Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 95

Chapter 95

The laughter of the mother and daughter sprinkled on the road, and a child held by the elders stretched his neck curiously and looked around.

"Honey, we are about to arrive at the farm." The elder reminded.

The child nodded hurriedly: "I'm good."

The closer you get to the farm, the brighter the world in front of you and the more pedestrians.

"There are so many people here, some people set up stalls here!" Qiao Songzhi was surprised, it looked like a small market.

"Yeah, after all, it's bright here. Even the market can't compare to it." The farm is like a natural artificial sun, attracting countless residents to move closer to here. farm work.

Arriving at the gate of the farm, Qiao Qingqing went to a window to register and handed in five buckets of chicken manure. "Today's exchange vegetables are big winter melons. The weight of these chicken manures... Even if you have two winter melons

, would you change them?

"

, one is even bigger, Qiao Songzhi hugged him, feeling heavy. Qiao Qingqing hugged the other one and put the winter melon on the car in the envious gaze of others.

The two of them, "carrying a lot of treasure", didn't dare to stay any longer. They didn't even go to the temporary market, and happily carried the winter melon home. The security team was patrolling intensively, and although there were unfriendly sight lines, the two went back smoothly.

On the road, Qiao Songzhi held the winter melon on his legs to protect it, for fear that the road bumps would damage the winter melon.

"Qingqing, how did you know that the farm collects chicken manure as fertilizer?"

"I came to ask them if they wanted chicken manure. Fortunately, the farm collected it, otherwise I would have to find a way to compost the chicken manure and use it myself. ." Now materials are in short supply, chicken manure is also a valuable material, but it is reluctant to throw it away. "We don't grow a lot of vegetables at home, so the chemical fertilizers I stock up are enough. Retting chicken manure is a little troublesome and time-consuming, and it tastes great, so it's not suitable for making it at home. It's better to send it to the farm for ready-made fruits and vegetables."

Qiao Songzhi wrote it down and felt that he had also learned something. In terms of survival, her daughter really works very hard. She feels that although she is inexperienced, she can keep up with her daughter's footsteps and learn and progress together.

She thought about it, hoping that she too could find some inspiration for adding supplies to her home.

Under the street light, a dark color flashed by, Qiao Songzhi sat up straight and looked back: "Qingqing, I seem to have seen weeds, can we take the weeds home and chop them up and feed them to the chickens?"

A minute later, the tricycle backed up to the point where Qiao Songzhi saw Location of weeds.

In the corner of the roadside building, there really was a clump of gray-brown plants, Qiao Songzhi hesitated: "It's dead, it's a pity, these two years have been either high temperature or thick fog and acid rain. It's been a long time since I saw a wild plant outside."

"It's not dead, it's still alive." Qiao Qingqing looked at the familiar plant in front of her. This gray-brown weed was one of the most common wild plants in the eternal night in her previous life. It tastes bitter, but because there is no abdominal pain after eating it, after being verified by the "Eternal Night New Plant Guide" released by the research institute to be non-toxic, it has been picked and eaten by many people. Of course, Qiao Qingqing has also eaten a lot. After all, the supplies were too few, and the amount of relief supplies distributed above was not large, and it was only sent out after a long time. Sometimes she was too hungry, so she went outside to find weeds and chewed on a handful of dry grass, with a dry grass-like texture and a bitter taste. Barely able to soothe a hungry stomach.

"Not dead?" Qiao Songzhi couldn't believe it. She reached out to touch it. She was surprised to find that the grass in front of her was really not dead. However, this leaf is not thick, and it looks like a flexible piece of paper when pinched.

"This is a newly grown variety after Yongye, and there will be more in the future." Qiao Qingqing said.

Qiao Songzhi understood that without the sun, how could plants grow green. She asked the question from a practical point of view: "If you feed chickens, will chickens eat?"

"I haven't tried feeding chickens, but I have eaten them. It's non-toxic. Let's get some back and try." Chickens living in the end of natural disasters , You have to eat a little of everything just like the survivors to grow strong.

The two pulled up this clump of weeds and put them together with the winter gourd.

After returning home, Qiao Songzhi simply washed the wild grass, chopped it, mixed it with the feed, and fed it to the five chicks in a compartment.

For the time being, I can't see the effect of the new weeds on the chickens, but when they were patrolling the community, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan would pick up some weeds in the corner and bring them back to feed the chickens.

Later, there were more and more new plants growing in the dark corners, as if all the weeds that used to be common on the roadside had perished, and the new plants looked unfamiliar. The new community is relatively highly developed, and there are relatively few wild areas. These plants grow in the corners of the buildings at most. Outside the new community, these plants grow recklessly and grow rapidly in just a few months in unmanned corners. .

The institute opened a new project to study new plants, analyze their safety, and released the "Eternal Night New Plant Safety Report" in a timely manner through the broadcast. Most of the new plants are non-toxic, but this does not mean that they are all edible. Some people will have numbness in their tongues after eating them, and some will experience abdominal pain after eating them... But in the periphery of the base, many people did not hear the reports. I dug it up and ate it before. As long as you don't die, a little discomfort is nothing.

The weeds on the periphery of the base were quickly dug up, and spring came soon, and more weeds grew in the uninhabited areas in the wild, which were coveted in pieces. The spring breeze also brought the vitality of wild vegetables. The field expedition team of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences brought back many new wild vegetables and notified the survivors through the broadcast.

The field collection team is gradually taking shape, and many people go to the wider area outside to collect in groups, hoping to have a full meal this spring.

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan have jobs, so it is unrealistic to go to the wild to collect, making it even more unsafe for Qiao Songzhi and the others to go. Fortunately, there is enough feed at home, and her and Sheng An's points can also be exchanged for new feed made from crow meat and vulture meat from the material cart, which is enough for raising chickens.

Chi Yuxiu and Qiao Qingqing later exchanged two chickens, one male and one female. The rooster died in the middle, so she exchanged another chicken. Up to now, the chickens in her family have also started to lay eggs. She and her mother-in-law are temporarily reluctant to eat eggs, so they keep the chicks for hatching. The two of them raised chickens on the seventh floor, and it is false to say that there is no smell, but they are both people who love cleanliness. The 602 family will occasionally exchange eggs with Qiao Qingqing's family, and Qiao Songzhi will give the other party a preferential price for the neighbors. This way, the other party has no objection.

Seeing that Qiao Qingqing and the others have a good effect of pulling weeds and feeding chickens, Chi Yuxiu also wants to give it a try. So when Pei Yan returned home, he saw the chickens grazing.

"Although there is no sun, there is still enough rain in the spring. There are too many weeds and vegetables that have grown up recently. A friend of mine is in the field investigation team and has not come back for several days. I heard that it has been outside. It is said to be a variety of weeds in the past. There is no sun, so it grows into this color. In this case, there are many wild fields outside. The field investigation team in the institute brought back many new varieties. Now we are waiting for the research institute to extract them. There is no sun, although the output of the farm can still be sustained, but it will not work in the long run, the cost of power generation and lighting is too high."

"It doesn't sound too bad. Although there have been disasters, we must be able to find a way to deal with it, right?" Chi Yuxiu said softly.

"Yeah, there is always hope." Pei Yan took a deep breath, and then raised his smiling face, "I heard that the new feed is very effective for pigs and mice, and it should also be possible to feed chickens. Get some at home."

Chi Yuxiu hurriedly said, "If there is a chance, I will exchange a little more, and I will send some to the next door."

"It should be."

A month later, Qiao Qingqing's family received a bag of feed from Chi Yuxiu.

Qiao Qingqing said with a smile: "My family has it, and I exchange it with the points of the crossbow team."

Chi Yuxiu suddenly realized, a little embarrassed: "That's my superfluous act."

"Sister Chi, don't say that, I'm very grateful. Remember us, and send such valuable feed to my house, but Sheng An and I both work in the crossbow team, and some points can be exchanged for feed, you can take this bag of feed back."

Since Qiao Qingqing has it at home, Chi Yu Xiu didn't insist anymore.

"By the way, it's almost six o'clock. Do you and aunt want to go downstairs to watch a movie?"

Chi Yuxiu asked, "Are your family members going?"

"My mother, mother-in-law and eldest brother want to go, you and aunt want to go. If you want, you can go with them, and members of our crossbow team will be there to guard."

Two months ago, the open space at the gate of the community began to show projection programs again. Just like during the foggy period, it was broadcast at 6:00 pm every day.

"Okay." Chi Yuxiu nodded happily, "Then let me tell my mother that there have been a lot fewer crows in the sky recently. My mother should be willing to go down.

" It's impossible for us to have the inhabitants run away by crows."

It's been six months since night fell.

For residents of the new community, life is actually not difficult. The security team patrols intensively, the security is fully guaranteed, and there are many jobs. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can always find a job. It is not difficult to no longer dawn, can it be more difficult than the period of dense fog and acid rain? Now there are projection programs to watch, which is another hope of life.

Qiao Qingqing stood outside the crowd, staring vigilantly at the movement of the sky, and occasionally glanced at the projection screen in front. The screen was crowded with people. Everyone cherished the entertainment activities during this time period. In addition, today's broadcast is finally no longer The news feed is a comedy movie with a very lively atmosphere.

Although he could only see a little bit of the screen on the screen, Qiao Qingqing was also very satisfied. She knew that her most important people were in the crowd and the guardians at the other end of the crowd, and they were still with each other in this long night, which was the happiest thing.
