Chapter 237 What to Plant
The third piece of news was that the Qinghe Alliance was going to set aside some food to support Yujing Country. Of course, the reason was made clear to the people, and everyone expressed their understanding.
The fourth piece of news is the invention of scar removal cream, which is really good news for people with disfigured faces.
Although the scar removal cream produced by the research institute can only restore about 80% of the disfigured people's appearance, this 80% recovery rate makes those who live with the shadow of disfigurement cry with joy.
Moreover, because scar removal creams are made of precious medicinal materials, the price will naturally not be cheap. But in order to allow more people to live an ordinary life, Qinghe Alliance directly allows patients to receive it for free based on their medical records.
However, citizens who are disfigured due to other reasons can also purchase it at the original price. The Qinghe Alliance has no restrictions in this regard.
After knowing the news, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stopped paying attention to it because autumn planting was about to begin.
The two no longer thought about the bugs in the ground. After all, once the Qinghe Alliance spread the seeds of Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Clover, and they sprouted and grew, the bugs in the ground would no longer pose a threat.
However, when they were farming, they still mixed some silverheart clover seeds into the grain seeds, so that it would not be too abrupt if they sprouted together.
Moreover, during the growth process of grain, the Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Grass will only be treated as a weed. After the grain is grown, it will be time for the Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Grass to wither.
However, this time, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan did not let Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong go. They found a time when they were resting and the four of them went to Qingning Mountain together.
When he arrived at the field, Zhang Heping was dumbfounded. "Why are there so many corn stalks?"
Chen Yan understood Zhang Heping at a glance, "In the early days, we were in such a hurry that we only cared about picking corn. Who would care about the corn stalks?"
"Why don't you cut them down after harvesting?"
"Qiao An and I have acquired four acres of land. What else do you want? Don't be too greedy!"
"Hehe, I just thought that you guys would finish what you started, so well, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Zhang Heping said this without thinking much, but after Shen Yanming said this, he felt a little guilty.
But after saying that, Zhang Heping went to cut the corn stalks.
Ji Kangyong ignored Zhang Heping. He looked at the bag that Shen Yanming brought and asked, "What are we going to plant this time?"
"Let's plant cabbage and radish. These two vegetables are planted in autumn, grow fast and are durable. Qiao An and I also plan to plant an acre of wheat."
"Wheat? We can grow wheat here?" Ji Kangyong asked in surprise, "Why do I remember that we grow rice here?"
"Ah? Really? Haha, I just thought that Qiao An and I couldn't eat so many vegetables, so I thought of using half of the land to grow food. Isn't this winter planting wheat?"
Ji Kangyong didn't know what to say when he heard Shen Yanming's words, "Then you can't mess around. What if it doesn't grow after it's planted?"
"It's okay, just treat it as planting for fun. Qiao An and I will have no shortage of food."
Ji Kangyong looked at Shen Yanming's determined look, thought about it and followed his lead.
But when it came to planting his one acre of land, he couldn’t explain why he was in this situation, and he also followed Shen Yanming and planted half an acre of wheat.
As for Zhang Heping, he had long been a follower of Shen Yanming, and he would plant whatever Shen Yanming planted.
However, when they were sowing seeds, they found some small black seeds mixed in with the seeds. After asking, they found out that this was the legendary silver heart clover.
"I got this through Teikyo's connections. Don't you dare tell me about it."
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong nodded quickly after hearing this.
Several people were busy for several days on Qingning Mountain to plant cabbage, radish and wheat. When they were walking back, Zhang Heping drooled at the chickens in the chicken coop.
"Well, can we kill a chicken? I've been tired for several days and need to replenish my energy, right?"
After the locust plague ended, Shen Yanming put the chickens in cages, and the task of feeding the chickens was given to Ji Kangyong.
In fact, it was because the hens had started laying eggs, and he didn’t want to run around every day and change clothes in a hassle.
It would be much more convenient to hand it over to Ji Kangyong. After work, he would go to Qingning Mountain, feed the chickens, and pick up a few eggs.
Ji Kangyong would not eat alone. He would only keep two eggs for himself each time, save the rest, and give a dozen or so to Shen Yanming.
But Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were not short of eggs. They had originally raised them for him and Zhang Heping’s sake, but if they were left for him, he wouldn’t be able to eat them all by himself.
So after receiving it, the two of them pickled the eggs, so that they could be preserved for about half a year.
You can eat these salted eggs in winter when the chickens stop laying eggs.
So when Zhang Heping asked this question, Shen Yanming subconsciously looked at Ji Kangyong.
Ji Kangyong struggled for a while before saying, "Why don't you eat the eggs first? Wait for two months. When the weather gets colder, they will stop laying eggs. You can kill as many as you want."
Zhang Heping nodded in disappointment. He also knew that stockpiling food was the most important thing now. He was just greedy just now.
Seeing Zhang Heping looking listless, Ji Kangyong said, "I have a chicken frozen in the refrigerator that has been there for a year or two. If you don't mind, can we stew it?"
Zhang Heping's eyes lit up. "I don't mind, it's not broken anyway."
In fact, he also had a lot of zombie meat in his refrigerator, all of which he had brought from Qingli Mountain at that time. However, due to his poor cooking skills and being too busy with work, he had never finished eating it. I guess Ji Kangyong was in a similar situation.
Although they went to Qingning Mountain to farm for several days, it didn't seem to cause any movement.
After all, there are still a lot of mosquitoes outside, and we have just experienced a locust swarm. In addition, most people are not good at farming, and everyone has not yet come to their senses and is ready to farm again.
However, after returning home, Bi Qiaoan still posted a Weibo, saying that he went to the fields to plant vegetables today.
Many people asked her, "Aren't you afraid that the crops and vegetables will be eaten by insects? Aren't there still a lot of locust eggs in the fields?"
Bi Qiaoan only had one answer: "We have to try it anyway. What if there is a harvest? You know, food is in short supply right now.
Besides, the Qinghe Alliance is going to plant Silver Heart Hundred Leaf Grass on a large scale, so are they still worried that they won’t be able to kill those pests?”
Think about it, that's right. If you try, there is a possibility of gaining something. If you keep waiting, there may be nothing.
A few days later, when Bi Qiaoan was watching from the balcony, he found that many people were coming in and out, some of them holding farm tools in their hands.
"So, they are also going to farm?"
"Well, didn't you see the news? The Qinghe Alliance reminded everyone to continue farming, and also suggested that if conditions permit, try to plant winter wheat."
Bi Qiaoan burst out laughing when he heard this, "Is this our lucky stunt?"
“There should be a warning that temperatures will drop significantly this year,” Shen Yanming said.
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan fell into deep thought. The winters in his previous life were indeed getting colder every year.
