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 603: Buy some more goods before leaving?

In any case, having one more card in hand made her feel more at ease. As the number of cards in her hand increased, Jingshu also positioned and arranged these cards one by one so that they could play the greatest role when they were most needed.

Back at the residence, Tank's sister was happily chasing the fat chicken, and Wanzi was also laughing and following behind the fat chicken. The three of them were running back and forth in a crazy manner.

Tank was cooking dinner with an apron on. He blew on the fire in the stove from time to time, watching the soup boiling in the pot. Then he asked the girl to run slower, his face full of smiles. He has been really happy recently. How long has it been since he had this kind of plain and warm happiness?

Maybe the people don’t feel anything special yet, because as long as everyone has a job, or no matter what, the town government will find ways to distribute food, no matter whether the food is insect cakes or something strange.

Ordinary people will be worried, but in fact they will rely on the town government and feel confident that the town government will definitely provide food.

But it's different for Tank. It can be said that his department is related to food. Even with the belt-tightening in recent years, the food in the warehouse is slowly decreasing. It is unknown how long the darkness will last.

It's not the end of the world, but... even regular workers are starving. This means that if humanity doesn't develop new food that can be produced on a large scale, famine will soon follow. How many people will starve to death? How much panic will be caused? How many riots will be triggered? When will this human catastrophe end?

"Add these to the pot, and cook some noodles. Let's just keep it simple today, just a pot of stew." Jingshu took out the big bag she had brought with her from the warehouse, and took out the ingredients one by one, such as various dried vegetables, canned luncheon meat, bacon, sausage, and ham, and then took out a big bag of dragon beard noodles.

After looking at the bland soup, I simply took out another packet of hot pot base and threw it over. Forget it, I'll just eat it anyway.

"This pot can't hold so much noodles..." Tank scratched his head foolishly.

"Just put down as much as you can. You know I eat a lot."

"Oh..." Tank's nose felt a little sore. Even if he was slow to react, he finally realized that Mirror was always so considerate. That's just how she was. When she helped you, she never said she was helping you, but asked you to help her. In the end, it was she who needed help...

Of course, she would never do anything she didn't want to do. She was a woman with a lot of ideas, a lot of courage, and most importantly, an extremely strong fighting force.

Tank silently said thank you in his heart, and from now on he would never hesitate to help anyone if he needed help.

However, I didn't get to eat the whole pot of stew, but instead I accidentally ate the spicy dry pot. Because I put too much stuff in it, it was boiled dry in the end... I sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander, and dipped it in garlic sesame paste. It tasted surprisingly good. Of course, the noodles were also turned into fried noodles, which tasted very good too. Jingshu felt like she had opened up a new world in the food world.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly thought of the spicy hot pot duck feet before the apocalypse... Unfortunately, there are no dozens or hundreds of duck feet at home for her to eat, so at most she can make a big hodgepodge.

After dinner, Jingshu went to guide Wang Danai on his work.

Wang Danai was so busy that he was dizzy. Everything was back on track. Once the work of the relevant people was handed over, Jingshu was still responsible for signing in the early stage, but now nothing was needed at all. Seeing this situation, Jingshu didn't want to disturb him anymore. She just stuffed some food into Wang Danai's mouth and left quietly.

The patrol area still needs to be patrolled, not only outside, but also in the space. Jingshu patrols every day and then checks the growth of animals and plants in the space. After all, the ancestors in the vegetable garden will get old if they are not harvested for a long time. After more than four years of farming career, Jingshu now has a very good understanding of the crops in the space. She knows under what circumstances the harvest will be the most delicious, but some things taste better as they get older.

In short, farming is also a science.

On the third day, Jingshu seized the opportunity and set off with the tank. This was considered as the last bit of time she had in the imperial capital to start shopping.

But before sweeping the goods,

As entrusted by Bao, Jingshu has to go to the Biological Research Institute first to bring back some information and this time's reward, the mysterious red liquid.

Jingshu used to have a lot of these things. It can be said that they were originally in a crystallized state. However, because Jingshu's Rubik's Cube was upgraded, it directly absorbed all the crystals. That made Jingshu sad for a long time.

"This thing... seems to be a little different from the liquid I got from the mountains in the United States last time." On the way to escort the liquid to the Institute of Biology, Jingshu frowned and thought for a long time. The two should have the same properties, so why are they a little different?

In terms of quality, of course the crystals are of the best quality. As for the liquid, Jingshu feels that what she has and what the town government has obtained are about the same.

Although the reward above was in grams, and the contract had been signed, Jingshu could not deduct it openly or secretly. However, Jingshu still secretly used the liquid in the space to exchange for some liquid as a reward for this mission.

When she returned, she wanted to study the difference between the two, because Jingshu thought that last year she had almost collected all the crystal energy in the mountains of the United States, so the red liquid that the town government got should have come from somewhere else.

Two places producing four-dimensional things? Interesting.

I thought this time I was just going to give her something, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. Since the Institute of Biology has been researching everything recently, Jingshu suddenly remembered that every time the two mutant vampire beetles mated with each other, there would always be a large pool of water left behind. Although it was a bit disgusting, could that shiny thing have any other uses?

If it's useful, then will the mutant vampire beetle have ancillary products in the future? Just like fat chickens laying eggs and snakes making wine.

In order to avoid waste, Jingshu also gave the liquid to the Institute of Biology for research.

"By the way, please help study these liquids."

The people at the research institute gladly accepted the test target and told Jingshu that the results would be out in the next two days. Only then did Jingshu hurriedly take the tank to "purchase the goods".

Since we are already in the imperial capital, we should bring some more things back. Jingshu is not satisfied with the things from the mountain the day before yesterday, but this time it is not the black market.

It is the upright and clear high-end market in the capital, which is the biggest difference from the black market.
