Chapter 253 Picking Team

A group of picking teams came out from behind the portal one after another.

It was their first time here, and they were so shocked by the main store that they were speechless.

After coming out, they didn't dare to walk around. According to the prior regulations, they stood with their team and waited for the leader's unified arrangements.

After all, they don’t know where the farms are or where they can pick vegetables.

After everyone came out, Chu Wanfu slowly came on stage.

When he saw the things and the sign that Xia Yan had prepared, he felt uncomfortable and knew that this was the case...

Xia Yan smiled and waved to him, holding up the sign to signal.

It’s so cheap, aren’t you tempted?

Chu Wanfu nodded perfunctorily in agreement. His original intention was to collect supplies as quickly as possible, and he would turn a blind eye to other minor matters and let them go.

After explaining everything, he specifically added that if necessary, they could rent tools from Boss Xia.

If you can't resist, then join.

With General Chu's words, everyone felt relieved. It would be difficult to work without tools.

Xia Yan was busy and happy. He was responsible for collecting points, while Zhigang was responsible for renting tools.

Chu Wanfu brought nearly three hundred people, and the rental income alone reached 5,000 points.

Chu Wanfu called his confidants, walked into the resort gate, bought all the gasoline sold in the supermarket, returned to the lobby and walked out of the safe zone, and ordered people to take out the armored vehicles in the space.

Add gasoline and prepare to expand the exploration range.

He has a lot of cars like this, but gasoline is too hard to come by, so they are just piled up as scrap metal.

"Let's go." Chu Wanfu jumped into the car, closed the door and left in a leisurely manner.

The soldiers then escorted the picking team on foot to the neighboring farm where safety hazards had been confirmed to be present, to carry out the picking task.

In order to prevent any emergencies, all the soldiers surrounded the area and were on high alert.

The farm was covered with dense weeds. Each picking team was responsible for an area. They pulled aside the waist-high weeds to reveal green leaves and red stems. A closer look revealed fruits the size of an adult's arm lying on the ground.

It's just that the colors are mixed, the whole body is yellow-purple, and it looks like a twisted croissant.

No one knew what kind of vegetable this was, they just vaguely thought it was edible.

It must have mutated. I might as well cut it off and take it back so that the leaders can identify it.

Another team pushed aside the star-shaped leaves, revealing the small red fruits inside. With a gentle poke, the thin skin burst open.

This kind of thing cannot be picked, so walk further in and see.

"Wait, that looks like a broad bean?" Someone suddenly stopped and plucked a bean pod from under a very thick weed leaf.

It's as thick as three fingers.

Wearing gloves, the bean pods were opened, and green beans were lying side by side inside.

“It seems so.”

The picking team was very happy. They found broad beans as soon as they came in, and the whole area was full of this kind of leaves. It was really effortless to get them.

Work.

Suddenly, I heard another group of people exclaiming not far away:

"That one in front is a potato leaf. The leaves are like feathers, and the stems are diamond-shaped, thick, and hairy. It's definitely a potato!"

"We're rich, we're rich! Potatoes are heavy, hurry up and don't let others get there first."

The noisy sound of running and leaves hitting clothes attracted the attention of the nearby picking teams, who all stood up and looked up with envy in their eyes.

Digging potatoes was the best task I could accomplish. I was really lucky.

Also digging out potatoes was Sang Zhengyi's team, who were shoveling soil outside the safe zone.

When they saw that everyone else in the base had rushed over, they became anxious and wanted to finish the work as soon as possible.

But the more anxious I am, the more I want to do the job well.

The group of people unknowingly shoveled farther and farther away, and found that the terrain near the safe zone was lower, and the terrain became higher the further out. When it rained, the water would flow to the lower places. Everyone decided to shovel it all flat together so as not to embarrass Sang Zhengyi.

So he dug a shovel into the water, but felt something was wrong. He lifted the shovel with force and saw a big potato stuck in the shovel.

"Leader, there are potatoes here too!" Mao Er happily pulled out a potato and weighed it in his hand. It felt heavy, at least four pounds.

Wow, it’s really big.

Seeing this, the others also came over. It really was a potato. It was really strange that it could grow here.

Sang Zhengyi walked over with a shovel, stepping on each pit, carefully examining them, and then took the shovel and asked the officer in charge of recording.

When the other party heard that it was dug out outside the safe zone, he was immediately unsure.

Although there is no farm gate in this area, it is surrounded by a wooden fence. The hotel is located in the center of the farm, and it looks like Boss Xia's territory no matter how you look at it.

Digging vegetables in someone else's territory? Besides, this place is deeply covered with zombie blood. It is unknown whether the potatoes have absorbed it or how much they have absorbed.

Don't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and destroy the friendship between the two parties.

Sang Zhengyi also took this into consideration, and the two of them decided to continue clearing the debris, putting the dug potatoes aside and eventually handing them over to Boss Xia as a favor.

At the same time, in order to compensate Sang Zhengyi's team for their hard work, each person was paid an additional crystal core.

Sang Zhengyi was very satisfied with the result. He went back and explained the relationship to everyone. Basically, everyone agreed and their enthusiasm for work only increased.

When everyone returned from work in the evening, the hotel was full again.

Whether on the second floor, third floor or in the buffet restaurant, all the tables were filled with guests.

Some old customers who couldn't wait in line simply didn't join the fun, and either ordered something to eat from the brunch machine or ordered takeout.

They didn't go upstairs, but sat under the wall outside the hotel, eating while watching Boss Xia and Zhikang count the quantities of vegetables and fruits.

The recorder counted today's harvest and divided it into four full hills within the safe zone.

"Boss Xia, the vegetables and fruits have been divided equally. Please sign here so I can report it to General Chu." The clerk handed over a form and a pen. It clearly recorded the quantity that should be distributed to Xia Yan, which was consistent with the quantity given by the system.

After Xia Yan confirmed that there was no problem, he took the pen and signed his name on it in a flamboyant manner.

There were three copies, and she took one of them.

This is the completion of the division. The space-ability soldiers waiting on the side began to pack the items into bags in batches and put them into the space, preparing to send them back to the base later.

Xiongxiong pulled a small cart and brought the carts one by one into the public operating room, handing them over to Zhicang for cleaning.

After washing it clean, take it to an official detoxification shop for disinfection before it can be sold.

This is a big job.

Xia Yan then ordered five small trailers from the mall and bought many shatter-resistant plastic boxes, and asked Xiong Xiong to load the vegetables into the boxes so that the small trailers could carry as much as possible.

She originally planned to wash and disinfect the potatoes, radishes and other long-lasting vegetables and then send them to the supermarket for sale, and dry the perishable fruits and vegetables into dried vegetables.

But when she saw the full and fragile "hill" taller than her, she knew that it would take a lot of time and labor just to wash and cut it. If she then used the sun to dry it, she was afraid that it would get moldy and the fruits would not come out.

Plus, the picking team has to go out tomorrow, so she has to find a way to expedite the process.
