Chapter 779 Go Sharpen Your Knife
The tiller has already driven away, but the off-road vehicle is still in Territory Nine.
Tang Huai followed Xia Qing out of the broken house and was about to open the passenger door. Xia Qing suggested, "Sit in the back."
"Okay." Tang Huai obeyed the advice very much. He got into the car and sat in the back seat. He stared at the unusual passenger seat and understood what was going on. "Is this... prepared for Boss Sheep?"
Xia Qing responded, fastened his seat belt and set off.
Tang Huai's eyes opened wider and wider, "The passenger seat in the mini-tiller also belongs to the sheep boss? That guy is very territorial and his nose is very useful, right? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier? I?"
Xia Qing explained, "There are only two seats in the mini tiller."
Where would you sit if you weren't in the passenger seat? Squatting behind the driver's seat where baskets and oil drums are placed, or sitting on the tool box mounted on the right side of the driver's seat?
"...That's right. Fortunately, you let Chen Zheng and Chen Cheng drive the tiller back, and they also sat in the passenger seat, otherwise Boss Sheep would have hated me."
Xia Qing didn't say a word, but she knew that Chen Cheng would definitely be squatting behind him. No one in the Huxufeng team dared to provoke the stubborn and strong Mr. Sheep. They never touched Mr. Sheep's things, not even under the big chun tree. go.
However, it is not a big deal for Tang Huai to sit in the co-pilot seat of the mini-tiller. Xia Qing also has several new seats for the sheep boss in the warehouse. He can just take the time to change them when he returns home.
The off-road vehicle parked under the north station sign of Territory No. 2. After Tang Huai returned to the territory, Xia Qing turned the steering wheel and entered Territory No. 3.
Hearing that his car was back, Mr. Yang immediately ran out of the house. Although Xia Qing was anxious, she still stopped the car and opened the door to let the sheep boss come up. "Boss, the bamboo we planted has evolved for the second time. I have to go and take a look."
"Hey." The sheep boss wearing a protective mask responded in a good mood while lying on the exclusive seat.
When Xia Qing parked the car at the edge of the west buffer forest, Guan Tong was already waiting beside him, "Sister Qing, the bamboo we just chopped an hour ago has more than 20 bamboos drilled out now. The fastest It’s already over one meter tall, and it’s really strong.”
As expected, Blue Star is not the craziest, only crazier.
Xia Qing took the sheep boss and followed Guan Tong to see the crazy bamboo.
When he was still fifteen meters away from the bamboo, Xia Qing felt the stronger and more ferocious magnetic field attack of the evolved bamboo, confirming that it had evolved a second time.
After the second evolution of hardness-evolved bamboo, not only the bamboo leaves turned red, but the bamboo roots also grew faster. Xia Qing looked down at the muddy ground in front of her. There is a bamboo root hidden less than twenty centimeters below. The recent magnetic field fluctuations Xia Qing felt came from here.
"Hey——" The sheep boss called out uneasily.
"I know there is danger ahead, so let's not get close." Xia Qing tightened the straps of the protective mask of the sheep boss, took out a steel ball, and shot it at the nearly two-meter-high red-leaf bamboo.
"Boom."
The newly grown bamboo was not hard enough, and the steel balls got stuck on the bamboo pole. The bamboo roots in the soil attacked again. Not only did they lift up the dozens of kilograms of stone slabs placed near the bamboos, but bamboo needles also stood up on the ground less than one meter in front of Xia Qing.
"What a guy!" Guan Tong exclaimed, "The bamboo roots have stretched again, and the strength of the fibrous roots has increased!"
Xia Qing's voice was still calm, but there was light in her eyes. "The hardness of the bamboo has also increased. Cutting down the bamboo will be more difficult than before."
"Don't be afraid of hard work, as long as it works." Guan Tong was happy, "There are still more than forty hours before the end of the rain. If we keep the pace, we can still cut at least five bamboo poles."
Twenty-eight bamboo poles were harvested in the first crop, and thirty-five bamboo poles were harvested in this crop, and the bamboo whips also lengthened. It is likely that more than forty bamboo poles will grow in the next crop. If you harvest five crops, there will be at least two hundred roots!
When growing crops during natural disasters, greenhouses must be built to ensure that the crops are not affected by rain and evolving pests and diseases.
To build a greenhouse, you need 117 arched supports and one main, four and five beams to fix the arched supports, all of which need to be made of bamboo. Because bamboo wood has suitable elasticity, hardness and light weight. The central and side columns supporting the arch brackets and main and auxiliary beams in the greenhouse can be made of hardwoods such as beech and maple.
In addition, insect-proof nets, rain-proof cloths, lamination wires, circlips, etc. are also required. These are consumables that need to be purchased. Of course, the skeleton of the greenhouse can also be built directly with steel, but the cost of building such a greenhouse is too high and cannot be afforded by the lords.
Therefore, in addition to being busy with farm work, the lords were also busy preparing wood for building greenhouses. If you can’t find good wood, the greenhouse you build won’t be strong enough and will only last a year or two.
This is the second year that the lords have entered the territories, and many territories are looking for wood to replace the broken brackets or posts on the greenhouses built last year.
Although Guan Tong is not a lord, he listens to the lords talking about this in the channel every day, and he also feels a sense of urgency. When he went out on a mission and saw a small tree with thick arms and thick legs, his first reaction was: this tree can be cut back and used as a pillar.
That's why he was so excited when he saw the harder evolved bamboo that grew faster after the second evolution. "Sister Qing, how many bamboos like this are enough to build a shed?"
Xia Qing accurately reported the figures, "If this kind of bamboo grows to about 18 meters and is cut down, and the diameter of the bamboo is about 20 centimeters, at least 15 bamboo pieces four centimeters wide can be cut, and one bamboo piece can be made into a Arch brackets. The brackets, main beams and auxiliary beams of the greenhouse are all made of this kind of bamboo. 11 bamboos are enough for 15 greenhouses, and the extra ones can be used as columns.”
Guan Tong was even more excited after hearing this, "Sister Qing, let's go back and sharpen the knife?"
Xia Qing was of course more excited than Guan Tong, "You go and sharpen the knife first, I'll fertilize the bamboo."
Even if the red-leaf bamboo has evolved twice, it is still a plant. If you want the red-leaf bamboo to grow quickly, it needs elements, water and nutrients.
Xia Qing drove home, moved eight bags of manure and nine bags of green manure from the shelf building warehouse, and drove them to the buffer forest. Then, she and Yang Laoda carried the fertilizer up the hillside to fertilize the red-leaf bamboo.
Xia Qing cleared 4.5 acres of growth space for the red-leaf bamboo in the western buffer forest. The nutrients provided by the seventeen bags of fertilizer are estimated to be only enough for the red-leaf bamboo to grow one crop.
It doesn't matter, after cutting this crop, continue to fertilize!
After Tang Zhengrong fell, Jiang Yansheng, who had taken Sun Zhe's business, was arrested along with his uncle, Jiang Quan, the head of the Territory Management Department. The earthworm manure business of Lord Sun Zhe No. 48 started again. Xia Qing had dozens of bags of earthworm manure in her warehouse, plus the manure she fermented with wild boar manure, which was enough for the red-leaf bamboo.
Of course, Xia Qing was reluctant to use the green light manure for the red-leaf bamboo. After using up the earthworm manure and wild boar manure, she could exchange their stock of manure with other lords. After the compost powder produced by Territory No. 8 was put on the market, the price of fertilizer dropped.
So Xia Qing didn't feel bad at all to feed the red-leaf bamboo with fertilizer. Because what she lacked now was not fertilizer, but high-quality building materials.
Spreading 17 bags of fertilizer on a 4.5-acre hillside in the rain was just a matter of ten minutes for Xia Qing, a sixth-level power evolver who was familiar with farm work.
After spreading the fertilizer, she and Sheep Boss stood in the rain beside the bamboo field, looking excitedly at the fast-growing red-leaf bamboo, as if they were looking at a sturdy greenhouse with steel and iron.
With this kind of greenhouse built with bamboo of such hardness, she is not afraid even if the wind in the next rain is two levels higher than this time!
Hu Zifeng listened to the sound of sharpening knives, and looked through the camera at the man and sheep standing side by side on the hillside bamboo field with umbrellas, and his blood boiled. (End of this chapter)
