Just like a piece of snow-white gauze, dancing lightly in the sky, filling the entire sky.
Under the rain and fog are endless rice fields. The rice fields are not yet fully mature, but some places are already glowing with golden color. It seems that the harvest season is approaching.
In addition to the rice fields, there are many neat fertile fields and green grass nearby. There are actually cattle, sheep, chickens and birds chasing and playing on them. A clear stream passes through the middle.
Compared to the desolate, dark, and oppressive Black Gold Base, this place is simply unbelievably beautiful. It is a complete paradise on earth. Even the humid air that floats in is accompanied by bursts of fragrance of wood leaves.
Ding Meng couldn't help but close his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath. This was the taste of freedom.
Fred had already begun to explain: "TT12 is a planet on the edge of the empire. Since there is no energy to be mined here, but the natural conditions and climate are very good, pure natural green food and raw materials are grown here..."
Ding Meng couldn't help but admired: "This place is really nice."
Fred couldn't help turning his head and giving him a strange look: "You are the first person who thinks this place is good."
"Is there any problem?" Ding Meng asked.
Fred didn't bother to pay attention to his question and pointed to a few empty mud fields nearby: "Boy, don't say that uncle didn't take care of you, this place will be yours from now on."
"What do you mean?" Ding Meng was curious.
Fred's eyes looked even weirder: "You can grow vegetables, farm, raise cattle, or raise chickens."
Ding Meng suspected that his ears were wrong. I said no, my brother finally got rid of his identity as a laborer, and now he comes here to work as a vegetable farmer?
"Okay, if you want me to grow vegetables, you must have rapeseeds, and if you want to raise cattle, you must have calves, right?" Ding Meng is a pragmatic person, and his questions are more practical.
Fred rolled his eyes: "That's your own business. My job is only to bring you here. The rest has nothing to do with me."
"This..." Ding Meng was a little dumbfounded.
Fred pointed in another direction: "You are not alone, you have neighbors."
Looking in the direction of his finger, Ding Meng could see clearly that his room was actually a simple wooden house. There was a two-story cement bungalow next to the wooden house, and there was a small yard in front of the house.
An old man with gray hair had already walked out of the yard. He was probably older than Fred, but one look at his face showed that he was an orthodox Chinese descendant. Fred was already saying hello: "Old man Yu, come and see
Look at your new neighbor, this guy’s name is Ding Meng.”
Old Yu smiled happily: "Welcome, Ding Meng, come on, come in and sit down."
Old Man Yu's home is definitely much better than Ding Meng's cabin. It has at least the most basic living facilities. As soon as he entered the house, Old Man Yu greeted Ding Meng warmly, first poured water, and then brought a plate of nuts: "
Xiao Ding, right? You call me Lao Yu. Come on, come on. Eat something first. I heard the tribune said that you survived an interstellar disaster. It must have been very hard. This thing is refreshing. Eat more...
"
In the interstellar era where everyone takes nutritional solutions, this peanut-like nut can be regarded as a very good snack. Din Meng is still discerning. He knows that this is the famous specialty of Nuoxing Empire, sour plum pecan fruit, which is very popular.
Popular with wealthy people.
Ding Meng suddenly became very uncomfortable, because he was used to other people's cold looks and suspicion, used to other people's insidiousness and hatred, and suddenly a stranger asked him for help, which made him very embarrassed.
The old man is an ordinary human being. When he was middle-aged, his wife died unexpectedly, leaving behind a daughter who was studying in Akize City. He was left alone on this farm in the countryside, making a living by planting this large piece of land. He was usually too boring to be alone, and now suddenly he came
Old Yu Na was very happy to have a neighbor.
As evening approached, Lao Yu even took out three bottles of nutrient solution and forced them into Ding Meng's hands:
"Xiao Ding, I know you have just come here, and you will be very uncomfortable in the following days. I don't know if you have done farm work before. It is definitely hard. Take these three mixtures first, and have a good sleep at night.
If you need anything, call me anytime tomorrow..."
Ding Meng held three bottles of nutrient solution and didn't know what to say. In the current environment, of course he couldn't refuse such a gift. After all, in addition to a claw knife and a bracelet, he had
There really is nothing else.
However, Ding Meng still asked: "Old Yu, the land you grow has so much grain, vegetables, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, why don't you cook and eat it yourself?"
There was a trace of emotion on Lao Yushang's face: "After all, the mixture is cheaper. We can sell these green foods to purchasers at a good price. Xiao Ding, you are still young, so you can save some savings for future emergencies."
…”
Although his words were short, Ding Meng understood immediately. This is a fringe planet of the Nuo Star Empire. It is probably dedicated to planting. These green foods are not for people who are older than them to eat, but are sold to professionals at low prices.
The purchasers then sell them to the big cities in the central galaxy at high prices for the rich to enjoy.
This is of the same nature as labor mining in the black gold base. Diamonds stained with blood and tears will eventually become embellishments for celebrities, powerful people or beautiful women, rather than becoming jewelry for workers.
Ding Meng suddenly felt very emotional. He remembered an old proverb: He who is covered with silkworms is not a silkworm breeder.
But this place is N times stronger than the Black Gold Base. At least you can live freely. For Ding Meng, this is enough.
Until now, Ding Meng finally understood what Fred meant, that is, you can freely plant the few open spaces in front of the door, and that is what you rely on to settle down here.
Just farm the land. Ding Meng could understand that it was impossible for people to live as they pleased. Being at peace with the situation was what people should really learn.
The three mixtures given by Lao Yu are obviously not comparable to the cheap nutrient solutions in the Black Gold Base. First of all, they are very beautiful in appearance, with the empire's unique dagger logo naturally printed on them. Secondly, there is the name of the manufacturer: "Nuo
Star Empire Qiuze City Anweier Food Production Co., Ltd."
The trademark on the surface of the test tube also states the capacity: "Energy 500 Dika."
This is also easy to understand. The energy required by a normal person in a day is about 120 Dika. The capacity of the nutrient solution in the black gold base is 40 Dika. It takes about 12 bottles to equal the amount of this one from Lao Yu, and Lao Yu sends
Giving him three tubes is basically equivalent to giving him ten days of food rations, which must be a way of taking care of him.
Returning to his cabin, Ding Meng felt very emotional. He escaped from the Black Gold Base to the Nox Star Empire almost overnight, and he still came to such a peaceful place.
Although they have escaped from the dangerous environment, survival is still the primary goal.
Survival, no matter what environment you are placed in, is never a simple matter.
