Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Everyone is really tired after going out.

After dinner and boiling water to take a bath, Xia Lunong returned to the room, plunged into the soft bed and fell asleep soundly.

Kong Zhi came over to take a look, helped him tuck in the mosquito net and went out.

There was no dream all night, Xia Lunong woke up very early the next day.

He hadn't slept on the bed for a long time, and his bones stretched out from his sleep, and he exuded an indescribable spirit.

He put on his slippers, stretched himself by the bed, and went out in shorts and a T-shirt.

The wind is a bit cold now, standing at the door of the room and being blown by the draft, he feels a little more awake.

Kong Zhi came in after brushing his teeth outside, saw him standing at the door, walked over and pinched his slender waist, lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek.

The movements are extremely proficient.

Xia Lunong is not used to this kind of intimacy, blushing with a smile that he didn't notice, his waist slumped back, and he stretched out his hand to push Kong Zhi's chest, "Hey, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

As he spoke, he didn't care about him or Kong Zhi's reaction, and quickly ran into the bathroom to get toothpaste and a toothbrush.

Kong Zhi followed him in, standing tall and leggy behind him, looking at the back of his head with a smile in his eyes.

When Xia Lunong turned her head and saw his expression, she almost looked at him from embarrassment, "What are you looking at?!"

"Nothing." Kong Zhi said, "Look at your cuteness."

Xia Lunong's goosebumps were about to rise, and she rubbed her arm vigorously, "I'm a big man, please be merciful, don't use such terrible adjectives."

Kong Zhi laughed lowly, reached out and touched the back of his furry head, "The hair has grown and covered the ears."

"I'm going to the market these two days to find someone to fix it." Xia Lunong was changed from the topic, and bumped him lightly with her leg, "Back off."

Kong Zhi backed away, "What's for breakfast?"

"Let's eat noodles." Xia Lunong thought for a while, "Go to the cafeteria to see if there is any fresh meat, and come back with a piece of meat. I will fry some sausages later, and see if I can eat fried noodles or something. There are too many things to do today. , I guess I don’t have much time to cook.”

Kong Zhi nodded, "I'll go now."

Xia Lunong took a cup and stood in the corridor, gruntingly brushing her teeth.

He had almost finished brushing his teeth before his brother and his previous brother came out of the house.

With messy hair on their heads, the two stood side by side under the eaves, brushing their teeth.

Xia Lunong spit out the water in her mouth, raised her hand to greet them, "Morning!"

Xia Huoqu: "Morning."

"Morning." Yan Xinian smiled, "You two got up really early today."

"Sleep a lot these days." Xia Lu raised the cup in her hand, "I finished brushing my teeth, brothers, take your time."

Xia Lunong put the cup back, and after washing his face, he came out to look at the Xia Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the corner of the yard.

Xiahuajiao didn't seem to have woken up yet. Standing in the morning light with its ragged canopy, it was exactly the same as the ordinary peppercorn tree next to it.

Xia Lunong didn't bother it. After checking the situation of the dozen or so pepper trees, she walked along the fence to the backyard.

They fenced off the front and back of the house. There were trees and fruits in the front yard, and there were only leeks planted in the back yard, and there were only bare fences and no weeds in the back yard.

Xia Lunong picked and picked in the backyard, and finally decided to plant the offspring of honeysuckle under the fence behind his former brother's house. When the time comes, use the supernatural power to urge the honeysuckle to crawl to both sides, trying to enclose the two families as much as possible.

After the little honeysuckle climbs to the front and blooms, it may become an embellishment in the middle of the pepper tree.

Xia Lunong glanced left and right, and Xia Huajiao's consent had to be obtained first.

The left and right honeysuckle does not grow so fast, and can slowly persuade Xiaohuajiao.

Xia Lunong made up her mind, went to the front and shouted, "I planted the little honeysuckle in the backyard."

Xia Huoqu: "Grow it. What kind of fertilizer do you want?"

"I don't need anything for the time being. I'll pull out the nearby grass, loosen the soil, plant it directly, and just water it thoroughly."

Before the sun came out, Xia Lunong picked up a hoe and did what she said.

They had cleaned up the backyard many times, fearing that there might be snakes hidden in it, but now there are not many weeds, but the ground is hard-pressed, so they have to dig up the soil little by little to disperse it.

Xia Lunong dug with difficulty one hoe after another.

There is a lot of debris hidden under the unremarkable soil-sorrel root balls, glass pieces, plastic pieces, grubs, tree roots, bricks...

Miscellaneous, everything.

While loosening the soil, he picked out the sundries inside and threw them into the dustpan.

Soon, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian came to help together.

With the addition of their two strong laborers, the speed of tidying up the backyard will be much faster.

Xia Lunong didn't intend to apply base fertilizer at first, but looking at it now, it is full of yellowish-brown soil or even sandy soil, which doesn't look very fertile. If no base fertilizer is applied, it will be difficult for Xiao Jinhua to absorb anything from the soil.

Furthermore, the soil has been dug up. They don't apply base fertilizer now, and they will probably dig holes to bury fertilizer in the future. Rather than working hard for a second time, it is better to finish the work in one go.

Xia Lunong straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'd better go to the cafeteria to change some manure, the soil is too thin."

Their family also raises pigs now, but the time of raising them is not too long.

The pig manure is piled up there and has not been fermented, so it cannot be used directly. Otherwise, the manure will be fermented under the soil for a second time, and the temperature will easily rise and burn the roots of the plants.

There are many parasites in unfermented manure, which is also a hidden danger for plants.

The dung in the cafeteria was burnt, clean and fluffy, much better than ordinary dung.

People in the base are used to changing some fertilizers before planting. Fertilizers are still in short supply, and most people can't change them.

Xia Huo channel: "I'll change it, you plant the honeysuckle first, and bury it farther away when we bury the fertilizer."

"Alright." Xia Lunong put down the hoe and went back to the house to get the honeysuckle vine.

These days, he has used abilities on this section of vines and that section of honeysuckle itself, and both are full of vitality.

The young leaves on the top of this vine are still tender and thick, and there is no sign of withering.

Xia Lunong touched the young leaves, dug a hole beside the fence, buried the lower half of the vines in, and brought a bucket of water over to drench the nearby land.

Even if this honeysuckle vine is planted.

It won't take long for it to take root, grow young leaves one after another, and make a home in their backyard.

Xia Lunong thumped his back, and said to Yan Xinian: "Brother Xinian, I will trouble you here, I will make breakfast first."

"Go do your work." Yan Xiannian muscled up and dug a hoe, "We'll finish it later."

Xia Lunong picked lentils, cucumbers and other things on the side of the house, and went back to the house to choose vegetables for breakfast.

He tore apart the tendons on the edge of the lentils, and then pinched out some parts that had been eaten by insects, and threw them into a small bucket under the chopping board.

The plants they grow now do not use pesticides, and insects can often be found. Sometimes a catty of lentils or eggplants is only half a catty left after picking.

Fortunately, the places where insects have been bitten and drilled can be cleaned out, and they can be sent to chickens, ducks and geese together with kitchen scraps, which is not too wasteful.

Several people finished their meal.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian are going to the property management committee. Yan Xiannian plans to promote a credit currency in the base to end the current state of bartering.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went to the field to have a look.

The land of their home was entrusted to Liao Cheng to take care of it during this time.

Liao Cheng can only help with watering and fertilizing, pulling weeds and loosening the soil and other relatively insignificant steps. He is too busy and usually does not do it.

Every time Xia Lunong and the others went out, they had to come back to face the wildly growing grass, and this time was no exception.

Looking at the grass in his five-cent vegetable field, Xia Lunong felt her scalp tingling, and turned her head to Kong Zhi with emotion, "If our crops also have this vitality, I won't worry."

Kong Zhi said: "With this vitality, it probably won't bear fruit."

Xia Lunong agreed, "This is true."

Crazy crops usually do not bear fruit. Before the catastrophe, farmers have to spray a pesticide called "chlormequat" on the crazy crops to inhibit the growth of the crops and increase the fruit setting rate.

It is useless for crops to grow luxuriantly, only to bear fruit.

Xia Lunong yawned and looked over the carrots, white radishes, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, garlic sprouts, and mustard greens in the field one by one.

Tomato bears the most fruit and ages the fastest. Even if the water and fertilizer can keep up now, its leaves are almost yellow, and many of the leaves have fallen off, exposing the stalks inside.

These tomatoes are old and have to be pulled out and replanted, otherwise they will produce fewer and fewer fruits and the situation will get worse.

Eggplants and peppers are not bad. These two plants have a feeling of evergreen trees. The water and fertilizer have kept up. The fruits are one tree after another, and there is basically no sign of aging.

They are estimated to have another two months of harvest until the frosts start to fall.

Carrots, radishes, garlic sprouts, and mustard greens are thriving, and everything is fine except for some signs of yellowing on the edges of individual leaves.

They took the time to pull out the weeds in the past two days, and then applied some fertilizer, it would probably be much better.

Xia Lunong turned around, picked the ripe tomatoes, eggplants and peppers together with Kong Zhi, and left them alone for the time being.

Xia Lunong hid the dustpan containing fruits and vegetables in the grass, "Come on, let's go up to the wheat and rice fields."

"En." Kong Zhi reached out and lifted the bamboo hat hanging on his back, "Put on the bamboo hat."

"It's so stuffy and hot, I want to blow some air." Xia Lunong shook his hand to avoid it, "The sun won't shine today, forget it."

Kong Zhi glanced at him, without force.

The two climbed the mountain with hoes on their shoulders, and went to the wheat field first.

The wheat that was blown down by the wind last time has all stood up, but the ears of wheat are as big as kidney beans, heavy, and the branches are bent.

The ears of wheat that stood up were hanging down, almost to the ground.

The ears and stalks are yellow and look almost ripe.

Xia Lunong reached out and grabbed a grain of wheat, put it in her mouth and bit it lightly.

The wheat grains are still a little bursting, but not completely hardened. It is estimated that it will take another ten or eight days to fully mature.

Xia Lunong was a little surprised. He originally thought that when they came back this time, the wheat should be ripe.

It is estimated that because the grains of wheat are too large and ripen very slowly, he could not predict it accurately.

Xia Lunong bent down to look carefully.

The wheat leaves became thinner, not much different from normal wheat.

When this batch of mutated wheat first germinated, the wheat leaves were thick and tender, not like gramineous plants at all.

Now their stalks and leaves are thicker and stronger than ordinary wheat, and there is nothing unusual about them.

It seems that this is an excellent mutant wheat, the kind that is totally worth promoting.

Kong Zhi held the ears of wheat in his hands, "One ear weighs half a catty to one catty."

"Probably." Xia Lunong was in a high mood, "I just don't know how they taste. When the wheat is harvested, we'll roll the noodles and eat them."

Kong Zhi: "It's probably the same when it's ground into flour."

"I guess so." Xia Lunong remembered, "It's just that there is no mill in the base, and this batch of wheat must be manually milled."

"Go out and look for it later. This batch of wheat is estimated to be reserved for seeding, and there is not much room for using a mill."

Xia Lunong stood up and stretched, "Then let's go see the rice fields?"

"Well, by the way, let's see how the fish are. If they look similar, catch two fish and eat them."

Xia Lunong didn't know if it was influenced by the shape of the beast, but now she likes to eat fish very much, the kind that makes her eyes light up when she smells fishy smell.

His eyes shine brightly, "It happens that there is a lot of peanut oil in the house, so you can fry the fish, coat with some flour, and the bones will be crispy. You can also fry it on high heat, if it is dry, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and you can eat the bones together."

Kong Zhi pushed his shoulder, "Go."

The two walked along the path to the terraced fields on the mountain.

The terraced fields on both sides of the road were originally planted with rice, but now the rice is basically harvested, leaving only short stubble soaked in water.

When they looked at it, they could see several loach eels and so on at a glance.

Now there are no pesticides and fertilizers, and there are many loaches and eels hidden in the fields of every household. These are also counted as private property, and you can’t catch them if you see them.

Xia Lunong looked greedy, "I don't know if there are loaches in our fields, I will catch half a catty and go back to fry the peppers."

Kong Zhi was amused by the word "we" in his words, and said: "If you want to eat, I'll grab it for you."
