Chapter 1284 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (11)
Over there, Xu Yin went to bed late, so naturally she woke up late.
"Yinyin, come up quickly! I'm just sending you! Brother Ning is frying eggs, and dinner is about to be served!"
Xu Xi lay on the handrail of the spiral staircase and shouted to her.
Xu Yin rubbed her sleepy eyes, found a medium-thick coat and put it on. She looked up and saw the natural diffuse light coming from the garden patio on the second floor. It felt really good to have three childhood sweethearts beside her.
Four children gathered in the open kitchen on the third floor to have breakfast together.
A glass of milk, half an egg pancake, and half an apple per person.
Sitting on a high chair around the stone bar, my calves swaying, it felt very comfortable.
Halfway through eating, Xu Dong remembered the reward and turned to ask Xu Yin: "Yin Yin, is the **** awake? What will he give us today?"
Xu Yin was well prepared. She stretched out her hand and found a picture book lying in her palm.
“It’s a storybook!”
“No.” Xu Yin corrected, “Teach us how to grow vegetables.”
After speaking, he took out another book: "Teach us how to raise fish."
…”
Xu Dong blinked: Today’s two rewards are two books?
It's not a story book, it's a book that teaches them how to grow vegetables and raise fish. It's similar to the agricultural technology book that the dean's mother borrowed from the city library.
The egg pancake in my hand suddenly lost its aroma.
Ning Jin was very happy: "I've eaten! I'll get the vegetable seeds. After you finish eating, we will learn how to grow vegetables together."
Xu Dong was a little discouraged: "Brother Ning, we are still children."
“But there are no adults here, just us four children. If we don’t learn how to grow vegetables, we will be hungry when the gods leave.”
Xu Dong was dumbfounded: "Huh? Gods and gods are leaving? Why are they leaving?"
Before Ning Jin could speak, Xu Xi rushed to say: "I know, I know! The home of the gods is in the sky. He comes here to play. He will go home when he has had enough, right Brother Ning?"
Ning Jin nodded.
Xu Dong refused to give up: "What if the gods are like us and have no home? Isn't it good to stay here?"
Xu Xi took a bite of the fragrant egg pancake and retorted: "The gods are so powerful, how can they not have a home?"
…”
Xu Yin really captivated their imagination.
After taking the last bite of the apple, she clapped her hands and slid off the high stool, standing next to Ning Jin. She planned to go with him to get vegetable seeds. If there was a chance, she would replace them with large, plump and high-quality seeds from the system warehouse.
Ning Jin rewarded her with a White Rabbit toffee that she had saved, and turned to urge the two little ones: "Hurry up! Yin Yin has eaten! You are still grinding. Dongdong, it's your turn today." You wash the dishes."
"Know it."
A quarter of an hour later, the four children gathered in the garden patio on the second floor.
Due to the snowstorm weather recently, the lighting system uses the previously stored light energy. In order to save energy, it is automatically adjusted to low-light mode, giving people a feeling of dawn in the morning or sunset in the evening. However, it does not affect vision.
Four children followed the illustrations in the book and learned to grow vegetables step by step.
The first step was to select seeds. Ning Jin knew the Chinese characters for "big" and "full", so she guessed that she would have to pick a big and plump one, so everyone immersed themselves in picking them.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi were still childishly holding the seeds and competing to see who could pick the bigger one.
Put aside what you picked out, and then plant it into the ground.
Fortunately, Xu Yin had packaged them before picking them. Each of these seeds is a healthy, fresh and high-quality seed, so you don’t have to worry about the seeds failing to survive.
After selecting the seeds, Ning Jin and Xu Dong went to loosen the soil with small hoes.
In fact, the soil is soft and fertile, so you can plant immediately without doing anything. Isn’t this what the book says to loosen the soil? So the two young men shouldered the responsibility of this physical work.
Xu Yin and Xu Xi followed them and sowed seeds.
Sow the seeds, cover with a thin layer of soil, and water thoroughly.
“It hasn’t sprouted yet!”
Ning Jin poured cold water on him. He was holding the book and reading it half-understood, skipping words he didn't recognize. After stumbling through the book, he actually understood half of it.
"Even if they sprout, they still have to be planted separately." Ning Jin read the paragraph about thinning and said with her own understanding.
Xu Dong didn’t understand and asked: “Why should we separate?”
Xu Xi answered quickly: "It will be too crowded if we don't separate. Cai Cai will feel uncomfortable."
She recalled the experience of sharing a Datong bunk with seven or eight children when she was a child. Even though she was not very old now, a bed for one person was obviously much more comfortable than a Datong bunk.
“Yinyin, are you right?”
Xu Xi also pulled in an ally after speaking.
Xu Yin blinked: "...right."
Xu Xi showed off to Xu Dong: "Look! Yin Yin also praised me for being right."
Xu Dong curled his lips and said, "What Yin Yin said doesn't count. She answers 'right' to everything."
Xu Yin: “…”
Would you like to try it?
…
The first batch of vegetable seeds were sown in the ground amidst the chirping discussions of the children.
I went up there several times a day to see if they had sprouted.
When I saw that there were no sprouts, my little face was so sad that I twisted my head.
"Is it because there is no fertilizer? I know!" Xu Dong didn't know what he thought of, turned around and ran downstairs.
Xu Xi ran after him and asked, "Dongdong, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to **** the stinky stuff!" Xu Dong's excited voice came from downstairs. "The dean's mother said the stinky stuff we pooped was good. She often scooped it up to fertilize the vegetable fields, but we didn't fertilize the vegetable fields. , so the vegetables don’t sprout.”
After a pause, he nodded and confirmed his idea: "Well, I am really smart!"
Xu Xi was anxious when he heard this: "I had a bowel movement in the morning, what should I do if I don't have a smelly thing now?"
Xu Dong comforted her like a young adult: "It's okay, I'll use my smelly smell today and your smelly smell tomorrow."
Xu Xi was instantly happy: "Okay."
…”
Xu Yin opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Ning Jin stopped Xu Dong and said, "You can't pour fertilizer on the smell immediately. The book says you need to fertilize in different areas."
District fertilizer?
Xu Yin stood on tiptoe and glanced at the "100 Pictures to Teach You to Learn to Grow Vegetables from Scratch" in his hand. She had chosen this book, and there was no difference in her impression.
Oh, it turns out to be retting fertilizer.
That’s okay.
She chose an introduction to growing vegetables on the balcony. Fertilizing is not difficult at all.
Step aside and let Ning Jin persuade Little Cannonball to come back.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi returned to the negative second floor.
“What is district fertilizer? Can’t we use smelly fertilizer? Then why does the dean’s mother always use smelly fertilizer?”
“That’s what the book says.” Ning Jin pointed to one of the lines and showed him.
Xu Dong stared at Zi for a long time. Maybe Zi knew him, but he didn't know Zi. He scratched his head and said, "Okay! Listen to you, Brother Ning."
As for how to distinguish fat... Ning Jin looked at the picture for a long time and seemed to understand:
“The book says, pour the rice water into the finished yogurt bottle and shake it, and soak the fruit peels, egg shells, and vegetable leaves in the water for a few days to fertilize the vegetable field.”
"Is this enough?" Xu Dong couldn't believe it, "Is it that simple?"
It’s easier than pulling a stink. Pulling a stink sometimes requires you to squat for a while with a red face. This area is not difficult at all.
