Chapter 745 Peas with Four Generations of Stability
This car is fun to drive, but it needs to drink diesel. Diesel needs to be bought with points, so after Xia Qing drove it for a few laps and got a little satisfied, she took the sheep boss back home and put the car in the car that had been packed in advance. The living room on the first floor of the shelf building is separated from her tiller by a wall.
"Boss, let's go." Xia Qing took the thick "Beast Fourth Generation Off-Road Vehicle Instructions" in the car and called to his companions to go out. There is no screen cover on the door of the shelf building, so you have to go out quickly and close the door, otherwise there will be a lot of mosquitoes running in.
The sheep boss rubbed his body against the car's body to express his love for the car, and then followed Xia Qing out of the garage.
Xia Qing carried a drinking bucket to the spring cave to collect water, and also checked the growth of weeds.
The third weeping plant was grown from the side buds cut off in March. Although it is still small, its fibrous roots have already penetrated into the soil and its leaves are no longer wilted. This shows that the roots have been able to absorb nutrients from the soil to supply the leaves with growth.
Xia Qing really owns three weeping grasses.
Some time ago, after discovering that the cut side buds had grown fibrous roots, Xia Qing also cut off the second side buds. That side bud had not melted into water and was now in a wilting state. It is expected that fibrous roots will grow in nearly a month.
By then, Xia Qing will have four weeping grasses!
What's even more gratifying is that after Xia Qing cut off the side buds, another side bud emerged from the seven-leaf weeping grass.
Although the mature weed seeds were buried in the soil, Xia Qing opened her eyes and looked carefully, but she couldn't see any small buds emerging from the soil. According to the cultivation guide given to her by Zhang San, if the seeds of weed grass do not germinate in spring, they will enter a dormant period due to rising temperatures in summer, and will not germinate and grow until autumn or the following spring.
Xia Qing is not in a hurry, because the weeping grass she now has is enough to detoxify. If the seeds eventually lose their vitality and none germinate, she will abandon the method of propagating more weeds from seeds and propagate by division instead.
After checking the weeds, Xia Qing came to the open space on the left and right sides of the greenhouse and scared away the birds of all sizes that were digging for insects from the soil.
While weeding yesterday, she found some cutworms and grubs. This shows that these two bugs are not only resistant to the insecticides distributed in the safety zone, but also to the insecticide developed by Zhang San last year, and need to be cleaned manually.
The frightened birds saw Xia Qing squatting here and refused to move away, so they could only land a little further away and continue to eat insects.
Xia Qing closed her eyes and listened carefully to distinguish the sounds of creatures in the soil from the sounds of wind, water, birds, frogs, crickets and other insects.
The swishing sound is the wriggling sound of slender earthworms. Earthworms are considered beneficial insects and do not catch. The rustling and crunching sounds are the sounds of cutworms and grubs gnawing at roots.
She quickly locked onto the target, accurately dug out a big, fat grub from the soil ten centimeters deep, and threw it to the big magpie waiting next to it.
Although these big magpies do not live in her territory, every time Xia Qing rummaged the soil outside the greenhouse or weeded, they would come and look for insects in the soil to eat. They were Xia Qing's good neighbors.
Like wolf howls, bird calls also have the function of expressing strong emotions and transmitting information. With more contact with birds, Xia Qing can also discern some information from their calls.
When birds sing softly and spread out their feathers, it means they are in the breeding season and are trying their best to attract the attention of their mates; when they jump on the branches and the frequency of their calls is high, they are conveying news that makes the birds happy; When their voices are rapid and high-pitched, they express anger or uneasiness.
Now, the magpie that got it is very happy, and the magpies and wild pigeons that didn't get it are very angry.
Xia Qing raised the corners of her mouth, and when she found the second worm, she threw it to the angry bird. Then, this guy screamed with joy.
Digging insects gives Xia Qing a sense of accomplishment, and feeding birds also gives her a sense of accomplishment.
The sun turned to a certain angle to the west, and the sheep grazing on the hillside walked out of Territory No. 3 with his face brushed. At the same time, the grown-up little honey badger, with its arrogant snow-white flat head, also arrived humming.
A sheep and a honey badger began to fight, and the noise disturbance increased.
This was a good opportunity to exercise his hearing. Xia Qing used his hearing more attentively to distinguish the slight sounds made by pests.
When it got dark, the sheep boss opened two doors and returned to his territory. He came to Xia Qing's side with his head held high.
Xia Qing immediately praised his companion, "Boss, you defeated the little honey badger so quickly? That's amazing! You have pedaled a lot on the bicycle in the past two days, and your legs are more flexible, right?"
"What!"
"Boss is great. He works hard every day. Boss is getting stronger and stronger, and our territory is getting safer and safer. Boss is indeed the pride of the evolved sheep..."
"Crack!"
The sound of a big tree breaking and falling came from outside the territory, and the sheep boss was frightened. Xia Qing rubbed the small curly hair on its head, walked to the iron fence, and saw a waist-thick tree, which fell on the iron fence. On the north isolation zone outside the network wall.
The tree that fell down was the one that Little Pingtou chewed on to vent his anger every time he lost to the Sheep Boss.
After cleaning up the snakes and rats in the third area of No. 49 Mountain for Xia Qing, this little guy found a new use - logging.
"Thank you, little crew chief." Xia Qing brushed her face and walked out, dragging the tree that fell on the isolation belt into the third area.
Xiaopingtou angrily tried to bite Xia Qing, but she gently kicked him away because Xia Qing was afraid that Xiaopingtou would bite through the new material summer clothes she bought for a lot of money.
The little boy rolled over and got up. He lifted his nose and smelled it. He immediately stopped paying attention to Xia Qing and turned around to bite the break of the big tree.
Xia Qing walked over and found that the tree had worms in its heart. It turned out that the little flat-head bit the tree every time after a fight, not just to vent his anger, but also to eat worms.
Animals that can survive in the evolutionary forest after eleven years of natural disasters have a certain survival wisdom.
Xia Qing returned to the territory and asked the sheep boss to carry a basket on his back. A large bucket of drinking water that had just been filled was placed in the basket on the left, and the basket on the right was used to hold vegetables.
She would eat steamed eggplant and scrambled eggs with green peppers in the evening, and cold tomatoes tomorrow morning, so she picked some and put them in the basket. Pick a handful of long beans, go back and blanch them with hot water, and dry them into dried beans to stew meat in winter. Pick a few cucumbers that the sheep boss likes to eat, and cut a handful of alfalfa, "It's done, let's go home."
When passing the edge of the pea bed, the sheep boss didn't leave.
Xia Qing looked back, "Want to eat pea tips?"
"Meh~"
"The peas are starting to bloom, so we can't pick too many. Let's pick a handful and bring them back for the boss to mix with."
"Meh~~" The sound of the sheep's clip was soft and long, which made Xia Qing feel soft.
The peas planted in this vegetable patch were found by Zhong Tao and Zheng Kui from Huiyi Base. 300 bean seeds grew 105 bean seedlings, with a germination rate of 35%, which is at least ten points lower than the germination rate of ordinary yellow light seeds. This is after Xia Qing soaked them in unpolluted spring water.
Although they were planted in terraced fields rich in high-yi element soil, the pea seedlings, which had a toxic element content of 8‰ when they germinated, now have a toxic element content of more than 9‰. When the peas mature, the toxic element content will definitely exceed 10‰. When the second crop is planted, many will become red light plants.
This means that the plant seeds cultivated by Huiyi with two generations of stability only have one generation of stability in Huisan's territory.
Although Xia Qing and Yang Laoda both like to eat pea seedlings, Xia Qing did not use Yishi to protect the pea field.
Because these more than 100 pea seedlings with only two generations of stability are not worth the Yishi used to protect them, Xia Qing needs better quality pea seeds.
Xia Qing asked Kuang Qingwei, Zhong Tao and Zheng Kui to help her find them. Now she has heard that Huijiu Base has pea seeds with four generations of stability. Kuang Qingwei has already made arrangements with the second-hand dealers there. When Huijiu's peas are mature, he will purchase a batch and ship them over to sell them in Huisan.
