Volcano Season: 84 Days 2
Yun Mianmian opened the mall and looked at the price of hiring NPCs.
The level 8 ship has a hiring mode.
You can hire NPCs for a long time. You can choose the NPCs that can be hired in the mall, and the prices vary.
An NPC in charge of gardening and planting costs one thousand Starfish coins a day.
This is still the cheapest.
She was indeed a big spender of Starfish coins before, but now she has used up half of them in building workshops and upgrading them.
Yun Mianmian frowned and decided to hire him for a day to try it out.
She chose a tall man with dark skin. From the picture, he was holding a hoe, wearing a straw hat, and smiling with a row of teeth showing. He looked very hardworking and capable.
[Hired successfully, Mario will leave immediately and arrive at your island in ten minutes.]
Ten minutes? So fast?
Yun Mianmian thought it would take a long time.
Then she would just wait at home.
"Do I need to pick him up at the beach?"
Yun Mianmian muttered as she came to the kitchen.
"Joe is moving to a new house, shouldn't I make a delicious meal?"
"Have a simple breakfast and a richer dinner."
Yun Mianmian muttered to herself for a few words and decided to have noodles with scallion oil in the morning.
She took out a pot, took out the drinking water and poured it in, and after boiling, added the noodles.
The noodles are thin and very chewy handmade noodles.
Yun Mianmian likes to eat noodles with a little chewiness.
After boiling, they floated up.
Yun Mianmian went to the warehouse to get a handful of scallions to make scallion oil before the noodles were cooked.
The white and green scallions should be handled separately. Yun Mianmian cut the washed scallions into two pieces.
Pour oil into another pot and heat it up. Then put the scallions into the pot and fry them until they turn brown.
Take out the scorched scallions and add seasonings to the pot. The scallion oil is ready.
When the noodles are just cooked, Yun Mianmian takes them out with chopsticks and rinses them with cool water. Then mix them with the scallion oil and scallion, and a big bowl of scallion oil noodles is ready.
Yun Mianmian also fried five eggs.
The noodles with scallion oil must be eaten with a browned soft-boiled egg, which will enhance the texture and taste.
Yun Mianmian gave one portion to her mother and Yun Xiao, ate one portion herself, and prepared to put away the rest.
She was about to go to the restaurant with the noodles when she heard Xiaoyun's voice: "Master, there are guests."
She looked at the time and it was exactly ten minutes later. It seemed that the hired NPC had arrived.
Yun Mianmian put down the noodles and walked to the door to greet Mario.
He looked exactly like the picture, and smiled when he saw Yun Mianmian.
Mario: "Hello, did you hire me to come here to help?"
Yun Mianmian: "Yes, can we start now?"
Mario: "Yes, but I have to make it clear to you first. I work eight hours a day, including one hour for lunch break and meal. It is ten o'clock now. If I start from now, I will be off work at six o'clock. I have to pay overtime for the time exceeding the limit."
Yun Mianmian was stunned.
Mario: "Is there any problem?"
Yun Mianmian shook her head, "No, it's OK, just do as you say."
She was about to take Mario to see the planting site she chose, but she remembered that she hadn't eaten the noodles she had just cooked, "But please wait a moment, I'll have breakfast first, and then start in ten minutes."
Mario nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Yun Mianmian finished the bowl of noodles in a few bites.
When she came out, she saw Mario training the Border Collie, teaching it to shake hands and sit down.
The Border Collie learned it quickly.
Yun Mianmian: "Great."
Mario laughed: "It's smarter, you can train it more."
Yun Mianmian: "Okay."
When the Border Collie saw Yun Mianmian, it sat down in front of Yun Mianmian and raised its hand to shake hands with Yun Mianmian.
Yun Mianmian squatted down and shook hands with it, then touched its head.
"Good boy."
Mario said proudly, "I also have a dog, and it can help me get things."
Yun Mianmian: "That's great."
Mario: "Hahaha, can we start working now?"
Yun Mianmian nodded: "Well, I'll take you there now."
-
Arriving at the open space next to the house, Yun Mianmian pointed at the land and said, "How many days will it take to turn all this land into arable land?"
Yun Mianmian roughly estimated that the land in front of him was about three or four acres.
At present, the land is full of weeds and bushes. It takes time to clean it up, and the soil needs to be turned over to loosen and improve the soil before the planting plan can be carried out.
If the soil quality is not good, it will take time to improve the soil quality and even dig deep for compost.
Yun Mianmian stared at Mario, afraid that he would say it would take a month.
She didn't have enough Starfish Coins to hire him for a month.
Mario pondered for a moment, "Two days at the shortest, four days at the longest."
Yun Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief and thought: That's fine.
"Then let's start now."
As soon as Mario finished speaking, he took out a bunch of tools.
It seems that he also has a backpack, worthy of being a professional horticulturist.
He has many more planting tools than Yun Mianmian, and they look very advanced.
For example, lawn mowers, rotary tillers, excavators, edge trimmers, green fence machines, brush cutters, high-branch machines, leaf vacuum machines...
A lot of machines placed on the open space are quite spectacular.
Mario started weeding.
He first used a lawnmower to roughly clear the area of weeds, and then used a garden fork to rake up the weeds, which would be useful later.
Yun Mianmian also helped dig the soil together, which was more efficient. After all, Mario finished it earlier, and she could also save some starfish coins.
In two hours, the two of them cleared the land of grass and bushes, making it look bare at least on the outside.
Next comes a double dig.
While Mario was working, he taught Yun Mianmian gardening knowledge.
"You probably haven't used this type of rotary tiller before. For a novice, this machine is very difficult to use, but as long as you master the skills, it can help you save a lot of time and effort. Do you want to try it?"
Yun Mianmian didn't really want to try it, but she agreed to give it a try after thinking that she would be able to do it well after learning it.
As a result, she learned it right away.
Mario exclaimed, "OMG, you are really talented. If you learn more, maybe you can become an excellent horticulturist."
Yun Mianmian smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. . "
Mario: "What do you want to grow?"
Yun Mianmian: "Vegetables, fruits, everything."
"You know that different things need to be grown in different seasons, right?"
Yun Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "I want to grow different things in different seasons." "The problem is that the seasons here are always changing."
Mario nodded. "That's true, but it's just one season per month, and it repeats over and over again. You just have to get used to it. For example, the weather now is mainly too dry and too hot, so we need to Plant some plants that can adapt to drought."
Yun Mianmian was stunned for a moment. No way, the system once said that the volcanic season is the last season.
Why is it that Mario says it is repetitive?
Is it the rainy season, the glacial season, the volcanic season, and then the rainy season again?
Mario: "Crops should be planted in the right season. For example, now is not the best season. In the seasons, under high temperatures, few plants can survive. "
Yun Mian Mian: "When is the best season?"
It seems that every season is quite extreme, either too cold or too hot.
Only the rainy season is slightly better. A little bit, but too much rainfall is not good for plants.
Sure enough, Mario was speechless when he heard this question.
He changed the subject, "Ahem, when the weather is bad, we need to take better care of the crops, such as fertilizing them.
-
During the lunch break at noon, Yunmianmian needed to provide Mario's food.
Yunmianmian simply took out She made some scallion oil noodles for him this morning.
Yun Mianmian thought, it wasn't because she was lazy, it was because there was some leftover, so it was easier.
What's more, there was an egg on the noodles
. Ao looked at the bowl of noodles in surprise, "Is this my lunch?"
Yun Mianmian: "Yes, don't you like it? "
Mario: "Of course not, this is too much. I worked for others before, and they gave me either steamed buns or dry bread, plus a bottle of water. I didn't expect the food here is so good." . "
Yun Mianmian: "Hahaha, really? Come again tomorrow and I'll give you something else to eat."
Mario: "OMG, that's great, those employers don't know that good food can increase the number of employees. Positive! I will work twice as hard this afternoon."
Yun Mianmian: "Did you slack off this morning?"
Mario: "No, I just played normally."
He sat down and took a bite of noodles. He put it in his mouth, and then his expression changed, "It's really delicious. "
Yun Mianmian: "If it tastes good, just...eat it."
Yun Mianmian swallowed back the words "eat more" because Mario finished the bowl of noodles in two bites.
Mario: "..."
He ate the egg in one bite and the bowl of noodles in two.
The taste was still lingering on his tongue, but he felt even hungrier.
He ate, but it seemed like he hadn't eaten, but he remembered the taste.
Mario looked at Yun Mianmian eagerly.
A tall, honest man's eyes showed desire.
"Anything else?"
Yun Mianmian: "You know this bowl of noodles is expensive, how about deducting it from your salary?"
Mario: "Sure! "
Yun Mianmian: "But I have already paid your salary for today. How about this, tomorrow's working hours will be increased by two hours, from 8 am to 6 pm."
Mario thought that working ten hours a day was a bit It was painful, but he really wanted to eat this bowl of noodles right now.
"Okay."
"Then wait here for a while, I'll make another bowl. "
Yun Mianmian pretended to be busy in the kitchen, but in fact she was preparing for tonight. She took out the fresh beef and soaked it in water to remove the blood. She also took an eel and prepared to make a braised eel.
The eel was very big . , which is thicker than Yunmianmian's thigh, was caught in the sea before.
The eel's skin has gorgeous patterns and is very thick, making it difficult to cut, a bit like plastic skin.
Yunmianmian finally cut it apart and took only three One-tenth is a lot.
I estimate that it can make a big pot.
I will keep half and share the other half with my friends.
When Yunmianmian came out, I gave the other bowl of noodles in my backpack to Mario.
Mario: Thank you for your hard work."
Yun Mianmian: "No, no, as long as you like it." "
Mario's eyes were moved.
-Mario
really worked harder in the afternoon.
After an afternoon, some gravel and debris on the ground were turned out, and the ground became clean. He used stones and wooden boards to frame the edges. The border also has two composting areas.
Mario: "The way to make the vegetable garden more efficient is to give it a solid edge. It is not only more beautiful but also prevents weeds from invading. The most important thing is that it can gather water."
Yun Mianmian nodded, "I learned it."
"That's all for today. I'll come back tomorrow to help you make green manure and increase soil fertility."
Mario was really tired today. He would slack off when doing other people's work. Today he really worked hard for half a day.
Yun Mianmian: "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
Mario: "I hope there will be delicious food tomorrow."
Yun Mianmian: "Don't worry."
Just leave a portion of the dishes made tonight for Mario.
Mario left with satisfaction. Yun Mianmian looked at the vegetable garden that was about to be completed and was also very satisfied.
I can go home and cook!
-After
Yunmianmian returned, she opened the daily treasure chest.
Three treasure chests can be claimed every day.
Today's treasure chest has not been claimed yet.
If she does not claim it, there will not be six treasure chests the next day.
Yunmianmian asked Xiaoyun to set a reminder to remind her to claim the treasure chest at 8 o'clock every night.
Today, when she returned, it was not yet 8 o'clock, but she remembered to claim it.
Two silver treasure chests and one gold treasure chest.
Many saplings and seeds came out.
It is exactly what she needs now.
Five acres of land can grow a lot of vegetables.
And the fruit forest must be arranged as soon as possible.
Hearing that Yunmianmian came back, t Xiaoyi immediately flew out to greet her. The weather was too hot and Octopus Girl stayed in the fish tank and was reluctant to come out.
And the Border Collie also rushed over and wagged its tail at Yunmianmian.
Yun Mianmian guessed that it was hungry, so she prepared to stew some bones for it.
Xiaoyi: "Master, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Yun Mianmian: "Have you completed the task I asked you to do?"
"Yes, I found a hillside full of trees and a forest. There are many things in it, and there are many fish in the river."
Yun Mianmian asked Xiaoyi to explore the island today and tell her what he found.
It seems that the resources on this island are indeed good.
Yun Mianmian: "Not bad, I will give you something delicious to eat."
Xiaoyi flapped his wings and raised a gust of wind, "No need, master, I am full of fish."
Yun Mianmian realized that Xiaoyi had grown very big. His height was now about the same as Yun Mianmian, and it was even more exaggerated after spreading his wings.
"Come in, after dinner you take me out tonight for something."
Tomorrow is the time for the underwater volcano to erupt. By then, many creatures in the sea may die. Yun Mianmian plans to go fishing tonight.
