Chapter 258 Plants begin to grow wildly



Jiang Fei doubted himself for just a second before walking into the yard of the villa.

The flowers and plants that had died due to the hot rain not long ago have now come back to life and have grown to the height of a person's ankle within a day.

The vegetables planted on the east and west sides of the yard also accelerated their growth from the germination stage to the long term.

The plants began to grow wildly.

When the polar day officially arrives, all these plants will wither and die.

It's like a person's last glimpse of light before death.

The crazy growth of plants in my previous life lasted for a whole month. I wonder if the time will be shortened in this life.

Jiang Fei took out a bag of vegetable seeds and scattered them around the yard.

While the plants are growing rapidly, plant more and save them for later sale.

There were more than ten bags of seeds in the supermarket warehouse. Jiang Fei took out four bags and gave them to Jiang Zhengkang and others next door.

One bag for each villa, so that they can plant crops in the yard.

Lu Yu and the other three had not yet finished get off work, so Jiang Fei gave the seeds for villas No. 10 and No. 7 to Su Liuyuan to deliver later.

I stopped by No. 9 and had dinner there.

Cao Xiuhong quickly cooked a big pot of beef noodles and gave everyone a bowl.

But everyone had no appetite, thinking about the unusually tall flowers and plants.

Su Liuyuan's imagination was blown away: "Do you think that plants will mutate like animals and attack humans?"

Jiang Zhengkang: "Don't scare me, kid... I'm old."

Jiang Fei comforted Jiang Zhengkang: "It's impossible for it to attack people. There are no man-eating plants here."

Niu Er said naively: "Why do I feel like this is a good thing? At least we don't have to worry about having no food to eat."

Yao Jin couldn't help but pat his head: "If there is something abnormal, there must be something wrong."

"If the plants stop growing after one crop, we will all starve to death."

After hearing this, they became even more worried and ate their noodles with heavy hearts. Suddenly, their intercom rang.

It was Ling Zhaorui who called the communist channel.

"I just got the news that the plants have mutated and will grow faster in the near future."

"Don't worry, plant mutations are not harmful to humans. On the contrary, they will solve the problem of insufficient food. You can grow some vegetables at home when you have time."

Jiang Zhengkang: "Did the breeding park say when the plants will return to normal?"

"No, but the breeding park and the research institute have predicted that plant mutations may take about the same time as animal mutations, about a month."

"I have to stay overtime tonight, so I won't talk for now."

Ling Zhaorui cut off the communication.

Su Liuyuan sighed: "There is no shortage of meat at the base now, and there will be no shortage of vegetables in the future. The mall's turnover is going to decline again."

"Captain, shall we have some new items?"

Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "I will deliver a batch of tools, fertilizers and pesticides needed for planting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Plants are growing wildly, so we'll definitely let the residents grow them. There aren't many stores selling agricultural products at the base, so we can make some money."

As Jiang Fei expected, the base's radio broadcast the news about plant mutation that night and encouraged residents to grow more vegetables, and the central building would provide seeds for free.

In just three days, the base was transformed.

Wild grass and flowers grew on the once desolate roadside, and the sparse leaves of the trees became dense and lush.

Even long-lost insects and birds such as butterflies, bees, beetles, sparrows, swallows, etc. have reappeared in the human vision.

Every day, residents can hear the chirping of insects and birds and see flowers and green grass. The gloom brought by the previous hot rain has been swept away and they are full of motivation.

The family dug out flower pots, foam boxes, cardboard boxes and other containers to grow vegetables.

If there is not enough space to grow them at home, just plant them in the flower beds in the community.

Pull out any new wildflowers.

What's the use of eating flowers? They can't fill your stomach. Cabbage, potatoes and radishes are more practical. Just looking at them makes people feel at ease.

Residents of the entire base began to plant crops while the plants were growing rapidly, so much so that the agricultural products in the store became more popular than ever before.

The batch of goods that Jiang Fei sent to the small shopping mall three days ago has all been sold out.

Su Liuyuan kept talking about restocking, and only when Jiang Fei promised him that he would come to restock it tomorrow did he shut up.

The next morning, Jiang Fei went to the small shopping mall earlier than Jiang Zhengkang and his friends.

I entered the warehouse through the back door and collected the gold I had recently earned.

System: [Ding——Gold detected: 4100000 grams]

The turnover is not as high as before.

The valuable vegetables and meat products are not selling well, and no rich people come to the top floor recently.

If Su Liuyuan hadn't priced the agricultural products very high, and the mall also sold daily necessities and beverages, they wouldn't have made this much money.

Jiang Fei was not worried.

She believed that the days of making money were yet to come.

After taking out 10 large boxes of planting tools, fertilizers and pesticides and putting them in the warehouse, Jiang Fei went to the first floor of the mall to fill the three empty shelves selling agricultural products to save everyone the trouble of putting them up.

After nearly half an hour, Su Liuyuan and others arrived at the small shopping mall.

Soon after the store opened, many people came to buy agricultural supplies. Jiang Fei stayed to help sell the goods and occasionally heard the customers' conversations.

"Go get two more shovels, and we'll go to the mountains in the suburbs to dig wild vegetables after get off work tomorrow."

"I heard from our neighbors that there are a lot of shepherd's purse, wild amaranth, cattails, and mushrooms growing there."

"Then I'll call all my friends over and try to dig up more sacks."

Wild vegetables are not only rich in plant fiber, have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dispersing knots, but can also be fed to poultry and livestock.

Jiang Fei wanted to go dig some wild vegetables.

I told everyone this when the mall closed in the evening.

Su Liuyuan's leg injury is severe and he is not suitable for mountain climbing.

Jiang Zhengkang, Niu Er, and Yao Jin don’t know what wild vegetables are.

Finally, it was decided that Cao Xiuhong, Han Yang, Jiang Xiaoshi, and Jiang Fei would go to dig wild vegetables together tomorrow morning.

The temperature difference in the mountains is large, and there are mosquitoes, so Jiang Fei reminded them to remember to wear thermostatic clothing tomorrow.

At 6:00 the next morning, Jiang Fei drove a small truck and took the three of them to the foot of the mountain in the suburbs.

Jiang Fei took out the trekking poles, sacks, tools for digging wild vegetables, gloves, etc. from the carriage and gave them to Cao Xiuhong, Han Yang, and Jiang Xiaoshi.

The four of them walked up the mountain along the path.

Wild vegetables and mushrooms such as cattail leaf, bracken, mugwort, chrysanthemum, purslane, shepherd's purse, wild onion, cockatoo, bamboo fungus, and Santa mushroom can be seen everywhere.

Cao Xiuhong's eyes lit up: "These are all rubbish!"

"Come, Xiaoshi, help Auntie hold the sack."

Jiang Xiaoshi came along just to play, so only Jiang Fei, Cao Xiuhong, and Han Yang rolled up their sleeves and started digging.

There were fewer people coming to the mountain in the morning, which made it convenient for Jiang Fei to secretly store the wild vegetables and mushrooms into the supermarket warehouse.

They worked until sunset. Not counting those from Jiang Fei Supermarket’s warehouse, the four of them dug up a total of 10 sacks of wild vegetables and 4 sacks of mushrooms.

They couldn't carry so much in one trip, so the four of them packed it in two batches and loaded it onto the truck.

Throwing away his dirty gloves, Jiang Fei got on the driver's seat and drove towards the Yi'an supermarket.

Cao Xiuhong, who was sitting in the back seat, suggested, "Boss, we dug so much shepherd's purse last night, let's make dumplings tonight."

"Shepherd's purse dumplings are fresh and tender, and taste better than meat dumplings."

Jiang Fei: "Okay."

She hasn't eaten shepherd's purse for a long time.

Arriving at the entrance of the An shopping mall, Jiang Fei and his three companions got out of the car and moved the first batch of sacks in, but they heard an extremely arrogant voice -

"I took the wine with my own hands, why should I pay for it?!"
