Chapter 30: Life on the Farm
Whether the Confusing Star Society will include the Blue Butterfly armor in the galaxy level for the first time still needs to be confirmed by the nine councilors, and it will take a day or two at the earliest.
This is an extremely tense time, assuming that the Blue Butterfly Armor does get the galactic level, it will rank second in the history of the galaxy! Second only to the legendary master Mensa's Moon Tiger armor.
At this time, far away on the earth, Ye Chuan had already come to Shilixiang Farm outside the city, looking at the high concrete wall in the distance, Ye Chuan was quite excited.
"Brother, good body, I'm tired of running all the way, fifth brother, but you still don't blush and your heart doesn't beat, it seems that you usually don't exercise less, right?" Xin Lao Wu patted Ye Chuan's shoulder and asked.
Ye Chuan didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he changed the topic and said: "Actually, I'm also quite tired, I'm just embarrassed to say it, by the way, Fifth Brother, I see that when you were about to leave at the end of the break, you left some food on the ground, what is the reason for this?" ”
Xin Lao Wu said: "It's left for the mutant hound, as soon as we leave, the mutant hound will go to eat the food, and when we turn around, we will remember our kindness to him, people who survive in the wild must learn to be grateful, all mutant beasts want to eat us, only mutant hounds don't eat, and sometimes they will take the initiative to protect, which is difficult." ”
"Not only our farm, but all farms in the wild are like this, they are very respectful of mutant hounds, and if they have something to eat, they will give them some, I heard that Zhuangzi, who hunts fish on the beach, is also like this to mutant dolphins."
Ye Chuan nodded, humans and mutant beasts were originally the relationship between food and prey, and the 6 dogs, dolphins in the sea, were the only remaining friends of humans, Ye Chuan raised his hands in favor of Xin Lao Wu's approach.
"We're back, open the door!" Da Liu shouted loudly, and with his voice, the raindrops the size of beans also began to drip, and Ye Chuan and the others were lucky to return to the farm before the rain.
Boom~
The soldiers of the farmstead lifted the heavy alloy door with iron cables.
Today's farms are built like fortresses, with layers of thistles on the outside to prevent mutant beasts from approaching, the city gates are huge and heavy, requiring four warriors to wear genetic armor before they can be lifted up with a winch, and the city walls are covered with smooth and strong ceramic pieces to prevent mutant beasts from climbing up.
All this is for survival, and only in this way can we preserve the hard-won gains from farming.
With the opening of the city gate, the scene of the farm made Ye Chuan's eyes shine, one hundred and fifty acres of watered terraced fields were stacked on top of each other, there were children playing on the streets paved with muck, although the townhouses were not big, but each one had plenty of sunlight, and the children grew up in this sunlight, unlike the children in the city, which were low and gloomy as far as the eye could see.
Boom~
As the group entered the farmstead, the thick gates closed to cut it off from the outside world.
Ye Chuan's eyesight was extraordinary, and the moment the city gate was closed, he seemed to see the mutant hound again, but unfortunately the distance was far away, and it was raining again, and Ye Chuan was not sure.
There were very few visitors in the Zhuangzi, and the children mischievously surrounded Ye Chuan, while the women watched from afar.
Untied his backpack and took out the candy to distribute to these children, Uncle Li prepared high-grade milk candy for Ye Chuan, and Ye Chuan himself still likes to eat fruit hard candy.
Children can rarely see such high-end candy, hold it in the palm of the hand and smell it with your nose, reluctant to open the colorful wrapper, even if there are children who can't stand the ** candy open, but only lick it gently with the tongue, the cream fragrance is attractive, and the child's little face opens the sweet dimple.
It was dark and it was raining outside, so Ye Chuan simply took two turns around the farm and came to Xue Kaitai's house.
The farm brothers lived in two-story houses, most of them were families crammed into one room, cooking was in the corridor outside, and the roof was used to grow vegetables and spices.
Although the living conditions are average, it is still much better than in the crowded city, at least you can see the sun and green through the windows, and there is a small yard in front of the house, and living in the city often makes people feel depressed and breathless.
Xue Kaitai is the owner of the farm, so he lives the most comfortable, a small courtyard, four rooms up and down, two of which are the offices of the farm, and the other two are Xue Kaitai's residences, and the bungalow in the outer yard is the warehouse of the farm, storing some necessary materials, Ye Chuan lives with him tonight.
The fifth brother's wife was already preparing dinner in advance, a woman in her thirties, although she was not beautiful, but she was sincere and simple, speaking quietly and stingily, with a northern accent, a man and a woman and two children hid behind their mother like fart, smelling the fish in the pot and drooling greedily.
"There's fish to eat?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile, and at the same time distributed the candy that had been prepared a long time ago to the two children of the fifth brother.
The two children took the candy and looked at their mother excitedly, until the mother nodded, the two of them peeled off a milk candy, and the mother used a knife to divide it into two, each of them divided a small piece, and the rest of the milk candy was honestly handed over to the mother for safekeeping.
Xin Lao Wu said proudly: "There are not only fish, but also shrimp and shellfish tonight, our farm and a fishing village by the sea are allies, every harvest season will sell them some white rice at a low price, and they will provide us with some catch seafood, it can be regarded as helping each other, the land of their farm is saline-alkali land, and we can't grow rice, and we are not near the sea here." ”
"Knowing that you were coming, the owner greeted them, this is the catch they sent this afternoon, it is fresh."
Ye Chuan nodded, fish and shellfish are more expensive luxuries than mutton these days, after all, the beasts in the sea are much more fierce than those in the 6th place.
People can survive in 6 places, but they can't be in the sea, and if they encounter mutant beasts on 6 places, they can at least fight with them, and if they meet a mutant shark in the sea, they can only ask for more blessings.
Therefore, fishing farms are a more dangerous livelihood than farms, and the fish that are hard to get are perishable, and it is normal for the price of aquatic products to be extremely high nowadays.
As for the freshwater fish in the rivers and lakes, those that can be caught have long been caught, and the rest are also harassed by aquatic mutant beasts, which is difficult to obtain.
The fifth brother's wife knew that Ye Chuan was from the north, so she made a northern-style fried fish, steamed some shellfish in a large pot, and ate it with sauce and vinegar.
At Ye Chuan's repeated insistence, he divided the fish heads for the two of them, added a little shellfish, and the two children each served a bowl of rice, hiding in the corner of the yard and eating it happily.
"It seems that life on the farm is not easy." Ye Chuan looked at the two children who were happily eating fish and sighed.
Among the people sitting with him was the farmer's accountant, an old man named Huang Chuanjia, Lao Huang said: "The main reason is that the cost is too high, there are 130 farmers in the farm, but the paddy field is only 150 acres, according to the reason, our output is not bad, each mu can produce 1,600 kilograms of white rice per year, and every household can still guarantee that there is rice to eat." ”
"But after all, we are in the wild, people are constantly injured or even killed, medical expenses, and settlement expenses must always be paid, otherwise who can farm in Zhuangzi with peace of mind? There is also the cost of armored weapons, the cost of maintaining the city walls, it costs money. ”
"After removing this expense, I can only eat black potatoes, white rice once a week or so, and some meat during the New Year's holidays."
ps: It's really Jiu'er's good brothers! Chapter 29 was put into the work by Jiu'er in a daze, and in just twenty minutes, several messages were received, prompting Jiu'er to make a mistake. Jiu'er doesn't know what to say, only to work more seriously and harder in the future, this friendship really dare not live up.
