Chapter 101 The Difficult Task
Chapter 101 The Difficult Task
"What do you mean?" Qi Yu sat down next to Lan Qiao, and unceremoniously picked up a piece of spicy crab to eat.
Qi Zijia shared his thoughts on the beach this morning, "How do you feel?"
Qi Yu and Lan Qiao looked at each other and smiled, "It's good, but it can't be done in a short time. At least we can't think about it until the Zerg has retreated. Oh, by the way, Xiaojia, what do you think Xi Haixing is doing?" Can food be grown here? Although there are some lands, experts have seen them and said that those are saline-alkali lands, which are not suitable for planting.”
Qi Zijia thought for a while, "I remember reading a book that said sea rice can be planted in this kind of place. In addition, I also know that there is a kind of sorghum that can also be planted in saline-alkali land."
"Sorghum?" Qi Yu and Lan Qiao looked at each other. "That stuff doesn't seem very tasty."
"Whether it tastes good or not depends on how it is made." Qi Zijia dropped the crab in his hand, "Sorghum can be used to make sugar, wine, and animal feed. At that time, an industrial chain can be formed."
Lan Qiao's eyes lit up.
Can wine be made?
This is the fastest way to get money.
Food is needed for wine making, and food is in short supply in every country, which leads to the scarcity and high price of wine.If they have a batch of wine in their hands, they can quickly open a channel in exchange for more funds or needed supplies.
"Bebe, are you sure?"
"Really? I'm afraid it will take trial and error, and it may take a long time. Moreover, success is not guaranteed." Qi Zijia frowned and said.
This is a big project, he dare not make a decision casually.
For cooking, he followed his parents since he was a child and knew a little bit.But in farming, he learned everything systematically.Now let’s talk about the things in memory are fine, but actually operate, he has to check a lot of information.
"Don't be afraid, I'll prepare everything you need." Lan Qiao was breathing unsteadily, holding Qi Zijia's shoulders with both hands, "Help me!"
Qi Zijia looked at Lan Qiao and nodded vigorously, "Okay! I'll have someone take me on a field trip this afternoon."
After lunch, before the guide arrived, Qi Zijia quickly checked the information.
There is no seawater rice in Interstellar, and it takes several graftings to cultivate seawater rice that can be grown in saline-alkali land and tidal flat areas.
Fortunately, Qi Zijia has a system.
He gritted his teeth and used all the remaining points to open up a simulated planting room. Although only a small amount of plants can be grown, in this simulated planting room, the time flow rate can be adjusted to double the speed of the real world outside, allowing him to grow at the fastest speed. Cultivate seawater rice suitable for planting.
Qi Zijia walked on the saline-alkali land, collecting data with the system while walking.
Although everyone told him that West Starfish is a planet dominated by oceans, the land area is not very large.But that's based on the entire planet, that's not a lot, but it's enough to shock Qi Zijia.
At least the land that can be seen in front of my eyes is endless, and I don't know how much there is.
"How many acres is this piece of land?"
"How many acres?" The man froze for a moment, "This piece of land is about [-] square kilometers. There are four or five pieces of land like this here, and the others are too far away. There is really too little land in the West Sea."
"How much?" Qi Zijia almost choked on his own saliva.
One square kilometer is [-] mu, and thirty square kilometers is [-] mu.The Yunxing Farm jointly opened by him and Huang Huang is only [-] mu, which is the size of three Yunxing Farms.
How many seeds are needed for such a large place, but if it is developed in the future, this place will be a planet rich in products, not only self-sufficient, but also some products can be exchanged for other materials or funds.
Although there is a lot of land here, it has to be said that most of it is saline-alkali land.According to the classification of the land by the system, these lands do not even reach the most common white, but are gray.
But there are also some white, which is not bad.
Now that the system mall has opened, the fertile grass can be purchased, but the system still needs to charge half of the harvest.
This is really helpless, the system is a black-hearted thing!
The fertile grass seeds collected from Yunxing before have been used in the small farm of the Culinary Academy.Looking at the remaining points, you can buy a hundred catties of grass seeds at most, this is because the seeds of fertile grass are very cheap.
Back after seeing the land, Qi Zijia stayed alone in the room to study how to deal with the land.
Xi Haixing belongs to the border, and it is wartime now, only people from this planet can communicate with each other, even if Qi Zijia wants to communicate with Huang Huang now, he can't do it, he has to go through Lan Qiao or Qi Yu.
Lan Qiao didn't say anything on the surface of the vinegar bucket, and he must have made a bad face again.
As for Qi Yu, he hadn't seen each other for a few months, and he was dark and thin, and Qi Zijia didn't want to bother them for a little thing.
After working around the house all afternoon, Qi Zijia still didn't come out when it was time for dinner.Yun Sheng walked over and knocked on the door, "Young Master Jia, it's time for you to take a break. And you have to eat."
Qi Zijia didn't even raise his head, "Is brother back?"
"Not coming back tonight."
"Oh, that's just right. Bring me the rice." Qi Zijia rubbed his eyes and said.This afternoon, it seemed that he was lying on the table and writing something, but in fact he was grafting rice seeds in the system's virtual planting room.
The virtual planting room is only tens of meters long. It takes nearly four months for a rice seed to grow from a seedling to a mature rice. With the support of the system, this time can be greatly shortened.
However, the multiplier of acceleration is adjusted by points.
Twice the speed, only two points are needed, and three times the speed has already doubled the points.Qi Zijia came at ten times the speed and needed more than 500 points.
These more than 500 points were lent to Qi Zijia by the system, and all his own points have been used to buy fertile grass.
But ten times the speed can only shorten the original time of nearly four months to eleven days, and will be able to complete the research before he leaves.But the advantage is that the rice seeds researched in the virtual planting room can be planted directly.
Observing in the virtual planting room all the time, Qi Zijia stayed up until late at night, and fell asleep lying on the table.
Accompanying him was Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng has been persuading Qi Zijia to sleep, and Qi Zijia naturally asked him not to disturb him at the critical moment. The two of them slept on the table all night.
Lan Qiao came back early in the morning.I didn't return all night, so I went to the cafeteria to bring rice porridge and pickles made by the cafeteria, as well as a few pieces of steamed sweet potatoes.
This is a regular meal in the cafeteria.
Although Zhang's family sent a lot of rice noodles this time, according to the nature of Zhang's urine, someone must have put pressure this time, probably his father.But I don't know when it will be delivered next time, so I can't eat rice and noodles every day, except that on the first day, everyone eats rice and other meat, and then resumes the usual meals.
But what's better than usual is that I can drink some rice porridge in the morning, and I can have steamed buns in the evening, and I don't have to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes.Yesterday Qi Zijia brought those small fish back, but he gave everyone meat. Although they usually have a meal of meat every other day, most of them are processed from frozen minced meat. This kind of meat is easy to store, and the resident has a lot of storage.
Qi Zijia cooks for himself, so he doesn't know this.Lan Qiao bought some sweet potatoes from the canteen today and brought them to Qi Zijia.
After entering the small courtyard where he lived, Zhou Haifeng followed. He also came back from the cafeteria.Yesterday was Yunsheng night, but Zhou Haifeng also knew that Qi Zijia slept very late, and it was impossible to get up and cook today, so he bought ready-made ones.
"Beibei isn't up yet?" Lan Qiao looked at the closed door of the main house and looked at Zhou Haifeng.
"Yesterday, Young Master Jia was busy until very late, so he probably hasn't woken up yet."
"Let's put the food in the dining room. I'll call them up." Lan Qiao opened the door and went in, only to find that the room was very quiet, and there were still snoring in the quiet.
Lan Qiao went over and gave Yun Sheng a light kick, "Why don't you go to bed?" Even though he was on duty at night, he still had a bed.
"Young master?" Yun Sheng rubbed his eyes, and suddenly became agitated. "Young Master Jia..."
"Go eat first, and rest after dinner." Lan Qiao was very kind to the few servants around her. They were not only servants, but also right-hand men in the future.
Pushing open the door of the inner room, Lan Qiao's heart twitched.
Qi Zijia was sleeping soundly lying on the table, and he didn't even hear him and Yun Sheng talking outside.And under Qi Zijia's arm was a piece of paper full of words, full of plans for the saline-alkali land.
Lan Qiao felt very distressed.It was obvious that he had stayed up all night, and he probably just fell asleep.
"Bebe? Wake up and go to bed."
Lan Qiao's voice didn't wake Qi Zijia up. Ever since he arrived in Xingji, Qi Zijia really went to sleep on time every day.Except for the night when Joe Lan was there.
I stayed up all night yesterday and fell asleep at dawn, how could I wake up.Even though Lan Qiao called him, he still slept soundly like a pig.
Lan Qiao was helpless, and put the sweet potato in her hand on the table, planning to hug Qi Zijia to bed.
At this moment, Qi Zijia's nose suddenly moved a few times, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
Before Lan Qiao could speak, Qi Zijia only opened a small slit of eyes, caught the piece of sweet potato with precision, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
Lan Qiao: ...
"Ancestor, wake up first." Lan Qiao snatched the sweet potato, carried him to the bathroom, wiped Qi Zijia's face with a hot towel, squeezed toothpaste on the toothbrush and stuffed it into the other's hand, "Wash up, eat breakfast, Then go to bed."
After wiping his face, Qi Zijia finally woke up, took the toothbrush and began to brush his teeth, and mumbled, "No, I have to go to the fields later."
"It's a long-term thing, don't rush it right now." Lan Qiao waited for him to finish brushing his teeth and drag him to the dining room for dinner. "Sea Breeze, watch him sleep for a while, and don't allow him to go out until he is full of sleep."
"Yes, my lord."
"I have business to do. I'll bring back some of the land in the morning, and I'll waste a lot of time going there at night." Qi Zijia explained while eating, as fast as someone who came out of a military camp.
I was supposed to bring some soil back yesterday, but I was in a hurry to come back and didn't understand it. I didn't think about it until I started experimenting in the virtual planting room at night.This system really has nothing to do with him and hangs up high, without reminding him at all.
"Then go and come back quickly." Lan Qiao thought for a while, "Your body is important."
"Yeah!" Qi Zijia nodded, "This sweet potato is quite delicious. Many people in the military camp like it, right?"
"The cafeteria only has steamed sweet potatoes, steamed potatoes, I almost vomit." Zhou Haifeng complained beside him.
"...What a waste of everything!" Qi Zijia gulped down the porridge and stood up, "After I've been busy for the past two days, I'll study some recipes!"
Everyone present was overjoyed.
