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 067: This is how the moldy oyster mushrooms that made me vomit came about

Along the way, Jing's mother kept blaming herself.

"If I had known that Yu Cai Ni was such an unscrupulous person, I should have been on guard. The look in her eyes yesterday was not right, but I never imagined that someone could be so evil! Or maybe I just thought people were too kind."

People always learn to be smart after suffering losses and falling down. It is better to fall down hard yourself than to be taught a thousand times. To discipline the parents of the fools, you have to let them suffer a great loss. If it doesn’t work once, try twice.

The spiritual spring water was dripped into the garlic sprouts and oyster mushrooms at all costs. In a few hours, they grew a lot and became much more vigorous. Jingshu was a little hesitant that the yield of such experimental products was higher than normal, and whether it would arouse suspicion. Then she realized that she was overthinking it.

At the same time, Jingshu also understood why she was able to survive in her previous life. She thanked God for not killing her and thanked her for taking so many unknown drugs and being able to live for ten years in the apocalypse.

The various experimental products of the 13 district governments in Wucheng are like a hundred birds singing their praises. Spinach sprayed with a certain element can mature in two days, and the abnormal garlic grafted with garlic and sprayed with pesticides can produce six or seven heads at each end. It is not known whether it is edible.

Although Jingma's experimental product, the oyster mushroom, was excellent, it only got third place in the final evaluation.

The first place is the genetically modified oyster mushrooms from the new urban area of ​​Wucheng. They were injected with dozens of times more mold and chemicals and soaked in a green smelly liquid. One mushroom bag can grow more than a dozen bundles of oyster mushrooms. Several layers of moss-like green oyster mushrooms can continue to grow inside the oyster mushrooms. It looks extremely disgusting. I don’t know how she ate it in her previous life.

One pack of mushroom bags can feed twenty people a meal.

The advantages are high output and low cost, and the extraction is easy to mass-produce. The disadvantages are bad taste, and incomplete volatilization of mold and other substances will leave safety hazards in the human body.

Jingshu knew that this kind of oyster mushroom was the vegetable that she vomited after eating in her previous life and never wanted to eat again. It turned out that it had been developed so early, which was just like forcing a chicken to grow wings. She asked why her leader never ate this kind of oyster mushroom.

The second place is genetically modified corn, which should be transformed into a new species that does not require sunlight, has high yield and lower planting requirements. It is still under research and is ranked second considering its value.

Although Jingma was ranked third, the leaders praised her highly after tasting the vegetables, and finally designated Jingma's development zone as "government-exclusive vegetable supply zone."

In the future, the twelve districts will supply the people of Wucheng, and Jingma's development zone will supply all the governments of Wucheng. This is a promising job but also a very dangerous job.

As for Yu Cai Ni's experimental product, its performance was too average. It did not taste as good as Jing Ma's, nor did it have the low cost and high output of the first place. It was similar to the experimental products in other areas: mass production of pile catalysts.

The cost is too high, after all, the cost of catalysts is also very high, so it ranked 7th.

Yu Caini immediately went berserk: "She cheated! All the vegetables in her lab were eaten by bugs! She must have stolen them from somewhere else!"

That's why the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, whatever the winner says is right, and whatever the loser says is useless. Seeing that the situation was already decided, Zhu Moo stepped forward and solved the problem perfectly.

Yu Cai Ni was immediately dismissed from her position as deputy director, demoted three levels, and had to undergo training in the Management Department for three months before seeing how things would go. If she disobeyed, she would be left home unemployed. Dismissal from public institutions is rare, so leaving her home unemployed was practically the same as being fired.

Because Officer Liu was involved in "lax supervision that caused serious financial losses to the unit," he was demoted one level and laid off for three months for training. If he refused to accept the decision, he could go home and be unemployed.

"Look, sometimes evidence doesn't matter. If you want to mess with someone, any excuse will do." Jingshu pointed out Zhu Mo's ruthless tactics to Jingma. "In just one day, he dealt with all the remaining followers of Yu Cai Ni, clearing all obstacles for you before he takes office."

Not only that, he also left a big gift package, hiring Jingshu as an honorary consultant of the Development Zone Management Bureau, responsible for implementing the frog breeding and pest control plan without pesticides, and her salary will be calculated based on the pest control area and the effect.

In the next few days, Jing's mother began to get busy with the handover work with Director Zhu.

Yu Caini and Liu Keyuan have to

Continuing with the post-layoff training, the content was to memorize various systems in the morning, and then follow the trainer to do basic work in the morning, including dirty and tiring work. Fertilizer making, which involved spreading the manure evenly and drying it, was all done by them. In just a few days, Yu Cai Ni lost weight and had calluses on her hands.

On Monday, May 1, 2023, just like in the previous life, the Wucheng government officially launched the artificial sun project after determining the location of the artificial sun in the new urban area reservoir. It is expected to be completed in 4 months and put into trial operation in early October, at which time all water, electricity and gas supplies will be restored.

At the same time, news of the construction of artificial suns in various cities spread across China. The timeframe varied, but everyone expressed the same message: hold on a little longer, and everything will be fine once the artificial sun is put into use. By then, it won't matter whether there's sun or not, whether it's hot during the day or cold at night, there will be a steady supply of energy!

But at this time, the people who had been patient for months and those who had been looking for trouble finally couldn't contain their wolfish ambitions and began to stir.

At the same time, from this day on, all gas in Wucheng was shut down. From then on, if you want to cook, you can only use an electric rice cooker, and fried rice can only be made with an induction cooker. Coal and firewood can also be used.

Fortunately, every household is now out of vegetables, dried goods, meat, and frozen foods. Not to mention cooking, even the oil has been used up long ago.

The only thing we can eat is steamed rice and boiled noodles.

So as long as you cook enough meals for the next day within the 2 hours of power supply, it won’t have much impact.

But the problem arises again.

A family of three eats three kilograms of rice a day. A 10kg bag of rice used to last them several months, but now, with no other side dishes, a 10kg bag of rice is gone in just six or seven days. A family that had more than a dozen bags of rice last month is down to just a few this month...

Even if a family of three goes to the supermarket to queue up every day, it will basically take two days of eating and sleeping there to get a chance to queue up. However, each person can only buy 1 kilogram of rice, which is not enough to keep up with the consumption.

This is still a relatively good situation. What about those who did not store enough food earlier? What about those who have relied on looting to get food since last month, but now that people are gradually banding together, they can no longer loot?

Thus, the first burglary began...

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Today we are celebrating three things. The first is that the national artificial sun project has officially started. The second is that Lanzhi has been promoted to director. The third is that Jingshu has a decent job!" Jing's father raised the red wine.
