Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 006: One World, One Mother

Then Jingshu closed her eyes and entered the Rubik's Cube space while exercising, picked out the seeds needed to make pickles before the end of the world, and began to plant them in the fields.

The fields in the Rubik's Cube space don't require seedlings, watering, or pollination. But Jingshu still decided to raise bees in the fields. Honey is good for beauty and can be used as a facial mask.

Jingshu thought about it and made arrangements: 12 square meters of red peppers, with the blessing of the spiritual spring, can be harvested in waves every 5-6 days, and the continuous harvest is an indispensable raw material for making chili sauce, kimchi, spicy beef jerky, etc.

6 square meters of pickled mustard greens can be harvested in 7-8 days. Jingshu's grandmother is an expert at making all kinds of pickled vegetable sauces. Just imagine how delicious it would be if you could eat some Wujiang pickled mustard greens and steamed buns in the apocalypse.

6 square meters of cabbage can be harvested in 5-6 days. Spicy cabbage, crispy pickled cabbage, sour cabbage, etc. not only have a long storage time and are not easy to attract attention in the apocalypse, but are also very delicious appetizers.

3 square meters of white radish can be harvested in 5 days and stored as a side dish of pickled white radish, which can be eaten for one or two years.

3 square meters of cucumbers can be harvested in 6-7 days. Jingshu can't help but drool at the thought of the taste of pickled cucumbers.

2 square meters of spring bamboo shoots can be harvested in 5-6 days. Pickled pepper bamboo shoots and pickled bamboo shoots are really delicious.

2 square meters of cowpeas can be harvested in 7-8 days. Sour cowpeas are a good partner for instant noodles.

2 square meters of garlic can be harvested in 6 days. Jingshu can eat a whole plate of sweet garlic and pickled garlic even if they are eaten alone. The products of this space must be top-quality. The garlic in the space is different from those gorgeous ones outside. Besides, the purpose is to cultivate garlic sprouts, so we can't be careless.

Jingshu scattered the seeds densely and covered them with a thin layer of soil. Anyway, there was no problem of malnutrition or uneven sunlight in the fields.

58.com is very efficient. Jing's father has received several calls and has made appointments with several customers to view houses together tomorrow. He even took half a day off for this purpose.

Jingshu decided not to join in the fun. Although she had no money, she couldn't waste time. She went to get her parents' medical insurance cards and went to the drug wholesale center to buy medicine tomorrow. It was right next to the Wucheng Cancer Hospital. Not only was it cheap, but there was also no quantity limit. Perhaps it was to facilitate the huge demand of the cancer hospital. In her previous life, Jingshu would come here every six months to bring a lot of medicine for her aunts and uncles.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, the medical insurance card limit was set at 100 yuan per day. Soon, it stopped working altogether. It was a shame that Jing's mom had tens of thousands of yuan in her card and couldn't spend it. Jing's dad and grandma both had high blood pressure, and post-apocalyptic medicine was even harder to come by! It was such a shame that grandma and grandpa died in their first year... I didn't want to repeat the same mistake in this life!

Jingshu also asked Jing's father for the original design drawings of the villa, intending to modify the design herself so that she wouldn't be caught off guard when the renovation came.

After the plan was ready, Jingshu returned to the bedroom, turned on her laptop, copied down all the Baidu entries, maps, recipes, and medical knowledge, and downloaded a "library library software."

While the computer was downloading, Jingshu watched a Rubik's Cube tutorial and started practicing.

It was okay to spend the first two years of the apocalypse in the villa, but in the last few years, the villa was no longer safe and she had to run around with the main force. The current space is still too small. Jingshu needs to upgrade to the Rubik's Cube space as soon as possible. She still has a lot of things to prepare.

“Boom boom boom!”

"Today's morning news..."

The soy milk blender made an irregular roar, like a cannonball, mixed with the rhythmic sound of vegetables being cut neatly, as well as Jing's mother's dissatisfied nagging, Jing's father's aggrieved rebuttal, and the sound of the news broadcast...

Every sound is pleasant to the ears.

We live in the same world and have the same mother. It would be abnormal if we didn't vent our emotions early in the morning and wake up everyone in the building.

"Ahhh! I slept in on the first day of my rebirth!" Jingshu tossed from side to side. In her previous life, before the end of the world, she was always calm no matter how loud the noise outside was. She could even answer her mother in her sleep whether she wanted fried eggs or boiled eggs!

After the end of the world, Jingshu became neurasthenic and easily woke up in shock, fearing that there would be a big earthquake, a flood, or that she would be surrounded by rotting corpses brought up by the tide, etc.

Finally, Jingshu finished washing up with dark circles under her eyes, and her parents had already gone to work.

The soy milk was still steaming, Jingshu added sugar and stirred it, rolling the egg in one hand.

I had already eaten the pancake and sausage, and finished a pile of cold cucumbers with two chopsticks. I grabbed the last steamed sweet potato and swallowed it in one gulp without peeling it. The sweet sweet potato flesh and the tough sweet potato skin stayed in my mouth for a long time without being chewed, and I felt the greatest satisfaction the moment I swallowed it.

Soy milk makes its final appearance, its rich aroma and light sweetness flowing from the tip of your tongue to your throat as you swallow it, flowing warmly down your stomach, leaving you feeling warm and comfortable all over.

It is said that among the three meals a day, Jing's mother cooks the best breakfast, because breakfast is all semi-finished products and requires no technical skills to heat or cook. When Jingshu gets the money, she will definitely go to the frozen food center to buy as much as she wants.

After eating, Jingshu took a taxi to buy medicine. She also brought a credit card that she had never used before, with an overdraft limit of 40,000 yuan.

The drug wholesale center is only a few meters larger than an ordinary large drugstore. As soon as you enter the door, a shopping guide will come towards you with a basket and a smile as beautiful as a flower: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

After confirming through eye contact, I knew that this was the smile of seeing money.

"Hello, I'm here to buy medicine for my grandparents and relatives in the countryside. Here's the hospital certificate and their ID photos. There are 11 people in total." Jingshu took out the certificate familiarly. Some medicines cannot be bought without the certificate.

The salesperson's smile widened. "This medicine for high blood pressure is subsidized by the government. I'll need to register for it later."

"I want to buy more at one time. It would be too troublesome to carry all the medicines with me. Can I use my medical insurance card?"

"No problem. Just leave your medical insurance card here. We have branches that take turns wiping it. We'll call you to pick it up after you've paid the bill." The elder sister said this with professional expertise, saving Jingshu from having to change pharmacies every day to swipe her medical insurance card.

Jingshu showed the shopping guide the medicines her grandmother needed, and the rest was easy. The amount for 11 people was already a lot, and each person brought two years' worth of medicine, so it was more than enough.

With the remaining 10,000 yuan on her medical insurance card, Jingshu bought some common medicines, including summer-heat-relief pills, medical alcohol, saline solution, cooling oil, medicated oil, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and Yunnan Baiyao, as well as many other life-saving items for the apocalypse.

When the shopping guide heard Jingshu wanted a box of Fengyoujing, her look was a little meaningful. I heard that many young people like to apply Fengyoujing on their private parts to seek excitement?

After leaving her medical insurance card and password and registering the information of her distant relatives and neighbors in the countryside, Jingshu paid another 200 yuan for delivery fee, and the goods were delivered to her home together with the money.

After sending the delivery driver away, Jingshu placed the medicine box in the living room. She had already thought of a reason to buy so many medicines. After ticking the medicines on the list on her mobile phone, she looked at the time and saw that it was only 11 o'clock. Jingshu went out without stopping and took a taxi to Wucheng Animal Husbandry Base.

Jingshu urgently needed to raise a batch of livestock. Making dried and smoked meat was secondary, really. The main purpose was to test what dilution ratio of the spiritual spring would achieve the best strengthening effect on the human body, and to test whether drinking the spiritual spring would accelerate aging.
