I was reborn after the end of the world

Chapter 104 Cold-Resistant Crops

The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became. I simply took off my clothes and went to bed. There were still 15 days left, so there was no rush...

The next day, because they cooked too much food last night, Yunyang and Sang Ning went to Lu Jinan's house to prepare the meal.

Sang Ning keenly felt that the aura of the two people had changed, as if the window paper was suddenly pierced.

Brother Lu openly picked up food and poured water for Yun Yao, and Sister Yaoyao accepted it calmly.

Sang Ning was very curious and wanted to know what happened to the two of them after he left last night.

But it was obvious that Brother Lu and Sister Yaoyao were not the kind of people who would say that, so they had to suppress their eager hearts.

Concentrate on cooking.

The first day of the New Year passed peacefully. On the second day of the New Year, Lu Jinyang was going to Chaoyang Base, and Yun Yao thought about it and decided to follow him.

As for Sang Ning, there were few people he knew at the base, and he was very fashionable and did not act as a light bulb for the two of them.

Da Zhuang and Xiaomi didn't go either and just stayed at home.

Lu Jinan concentrated on driving and did not deliberately talk to Yun Yao. Since she said to give her half a month to think about it, he would wait for her answer.

Yun Yao went to the room and packed some wild boar meat, and went to visit Li Shixian's house on the way. After all, it was good to have acquaintances in the base.

Lu Jinan wanted to look for Asan and the others, so he sent Yun Yao to the downstairs of Li Shixian's house, and then turned around to look for them.

Every time I went to Li Shixian's house, I would be stopped, and this time was no exception.

Yun Yao pulled down her mask and said, "I'm Yun Yao, looking for Li Shixian."

The younger brother downstairs recognized Yun Yao, but he still took out the walkie-talkie to contact his superiors, and only let Yun Yao in after receiving the order to release her.

When Yun Yao arrived at Li Shixian's house, Li Shixian had already opened the door and was waiting at the door.

"Yun Yao, you haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit down."

Li Shixian warmly invited Yun Yao into the house.

Li Shixian took a clean cup and poured Yun Yao a cup of hot water.

There was still some New Year atmosphere in Li Shixian's home. There was a couplet posted on the door, there were many red things in the house, and some candies and peanuts on the table.

Yun Yao opened her backpack, took out more than 20 kilograms of pork and a dumpling and put them on the table.

"Happy New Year."

Li Shixian didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

"Happy New Year, Yunyao. Cigarettes like these are hard to come by now."

Li Shixian put the pork back into the kitchen before asking Yun Yao, "Are you here alone? Are you going to eat here for lunch before going back?"

Yun Yao glanced at the time. It was almost 10 o'clock. "I came here with my teammates. He's busy with his work. He should be back soon."

Li Shixian sat on the sofa and pushed the plate of peanuts in front of Yun Yao. "Then let's have a meal here. We haven't been here for a long time."

Yun Yao did not refuse and agreed without hesitation.

"By the way, there was a piece of news from the base yesterday. It was said that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had developed some cold-resistant crops, sweet potatoes."

Yun Yao sat up straighter. She had originally wanted to go out and inquire about it in the afternoon, but she didn't expect Li Shixian to be so well-informed.

After Li Shixian finished speaking, he ran into the room again, took out a cloth bag, opened it, and found that the sweet potatoes were not very big.

Li Shixian stepped back in front of Yun Yao and said, "My dad and I cooked some yesterday. The sweet potatoes tasted okay, with a hint of astringency in the sweetness. But overall, it was enough to fill our stomachs during this time of food and clothing shortages."

Yun Yao picked it up and looked at it. The palm-length sweet potato was a bit thin, and the dark brown skin felt a bit hard. But as Li Shixian said, it was good enough to fill her stomach at this time, so who would care about the taste.

“Can we plant now?”

Li Shixian nodded: "Yes, but it has not been announced yet. You don't need to take care of these things very carefully. Just go outside and dig some soil, bury them, and plant them directly after they sprout. You can harvest once every two months. These things are high-yielding, and planting a little more can fill your stomach."

Yun Yao put down the sweet potato. This was good news for the survivors.

Most families have managed to hold on until now, and it is estimated that their food is running out. Now that the base has introduced these cold-resistant crops, those who have some points and some food stored at home will stop making trouble when they see hope.

Li Shixian stood up and put a small bag of sweet potatoes in front of Yun Yao, and then handed a small bag of black stuff to Yun Yao.

"This is a special fertilizer. When planting sweet potatoes, sprinkle a little bit on them and they will grow. You can just plant them directly later."

Yun Yao did not refuse: "Thank you."

Li Shixian: "That's too formal. By the way, fertilizer is scarce right now and is said to be difficult to make. I can grow some sweet potatoes and sell them to the base for points."

Yun Yao nodded, she thought so too.

Yun Yao and Li Shixian chatted for a while when there was a knock on the door.

Li Shixian went to open the door, and the person who came was Yun Yao's teammate Lu Jinan.

Lu Jinan walked over and sat down next to Yun Yao.

Listening to the two people continuing to chat, not long after, Li's father also came back.

The way the father and son get along is quite interesting. The son is idle at home while the father is busy outside.

Li Shixian cooked at noon, and Yun Yao and Lu Jinan said goodbye after eating.

After buying the tickets, the two went to the parking lot to pay the fee and drove out of the base.

Yun Yao showed Lu Jinan the cold-resistant sweet potatoes and described what Li Shixian had said again.

Lu Jinan nodded. Asan and the others had just said that, but they didn’t have enough supplies and couldn’t exchange them.

"You can give it a try."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

The car soon arrived at Yuxi Mansion. Before getting off the car, Lu Jinan suddenly asked, "Yun Yao, have you made up your mind?"

Yun Yao: "Didn't you say half a month?"

Song Jinan: "I'm just afraid that you've forgotten. Besides, I've already told you, can't I ask?"

Three black lines crossed Yun Yao's forehead. Lu Jinan simply didn't intend to save face anymore.

"I haven't thought it through yet. If you ask me this every day, I'll never think it through!"

Yun Yao opened the car door and got out, went to the 21st floor, knocked on Sang Ning's door, and briefly told her what happened.

Then Yun Yao went home, took a few sacks and a shovel, took the two cats, and went downstairs with Sang Ning.

The three of them drove to the suburbs, but there was nothing they could do as the entire city was submerged in water, and only on the mountains in the suburbs was there mud.

It was a lot of effort for the three of them. They shoveled away the snow and ice on top and then began to dig the frozen soil underneath.

We dug it some time ago, so now everyone is using clever tricks to dig it.

Just dig this frozen soil, and no one will make a sound!

After finally filling eight sacks, they moved the frozen soil and put it in the trunk.

Back at Yuyuxi Mansion, the frozen soil was moved to the 21st floor. According to Li Shixian, the frozen soil should be placed indoors and slightly thawed before sowing.

The next day, after the soil had thawed, Yun Yao and Lu Jin'an came to the 2st floor and planted the sweet potatoes with Sang Ning, spreading the special fertilizer.
