Xu Xingchen, a big shot in interstellar scientific research, was thrown to another star system after an experiment went wrong.
Looking at the endless snow, Xu Xingchen's heart felt utterl...
It’s just eating more food. With nutritional supplements, as long as the planting is successful, there’s no need to worry about ten more people coming.
Xu Xingchen nodded readily. Jun Haoyue bowed and said, "Thank you very much, young lady."
Xu Xingchen said quickly, "But I can't let you stay here for free. You have to repair the house yourself. I've prepared the materials, you can build it. Finish it before dark, and I'll help. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Jun Haoyue readily agreed. Although it was getting dark, it was just a bamboo house. Tie the bamboo together to make a wall, so this kind of project was still easy to do.
Xu Xingchen was worried that there would be air leaks between the bamboos, so he carefully filled the gaps with mixed rice paste. He felt distressed as he was filling the gaps, wondering how many meals Men Duner would eat from this rice paste.
Finally, everything was done. Xu Xingchen made some dinner casually and couldn't wait to close the door and think about the problem of grafting tomatoes and potatoes raised by Jun Haoyue.
Xu Xingchen had done this experiment himself during his sophomore year, and it was his first successful grafting project. However, after entering the laboratory, he began to face various advanced research projects. He had no time to study ancient Earth grafting methods, and his understanding of grafting between tomatoes and potatoes was very superficial.
I didn't expect to need it now. It's true that one only regrets not having learned enough when one needs it. Xu Xingchen scratched his hair in frustration and accidentally picked up the alopecia on his head and started to twirl it around. The alopecia were very strong and didn't break.
Jun Haoyue, who had just walked out of the cabin, looked through the air vent in the house and saw Xu Xingchen playing with his hair. He couldn't help but smile slightly and knocked on the door.
Xu Xingchen was getting irritated and said unhappily, "Who is it?"
Jun Haoyue was not annoyed, and his clear voice came softly.
"It's me."
Xu Xingchen sighed and began to regret taking this person in.
Helplessly opening the door, Xu Xingchen looked up at the tall Jun Haoyue.
"What are you going to do?"
Jun Haoyue nodded and took out a thick ancient book from his arms.
"This is something I stumbled upon before, and it has benefited me greatly. I think it should be helpful to you."
Xu Xingchen took a closer look.
"Heavenly Creations?!"
Xu Xingchen was very surprised. Isn't this the ancient version of the Encyclopedia of Agriculture? She only needed one case study. After all, learning from one example was a basic operation for her.
Xu Xingchen took the book in his hand with surprise, and flipped through it casually. The page with the folded corner came out first.
It formally introduced the grafting method and included some case studies, including potatoes and tomatoes. Xu Xingchen momentarily forgot that Jun Haoyue was still standing in front of him, and that he was still feeling the cold wind. He read without hesitation, as if he couldn't wait to bury himself in the book.
Jun Haoyue kindly reminded him, "Xingchen, it's very cold outside."
Xu Xingchen nodded without even looking at Jun Haoyue, then looked at the Tiangong Exploitations in his hand, and belatedly closed the door.
After reading the last word about tomato-potato hybridization, Xu Xingchen stretched and let out a low sigh of satisfaction.
It must be said that for a book written thousands of years ago, it is not easy to achieve such rigor. Xu Xingchen looked around. Jun Haoyue had left at some point, and she did not find the figure she expected to see.
"Munduner?" Xu Xingchen squatted down and looked under the table, but there was no one.
"Munduner?" I lifted the quilt, but still nothing.
When I lifted the pillow, I saw two packets of seeds and a plant that Munduner had brought back this time, as well as the words "I'm leaving" written in crooked little hands.
The handwriting was so cute that Xu Xingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Xingchen planted the plants that Munduner brought back in the yard, and also studied the two kinds of seeds left by Munduner.
One looks like wheat, the other looks like buckwheat. We don't know yet, but once they sprout and are planted, we'll know.
Xu Xingchen took out Mendun'er's unused clothes, wet them with warm water, wrapped the seeds in them in a warm room, and placed them in a vent for initial germination.
After doing all this, Xu Xingchen was really sleepy and fell asleep immediately, sleeping until dawn. If it weren't for the knock on the door, Xu Xingchen might have slept until noon.
Xu Xingchen rubbed his eyes. He hadn't even had time to change his clothes last night before going to bed, so there was no need to change now. He simply walked over to open the door. After opening the door, Zhou Xiaoniang said with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Xu."
Xu Xingchen hadn't fully woken up yet. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Well, good morning."
Zhou Xiaoniang was sharp-eyed. Seeing that there was nothing on the table, she exhaled coldly and said, "You just woke up? I brought you something. Come and eat it quickly. Thank you so much for your help. My husband is feeling much better now."
Having said that, Xu Xingchen woke up.
Since she wanted to give it to him, then give it to him. Xu Xingchen would be thankful that she didn't cause trouble. Xu Xingchen didn't like to owe others, so he mixed the few drops of nutrient solution with water and gave it to Zhou Xiaoniang. Zhou Xiaoniang got what she wanted and immediately smiled, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Xu is indeed Sister Xu, so insightful! In this case, I'll put the food on your table. I'm leaving first."
Zhou Xiaoniang was happily preparing to leave with the holy water when a harsh voice came from the side.
"Mrs. Zhou! Where did you get the food in this heavy snow?"
Xu Xingchen got a headache when he heard it.
This is Aunt Wang's signature voice again.
Aunt Wang, with a large basin at her waist, rolled her eyes, revealing a hint of disdain, and said, "Sister Xu, I just got some water from the back hill to wash clothes. How come there's a little room in the backyard of your house? Who's it for? It's not a man, is it?"
Aunt Wang's expression was unpredictable. "Even if your husband is missing, you can't look for a stranger."
Xu Xingchen just wants to live a peaceful life, and she is not afraid even if someone comes to cause trouble.
"Which eye did you use to see a wild man enter my room? Even if he did, does it have anything to do with you?"
Seeing the situation getting increasingly intense, Zhou Xiaoniang was about to leave, but Aunt Wang refused to let her go and immediately screamed, "Everyone, come and see! Zhou Xiaoniang is secretly hoarding food during the disaster!"
Xu Xingchen didn't quite understand, so he searched it on his light brain.
It turns out that in this time and space, during years of disaster, everyone had to hand over a certain amount of food to help everyone survive. Now that the snow has blocked the mountains for so long, everyone's food is almost gone, and they are all eagerly waiting for the village to release food. Therefore, anyone who can provide food is now the target of public criticism.
Many people quietly opened their windows a little and pricked up their ears to listen. A child from an unknown family laughed out loud, making Zhou Xiaoniang feel very embarrassed.
