Chapter 14: Where Did the Sweet Potatoes Go?
There were still a lot of moths and butterflies in this forest, and they didn't need Gu Xi to make a move, and soon, Qin Yi caught a large bunch by himself.
Estimating that it was enough, the two of them returned the way they came.
Wei Heng is a diligent person, with quick hands and feet, and when they go back, more than half of Gu Xi's 100 acres of wasteland have been cleared.
And Qin Shi, who had a cold face, stood in the cleaned ground, using his ability to strangle the roots of those plants deep underground.
Qin Yi glanced at it, handed over those moths and butterflies to Gu Xi, and he ran back to the other side of the stream in a hurry and brought watermelon seeds.
Hearing that there was also a watermelon, Wei Heng's eyes were straight with envy.
He jumped down from the farm machine and asked the two wood-based adepts present, "Which one shall we plant first?" ”
"Watermelon." Gu Xi and Qin Yi said in unison without hesitation.
Gu Xi originally wanted to see what would happen to the plants grown by other wood-based abilities; Unexpectedly, Qin Yi directly stuffed the watermelon seeds to her.
However, the reason she gave made Gu Xi unable to shirk it.
"Gu Xi, of the watermelons I planted before, only one or two out of ten times were edible, but the coefficient of variation was very high; The taste, not to mention. It's completely different from the taste depicted in those food videos before the end of the world. ”
"Moreover, I have this little watermelon seed in my hand, and if I fail again, there will be no watermelon to eat." Xiao Tianmei said pitifully.
Watermelon seeds are extremely rare seeds in the major bases, and I don't know when I will have to wait until I apply for it next time.
Gu Xi was silent.
Soon, she knew the reason for the failure of Qin Yihui's planting.
- These watermelon seeds contain a lot of that weird energy, and according to the current standards, the coefficient of variation should be around 2.5.
With all the seeds like this, how can it be possible to grow watermelons with a low coefficient of variation?
It is said that the situation is unclear now, Gu Xi should not expose himself.
But she really wanted to eat watermelon.
As the saying goes, the artist is bold.
Because of Qin Yi, a wood-based powerhouse, by his side, Gu Xi was extremely careful in his operation this time.
After she injected her ability into these watermelon seeds, although she did not devour them, she directly enveloped those strange energies, and then spawned and sprouted......
A minute later, seeing that the watermelon seedlings were blooming, without Gu Xi opening his mouth, Qin Yi quickly made a cage with rose vines and caged all those moths and butterflies in this watermelon field.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Gu Xi continued to use his ability to spawn.
Soon, the ripe green-skinned watermelons covered the ground.
Only then did Gu Xi quietly withdraw her ability, and from beginning to end, she didn't devour that part of the weird energy.
Seeing that the watermelon in the field was ripe, Wei Heng and Qin Yi glanced at each other, and both pounced on the big watermelon excitedly.
Even the cool sister Qin Shi's face was a little expectant.
Soon, the two of them picked the largest watermelon, and Qin Yi couldn't even wait to take the knife, so he directly condensed the water into a knife and divided the watermelon into four large pieces.
Gu Xi took a piece and tasted it, the taste was far worse than the watermelons she had eaten before, she could only say that she could barely eat it.
But the other three on the side were eating happily and contentedly.
"Delicious!" Qin Yi took a bite, and his eyes lit up: "It's better than the watermelons I planted before." ”
"That's good." Qin Shi is her sister in the end, she is much more stable, and before eating, she also took out a portable anometer and measured it: "The coefficient of variation is only 2.7, Gu Xi, you are very powerful." ”
These watermelon seeds were applied for by her hands, and Qin Shi naturally knew what the situation was.
To be honest, the coefficient of variation had only increased by 0.2, a situation she had only seen at the Central Base Anomalies Research Institute.
And the person who made the shot that time was a high-level wood-based ability with a level 9 ability.
Qin Shi couldn't help but glance at Gu Xi more, maybe this person's use of the wood system ability was even more powerful than her sister.
No wonder the above will pay so much attention to it after getting the news......
Gu Xi didn't know what she was thinking, and when she saw her, she just smiled faintly and didn't speak; In private, he quietly "purified" the watermelon in his hand with his ability.
Without that strange energy, Gu Xi tasted the familiar taste in her memory again, and suddenly squinted her eyes pleasantly.
In order not to leave a trace, she decided to eat even the watermelon rind with her.
And after being purified by her ability, this watermelon skin tastes exceptionally crisp, sweet and delicious.
Qin was stunned when she thought she would eat watermelon rind: "Gu Xi, no matter how much you like it, you don't have to be like this, there are still more watermelons in the field......"
Gu Xi was still thinking about how to fool this question, when he saw Wei Heng on the side suddenly cough twice, and said in a low voice: "That, Gu Xi has always lived alone in the ruins before......
Qin Yi suddenly stopped talking, begging for a living in the ruins area, food and water are always the most important things, as long as it is food, there is no reason to waste it......
Qin Yi felt a little sorry, thought about it, and said to Gu Xi: "Gu Xi, these watermelons were planted by you, and they will be given to you, but can you give me some watermelon seeds and grow watermelons for me to eat in the future?" ”
Gu Xi thought about it and agreed.
- Who told her to be poor now, and not have a child in her pocket?
Moreover, she really has no way to refuse such a lively and cute little sweet girl's small request.
After eating the watermelon in their hands, the four of them sharpened their knives and went to the melon field. - These watermelons have to be picked as soon as possible and left in the ground, who knows if the coefficient of variation will suddenly become higher?
After harvesting the watermelons in the field, Gu Xi thought that the butterflies he had caught couldn't be wasted like this, so he turned around and went back to the house and took out the seeds of those tomatoes.
The same operation, one time to grow and two times to ripen, this time the tomato planting is very successful, because the coefficient of variation of the seeds itself is relatively low, and the taste of the fruit is even better than the original watermelons before.
Wei Heng alone ate four in one go!
You know, this is a mutated tomato, and each fruit weighs more than a pound.
Not to mention, he just nibbled on a large watermelon weighing at least five catties!
After finishing these tomatoes, Gu Xi glanced at the time, turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out a pot of big sweet potatoes that had been steamed in the morning.
After eating these sweet potatoes for the first time, the eyes of the Qin family sisters changed!
Since the great mutation of animals and plants 30 years ago, there have been very few foods with a coefficient of variation of less than 1!
Not to mention the coefficient of variation of these sweet potatoes, which is basically around 0.5.
This was the first time the two sisters had eaten such pure and sweet food!
Even as steady as Qin Shi, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
The two sisters secretly exchanged a look.
Gu Xi held the sweet potato in her hand, lowered her eyes, and ate it in small bites, and the little green sprouts sneaked out and circled around her fingertips.
She wondered where the bag of sweet potatoes she had sent out yesterday afternoon would end up being delivered.
After many years of crawling and rolling in the darkest period of the last days, Gu Xi is used to waking up - no matter how heavy he sleeps, he will wake up when there is a disturbance.
Last night, as soon as the man approached the other side of the creek, Gu Xi found out.
She had seen too much darkness and unbearable in the last days...... Thinking that there were two young girls living there, Gu Xi was a little uneasy, so he released a wisp of spiritual power.
Then I "saw" a man in black take the big bag of sweet potatoes she had sent out during the day from the hands of the two sisters......
At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly spoke: "Gu Xi, our sister will work for you in the future, okay?" We don't want anything else, you just give us some sweet potatoes......"
Thinking about it, before she finished speaking, Wei Heng on the side flatly refused: "No." Gu Xi has me as a part-time worker, it's enough! ”
He thought, Gu Xi only needs a total of 100 acres of wasteland, and she herself is a civil and engineering double family, just this little land, where do you need others to work?
It's enough to have him!
Wei Heng resolutely wants to keep his job and never give people a chance to snatch it.
Gu Xi: "......"
