21. Growing vegetables
At the same time, they understood one thing: every grain of food is hard-earned.
There are so many preparation times and steps.
Not only that, time is very tight.
It seems that they need to put aside the work at hand and plant the rice first.
But they can prepare vegetables, flowers and cultural and creative products at any time later, but not rice.
Zheng Shili was worthy of being someone who had done dirty and tiring work at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for five years. He took a piece of paper and wrote down the tasks he had to do recently.
After writing it, he put it on the table for everyone to see.
The harvesting process starts with soaking seeds, germination, seedling stage, transplanting, tillering, ear formation, heading and flowering, milky stage, waxy stage and full maturity.
After reading these steps, they truly understood how much it takes for a seed to grow into maturity.
"I didn't expect there would be so much to do." Lu He sighed as he looked at the steps.
Among the six people, except Zheng Shili, the other five had never farmed their own land.
Little is known about this aspect.
"Yes, I'll be busy in the future." Zheng Shili replied, rubbing his eyebrows.
It would be fine if they had machines to help, but now they are penniless and have to rely on nature for their livelihood.
Zhou Nan also understood the importance of growing rice. She slammed the table and decided, "Let's plant the rice first."
"Let's put aside what we are doing for now."
The other two had no objection.
Zhou Nan is on Taobao again. If he buys now, maybe it can be delivered to him in the evening?
After working all night, they were already starving.
Zheng Shili stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll go make breakfast for everyone."
"I'll go help." Li Yanchu stood up and followed him to the kitchen.
Because everyone was very tired, Zheng Shili planned to make a hearty breakfast.
Li Yanchu helped by washing vegetables and meat.
Zheng Shili plans to make some noodles to go with the broth for everyone.
While they were busy with their own things, little Xu Yixin woke up.
After she woke up, she looked around but didn't see Zhou Nan and the others. She felt a little disappointed, but when she heard the noise outside, her eyes widened.
001 popped out at this moment, imitating a human voice and calling out to her: "Xinbao, take out the planting encyclopedia you received as part of your novice quest and give it to them later."
[Huh?] Xu Yixin didn't understand why, [If I show it, I'll be suspected.]
Although Xu Yixin is young, she knows that her brothers and sisters will be suspicious if she suddenly takes out a book.
001 just saw their conversation. The boy is good at growing rice, but he definitely can't grow other crops.
001 thought about it and agreed. Finally, it said, "Okay, then you can make a piece of land today and plant some corn and potatoes for them to see."
As the time traveler it brought here, she must be the most outstanding!
It’s a pity that Xinbao is too young and can’t do many things.
001 looked at her thin little body and couldn't help but sigh.
Xinbao can only serve as a mascot now.
After hearing this, Xu Yixin responded and found that there was a task in the task bar that she needed to complete.
She will do it well.
Xu Yixin got out of bed, put on her clothes and changed her shoes, then went out.
She stood on a chair and brushed her teeth. After she had thoroughly tidied herself up, she happily walked towards the lounge.
After the rain last night, the ground became very muddy.
Xu Yixin held onto his trouser legs and walked carefully.
By the time she reached the lounge door, her new shoes were covered in mud.
It got dirty.
"Xinbao, are you awake?" The person in the room was sharp-eyed and immediately saw Xu Yixin standing outside the door.
Li Yanchu put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked over and picked her up and brought her in.
Lu He, who was closer to the cabinet, quickly took out a bottle of milk and handed it over.
Xu Yixin was placed in the middle seat, and as soon as she sat down, the dishes and chopsticks were placed in front of her.
The remaining meat and vegetables were also quickly taken out.
"Eat quickly." Zhou Nan rubbed her head and said with a smile.
When they were not around, they would leave food for her and would not let her go hungry.
Xu Yixin was holding the chopsticks and looked very happy.
"Brother and sister, how were your busy days last night?"
"Everything is fine. We can start planting rice in a few days. Xinbao, do you want to try it then?" Zheng Shili replied with a smile.
"OK."
Everyone sat together and ate breakfast, and after finishing the meal no one rushed back to sleep.
They sat in their seats and watched Xu Yixin eating. She ate very slowly, but her appetite was very appetizing.
Maybe she gradually realized that here she could fill her stomach without being scolded.
Xu Yixin's appetite is getting bigger day by day.
They all saw it and felt extremely relieved.
After Xinbao finished eating, the students on duty today started to clean up the dishes. After everything was done, they planned to catch up on their sleep.
But Xu Yixin has woken up, and we can't just leave her alone as a child.
Finally, the important task of looking after the children was given to two other members of the program team.
After they fell asleep on the bed, Xu Yixin was not idle either.
She took out the small shovel bought specifically for her and asked 001 to find her a piece of land nearby where she could grow vegetables.
001 was very powerful and quickly locked onto the open space behind the base.
After knowing where to plant, Xu Yixin took his shovel and walked to the back of the house.
Seeing this, the other two staff members followed.
They want to ensure Xu Yixin's safety.
Standing on the open space, Xu Yixin felt that it was impossible to create two complete pieces of land with his own abilities.
When she was at her wit's end, 001 made another move.
[Just ask those two people if they can help you turn the soil.]
After receiving 001's instruction, Xu Yixin turned to look at the two people, a big smile on his face, and asked, "Brother and sister, do you want to help me plow the land?"
When Zizi smiled, the two of them were unable to think.
In the end, I nodded in agreement without thinking.
With the addition of the two of them, they finally finished the two plots of land in an hour and a half without the help of robots.
Fortunately, they are from the military and are in good physical condition.
After the ground was ready, Xu Yixin touched the space ring on his neck, and then took out the seeds from the system backpack.
After a large bag of seeds came out, Xu Yixin started to have trouble.
She didn't know what vegetables to plant at this time of year.
When he was in the village, Xu Yixin could also grow vegetables according to what the grandparents in the village grew.
Now that she has no reference, it is difficult for her.
[You don't have to worry about it. The seeds produced by the system can be planted in any season. Just choose the ones you like to eat and plant them.]
After hearing what 001 said, Xu Yixin chose tomatoes, cabbages and sweet potatoes from the twenty kinds of vegetable seeds.
She likes to eat all three.
It was more because the grandparents in the village felt sorry for her and would give her a sweet potato or a tomato from time to time.
Cabbage is the most common vegetable eaten at home.
