Chapter 41: Bean Sprouts to Eat
Lu Lin started cooking, and Yang Qing went up to the top floor with a rechargeable desk lamp. After feeding them for a few days, the two rabbits seemed to have grown a little bigger and were rounder than before.
Snow-white fur, red eyes, so cute.
The seeds in the vegetable pot have sprouted and are already more than an inch tall. It seems that we will have vegetables to eat soon.
Oh, right, my bean sprouts!
Yang Qing slapped his forehead, having completely forgotten about the bean sprouts. Could they have all dried up?
Yang Qing hurriedly watered the vegetables, took some grass from the space for the two rabbits, and hurried downstairs.
"It's over, it's over..." Yang Qing muttered as he ran to the kitchen.
"What's over?" Lu Lin couldn't help but ask.
"I forgot about the bean sprouts and I don't know what happened to them."
Lu Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, I water them every day, they won't die."
Yang Qing opened the black bag that contained the beverage bottle and saw a can full of bean sprouts. Each of them was more than three inches long, and because they had not been exposed to the light, they were thin and long.
"It's ready to eat!" Yang Qing was overjoyed and wanted to pour out the bean sprouts, but they were stuffed too tightly and he couldn't pour them out at all, so he had to cut open the drink bottle.
All the bean sprouts fell out and were placed in a pot. I didn’t expect there were so many.
Yang Qing took out one-third, divided the rest into two portions and put them in plastic bags, "I'll give some to them too."
"Go ahead, I'll fry the bean sprouts and we can eat now. Don't stay with them too long." Lu Lin said.
"Yeah!" Yang Qing responded.
He knocked on Leng Yi's door first, carrying two bags of bean sprouts.
Leng Yi opened the door and Xiaoxue squeezed over from the side. Yang Qing stroked its head and handed the bean sprouts over.
"The bean sprouts I sprouted a few days ago are ready. Would you like to try some?"
Leng Yi took the bean sprouts and said "thank you", then turned around and looked back, "I have peanuts, can I eat them after they sprout?"
"Sure!" Yang Qing nodded. In the past, when he went to a hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot, there was always peanut sprouts as a dish.
Leng Yi took a small bag of raw peanuts and gave it to Yang Qing. "Here, take this. You can sprout or plant it as you like."
"Thank you!" Yang Qing smiled.
Then he went upstairs and gave the bean sprouts to Wang Min.
"You actually did it?" Wang Min was pleasantly surprised. "We were just talking about how nice it would be to have some vegetables to eat, and I didn't expect you to deliver it."
"By the way, how are the vegetables upstairs?"
Yang Qing smiled, "They've all grown. They should be edible in about ten days. I'll pick them for you then."
"Then I'd like to say thank you in advance!" Wang Min said with a smile.
When others saw Yang Qing coming to deliver bean sprouts, they also expressed their gratitude.
Yang Qing went downstairs, and Wang Min sighed, "Yang Qing is such a good person."
"I'm curious, how did you two meet in the first place?" Gao Yang asked.
"Yang Qing rented that apartment, and since she couldn't live alone, she looked for a roommate online. She specified that she wanted a female roommate, and that she only wanted females, so I came."
"I saw that the people were easy to get along with and the rent was cheap, so I decided to stay. I came first, and Shengnan came later."
Li Shengnan nodded. "My relative introduced me to the auxiliary police job, and I came here after seeing the job posting online."
"Before, we were just gentlemen, and our relationship was quite casual. I didn't expect that in the end times, Yang Qing would take extra care of us."
"In fact, she saved my life."
"What happened?" Gao Yang was very surprised. He had never heard Shengnan say what had happened to her.
Li Shengnan then told the story of how Yang Qing pretended to be sick to trick her back, and then tied her up again for fear that she would run away.
"It seems that true friendship is tested in times of adversity. This person is worth making friends with!" Gao Yang said.
Li Shengnan and Wang Min both nodded, so now they generally would not object to any decision Yang Qing made.
When Yang Qing returned to Room 701, Lu Lin had already put the food on the table. Seeing Yang Qing holding something in his hand, he couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
"Leng Yi gave me peanuts, saying they can be used for sprouting or planting. I thought of planting some in the space as well, so I can grow a few more vegetables. After dinner, shall we go in and plant vegetables together?" Yang Qing said.
"Okay!" Lu Lin nodded.
After dinner, the two entered the space and found a piece of land in the backyard.
Cut the grass on top and put it aside. You can bring it to the two rabbits when you go out later.
Then the two of them began to plow the soil. The soil was very fertile, all black soil, which must be very good for growing crops.
Yang Qing took out the potatoes he had bought at the vegetable market. He had bought them in baskets and didn't pick them carefully. Some of the potatoes were green and had sprouts, so he picked them out, cut them, and planted them in the ground.
I planted several rows of potatoes. Potatoes can be used as vegetables or as staple food, and are very popular in the end times, so I planted a little more.
Yang Qing took out some more sweet potato vines, divided them into branches and planted them in two long rows.
Sweet potatoes grow very fast. Their leaves can be eaten as vegetables, and the sweet potatoes they produce can also be used as food.
Then I took out some seeds I had bought at the agricultural product store, including soybeans, peanuts, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I also planted a large patch of Chinese cabbage, which can be eaten when they are young, and when they are older and bloom and bear fruit and produce rapeseed, I can use it to extract oil.
After everything was planted, Yang Qing and Lu Lin watered them with spiritual spring water. They were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.
"Now I realize that being a farmer is not that easy." Lu Lin said while wiping the sweat off his face.
"That's natural. It's not easy for any adult in this world." Yang Qing said.
"What about those rich second-generations?" Lu Lin was unconvinced.
"That was the foundation laid by their father's generation with great effort. If they don't work hard, they will still squander the family fortune. Now that the end of the world has come, those rich second generations won't have a good life either." Yang Qing said.
Lu Lin pouted and said that although she said so, the other person had a deep background and they could not compare with him.
"However, they do have it easier than us." Yang Qing said again.
She had seen it in her previous life. They lived in poverty every day and fought to the death for a piece of bread, but those rich people lived in their own castles, with wine, women, luxury cars and beautiful women. It was simply a world of difference.
Fortunately, I have my own space in this life and many things that ordinary people don’t have. I am not as good as anyone, but I am better than most.
The two took a shower in the space and then came out.
Maybe because I was tired, I slept very deeply that night.
In the middle of the night, he could vaguely hear various noises coming from outside, but Aqi didn't shout and Yang Qing was too lazy to get up.
When I got up the next day, I saw that it was raining heavily again. The fourth floor was flooded and the water had risen to the steps on the fifth floor.
Teacher Zhang, Zhang Nian and Lin Xueting were moving things upstairs and they had almost finished.
Yang Qing stood in the corridor on the seventh floor and asked, "Teacher Zhang, are you all okay? Do you need our help?"
"It's okay, everything has been moved almost completely. No need to bother anymore!" Teacher Zhang shook his head and moved the last item to the sixth floor.
Yang Qing raised her eyebrows. Good things really come to those who do good. Teacher Zhang had taken care of Lin Xueting before, and now that the water level has risen, it was just the right time for them to move into her house. Otherwise, they would have nowhere to go.
