Chapter 120

Planting area

Fang Xin left the two elders and returned to his own room.

Start sorting out the messy supplies.

Today she brought back some flooring and laid a simple layer of flooring in the living room and second bedroom.

I took the tea table back, wiped it, and put it away. I would bring back another sofa next time.

Finally, all the supplies were packed up neatly.

The floors in the house are all paved and clean.

There is endless work to do every day.

After Fang Xin finished his work, he sat down and prepared dinner with Gou Zi.

Then I heard a man roaring.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to look after the car? How come so many supplies were lost?"

The woman was stunned by her husband's yelling, "I, I was watching."

"I, how should I know!"

"You're a piece of shit. If you can't even do such a small thing, what else can you do?"

"So much food has been thrown away. What can you do? Just go hungry and save the food from your mouth."

"Wuwuwu, I didn't mean it, how would I know!"

"Before the end of the world, you were just a freeloader, eating without thinking. I work hard outside to make money, but you don't make any money at home, and you don't even know how to save money. You spend whatever I give you, you rubbish!"

Fang Xin didn't want to listen to other people's gossip, she just felt annoyed, so she took out earplugs and plugged her ears to make the noise quieter.

The man scolded the woman for several hours. Finally, the other neighbors became dissatisfied and knocked on his door frantically, and he stopped.

The man is also a bit arrogant. He dares not say a word when someone bangs on the door, and he only dares to speak loudly to his wife.

Early the next morning, Grandpa Li once again woke Fang Xin up from his quilt.

She really didn't expect that she would have to get up early even though it was the end of the world.

The three of them carried their supplies and headed for the hall.

The two elders exchanged cigarettes for 650 points.

The two elders decided to buy one first, not taking out too many supplies at once, and the remaining one could be bought later, so there was no rush.

He mostly bought cheap cigarettes, with only a few boxes of expensive ones.

I bought a pack of cigarettes for 16 before the end of the world, and I exchanged them for 10 points. I think the price is reasonable.

The points you redeem are relatively substantial, after all, cigarettes are a scarce resource.

Fang Xin exchanged the cigarettes for 50 points for 68 yuan. He thought that it would cost 50 points to buy them back, and it would probably cost more than double to sell them again. After all, one pack of good cigarettes is one less.

I'm afraid the prices will only get higher in the future.

Fang Xin only allowed Grandpa Li to exchange four boxes, and kept the rest for exchange when the price went up.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Li had quite a lot of stock. He secretly told her that he still had quite a lot of cigarettes.

Fang Xin was carrying a large suitcase full of ready-to-eat food. These foods would be much more expensive if they were resold.

She actually wanted to exchange for more, but this was already very ostentatious, so she thought about it and exchanged for something else.

I took out some of the small electronic products I had collected, and in total I had a large luggage bag.

There are Bluetooth headphones, charging cables, chargers, a few small speakers, two fans, and two notebooks.

These things don't attract attention when they are taken out.

After inspection by staff, these things are all good.

It’s just that Fang Xin made it look a little old and dirty.

If you use it, it will not affect the use. Wipe it clean and sell it in the store.

It is also possible to dismantle the parts, which is also very useful. After all, all supplies are in short supply now.

There are also many people who go out to look for these supplies, the so-called scavengers.

I ended up redeeming 490 points for the last two bags, but it still wasn’t enough.

Fang Xin had no choice but to take out three more boxes of cigarettes from his pocket, and together with the points left over from yesterday, he barely managed to get enough points.

After the three people bought the watches, they added each other's contact information.

So the two elders wanted to find a job first. They couldn't stay still, living in the house bought with food every day, and they felt very anxious.

I was afraid that the few supplies they had would not be enough to pay the rent.

Finally he went to find Guo Yuan, who found a farming job for the two old people.

You can rent a vegetable field, about one mu of land, and pay one month's rent, and the produce from the field can be sold to the base.

It costs 2,000 points to rent one acre of land.

You have to provide your own seeds and fertilizers.

The two elders thought about it in their hearts.

The maturity period of vegetables varies from 30 to 40 days. You can plant some vegetables with a short maturity period, so that you can have a harvest in less than two months.

Fresh vegetables sold to the base cost 3 points per pound, which can be said to be more expensive than meat.

It takes about 40 days to harvest a batch of vegetables. If the harvest is good, one mu of land can yield 4,000 kilograms. Even if the harvest is not good, there can still be more than 2,000 kilograms, but the profit will be a little less. The two feel that it is better to make a profit than to sit there.

The two elders also had experience in farming and thought that this was feasible and that two people could manage an acre of land, so they decided to give it a try.

So he rushed to redeem some points and happily rented an acre of land for two months.

Fang Xin was really curious about where the planting area was. If it was outdoors and there was a natural disaster, wouldn’t all the work be in vain?

When she followed the staff to the planting area, she realized that her worries were unnecessary and it was impossible for the base to set up the planting area outside.

It turns out that the planting area is underground, and there are actually 80,000 square meters of planting area, all of which are black soil with very good soil.

Fang Xin wondered if even with 82,000 acres of planting area, it would be enough to support the 300,000 survivors at the base.

It is very likely that this is just to ensure the vegetable supply for the insiders.

All they need to do is provide land to ensure a steady supply of vegetables.

Fang Xin sighed in his heart. He couldn't think about it. Ordinary survivors would always have the hardest time. Before the apocalypse, they were like cattle and horses, and after the apocalypse, they still couldn't escape the fate of cattle and horses.

"Grandpa, you can grow vegetables that can be harvested several times, such as coriander, celery, leeks, and water spinach."

Grandma Li clapped her hands and said, "Yes, yes, this way we can harvest more crops. We don't have to plant just one crop per acre. We can plant several crops and diversify the varieties."

Grandpa Li nodded in agreement, "Okay."

So the two old men held hands and went to the store to buy some seeds.

The two old people had farm tools and other things, and they were reluctant to throw them away, so they brought them from the distant City S to City A.

Load all the tools you will need, such as buckets and pipes, into the van.

The three of them drove along with the staff and drove directly into the planting area.

The planting area is in the inner area, which means that other ordinary survivors cannot enter at all.

There are also many guards inside.

There is a well every few acres of land, which makes it very convenient to use for farming. You don’t have to worry about water sources or go out to fetch water.

However, the water here cannot be taken away in large quantities privately, such as using a water tower or carrying it away in buckets.

You can use a water bottle to fill some and drink it, a small amount is fine, the managers in the growing area won’t say anything.
