Chapter 169 Farming is the only way to get rich!
Zuo Shan knew she didn't have many supplies to sell, so the first thing that came to her mind was the mutated female crocodile in her spatial storage.
She originally planned to take some time when the extreme cold weather came and make some crocodile skin bags or crocodile skin armor to give to Xiaobai.
However, after having this forum, she decided to monetize her finished products here and earn some forum coins, which she could then use to post tasks and help newbies purchase the resources they needed.
After all, given Xiaobai's status, he probably doesn't lack crocodile skin armor or the like. Even if you give it to him, he'll still take it out and sell it.
Thinking of this, she began searching for information on acquiring armor, but unfortunately, the requirements were all very high; the armor had to be crafted by a master craftsman of the fourth rank or above.
It seems this road is temporarily blocked.
Remembering the seeds she had collected yesterday, she browsed through the seed-buying requests again, only to find that she didn't recognize any of the seeds the requests were for.
It seems she was really too poor to have any goods that others needed to sell.
Just as she was about to leave the forum and go to sleep in frustration, she suddenly saw a post pop up on the homepage: "Breaking News! Prices of low-radiation fresh ingredients have risen for ten consecutive months!"
Upon clicking the title, the post's author listed a price comparison of dozens of wild vegetables and Tier 1 mutated beast meat over the past ten months, and the price increases were indeed astonishing.
The mutated wild amaranth, in particular, has reached a price of 300 silver coins per 100 grams this month.
She still clearly remembers the first time she went to the exchange hall to sell mutated alfalfa leaves after she transmigrated. At that time, the staff member Chi Xiaofan gave her a preferential price of 110 silver coins per 100 grams.
That was only four months ago, and now the market price of mutated alfalfa leaves has reached 260 silver coins per 100 grams.
Considering the abilities of the two contracted mutant plants at home, Wanwan and Suisui, Zuo Shan felt that cultivating low-radiation amaranth and alfalfa would not be difficult.
Among the huge pile of seeds Lele brought back yesterday, there might be these two types, but unfortunately she mixed them all together and couldn't tell the difference.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she plants them all, she'll be able to tell them apart once they grow leaves.
The only worry is that we don't have enough land at home, so planting more crops is a bit unrealistic.
However, we still have Xiaobao. We can make several more foldable planting boxes and grow a batch first.
Thinking of this, she searched for low-radiation wild vegetable leaf purchase tasks and found at least five tasks that were long-term purchases, with purchase prices ranging from 0.2 to 1 gold coin per kilogram depending on the variety.
The extreme heat is now coming to an end, and next month will be a transitional month. It is believed that when the extreme cold weather arrives, the purchase price of these fresh, low-radiation wild vegetables will inevitably rise again.
Zuo Shan exited the Ninth Forum and forcefully clenched his fist: "Let's march towards our goal of becoming the richest woman on Green Algae Star!"
Zuo Shan slept soundly until dawn. When she opened her eyes, Pan Duole had already brought Xiao Bao back from Old Madam Gu with the reindeer milk.
Baby Achen has already had his diaper changed and been fed. He is now lying in his crib, staring at her with unblinking eyes.
For some reason, Zuo Shan felt that the baby was particularly well-behaved today.
Achen was very uneasy; he felt he had made a mistake. Yesterday, he encountered his number one enemy again, and he instinctively used his invisibility ability. Later, he had too much fun playing with Aunt Lele and Xiaobao, and slept very soundly in the afternoon. As a result, he didn't sense when the prairie wolf appeared, almost causing his mother and aunt to be in danger.
Even though he's just a baby, he feels he should protect them. If he messes up at a crucial moment, will his mommy be disgusted with him?
The baby's thoughts are beyond the mother's comprehension. After a good sleep, Zuo Shan got up and drank a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. The side dish was braised pork with vermicelli cooked by Pan Duole. She has now completely mastered the essence of this dish, and everything from the softness and firmness of the vermicelli to the amount of salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder is just right.
In fact, stewing is quite easy to learn. In addition, Zuo Shan always generously let her watch while cooking and even instructed her to use a small spoon to measure the amount of salt instead of using the vague term "appropriate amount" commonly used by chefs. Pan Duole was smart and eager to learn, and she mastered the essence in just a few times.
Zuo Shan felt very happy after having a ready-made meal and having someone help take care of her child.
After eating and drinking her fill, it was time to get to work. She first told Xiaobao that she needed to make several more tiered planting boxes. After Xiaobao finished making them, she took out the soil she had collected from the field the day before.
This soil was dug out by Mao Li when she was digging a trap. In order to prevent the wolves from discovering the loose soil, she put it directly into a sack and stored it in her spatial storage. Now she can take it out and use it.
After all, the soil in the forest is much more nutritious than the soil dug out of the yard.
After filling the soil, summon Wanwan and ask it to help purify the soil and reduce its radiation level.
Wanwan is very worried. It is only at the second level now, and its owner often calls it out to purify the soil. Does it know that purifying the soil of a few planting boxes will exhaust its pitiful superpower?
Waaaaah! The master is exploiting child labor!
Sensing Wanwan's dissatisfaction, Zuo Shan said apologetically, "I'm sorry! I know you've worked hard. When we make a lot of money, I'll buy you a Wood Spirit Core Absorber, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan immediately perked up and enthusiastically began to work hard.
However, its abilities were ultimately limited. After purifying the soil in one tiered planting box, it wilted and shrank back to sleep, like a frostbitten eggplant.
However, this was enough for Zuo Shan. She tried to test it and found that all the soil purified today had become low-radiation soil.
Huh? Did Taiwan's superpowers increase, or...?
Thinking of this, she quickly released a sack of soil from the forest and was surprised to find that it was all moderately radioactive soil.
It turns out that the trap she accidentally set for Mao Li yesterday was actually made of moderately radioactive soil.
The probability of encountering moderately radioactive soil in the wild is as low as detecting a low-radiation leaf, yet she unexpectedly encountered it while fleeing for her life.
So, should she thank those mutated grassland wolves?
The 50-square-meter yard is filled with ten tiered planting boxes, which look like they are already completely full.
These planting boxes are divided into left and right sides, with five planting boxes on each side. The dimensions are: 1.2 meters long, 0.9 meters wide, and 0.5 meters high.
To be fair, these planting boxes are only good for breeding. After all, these are all mutated plants. If they were to grow properly, even a single plant wouldn't fit in such a small planting box.
The seedlings that were sprouted by Pandora the day before yesterday have grown to almost fill the planting box in just two days.
We must find a place to transplant these seedlings.
Zuo Shan thought of the empty courtyard of Old Madam Gu's house, but her courtyard was only a little over 500 square meters. If it were used for farming, it would only be enough to plant twenty or thirty plants at most.
Therefore, she urgently needs a piece of land, at least ten acres in size.
