96.Chapter 96

The division of labor between several people lasted for a week, and finally, the preparations for the fifteenth and sixteenth floors of the house were all ready......

"Huh? If you look at the top, I remember that there were only iron shelves outside the windows on the sixteenth floor. Why doesn't it seem like you haven't paid attention for a day, even the outside of the fifteenth floor is full? ”

"What's the day you haven't noticed? Wasn't there an iron fence outside the window on the fifteenth floor? ”

"But what about the other rooms?"

"Who knows, there's nothing hanging in the shelf anyway."

The solar panels are flat, so they are more conspicuous if they are taken out on their own, but they look less noticeable if they are covered by a relatively tight metal fence.

Luo Xun and the others have exchanged a lot of solar panels with the points they contributed together in the past few days, but they still haven't been able to completely hang all the walls outside the two floors, and they still need to make persistent efforts.

Xu Mei and her two got all the soil needed for the two floors back one after another in the middle of last month, and now it has been dried and placed in neatly placed planting racks.

In the corridor on the fifteenth floor, there is only a row of planting shelves in front of the doors of the rooms near 1503 and 1504, and there are two freezers and a washing machine side by side in the outer part.

This washing machine was replaced by Li Tie and the others before, and it was specially used as a public washing machine for everyone-of course, except for Luo Xun and his family. The two freezers were placed here to prepare the harvested vegetables, and they are not currently energized.

A refrigerator that everyone got back last time is now in Li Tie's room, because the crops they planted before are now being harvested one after another, and they need to be used after harvesting.

And now, Luo Xun is taking Xu Mei and Yan Fei behind, and together they are bringing out boxes of good seedlings from Xu Mei's home.

It's all rice seedlings, and now all they have to do is plant the seedlings!!

In addition to Xu Mei's room on the 15th floor, the rest of the rooms are ready to plant a layer of rice on the middle floor, which is their source of rations in the future!!

Although there are a lot of people in the current otaku team, if these three rooms plus the rice planted by Luo Xun before can grow smoothly, then if they are planted in turn with other food crops, they can fully afford to feed their group of people! Luo Xun's goal is high-quality mutant rice, of course, even if he can't get high-quality mutant varieties, the price of normal rice that can grow normal and unmutated rice in the base will be much higher than that of ordinary mutant rice with unpalatable taste and large yield.

Luo Xun's family does not need to eat food at home at least once a day, Li Tie, Zhang Su and other people who go out to work can also eat two working meals in the base every day, and they really eat completely at home, using only three ladies who do not eat much, so if their crops can grow smoothly, no matter what kind of rice they harvest, it will be converted into their net income. What's more, what do they gain from more than that?

Originally, the number of seeds and seedlings prepared by Luo Xun's family was not enough to fill these rooms, but everyone was very lucky to meet the base that was promoting family planting and the planting price was surprisingly low! In addition, whether it is Luo Xun or Li Tie, they can go through some relationships, and the price of seeds they can exchange for is even lower. There is absolutely no problem with planting on these two floors!

The group walked into 1504 - this room was a three-bedroom apartment like 1501, and the interior area was relatively large. Now it's filled with rows of iron shelves. The iron shelves are divided into three tiers, although they appear to be only two.

The lowest level does not need to ask, it must be with a bunch of very inconspicuous drawers, in which pieces of processed wood have been placed, and mycelium has been cultivated on them, just waiting for mushrooms to grow slowly, which usually has nothing to do with and cares about.

On top of the mushrooms are rows of "fields" that have been laid out with dirt waiting for the seedlings to be planted. And after planting, it will be filled with water.

Of course, these iron shelves were designed by Luo Xun, who designed the upper and lower water outlets, so that the water in them could be drained and circulated in time. At the bottom of the top of these shelves is a row of fluorescent lamps - these are the lighting. The shelves on top are also equipped with soil, so if you want to cultivate and pick vegetables, you can easily climb up the ladder erected next to each shelf.

The space on the upper shelves is lower than that on the lower level, and you can only grow vegetables and crops that don't grow too tall, such as potatoes, onions, and all kinds of leafy greens. The upper level of the row of shelves against the wall in the room is prepared for climbing iron pipes according to Luo Xun's 1603, ready to be planted with all kinds of plants that need to climb vines - they can climb all the way to the ceiling to build a pergola densely, which really makes full use of all the available space in the room.

There are two other empty rooms on the fifteenth floor with the same design as here, that is to say, except for the room where everyone lives, except for the various vegetables and fruits that have been planted in 1603, the rest of the rooms are all food and vegetables at the same time, and not an inch of space is wasted.

Even in the corridors and stairs, Luo Xun and the others are ready to grow some vegetables that are not allowed to be exposed to sunlight for a long time, such as lettuce, such as asparagus, etc., which can be done every day with only a fill light.

As for the rooms where the others lived, Luo Xun had already decided that if his own fruits could produce seeds this year, then let these rooms mainly grow some fruits and fast-ripening vegetables. Now it is naturally used to grow vegetables directly, which makes it easier to care for and faster to harvest.

Insert the seedlings into the soil one by one, because there are only so many seedlings that are good enough to be planted today, Luo Xun used these seedlings to teach Xu Mei and the two by the way, and then the seedlings that will be sent will be directly handed over to the two ladies to cultivate.

After the seedlings were planted, Song Lingling stood next to the water tank specially used for water supply in the bathroom and began to put water inside. After watching the water in the water tank accumulate to a certain extent, Luo Xun waved his hand: "Release the water!" ”

A trickle of water flows into the planting boxes where the seedlings have been planted, adding a sense of vitality to the room.

Looking at the rows of planting racks that have been thoroughly processed, the eyes of Xu Mei and Song Lingling are also full of joy, this feeling of planting and cultivating by hand is really good! Although they are only small plants, the vitality they represent can be thoroughly and fully felt.

"Okay, that's it for today, let's go back and send some other vegetable seeds and plant them one after another." Luo Xun turned around and looked at the two ladies with a smile.

On the fifteenth floor, the small bedroom of Xu Mei and the three of them has also been transformed into a nursery room, and all the seedlings usually rely on this room to develop and cultivate. In addition, Luo Xun also divided about half of the little quails as public supplies for the team and let Xu Mei and them keep them on the balcony of their house - it is much more reliable to let these two girls cultivate these weak little things than to hand them over to Li Tie.

These are all counted as the team's public property, and as for Luo Xun's own 1604 and the things in each person's own ** room, they still belong to each other. Regarding the public property purchased by the otaku team this time, Luo Xun and his family contributed the most, although one of the two of them was the captain and should pay more, but everyone still clearly agreed and decided to wait for the industry to continue to expand the public industry after the income, in addition to staying to continue to expand the public industry, Luo Xun and the two of them should account for the majority of each person's share, and the others will pay differently according to their own expenses.

At this point, with Yan Fei, who was more proficient in this way before the end of the world, naturally no one would have an opinion.

Xu Mei and Song Lingling walked out of the room with happy smiles on their faces: "Then let's go buy food first, and then go back to eat happily later." ”

"Be careful on the road."

Saying goodbye to the two ladies, Luo Xun and the two returned to the sixteenth floor, and after opening the door of room 1603, the little guy who heard the voice ran to the gate happily with a giggling and laughing little man.

"Uncle uncle, the little guy just peed over there!" The little girl came up and complained, but the little guy didn't understand me at all, and didn't know that the little playmate he was carrying sold it in the first sentence.

The corners of Luo Xun's mouth twitched and looked in the direction that Xinran pointed out, and sure enough, he saw a suspicious liquid on the corner of a shelf that was gradually drying up. Although this thing can also be used as fertilizer, it can ...... I really can't get used to this stinky problem! Obviously I've taught this guy to pee in the bathroom!

Raised his hand and flicked it on the little guy's forehead, the little guy closed his eyes and took two steps back with a confused expression, and the speed of the tail swinging behind him slowed down, but he still didn't understand why he was played by Luo Xun at all.

"You're blackback! Clever blackback! It's not Erha! Where did you learn this expression? Luo Xun pointed at the dog's face that looked more and more stupid, and then came back to his senses - now is not the time to teach it to be stupid, but to tell it not to pee in the room!

Yan Fei smiled at Luo Xun and led the little guy to the metal shelf and began to count and explain the reasoning, but he was reluctant to continue to play it. How can such a lesson work for a dog whose IQ is only four or five years old at most, and who has obviously been stupid recently?

The little guy has always been very well-behaved in the original 1604, except for liking to use slippers as a dining table and occasionally hiding a few slippers, but since putting it in 1603 to be able to run around from time to time, it has somehow had such a stinky problem. Although it is not too frequent, it will come secretly every few days, which makes Luo Xun regret that it is easier to buy a to come back?

Some of the vegetables in 1603 are about to be harvested, and after the two of them checked, they sent a message to Captain Li in the barracks canteen, saying that they would be able to send a batch of vegetables over tomorrow, and they would be contacted soon.

It didn't take long for Xu Mei and the two to go home and bring the food they bought. Luo Xun gave them both a ball of lettuce - it was his own production, not a public property.

Thank you Luo Xun obviously gave Xiao Xinran a vegetable supplement for vitamins (the little girl likes lettuce like the little guy for some reason, and she is not very cold to other vegetables) "When we came back, we saw that another piece of open space under Building 2 had been dug up. ”

Luo Xun was not surprised: "It's a mutant plant again?" ”

Xu Mei shook her head: "We didn't see it clearly, but I remember that there seemed to be a lot of things planted there before, and the fence around it was quite dense, but now even the fence has been demolished." ”

Since the base encouraged everyone to start packing land and planting vegetables, the benefits and effects have not been seen, but there have been many problems.

Because of the examples of pioneers such as Luo Xun and others, the base also comes with a planting manual when selling seeds, which is printed with basic planting knowledge, and there is also an important reminder - if you want to reduce the possibility of plant mutation, it is best to use distilled clean water to plant.

But who would be like Luo Xun to go to such trouble to treat water all day and night, and use this water to grow vegetables in luxury? In order to save trouble, many people boil water once at most and use it, but even so, many people still feel that coal is a waste. The vast majority of people simply chose the most ordinary tap water, and only the group with the ability of the water system would deliberately use the purified water to cultivate the land.

Therefore, before these plants can grow and harvest, they have already begun to mutate. Of course, some of the mutant plants are edible, but they don't taste very good, but there are also some aggressive mutant plants! The seedling stage of these plants is not conspicuous, but they look different from ordinary appearances, but once their roots are firmly established and they can absorb a lot of nutrients from the soil - mutation, only overnight.

At the end of the night, all the surrounding vegetables were strangled by the mutated plants for their own nourishment, and the hideous, fang-and-claw branches swayed wildly at anyone who passed through its range, some spewing venom and attacking distant targets.

In this way, if it is not uprooted and burned completely, the place will be useless at all, and it will also cause danger to passers-by.

Therefore, nowadays, those outdoor planting places that can be seen in various communities are often dug up here and pushed there. As for those who raise vegetables at home, on the balcony? I'm sorry, I really haven't paid attention to this, anyway, Luo Xun and they don't know the situation very well.

Early the next morning, the two drove to load the vegetables, and Li Tie and others followed to help carry things. What needs to be sold this time is not only the harvest in the two houses of Luo Xun and the others, but also the vegetables in the homes of Li Tie and others. After Luo Xun determined the production mode of the team, he counted his own 1603 into the common planting area, but this time the harvest was still his own, and then it would be incorporated into the income of the entire team and distributed according to different contributions. In the same way, the crops in the other rooms will be somewhat profitable at that time.

And even now, Luo Xun decided to give Xu Mei and Song Lingling some crystal nuclei after coming back this time, after all, although it was only their own private property in this month, these two ladies did not contribute less to the usual watering and management.

Everyone got in the car and went out of the community together, and when they passed by the gate of a nearby community, they saw a group of people playing at the gate, several people hugged and rolled into a ball, rolling from the inside of the community to the sidewalk outside, and there were idlers watching the excitement around the side, pointing with a gloating expression.

"It's so busy in the morning?" Wang Duo, who loves gossip the most and endures the soul of gossip in his heart after being taught by the queen, lies on the car window and can't wait to run out to inquire about the news.

"Alright, come back in the evening and inquire about anything, be careful not to be late." Luo Xun was also curious, but they had more important things to do now.

"Uh-huh! I'll just take a look, I won't go down......" Wang Duo reluctantly put his face on the car window, making his facial features distorted, Zhang Su on the side didn't even mean to look at him, his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking at his appearance, Li Tie and the others had no doubt that he would kick Wang Duo at any time.

The car drove into the barracks and stopped at the old place at the back door of the No. 1 canteen. Because there was more harvest this time, the other party made a small trailer out and prepared to carry things after getting on the scale.

Captain Li, Luo Xun and Yan Fei stood aside chatting and watched others carry it.

"Haven't many people been growing things at home and at home lately? Do we have any food here? Luo Xun asked curiously, and turned around to inquire about the news.

Captain Li sighed: "It's not nothing, you may also know that the outside window is also responsible for the business of collecting vegetables, and many of the vegetables that can be sent here are mutated, and we don't dare to use them here now." I heard that some of the other canteens were used and tested to determine that there was no problem, but the number was not too much. ”

Not only is it not much, but it can't even catch up with the large output of those vegetables grown in the barracks and under the walls. After all, the vast majority of people grow vegetables at home in order to make a living for themselves, unless the price of vegetables soars, few people are willing to exchange them for points and crystal nuclei.

Luo Xun and the others took advantage of the fact that most of their own vegetables were normal vegetables after they were grown, so that they could find a suitable way to sell them through Guò in advance.

"Recently, there have been a lot of mutated plants in some of the homes where they grow vegetables outside, and many people in the vicinity of our community have dug holes in the planted land, which may also affect the yield." Luo Xun then brought up the matter.

Who knew that Captain Li suddenly looked stern, and whispered to the two: "Not only did there be a problem with the vegetables planted in the community, but I heard that most of the grain sown in the field last month had problems!" ”

"Huh? Problem? What the problem?! Luo Xun was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

Captain Li glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to the three of them nearby, so he said in a low voice, "Didn't it rain a few days ago?" After that, I heard that at least half of the seedlings in the field, which had been fine, began to turn yellow. At first, I thought it was a pest infestation, but who knew that when I checked it, I found that those plants were growing well, but the color had changed - they had all become mutated plants! ”

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and whispered in some surprise: "Didn't you say that the military found a way to reduce the mutation rate of plants?" ”

"Yes, I found it, but that method can only ......be used when the seedlings sprout," said Captain Li and smiled at the two, "I heard that the research society has tested it, although the color of those plants has changed, there is no problem with the composition, and there is no toxicity, let alone aggression, just a simple appearance mutation, as long as it can mature and seed in the end, it should be fine." ”

Of course, no problem, but the taste is a little unpalatable. Luo Xun nodded when he heard this, he didn't ask deeply, and even if he asked again, I was afraid that Captain Li wouldn't know the deeper news. This whole plant is yellowish in color, and it is the most common mutated rice in the last days of the previous life. The yield has not been affected, the nutrients have not been affected, but the texture and taste are not very good.

"This is today's crystal nucleus." After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the excessive amount, Captain Li handed over the prepared crystal nucleus bag to the two of them, and after counting them, Luo Xun and the two drove back to the vicinity of the work place.

"So although the cost of growing vegetables in the house is a little higher, at least it can ensure the safety of the crops." And fortunately, I specially found some wood at home, and even put these things in the cultivation room, which should ensure that the plant does not mutate during the growth period, or as little as possible. Since the beginning of spring, there has only been one spring rain in the place where the base is located, and the drizzle is so small that you don't even need an umbrella, but it is such a rain that the base has carefully cultivated and tried to avoid mutating crop mutations. It's no wonder that other people are cultivating vegetables in the open space of the community with such a high rate of mutation.

Yan Fei nodded: "Let's go back and put some solar panels and lamps at home, and keep them to replace them in case they accidentally break." ”

There is another advantage to cultivating crops at home, for example, Luo Xun and they are now planting rice, as long as they take care of it well enough, although the yield cannot catch up with the experimental field dedicated to scientific research, the yield is still very considerable. And as long as it is taken care of, it may not be necessary to change to other crops and continue to grow rice. Of course, Luo Xun still decided to wait for the autumn harvest to plant some corn or wheat, depending on the situation at the time.

The two stopped when they came to the place where the team met on the bus and on the way, and began to continue today's work after Captain Guo and others arrived.

The cultivation of the otaku team is extremely smooth, not only the crops in the family are healthy and good, but even the little quails are growing fast, and the first batch has grown up at this time, and even began to lay eggs!

Xiao Xinran lay outside the big glass tank in his house every day, staring at the little quail inside and the little quail eggs they gave birth. The little girl really wanted to catch two of them to play with her, but this thing was too fragile, how dare Xu Mei and the others? So there was no choice but to trouble the little guy to come over and play with the child, so Luo Xun and his family could see such a scene almost every day after they went home - on the fifteenth floor of Xu Mei's home and balcony, there was a glass jar that everyone had specially exchanged before, and the glass jar had the same soil, vegetables, and cabins as Luo Xun's house, and there was a group of small quails that could lay eggs.

Yu Xinran and the little guy lay side by side outside the glass jar, and squeezed a small face and a dog face tightly on the big glass jar until their faces were deformed and refused to move.

Fortunately, the quails, though relatively timid, get used to certain daily incursions - such as two voyeurs. I quickly got used to the scene. Usually eat what should be eaten, eggs that should be laid, and poop that should be pooped.
