Chapter 229 The Least Thing Needed Is a Contingency

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan soaked in the bathtub for more than half an hour and then came out because they had more important things to do.

What happened? Just posting on Weibo!

Well, it doesn't sound that important...

However, Bi Qiaoan thought it would be a good idea to record a video to remind other friends.

So, Bi Qiaoan directed Shen Yanming to act as a photographer, while she moved all the vegetables from several kitchens in the house together.

Then I cleaned the bedroom and stacked the corn cobs I had picked today one by one and in layers.

"There is still moisture in the corn that has just been harvested. If it is not dried, it will easily become moldy and rot.

If conditions permit, you can put them into net bags and place them evenly on a well-ventilated wall, wooden rack or roof, turning them every two or three days.

Or you can leave the husks on and simply tie the cobs into large braids and hang them on racks to dry.

I don't have any conditions, so I can only stack them neatly. This is also OK, but you need to pay attention to spreading them evenly and not too thick. You have to turn them over every day until they are dry.

No matter which method you use, remember to keep the ground dry, well-ventilated and facing the sun. "

After Bi Qiaoan finished speaking, Shen Yanming ended the recording, edited it, and posted the video on Cha Cha Li's Weibo.

Then the two of them ignored the comments on Weibo and placed the corns they had brought back today in the bedroom one by one. Since there was no room in the bedroom, they placed them in the living room and on the balcony.

In short, they dried all the corn cobs according to what they had learned from books and videos.

After arranging all the corn cobs, Shen Yanming felt like he was wandering in a golden ocean. Because the living room was large and Bi Qiaoan didn't want to turn them over and re-arrange them every day, she just spread them all out on the ground.

So, except for the passages leading to the rooms, the rest of the place was covered with corn cobs.

After that, the two of them had a good meal and went to bed early.

The next day, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan dressed up and went to Qingning Mountain again, picking corn again today.

However, today the corn cobs were carried directly back to Ji Kangyong’s home by the two of them.

Although Ji Kangyong didn't have time to harvest corn with them, he was still at home at night, so Shen Yanming sent all the grain from his and Zhang Heping's acre of land to him and asked him to turn it over every night.

The two of them moved back and forth to the foot of Qingning Mountain, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After a busy day in the fields yesterday, everyone came back with sore waists and legs. Not many people are like them, who can continue working the next day as if nothing had happened.

So, everyone is envious, thinking that young people have good physical strength, but in reality, haha, it can’t be said!

However, no one noticed that the two of them moved things much faster today than yesterday.

This is because they drove the car to the foot of Qingning Mountain, and each trip they only had to move the corn from the field to the car.

Once the trunk and front and rear seats are filled, just pull it back directly. This saves time and effort.

So, the two of them were really stupid yesterday, and they fixed their minds on walking back and forth between Qingning Mountain and their home as usual.

I don’t know whether the others were as stupid as them, or they discovered this problem early on.

But no matter what, it's a good thing that I reacted, otherwise...

After finally harvesting all the corn cobs in the field, they both decided to take a few days off.

First, there are only sweet potatoes left in the field. It is not yet time to harvest the sweet potatoes. If we dig them out too early, it will affect the yield.

Second, the locusts have not arrived yet. Once they really enter the territory of Qinghua, the two of them can still harvest all the sweet potatoes if they hurry.

This is because Hai City is located in the central part of Qinghua Country, and ordinary residents are not given much land, so they dare to do this.

The two of them were comfortable, but the residents in the southern part of Qinghua were anxious.

Because they are the closest to Yu Jing Kingdom, if locusts enter the mirror, they will definitely be the first to suffer.

Moreover, the southern part of Qinghua Country is a high-yielding province. The cultivated area and grain output there are incomparable to the central and northern cities. Therefore, the south cannot have any problems.

Ever since the news of a possible locust plague spread in Qinghua Country, cities in the south have been racing against time to harvest crops. In order to speed up the process, the Southern Guard even borrowed agricultural machinery from central and northern cities.

The Qinghe Alliance naturally noticed this situation, so various agricultural machinery from central cities were transferred to the south, giving priority to helping southern cities harvest crops.

Therefore, what Sister Yan said about being able to get a harvester can only be regarded as a joke, because except for a few vehicles of the escort team, Hai City now has no available agricultural machinery.

As for the northern cities, they also stepped up their grain harvesting under the instructions of the Qinghe Alliance.

The Qinghe Alliance broadcast in these cities 24 hours a day: "Don't wait, don't delay, don't rely on luck."

That’s right, the Qinghe Alliance wants to remind everyone, don’t think that the locust swarm is still far away from you and don’t think that you can hide from it. You have to know that the last thing in this world is the unexpected.

Moreover, because the central region supports the south, it will inevitably affect the speed of grain harvesting in the central cities. Therefore, the northern cities must hurry to the central region to help after the harvest, and the same is true for the southern cities.

Therefore, the central cities can only do it on their own.

In this way, Qinghua Country was carrying out the grain harvesting campaign in full swing. Because everyone was united and helped each other, the grain was harvested quickly.

In addition to Qinghua, many other countries are like this.

Because, the Qinghe Alliance also issued a warning to other countries the moment it determined the locust swarm's movement trajectory.

However, those countries were invaded by Unknown No. 1 during the spring plowing season, and then they were in constant fear of the HZ virus, so there was not much food in their fields.

But even if it's not much, we have to act in advance, otherwise we will go hungry again this year.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan rested at home for almost a week before they recovered from the shock. Just as they were about to go out to harvest sweet potatoes, they saw a push message on their phones.

The two looked at each other, picked up their phones and were stunned.

The locust swarm is coming, it is really coming, and it has reached the southern border of Qinghua Kingdom.

The two of them looked at the locusts in the live broadcast and felt a little uneasy, so Shen Yanming clicked on the official blog of Qinghe Alliance to check the news.

The crops in the southern cities have been harvested, and agricultural machinery in the south and central regions are on their way back.

The northern cities had completed the harvest two days ago, and the agricultural machinery that came from the north to provide support had already started working in various towns and villages.

Seeing this, the two felt a little relieved.
