Chapter 7 Planning
To grow the staple food, one of the flower beds was filled with water and plowed into a paddy field, ready for growing rice, while a small flower bed next to it was used to grow wheat.
Rice is used as staple food and wheat is used to make pasta.
With the staple food, of course vegetables are indispensable. I specially selected a low-fenced flower garden to plant them. According to the current season, I found seeds from the storage room and planted them. Now it is autumn, and I can plant radishes, cabbages, mustard greens, tomatoes, and onions, garlic and peppers have also been planted.
Although Ye Li did not choose to work in agriculture, her farming-mad father would call her to help in the fields every time she went home during the Chinese New Year or other holidays, so she was very adept at doing these farm chores.
There are sweet potatoes in the storage room, and Ye Li has also set aside a piece of land specifically for growing sweet potatoes. The sweet potato leaves can be fried and eaten, and the fruits can also be used as a staple food.
Of course, it can’t be done in one day.
Today, Ye Li just planned it in his mind, moved out the seeds he needed, and roughly turned over the soil in the flower bed. The soil was very thick, but because it was dry, the flowers and plants in it withered.
Ye Li brought water from the reservoir into the flower garden, moistening the soil in the flower garden and making the "dead" soil "come back to life".
Time passed quickly and it was dark before I had done much.
In such an isolated city, facing man-eating zombies, she has to live quietly.
After closing the doors and windows of the balcony, he pulled the heavy curtains.
Ye Li turned on the light in the room.
There is a small desk next to the sofa, the bookshelf behind it is filled with books, a very old desktop computer is placed on the desk, and the leather chair has a dark color.
There is electricity here, so Ye Li walked over and wanted to try if the desktop computer could still be used.
I plugged in the plug and pressed the button to turn on the computer. The computer made a sound, then lit up and the Microsoft system logo appeared.
"It actually works!" Ye Li was delighted. The computer started up very slowly because it had been stored for too long, but after starting up, it ran at a decent speed.
Of course, the Internet cannot be connected. What kind of Internet can there be in a doomsday world?
There are a lot of miscellaneous files on the computer desktop, which seem to be the work files of the original owner.
However, one of the folders is named animation.
Ye Li clicked on it and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were more than twenty cartoons in the folder.
Click on a cartoon subfolder to watch the complete cartoon.
Ye Li clicked on the first episode, and the playback software immediately popped up on the computer desktop and started playing the cartoon.
Although the cartoon is simple, it is full of childish fun. Even when Ye Li is bored, he can still watch it with great interest.
I think this should have been downloaded by the original owner for his child to watch on the computer.
That's good, it can help her kill time in the boring days to come.
Ye Li stood up and looked through the books on the bookshelf behind her. They were all world classics, many of which she had always planned to read but had not had time to.
This place is full of surprises.
"Gurgle..." Feeling hungry, Ye Li put down the book in his hand, turned around and went to the kitchen, rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, cleared out the inedible food, and re-planned the daily rations before the harvest.
Ye Li opened the door of the outermost cabinet and found a metal box inside. She took it out, unlocked the box, and found that there were many eggs stored in the box. Each egg was wrapped in a special material with an advertisement saying that the egg had a permanent shelf life written on the packaging bag.
Ye Li quickly tore off one of the packages, took a clean bowl, beat the eggs into it, and then picked it up and sniffed it. The smell and color of the eggs were normal. She couldn't wait to fry the eggs in a pan and eat them, but because the cooking oil was expired, she could only fry them dry.
Ye Li stopped cooking when the egg was fried until it was golden brown. He picked it up with chopsticks and took a careful bite. It tasted delicious, just like a freshly laid egg.
Amazing! I never thought technology would be so advanced in 2132 that eggs could be preserved forever!
Ye Li left hungry and immediately opened another package, intending to fry another egg.
While cracking the eggs, Ye Li paused. An idea popped into her mind. Since these eggs were preserved so well, did it mean that if handled properly, chicks could be hatched?
