He resisted: "So, even if it's overdue for a day or two, it's okay. We don't have to eat it all right away, right? Let's eat something else today. Oh, right, aren't the potatoes in the field ripe? Can we harvest them? We can roast them and eat them!"
Wang Juanfeng picked up a bag of not-so-spicy dried tofu and tore it open: "Theoretically, that's right, but you should still eat it within the safe and effective period."
As she spoke, she picked up a bag of dry bread and threw it to Kuang Qianli.
The other three started eating, so Kuang Qianli could only accept his fate and follow suit. Dry bread with spicy snacks.
Another crop of potatoes in the planting area has matured, and this time all 6 acres of land can be harvested.
After harvesting two crops, everyone has become familiar with the process. Everyone has become more proficient and the speed is faster than before.
Qiao Xuejun felt at ease looking at the newly harvested potatoes.
The defense function has been upgraded with 100,000 kilograms of grain. Now this batch of potatoes can be used as an emergency reserve. In any case, there is no need to worry about starving to death due to lack of food.
The four of them ate up all the dry bread in the warehouse in two months, and also consumed some of the canned meat. Almost all the snacks in small bags with a shelf life of less than six months were eaten up.
Fortunately, the roe weasel chickens in the breeding area have been breeding normally, and there is a stable supply of high-protein eggs, three eggs per person per day.
However, the eggs of the roe deer are only the size of a thumb, and three of them are not enough to fill you up, but they can supplement your protein intake.
Potatoes are now ripe, too, easing the pressure on food supplies.
The system told Qiao Xuejun: "Host, the attack function of the shelter also requires 100,000 kilograms of food. Do you need to upgrade it?"
Qiao Xuejun: "No hurry."
Now she only has 60,000 kilograms of grain, and there are still three acres of corn that have not yet matured, which will take another month.
After harvesting the potatoes, Kuang Qianli sat by the field and looked at the three acres of corn field over there: "They are growing so tall."
Compared with potatoes, corn is indeed much taller. The Denghai variety can grow to about 2.5 meters.
"Will these still be used as fuel for the shelter?" Kuang Qianli asked, pointing at the potatoes that had just been harvested.
Qiao Xuejun: "I don't know, I guess it won't be used anymore. Put it away first."
They packed the potatoes into burlap bags and piled them in the warehouse.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the pile of potatoes that was as high as a mountain and asked the system: "Do you have a storage function?"
System: "It can expand into a new storage room, which has a certain preservation function and can extend the storage time tenfold."
After it finished speaking, it said carefully: "100,000 kilograms of food."
Qiao Xuejun nodded calmly: "Got it."
No one thought it was expensive!
The system was startled and repeated: "100,000 kilograms of food."
Qiao Xuejun: "Stuck?"
The system asked curiously: "Do you want to upgrade this function?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "There is still half a year until the next disaster period, and if we plant all potatoes, we can grow 300,000 kilograms."
This was calculated based on the minimum output. During this period, she could also set aside some grain for reserve, and use the extra grain to buy land, so that she could grow more.
Before, it was a bit difficult for four of them to be responsible for 10 acres of land, but now everyone is a skilled worker and they can handle an additional four or five acres. What's more, she also has automated tillers and harvesters.
Exchanging 100,000 kilograms of grain for a storage room that can extend the shelf life of food is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator away from light for about eight months. If the time is extended tenfold, it will be almost five years.
Qiao Xuejun carried out her plan, keeping 20,000 kilograms of potatoes for daily reserves, and using the extra 40,000 kilograms to expand the land, and she brought three teammates to continue planting.
A month and a half later, the corn husks became dry and yellow, and Qiao Xuejun knew that this was a sign of maturity.
While inspecting the farmland these days, she pays attention to the condition of the corn every day.
Others followed her and worked in the fields, watering and weeding.
"The corn looks yellow." said Kuang Qianli.
He was the least experienced of the four, so he asked, "When is the harvest? I want to cook the corn."
The carpenter next to him said, "Roast the corn and eat it over a fire."
Wang Juanfeng was the most daring person: "I want to eat corn stewed with pork ribs."
Qiao Xuejun stood in front of the cornfield, observing its condition. She reached out and tore the husk on a corn cob a little bit downwards, revealing the yellow-white corn kernels. The rows of corn were arranged very neatly, and each kernel was full. She pinched the corn kernels with her fingernails.
A black layer appears.
Qiao Xuejun: “It’s cooked.”
As she spoke, she reached out, grasped the corn cob, and bent it down, and the whole corn was broken off.
She tore off the corn leaves and corn silk in a few seconds, and handed the clean corn to the carpenter: "Take it and burn it."
The little carpenter took it with a smile: "Okay."
She ran to the kitchen and planned to make some roasted corn.
Kuang Qianli's eyes lit up and he also came forward to break the corn. But he failed to break it off after trying for a while, but with great force, he broke the corn stalks as well.
He was very puzzled and asked Qiao Xuejun: "Didn't you do it the same way?"
Why does it seem like it’s effortless for him to look at Qiao Xuejun?
Qiao Xuejun stepped forward and demonstrated to him: "Hold here, push hard, and fold it down. It breaks from here."
As she spoke, another one came down.
She stressed: "Cut it carefully, you've crushed the corn."
Kuang Qianli tried several times before he gradually got the hang of it.
For four people, it was relatively easy to harvest three acres of corn and they finished harvesting them in half a day.
Qiao Xuejun grows corn to feed rabbits and pheasants.
Corn is relatively nutritious. The Denghai 605 variety of corn is high in protein and is very suitable for use as feed, which will facilitate her subsequent breeding work.
