Chapter 406 Planting Coffee Trees
Fortunately, Jingshu downloaded information from major encyclopedias before the end of the world, so it is very convenient to look up information now.
"Coffee contains kahweol and cafestol, which have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Coffee can upregulate anti-toxic biochemical processes in the liver, protecting the body from aflatoxins and other carcinogens."
"Coffee grounds are a natural deodorant. Place them in a container and they'll absorb all sorts of odors. They're also a natural insect repellent. Sprinkling them around your yard can repel insects and ants. Mixing them into potting soil can help plants grow better because of their high nitrogen content. Spreading them on the surface of the soil can also help remove odors and repel insects. Besides that, coffee grounds have many other uses..."
Jing Shu clapped her hands, finally remembering, "Oh, right, coffee has another important role in the apocalypse. It can prevent the spread of the new zombie virus in two years. In other words, if humans are infected with the new zombie virus, drinking some coffee every day can inhibit the growth of rotting flesh.
Although it has no obvious effect on the undead creatures in the apocalypse, it can effectively consume the invasive species two years later.
Besides, these coffee grounds are quite useful. In the years after the end of the world, the smell of rotten eggs will be enough to kill people. If we pile up coffee grounds around the house, will it be less smelly?
In short, coffee is still very useful! ”
Jingshu suddenly knew what to plant with the six extra plots of land in her Level 8 space. She decided to plant coffee! Just from a medicinal perspective, it was incredibly valuable. It could even suppress new invasive viruses in two years. From a waste recycling perspective, to fertilizer, and more, coffee had many uses. It was practically a treasure trove.
"The key is that freshly ground coffee is really delicious. American coffee without milk is American coffee, latte is with milk but no sugar, cappuccino is with whipped milk and cinnamon powder, mocha is with sugar, chocolate and cream, and caramel is caramel macchiato!" Jingshu used to work in a coffee shop because she could drink coffee at half price. Her favorite was mocha. The taste of chocolate milk and coffee was really unforgettable.
"Can I pick up some fallen fruits?" Jingshu asked with stars in her eyes. It had been about 13 years since she last drank coffee.
Eiffel shrugged. "Of course, you can pick up whatever you want from the ground, but don't touch the ones on the tree. They are the boss's treasures."
Jingshu picked up a bag of coffee and was very happy. Unfortunately, she didn't have the tools to grind coffee, and many ingredients were missing. Ah, just imagine being in the world of ice and snow, looking at the snow scene outside, making some coffee and drinking it, and adding as much milk and sugar as she wants. It would be so wonderful.
After picking up the seeds, Jingshu immediately planted all six plots of land. If they didn't grow well, she would come back in a couple of days to steal some seeds. However, she didn't expect to achieve one of her goals so soon.
Xiao Hei's face was full of black question marks. Is it necessary to be so happy about just a few coffee beans? This big guy's thoughts are really hard to understand. The monk rubbed his head. He also couldn't understand women's thoughts.
Eiffel finally brought the three of them to the medicinal material cultivation center.
This place is much more advanced and looks more like a place for scientific research. Some of the cultivation is soilless, and some are simulations of the solar warehouse before the end of the world. In short, there are many ways to cultivate medicinal materials, but none of them work. This situation is even more serious than the Wucheng Medicinal Materials Association at that time. These medicinal materials are born with developmental deformities, and most of them died in the first stage.
"If you can grow all these herbs, you can have whatever you want. Of course, we also have a seed bank where you can go in and pick some to replant. Once you accept this mission, you cannot leave the castle until you succeed or give up. However, your salary will be quite generous, paid like a third-class citizen."
Eiffel offered various tempting conditions, but he didn't say what would happen if she failed. He didn't even ask about or test her level in detail, nor did he worry that she was here to eat and drink for free. Jingshu touched her chin. If there really was such a person, she would probably die miserably.
"Okay, I'll take this mission." Jing Shu didn't have to think too much. She wasn't really here to grow medicinal herbs. If it was high, wouldn't she be able to get access to more good things? Hmm? There would be more choices of things that could go smoothly.
It seems that we still need to give some sweet treats in the early stages.
Both parties had their own plans in mind. Jingshu quickly found a decent job at Austin Castle and quickly got into the work.
Faced with these herbs of the opposite sex, even the spiritual springs in the space might not be able to grow them, so Jingshu decisively started from the seed bank.
Every time they arrive at a place, everyone will use their ID card to swipe it like a door access control, match their iris, and then enter the random verification code received by the other party. The three parties guarantee that it is the real person. This level of security is amazing and basically eliminates any risk of theft.
Even to enter the seed bank, Eiffel had to apply for permission from his superiors, and only Jingshu, who had just joined the company, was allowed in. The seed bank was like a super large cold storage, covered with a layer of ice on the outside. The temperature was very low, and rows of tall shelves were filled with neatly arranged boxes.
Each box has a name on it and even has seeds from various countries!
"This is the largest seed bank in Austin, with 400,000 seeds stored in it. So far, two-thirds of the world's seeds are stored in it," Eiffel introduced.
Jingshu opened her mouth wide. Before the end of the world, she went everywhere to buy seeds. She bought about 10,000 kinds of seeds, which was basically enough for her life needs. She also wanted to save some seeds for the country. She bought all the varieties she could buy at that time and stored them in the space. But when she came to this seed library, she realized that her 10,000 seeds were still a drop in the bucket.
"No, these seeds must be included in our goal this time. The country has suffered a huge loss of seeds over the years, resulting in the extinction of many species. I must keep some seeds." Jingshu has already included these seeds in her pocket, but now she and Eiffel can only watch at the door. If they need anything, a special person will get it for them. Jingshu has already planned to sneak into the seed bank and take away all of them.
"It's a pity that the seed station is remote. I don't know if the sulfuric acid ants can dig holes through the rock. But the temperature is too low. Snakes can withstand it but can't get in..." Jingshu rolled her eyes.
After selecting more than a dozen kinds of medicinal seeds and leaving the seed station, Eiffel arranged Jingshu in the empty medicinal herb planting laboratory and told her that she could eat in the cafeteria for free during this period.
As he was speaking, Eiffel started bleeding from his nose.
