Chapter 382 Planting

But most people's mood is still not very high.

Lan Jin took the child away under the teacher's resentful gaze, and also asked the child about what happened today.

But no one knew whether it was because the kid was too tight-lipped or if nothing really happened, but Lan Jin didn't find out anything at all. In the end, the matter didn't become a big deal and was naturally left unresolved.

…

The other side.

In a laboratory, a gray-haired professor was ecstatic upon receiving the news that the vaccine had been brought back. He excitedly shook the hand of a middle-aged man and asked anxiously, "Really? Has it been brought back? Are you sure it was brought out of the dense forest in R City?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Yes, it was Captain Zhang who led the team personally. He carried the vaccines all the way back without any help from anyone else. You should know Captain Zhang's character. There shouldn't be any problems with the vaccines coming from him, but..."

Seeing the middle-aged man paused mid-sentence, the professor immediately asked, "Just? Just what do you mean? Could something have happened to the vaccine?"

"No, no, there is really nothing wrong with the vaccine. It's just that Captain Zhang took it upon himself to give only one bottle of Lao Shi to the J City base. There were originally 400 bottles, but now only 399 bottles have been brought back." The middle-aged man also told the other party the news he had received about Lao Shi.

When the professor heard it was just this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was something else. As long as we bring the thing back, it's fine. It's just one bottle. It won't cause any trouble."

"But... I don't know what happened, but those who went to Maolin thought these vaccines were for treating body mutations."

The professor asked curiously, "Oh, there is such a thing?"

"Yeah, I don't know how it got spread like this. If the people at the base insist on doing research on their own, something might happen..." the middle-aged man couldn't help but remind.

But the professor interrupted nonchalantly, "It would be best if the people at the base were willing to conduct private research. That way, they'd be doing the experiments for us for free. But... we'd better get there as soon as possible. They'd at least leave a few bottles for us."

After saying that, the professor immediately said, "Go prepare the car and ask the higher-ups to let us participate in this experiment. It would be best if we wait until we get there before starting the experiment. Go quickly, let's pack our things and set off immediately."

…

The next day.

After Lan Jin and the other three sent Lan Qiaoqiao to kindergarten, they went to the planting area of ​​the base. It must be said that the Jing City base is really big. It took them 25 minutes to walk from their dormitory building to the planting area.

Lan Jin said, "Since we're going to live here for a long time, can't we get a car? I have bicycles and solar-powered electric cars in my space, so why do we have to walk?"

Ling Jiang also agreed, "Although walking is less tiring, this base is too large, and each area is different. It's really difficult for us to travel back and forth."

Lao Gao said, "Why don't you use a bicycle? There are plenty of bicycles in the space. If something unexpected happens and you lose one, I won't feel bad."

The bicycles were bought for free in several large supermarkets, and almost every supermarket had a large number of bicycles on display, so that the bicycles in her space were piled up into a small mountain.

Lan Jin carefully examined the seeds in his hand and asked, "Should we sell the bicycles?"

"Sell them. We could make so many that we couldn't finish them even if we kept producing them until we died. We can just keep what we need and sell some to exchange for other things. We don't just sell one thing in our store anyway." Lao Gao thought about it carefully and realized that selling bicycles at the base seemed feasible. "I'll go and inquire about the price later. Let's not rush into making a decision."

In short, what we have to do now is planting.

The seeds they received yesterday included potatoes, sweet potatoes and some small green vegetables.

Moreover, all the seeds that can be planted now have been improved at the base, which greatly shortens the cycle. For example, these three seeds will not take more than 2 months from planting to harvesting.

Because they rent the seeds and land with their own money, the base will not ask for the food they grow for free, but half of all the food they grow must be sold to the base, and they have the right to freely dispose of the remaining half.

Although the base's requirement is a bit of a "forced sale", it's not like they won't give contribution points, so this rule is not really unacceptable.

Because the seeds have been cultivated, there is no need to raise them. Just plant them in the soil and water them on time every day.

As for fertilizing—

This is not popular now. Like H City, we use nutrient solution, but you don’t have to buy it. The nutrient solution only makes it grow faster.

And the seeds at this moment do not need to be disinfected. Even if it is necessary, the base will send people to solve it directly, so for them, apart from watering, there is really nothing else to do.

Of course, don’t be fooled by the planting process. In fact, whether the crops can be grown or not really depends on luck.

According to Captain Zhang, with the same piece of land and the same batch of seeds, some people can grow crops while others cannot, so it is really hard to say.

But in short, within one morning, the seeds were completely planted in the soil. After watering the seeds for the last time, they left.

…

The storefront is about a 30-minute walk from the planting area. They walked a section of the way in the morning and worked all morning. After planting, they really didn't want to walk anymore. The four of them came to a bus stop not far away and planned to take the bus there.

The bus also costs money, the ticket price is 0.5 contribution points per person, and you can just swipe your residence permit.

It would be much faster to take the bus, and including the waiting time, it would only take 10 minutes. The bus would stop directly at the door of the store area, and then you could walk inside. The whole journey would only take 2 minutes, which greatly shortened the time they needed.

The store at the base said they needed a key, but in reality it was just a password, so once they knew the password, it was sent directly to their phones, and people—

Naturally, I didn't come.

The initial password is uniformly 6 zeros. After entering a string of 0s, the first thing Lao Gao did was to change the password, and then he went to the store to observe how the decoration needed to be done.

According to the unanimous decision of the four of them, the store will start selling small umbrellas first.

In the end times, although children are important, they cannot be born at any time, and naturally not everyone wants children. In addition, children are non-reproducible, so their selling price is extremely high.
