Zhao Xian paused: "You only asked me to come?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "That's right."
Zhao Xian: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao, for your kindness."
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "You're welcome. I was recovering in the First Base and you took good care of me. I will definitely give you the good stuff first."
I'll definitely give it to you first.
Qiao Xuejun was very frank. Zhao Xian looked at her carefully for a few seconds, then nodded and smiled: "Pumpkin leaves are delicious."
Qiao Xuejun glanced at him and said firmly, "Then there will be no food for you."
Wang Juanfeng: “…”
She looked at Lord Zhao praising the pumpkin leaves for being delicious, but it didn't seem like he was going to have another meal. How did Qiao Qiao understand this?
Zhao Xian seemed helpless as well. He glanced at Qiao Xuejun and finally landed on the pumpkin leaves: "Do you like beautiful shells? I have some in my warehouse."
Some sea shells are colorful and covered with a layer of bright pearls, and can be used as decorations.
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and said, "We can grind it up and put it in the field to supplement the pumpkin with calcium."
Zhao Xian was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression that he had expected, and raised the corner of his lips: "Alright. I'll grind it up and send it to you."
Wang Juanfeng: "...Um, let me ask, Lord Zhao, the beautiful shells you mentioned, are they giant clams?"
She had heard about it in Group 2 and brought a giant clam back to base.
That thing is used for collecting and playing with, and the market value is very high. High-end goods can easily cost tens of thousands. Grind it up to supplement calcium? Although collecting and playing with are not valuable now, it is still a waste of resources to grind it into powder and use it as fertilizer.
But Zhao Xian agreed without blinking, and said he would grind it into powder and send it to him.
Qiao Xuejun: "Giant clams? Giant clams can also come ashore? Fossils?"
Generally, beautiful giant clams can be made into ornaments, but those are the ones that have died and become fossils after years of polishing and jadeification. The shells of living giant clams are hard and brittle, easy to break, and are not suitable for ornaments. In addition, giant clams are protected by law in China and trading is prohibited.
However, this is not China.
Zhao Xian: "It has mutated. I brought it back to study the degree of alienation. It's useless now."
The shells are also similar to jade, very beautiful.
Qiao Xuejun: "Then calcium supplementation is more effective."
Wang Juanfeng watched as the two of them decided to use giant clams to supplement pumpkins with calcium after just a few words, and he felt a little unbelievable in his heart: "...Isn't this too wasteful?"
Qiao Xuejun knew what Wang Juanfeng meant: "Sir, times have changed. Now the greatest value of those things is calcium supplementation."
It's not just giant clams. Jadeite, jade, gems, and other stones are no different from other stones. Even if you take them out to exchange for a bite to eat, you may not be able to get them in return.
Wang Juanfeng: “…”
That's true, but is it possible that Zhao Xian gave her the giant clams as a way of expressing his affection? Is it really okay to just throw them on the ground as fertilizer?
Obviously, Qiao Xuejun never thought that the thing was given to her by Zhao Xian. She just regarded it as a resource given to her by the First Base, and she said it very naturally to use it to supplement calcium for Pumpkin.
Wang Juanfeng glanced at Zhao Xian and felt inexplicably sad.
The carpenter and Kuang Qianli next to him were both more dull than each other. Kuang Qianli even praised his idol: "Qiao Qiao said before that he needed calcium fertilizer. Lord Zhao's resource supply is really timely!"
Qiao Xuejun: “Yes.”
Zhao Xian: "Report everything you want, I'll get it done."
After the meal, everyone felt warm and steamy.
The carpenter cleared the dishes and chopsticks, and Qiao Xuejun said to Zhao Xian, "Lord, shall I take you home?"
Zhao Xian sat for two seconds before standing up and putting on the coat he had taken off earlier.
It's really too warm here. It's not suitable to stay here for too long. It's easy to wear down your will and I don't want to leave.
Qiao Xuejun walked Zhao Xian to the front door.
Zhao Xian turned around and looked at her: "Go back to the house, you are not wearing a mask."
Qiao Xuejun looked at his exposed eyes and felt that she should say something to say goodbye, so she finally said, "Remember to send me the shell powder."
Zhao Xian's eyes curved: "Okay."
·
With the addition of Zhao Xian's shell powder, the pumpkin has sufficient calcium supplementation in the middle stage, which prevents the pumpkin from cracking and improves the toughness of the pumpkin skin. It is not easy to go bad when moved around, and it is not easy to rot in the later stage.
When three months have passed, it is time to harvest pumpkins and there is a bumper harvest.
Four mu of land was used to plant melons. The original yield of this variety of honey pumpkin was about 8,000 kilograms per mu, but Qiao Xuejun produced 400 to 500 kilograms more per mu.
Nearly 35,000 kilograms.
The big truck pulled all 30,000 kilograms of pumpkins in one go, and stopped at the gate of the First Base. The door was opened, and truckloads of pumpkins were transported into the First Base one by one using a forklift.
Qiao Xuejun stood beside the train, watching the soldiers move the melons in, and she also helped to move the melons onto the train.
Zhao Xian stood beside her: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qiao. The melon is very good."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's OK."
She moved the melons onto the cart and told the soldiers who were carrying them: "Don't break the stems of the melons. If the stems are broken, the melons will rot easily."
"Okay, Teacher Qiao!"
The honey pumpkin is a hybrid and improved variety. It has an oval shape, like a gourd, but the head is very large. When the soldiers of the First Base took the pumpkin off the vehicle and transported it into the base, they could hold the whole pumpkin in their arms.
The weather has been pretty good these past few days. Although the nights are getting longer, we can still see some daylight.
Especially today, the scene was grand and attracted the collective attention of the survivors.
'
Although everyone had expected Huo Antu's apology before, seeing a scene like this before their eyes had a completely different impact.
A pile of pumpkins were stacked on the forklift and were being transported into the base. Soldiers who didn't have a forklift used ordinary carts, while other soldiers just carried the pumpkins and ran into the base.
