Chapter 167 Honey Vegetable Appears
Although the snow was heavy, it only lasted for one night.
And after spreading the snow-melting agent, the thick snow outside melted quickly.
At least traveling is no longer a problem.
As the snow slowly melted, Shi Jiaojiao unexpectedly discovered traces of honey vegetables in the snow!
She looked surprised and looked through the telescope for a long time.
It turns out that in this life, honey vegetables grow in the snow, so they only appear after a heavy snow.
Shi Jiaojiao had never thought about it in this way.
Because in the previous life, the extreme cold was not accompanied by snowstorms.
Not long after the extreme cold began, honey vegetables appeared.
It’s like God has left a way of survival for weak humans.
Then why didn’t honeydew appear after the first heavy snow?
When the snow melts, will the honeydew also disappear?
Shi Jiaojiao didn’t understand that the differences between her two lives were increasing, and she could only take one step at a time.
She handed the telescope to Mu Ci and briefly explained the function of honey vegetables. Of course, she did not forget to add at the end that these were all what she saw in her dream.
Mu Ci listened quietly, nodding from time to time.
In that dream, he was almost always with Jiaojiao.
So, of course he also knew Micai.
However, there was no sign of it on his face.
It was like seeing this new species for the first time.
The two contacted the 19th floor via intercom and prepared to go out.
Since honey vegetables appeared at a different time, does their function remain the same as in the previous life?
These can only be verified after the honeydew is obtained.
The emergence of honey vegetables has also attracted the attention of many people.
In the vast white snow, a few emerald green grasses stand out.
How long has it been since you last saw green plants?
However, no matter how excited everyone was, no one dared to be the first to try it.
After all, natural disasters happen frequently, who knows what that grass is?
What if it’s poisonous?
Tang Wei and Wang Jia also had this worry, but seeing how calm Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci were, their inner anxiety dissipated a lot.
At this time, four people were surrounding a small honey vegetable.
"What on earth is this? How can it grow in the snow?" Tang Wei asked with curiosity.
Shi Jiaojiao dug up the snow and pulled out the honey vegetables.
Holding the honeydew in her hand, she observed it carefully.
Under the reflection of light, the transparent bubble cells on the surface of the honey vegetable are crystal clear, as if covered with a thin layer of ice.
From the shape to the touch, it is exactly the same as in the previous life.
Wang Jia couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful, it looks like a plant that only appears in a fairy tale world."
Shi Jiaojiao used her fingertips to gently break off a small piece of the leaf. Before anyone could react, she stuffed the small piece of leaf into her mouth.
When Wang Jia saw this scene, she was so scared that she almost jumped up. She reached out to pry open Shi Jiaojiao's mouth and quickly took out the grass.
Mu Ci was also startled by Shi Jiaojiao's sudden action. If his throat wasn't so thin, his heart would have jumped out of his mouth.
He put his hands behind Shi Jiaojiao's back, as if he would immediately use the Heimlich maneuver to throw her upside down if he saw something wrong with Shi Jiaojiao's expression.
Fortunately, the danger did not occur.
Shi Jiaojiao swallowed it and savored it for a moment: "It's edible."
Mu Ci put his hand down, his face turned pale, and his whole body exuded displeasure.
At this time, Shi Jiaojiao noticed that Mu Ci's face couldn't be darker.
She pursed her lips.
I made sure that the honeydew was exactly the same as in my previous life before I dared to eat it.
After all, at that time she was barely surviving on honey vegetables.
No one else could recognize it except her.
"Even if you can eat it, you can't be so reckless. You scared me to death." Wang Jia patted his chest, his face full of fear.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled.
Since it is certain that it is edible, we need to collect it in large quantities.
This is food rations.
It’s a matter of life and death!
However, although the area of the community is not small, there are not many honey vegetables.
Several people had to search carefully before they could find one.
After going around the entire community, I only found more than fifty plants in total.
The four of them gained a lot.
But that’s because there are hardly any people in the community!
If the others didn't enter the heating point, they would have to beat their dog brains out for these dozens of honey vegetables.
Several people stayed outside for quite a long time, and the breath they exhaled condensed into ice, sticking tightly to the masks and scarves on their faces.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a small stainless steel bottle from her pocket and took a sip. The hot liquid slid down her throat and finally reached her stomach.
When she finished, she passed the bottle to someone else.
This is filled with white wine. When you can't bear it anymore, take a sip and your body will soon feel the warmth.
After arriving home, Shi Jiaojiao called Qin Jun directly.
Explain the shape and taste of honeydew one by one.
After Qin Jun heard this, he wiped his cold sweat and said, "You are too impulsive. No matter what the situation is, you must put your own safety first. We will take care of other things."
However, the emergence of honey vegetables can indeed alleviate some of the pressure on the officials.
The Qin army reported the news directly.
Soon, the authorities took action.
This wild grass is still named honey vegetable in this life.
There are not many honey vegetables, but it doesn’t matter. The country has so many talented people, can’t they research the conditions suitable for its growth?
In fact, as for food, the country has been conducting research since it received anonymous information.
But the time is too short.
Moreover, the weather is so changeable that even potatoes and sweet potatoes, the most resilient vegetables, cannot survive.
A number of cold-resistant potatoes have been developed, but they are bitter and astringent, and also slightly toxic.
If you eat too much, your whole body will become numb.
The emergence of honey vegetables has brought a new direction to the research institute.
If grains can’t grow, what about flowers and plants?
There are so many plants that are non-toxic and edible. I don’t believe that you can’t find a few that are easy to grow and filling.
The official also announced that honeydew is edible.
For a moment, all the survivors were as happy as if it were New Year.
With the new rations, it proved that they could continue to survive for a while longer.
More importantly, this also proves that humanity’s path to survival is not completely cut off.
Honeydew is a way of survival left by God.
Although everyone received the message, the temperature outside was too low and if they didn't have enough warm clothes, they wouldn't be able to go out and look for food.
Instead, he went out to die.
The authorities clearly understand the survivors' predicament.
Soon, some thick winter clothing was put on the shelves at the purchasing point.
You can trade with materials or with the points in your ID card.
Some people are reluctant to give up their supplies or points and are hesitant.
Some people have made a quick decision.
As soon as winter clothes are put on the shelves at the purchasing point, I rush to exchange them.
How many survivors are there in the entire S city, and how many winter clothes are there?
If you go too late, you may not be able to change it.
The purchasing point has been very busy these days, and the survivors have also given it a new name.
Supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, Shi Jiaojiao was unaware of the excitement in the heating area.
She looked at the balance in Jinwu's account and fell into deep thought.
Is this what it means to plant flowers with care but have them not bloom, but to plant willows by accident and have them grow into a shade?
