Chapter 422: Hunger-Resistant Potatoes
Han Ying and Lu Yuan went downstairs directly after coming out from Liu Hefeng's place.
When they came downstairs, they saw Chen Feihu waiting by their car with a black bag in his hand.
"I saw your car, so I waited here. Here."
As Chen Feihu spoke, he handed the bag in his hand to Han Ying.
"This is?"
In fact, Han Ying guessed what was in the bag, but she really intended to give this thing to Chen Feihu, not to deposit it.
"This ham sausage is a good thing now. Just eat it secretly by yourself and don't show it to others easily."
The four packs of sausages were given to him by Liu Shaorong, who also told him what happened that day.
So Chen Feihu directly took the four packages of sausages, thinking of finding an opportunity to return them to the two people.
I have been busy these days. When I came back just now, I saw the RV, so I went back to bring down the sausage.
"Do you think I'm just depositing it? It's really for you. If you don't like it, share it with your comrades."
Han Ying didn't take it, but pushed it back.
When Liu Shaorong gave it to him, the bunch of bastards under his command saw it and started to clamor for a share, but they were rejected by Chen Feihu.
He said it was deposited by someone else and cannot be moved.
Those bastards were drooling at the sight, and they were still smacking their lips and muttering about sausages even in their sleep at night.
Although Chen Feihu felt a little sad, he still didn't move.
Now when he suddenly heard Han Ying say that it could be distributed to his comrades, Chen Feihu paused for a long time.
Seeing Chen Feihu's embarrassment, Lu Yuan said:
"Actually, this is an advance payment to you. Our wall was damaged by a meteorite, and we want you to help us check if the foundation is damaged when you are free, and whether it needs to be demolished and reinforced."
When the wall was being built before, Chen Feihu was asked for help and guidance, and they rebuilt it according to his instructions.
But there is nothing that can be done about the wall being destroyed by a high-speed burning meteorite.
However, Lu Yuan did think about asking Chen Feihu to help look at the foundation.
Only if the foundation is solid can the walls they rebuild be able to resist foreign enemies.
"It's just a matter of checking the foundation. Why do you need so many sausages?"
Chen Feihu still felt embarrassed to accept so many things from others, so he handed the bag over.
"Okay, let's talk about the money you paid us for helping us with the fence a few times before."
Han Ying said this as she was about to take out paper and pen from her backpack.
"No, thank you then."
Chen Feihu put down his hand holding the bag and thanked the two of them.
If they really talked about wages, then everyone would become estranged from each other. Chen Feihu knew exactly what they meant.
The two waved to Chen Feihu and got into the car directly.
Han Ying sat in the booth in the RV's living room, tinkering with the things she would give to Lei Minghu and the others when she returned.
Give Lin Ting and Wu Tingfang 10 packs of sanitary napkins each.
There were a dozen wrinkled-looking books, which were for Lei Yuhang and Lin Yang.
Qin Qinghai and Lei Minghu each had 50 small umbrellas.
Two barrels of soy sauce, two packets of chicken essence, a bag of pepper and two boxes of toilet paper were for He Xiu.
In addition, each family will be given 5 tubes of toothpaste.
As for toothbrushes, they were not needed because they had found a lot of them when they were searching for supplies before.
Take out another box of hot packs and share them equally between the two families.
Of course these were not given for free. Han Ying would say that they were all earned through exchanges between her and Lu Yuan.
As for what was exchanged, just say it was exchanged with points.
Han Ying remembered that after Lu Zhengan died, Lu Yuan divided Lu Zhengan's inheritance equally among their families.
At that time, everyone got a lot of points.
Just now at Liu Hefeng's place, the base commander Ke Qin said that the shopping mall will be open in a few days, and that supplies can still be exchanged with points at that time.
After the end of the world, barter is the most common way of exchange, but if it continues for a long time it will increase people's panic.
Only when a unified currency is re-implemented will people feel that their lives will get better.
So no matter how difficult it is, the authorities will open the shopping mall.
After arranging everything for them, Han Ying began to check the things given by Professor Li.
Of course, the two packets of seeds were carefully put away first.
I'll get some more potting soil and plant it directly at home. There's no need to plant it in a special space.
There are two bags of potatoes and a bag of tomatoes in the box.
The two bags of potatoes looked a little different. One bag was planted a short time ago and looked no different from before the apocalypse.
There is another bag whose skin looks darker and thicker.
According to Professor Li, this potato with thick skin has another name, called hunger-resistant potato.
Because if you eat the same amount of other grains and potatoes, potatoes are nearly 100% more effective in resisting hunger than other grains.
Han Ying took out about 20 kilograms of potatoes from the space.
Then they put them together with the m potatoes that took a shorter time to mature, and said that they were all given by Professor Li from the farm.
After putting the potatoes away, I went to look at the tomatoes.
This tomato looks a little different from ordinary tomatoes. The color is not bright red, but a dark purple that is almost black, which is similar to the color of ripe mulberries.
Professor Li said that this kind of tomato cannot be eaten raw, it can only be cooked and tastes good, but it has basically no seeds inside.
Therefore, it is very difficult to save seeds of the new type of tomatoes, and it all depends on luck.
It is very likely that you will not get a single seed in ten tomatoes.
Han Ying opened the packet of tomato seeds given by Professor Li. They looked different from the tomato seeds before the apocalypse. They were much larger, about the size of mung beans.
I roughly counted them and found there were 30 of them.
If it is true as Professor Li said, then these 30 tomato seeds are extremely rare.
Put away the 30 tomato seeds and open the packet of potato seeds.
Han Ying almost laughed when she saw the potato seeds. Why do they look like dragon fruit seeds?
It was the first time that Han Ying knew that potatoes also had seeds. Before the apocalypse, weren't potatoes propagated by tubers?
Professor Li said that if you want to save potatoes for seeds, you need to plant them for at least 5 months, until the potatoes underneath are completely starched, and then the plants will bloom and bear fruit.
m Potatoes have quite a lot of seeds, and each plant can produce at least hundreds of them.
The seeds were too small for Han Ying to count them, but it looked like there should be several thousand in this package.
By the time Han Ying had put away both packets of seeds, she had already arrived at Hongmei Village.
It was already daybreak, but the daytime temperature was only around 40 degrees.
It's just past eight in the morning, and everyone can still accept this kind of sunshine.
Many people were busy repairing their houses on both sides of the road, and rows of container houses also appeared.
The containers are welded together two by two and then welded into rows, which looks quite spectacular.
The two did not get out of the car to take a closer look, but since the authorities know that the temperature may drop in the future, the insulation problem of the container house should be solved, right?
