Chapter 744 Breaking Tradition
There was no firewood at all, so we had to go to the mountains to find dead branches and leaves to cook. But the firewood was wet because of the snow. Not only was it difficult to light, but it also produced smoke.
Not only do I have to endure half-cooked meals every day, I can't even take a shower. Even going to the toilet freezes my butt, not to mention being naked and surrounded by cold air.
This place is simply not a place for human beings to stay.
They posted their experiences online, which drew widespread ridicule.
Some people say that a group of people are making a fuss and are looking for trouble. Others say that it is better to get used to it in advance than to be unable to bear the demands later. In short, there are all kinds of opinions, but none of them are good.
Their misery successfully discouraged some people from making any move. But people did not give up, because some stubbornly believed that the laborers were also in the mountains and had to work in the middle of winter. It was impossible that they lived well while others did not.
It’s hard to say, it might be fake news.
But they didn't know that the laborers didn't live here at all. Since the alliance hired people to work, they had to solve their worries.
The laborers lived in caves and dugouts, which were better kept warm than the small bungalows outside. They also had small earthen stoves and heated kangs, so they were indeed not as miserable as those people.
As a result, many people who think more about it follow one after another and use their own experiences to forge lessons learned through blood and tears.
Well, let’s not talk about them. Foreign heads of state were once again caught off guard by this press conference.
Before they could figure out how to build the shelter, they were besieged by the people, who said that the situation was so serious and the country had not yet come up with an effective plan, and they seriously doubted their own government's ability to execute.
The heads of state were trembling with fear, and they all had no way to express their suffering. Their country was different from Qinghua Country, and the guards did not have such strong execution power, and the people were not united.
The heads of state are bombarded by public opinion every day and have to respond actively. At the same time, they also hate General Li, the ally who always stirs up trouble, even more.
Time flies, and New Year's Day is here in a blink of an eye.
The thing that people feared did not happen, and Qinghua National Security celebrated the New Year safely.
Chen Yanming got up early in the morning to prepare today's meals, including braised prawns, four-happiness meatballs, braised spareribs, eight-treasure rice, spicy crabs, and steamed mandarin fish.
The two babies happily smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and even suggested eating cake.
Bi Qiaoan raised his eyebrows and asked the two treasures: "Why do you want to eat cake? It's so inappropriate."
An An and Nuan Nuan scratched their heads. One of them said, "Because you have to eat cake on your birthday." The other said, "Happy!"
Well, maybe in their minds, festive occasions should be enhanced with such sweet and joyful things.
Bi Qiaoan felt that last year was a good year with good weather and good harvests. So he decided to meet the two babies' requests and prepare a big meal, hoping that this year would be a safe year.
The two babies had a good appetite and started eating with their bowls and chopsticks without the couple's help. They had already learned how to peel shrimps, but they were still helpless when it came to crabs.
The two treasures drooled as they looked at the big crab, and then looked at Shen Yanming pitifully.
Comrade Shen looked at the two babies' white and tender little hands and could only resign himself to peeling crabs for them. However, where there are two babies, there is also Bi Qiaoan. This is something that children cannot envy.
Bi Qiaoan ate happily and felt that such a life was really happy.
"It is understood that the branches of the Qinghua National Research Institute and the guards in various parts of Qinghua Nationality have successfully harvested the first batch of mutant vegetables after hard work. Not only are they delicious, but the yield is also quite impressive.
More importantly, they are more adaptable to the environment than we thought and are less affected by cold air. In the future, we will have more cold-resistant crops." The exciting voice of a female reporter came from the TV.
"Now, let's connect with technicians from all over the country and broadcast live for everyone..."
Bi Qiaoan was attracted by the news on TV. She stared at it intently and listened carefully.
"Traditional crops are generally planted in spring and harvested in autumn. Of course, a small number are planted in winter and harvested in summer. This is closely related to the plant species, ambient temperature, climate, etc.
At the beginning, we also thought that the growth of mutant plants would require more stringent environmental conditions. Therefore, the Alliance required local research institutes and guards to build modern glass greenhouses in the shortest possible time, in order to create the best conditions for mutant plants to grow and produce seeds quickly.
But the research institute did not give up the research. While sowing seeds in the glass greenhouse, they also placed some seeds or tissue culture seedlings outdoors as a control group. Now we can see that except for a few plants with particularly high temperature requirements, the rest are still green.
This means that even in the dead of winter, even without a greenhouse, we will still have food to eat.
Mutant plants have broken our traditional understanding of crops. They are simply miracles!"
If it weren't for the similar appearance, taste, and even genetic sequence, he would have thought it was a new species.
The technicians kept talking about the mutant plants, which stunned Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan.
"Honey, can't it be that spiritual plants are so amazing? In the middle of winter, with the temperature dozens of degrees below zero, they can still grow normally?"
Shen Yanming was also a little stunned, but he observed more carefully than Bi Qiaoan: "Not entirely, you see, the ones that remain green are basically plants that are relatively cold-resistant. Like radishes, celery, and lettuce, maybe the spiritual energy has enhanced their gene expression in this aspect.
And if you look carefully, although they are alive and growing, they are not as strong as those in the greenhouse. "
Bi Qiaoan nodded, but still said: "It's already pretty good, really, I didn't expect the spiritual energy seeds to be so powerful. If it were an ordinary seed, it would have been inactivated by the low temperature."
Watching the emotional reporter on TV describing the process of cultivating mutant plants with great excitement, Shen Yanming regained his composure. He warned Bi Qiaoan with a serious face: "Don't take out spiritual energy seeds casually in the future."
Bi Qiaoan was stunned, then nodded: "I understand!"
The couple ignored the sound of the TV and rejoined the group of people eating. Today's meal was really rich, delicious and beautiful.
After eating half his fill, Bi Qiaoan took out a mango, peeled it swiftly, and put it into his mouth in no time.
An An and Nuan Nuan also chased after them when they saw them, but one wanted to eat lychees and the other wanted to eat cherries.
Bi Qiao was satisfied with the security department and asked Shen Yanming by the way: "What do you want?"
Shen Yanming shook his head and took out the leftover durian meat.
An An Nuan Nuan pinched her nose, frowned deliberately and said, "Stinky!"
Shen Yanming smiled without saying anything and fed each of the two babies a mouthful.
