Chapter 244: The Joy of the Harvest

"Wow! Lots of sweet potatoes! ”

Wenwen followed Wang Jin and got out of the car, and when she saw this harvest scene, she opened her mouth in surprise, ran to the field with joy, and screamed with sweet potatoes.

"Be careful of wrestling." Seeing this harvest scene, Wang Jin's heart was also full of joy, and after arranging for a few soldiers to take care of Wenwen, he walked left and right to observe.

"Lord of the Castle!" After receiving the notice, Du Yuyan and Zhang Zhouming rushed over together to explain the situation in the planting area to Wang Jin.

"Lord of the city, after our statistics, the sweet potato production in the planting area is not expected, the production capacity per mu reaches about 2,000 kilograms, and the entire planting area of 5,800 acres of land can provide us with 12,000 tons of sweet potatoes."

Zhang Zhouming took a notebook and reported the yield of sweet potatoes that Wang Jin cared about, which was not different from the original expectation.

"However, Lord City, although we have had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, because the population of the base has more than doubled, our food is still not self-sufficient, and we need to continue to buy it from the underground base."

Du Yuyan continued, Wang Jin's face darkened when he heard this, and most of his original joy disappeared, but this is a happy trouble, after all, the benefit of population increase is greater.

In the past two months, the population of Wang Jin's Lishan base has increased several times.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the mutants, the population of the base exceeded the 200,000 mark more than half a month ago.

Up to now, the exact population of the entire base has reached 220,000.

It was expected that the food produced in the growing areas could easily meet the consumption of 100,000 survivors, but now the population is still a little short of food, and more food needs to be obtained from other sources.

For the sake of the development of the Zerg, this is also a helpless thing, but with so many human resources, Wang Jin is not afraid of lack of food.

As long as he finds suitable fertile land and cultivates more planting areas, Wang Jin will not have to worry about food.

"Good job Zhang Zhouming, do you remember the original agreement, you took good care of the planting area, I officially appoint you now, you are the highest person in charge of this planting area, this second-level crystal nucleus is also rewarded to you, I hope you can work harder after becoming a mutant!"

Wang Jin patted Zhang Zhouming on the shoulder, took out a sparkling second-level crystal nucleus from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Zhouming.

"Ahh Yes! When Zhang Zhouming heard Wang Jin's words, he saw the shining crystal nucleus, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at all this in disbelief.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you thank the city lord."

Du Yuyan saw that Zhang Zhouming was stunned at this time, secretly stepped on him, and finally woke him up, and hurriedly took the crystal nucleus, his hands trembled with excitement.

This is a second-level crystal nucleus that can make ordinary people become mutants, as long as they take it, they will go to the next level in the future, completely break away from ordinary survivors, and become a human being.

"Thank you for the reward from the city lord, Zhou Ming will serve the city lord in the future, and he will never give up."

Zhang Zhouming half-knelt on the ground, ignoring the mud on his pants, and was loyal to Wang Jin with a respectful and excited face.

"Keep up the good work! In the future, you can also follow Du Yuyan to participate! ”

Wang Jin nodded and asked him to participate in the high-level meeting, which could be regarded as a recognition of Zhang Zhouming and included him in the high-level of the base.

"Lord Xie, I will definitely work hard."

Zhang Zhouming trembled with excitement, becoming a member of the high-level of the Lishan base is the dream of more than 200,000 survivors of the base.

Unexpectedly, he was born as an ordinary survivor, and after a few months of hard work, he can now realize his dream and become a high-level leader of the Lishan base below a few people and above 200,000 people, Zhang Zhouming is even wondering if he is dreaming now.

However, Wang Jin's words were still ringing in his ears, and the light emitted by the second-level crystal nucleus in his hand was reminding him that this was not a dream, he was the elder who was Wang Jin's side before, after Murong Jun, the second outsider became a high-level example of the base.

"Get up, the false salute has been done, take me to continue to observe the planting area!"

Wang Jin shook his head and continued to inspect the planting area along the field path, Du Yuyan also helped Zhang Zhouming up, kept up with Wang Jin's pace, and answered all kinds of questions for Wang Jin.

Not long after Wang Jin's inspection, several more cars drove into the planting area, all of which were He Xin and Li Yue who received Wang Jin's order, and there was also a figure that should not have appeared, Jiang Shishi, I don't know why she ran over.

"Mom!" Wenwen, who was playing in the field covered in mud, pounced, and her little body jumped into He Xin's arms.

Fortunately, Li Yue, who was beside him, was quick and grabbed the little radish head in the air, otherwise He Xin's clothes would have been dirty.

"You're here." Wang Jin said hello to He Xin and the others, turned his head to look at Jiang Shishi, who was full of interest, and frowned: "What are you doing here, this planting area is not in the scope of the transaction between the two parties, and you don't need to supervise it." ”

"Come and see! You're still afraid that I won't be able to spy on the information. ”

Jiang Shishi's head was raised, and when she saw that Wang Jin didn't give her a good face, her pretty face also darkened, and she deliberately provoked Wang Jin.

"Wang Jin!" He Xin shook her head and motioned to Wang Jin not to investigate, Jiang Shishi has often played in the base in the past few months, and her relationship with the high-level of the base has also become much more familiar.

"Humph!"

Wang Jin didn't want to be entangled here, and there were no secrets in the planting area, so Jiang Shishi followed and took everyone to inspect the planting area.

The newcomer He Xin and others were also amazed by the harvest in the planting area, and the patches of sweet potatoes were dug up and piled up together to become a hill, and thousands of farmers were busy in the fields, digging more sweet potatoes, a picture of harvest joy.

"The yield of this sweet potato is really high, but unfortunately we can't grow it in our underground base."

Jiang Shishi sighed with envy, surprised by the amazing yield of sweet potatoes, which is worthy of being one of the best foods to survive the famine.

"Your underground base is not bad, the mushroom harvest time is very short, and the overall yield is not worse than that of sweet potatoes."

Du Yuyan on the side explained with a smile, but his face was very proud, after all, this planting area also has his credit, and others praise him naturally happy.

Wang Jin inspected the planting area and then visited the fish ponds and breeding farms near the planting area.

I saw that in dozens of fish ponds, there are also farmers here in several fish ponds to release water to catch fish, three or four months of breeding time, these mutated fish grow very fast, already one to two feet long, when it is time to fish.

Wenwen's little girl saw that it was interesting, and couldn't help but run to the fish pond where the water was released, catch the fish with the farmers, and track the fat fish running around, even if they were splashed in muddy water, they also happily left a series of crisp laughter, making Wang Jin seem to see his childhood.

Compared to the fish ponds, the farms are much noisier, full of animal barking and strange smells.

But for those who are accustomed to the end times, they have never smelled any stinking corpses, and these smells are nothing, and even a few women in the team can ignore them.

In the fence of the farm, pigs, cattle and sheep caught from the wild grow here, enjoy the delicious fresh grass provided by the staff, do not have to worry about carnivorous hunting, and stretch out their hands every day.

However, Wang Jin did not slaughter them, but stayed to breed and give birth to more cubs.

After all, the number of animals caught in the wild is not very large, and if you want to increase the number of farms, you can't slaughter them in large quantities.

Only after one or two generations of breeding, when there is a sufficient number, will Wang Jin slaughter a large number of them to provide meat for the base.

Now the farms are slaughtering chickens and ducks, first of all, the hatching rate is high, there are many cubs, and secondly, they can be slaughtered in a few months after they grow up, and like fish, they are the main source of meat for the base.
