Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 197 Divide the land
Youyou obviously has the opportunity to eat French fries frequently, but this time it was like he had never eaten them before. He and Zhao Xiaoxiu swallowed their saliva together, looking forward to the arrival of this delicious dish.

Needless to say, although Sister Monkey had never eaten French fries, she almost drooled after listening to Youyou's description.

The three of them stood at the door, looking eagerly, and finally the adults came back dragging the harvested evolved potatoes.

After all, it was just a potato field of more than 100 square meters, and five adults could finish it in less than half an hour.

Last year, I planted eighty sprouts, and they produced eighty potatoes, and not a single one was useless.

Each potato weighs about 1650 kilograms, and is of similar size, but some are rounder. The total yield is kilograms.

Excluding the three that were cut off by Zhao Xiaoxiu, there are still 1600 kilograms.

Because he had never been involved in agricultural planting before, Zhao Gang was not sure about the specific market price. But this did not affect its value as food.

After all the evolved potatoes were transported back home, Zhao Gang specially cleared out a space in the storage room and poured the potatoes directly on the ground and stored them in a cool place.

When he finished his work and turned around, he saw Zhao Xiaoxiu, Youyou, and Hou Jie, three pairs of eyes staring at him at the door.

"French fries!" Zhao Xiaoxiu and Youyou said in unison.

There was no reason for Zhao Gang to refuse such a simple request, but not immediately. He had something else to do. He patted the two children's heads and motioned them to wait a moment.

"Do it in the evening." Zhao Gang gave the exact time.

The two little guys immediately looked up at the sky. The sun was already setting, so it should be very soon.

"Dad, let's go fishing." said Zhao Xiaoxiu.

Zhao Gang nodded, "We can also grill fish tonight. I have already made the chili peppers Hao Ran sent into chili powder."

Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed in surprise, "I like spicy food!"

Youyou also shouted: "I like spicy food too."

The two kids and one monkey couldn't wait to pick up the empty bucket and ran to the pond, looking forward to the dinner tonight.

Zhao Gang watched them leave, then he called together the mother and son of the Meng family to carry out the final distribution of the fruits of their labor.

There is an old saying among humans: If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Since the mother and her two children of the Meng family are now hired farmers under him and are actively participating in labor production, he should also give them a salary.

Zhao Gang selected five evolved potatoes, weighing a total of 100 kilograms, put them in a basket and handed them to Grandma Meng.

"Gangzi's?" Grandma Meng was very surprised. Meng Da and Meng Er didn't expect that they would have another copy.

After all, they were not there when the evolved potatoes were planted, and at most they just contributed a little bit by helping to harvest the potatoes today.

As for pulling out the mutant weeds on a daily basis, that didn't count as work. If you really counted, Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister pulled out more than them.

As soon as Zhao Gang saw the expressions of the mother and her two children, he knew that they had misunderstood what he meant.

He led the three people out of the yard and pointed to the roughly cleared space at the bottom of the southern hillside.

This was the wasteland that Granny Meng had roughly cleared when she and Zhao Xiaoxiu discussed setting up their own mutant fruit and vegetable plantation and ranch. It was less than two acres in total.

Now Zhao Gang directly allocated 20 acres of land, including the two acres, and said to the three people from the Meng family:
"From now on, you will keep this land for yourselves. I will give you seeds of various crops this year. Starting next year, you will be self-sufficient. The rent for the land, rent for the house, and seeds can be offset by your labor."

The three members of the Meng family were overjoyed and flattered.

Granny Meng was the first to react and said hurriedly, "Gangzi, you're at a huge disadvantage. We haven't even considered the matter of the evolution potion yet."

The gains were so much more than the efforts, which made people panic. Zhao Gang understood the thoughts of the three Meng family members. He did not think that they had made little efforts. He just regarded them as guards to help look after the cubs.

"That's it." Zhao Gang made the final decision. He still had to go fry French fries for the cub and her friends and didn't want to waste too much energy on unimportant things.

Before going back, Zhao Gang told the Meng brothers to preserve the evolved potato seeds first, and when he sowed them for the second time, the two brothers would learn together.

Planting Evolved Potatoes may seem simple, but it is not. There are few seeds now, so you have to be more careful with each seed.

The two brothers agreed seriously that they would study hard. How could this be a potato? This is clearly a bright future!
Thinking of what Zhao Xiaoxiu had just said about having grilled fish and French fries in the evening, the mother and her two children looked at each other and they also felt greedy.

But these five potatoes in my hand are for seeds.

"Hey! Brother Gangzi, let us help you!" Meng Er pulled his brother and hurriedly caught up with Zhao Gang.

The two followed him into the hall, and Zhao Gang didn't say anything.

But just when the two brothers thought that he had tacitly agreed to their participation, Zhao Gang suddenly asked them to stand still and not move. He turned a corner, entered the storage room, took out a small cloth bag, and handed it to the two brothers.

Zhao Gang pointed to the cultivated vegetable field outside with his slender and powerful fingers and said expressionlessly:

"After you plant the mutant pumpkin seeds, I can leave some for you tonight's food."

"This..." Meng Er frowned. He didn't mean to refuse. "Brother, I really can't do that."

Zhao Gang: "Dig a hole, plant a seed, pour half a bucket of water, cover with soil, and make sure the depth is between ten and fifteen centimeters. Then go ahead."

Afraid that the two of them might not be able to figure it out, Zhao Gang considerately took out a ruler from the tool shed and put it in Meng Da's hand.

The two brothers' eyes rolled left and right, and there was only one word to describe them: confused.

But for the sake of dinner in the evening, I have to go no matter how confused I am.

After sending the two brothers away, Zhao Gang skillfully put on an apron and rolled up his sleeves, lit a fire, heated the pot, and started preparing dinner for his cubs.

Soon, a fragrant smell of oil wafted out from the kitchen. The potato strips hadn't even been put into the pot yet, but everyone in the territory couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"Boss"

Zhao Gang looked up suspiciously and saw Green Hair standing outside the kitchen window. Seeing him looking over, he asked with a wry smile, "Do you need help?"

"What can you do?" Zhao Gang asked doubtfully.

The little kid answered in his heart: I can eat it!
He said in a flattering manner: "Chopping wood, carrying water, repairing cars, changing light bulbs, and driving."

Before he could finish, Zhao Gang interrupted: "No need, get out."

Xiwa choked hard, but ran to the gate again, waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiu and Youyou to catch the fish. He rushed forward and grabbed the bucket, saying as he ran:

"Let me do it, let me do it. How can you let me do this dirty and tiring job? Just let me do it. I'm very good at killing fish!"

Youyou asked doubtfully, "Xiaoxiu, who is he?"

Sister Monkey beat her chest and roared twice: It’s the thief that the bad guys want to catch!
Youyou scratched his head, not understanding, and just stared at Zhao Xiaoxiu, waiting for her answer.

"He's just a homeless guy with nowhere to go. He knows how to get some things, so we let him stay for the time being," Zhao Xiaoxiu explained.

Youyou let out an "oh" and was very interested in the big fat fish that was caught, so he chased after it.

Xiwa was not exaggerating, he was indeed good at killing fish. Besides, they were all low-level mutated black-backed fish, so Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't have to worry that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
