Chapter 87 Digging the Earth Early
Although it is very cold outside, there is a big pot burning in the house, so the temperature is not that cold. If we plant some cold-resistant vegetables and radishes, they should be able to grow.
Nan Ci thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this suggestion was very good.
"I have a big stove and a fireplace over there. The temperature is higher than yours. I can try all kinds of things. Do you want to try them too?"
"Okay, okay!" Mu Qianqian immediately agreed, her face full of excitement.
But soon, Mu Qianqian became confused again, "But. There are no seeds and no soil!"
Whether it is the soil or the shops selling seeds, they are all now frozen under a thick layer of ice. Even if they want to get them, they are completely powerless.
Hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Nan Ci was stunned for a moment.
She was only thinking about getting some soil out of the space and forgot to explain its source.
Before Nan Ci could speak, Zhou Ziyang on the side spoke excitedly, "It's not that there is no solution. Companies in high-rise buildings basically grow green plants. Now the green plants are probably frozen to death. Let's just bring back the flower pots and save the trouble of looking for containers."
Mu Qianqian looked at Zhou Ziyang with surprise, "Ziyang, you are so smart! You thought of this!"
Zhou Ziyang smiled embarrassedly, "What's so clever about this? Even if I didn't say it, you would have thought of it, but I just thought of it before you.
However, the soil can still be found, but what about the seeds? "
Nan Ci smiled and said, "I have seeds."
"You have?"
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang spoke almost at the same time, and both looked at Nan Ci in surprise.
Mu Qianqian blinked, "Nan Ci, why do you have seeds?"
"I like farming." Nan Ci explained seriously, "But I don't have a large piece of land, so I bought some planting pots and a lot of seeds.
The seeds are cheap, I bought a lot, and the store gave me a lot as gifts, so I haven’t used them up yet.”
The gene of farming has been deeply engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.
After hearing Nan Ci's explanation, Mu Qianqian nodded in agreement, "I used to think that after my work became stable and my time was no longer so tight, I would plant some flowers and vegetables, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time."
As soon as Mu Qianqian said this, the atmosphere instantly became depressing.
Everything was planned well, but the sudden arrival of the end of the world disrupted everyone's plans.
You don’t feel it when you don’t think about it, but once you think about it, you can’t help but feel sad.
Mu Qianqian's gaze swept across everyone's faces one by one, her eyes changed, and her tone became light.
“If I follow my original plan, it will probably take another ten or eight years before I can complete the mission.
But now, you can complete the plan directly without waiting for ten or eight years. Isn’t it great when you think about it this way?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Mu Qianqian and raised his eyebrows. "You are quite open-minded. But it is better to be open-minded, otherwise you will really have trouble living like this."
Nan Ci deeply agreed with the old Taoist's words.
Life in the last days is indeed very bitter. If you don’t want to be more positive, then living will be really painful. It would be better to be dead.
After discussing it, the four of them ate the noodles cooked in the pot and then cleaned up the dishes together.
While cleaning up the dishes, Mu Qianqian raised her eyebrows with pride and said to Nan Ci, "Nan Ci, let me tell you, I found a very useful way to wash pots. It's to get a basin of snow, put the pots, pans, and chopsticks that need to be washed in it, put on rubber gloves, and rub the snow on the dishes.
Not only does this method save you the trouble of boiling water, it also allows you to wash the dishes very cleanly, removing all the grease.
The only drawback is that it's a bit cold, but compared to the trouble of boiling water and burning firewood, I don't think it's a big drawback. You can do the same in the future."
They lived on the 32nd floor, and there was only the 33rd floor between them and the rooftop.
The door leading to the top floor on the 33rd floor had been opened long ago and had not been locked since the heavy rain. It was very easy to go up and get a basin of snow.
Mu Qianqian had just finished speaking when Zhou Ziyang came back carrying two buckets of snow.
Nan Ci also followed Mu Qianqian's example, put on rubber gloves, and started washing dishes with snow.
Through a thin layer of rubber gloves, I held the snow in my hands, and my hands were frozen cold.
It is a little cold, but just like Mu Qianqian said, it really cleans the place thoroughly.
After washing the dishes, Nan Ci went back to his place and came back with a large bag of seeds.
Inside the big bag are many small green bags with the names of various vegetables written on them.
Mu Qianqian looked at the big bag of seeds with a look of shock on her face, "Nan Ci, why did you bring so many? Do you have any more? We have never planted before, and we don't really know how to plant, so you don't need to give us so many."
Nan Ci put the bag on the table and said, "This is just the beginning. I still have several large boxes over there!"
"How many boxes?"
Mu Qianqian's eyes widened in shock. "You said you bought a lot. I really didn't expect you to buy so much!"
Any normal person would never have thought that Nan Ci would buy so much.
Nan Ci would never admit that she was abnormal. She just said lightly, "Because it's cheaper to buy more."
Mu Qianqian, "."
Mu Qianqian looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and it was obvious that she did not agree with what Nan Ci said.
But Mu Qianqian thought about it and felt lucky again, "Nan Ci, luckily you bought a lot! Otherwise, even if we can find soil, without seeds, it would be useless."
Nan Ci smiled and said, "I can't help it. I just like to stock up. If you are free tomorrow, go find some soil. Right now everyone is busy trying to survive and won't pay attention to the soil problem. But I think it won't be long before everyone realizes this, and by then, it will be more difficult to find soil."
Of course, ordinary survivors do not have the energy or the conditions to look for soil.
But the government and some powerful people will definitely realize the importance of soil.
If Mu Qianqian and the other two want to collect soil, they have to do it as soon as possible.
Mu Qianqian nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Nanci, we will look for it after we go out tomorrow. Flower pots and soil are definitely easier to find than firewood at this time. We don't need too much, and we can't use them all."
Hearing this, Nan Ci glanced at Mu Qianqian and said, "You can't use it all, but you can keep it. Maybe you can sell it for a good price in the future."
Whether selling it to the government or to powerful individuals, you can make a profit.
