Chapter 80 79. Growing at will
The bamboo shoots have lost their outer shells for five or six hours, and now they don’t look that fresh to the naked eye.
but……
Huaiyu picked up one and took a look at it in confusion: the Kuangbiao mutation value was over 50, so why didn’t this bamboo shoot feel too “dirty”?
She took a bite out of curiosity.
It has the unique green smell of bamboo shoots, mixed with the taste of grass and young branches. It is not delicious, but... it is not as bad as Uncle Zaozi's...
Even the fragrance is particularly fresh and rich! Huaiyu poured all the bamboo shoots into the basin to wash them, then poured the boiling water from the pot into the kettle, and then started the pot again to pour cold water, and put the bamboo shoots in one by one.
As he put them aside, he pondered: Could it be that... after a certain value is exceeded, the more ferocious and powerful the plants are, the lower the mutation value of the edible parts will be? It's very likely! Otherwise, if I took those things with low mutation values at the beginning, would Boss Tang and the others assume that there are powerful people in my family?
She picked up the bag of salt and poured some into the pot, then covered the pot and refilled the stove with fire.
The door is open.
The fluorescent green light of Zhu Kuangbiao was still rising and falling on the ground outside.
After all, the fresh bamboo shoots cannot be wasted, and he is still so energetic, so he might as well hold on a little longer.
There were too many bamboo shoots, and Huaiyu's pot was not big, so she boiled three pots before she finished cleaning them all. Then she poured them into a basin and soaked them in cold water. She looked at the small basin of bamboo cores...
Forget it, I'll clean it up tomorrow! Then he picked up his hoe and shovel and went out.
"Kuang Biao, let's go! I'll take you to see the new territory."
With the Rose Corridor, even if the defense army came and was curious about why the bamboo was behind his house, he could easily get rid of it...
have no idea.
Not sure.
When I woke up in the morning, the bamboo was there.
Thinking of this, she pointed to the large piece of land behind her house and suddenly felt proud:
"Come on, choose for yourself!"
Kuang Biao immediately shook the branches and leaves: "Just let me be about five meters behind the house. When the time comes, my bamboo will grow in all directions, repelling mosquitoes and providing shade."
"If you bend over in the winter when it snows, you definitely won't bend over this side of the house."
Huaiyu: ...
This is really thoughtful consideration.
"All right."
With the rose corridor, Huaiyu felt more relaxed. He found a spot that was about right and stepped on it with his shovel: "Here it is! By the way, don't let it grow too much. I don't raise pandas, so there's no point in having such a big bamboo forest."
Bamboo rats can...
Thinking of this, she relaxed her tone a little: "Okay, just grow as long as you want."
Kuang Biao was very knowledgeable and tactful: "Okay! Xiaoyu, don't worry, I know my limits!"
If it is just a single bamboo, and it is a mutant bamboo, it will not be that difficult to plant.
Dig a deep hole, stick his short bamboo root in it, fill it with soil, compact it, and pour buckets of water...that's it.
By the time Huaiyu finished everything and returned to his room, took a quick shower, and lay down on the bed, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
She stretched herself vigorously and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In my dream, bamboo shoots and bamboo rat stew smelled really good...
…
Huaiyu was so tired at night that it was already past ten o'clock when he woke up.
She sat up from the bed in a daze, and was stunned for a while. When she looked at the bamboo shoots soaking in a large basin beside her, she immediately came to her senses.
When she opened the door, she saw that the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly!
The bamboos had been blanched and soaked overnight, and now they were soft. She took them out one by one, squeezed out the water, and then hung them directly on the clothes drying rack outside.
Although fresh bamboo shoots are delicious, the ones we brought back are no longer fresh. In this case, we might as well wait until Kuang Biao grows a large patch again...
“?!!”
She turned around and looked back, and she could already see the green bamboo leaves peeking out from behind the roof. Moreover, they were densely packed together.
"Kuang Biao!"
She rushed to the back of the house, and was so shocked that she could only shout out a name and was speechless.
Just now, because of the angle and the room between them, she only saw part of it, but now she was up close...
Hiss! I saw the bamboo forest in front of me, covering the sky and the earth, densely packed, forming a standard straight line behind the house, about 40 to 50 meters long!
Going back to the edge and looking back, it spreads a long way...
How could this be just two acres of land? There were five acres! Even as she was in a daze, she could see a bamboo shoot emerging from the soil near the edge. Then it slowly, slowly, slowly extended upwards, shed its shell, sprouted, grew, spread its branches and leaves... and finally became a tall and straight bamboo.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Xiao Yu, you're here? Do you want to eat bamboo shoots? They're fresh!"
"Do you want bamboo poles? They are quite strong when they are just grown. They will be delicious if you cut them and make bamboo rice with them!"
Kuang Biao was shaking the branches and leaves, trying to please, and his voice sounded a bit tired and weak. Perhaps the growth of so many bamboos overnight really took a toll on his strength.
No wonder he wanted to enter the safe zone.
Otherwise, if it goes to the wilderness in this state and does not take root and develop its territory, any larger plants around it can surround and destroy it. But if it takes root and develops, it will fall into a weak period, surrounded by powerful enemies, which is also very dangerous.
But his weakness and flattery did not make Huaiyu sympathize with him. Instead, she felt that she was so stupid yesterday! She worked so hard to carry a basket of bamboo shoots, said nice things and drew so many bamboo cores, but it turned out that Kuang Biao could grow them overnight?! Her hard work suddenly felt worthless and bitter!
"Didn't you say you can grow as long as you want?"
"Yes, I am..." Kuang Biao said in a small voice, "It's so wide here, but I still managed to restrain myself and just grow longer."
"It's just that... after all, I went through a fierce battle and had to cut off my arm to survive, so I'm a little exhausted."
"The land here is quite fertile. My roots can be spread a little bit further... Actually, it's not that bad..."
"Just a little bit! It really just grows randomly!"
After he finished speaking, he shook the branches again and whispered, "Xiao Yu, do you want to eat some fresh bamboo shoots? Although these newly grown ones are not as delicious as those on the mountain that embody my stronger strength, they should be pretty good now."
The trees chatted with each other, conveying messages, and sometimes he could vaguely hear a little of what the human explorers said.
For example, the bamboo shoots of a strong man like him will most likely have a mutation value below 12, which makes them very popular.
Huaiyu: ...
She was really comforted.
Because she couldn't cultivate more than 600 acres of land by herself.
It makes little difference to her whether the bamboo grows two acres or five acres.
But if that happens, yesterday's efforts will seem ridiculous.
But if there is a difference in quality...
Ah! This is human psychology.
Anyway, she is not angry now.
"Okay!" She nodded: "Then grow well. I'll go and dry the bamboo cores I picked yesterday."
Then we'll see what the difference is between the one on the mountain and the one last night! Update 1: I have to go out to do some work in the hot sun at over 30 degrees... It's hard! (End of this chapter)
