Chapter 742 Used Car
After handing the rabbit to Zhao Ze, Xia Qing returned to his own territory and continued to clean the weeds growing on the open space outside the greenhouse.
It has rained a lot these days, and the weeds grow very fast. They must be cleaned regularly, otherwise the tall weeds will not only block the sunlight, but the pests and microorganisms in the grass may spread into the greenhouse and threaten the growth of crops.
The weeds outside the greenhouse on flat cultivated land are easy to clean. Xia Qing drove the micro-tillage machine around a few times and finished mowing. The weeds grown on the open space more than 20 meters away from the woods that were cleaned up on the hillside terraces need to be cleaned manually by Xia Qing.
Manually cleaning the weeds outside the greenhouse after the rain is a farm work with a high risk factor.
Because there must be ruthless species among these weeds, the ruthless species may have high grass stem hardness, the juice may contain high toxicity, and the edges of the grass leaves may have sharp saw teeth that can cut through the first-level protective clothing in the wild.
Moreover, the dense weeds may also hide insects and pathogenic microorganisms that have developed resistance to insect repellents. Being bitten by these insects or infected with pathogenic microorganisms may lead to death.
The weather becomes hot and humid this season, and it is uncomfortable to work in protective clothing, so many people take chances and do not wear protective clothing, or only wear protective boots and protective pants, which makes working outside the greenhouse more dangerous.
Just yesterday, the investigation team used loudspeakers and intercoms to broadcast the latest danger announcement in a loop:
Four people in the northern area of the first territory did not wear protective masks when clearing weeds, and were bitten by evolved flying ants carrying deadly pathogens, causing sepsis and death. The Territory Management Department issued a danger warning, reminding the lords to work outside the greenhouse and wear protective clothing and protective masks correctly as required.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Xia Qing was weeding with a hoe beside the greenhouse in the northern buffer forest of Territory No. 3.
Grass is not something that grows straight up. Some grow around the soil, and some grow around other plants. Some only have a cluster of delicate small leaves, but the roots are deeply rooted in the soil. If you only remove the leaves, a large piece will emerge in two days.
Therefore, Xia Qing does not use a sickle to clean the weeds, but uses a special wide hoe to remove the weeds by the roots. This way, the cleaning is cleaner, but it is also more laborious.
There are many stones on the hillside, and even if Xia Qing is a power evolver, she will be thirsty and tired after working for a long time.
After cleaning the weeds and shrubs in the isolation belt outside the low-slope greenhouse, she entered the greenhouse, took off her protective mask, wiped the sweat on her face and neck with a towel, drank a mouthful of boiled water, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xia Qing is a high-level evolver with better resistance than ordinary people and general evolvers, but she works in the area of the territory that is not covered by the greenhouse insect net. No matter how hot it is, she will take adequate protection.
These days, she has been active in the territory, not only wearing protective clothing, but also spraying the insect repellent spray exchanged with the idol on her body.
Because of being bitten by a poisonous animal or infected with evolved bacteria, you must take or apply medicine to detoxify, so Xia Qing can't take medicine now.
Next month, she will start soaking in body damage recovery medicine again. If she takes or applies medicine during this period, it will affect the effect of the recovery medicine, and Xia Qing may suffer in vain.
After drinking water, Xia Qing came to the grape trellis beside the spring cave and rested in the shade formed by the grape vines and the cave. The sheep boss who had been grazing on the hillside also came over and lay down next to him.
Xia Qing stretched her legs in light and breathable light purple trousers, shook her new shoes, and stretched her arms in the same light and thin long gown, sighing, "Boss, you get what you pay for. This dress is so comfortable."
The wooly sheep boss narrowed his eyes and ignored Xia Qing.
Xia Qing is now wearing the new summer clothes that she exchanged with Yang Jin last time.
The color and style of this clothing are ordinary, but the price is comparable to the third-level field protective clothing, and it has reached the protection level of the second-level field protective clothing. Therefore, when Xia Qing works in the territory, she no longer needs to wear field protective clothing.
After Yang Jin asked Hu Zifeng to deliver the clothes, Xia Qing tried them on and confirmed that they were worth the money. She immediately contacted Yang Jin and exchanged for another set of the same series.
There are many styles of this new material summer clothing, and the prices of different styles vary greatly. Xia Qing wanted the most practical and simple low-priced style, but it was sold for 4,500 points per set.
Now she has three sets of new material summer long-sleeved shirts and trousers in camouflage, light purple and aqua, enough to replace.
With the comparison of the new material outerwear, Xia Qing felt that the original pure cotton underwear was not comfortable enough.
After searching for information online and finding that this new material fabric also has underwear, Xia Qing used her good friend Xin Yu's purchasing channels to get three more sets of new material underwear to wear with the outerwear.
In addition to underwear, Xia Qing also bought two pairs of summer protective boots, two comfortable and breathable protective masks, and several head covers, gloves and socks under Xin Yu's recommendation.
These clothes and protective equipment cost a total of 56,700 points. Xia Qing felt distressed when she heard the price, but she did not hesitate when paying.
Xia Qing has always been able to eat the best food and use the best things within her ability. This was the case in the safe zone before, not to mention the better conditions now.
Isn't working hard just to make yourself live more comfortably? Otherwise, what's the point of working hard?
After resting for a while, Xia Qing put on the newly exchanged protective mask and walked out of the greenhouse. He cleaned up the weeds outside the high slope planting area in one breath, then shook off the soil on the roots of the weeds, tied them into bundles for the sheep boss to carry down, and dried them in the open space outside the yard. These grasses cannot be used to weave straw mats or make nests for chickens, but they can be burned into ash for potash fertilizer.
Potassium fertilizer is an indispensable fertilizer for the growth of corn, tomatoes and potatoes.
After finishing the farm work this morning, one person and one sheep slowly went home to make lunch and take a rest.
"Xia Qing, are you there?"
Yue Haiying's inquiry came from the Lord's channel.
Xia Qing pressed the button, "Here, Brother Yue, please tell me."
Yue Haiying asked, "A batch of old cars have been phased out by the army. Each one has 30,000 points. Are you interested?"
Xia Qing bought a car to drive out of the territory, so he couldn't hide it from anyone. That's why the two communicated on the walkie-talkie to give the car a clear path.
During the years of natural disasters when supplies are in short supply, even an old car sold for only 30,000 points is quite cheap. Xia Qing knew that Yue Haiying must have gotten more cars than this, but she still pretended to be reluctant, "Brother Yue, why are used cars so expensive?"
"snort."
In the simple container house in Territory No. 14, Feng Wen sneered coldly and laughed at Xia Qing for being poor, "A 30,000 yuan old car is too expensive. I really haven't seen the world. Brother Meng, let's get a car too? The territory is too big." No, it’s not convenient to go anywhere without a car.”
Yan Meng sat on the wooden post beside the bed and looked at his mobile phone without raising his head, and he was too lazy to speak. Feng Wen pursed her lips and secretly moved her body and stretched her neck to see what he was looking at.
Yan Meng turned around alertly, "Stop bothering me here, get up and go pull the weeds!"
Feng Wen, half lying on the bed, felt aggrieved, "I just woke up, I feel uncomfortable, and I haven't eaten yet. How can I have the strength to pull weeds..."
Seeing that Yan Meng remained silent, Feng Wen immediately made a request, "Brother Meng, can you help me get some filtered water? I want to take a bath."
Yan Meng frowned impatiently, but still stood up and walked out.
After he went out, Feng Wen immediately turned around and opened the window on the other side, getting as close as possible to the dirty screen window to breathe in the fresh air from outside. She heard Tang Huai's voice coming from the intercom, "Brother Yue, natural disaster nine The quality of the off-road vehicles purchased last year is very good, how come the second-hand vehicles are only sold for 30,000? "
