Chapter 75 Earthworms



While dehydrating and drying the potatoes, Qiao Xuejun also dries the wood ear mushrooms collected from the planting area.

While sorting the wood ears, Qiao Xuejun began to think about growing mushrooms.

She remembered that she bought some seeds in the farm tool store at the beginning. In addition to seeds of radish and cabbage, she also bought 30 yuan of mushroom bags, which were oyster mushroom seeds. They were very cheap, only 3 yuan for one bag, and she could buy 10 bags for 30 yuan.

Similar to wood ear, it also needs some sawdust or grain residue as a cultivation base.

However, for the four of them, 10 mushroom bags can barely provide for their daily needs, but they still have to eat other food. If conditions are sufficient, she would like to cultivate more mushrooms. If there are 30 mushroom bags, mushrooms alone can support them to fill their stomachs.

To cultivate fungus, the most convenient thing is a plastic bottle. Use a wooden base and fungus strains, overlap them layer by layer, and put them into the plastic bottle. Poke holes in the bottle, and then mushrooms will grow out.

30 bottles, and the growth cycle of mushrooms is just about one month. If you arrange the planting time well, plant one bottle every day of a month, and in the next month, they will grow one bottle after another, and you can have fresh mushrooms to eat every day. If you can't finish eating them, you don't have to worry about them going bad in this weather. You can take them out and freeze them and eat them the next day.

But the thing is there are no plastic bottles now.

There are mineral water bottles in the warehouse, but they are only useful for holding water and cannot be used to hold mushroom bags.

"I'm going to go out and pick up some plastic bottles," said Qiao Xuejun, "and check out the situation outside." Everything else outside might have been picked up, but plastic bottles can be found everywhere as long as you look in enough places.

It's not raining outside now, so you can go out and take a look.

The three teammates were busy, and when they heard Qiao Xuejun say this, they all turned to look at her.

Wang Juanfeng asked her: "Do you want to go out? But there is water outside."

The water outside has submerged the low-rise buildings. The entire town has turned into a puddle and boats can even sail there. Except for some houses that appear to be taller and have exposed their roofs, all other houses are submerged.

The safest place is to stay in the mountains.

The young carpenter said, "Boss, I can make a boat."

Qiao Xuejun reached out and touched her head: "Don't do it yet. You guys get the distiller out first, and I'll go out and take a look at the other things first."

The carpenter asked, "The person who just came to you, the Lord of the 7th Base, will she cause trouble to you?"

Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Maybe, I don't know. But don't worry. I can deal with her."

Qiao Xuejun's expression and attitude when speaking were very natural, and the three teammates were relieved.

Wang Juanfeng thought for a moment and said, "We're just going out to take a look, so I'll go with you."

Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Okay."

The small compartment was very warm. The fire was burning brightly. There were a few pieces of charcoal in the furnace. The temperature on the thermometer showed 18 degrees, and it was still rising. They were all wearing only one piece of clothing.

Wang Juanfeng picked up the coat on the chair next to him and handed Qiao Xuejun's to her: "Put it on before you go out."

Two of them packed up and went out, while the other two stayed at home.

Qiao Xuejun found a linen woven bag from the warehouse.

Before leaving, Qiao Xuejun specifically asked the system: "Shen Xingtang is not around, right?"

System: "The target person Shen Xingtang has not been detected within 200 meters."

Then it should be gone.

Qiao Xuejun took the sack and brought Wang Juanfeng with her.

Just as he was about to go out, the young carpenter suddenly ran out with a plane and said, "Boss, you should take the plane with you. I found that if it is going to rain heavily, the plane will suddenly scream. Take it with you, and if it screams, you should go home."

As she spoke, she handed the rope to Qiao Xuejun.

Qiao Xuejun hesitated for a moment and took it.

During this period, the planer has been raised by the little carpenter. Kuang Qianli and Wang Juanfeng would sometimes take it out for a walk. Qiao Xuejun was too busy. At most, she would add some water to its water bowl when she got up early in the morning. She basically never took it out.

If it can predict the weather as the little carpenter said, he can indeed take it with him.

Qiao Xuejun patted the dog's head: "Be good."

This wolfdog has grown up. When the little carpenter first picked it up, Planer was just a half-grown puppy. After more than half a year, it has grown into the appearance of an adult dog.

Qiao Xuejun took Wang Juanfeng, wearing masks and holding a planer, and went out.

After walking out of the gate, Qiao Xuejun took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the Hongmei Mountain in front of him.

Wang Juanfeng also followed her gaze and looked in the direction she was looking at, then revealed a surprised expression: "What's going on? Are they building a house?"

At the top of Hongmei Mountain in front, Qiao Xuejun saw many people carrying pieces of white steel plates, and some people were carrying long steel bars. They began to build their base at the top of the mountain.

Qiao Xuejun was also a little surprised. She thought they were planning to live in a cave.

Planer was finally able to go out, and he jumped around Qiao Xuejun's feet excitedly. He was very lively.

"Let's go."

Qiao Xuejun took the planer and began to patrol the mountain.

Wang Juanfeng walked beside Qiao Xuejun, passing through the woods in front of the shelter. He looked left and right, and reached out to touch the tree trunks: "I don't know how dead these trees are. I don't know if they can be revived."

Qiao Xuejun also looked at these big trees.

After experiencing extreme heat, they were almost dried up and it was difficult for them to revive. Life in nature is very tenacious, and it can grow again after spring breeze blows.

Just like Chinese scientists discovered ancient lotus seeds thousands of years ago and made them bloom now, if they find the right opportunity, perhaps they will be reborn again.

As for now, there is little hope.

Although it is raining now, the temperature is too low, and it is still not a suitable season for recovery.

Planer walked in front of Qiao Xuejun, sniffing the ground with his nose.

Suddenly it stopped moving, and its nose rubbed back and forth in the wet mud.

Qiao Xuejun squatted down, took out his Swiss Army knife, and pried at the arched part of its nose, and the loose soil was easily pried open.

A brown worm was wriggling.

Wang Juanfeng, who was standing next to him, took a small step back and relaxed his vigilance after seeing clearly: "It turned out to be an earthworm."

At this time, some earthworms actually revived.

"Good stuff." Qiao Xuejun's eyes lit up, and she reached out and picked up the earthworm. She admired the earthworm twisting between her fingers, looked at it twice, and threw it into the woven bag. "Take it home and raise it in the field. You can eat earthworms when you have nothing to eat."

Earthworms are high-quality, high-protein food, especially dried earthworms, which have a much higher protein content than corn. They also contain a certain amount of fat and amino acids.

It can be said to be rich in nutrition.

This thing can also be used for recycling farming. The feed is corn stalks. If there is none, even chicken and rabbit manure can be used to feed earthworms. It is very suitable for doomsday.
