It’s actually true!
Mr. Qiao was a little breathless. They had spent most of their lives using their granddaughter's money to subsidize their eldest grandson, but they didn't expect that at the last minute, the eldest grandson would take the initiative to return the money to Qiao Xuejun! Wouldn't their first half of their lives be in vain?
How can I get along with that money-losing thing that brought bad luck to my parents? This won’t do, I must get the things back!
Old Master Qiao was furious, and with the temperature at 40 degrees Celsius at noon, he was feeling suffocated and anxious. Stimulated by Qiao Yaozu's words, he was unable to breathe and fell to the ground!
The old woman was anxious and hurried to help him: "Old man!"
The old woman picked up Mr. Qiao's phone and informed Qiao Yaozu across the street: "Your grandfather has fainted. He is here in the old house!"
Qiao Xuejun was also very surprised and looked up at the surveillance screen.
She just wanted to pull the person back to feel the 40-degree warmth, but she never expected that the person would fall down.
It can be seen that Qiao Yaozu is really irritating.
Qiao Xuejun was surprised for a while, then continued to do her own thing. In the final analysis, it was all their own fault. The sun was so bright, and he was old, but he still refused to admit defeat and insisted on competing with her. What could she do?
After a while, Qiao Yaozu rushed over and took Old Man Qiao away.
For the next few days, neither the two elders of the Qiao family nor Qiao Yaozu showed up. Old Mrs. Qiao sent a message to Qiao Xuejun, saying that Old Man Qiao had become ill because of her and had suffered from heatstroke. He was lying at home and couldn't get up, so she asked Qiao Xuejun to visit him.
Qiao Xuejun ignored her. It was so hot today, it would be so comfortable for her to stay in the underground shelter. How could she possibly go out and suffer like that?
Ten days later, the doomsday that the system warned of arrived.
Qiao Xuejun was a little nervous. She asked the system, "Is there really going to be a doomsday? What if everything returns to normal? I have hoarded so many things, wouldn't I be a clown?"
But there have actually been signs in the past few days.
Two days ago, there were deaths from heat stroke, and many people died from the heat. Then all the authorities around the world ordered to stop work and production, and the official media called on the public not to go out.
Power supply systems have collapsed in some areas one after another, causing serious losses to breeders, farms, orchards, etc., making roads impassable and logistics stagnant.
Many areas have implemented power rationing measures. Some areas have charged high electricity prices after 4 p.m., and some have directly restricted the production activities of high-power-consuming enterprises. In short, various methods have been used to reduce electricity consumption to prevent the collapse of the power grid.
But even so, it is impossible to avoid the situation in many areas where power overload leads to power grid collapse.
Including Gongzhou.
But Qiao Xuejun’s underground shelter was still relatively cool.
It took her two days to plant the potatoes. She used a small hand-held tiller bought at a farm tool store and it took her two hours. If she had done it manually, it would have taken her five days to dig all the soil.
But she did the sowing on her own, which took the remaining day and a half.
She also bought an automatic seed drill for sowing, but considering saving the scarce diesel, Qiao Xuejun just did it manually. It only took a day and a half anyway, so she could afford it.
"My dear potatoes are all planted." Qiao Xuejun looked at the large potato field and imagined that they would be all green and ready to be harvested in two months.
Although potatoes are not a food crop that requires much energy and can be harvested even if planted casually, Qiao Xuejun now has the task of growing 100,000 kilograms of potatoes. She must quickly grow these 100,000 kilograms in order to upgrade the defense function of the shelter.
So she also paid attention to the follow-up care.
She did everything from watering, cultivating the soil, and paying attention to pests and diseases.
However, planting potatoes is indeed very worry-free, because this fertile land has a good water content. Qiao Xuejun has tried it and found that the soil can be balled up in the hand and is not loose, so there is no need to water it during the germination period, but you can water it a little during the seedling period.
There is no water source in the shelter, and food needs to be handed in to activate this function. Qiao Xuejun has stockpiled drinkable water, but it would be a waste to use that water for watering the land.
After all, to irrigate this acre of land, 15 cubic meters of water are needed during the seedling stage, which is equivalent to 800 barrels of mineral water.
The demand is relatively low during the seedling stage, but once a month has passed and the tuber formation and maturity stages have begun, a lot of water is needed. Watering is done twice every ten days, and a total of 50 cubic meters of water is needed. 50 cubic meters is the amount of 2,500 barrels of mineral water. The water she has stored is far from enough!
It is not realistic for her to carry so much water in from outside simply by manpower.
"Xiao Tong," Qiao Xuejun had already given the system a nickname after spending the past few days with it, "Didn't you say before that there was water underground? Can we dig a well?"
Without waiting for the system to answer, Qiao Xuejun said, "Forget it. The old house has water. I'll just go get a water pipe."
After all, digging a well is a technical job and cannot be completed in a day or two. However, connecting water pipes is different. You just need to find the right location underground, dig a hole, and then connect it with a soft water pipe.
System: "Host, 100,000 kilograms of food is needed to load the well function."
Another 100,000 jin.
Qiao Xuejun knew that this system was worthy of being called a granary system, and it did not feel sorry at all for swallowing up the food.
However, her potato yield was only 10,000 kilograms per acre, and a season lasted two months, which was considered a very high yield. But even so, after a year, there was only 60,000 kilograms, and she had no time to save up 100,000 kilograms.
But a year later, the mutant creatures are about to come ashore.
Therefore, the top priority is to increase land and expand production. One acre is simply not enough.
Qiao Xuejun: "Can I exchange it for good farmland?"
System: "Ten thousand catties of grain can be exchanged for one mu of good farmland! The system encourages farming, so there is a 30% discount now. You only need 7,000 catties to exchange!"
