A nest of startled, mutated snakes suddenly sprang out of the rapeseed field, startling Xiwa so much that she jumped up.
Sheng Qingyang seemed quite used to it, grabbing the retractable net he carried and quickly scooping it up, catching a darting snake.
The remaining snakes that escaped were quickly slapped to death by Meng Er with two slaps.
Sheng Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"You're too kind!" Meng Er tossed his head, secretly pleased with himself.
He's showing off again. Little Kid pouted, thinking to herself.
As a result, the rapeseed in the land where the mutated snake lived grew short and brittle, and did not produce any seeds.
Sheng Qingyang sighed softly, a little worried about the harvest from this acre of rapeseed field.
"Xiaoxiu, is the flying chicken you raise any good?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded, "It's useful and very obedient. It finds insects to eat in the field every day and protects the crops very well."
Sheng Qingyang was somewhat tempted. It seemed that he would also need to raise two flying chickens to help catch small insects and snakes. Otherwise, with the large-scale expansion of rapeseed fields next year, it would be impossible to keep up with the manpower to catch these small snakes and insects hidden in the soil.
But then he thought about how the harvest from plot number four next door was even worse than his own, and Sheng Qingyang felt a little happy.
She actually has quite a talent for farming!
Seeing her master's expression, Zhao Xiaoxiu shrugged and smiled, "Master, as long as you're happy."
With someone's help, Sheng Qingyang finished the work in half a day instead of the two days he would have had to do alone.
From plot 1 to plot 3, Meng Er seemed to possess inexhaustible ox-like energy.
After helping harvest the rapeseed, they immediately helped move it to an open space to dry. Finally, they picked up a hoe, dug up all the rapeseed roots from an acre of land, and burned them all.
He kept the one acre of land neat and tidy.
Of course, he didn't get home until midnight. Zhao Xiaoxiu and Xiwa had already returned and were fast asleep.
However, his efforts were not in vain this time. The next morning, when Sheng Qingyang came to see his little apprentice, he brought two plump, low-grade mutated dishes. He gave one to his little apprentice and the other to him.
The two young people, both in their early twenties, exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Zhao Xiaoxiu tilted her head, looked at Uncle Meng who was laughing like a fool, and then looked at her master who had a gentle smile and looked like a fool. She couldn't help but smile too.
"What are you laughing at?" Sheng Qingyang turned around and looked at him seriously. "Hold the knife higher, practice seriously, and stop daydreaming!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly stopped smiling and started practicing the new moves seriously.
Although she now feels more and more that the knife skills she has learned are more suitable for killing and skinning fish, and less effective at controlling plants against mutant species.
But inheritance is inheritance; only by learning and mastering it can it be passed down from generation to generation.
When the four-year-old girl got serious, she practiced until she was covered in sweat.
Patrol trucks drove past the territory with loudspeakers broadcasting warnings in advance:
[Starting May 27th, Taoyuan Base and Jiangcheng are expected to experience a month-long period of continuous torrential rain. All residents are advised to prepare sufficient food, medicine, and ammunition reserves, and to stay home during the heavy rain period...]
[Special Report from Planting Areas: Lords, please prepare for the arrival of the rainy season by relocating your settlements, staying away from all mutated crop areas, and taking precautions against mutated animals attacking your crops!]
"Hey!" Mo Shigui shouted as he drove a military truck loaded with goods to the entrance of Territory No. 13, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Gang and his group, who were tapping rapeseed on the cement ground, looked up.
Mo Shigui picked up the microphone, and his voice came through the car's loudspeaker: "Would you like some suppressant powder? The rainy season is almost here, and the new suppressant powder can be sprinkled on the ground to control berserk behavior!"
In fact, before setting off into the city yesterday, Mo Shigui had notified all the lords via broadcast, but no one paid any attention to him at the time.
These inhibitory powders are the same as those sprinkled in the river at the Taoyuan base. They can eliminate some low-level mutated aquatic microorganisms and meet the daily irrigation needs of the villagers.
Of course, it also has another important function—it can slightly suppress the rampant growth of mutated plants during the rainy season.
When the planting area was cleared before, this kind of powder was spread on a large area of open ground, which prevented the mutated weeds in the territory from growing wildly.
The item is good, and the price is reasonable. At least Mo Shigui thinks the lords of Zone B can afford it.
But the Peach Blossom Base provides these facilities to farmers for free, while the lords of the base have to pay for them.
Of course, if you don't mind the trouble, you can also secretly go to Peach Blossom Base and carry back the river water that has been sprinkled with pesticide to pour on the ground, which can save a lot of points.
There is a risk of getting beaten up and dying.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father exchanged a glance, and Zhao Gang said, "Want some?"
After seeing the different harvests of rapeseed in Sheng Qingyang's field compared to the crops grown by other lords, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that these crops still needed careful care to yield a good harvest.
He immediately nodded, dropped the small stick used for pounding rapeseed, got up and ran back to his bedroom to retrieve his points card.
“Let’s go together.” Zhao Gang took his daughter’s hand, and the father and daughter pulled the hoverboard together to the entrance.
Upon seeing the people come out, Mo Shigui was overjoyed and immediately jumped out of the car to ask, "I asked the experts at Taoyuan Base, and the mutant crops that have been sprayed with the powder can at least achieve a 15% reduction in berserk behavior."
"But if it's used as a herbicide, it needs to be diluted with water, and the dosage is one box of powder per acre."
Then he asked Zhao Gang, "Do you only plan to use it for this one rainy season, or do you also stock up on some for daily use?"
"Let's take one rainy season, about one acre of land," Zhao Gang said.
Mo Shigui was quite familiar with the situation of Zhao Gang's farmland. Zhao Gang's family also grew evolutionary crops that were not distributed by the base. While selecting the medicinal powder, he tentatively asked:
"Are you planning to sell some of the seeds of your evolved crops?"
Zhao Gang took the five boxes of medicine powder, gestured for Zhao Xiaoxiu to swipe her card, and replied casually, "We'll see after the rainy season."
Mo Shigui was overjoyed; there was a great chance!
"One bottle costs 200 points, so I'll charge you a total of 1000 points."
Mo Shigui swiped the card and returned it to Zhao Xiaoxiu, then patted her head. Before Zhao Gang could unleash his murderous glare, he quickly got into the car, closed the door, and drove away.
Zhao Gang: "Naive."
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "......"
The little girl shook her hair, which had been messed up by being touched, and pulled five boxes of medicine powder home, calling out, "Sister Monkey!"
A baby and a monkey volunteered to take on the task of spreading medicine powder.
With only three days left until the 27th, the adults still need to hurry up and knock out all the harvested rapeseed, weigh it, register it, and store it properly.
This batch of rapeseed must be kept for seed production; it is a very important resource.
Moreover, after dealing with Zhao Xiaoxiu's family, they still had to deal with Sheng Qingyang's family.
I need to hurry up and finish processing the rapeseed these next two days, and also set aside some time to protect the planting area.
While the evolutionary sweet potato won't go crazy during the rainy season, it is precisely this that requires attention.
If we don't take proper precautions, the rampaging mutants during the rainy season could trample and destroy everything, making all the hard work of the previous three months go to waste.
