Chapter 8 Tomatoes Don't Want
Although Gu Xi took the initiative to avoid it, Wei Heng obviously didn't mind, and he chatted with the people in the group in front of Gu Xi.
Although the instinct of planting has long been engraved into the genes of the flower planting family, Wei Heng is a novice after all, and after humbly asking the "old farmers" in the group, he looked up at Gu Xi: "Otherwise, let's choose sweet potatoes......
Sweet potatoes can be used as staple food, and can be made into many snacks with different tastes, sweet potato leaves can also be eaten as vegetables, and even sweet potato vines can be used to feed poultry and livestock, and after drying, they can also be used as firewood.
“…… Moreover, it is said that before the end of the world, there was a saying that eating sweet potato leaves regularly can also prevent cancer. Wei Heng propped his chin and asked for Gu Xi's opinion.
Gu Xi has no opinion.
Just now, Wei Heng and the people in the group used voice chat, and she listened quietly for a while, but she got some useful news.
Although she had never planted land and did not understand those crops, her use of wood-based abilities could be said to be the pinnacle of unmatched.
Gu Xi is confident that as long as she is given a live seed, no matter what variety, she can plant it!
But after planting, can you eat it? Gu Xi can't guarantee it.
In this era of all-plant mutation, plants have also become strange.
Although Gu Xi has some ideas in his heart, whether he can succeed or not has to be tested and said.
While Wei Heng submitted the information, he asked Gu Xi: "In addition to sweet potatoes, do you have anything else you want to grow?" How about cabbage and turnips? ”
Although the seeds sent by the base are generally similar, they are all carefully selected by professionals and have a relatively low coefficient of variation.
However, the coefficient of variation of plants is not immutable and will be affected by the environment at any time.
And the longer the growth cycle, the more uncontrollable this variation becomes.
Therefore, Wei Heng, like most people, is more inclined to plant some crops with a relatively short growth cycle.
"Everything." Gu Xi didn't pick, but if she could, she wanted to grow some fruit.
From the chat between Wei Heng and those pioneers in the group just now, Gu Xi learned that fruit is a very rare item now, and it is impossible to buy it outside.
If ordinary people want to eat some fruits, they can only try their luck in the wild to see if they can find some fruits with a relatively low coefficient of variation......
And Gu Xi has a little-known hobby, that is, he especially likes to eat fruits. So in the past, the most important thing in her space was all kinds of fruits...... As well, the seeds of fruits.
But now that her ability is in trouble, she is pitifully weak, at most at the level of level three, and even the space that was opened up before is gone.
If she wants to carve out space again, she must at least wait until her ability recovers to level 7 or higher.
I don't know if the materials she collected before can be retrieved after reopening the space?
Wei Heng was very intimate, and deliberately turned the light screen in front of her, so that she could choose it after looking carefully.
But after Gu Xi read it, he regretted to find that none of the seeds distributed by the base were fruits.
In the end, she reluctantly chose a tomato.
……
Early the next morning, the helicopters belonging to the central base flew away.
For the next two days, the camp was also calm, and there was no more malignant mutiny. But Wei Heng told her that people from the army had actually come.
After the army has been scrupulously screened again and again, the danger has now been basically ruled out, and the camp will soon be unsealed.
And that night, the supplies from the Nancheng base finally arrived.
Wei Heng sent her personal terminal over as soon as possible, and tried his best to show his aesthetics: "How is it?" I picked this for you, right? ”
Gu Xi looked at the pink childlike watch in front of him and was silent: "......"
Wei Heng realized that something was wrong, he scratched his head curtly, and hesitated: "Gu Xi, you, don't you like it?" "No, didn't Uncle Zhou say that his little niece likes this pink cat head the most?
“…… Thank you. Gu Xi was silent for a while, and said with a wooden face: "I like it very much." ”
Then, Wei Heng was pushed out of the house with an inexplicable face.
Gu Xi closed the door, hung her head slightly, and after half a ring, she opened her personal terminal.
She needed to understand the world thirty years from now as soon as possible.
Gu Xi fiddled around for a while and found that this thing looked very like that, but in fact, it was not a real brain system.
At least, there is a big difference from the intellectual brain system proposed by Dr. Qi 30 years ago, and many of the functions originally envisioned have not been realized......
After thinking about it, she clicked on the search bar, but this kind of personal terminal is the basic model distributed by the base for pioneers, and many functions are not open, and the information that can be found is very limited, and most of them are related to planting......
Gu Xi stared at the screen for a while, then decisively exited the search bar, opened the official APP that came with the terminal, and then clicked on the forum section inside......
At this moment, a small box suddenly popped up at the bottom right of the light screen - it was a message from Wei Heng to add friends on the forum.
Gu Xi frowned slightly, feeling a little strange, she didn't register a forum account, she just logged in to the forum as a tourist, so how did Wei Heng find her accurately?
Gu Xi quickly browsed the news on the forum, passed Wei Heng's friend application, and asked him about this question very sincerely.
Pioneer Xiao Wei: Select someone nearby and check the ID number.
Gu Xi is not stupid, he understood it in an instant.
The long list of numbers followed by her identity as a tourist, the first few digits should represent the region, the middle few digits are the camp numbers, and the last long list of numbers is the time when she first logged in to the forum.
Their camp has just been established, and there are not many members, and she is probably the only one who has only gotten a personal terminal today......
No wonder as soon as she went online, Wei Heng came to find her.
After a night of visiting the forum, Gu Xi finally had a rough understanding of the world thirty years later.
Early the next morning, as soon as she washed her face with cold water, Wei Heng took a bowl of black vegetable paste and came over excitedly: "Gu Xi, the camp will be unsealed tomorrow, you ......"
Wei Heng was halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He looked up at Gu Xi very seriously, "You don't seem to be surprised at all......
Gu Xi raised his hand and said calmly: "At five o'clock in the morning, the camp will post the news of unsealing on the forum......
Wei Heng frowned slightly, and looked around her up and down, left and right: "Gu Xi, shouldn't you have slept all night?" "I really can't see it, this is still an Internet addict girl?
Internet addict girl Gu Xiaoxi: No, I just want to know more about the world.
An hour later, with the land contract that had just arrived, Gu Xi followed Wei Heng to the agricultural technology station in the camp to collect crop seeds and farming machinery.
By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of people lined up in front of the agricultural technology station.
The two of them followed the back of the team slowly, and Wei Heng, who was walking in front, suddenly thought of something, paused in his steps, turned around and said, "Gu Xi, you just came out of the ruins, there should be no money in your account, right?" We have to get a loan first......"
Gu Xi frowned: "Aren't those seeds distributed by the base for free?" "She saw this on the official forum last night.
Wei Heng explained: "Although the seeds are distributed free of charge by the base, the number and type of free seeds that everyone can receive are regulated, and on that day, didn't I help you pick a few more......
Gu Xi: "? ”
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wei Heng glanced at her and said, "Originally, I thought that the balance in my account should be enough......
"But this is not the first time I have come out to open up wasteland and farm, so when I picked seeds that day, I accidentally picked some more......" Wei Heng's voice became lower and lower.
To be honest, it was the first time he was worried about money.
When he was in the special service team before, the state provided food and shelter, and he had no place to spend money, and the allowances were sent to the families of those comrades who had died.
Half a year ago, after that incident, he voluntarily left the special service team, but most of the retirement money was spent on ability suppressants......
So much so that now some are shy.
Fortunately, the state is now vigorously supporting agriculture and planting, and as long as you take the land contract, you can take out a loan.
Moreover, Gu Xi is still a newcomer who has just returned to the base from the ruins area, and can enjoy an interest-free loan for three years......
Wei Heng comforted her: "Gu Xi, you really don't have to worry about the money, you really don't have to pay it back, after we grow the grain, we can also use the grain to repay this part of the loan......
After Gu Xi listened, he only asked him with a wooden face: "So, in addition to those seeds distributed by the base for free, how much money is missing?" ”
Wei Heng whispered a number.
Gu Xi: Destroy, no tomatoes!
