Chapter 868 Little Eleven in the Valley
After the second rain, Xia Qing received 150 X-2 spinach seeds. Like his allies, Xia Qing planted half of the spinach seeds in the territory and half in the hidden valley.
A total of 43 spinach seedlings grew from 75 spinach seeds planted in a hidden valley, with a germination rate of 57%. This is because Xia Qing did not use pollution-free spring water to soak the seeds like everyone else, but only used filtered hot spring water in the valley to soak the seeds.
During the growth process of more than two months, 5 spinach plants died due to one reason or another. Among the 38 plants that survived until harvest, 21 were female plants that produced spinach seeds. They were the female plants among the six spinach plants in the valley. The highest rate.
The female plant can produce seeds, and the seeds can be sold for money. Xia Qing is happy and her allies are envious.
Zhang Shi helped Xia Qing lift the protective film on top of the spinach. Zhang Shiyi moved two large and three wooden piers, "Aunt Qing, here."
Zhang Shiyi, who has moved into Hidden Valley for two months, has a rounder face and is now able to take the initiative to call for help.
"Thank you." Xia Qing took the wooden stake and handed Zhang Eleven a small packaging bag that was only bigger than her little hand. "Can Eleven fill this bag with a hundred spinach seeds?"
"Yes." Zhang Shiyi happily took the small bag, sat back to back with her mother, and began to pick the spinach seeds stuck on the protective film, counting silently with her little mouth moving.
Xia Qing looked at her well-behaved look, and then thought of the shaved and twitching stupid monkey in his family, and felt a blockage in his heart.
After Zhang Shiyi filled a hundred seeds, he handed them to Xia Qing, and then stared nervously at Xia Qing's fingers counting the seeds with his big eyes.
"No problem, exactly one hundred pills."
After watching Xia Qing put the small bag next to the big bag containing spinach seeds, Zhang Shiyi turned to look at her mother. After receiving her mother's encouraging eyes, the little girl laughed silently. Her cute look made Xia Qing think about it every minute. Go home and throw away the stupid monkey.
With the help of Zhang Shiyi and his son, Xia Qing quickly picked up 1,995 spinach seeds, uprooted the spinach seedlings and put them into large packaging bags. Xia Qing will take these spinach seeds and spinach seedlings back to Tang Huai and exchange them for points.
Before leaving, Xia Qing took out a ten-pound bag of green light mung bean noodles from his backpack and handed it to Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi exchanged points with her for this. Xiao Eleven liked eating soup made from mung bean noodles very much. Just add mung bean flour and white flour and roll it into a thin dough. Use a knife to cut it into two or three centimeters long triangular sheets. After the filtered hot spring water boils, add the slices, a few slices of green vegetables and a yellow light poached egg. If you want to season, , just add a little salt, soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil.
The seasonings used by mother and son and the eggs they ate were all exchanged with Zhang San.
Xiao Shiyi could eat a bowl of such soup that was bigger than her head.
After handing the noodles to Zhang Shi, Xia Qing took out two pink flowered headbands from his backpack, bent down and handed them to Zhang Shiyi, "This is the reward for Zhang Shiyi to pick up spinach seeds for me next time." Just send the strawberry seedlings, and we can start preparing the strawberry fields on October 1."
Xia Qing hired Zhang Shiyi to help her catch insects and feed them to Green Lantern peanuts. The reward was five Green Lantern strawberries. This five-year-old girl carries a bag to catch insects in the evolutionary forest every day and feeds Xia Qing's half acre of green light peanuts to her full belly.
Seeing his mother nodding, Zhang Shiyi took the beautiful headband and thanked him obediently, "Thank you Aunt Qing. When will Aunt Qing come over next time?"
Xia Qing gave her a very accurate time, "Tomorrow morning, 7:30."
Tomorrow, she will go to work on Hill 55 for the last time.
With such a pink color, it seemed that Xia Qing had specially prepared it for his daughter. Zhang Shi nodded in thanks and pointed to the empty space in the peanut field, "In the rain, 45 green peanuts were downgraded to yellow, and 23 evolved into yellow." Uprooted; 78 yellow light peanuts were uprooted."
The rain came suddenly, and the Yishi that had been rented during the second rain in the valley had been "returned to the Qinglong team." Without the protection of Yishi, the crops in the valley also suffered certain losses from the rain.
Xia Qing nodded, "These are relatively weak plants to begin with. If they were not protected in the second rain, they would have evolved long ago."
Zhang Shi nodded and asked, "After harvesting the peanuts, what do you plan to plant?"
Xia Qing has already planned, "Plant sunflowers. The sunflower seeds distributed by our base have about a 2% probability of aggressive killing evolution. Planting them here is safer than planting them in the territory. I am lucky this year. There are five cultivable and optimized varieties of yellow-light sunflowers, all of which are green-light.”
Sunflowers are crops that can be used for oil extraction. Zhang Shi was also very happy when he heard that Xia Qing had cultivated green light quality seeds. "The sunflower seeds distributed by our base are short sunflowers used for oil extraction. One flower disk can produce 1,500-2,000 seeds." There are about 1,200 sunflower seeds that are mature and can be used as seeds. If all five flower trays are successfully harvested, the number will be 6,000. After soaking the seeds in hot spring water, the germination rate should reach 50%, which is enough to plant an acre of land. ”
Xia Qing didn't know whether Zhang Shi had just learned the planting technique or was already very good at it. Anyway, she can now explain the planting theory in a clear and logical manner, and she can also use the experimental equipment very smoothly. No matter how you look at it, she is now a genuine researcher.
The laboratory that Zhang San carved out on the stone wall of the hidden valley was used as an emergency shelter for the mother and daughter. In Zhang Shi's hands, the value of the laboratory was truly realized.
Xia Qing nodded, "The growth period of this kind of sunflower is 90-110 days. It can be planted after the peanuts are harvested, and it can be harvested before the rice seedlings are raised next year. During the growth period of the sunflower, the tenth sister and the eleventh sister will help to take care of it, and turn on the supplementary light for a little longer every day."
Because Xia Qing's one acre of land is on the side where Zhang Shi and his son live, she exchanged materials and asked Zhang Shi and his son to help with the daily management of the farmland.
Sunflowers are light-loving plants. The natural light in the valley is insufficient and supplementary light is needed.
Zhang Shi nodded, "Okay, you just give me 10 green light sunflower discs after the harvest."
"No problem." Xia Qing saw Zhang Shiyi looking at her with talking eyes, and said, "I will be able to harvest sunflowers in the middle of next month. At that time, I will pay you 200 green light seeds. After the seeds are over the dormant period, the tenth sister can plant them in the new experimental field."
Zhang Shiyi's face really lit up when he heard Xia Qing's words.
Zhang Shi thanked him, "Sister Qing will harvest the yellow light sunflowers next month, and after pressing the oil, can I exchange them?"
Vegetable oil is one of the important sources of energy needed by the human body. Zhang Shi and his mother are now settled and can use oil to cook food like before the natural disaster.
"Sure." Xia Qing planted a lot of sunflowers, which can be exchanged. After selling spinach seeds and spinach seedlings to Tang Heng, when he returned to the territory, he found that his allies were chatting on the lord's intercom about which territory the thresher and dryer had arrived, and chatting in the mobile phone group about what to plant in the farmland in the valley.
Some people wanted to plant sunflowers like Xia Qing, while others wanted to plant potatoes. Without exception, these two plants have a certain probability of aggressive evolution. Planting them in farmland without Yishi protection is equivalent to a time bomb during the rainy season.
Unintentionally, each lord planned to leave a place for chicken coops in the plots allocated to them. When the third rainy season came, they would move the precious yellow light or green light chickens in the territory to the valley to "avoid the disaster."
The green lantern crabs that the lords exchanged with the Tang family have been kept in the valley and do not need to be moved back and forth.
When Xia Qing returned to the territory and turned on the intercom, he heard the allies excitedly discussing the new drug that Huisan Pharmaceutical Factory was about to propose - Scar Cleaner.
