48. Farm
Not full, not happy.
Everyone looked dull and lifeless in the morning, so Su Liu simply mobilized them to knead the dough, chop the mutton, cut the fungus, dice the bamboo shoots, and mince the onions and garlic.
Add cooking wine, soy sauce, pepper powder, etc. to the meat filling, stir the mixed meat sauce until evenly blended, and use this authentic mutton filling to make buns.
While it was still being steamed, several people gathered around the stove, unable to take their eyes off it.
As the mutton filling and flour slowly cook, the aroma is simply mouth-watering.
As soon as they came out of the pot, the piping hot buns were snatched up by everyone.
This bun is truly delicious in color, aroma and taste. One bite into it and the rich aroma of mutton fills your mouth. It is tender, juicy, smooth and delicious, without any smell of mutton.
Immediately, Bai Zhou suggested helping Su Liu find more sheep.
Su Liu still didn't know how big the farm allocated to her by the principal was. Besides, there was no sign of sheep feed for the time being, so she decided to just forget it.
Before setting off to continue exploring, Fei Yali casually asked, "Isn't the skeleton of your weapon made of animal bones?"
She saw that there were no animal bones for the skeleton on Su Liu's list of materials.
Su Liu said, "I don't use animal bones."
"So it's made of wood?" Fei Yali frowned and said, "I don't recommend using wooden ones. Although Purifiers don't fight directly, their weapons are easily damaged."
Wood is really not solid. Instead of replacing it every once in a while, it is better to invest more money from the beginning and build a stronger skeleton.
Su Liu had something he wanted to ask: "I don't have any extra money, and I'm thinking about asking the Purification Association for help. They should have some kind of incentive program to help needy students, right?"
Fei Yali laughed out loud. "What are you thinking? Although I'm not a purifier, I know this is impossible. The association belongs to the military, and the military's funds are allocated to the school. It is the school that controls and distributes them. They will never bypass the school to directly support a student."
Su Liu was stunned and asked, "Will the military provide some materials to the students to help them build weapons?"
"That's impossible. I told you, the military won't directly fund a student," Fei Yali explained. "Do you know how many military academies there are on countless planets, big and small, across the empire, and how many students are in each academy? Unless you're an exceptional talent, the military won't even notice you, let alone fund you."
Su Liu didn't understand.
She was an F-class purifier, and had nothing to do with being "extremely outstanding".
Then why did the association give her jade as a weapon skeleton?
I can't figure it out.
With doubts in his mind, Su Liu was always worried.
A few days later, the group traveled to many areas of Liuyun Star, found the animal materials they needed, and harvested thousands of crystal cores.
On the return trip, the airship took off.
Su Liu looked down at the human city shrouded in red fog.
"What is that red mist?"
Luden took a look and said, "That's the most terrifying Level VIII restricted area on Liuyun Star. The concentration of strange factors far exceeds the human limit. Even interstellar troops are forbidden to enter at will."
Level VIII?
Su Liu asked, "What's inside?"
"Things humans can't touch," Fei Yali leaned over and said with a mysterious smile, "Level VIII restricted areas are a secret kept secret by all nations. The Federation has sent allied forces in several times, but they were always annihilated."
Su Liu was shocked. "Is it more terrible than the Devouring Disaster?"
"Who knows?" Fei Yali said with a smile, "Humanity's understanding of strange factors may not even be one thousandth of it. In a place teeming with strange factors, what would happen if humans entered? Do we really have the chance to learn the inside story in this lifetime?"
If the price of knowing the inside story is life, how many people are willing to accept fear and death?
On the weekend evening, the group arrived at Maha Military Academy.
Su Liu returned to the dormitory and fell asleep immediately. Yan Ziyan and the other two tacitly agreed not to disturb her.
Su Liu skipped classes all day and slept soundly.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by the principal's communication request.
After the call was connected, Su Liu listened for a long time with sleepy eyes, then rubbed his eyes and asked, "A breeding farm? Let me take a look. Now? Sure."
After sitting on the bed for a while, Su Liu got up, washed up, and rushed to the address given by the principal.
When the school team returns from exploring the infected area, all their gains must be registered with the management department.
The principal also knew that Su Liu brought back a lot of purified sheep and purified tilapia, so he specially assigned a farm to her.
The breeding farm, like the planting area, is surrounded by high walls, patrolled by the military, and closely monitored. It is like a large prison behind iron walls.
The difference is that this place is more mountainous, or at least the terrain is not very suitable for farming.
When Su Liu arrived, the principal was waiting at the gate.
"I've been waiting for you for quite some time," Yan Yi checked the time, "Are you catching up on some sleep?"
"In the infected area, except for the first day, we work all night long." Su Liu was still sleepy, with drooping eyelids.
"Not bad. I read the report submitted by Ruden Zoman. You have gained a lot." Yan Yi was very pleased.
Su Liu didn't come to listen to the compliments, and asked expectantly, "Principal, where is my farm?"
"Let's go." Yan Yi waved his hand and personally took her to register, renew her pass, and handle various procedures.
The breeding center is divided into many blocks, some are in the valley, some are on the top of the mountain, some are on the mountainside, and some are in the river valley.
In addition to students from the school's Department of Planting, some teachers and staff are also involved in the breeding.
The size of the farm each person gets is different according to their ability.
The breeding farm that Yan Yi allocated to Su Liu was quite large, covering dozens of acres of open space.
Su Liu looked at the bare land and gestured, "It's big enough."
But does it have anything to do with “farms”?
Yan Yi said, "All the farms that our school has developed have been allocated. It's good enough that we can find you a piece of land."
Moreover, this piece of land is so big that it is more than enough to be used as a small livestock farm.
Su Liu squatted down and touched the soil, his heart sinking to the bottom.
"Principal, the soil here is so poor that even grass can't grow. What am I supposed to feed the sheep with?"
Yan Yi was inexplicably confident in her: "You are a purifier, is this little problem difficult for you?"
"Is this a small problem?" Su Liu refuted feebly, "If there's no grass to grow, are you asking me to cut meat to feed the sheep?"
"Think of another way. You are now a second lieutenant in the military and you must face the challenge head-on." After saying this, Yan Yi walked away lightly.
Liu Suliu stood there beating his chest and stamping his feet.
The importance of forage to sheep farming is self-evident. In such a harsh growing environment, it is impossible for her to grow soybeans, potatoes and sweet potatoes specifically to feed the sheep.
There must be fodder, and it must be fat, tender, juicy fodder that can be harvested one after another.
But this land...
It is even poorer than Su Liu's wallet, without any fertility at all.
What should I do?
There are more than 20 sheep still being raised at the school, so she doesn't have to worry about the feed issue for the time being.
If the sheep were not taken away, they might have been taken away by the school.
