Wu Yue had never seen a video of a thresher, so it was the first time she saw a thresher working.
Looking at the small pile of corn kernels and then at the smooth corn cob, Wu Yue's expression was as if she had discovered a new world.
"It's so fun? I want to come too!"
Wu Yue picked up a corn and threw it in, even squatting beside it and watching it spit out the corn kernels.
Su Nian found it funny, "In fact, you can put in more than one at a time!"
Su Nian had just finished speaking when Wu Yue couldn't wait and picked up corn cobs one after another and threw them in.
There were only two hundred corns in total, and it didn't take long to throw them all in.
After throwing it away, Wu Yue still felt a little unsatisfied, "How come it's gone so quickly..."
It was such a fun thing, but I couldn’t play it for very long.
Su Nian looked at the pile of corn and was extremely satisfied.
Even though he had never farmed before, Su Nian knew that being able to produce so much corn in such a small area was already amazing!
chapter
These corn kernels are not particularly dry, so they still need to be dried in the air.
As for the corn cobs, they can be used for burning after drying, and they are very effective in starting a fire.
Wood ash is also useful and can be used to mix seeds.
As for corn stalks, the tenderest part can be cut off and eaten like sugarcane.
As for the other stems and leaves, there are livestock that can be used to feed livestock.
If there are no livestock, you can just dry the grass and use it for burning.
Su Nian and the other two had no plans to raise any livestock, so after cutting down the corn stalks, they placed them where they would not get in the way and left them to dry. After they were dry, they were stored in the space.
When the eternal night comes, these things will be useful sooner or later.
All the corn has been harvested. Su Nian and the other two turned over the soil in the logistics box together and took out the corn roots.
This time when planting, I still divided it into two parts.
Half of the seeds are treated with nutrients, while the other half are not.
If these corns are used as seeds without nutritional supplements, the harvest can be increased, which can invisibly solve a lot of problems.
Not long after the corn in the living room was planted, the corn in the next room was ripe.
Not only that, the potatoes and sweet potatoes upstairs can also be harvested.
The corn this time obviously did not grow as well as the corn in the living room. Not only did it produce half as much corn.
The corn cobs that finally grow are much smaller in size, and the kernels on them are not full enough and grow a bit sparse.
Although there was an entire room full of corn, the grain that was finally harvested was not as much as what was harvested before.
No wonder even with new varieties and few restrictions on growing conditions, people in the base still can’t get enough to eat. So here’s the reason!
Not only was the corn harvest not very good, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes were not good either.
Whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, they are not big in size, have thick skin, and taste a bit astringent, so they take longer to cook.
Even if it is ground into powder and then cooked, the food will be very astringent and hard to digest.
Looking at these things, Su Nian felt overwhelmed and simply put them all into the space.
As for whether to use nutrient supplements to improve the crop, we’ll have to wait until the corn in the living room is harvested.
This wait lasted more than two months.
More than two months later, the half of the corn that had been treated with nutrients matured first.
As before, the corn cobs were very large, with the kernels packed tightly together and full.
Su Nian and his friends have already ground the corn kernels into powder and made various pasta dishes, which taste very good!
It can be said that there are no shortcomings.
After this half was harvested, about ten days later, the other half of the corn that had not been treated with nutritional supplements was also fully mature.
In general, corn cobs are smaller, and their quality and taste are slightly inferior, but they are still much better than the varieties at the base.
After all the corn was hung out to dry on the oilcloth, Su Nian didn't want to move anymore.
When I first started farming, I had some interest in it.
I was also very happy when I planted it the second time, after all, it was to verify some of my guesses.
But now, his guess has been verified, and farming is troublesome, so Su Nian doesn't really want to do it himself.
Wu Yue waited for a long time, but didn't see Su Nian move. She only saw her there in deep thought. She couldn't help but feel curious, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Nian looked at Wu Yue, "I'm thinking of a wise saying - if you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die."
"Won't......"
Wu Yue softly repeated Su Nian's words, and deeply felt that it was a wise saying.
"How about we find some people to work for us?"
This base lacks everything, but obviously there is no shortage of labor.
Jing Mo also said, "I can go out and look for it..."
Before Jing Mo could finish his words, an alarm suddenly sounded outside.
The sound is very loud and very harsh.
Hearing the voice, Su Nian and the other two looked outside at the same time.
This was not the alarm that Jing Mo had set off in their yard, but an air raid alarm.
Su Nian frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Wu Yue had already picked up her phone, "There should be a notification!"
Su Nian, "......"
Who among them are the Blue Star people?
Why is Wu Yue now able to use the mobile phone more smoothly than her?
While thinking this in his mind, Su Nian also turned on his mobile phone.
As soon as Su Nian opened the base APP, he saw a red notice - the volcano was about to erupt, and all residents of the base had to move to underground shelters within one day.
The moment he saw the announcement, Su Nian was not too shocked.
Maybe it's because I had anticipated it and knew this day would come sooner or later.
But there was no time for them to be stunned. Su Nian turned off his phone and looked at Wu Yue and Jing Mo, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and put some food and daily necessities into your backpack. I will put the rest into the space later."
Wu Yue and Jing Mo were also unambiguous, and the three of them went about their business.
Su Nian first put all the food and logistics boxes into the space, then went into the kitchen and bathroom and emptied out everything inside.
Next are the bedrooms upstairs and Wu Yue’s room.
After a round, the whole house was empty, no different from when they first arrived.
At this time, the three of them were fully armed, from head to toe, and all the skin that could be covered was covered tightly.
Wu Yue and Jing Mo put on wigs, but Wu Yue did not wear contact lenses.
Once a volcano erupts, the temperature will rise sharply. Even if you stay in an underground shelter, you will not be 100% safe.
Wearing contact lenses in this situation is no different from seeking death.
However, the wig Wu Yue wore today had bangs, and the bangs were quite long. With the bangs covering the dark underground, no one would notice the difference in her pupil color unless they were stared at.
