Chapter 21: This Corn Is Big!

Ignoring the old handsome guy's, after symbolically paying three baskets (straw baskets can be imagined as smaller buckets with lids) and taking a small sign of Daredevil's dung as a tax, the carriage set off again and headed for Yaoshan Farm Town, which was surrounded by countless strange plants behind the outpost

Old Locke glanced at John before leaving, and told John that if he had something, he would let people go to the bar to find him, looking at his eyes that hated Old Locke, maybe the corn wine in Old Locke's mouth was more important than his life~

The carriage moved slowly along a dilapidated highway, and the road in disrepair was littered with traces of stone and wax-like adhesives~

Xiao Qiang finally didn't have to worry about being afraid of what non-humans would pop up somewhere, but had an inexplicable yearning for the human customs of this wasteland.

Zhuang Zhuang screamed hungry several times, but looking at his round stomach, he didn't look like he was hungry~ I'm afraid it was the bursts of incense wafting from the farmland on both sides that hooked out this guy's gluttony.

Xiao Qiang didn't want to treat his heroes badly, and Xiao Qiang also saw the so-called one-ear corn for the first time, which was like a freshly broken corn planted in the ground!

The corn here does not have a stalk, and what grows out of the ground is a corn wrapped in leaves.

The long corn silk exuded a rich sweet smell of corn, Zhuang Zhuang almost kept his saliva and walked all the way, Xiao Qiang simply exchanged a pair of broken armor for a big corn more than half a person high, and let Zhuang Zhuang hold and gnaw in Old Locke's ghostly expression!

"Why are your corns spaced so apart! There is enough land in the middle to plant three more plants! ”

Looking at the lush patches of corn, Xiao Qiang still found that these corns seemed to grow well, but one was actually nearly 5 meters apart!

"If it's not so far away, not a single plant can survive~" Old Locke sighed and said,

Sure enough, because of the problem of nutrients, this caused a lot of waste of land, and it seemed that a lot of land was planted, but when it was really harvested, there was no feeling that the grain was piled up!

"Don't you also use manure? I see a lot of people here, how can there be not enough fertilizer. ”

"This is the corn fed with manure, and five meters is already the closest distance, which highlights the importance of high-grade fertilizer!

Only a basket of fertilizer made from Daredevil feces can increase the planting density of 50 acres of land to 1.5 meters per plant, and harvest 2 seasons a year.

And each plant will be an adult size, not this kind of corn that is only half a tall corn! Ordinary fertilizer only takes more than 30 plants per acre, and the feces of high-level monsters can increase the yield by more than 10 times! That's the yield of one acre! ”

Old Ruoke pointed to a loose cornfield and said! Xiao Qiang calculated an account, 30 plants per mu, Xiao Qiang weighed it, there were almost more than 30 catties, and only one fruit had 20 catties!

The yield of 300 kilograms per mu is calculated according to the normal amount of food of adults in a day, and the average daily consumption of a family of three is three kilograms, and one acre of land is only enough for a family to support 3 months, and if you want to survive a year, you must have at least 4 acres of land.

This is still data, and there can be no disaster, if there is no oil and water staple food to eat more, it seems that this yield is really low to home, compared with his side of the yield of a ton per mu at every turn, hey~ It's all tears~

No wonder it's so expensive, a set of cuirasses can only be exchanged for one plant, although in Xiao Qiang's eyes, it's all rubbish~

"That means that a family must have at least 6 acres of land to barely support a family!"

Xiao Qiang specially added two acres of land, but his words still made Old Locke not know how to help Xiao Qiang understand common sense! Anya, who had been silent next to her, took Old Locke's whip and helped this wasteland novice continue to improve his knowledge.

"You take it for granted, this is a wasteland, even if it is a green safe zone, there is never a shortage of mutated creatures, just take the most harmful hard-skinned wild boar can casually turn two acres of corn fields into a disaster site without harvest.

This kind of thing happens almost every year, the harvest season is the most frequent, if you can kill the wild boar there is a little compensation, but often before we arrive the wild boar has escaped without a trace, this is also the most tired time for the safety supervision team.

Then there is the trade, people can't just eat corn, we have to trade with other towns in exchange for other daily necessities, supplementary food, salt, these have to be counted.

Finally, the tax, the tax here is as high as 4 percent, and the annual harvest will be handed over to 4 percent regardless of whether it is good or bad, of which our safety supervision team accounts for 2 percent, and the alliance will take 2 percent!

This is not counting the input of fertilizer, manpower consumption, how much do you think you can have left for your own food! ”

Anya's voice is very good, but what she said makes people unhappy, he can't calculate, he feels that even if 20 acres of this planting method is not enough, he is really not suitable for being a farmer~

Walking through the sparse cornfields, Xiao Qiang could see a ruined town in the distance, the whole town was built under a hillside, the tallest building was only three stories or was built before the war, and the two-storey and bungalow huts were the mainstream here.

Patches are everywhere in every house! There are those made of wood, some of them are scrap metal, and some of them are simply nailed to the wall and pulled down by animal leather.

In the small courtyard behind the house, you can occasionally see the leisurely figure of the two-headed cow, in the wasteland, the two-headed cow is the only large creature that can be raised, the animals before the war are rare, I have seen chickens in the game before, but I have not seen them here for the time being.

For Xiao Qiang and his entourage, the sudden appearance on the streets of the town caused quite a stir! Curious children followed the carriage to peek through the cracks to see what was loaded.

A cart full of high-pitched goods whetted people's appetites, and even the mutant coolies who pulled the carts should not be cheaper, and in their impression, those who could afford to raise mutant coolies were big shots, and they could only see them in the annual caravan trade.

But it was such a "luxurious" configuration, and they actually saw a familiar figure on the carriage seat, which soon plunged the farm town, which was already lacking in entertainment projects, into all kinds of gossip, and its spread speed was much faster than Xiao Qiang's carriage!

When Xiao Qiang walked through the entire unplanned town and came to a wooden house in the innermost part of the town, a woman in a faded leather coat jumped on the carriage seat and snatched Ma Rui from the seat before the carriage could stop!

The dazzling action of the whole process made Xiao Qiang grow his mouth!

"Uh...... That's Ma Rui's mother, you just call her Zhao Jie, she is a cold-hearted woman, don't take it to heart. Don't call her aunt, or you'll be responsible for the consequences. ”

Old Locke stood aside awkwardly, not knowing what to say, no wonder this girl has such good skills, and a good old mother is better than any teacher. But at this time, Li Ting, who rushed into the house with Ma Rui in her arms, suddenly rushed out again, allowing Xiao Qiang to see what it means to be a Hedong lion's roar: "Locke!" You roll in for me!! ”

The young old Locke actually shuddered in the roar of Ma Rui's mother, and obediently followed in, next to Anya's eyes looked at the sky as if he didn't see anything, Xiao Qiang's careful liver kept trembling, are the women of the wasteland so domineering~

Ma Rui's mother's roar almost overturned the house, Xiao Qiang covered his arrhythmic heart and asked Zhuang Zhuang to park the car next to the house, Anya took the initiative to ask Ying to stay and help him look at things, and he didn't even have the courage to go in.

Xiao Qiang gritted his teeth, uncovered the carriage and carried a basket of night demon dung, saying that it was valuable, so use this as a door-to-door salute.

He also wants to thank the one-eyed dragon for loading all the dung~ Take Yoneda Gong as a gift to the door, that is, the wasteland can do it!

Carrying the straw basket that no longer smelled carefully, I walked into Ma Rui's house, and it could be seen that the hostess here took great care of the place, the house was spotlessly cleaned, and the furniture was slightly old.

There were only a few cabinets and a square table in the center, four matching stools that had been patched, and a few small homemade square stools, which were beautifully hung but had no bulbs, which were supposed to be decorative.

As for the lighting, Xiao Qiang didn't find anything like a flashlight or kerosene lamp for the time being, quite an ancient style of sunrise and sunset~

Ma Rui's mother's roar came out of a small room, Xiao Qiang was nervous, how could he still be outside the door, and secretly looked in to see Ma Rui lying on a wooden bed, life is better than death, beaten!

"You stinky girl! Do you know how worried I have been for the past two days? Hunting is 100 kilometers away! The zipline is what you can use! I didn't bring all the equipment, and I didn't have enough supplies! Also this sick and dying back! How don't you die outside!! ”

"Aren't I coming back~ Oops~ Mom, you tap! The injury is not healed yet."

Ma Rui's mother scolded while whipping Ma Rui's ass with a wooden stick! Ma Rui pitifully hugged the pillow. When Ma Rui's mother heard that the wound was not healed, the stick did not dare to fall, but she turned her eyes to the old Ruoke who was smiling bitterly on the side!

"Dead old man, Xiaorui is your niece, do you just look at the child like this, even tell her about the high-altitude cableway! I almost lost her!! ”

Old Locke, this is really lying down~ If they hadn't run into this girl, I'm afraid you really wouldn't be able to see her~

Of course, Xiao Qiang can only say this in his heart, and he still knows that he can't reason with his mother who has lost his mind~

Ma Rui's mother looked at the old Locke who didn't answer the phone angrily, and caught a glimpse of Xiao Qiang who was probing his brain at the door!

Now there is a new object to vent to, and the Malaysian Golden Knife rushes forward! Xiao Qiang saw that Ma Rui's mother was menacing, and he couldn't let her open her mouth, so he took the initiative to meet and handed the straw basket to Ma Rui's mother and said loudly:

"Thank you very much for taking care of Marley all the way! The first time we meet, we don't pay respect! Xiao Qiang's words stunned a room of people! Even Ma Rui's mother, who was about to break out, was stunned on the spot!

"This kid talks a lot~" Old Locke said with emotion, but Ma Rui's mother, who was standing in front of Xiao Qiang, flashed a trace of strangeness in her eyes, and snatched the grass basket after a little distraction, and didn't care about the stinking sky, and opened it to reveal surprise instantly! But the next moment, his face became even more stinky than just now!!

"Dead girl! You actually ran to the Howling Valley!!! ”
