Chapter 18: The Evolution of Stingy Vegetables
In just a few breaths, the flower fertilizer in front of me became visibly less, and finally only a thin layer remained.
Looking at the wild vegetables nearby, they suddenly became lush and new wild vegetable seedlings popped up one after another.
However, when Xu Xinxin looked at these newly grown wild vegetables, she always felt that they had a flavor.
After the fertilizer was completely absorbed, Xu Xinxin said, "Big Wild Vegetable, look, you've grown so many wild vegetables. Can I pick some?"
The wild vegetable leaf nodded in the wind, and at the same time, the little orange cat's "translation" also reached Xu Xinxin's mind.
"Over there, you can pick the common wild vegetables over there."
The Evolved Wild Vegetable nodded, and Xu Xinxin immediately responded: "No problem, I'll pick whichever side you tell me to pick."
After she finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and went to pick wild vegetables.
Last time, she filled two cubic meters with wild vegetables and earned about 3,000 points. This time, even if she only filled half of it, it was still very...
“Why are you not allowed to continue picking?”
Xu Xinxin was picking wild vegetables excitedly. Just as she laid a layer of foundation on the space, the wild vegetables evolved and began to drive people away.
"You can't pick them anymore. If you do, we'll be bald again!"
The evolved wild vegetables were so precious that Xu Xinxin would not be allowed to pick any more of the ordinary wild vegetables grown from the roots of its "descendants".
Xu Xinxin estimated that the wild vegetables she had just picked weighed only about 20 to 30 kilograms, which was really too little.
If it is sold at the price of 5 points per kilogram, it would only sell for more than 100 points.
She still had to take the bus for nearly three hours to and fro, which was too time-consuming and not worth the trip.
"Wild vegetables, you are the best wild vegetables in the world, can you let me pick some more?"
Xu Xinxin began to act coquettishly towards a wild vegetable and said all kinds of nice things to it.
"No, no, unless you give me another bag of fertilizer!"
"Can."
In order to preserve the harvest as much as possible, Xu Xinxin said generously: "I'll give you two more bags of fertilizer, but you have to let me pick more wild vegetables."
This time the evolved wild vegetables did not stop her, and nodded at her desperately (with pointed leaves).
She took out two more bags of flower fertilizer. This time, the evolved wild vegetables really allowed her to pick more, but the amount she picked was less than 1.5 times the amount she picked before.
Xu Xinxin was a little angry: "Wild vegetables, why are you getting more and more stingy? I gave you two more bags of fertilizer, but the leaves you picked were less than twice as much as before, not even 1.5 times as much."
"No more picking. You can't pick it anymore. If you keep picking it, you'll really become bald."
"Then I won't bring you fertilizer next time." Xu Xinxin said angrily.
"Then... next time my seedlings grow again, can you pick some more?"
Maybe it was afraid that Xu Xinxin would really not bring it fertilizer, so the evolved wild vegetables gave in.
However, this time I will not allow you to pick even one more leaf, no matter how hard you try.
"Stingy wild vegetables." Xu Xinxin snorted.
The wild vegetables in her space, at most, weighed a little over 60 kilograms, and were worth only 300 points.
For such a small number of points, she had to make another special trip, which was a waste of time.
It seemed that she could no longer count on making money from selling wild vegetables. She still had to improve her abilities as soon as possible and make money by promoting the growth of plants and selling vegetables.
…
Xu Xinxin went home and put the remaining fertilizer in the kitchen, and covered it with grass to block the smell.
Then she spent more than an hour running to the supply and marketing mall again.
There were a total of 65 kilograms of these ordinary wild vegetables. After Xu Xinxin tested the quality, she put them in a bamboo basket and went directly to find Sun Kunpeng.
Xia Runlin is no longer here, and Sun Kunpeng is the only one in the spacious shop.
Seeing Xu Xinxin coming again, Sun Kunpeng said happily, "You're here again... Ha, the wild vegetables are still so fresh, you can tell at a glance that they were just picked.
Sister, you really have all the good stuff in your mind for me, your brother. Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Sun Kunpeng warmly welcomed Xu Xinxin into the store, ordered all the wild vegetables, weighed them and paid, a total of 310 points.
Sun Kunpeng sighed at the freshness of the wild vegetables and said, "The wild vegetables this time are fresher than last time, but the quantity is not large.
But this is normal. There are more energy substances in the air recently, and many vegetables have mutated. It is difficult to harvest many ordinary vegetables.
In two days, if it rains again, all the energy substances in the sky will be brought down, and I guess there will be even fewer ordinary vegetables."
"Who said it wasn't?" Xu Xinxin sighed and quickly got to the point: "You said it's going to rain in two days?"
"Rumor has it," Sun Kunpeng said, glancing around, then leaning over to Xu Xinxin's ear and whispering, "I have a buddy who works at the Meteorological Bureau, and he said it's likely to rain recently. It will be sunny for a while, and then it will be the rainy season. We have to stock up on some supplies in the next two days."
The plum rain season after the disaster is different from before.
With the arrival of rain, energy substances from high altitudes will also fall down. At that time, not only will ordinary plants be prone to mutation, but the mutated animals in the wilderness will also become more powerful and violent.
If we are not careful, a beast tide might come.
Xu Xinxin suddenly became nervous and said, "Didn't the rainy season always start in April? How come it started half a month earlier this year?"
"Who says it's not true?" Sun Kunpeng also sighed, "A lot can be done in half a month. Now everyone is not ready, and it will be difficult later."
After learning such important news, this time, Xu Xinxin didn't feel sorry for the money at all. She spent 100 points to buy 200 pieces of honeycomb coal, and spent 66 points to buy 60 kilograms of "-5" quality mutant rice.
If her space was not big enough, she would have to buy some more honeycomb coal to feel at ease.
It’s going to rain, so I need to prepare more underwear and more clothes hangers, otherwise the clothes won’t dry.
This cost her another 100 points.
Two more bags of chicken feed, and another 200 points gone.
There are also various seasonings... Never mind, just spend 20 points to buy a few bags of salt and MSG, and buy the others later.
This cost her a total of 586 points.
This time, she earned 310 points. After deducting the points she just spent and adding the previous balance, she only had 485 points left.
Why is it that the more money she makes, the less money she has left?
That's it, there are still many things I haven't bought.
After she returned, she had to build a shed for the vegetable field she cultivated to block the rain. Otherwise, there would be too much energy in the rain, and the evolved plants would not be able to absorb it all at once, and it would be easy to "crack".
You need to prepare more dry firewood in the kitchen so that the kang can be burned when it rains, otherwise the house will be too damp and people will easily get sick.
Oh, it’s so troublesome when it rains. There are suddenly so many things to do at home and there is not enough time.
After shopping, Xu Xinxin hurried home.
She put away the things she had just bought and was about to go to the nearby Yushan Mountain to pick up some firewood when she heard a burst of intense "cluck...squeak..." sounds coming from the chicken coop.
The escaped male vole actually chose this time to come.
It's so annoying. It always causes trouble for her.
