Doomsday rat

Chapter 162 Laboratories and Greenhouses
"Old Hong, do you think our days are getting better and better?" Although Liu Quanyou didn't get the expected privilege, he was not disappointed, because there was another more delicious cake in front of him.Whether he can eat it or not, he is quite confident.

A month and a half ago, he was still at home lingering on his last breath. Looking at it now, he is now a deputy captain who manages dozens of people and has food, drink, and territory. He has made great progress.Going at this speed, I dare not say that the state before the disaster will be restored soon, but the difference will not be too much, at least not too much difference in the quality of life.

"That's for sure, but you still have to go step by step. There's no rush. Hey, Lao Liu, what are you busy with over there? You're growing up in a hurry."

Is there more and more hope? Hong Tao is not as optimistic as Liu Quan.From the beginning of the disaster to today, we can only barely survive. If some problems are not resolved, we will face the problem of how to survive sooner or later.

But it's useless to talk to Liu Quanyou about these things, and my own worries may be superfluous, so let's talk about another topic, such as the dust that bursts out of the woods in the northwest corner from time to time.Since I was standing on the tree, the line of sight from this angle was just blocked by the branches, so I couldn't see what was going on there.

"Hehehe, Yang Ping and Yang Ling are the two girls who have been appointed as the chief and deputy leaders of the agricultural team. It can be seen that Tian is either working with the logistics team or helping my wife cook. This is great. Finally, they have land. I'm too busy to take up the post. But I don't have any manpower to assign, so I will do it myself!"

When mentioning this matter, Liu Quanyou couldn't help but tease Hong Tao, how easy is it to grow the land, and there are only two people, it's really like growing grapes in the yard.

"Hey, if you don't mention it, I will almost forget about these two fat girls. Oh, it's a sin, I didn't call them in the meeting before? It's your fault, why didn't you remind me! Let's go Let's go and have a look together."

Agricultural group?Yang Ping and Yang Ling?Hong Tao could only be sure that he had rescued two fat girls who secretly fried fried dough sticks in the kitchen of the restaurant, but he had no memory of the rest.

But since Liu Quanyou said so well, he probably made a promise.But it seems too disrespectful to just make a promise and not keep it, and you have to find a way to redeem it.

On the north side of the west side of the fasting palace, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard near the outer wall.In ancient times, it was a place for the emperor to park. Oh, no, it is not for parking, but for feeding horses. To put it bluntly, it is a stable.

But as soon as something occupies the emperor, it has to be upgraded. The yard built by the stables, with two entrances inside and outside, with red walls and green tiles and polished bricks, is more orderly and grand than the yard of Hong Tao's house.

At this time, there are two figures busy in the flower garden to the south of the stable. They are wearing the training uniforms of the US Marine Corps, stepping on slats on their feet, wearing fishing caps on their heads, with snow-white towels stuffed around their necks, and waving long A long hoe... No, it doesn't seem to be a hoe, but a rake, which has a few teeth less than Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake.

"Captain Hong, do you want to try?" Seeing Hong Tao and Liu Quanyou approaching, Yang Ping, who had a more cheerful personality, stopped waving the rake, straightened her waist and wiped her sweat with the towel around her neck, and started with a smirk. provocative.

Although Hong Tao has a bad reputation, he usually likes to make jokes and play pranks, and he still catches whoever he is teasing, and he has lost the majesty of a superior.On the contrary, Liu Quanyou, who has been working so hard to share ideas, has more official authority.

"Don't dig a hole for me, I won't jump... Can this land be planted?" Speaking of farm work, Hong Tao is purely a trafficker. He knows a little bit, but he definitely doesn't understand it, let alone do it.

At best, when you go fishing, if there is farmland nearby, you can join in the fun when you have nothing to do.For example, he has used this kind of rake before. He used the one to plan sweet potatoes, and it didn't work after digging tens of meters away.

Don't look at how many kilometers he can run with a pickaxe in a fight, but doing farm work is not a kind of strength. Even the old lady in the countryside can't compare with it. He can't earn five work points a day, at most two work points , and the old, weak, sick and disabled belong to the same category.

"If we do deep plowing in autumn and build a big shed, we can grow carrots, cabbage, spinach, and scallions!" Seeing that Hong Tao was not fooled, Yang Ping pouted and began to wield the rake again.This land used to be a flower garden, but because no one was there to take care of it, there were many weeds besides flowers.

The two girls' techniques are very skillful and ingenious. Once the nails are raked down, a pile of soil will be brought up, and the plants growing on it will be uprooted and then pressed down by the soil clods.Then hit it with a rake, and the soil clods are broken.

"If we can build a wall of fire, we can also grow green peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. In the past, my family specialized in growing off-season vegetables, which can be sold for more money!" When talking about farm work, Yang Ling, who was not very lively, couldn't help it. interrupted.

"Oh... I don't know how to use firewalls... Do you know how to do it?" Hong Tao knew what Yang Ling was talking about. The weather in the north is cold, and the temperature in the plastic film greenhouse is not enough. The local farmers want to continue planting in winter For vegetables, build a low wall when building a greenhouse.

But the inside of this wall is empty, and a fire can be lit outside to keep warm and increase the temperature inside the greenhouse. The principle is similar to that of a kang.But in the end, Hong Tao only heard the name but didn't see the shape.

He didn't have any objection if he started directly based on his imagination, he just moved his mouth and drew pictures. The problem is that if it doesn't work for a long time, the team members will definitely not be happy.It's better not to brag about this kind of bullshit, it not only delays work but also ruins character.

"..." The two girls looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

"You can use a stove without a firewall!" Yang Ling didn't give up, and came up with another idea.

"It's useless, where do you go to find coal these days!" This time, before Hong Tao could answer, Liu Quanyou was shot first.Yes, the whole city has been working on clean energy for several years, and coal has long been driven out. Hong Tao really doesn't know where to find it.

"Can charcoal work? Is it the charcoal used for barbecue and shabu-shabu?" But Hong Tao can make do with it the most. Coal is coal. If there is no coal, there is still charcoal. The effect of the two is the same.

The reason why people are willing to burn coal and use less charcoal is because charcoal is expensive.But now you don’t need money to buy anything, you can take whatever you want, as long as you can find it, it’s yours, so you don’t have to think about cost accounting.

"Sure, we have it in our store, I know where it is!" With a word that awakened the dreamer, Yang Ping threw down the rake, and it seemed that she was going to get it soon.

"Hey, don't panic, it won't be too late to find charcoal after the greenhouse is built, they won't be able to run on their own. Tell me first, in addition to building a greenhouse, finding charcoal and a stove, you also need Under what conditions can we grow vegetables?"

Hong Tao hurriedly stopped this hot-tempered fat girl, didn't everyone say that the fat girl has a slow personality, why did he meet a hot-tempered fat girl who said that the wind is the rain?

"Seeds! Can I find vegetable seeds in the city?" Compared with Yang Ping, Yang Ling was more bored, but her mind was more detailed, and she could always find the key points of problems and prioritize them.

"Seeds should not be difficult, but the quality cannot be guaranteed. But it doesn't matter, the first year is just an experiment, not quality or quantity."

Hong Tao really understands this issue better. He usually likes to play with flowers and plants. Some are dug from the park, some are taken from the flower beds after major events are over, and some have to buy seeds to cultivate themselves.

There are probably two sources of seeds, online purchases and physical store purchases.The former is definitely gone now, and the physical store should still be there.This kind of shop is usually together with the morning market and the small commodity market.

Coincidentally, there is a small commodity market in the north of the Temple of Earth, and there are indeed stalls selling flowers, birds, fish and insects. In addition to flower seeds, vegetable seeds are also necessary, but it is doubtful whether they can be grown.

How to put it, the water for selling flower and grass seeds is very deep, and you often encounter profiteers.When I bought it, I said it was hype, but it turned out that I couldn’t grow it when I took it home, or it was not the type you wanted at all.

But you still can't go back to find the back account and return the product. It takes at least a month from breeding to germination to adult plant, and it has grown for half a year.Who can prove that this plant was grown from the seeds bought in the first place?
Even if you go back and quarrel with the boss, at most he will throw you a small bag of seeds for free, saying that this time it is guaranteed to be true.As a result, half a year later, you found out that the species you planted were not right...
