Unfortunately, after careful observation, she found that except for the spiritual spring seeds she had used for the experiment, the other crops in those plots of land were not growing well. The vegetables in the fields were sparse, not very tall, and the leaves were pitifully few, thin and small, and a little yellow.

In contrast to these ordinary vegetables, the seeds she secretly planted grew thick and big, with emerald green leaves and a strong fragrance.

Shen Qingqing thought, since there was no problem with these seeds, then she could boldly take out the seeds soaked in spiritual spring water and plant them.

Shen Qingqing and her friends also participated in the harvest this time. Although the vegetables did not grow well, it was better than nothing.

Everyone worked together to pick the vegetables and handed them over to the logistics department. After the logistics department staff counted each person's points, they distributed the vegetables to everyone according to the points.

It was that big square again. Last time, Shen Qingqing and Shen Jiaojiao could only watch others distribute food with their eyes open. This time, it was finally their turn.

Shen Qingqing was very happy, as this was the fruit of her labor, while Shen Jiaojiao seemed to be bored, as she could not get too many vegetables and waited in line with little interest.

According to her, it would be better to use the money to buy vegetables from the supply and marketing cooperatives instead of working so hard for several months to get such a small amount of food. This way, she can eat fresh vegetables and not be too tired.

But she had no idea that in a family with so many children and so many people, they could barely get enough to eat with just their husband's monthly salary and allowance, not to mention spending money on groceries every day.

It is because she has no one to support in old age and no children to worry about, so she has no burden and can spend money without restraint.

For most military wives, working hard for a few months can be exchanged for food and vegetables, which can also save the family money. It is a very cost-effective thing.

Everyone has spontaneously lined up to receive vegetables. Most people are willing to wait for the troops to distribute vegetables according to their schedule. Vegetables that are durable can be kept for a longer period of time, and vegetables that are not durable can be made into pickles and stored. Of course, people with better conditions are definitely more willing to spend money to buy fresh vegetables, but they are a minority after all.

Shen Qingqing worked for a little over two months, earning no less than eight cents a day. But not all of these cents were exchanged for vegetables, but also for this year's grain.

So in the end she exchanged 120 kilograms of cabbage and 25 kilograms of green vegetables.

Many people were not as happy as they thought when they received the vegetables, because this batch of vegetables was even less than the last time, which showed that the environment was getting worse and worse.

The production of grain and vegetables is decreasing. There is a lot of cabbage, but the amount of green vegetables is pitiful. But think about it, given the situation in the fields, it is not a small amount.

She didn't feel too bad. After all, she had already stored a lot of vegetables in her space. Compared to these vegetables, she still preferred to eat the vegetables grown in the space.

More than 100 kilograms of vegetables may sound like a lot, but in fact, if it is put into a family of one, it will not last long.

After all, these days people seldom eat meat at home and basically live on vegetables. If you want to fill your stomach, eating a lot of vegetables every day is enough.

But Shen Qingqing's situation is not bad, as there are only her and Zhou Yuanzheng in her family.

These vegetables can't be eaten in a short time, and it's not cost-effective to pickle them all. The weather on the island is complicated and changeable, hot and stuffy, which is not suitable for pickling vegetables. Even if you make pickled vegetables, they can't be kept for long and are easy to spoil.

If all these vegetables were pickled with salt, they would go bad before we could finish them.

You can handle the vegetables and food you receive yourself, as the higher authorities won't take care of it. You can keep them for yourself, give them away, or sell them.

Shen Qingqing thought, why not just sell some of these vegetables? Anyway, she and Zhou Yuanzheng alone would definitely not be able to finish them in the short term, so it would be better to sell them to other military wives.

But she heard some people complain that there were fewer and fewer vegetables to eat, and that there were many children and elderly people at home, so the vegetables were not enough to eat.
