Chapter 640 No More Meat
After cleaning up the terraces and spreading fertilizer and fungicide powder, it is time to plough the land.
The terrace plots are too small for sheep plows to work, so Xia Qing turned the land of the terraces one shovel at a time. Fortunately, although there are many terrace plots, the total area is only 1.7 acres, so the workload is not large.
After turning the land, it is necessary to use a leveling rake to level the land, which is a technical job. Xia Qing learned how to find the ground level from Qi Fu and his wife and has mastered this technique.
After leveling the land and making the ridges, it is time to sow.
Ordinary green light spinach, cucumber, eggplant, tomato, pepper, shallot, beans and pumpkin, which were planted last year, are not difficult to plant at all. Xia Qing soaked the seeds and germinated them in advance very skillfully, and they were planted quickly.
Yellow light potatoes need to be cut into pieces according to the teeth on the potatoes, mixed with plant ash and dried for half a day to dry the cut surface before they can be planted in the field.
Wood ash can not only be used to mix seeds, but also provide the nutrients needed for potato growth, making potatoes grow bigger. Therefore, Xia Qing also spread a lot of wood ash as base fertilizer in the potato terraces.
The potatoes that Xia Qing planted last year were not much left after eating for a whole winter. If she had not been poisoned later, causing the level of toxic elements in her body to soar and she could only eat green light food, there would be even fewer potatoes left.
Because she did not have enough yellow light potatoes to plant, Xia Qing exchanged a lot with other lords.
Because the rate of toxic evolution of potatoes in toxic rain is as high as 25%, and the probability of aggressive toxic evolution is not less than 8%, it is a variety with very low stability and is not suitable for outdoor planting.
The risk of planting potatoes is something that many ordinary lords cannot bear. In addition, after the lords exchanged seeds with each other, the variety of vegetables that can be planted in each territory increased, so among the ordinary lords who planted potatoes last year, many of them directly gave up potato planting this year.
Xia Qing took this opportunity to exchange a batch of potato seeds with toxic elements between 8-10‰, which filled two terraces.
Xia Qing, holding the Yi Stone, said that the rate of evolution is not a problem for her at all.
After planting potatoes, Xia Qing planted a half-terraced field of corn.
The green light corn seeds that Xia Qing planted in the cultivated land and terraces this spring were all high-quality corn seeds Y-3 that Tan Junjie exchanged from the Red 11th Base. Remembering the lesson of planting winter wheat last year, Xia Qing did not plant all six kilograms of seeds, leaving two kilograms just in case.
Corn is also a crop with a very high evolution rate in rainstorms.
Xia Qing planted two kinds of yellow light corn last year, one of which was a seed exchanged with the Territory Management Department, with a rate of evolution of 39%; the other was a seed obtained from Luo Pei, with a rate of evolution of 22%.
Although the evolution rate is very high, corn has no aggressive evolution and can still be planted.
However, this kind of corn has a relatively high growth temperature requirement and is not suitable for planting in spring. Therefore, the corn seeds that Xia Qing left last year need to wait until the temperature is suitable in June and July before they can be planted.
After planting the corn, Xia Qing took out the garlic cloves from the storage room and planted them in the prepared terraces.
Last year, she found 71 green garlic cloves and 28 yellow garlic cloves in her territory, plus the ones she exchanged with others. Xia Qing broke off the small cloves and ate them, and kept the large cloves as seeds.
After planting the garlic, Xia Qing straightened up, looked at the white garlic skins scattered in the terraces with a happy mood, then took out her notebook and drew a check mark after the task of planting garlic.
After the last check mark was made, all the crops that should be planted at this stage were planted.
Next, it is to wait quietly for the crops to germinate, and then wait until the temperature rises in late March and early April to plant cotton and sunflowers.
Xia Qing shook her sore arms first, then turned her crackling neck, and then stepped on the afterglow of the sunset to her green orchard.
There is a big Chinese toon tree, two apple trees, two jujube trees, a Chinese prickly ash tree and a passion fruit tree in the orchard. Because the warmth and cold prevention measures were not taken last winter, the passion fruit was frozen to death.
Not only in Xia Qing's territory, she asked around and learned that the passion fruit exchanged by other lords at the agricultural product fair last year was also frozen to death.
Although it is a pity, there is nothing that can be done.
In two days, her orchard will be able to add a new variety: two green light orange seedlings, which is the exchange project she and Territory No. 5 agreed on last year.
Xia Qing broke off all the grown Chinese toon buds and put them in the basket.
Seeing Xia Qing breaking off so many Chinese toon buds, the sheep boss opened his big eyes and called to her happily, "Mee~~~"
Xia Qing handed it a bunch of Chinese toon buds and took it home.
So many Chinese toon buds were picked because there was a vegetable storage room in Territory No. 3, which could increase the preservation time of Chinese toon buds to one and a half months. Breaking off this crop just allows the Chinese toon tree to produce another crop of buds.
Xia Qing couldn't explain the reason to the sheep boss on the hillside because the construction team of the reconnection had already arrived and was laying the foundation on the isolation belt to the north of her territory.
If there were advanced auditory evolvers in the construction team, the storage room in her territory that could store food for a long time would be exposed.
After returning home, Xia Qing processed the Chinese toon sprouts and put them in the vegetable storage room and started to cook dinner.
The sheep boss of course had Chinese toon sprouts plus compressed rations, the sick wolf had green light raw eggs plus a piece of green light wild boar meat, and Xia Qing herself had steamed rice and green light chives fried eggs.
Because the head wolf and the broken waist wolf hadn't come to bring her meat for a long time, Xia Qing's stock of green light and yellow light meat had run out. She could not eat meat, but the wolf dog Lao Er, whose stomach had recovered, had to eat meat, and it was good quality green light raw meat.
Old No. 2 is no longer a sick wolf. It has recovered and is now a healthy and mature evolved wolf.
Because the reconnection construction team is building a fence outside, the sick wolf cannot leave the territory to hunt, so Xia Qing decided to let the Hu Zifeng team help her guard the territory tomorrow. She will go to the third area of 49th Mountain to hunt and dig chestnut seedlings. By the way, she will also go to the second valley to clean up the place where the yellow lantern chrysanthemum grew last year.
The best prey in the third area of 49th Mountain is the wild boar raised by the wolf pack. Xia Qing is the "team doctor" of the wolf pack, and Old No. 2 is a member of the wolf pack, so if she and Old No. 2 want to eat meat, of course they can kill a pig.
Xia Qing made a plan happily. After going out to patrol the territory and running at night, she returned home and was half asleep in bed when she was woken up by the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Beep.
Xia Qing got up immediately and opened her phone, and saw a long-lost message:
The Broken Waist Wolf entered Territory No. 3 through the north gate at 11:28 on March 2.
The Broken Waist Wolf is here, and there may be a spy outside the north gate!
Danger!
Xia Qing immediately put on her clothes and rushed downstairs, opened the security door and rushed out.
Then, she stopped.
The Broken Waist Wolf standing at the door of the sheep shed turned to look at Xia Qing. Next to it was the wolfhound Lao Er, and opposite it was the timid plucked weasel.
Xia Qing's eyes were bright, and she raised her hand to greet him enthusiastically, "Broken Waist Wolf, long time no see!"
The Broken Waist Wolf, wearing a snakeskin protective suit, squinted and grinned, revealing its two cute, snow-white fangs.
