Hearing this, Zhao Xian's eyes deepened: "Whatever I want, as long as I give you the seeds, you can grow it?"
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and said seriously: "You can give it a try, but under the current circumstances, crops that require a lot of water may be more troublesome. You can plant them, but it's not recommended."
Qiao Xuejun patiently explained: "In the current acid rain environment, the water used for farming must be filtered, otherwise it will not only damage the plants but also the land. But filtering the water here must be used for energy generation, which requires more blue oil."
Zhao Xian nodded: "Got it."
Seeing Zhao Xian pondering instead of expressing his opinion immediately, Qiao Xuejun quietly inquired: "Lord Zhao, you went to see Dean Huo of the research institute. Do you want to cooperate with him?"
Zhao Xian looked up at her and nodded: "He also needs a lot of blue oil."
He also wants blue oil? She knew someone would come to grab the blue oil, and it was Huo Antu, who was doing human experiments!
Qiao Xuejun whispered, "Don't give it to him, give it to me."
She promoted herself: "Look, we have such a solid foundation for cooperation. I am indeed capable of farming, right? I won't cheat you, but some people may not be. They may be swindlers. Why take the risk?"
He boasted quietly and expressed his doubts about Professor Huo directly without beating around the bush. He was really adorable.
Zhao Xian was amused and nodded: "Of course I believe in Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun: "Of course you have to believe me, even if it's just for Baicai's sake."
The smile on Zhao Xian's face faded, and he said seriously, "No matter how much blue oil Professor Huo wants, Teacher Qiao's share will also be provided. Our cooperation comes first, and we will not break the contract."
But if we want to expand the scale of farming, the originally agreed 100 liters of blue oil will not be enough. Zhao Xian's words were just to ensure that the previous transaction went on normally.
But what she wanted to do was to cancel the subsequent cooperation between Zhao Xian and Huo Antu. She also wanted more blue oil.
But this is not something that can be solved by her saying a few bad words about others. Zhao Xian is able to manage such a large base and protect so many people, so he naturally has his own decisions. The fact that he can trust Huo Antu at this stage means that there is most likely nothing wrong with Huo Antu at this stage.
Qiao Xuejun said: "Then you can't give the blue oil you promised to give me to others first."
Zhao Xian promised: "No."
"So should we plant chives? Or something else? Carrots are also fine, or pumpkins. Both can be converted into vitamin A and are drought-resistant, so you don't need to water them too much."
Zhao Xian asked her, "What do you think is suitable to plant? I'll listen to you."
Qiao Xuejun thought quickly and said, "If possible, it would be best to grow a little bit of everything, but resources are limited, so it's better to grow something that has a high yield and requires less water. How about pumpkin?"
"The main thing about leeks is that they are convenient to grow. They can be harvested one crop after another, and you don't have to sow them again for three to five years after planting them. But leeks also need a moist environment, so they need to be watered."
"Pumpkins grow in one season, and early-maturing varieties mature every three months. The yield per mu can reach about 8,000 kilograms, and after harvesting, they have to be planted again. But they don't need to be taken care of too much at ordinary times, and they can be rotated throughout the year."
"Growing leeks requires more blue oil. Pumpkins require 100 liters of blue oil, while leeks require 300 liters."
Pumpkin's consumption of blue oil is mainly light and some watering, but leeks need more watering than pumpkin.
Zhao Xian: "Grow pumpkins."
He made a quick decision: "There are 75 liters of blue oil left from 100,000 jin of potatoes, and 100 liters from pumpkins, a total of 175 liters, which will be delivered in ten days. The remaining potatoes can be taken on the same day, and the pumpkins can be taken in three months. However, plant samples need to be inspected every fifteen days to confirm that the pumpkins are growing normally. Can you do it?"
Qiao Xuejun calculated and quickly decided: "Okay. I will send you the stems and leaves of the pumpkin during its growth process for inspection."
The two reached an agreement with almost no bargaining.
The soldiers next to them were moving cabbages and looked over here from time to time. They saw two people talking in low voices, very close to each other.
Ren Wangwang said: "Captain, the cabbages have been loaded into the car, it's time to go back. Why don't you load Teacher Qiao into the car as well, and you guys continue chatting."
Another soldier replied: "Get on my cart. I'm strong enough to pull it."
Someone immediately objected: "I'm stronger, let me do it. Teacher Qiao, my car is stable! How about you come back to the base with us?"
Zhao Xian smiled and looked at Qiao Xuejun: "Teacher Qiao, thank you for these cabbages."
The soldiers also said: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao, this cabbage is really great."
Although Qiao Xuejun said it was a thank you, the thank you gift was still unexpectedly heavy. The soldiers were not only surprised to receive the expensive gifts, but also touched by being respected.
Saving people is their duty. Qiao Xuejun is not the first person they have saved, nor will she be the last. To be honest, even if Qiao Xuejun does not thank them, they will continue to save her next time she is in danger.
No need for gifts.
But Qiao Xuejun took her gratitude to them to heart and tried her best to give back. Cabbage was very precious during that period, and she still gave out so much.
At first, the soldiers thought that only Zhao Xian deserved the thanks from Qiao Xuejun.
But now everyone has a share.
Qiao Xuejun saw them and was also thanking them sincerely.
Zhao Xian said: "They really like Teacher Qiao's gift."
He looked at the cabbages piled up in the car and said to Qiao Xuejun, "Let's go. You can go into the house."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
The soldiers also called out to Qiao Xuejun: "Teacher Qiao, come back with us, we'll have cabbage today!"
Zhao Xian looked at them and scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense. Teacher Qiao is responsible for bringing you here, and he also has to send you back?"
