002 A Day in the Farm (Part II)
Thankfully, there is Ayu here. Ayu is a square-headed man, who looks extensive, belongs to the farmer's generation, focuses on practicality, only has agricultural management and auxiliary household functions, and has no human companionship function. Ilan heard that high-end machine people can interact with the owner, and even change into anthropomorphic physiological skin in appearance. Ah You is obviously a primitive machine, and his body is a layer of metallic skin with a silver glow.
Ayou is a good helper, when Ilan inspects the field, he encounters a place that needs attention, let Ayou record it in the planting log of the system, and when it comes to loosening the soil, watering and applying nutrients or sowing and harvesting, Ayou will also remind that it has an intelligent planting system implanted in the chip, which feeds back the actual growth of crops to the system, and when the conditions are ripe, the corresponding agricultural machinery will be automatically triggered, so Ilan does not need to work in the field.
A true master grower will use his experience to modify the standard procedures set according to the type of crop, the yield requirements, and some climatic conditions. No matter how perfect the system is, no matter how meticulous and thoughtful the design plan is, it is impossible to include all the contingency factors, and then it is necessary to use people to respond. However, Ilan does not have this ability, and she fully trusts Ayu's planting system. If it weren't for the fact that she insisted on walking around every day without fear of hardship or tiredness, Ayou only needed to track the growth of crops at the required time node in accordance with the planting process set by the system, and there was no need for Ayou to go to the field to walk around every day, it can be said that Yilan dragged Ayou down.
Yilan set aside two or three acres of land not far from her residence to make a solid field, which is also her vegetable garden. She plans to plant something else next year, so she tried to plant a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, and even some fruits, first accumulate some experience, and the things grown can also be eaten by herself, and she can't get used to eating nutrients all day long.
Although the nutrients are comprehensive, they can fully meet the energy intake needs of human beings, and there are many flavors to choose from, but such a tube is too light and convenient to swallow, but the stomach is not satisfied, and Yilan would rather cook and eat it by himself. Rice is available here, of course, the official name is not called rice, and there are quite a few varieties, all of which belong to millet, which is equivalent to the grass plants on the earth. Some other vegetables and fruits also have distant relatives that look like plants on earth.
When Ilan first took the agronomy course on the Star Network, she found that although the plants here had changed, the bottom was still faintly similar to the earth, and she always secretly wondered in her heart, maybe this place had something to do with the earth? When I saw more fruits and vegetables, the turmoil in my heart calmed down. But no, there are still people who look similar to each other who can't be beaten by the eight poles of Tiannan and Haibei, maybe the face is just that, and everyone is just fine-tuning within the framework. It's the same with plants, and what can grow may be within a fixed number, and the alien time and space or something will be slightly adjusted. Ilan has let go of the entanglement of the appearance of the plants, and she is more concerned about how to make them grow happily, so that she can live a prosperous life. At this time, it was close to noon, and she found three fist-sized gourds in the vegetable garden, ready to go back and fry them.
Back at the residence, the small single room on the left side of the first floor is the kitchen, which is not very useful in these days, at most it is a place to store all kinds of nutrients. Because there are few people who cook, cooking is too troublesome, and there is time to do something else, of course, it is not completely nothing, there are still people who are willing to cook by themselves, but that is called a special hobby or experience life. Yilan can't do it, since he has the memories of his previous life, no matter how troublesome he is, he can't change his heart to really eat.
The kitchen is small, and the ventilation and exhaust function is still there, so she picked up a table and bought some heatable appliances from Star Online to use as pots and pans. Real pots are also sold, but she can't afford them. Once the demand for this product is reduced, there are only two ways to go, either to simply stop production, or to make it extremely delicate and sell it as a work of art at a sky-high price. The pot of the Alliance era is a high-end product, it is to meet the culinary accomplishment of a very small number of elegant people, and it is not expensive enough to reflect its value.
So Ilan only sighed at the price of a pot, and then frowned and wandered around the star network, taking out the strength of cooking noodles in the university dormitory in his previous life, and then opening up his thoughts, in fact, if the beaker in the chemistry class was not used to make a real yàn at the beginning, buy it home and steam an egg custard across the water, although the psychological feeling is a little weird, the function is completely up to standard. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly became enlightened, and found some containers that were close to the people, and it was a little more difficult, but in the end, I bought the kitchen and bought some rice oil, no matter what the taste was, the Five Organs Temple was comforted. There is also a convenience here in Yilan, Moss is an agricultural planet, the basic ingredients are enough, and it also saves an interstellar transportation fee. Even if it is a nutrient, there are agricultural products here in the entrusted processing factory, and they are also sold to the farmers on the planet at a friendly price.
Yilan made a fish, the fish is produced by a local fishing village, and then fried a pot of gourd melon, setting aside half of it to eat at night and half at noon. After eating, I cleaned up, beckoned Ayu over, checked the planting system, and confirmed that there were no important tasks for tomorrow, and went upstairs.
Next to the bedroom on the second floor was a guest room, which she never used. The other is a study, which is connected to a balcony, and she usually reads on the star network in it. Yilan was more introverted in her last life, she was familiar with the earth's information network for a long time, but it seems that she was out of touch early, she didn't take selfies, didn't push travelogues, didn't open up her circle of friends, let alone shook strangers, she only did three things on the Internet: watching the news, sending emails, shopping, chatting is rare, and she never does it on this blog or that spectrum to express her feelings. This habit has also affected her activities on the Star Network at the moment, which is boring and fixed, she usually goes around the Moss forum to see what local news is there, if she wants to buy something, she goes to the Star Hypermarket, and then goes to the Star Network class to read agricultural knowledge.
The Star Network Classroom is a basic education courseware developed for the citizens of the whole Union, including astronomy, history and geography. This is what Ilan learned in the orphanage, and he can also test his results on the Star Net, and only after passing the test can he be eligible to apply to the government to engage in farm management. After coming to Moss, the knowledge is still there, but I always feel empty, so I still insist on watching it a few more times. Even if you don't read agricultural courses, other courses such as interstellar history, the structure of the universe, and linguistics are good, but unfortunately Ilan has a hard time understanding it.
There is no planet called Earth in the Alliance, and this year is the year 38795 of the Alliance's Unified Calendar Ephemeris, the second year of Elan's journey from Aegean to Moss, she can't find her hometown in her previous life at all, but she knows one thing very well, whether her Earth experience is a dream or a real experience, and now it is in vain. One morning when she was seventeen years old, she suddenly carried the memories of a lifetime on earth, from childhood to adulthood, from birth to death, there was family and warmth, which made her often nostalgic, emotional, and regretful, and made her involuntarily compare and lose, but she still habitually wanted to live, even if there was only one person, even if it was extremely lonely, she still respected the instinct to survive. Of course, she is not a Destiny Theorist, and she will not think that she is a great task from heaven to conquer the alliance because she is a little special, she just wants to live a good life.
When the sky was dark, Ilan withdrew from the star net, and after dinner, she said good night to Ayu, and she was ready to rest. It was the hardest time of her day, she had nothing to do but she didn't feel sleepy, so she checked her account balance, calculated her expenses, and thought about where she would go after three years of the lease, and then fell asleep in a daze.
And so the day ended.
