Chapter 139 Never Treat Yourself Badly
Fu Hengyuan smiled bitterly and said:
“Northern Flour Country.
According to reliable sources, the four major gangs there have stockpiled large amounts of medical supplies and advanced weapons.
The food crisis in the base has been temporarily resolved, but medical supplies are becoming increasingly scarce.
Therefore, this batch of medical supplies is needed to replenish the base warehouse in case of emergency."
Mu Jiu frowned. In her previous life, she had no memory of the northern part of the Flour Country.
Probably because this is a confidential mission of the base.
Just like going north to hunt animals, you have to go to the strategic granary, which is not something that people at the bottom can access.
But Mu Jiu knew very well how dangerous it was.
After all, it was a lawless area before the end of the world, a slaughter paradise for murder and robbery.
Mercenary gangs that respect themselves are definitely not good people.
"How long do you expect Commander Fu to be gone this time?"
What Mu Jiu was worried about was that the extreme weather at the end of the world might soon change.
"The estimated time is two months. After all, the area is full of mountains with an altitude of 1,000 meters, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Miss Mu is so interested, do you want to join the special forces and go on missions with me?" Fu Hengyuan asked.
Mu Jiu waved his hand, "I value my life very much! I heard how horrible that place was before the end of the world, Commander Fu, be careful on your journey!
When Commander Fu comes back from wiping out the gangs in the south, I will prepare a big box of fruits and vegetables to welcome you!"
Flowers are blooming everywhere in the farm greenhouse, and the first batch of fruits and vegetables can be harvested soon.
How could she leave her job and go out? This is not doing her job properly.
"Okay, I'll take your good words! If you have any problems, go find Duan Ran and he will help you solve the problem." Fu Hengyuan said.
Fu Hengyuan went out, and the farm was unusually quiet for the next period of time.
Everyone carefully takes care of everything on the farm step by step, waiting for the vegetables and fruits to ripen.
But outside the farm, not many people are optimistic about the progress on the farm.
Even because Mu Jiu enforced a military-style closed-door management and did not disclose any information to the outside world, some people who could not sit still began to spread rumors.
After all, it is something that agricultural experts have spent nearly a year trying to accomplish.
How could she, a woman of unknown origin, do it?
They said that Mu Jiu brought a bunch of rabble who were doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun within the walls, and that they were parasites in the base.
On the contrary, because Duan Ran handled the farm affairs in a low-key manner, no one cared about the mistakes made by the previous group of experts.
Mu Jiu stayed inside the wall and knew the situation outside clearly.
But she doesn't care. The mouth is on other people's faces and she can't control it. Being slapped in the face by facts hurts the most.
More than a month later, at the end of the third year of the apocalypse, the first batch of fruits and vegetables from the base farm began to be picked.
Mu Jiu had already thought about how to distribute the vegetables and fruits after the harvest. She divided the total harvest into two halves.
A small half is handed over to the base in the form of fresh fruit as the result of the farm's work to shut up Youyou.
Let everyone know that the farm that cost a lot of resources to build is not useless, it’s just that the previous experts were too useless.
The rest are mostly dehydrated and dried into dried vegetables and fruits and kept for the farm’s own use.
On the one hand, fresh fruit is not easy to preserve and takes up space, so drying and storage can better cope with the arrival of extreme heat.
On the other hand, Mu Jiu didn't want to set too high a starting point for the farm.
Farming is a long-term endeavor.
If any unexpected event occurs in the future and production drops, you will be digging a hole for yourself.
It is better to lower your expectations from the beginning.
But the fact is that being able to grow vegetables and fruits is already a very high starting point.
As for the issue of production, no one would take it seriously at all, as it is a rare treasure anyway.
Mu Jiu will neither treat himself badly nor treat those who follow him badly.
Although Mu Jiu has his own space and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to eat.
But before the next batch of vegetables and fruits are planted, everyone here also needs to eat vegetables, and Mu Jiu certainly won’t pay out of his own pocket to support others.
So Mu Jiu asked Gu Yang to lead people to dig a cellar behind the research building a month in advance to store the packaged dried fruits and vegetables.
The vegetables and fruits watered with the spiritual spring water grow exceptionally well, and the yield is visibly high.
The 200-acre vegetable and fruit greenhouse harvested a total of about 1 million kilograms of vegetables and about 100,000 kilograms of fruits.
Mu Jiu left behind 800,000 kilograms of vegetables and 80,000 kilograms of fruits.
In this way, after dehydration and drying, about 200,000 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables can be obtained.
No matter how these precious vegetables and fruits are handled in the later stage, there is always room for recovery.
After all, even if the 30 or so people on the farm produce 100 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables every day, they can eat them for seven or eight years.
But the farm does not only grow these kinds of vegetables and fruits. Greenhouse cultivation is not related to seasons and at least three harvests can be harvested every year.
As for the one-fifth that is handed over to the base, the top management of the base wants to control it, either by selling it in the first-level resettlement area or by sharing it with the base.
The specific distribution method is not something Mu Jiu can control.
After all, this is a special material that has hardly ever appeared in public in the past three years.
Those second-generation people who think they have a noble status are certainly unwilling to share with ordinary refugees.
It is understandable that people would want to hold on to the limited supply of fruits and vegetables, and the prices would inevitably be outrageous.
Mu Jiu asked Gu Yang to use the wood cut from the mountain to make two exquisite large boxes.
One box is filled with vegetables, including cabbage, spinach, radish, lettuce, sweet potato, potato, beans, pumpkin and winter melon.
The other box contains fruits: blueberries, strawberries, oranges, and tomatoes.
They are all packed in the form of gift boxes, each box weighing about 50 kilograms.
Mu Jiu took Gu Yang, Gu Nuan and Lou Nan to Captain Fu's office on the top floor of the command building.
Knowing that they were delivering finished products grown on the farm, Director Fu Ji received them warmly.
When Gu Yang placed the heavy box in front of the base commander, he was really surprised.
“I can actually grow so many!”
What he saw, both in quantity and variety, shocked Captain Fu Ji.
"Base commander, you can taste the fruit. The seeds have been baptized by extreme cold, and the fruit has become sweeter." Mu Jiu made up a story.
The base commander took out a small strawberry from the box with a little doubt and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the entire taste buds in the mouth and the sense of smell in the nose were soaked in a wonderful sweetness.
The word "delicious" exploded in his mind!
"Minister Mu is truly a young man to be feared! I have to admire you for growing such delicious food!"
Director Fu Ji paced around the two large wooden boxes placed in his office, sighing with emotion.
Mu Jiu was not greedy for credit, he pulled Lou Nan who was standing aside and said:
“Director Fu Ji, it’s all thanks to you that we can grow these fruits and vegetables.
Her name is Lou Nan. Before the end of the world, she was a researcher at the Kyoto Academy of Agricultural Sciences and had rich practical experience.
Not long after the end of the world, fruits and vegetables that could withstand extreme cold were developed.
Before coming to the base, the farm was cultivated by my friend, but it was not as large and well-equipped as it is now. "
"Oh? I heard General Duan Ran report to me about the farm.
But at the beginning of the base, I was too busy to spare any time.
The matters there were handed over to Deputy Base Director Gu, who had experience in planting management.
I didn't know that the farm was originally developed by Minister Mu and a group of aspiring friends!
This was really a coincidence...but now it has finally returned to the right person!
Minister Mu and Miss Lou, you have made great contributions to the base this time.
I will immediately convene a high-level meeting of the base and inform the entire base to commend the agricultural cooperative for its great contribution!
I wonder how many kilograms of fruits and vegetables the farm harvested in total. This must be all of them, right?"
The base commander's question was relatively tactful, and he had already prepared himself mentally.
He thought that the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture would tell him that the two large boxes of fruits and vegetables in front of him were the entire harvest of the 200-acre farm.
After all, the previous wave of experts failed to grow even a single blade of grass.
It's amazing that they can grow so much.
“Base Director, the agricultural cooperative has harvested a total of 200,000 kilograms of vegetables and 20,000 kilograms of fruit this quarter.
They have all been picked, and we are just waiting for instructions from the top leaders on how to deal with them!"
Before Mu Jiu finished speaking, an old man's voice came from outside the door:
“This should be the new Minister of Agriculture!
Little girl, don't falsify the numbers just because you're being reckless and greedy for credit!
200,000 jin, such a huge number!
These are high enough to be included in the commercial cooperatives in resettlement areas at all levels and sold. This is no joke.
I'm afraid that there was too much water in the mixture, so there were a few extra zeros reported!
The base warehouse and the commercial company's income must be recorded in the register, and the data cannot be wrong at all!"
Mu Jiu turned around and saw a strange face, of which he had no impression at all.
It's true that wild boars can't eat fine bran.
Fortunately, she pressed it a little in her hand, otherwise the hat of being ambitious would have been fastened more firmly.
If I had known earlier, I would have deducted more and only handed over one or two thousand kilograms, which would probably be more in line with their psychological expectations.
But the words had already been spoken, and changing them now would just hit the mark of what the old man was saying.
“Please ask the base commander to send us a few large transport vehicles.
A sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables can be delivered to the base’s main warehouse this afternoon.
If you are worried, the leader can come in person and check the numbers to see if I have made false reports!"
Mu Jiu said with a calm smile.
"Old Xue is here, don't scare the little girl.
It’s really not easy to grow such good things!
Come, come over and try it.
I, Fu, have lived for so many years and have eaten countless delicacies from land and sea.
This can be regarded as the most unforgettable delicacy I have ever eaten in the apocalypse!"
Captain Fu Ji took the arm of the old man who had just entered the room and walked towards the two large wooden frames in the room.
Then he stuffed a strawberry into Lao Xue's hand.
"You are old, you have seen all kinds of storms, but you still can't forget it. Are you being unscrupulous when you say this?"
Before Lao Xue could finish speaking, he saw the two large boxes of various fruits and vegetables placed in the middle of the office and became completely furious.
