wasteland ranch

Chapter 18 First Harvest
For Ga Beng, a stupid and cute gopher, Chen Elong commented that it was not tasty, but Bai Ruochu used a dagger to verify that it would not hurt anyone, and then ignored it.

Except for the fact that Hu Xiaoer always wanted to borrow it as a doll to sleep in his arms, but was ruthlessly rejected by Bai Ruochu and Lin Guiyao, this little guy's sense of existence is indeed low.

Lin Guiyao touched his pocket, and there were 150 G coins in it, but there are no seeds for him to domesticate now, so he can only hope that the potatoes he planted will have a good harvest as soon as possible...

This night, Lin Guiyao rarely slept very peacefully.

……

"Brother Lin, get up! Live alive!"

The sleepy Lin Guiyao hadn't finished drinking tea from Duke Zhou when he was dragged out of the house by the excited Hu Xiaoer and came to the cesspit where he had planted potatoes yesterday.

"This is……"

"Brother Lin is amazing. It took only one day to sprout and grow so big. Brother Lin, have you changed your tricks again?"

Hu Xiaoer squatted on the ground, holding Lin Guiyao with one hand and pointing excitedly at a seedling with the other.

Rubbing his eyes, Lin Guiyao was surprised to see a strong "seedling", proudly breaking through the constraints of the soil, stretching to its heart's content in the early morning sun, and even a few drops condensed on the edges of the green leaves. A small dewdrop brings a strong sense of vitality to my face.

Lin Guiyao was not surprised at all that potato seeds that only took 7 days to mature could germinate today. What surprised him was that he seemed to have underestimated this seed, which was worth 1000G.

It is said to be a seedling, but this guy has grown to a height of more than 20 centimeters!
The seven or eight leaves that haven't fully unfolded are about four to five centimeters in size. If it weren't for the string of system blue characters in front of him compared to the exaggerated stem and leaves, Lin Guiyao would have thought it was a plant that was about to bloom Tomatoes!
[Potato seedlings: not yet watered]

Temporarily putting aside the doubts about how the seed, which was only the size of a quail egg, grew into a giant overnight, Lin Guiyao noticed the words "not yet watered".

Not watered yet?

Could it be said that domesticated seeds can grow normally only by watering?
I rub it, then this one is amazing!
Thinking about the ranch games I have played, it is true that the setting is that after you get up and water the plants, you can happily go fishing for bubble girls, and then sit back and wait for the harvest.

If this is the case, then Lin Guiyao can almost imagine that he only needs to prevent the physical damage to the plants caused by typhoons, wild animals and other factors, and water every day. It does not necessarily need to fertilize, prevent pests and diseases, etc.

This can save a lot of labor and management costs, and it’s so buggy!
This thousand G is worth it!
I just don’t know what this potato will look like after seven days. After all, it’s so scary on the first day.

Seeing Bai Ruochu, who was startled by Hu Xiaoer's cry, also come over, observing the sturdy potato seedling in surprise, Lin Guiyao slowly put his hand into his trouser pocket, and squinted at the sky at a 45-degree angle:

"Calm down, basic operation."

"Strange plants, strange guys..."

Hello!What does weird guy mean?
Didn't you make a cheat sheet?Is it hard to call my name? !

……

Lin Guiyao, who was in good spirits on happy occasions, saw everything pleasing to the eye today, so he dismissed the yawning Chen Elong early and continued to move supplies to the hut.

As for Bai Ruochu, he stayed for another purpose.

Handing Ga Beng to Hu Xiaoer to be tortured, the two walked to the broken wooden bridge, where more than a dozen traces of ax chopping ferociously accused the atrocities committed by human beings.

It's hard to create, but easy to destroy.

Knowing that Bai Ruochu would not allow himself to express himself here for too long, Lin Guiyao went straight to the point.

"This suspension bridge is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary manpower, including the magical pool, the black rock that can burn in your mouth, and the passage leading to the sea of ​​darkness..."

"Can you...can you tell me a little bit about this village?"

……

No one knew the result of the conversation that day, only Hu Xiaoer noticed that Lin Guiyao's right hand seemed to be swollen a little more, and his brows were more wrinkled.

But what was surprising was that the strange potato seedling grew bigger day by day, and was irrigated with sufficient water every day, until the seventh day, finally ushered in the day of harvest.

Although I didn't understand why Lin Guiyao had to plan off this strange bush-like plant with white flowers that had just withered in just seven days, everyone still gathered around.

It's not that they haven't seen the plants before, but they are so luxuriant and strange that even Bai Ruochu, who has been out of the village the most, has never "mentioned".

Roughly hoeing off the soft stems and leaves, a stream of green juice gurgled from the broken stems in an instant. Lin Guiyao warmly reminded everyone that the leaves are highly poisonous, and then began to dig potatoes one by one.

But after digging, Lin Guiyao discovered something was wrong.

Normal potatoes are usually the size of a fist, and they are oval like eggs, and a potato plant can generally produce three to five such "eggs".

Even if this potato is a bit strange, the algorithm that Lin Guiyao will receive 4096 potatoes in two months is based on the fact that each plant can receive at least one potato.

But now, Lin Guiyao had dug almost half a meter deep, and he didn't even see a piece of potato skin.

If he could not still see the broken stem, he would almost doubt his life...

Could it be that a fake potato was planted?
But the system clearly shows [Potatoes: Harvestable]!
puff!

Just as he was feeling anxious, Lin Guiyao suddenly felt that the touch of his hoe had become a bit wrong.

"Dig it?"

I saw a pink-yellow fragment hanging from the end of the hoe. Looking at the cross-section, it was clearly just a small part of the potato that had been hoeed off.

Lin Guiyao took the small piece of potato and smelled it, and found the unique smell of potato starch in the mud, which was very pleasant.

Half-hearted, he immediately carefully dug up the surrounding soil, and a potato the size of a football appeared.

"Okay... so big!"

Hu Xiaoer covered his mouth and exclaimed.

【Potatoes】Herbaceous plants, tubers contain a lot of starch and a small amount of complete amino acids, which can be eaten.The leaves are highly toxic.

[Mature period is 7 days, selling price: 10G.Can be planted. 】

Sure enough, the price doubled from the seed state, from 5G to 10G, which confirmed Lin Guiyao's conjecture.

However, this football-sized potato, which can be regarded as a daily ration for an adult, is actually only worth 10G, which is completely incomparable with wild high coconuts as high as 50G!
Thinking of high coconut, Lin Guiyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Coconut is said to be highly nutritious, but that’s it, the price cannot be five times higher than that of domesticated potatoes. The difference between the two should be added. thing:
Auxiliary products!

Coconut wax, coconut palm, coconut husk, coconut meat, coconut water, all of these together should be the reason why a wild tall coconut can be sold for 50G.

Then,

What accessories does this potato have?
