Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 20 020 Despair River Depression

Brown rice is obtained by removing the husk from the rice paddy, which is actually rice.

That's all Mu Yu knows, she doesn't know how to grow rice, she can only do it by instinct.

She counted the brown rice carefully, and there were 130 or 30 grains. After soaking the brown rice in water, more than [-] grains floated up, which were not plump enough, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to germinate.

She comforted herself that it would be good to have about a hundred of them.

Because she was afraid of soaking the seeds, she went to the mustard space to plant the rice seeds early the next morning.

Those who are not plump are also planted, and the dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. At this time, not a single seed can be wasted!

After planting, she took water from the spring and watered it carefully. Among other things, she knew that rice needed a lot of water.

She looked at the rice fields that had just been planted, and then at the increasingly luxuriant weeds beside her, full of hope.

Up to now, she has already discovered that the weeds in the mustard space grow extremely fast and well. This is the advantage of the mustard space. Planting weeds is like this, and of course rice is also like this. This can somewhat make up for her lack of cultivation skills, so She wasn't very worried.

Now she only expects these rice plants to germinate quickly...

But apart from this, she has another thing to think about, and that is the issue of remuneration for Fatty Cui.

At the beginning, she thought it was difficult to get grain seeds, so in order to inspire a few people, she said that one seed was one weed, but she did not expect such a result.

There are a lot of grain seeds. Based on 130 grains, she supplies Cui Pang with more than 100 weeds.

If it is counted according to germination, it will probably be less.

But it's not her style to break her promise, let alone such a trivial matter.

Besides, if you lose your trust with these children, it will be difficult to win the trust of others in the future. She doesn't want this to happen.

She will grow these more than 100 weeds, so as to build trust, the other two will help her with more dedication when they know about it, and maybe they will drive more people to do the same.

As for the rest, she will charge this price for the seeds everyone brings for the first time, but then they will no longer be needed, just explain this.

Mu Yu thought so, and prepared ten grasses for Fatty Cui that day.

But that evening, only Zhao Cong and Song Gao came to talk to her, Cui Fatty did not come.

Mu Yu paid them a corresponding amount of weeds in exchange for the bowls in their hands, and asked them about Cui Fatty's situation.

Zhao Cong was puzzled by the question, while Song Gao said calmly,
"Fatty Cui's cousin is seriously ill."

Mu Yu immediately thought of the sleepy little girl he met yesterday, and suddenly understood something, sighed silently, and said,
"When you meet him, tell him that you can come to me to get the weeds he deserves, up to twenty per day."

After hearing this, Zhao Cong's eyes lit up immediately, and said,
"Sister, don't worry, I'll talk to him about it later.

Also, my father promised me to buy millet and eat it tomorrow, and then I can get some for you. "

Mu Yu nodded, it was of course a great thing to get another kind of food.

Song Gao didn't speak, but he looked thoughtful.

Such a small amount of food is not enough to fit between the teeth, so where can it be grown?
That place full of weeds?But where is that?Are you not afraid of being discovered and stolen by others?

Although Song Gao was a bit smart, he was only 15 years old, he didn't know much, he didn't think deeply, and he couldn't figure it out no matter what, so he had to give up in the end.

……

Mu Yu has already walked the entire block in the past few days. Although he has limited knowledge of the situation, he can do so now.

This matter is temporarily over. Apart from growing weeds and growing food in the space, she has nothing to do in reality for the time being.

She can't be idle, not to mention she can't be idle in her current situation, she has to fight day and night to get rid of this situation as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, she planned to go to the river depression at the other end of Huangsha City to see how the place where she got the weeds under the pretext was like, so that she would be prepared in case someone catches them and investigates them in the future.

It is not difficult to go, the direction is set, but the distance is long and it is very tiring to walk.

Along the way, she met many beggars who went to the river valley like her. Most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. These people were far inferior to her in terms of mental and physical strength. Spending all the day on the road may not necessarily reach the river depression.

These people looked very miserable. They might not want to reach the river depression earlier, but they didn't have such a good body and spirit.

Although there is water in the river depression, it is not a good place to live. Even beggars seldom gather there. Those beggars who go to the river depression cannot survive. The river depression is their last chance of life.

Sadly, most of them never made it to the river bottom.

She sighed silently, gritted her teeth against the scorching sun, which was only in April, and continued to walk forward, her shoeless foot was scuffed.

Finally at noon she reached the river swale and saw the body of water.

The body of water is not small, but it is not something to be happy about, because the surrounding area of ​​​​the dry riverbed is larger.

By comparison, the drought is very serious.

Seeing this stark contrast with his own eyes, while Mu Yu was shocked, he also clearly understood that this is a rare and major disaster, and he might not pass easily.

Her heart was heavy, and she thought of Yang Erlang telling her that he would go back to his hometown to farm when things got better. At that time, she only thought Yang Erlang was naive, but looking at it now, she couldn't even say a word of innocence.

When things get better...

Are they really waiting for that time?

How many people can wait until that time?

Mu Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the previous pain and confusion had disappeared, only full of seriousness and reason.

Drought is a natural disaster, no one knows when it will end, and no one knows how many people will die.

But in addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. When the two are added together, it can be predicted that the future will be dark.

She has the mustard space, natural disasters can't kill her, she may be able to save a few people, according to the water and land in the mustard space, it is no problem to maintain the normal life of four or five people, if it is just alive, the dozen people can also save Got it.

But no more than that.

Compared with the entire ruined temple, the entire Huangsha City, and the entire dynasty, this kind of person is really insignificant.

She wanted to do something, but found herself powerless.

A person's strength is really very small, even if she has a lot of space.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. The little black cat who gave her the mustard space seemed to have said that the mustard space can be upgraded and become stronger?

Upgrading the mustard space can save more people...

The joy didn't last long on her face, and she quickly thought of the key question.

Mustard space, how to upgrade?
