Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 322 Cultivated Seeds

In fact, there is a lot of meat at home, but all that is outside is pork. Could it be that we are eating pork cooked in hot pot?

Most people wouldn’t do this!

As for the reason, Bi Qiaoan actually checked it online and it was said that people were afraid that the pork would not be cooked thoroughly, which might cause the eater to get pork tapeworm disease.

Although we can use pigs raised in space to replace the ingredients from the outside world, Yu Shui and the others don't know. Don't eat this meal, or you will always suspect that there is something wrong with the meat, which will be troublesome.

As for the fish?

This was something she and Shen Yanming had discussed early in the morning.

Since they are guests, they should at least treat them well.

The fish are caught from the space, but bought from the market.

To this end, the two of them actually went around the market.

"Your house really has everything!" Yu Shui praised.

Bi Qiaoan said modestly, "No, they are just some common vegetables. As for those that are hard to buy, Yanming and I can't buy them either."

Yu Shui shook his head. "No, I can tell from your family's quality of life is very good. Do you know what everyone eats this winter? Carrots and potatoes!

It’s rare to have such fresh vegetables at home.

There are also mushrooms and fungus, which are not available in the market.”

Bi Qiaoan did not refute, but smiled and said, "You will know when you go to my kitchen later."

"Don't wait for a while. I'll go and see it now. I won't be satisfied unless I see it. Even the food won't taste good." Yu Shui said as he put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

Shen Yanming didn't stop him and pointed to his own vegetable room.

The other three were also eager to see the scene, so Shen Yanming made a gesture of invitation and let them visit on their own.

When the four of them came back, they all had shocked expressions on their faces. "Old Shen, why are your vegetables growing so well while mine are all wilted?"

Shen Yanming shook his head. "It's probably because we often replant, so the vegetables are in the growth period. It may also be because our seeds have better characteristics and are more adaptable to environmental changes."

After hearing this, a few people felt that it made some sense, because their families would wait until the seedlings grew old and died before replanting them.

Moreover, most of the time, seeds are sown according to the season.

But can’t we sow seeds out of season? Not necessarily!

After all, there is heating at home, and the temperature is much higher than in spring.

However, Yu Shui noticed the second half of the sentence, and with the idea of believing it, he asked, "Are your seeds really good? Otherwise, can you give me some?"

Although the seeds at home are really good, Shen Yanming can't say it openly.

He could only say, “The vegetable seeds were all bought from the Meichel Company in Lan Country. Before the end of the world, Joan and I went there for a trip and bought a lot of flower seeds. The vegetable seeds were given to us for free by the sales staff there because they saw that we bought a lot.

They are said to be cultivated seeds, and these are what Joan and I have been growing. "

Shen Yanming thought, it's the end of the world anyway, even if anyone wants to check the situation of Meichel Company, they may not be able to find it. What's more, he and Qiao An really bought seeds there.

"Buying flower seeds? You have so much leisure time?" Yu Shui smiled, "Then why don't you buy them in China? Why travel so far?"

"Isn't this just a side trip?" Bi Qiaoan explained, "Languo's Mechel Company specializes in plant cultivation, and the variety of plants they own is the largest in the world.

We passed by and bought some, but not long after we returned to China, the end of the world came. At that time, everyone was busy growing vegetables and had no time to appreciate the flowers.

If you are interested, I can give you some flower seeds, all of which are super beautiful. But it has been so long, I don’t know if the seeds have become inactive. "

Yu Shui shook his head. "I don't have the energy to grow flowers and grass. The vegetables at home are still grown by my parents."

Bi Qiaoan looked at Cui Xian, Li Yinhe, and Chen Qing, and all three shook their heads, "No, no, no, it's better to plant two more dishes with that energy. In today's world, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, what matters is whether it tastes good or not."

"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan had a sad expression on his face, saying, "You really don't know what's good." Then he said to them, "Hurry up and eat the food. There's still a lot left."

Shen Yanming stroked Bi Qiaoan's long hair with a doting smile and said, "You don't even grow flowers yourself, but you still want to lead others into the trap. Fortunately, they were not bewitched by you, otherwise they would become flower maniacs and their families would have troubled you."

"Oh!" Bi Qiaoan pouted and said unconvincedly, "It's normal to be a fanboy. Almost everyone who knows that company is a fanboy because the company's products are really amazing."

Bi Qiaoan's words piqued the interest of several people. They picked up their phones and searched for the Mechel company. Unexpectedly, the information they got really surprised them.

"My God, is this company real? They have hundreds of grape seedlings and are still breeding new varieties."

"Yes, it seems that the snow oranges we eat are cultivated by this company."

"But why don't they improve their grain seeds?"

Shen Yanming also searched and said, "Maybe others are also doing research, but the results of this research will not be made public. After all, food is different from other things.

You know, controlling food means controlling the lifeline of the nation."

Several people thought it made sense. Chen Yanming pointed to the latest announcement and continued, "See? Their company doesn't sell any products to the outside world, but it's still open and continuing to do research. So what are they researching?"

Before Shen Yanming finished speaking, several people fell into deep thought.

In fact, Shen Yanming was talking nonsense, but he did feel that it was urgent to study food crops that could adapt to the new environment.

Whether it is a state-owned research institute or a private research institution, it is urgent to solve this problem.

Seeing that they were still in a daze, Bi Qiaoan went back to the kitchen and brought out a sea bass. He put the fish head into the pot and boiled it first, and then cooked the fish fillets after they came to their senses.

The fish fillets were sliced in advance. In order to fillet the fish meat, Shen Yanming even invited Zhang Heping back to help fillet more than a dozen fish at the cost of one fish.

Afterwards, Zhang Heping cried and shouted that he had lost money. He was so tired that he could not even lift his arms. He was only given a fish, and what’s more, the fish didn’t even have its scales and internal organs removed.

Finally, Shen Yanming made a pot of boiled fish for Zhang Heping as compensation, and Zhang Heping returned home happily.

A few minutes later, Yu Shui and the others came back to their senses.

Shen Yanming couldn't help but wonder if they were pretending. Otherwise, how could they be distracted at the same time and walk for several minutes?

In fact, they didn't really do it on purpose. They just let their thoughts wander a bit, then extended them further, and finally associated them with themselves.

I was thinking about how I would live in the future, how I would plant the seeds I took from Shen Yanming, and how the crops in the fields would yield next year.

I wonder if the Qinghe Alliance Research Institute can develop super grain varieties that can adapt to the environment.
