The sky was getting brighter, and people who were used to working were waiting at the city gate. They were very excited when they heard that sowing had finally started today.
Wei Zhou and Yuan You came with the doctor-hatted robot. Behind them were six soldiers, each carrying a linen bag.
The city gate slowly opened, and the group went to the plowing fields.
Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye were called forward and taught how to grow three kinds of food by the doctor-hatted robot.
First of all, the corn was shining with gold in the linen bag and the grains were very plump. They were extremely surprised.
The world's food production is not high and the quality is low. Compared with the food grown through genetic modification, it is much different.
Growing corn is easy.
Dig a hole and throw two or three corn kernels into each hole.
Apply fertilizer and cover the edges with soil.
The doctor-hatted robot taught, and the three of them started learning. Then came the sweet potatoes and potatoes, which needed to be cut into pieces, dug, fertilized, and covered with soil. The natural fertilizers were manure and plant ash, and I ordered people to prepare them last night.
The three of them planted the seeds and smiled knowingly.
In addition to sowing, sweet potatoes and potatoes can also be planted using germination methods. Now everyone is waiting, sowing is more convenient.
Lin Mu, Tian Wei, and Fang Ye learned the lesson, and they supervised and taught the remaining people. Some people continued to dig the soil, and some people planted seeds. If there was not enough fertilizer, Yuanyou designated a few people to pick up manure. If the fertilizer could not keep up with the supply,
, is their responsibility.
No one finds it hard to face the loess and back to the sky.
When I had lunch, I still devoured my food ravenously, and I felt confident looking at the cultivated land that had been prepared.
After a busy day's work, everyone returned home and lay contentedly on their beds. Tonight in their dreams, they couldn't finish the food growing all over the ground.
Everyone is laughing in their dreams, laughing and crying. It’s so good to be alive, if their families can see it too...
Day after day, the number of seeds in the sacks is reduced. When they are all planted, the acres and acres of cultivated land will be more beautiful than anything else in the eyes of the people.
The next day there was no need to go out to the city to dig the land. The men built the city and the women were gathered to tailor clothes.
All the cloth in the city has been collected, but there is not much, enough for one person to make a new suit of clothes. Everyone is very busy in the main street of the city, building tiles and repairing houses. They still only eat one meal a day, a bowl of gruel and a thick steamed bun. It's simple, but it gives them a head start in life.
Roughly speaking, a month has almost passed. The food in the granary has bottomed out, and Yuan You is so worried that he can't sleep at night.
Seeing him paying homage with dark circles under his eyes, Zhu Qinghong smiled helplessly: "He is a natural-born prime minister with a temperament that cares about the country and the people."
"I don't dare." Yuanyou hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, his heart pounding. The city lord said it casually, or did he test him?
Zhu Qinghong walked outside the door, stood under the eaves and looked at the sky.
The time has come and the seeds sown need water.
She smiled: "It will rain today."
Yuanyou looked at the sky and stopped talking.
I don’t know when it started, but the sky has always been gloomy, and it has not rained for a long time.
[Master, the weather in this world is abnormal. Some places have not rained for a long time, and some places have been raining. There are also some places that are ravaged by snow, hail, strong winds, and thunder and lightning every day. The cause is still under investigation, and it is predicted to be related to the proliferation of demons.]<
/p>
Before a catastrophe, animals will be in chaos.
Monsters are, after all, mutated animals. Animals are more sensitive to danger than humans.
"Don't be so sad." Zhu Qinghong turned around and said, "Let the people prepare pots and pans to catch the rainwater."
Yuanyou opened his mouth, but said nothing.
He bowed and stepped back, working seriously. The city lord kept fetching water, could there be something wrong with the well water?
"Ono, prepare for artificial rainfall." Zhu Qinghong stood with his hands behind his back. There is no fixed water source, so he can only survive like this.
[Yes. Master. Preparation for artificial rainfall. Preparation is complete. Launch of rain bombs. Successful launch. It is expected to rain in half an hour.]
The main hall of the city lord's mansion.
The roof opened, and a fort appeared. The fort fired rockets into the sky, straight into the clouds.
Dark clouds gathered quickly, and the already gloomy sky suddenly turned dark.
When Yuanyou saw this, he trotted forward. Is it really going to rain?
The soldiers beat gongs and drums and shouted: "It's going to rain. Folks, prepare pots and pans to collect water. It's raining!"
The people were doubtful but did not dare to disobey.
They moved out pots and pans one after another, including anything that could hold water.
Just when everyone is busy.
One drop of rain hit the ground, then two drops, three drops... everyone was surprised. Is it raining?
It’s raining!
Countless people cheered and moved things faster.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and no matter how happy they were, they hid in the house. They knew better than anyone else that they should not get sick in the rain. Herbs are scarce nowadays, and if they get sick, they can only wait to die.
So be cautious.
The rain fell along the eaves, forming a rain curtain. Zhu Qinghong smiled and stretched out his hand to catch the cold rainwater.
With this rain, Tian Chong City barely recovered a wave of blood.
However, the problem of insufficient water resources still exists, and we still have to find ways to solve it.
[Master, the vegetation nearby is not completely dead. Once it rains, everything will revive. Does it rain every ten days?]
"Yes." Zhu Qinghong stopped his hand and shook off the water. The recovery of vegetation is good news, and wild vegetables are also a kind of food.
Yuanyou's eyes filled with tears when he saw the vitality of the people on the street. Who would have thought that not long ago, there were people sitting here waiting to die.
The business under Zhu Qinghong's shop was handed over to Jiang Shan. This guy has a smile on his face, a sharp tongue, and knows how to treat guests.
The only drawback was that he was illiterate. Zhu Qinghong smiled and found a simple school.
There is a wooden board in the shop, and the doctor-hatted robot is responsible for teaching.
One coin per class, and only ten numbers are learned.
At this time, the official issued an order that if you want to continue working, you must know numbers. There is a unified examination, and only if you pass the assessment can you get a new job.
The money in the hands of the common people is not yet warm, and they are eager to hand it over to the school. They are afraid that it will be too late and their regular work will be gone.
This condition is not only implemented by the common people, but also by the soldiers. Those big bosses all have grim faces, which is more uncomfortable than fighting monsters.
Ten numbers can be learned over and over again, no matter how stupid you are. When everyone has learned it, the school will start teaching new words.
The same ten words, very simple.
During this period of time, apart from working, the common people also studied. After learning ten words, they learned ten more words. When they realized it, they already knew a lot of words, but the writing was a bit ugly. At least they could write their own names.<
/p>
The corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the ground are sprouting. They are growing day by day, and they are fertilized.
The people were smiling.
The corn is pumped high and the ears are on the cob.
The tall corns are very eye-catching from a distance. Just looking at them makes people feel happy.
When the corn cobs were ready to be eaten, Zhu Qinghong personally broke off a few and asked Ono to make corn cakes to try.
When Yuanyou and Wei Zhou ate it for the first time, their eyes lit up. The corn cake had a very unique sweetness and was very delicious.
"Today's corn is very tender and delicious to cook. When it gets old, it can only be ground into flour." Zhu Qinghong said with a smile, "Let people pick more and bring them back. Tomorrow, the store will not sell steamed buns, but this one. Because there are other ingredients.
, let’s settle on two cents each.”
Two cents? Isn’t that expensive? Yuanyou couldn’t help but think, it only costs one cent to rent a shop for a day, is it really not expensive?
No matter whether it’s expensive or not, this is the only thing tomorrow.
The common people bought it even if they didn't want to. Sure enough, after the steamed buns were replaced, the common people reluctantly bought it. When they tasted it, they were surprised, it was so delicious. Zhu Qinghong pouted, "It's not delicious, there is sugar in it."
Rain makes vegetation come alive.
Many wild plants are growing happily, such as flax. Yuanyou sent a group of people to collect them.
Worried about monsters, No. 2 escorted them back and forth. After taking back the things, the women had a few more tasks.
When the corn grows old, a large number of people will harvest it.
Break the corn, chop the stalks, and carry the leaves. The corn leaves are sent to the place where the women work together, and they are taught how to make baskets, mats, and straw sandals.
Straw sandals are in high demand, so they naturally account for the majority.
Submit them all when you are done.
Someone is responsible for drying the collected corn, then threshing it, and then putting it into the grain warehouse.
Corn stalks are used as firewood and need to be stored in storage.
Not long after the corn harvest was finished, it was time to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes. Everyone was busy again and could buy cooked food in the store the next day.
