Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 271 Buying Seeds

The two rooms are connected by a simple wooden staircase.

Climb up the stairs and you will reach the small balcony at the door of the tree house on the second floor.

From a distance, the two-story building and the charred wood blend into one, appearing to be completely natural.

There is an even more ingenious place in the house – the small wooden door next to the kitchen on the first floor.

The small wooden door is 1.5 meters high and has a round wooden ring on it, the height of which Zhao Xiaoxiu can easily reach.

The small wooden door was so small that Zhao Gang and Sister Monkey had to lower their heads and bend over to pass through. Only someone of Zhao Xiaoxiu's size could hop around in the low passage.

This door leads directly to the cave at the bottom of the tree. The original gap was blocked by Zhao Xiaoxiu with sticky mud, and the wooden door next to the kitchen became the only passage.

There is ample storage space in the tree hole, and a simple wooden rack made by Zhao Gang is placed against the wall, which can be used to store tools when the time comes.

The temperature inside is higher than outside, so it can be used as a greenhouse.

It was a pity that all the seeds were not brought out. Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiu's high spirits also dropped.

Zhao Gang saw his daughter's little thoughts, and gently rubbed her little head with his big palm, saying in a gentle voice:

"The sun is out. Let's go to the city to do some shopping today. The soil here is fertile. We can buy more seeds and plant the entire valley."

"Plant the whole valley?" Zhao Xiaoxiu was surprised, looked up, and her round eyes widened.

Zhao Gang nodded, "Yes, plant the whole valley, it will be bigger than Territory No. 13."

Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you serious?"

Excluding the area of ​​Jiaomu that was surrounded by the Green Fairy, the vacant land that was cleared by Dad before was four or five times larger than Territory No. 13.

There were only two of them, a fish, and a monkey. How long would it take them to plant crops in the entire valley?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiu no longer felt lost or sad, and quickly dragged her father out of the storage room, "Let's go into the city to buy things!"

Zhao Gang looked at the cub who was so happy to go to the city with eyes full of doting. He knew that the cub liked farming.

Look, as soon as I heard that I was going to the city to buy seeds, I was so happy that I wanted to fly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was busy packing her backpack, had no idea what her father was thinking, otherwise she would have cried to death. She didn't like farming at all.

However, it would be a waste not to make use of such a large piece of fertile land right next to my home.

Zhao Xiaoxiu silently took notes in her mind, deciding to buy all the vegetable seeds available at the supply station and plant vegetables in the several hundred square meters of land in front of her home, so that she could eat whatever she wanted in the future.

It was a nice idea, but the reality was a heavy blow to the father and daughter.

At the Jiangcheng Suburban Material Station, the staff member in charge of the exchange looked at the father and daughter in front of the counter like they were idiots, and said in a calm tone:

"All seeds can only be collected by the lord of the planting area. They cannot be sold privately to the outside world. Therefore, there are no seeds in the supply station. Do you need anything else?"

This guy is quite polite. Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father looked at each other and decided to buy something else first.

Zhao Gang: "One box each of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, two sets of toiletries, and then... let's leave it at that for now."

For other things, go to the free trade market; they are cheaper than here at the supply station.

Zhao Xiaoxiu secretly gave her father a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you know how to save money by comparing prices!"
Zhao Gang straightened his chest. The Tata people have a very high IQ.

The clerk placed the things Zhao Gang wanted on the hoverboard held by Zhao Xiaoxiu, and deliberately glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiu. He felt that she looked familiar for some reason, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her for a moment.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled at her politely, holding her father's hand in one hand and the hoverboard in the other, the father and daughter left the supply station and walked to the free trade market. There were no missing person notices for Zhao Xiaoxiu on the road, and the streets were filled with advertisements for the registration process for the first batch of voluntary virus vaccines.

Zhao Xiaoxiu noticed that people had more smiles on their faces than before, and it seemed that they had rekindled hope for the future.

A young couple passed by the father and daughter on the street. The woman was surprised and said while holding a test sheet, "I'm really pregnant. I didn't expect the vaccine to be so effective. I've been preparing for five years but nothing happened."

The man next to him said with surprise: "I never thought that the vaccine was real. We are the first batch and can receive subsidy points. Now I have successfully conceived a child and the government has also provided a childcare subsidy. We are so lucky."

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked back at them as they walked away with joy on their faces, and couldn't help but laugh too.

She still hopes that human beings will get better and better, and that everyone can completely get rid of the torture of the virus.

The sun was shining brightly overhead, and the weather broadcast on the street said that this would be the warmest day at the end of the fourteenth year of the disaster.

After today, we will officially enter November and the temperature will drop sharply to below ten degrees.

"It's time to plant evolved potatoes and rapeseed." Zhao Gang said suddenly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu sighed, "Oh~" and really wanted to eat evolved tomatoes and pumpkins.

"The free market has seeds." Zhao Gang said firmly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she strode to follow her father's footsteps. The father and daughter walked left and right in the most remote black market in the free market for a full half hour, and stopped in front of a simple stall.

The father-daughter duo attracted attention. The boss, who was sitting on the charcoal firebox reading a novel, lazily put down the half-finished book and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"

His stall only had a few miscellaneous books, all about the deepest human emotions, but no children's books.

Unless you are an acquaintance, you will know that he has other good things here.

Zhao Gang got straight to the point and said, "I want seeds."

The boss closed the book, stood up and said, "We don't have anything that is officially prohibited from being sold privately."

Having said that, his probing gaze remained on Zhao Gang.

A young man who was a little too handsome. If he was a regular customer in the market, he would have seen him. Unfortunately, he had no impression of this handsome guy at all.

"From out of town?" the boss asked tentatively.

Zhao Gang did not deny it. He picked up the pen on the stall, opened a page of the book at random, and wrote down the seeds he needed in the blank space.

Evolved tomatoes, evolved pumpkins, evolved cabbages, mutated peppers, onions, ginger, as well as evolved lemons and persimmons.

Not one more, not one less, it’s exactly what the boss has.

Well, let’s not beat around the bush. The boss tore off the page of paper and waved to let the father and daughter in.

"Just put your things by the door. Don't worry, no one dares to steal your things." He grinned at Zhao Xiaoxiu, revealing a mouthful of uneven black and yellow teeth, which made Zhao Xiaoxiu frown.

"Dad, I'm waiting for you at the door." The little guy held the hoverboard and stood obediently next to the stall.

When the boss saw that Zhao Gang really agreed to let such a cute girl wait outside, he said "Hey". Is he brave and skilled, or is he really stupid?
But he was too lazy to care. It was not his fault that the child was lost. He took Zhao Gang to an alley and handed over the goods and points with one hand.

When he came out after finishing the job, he found that the little girl and the things in her hands were still there, and he sneered, "What good luck."

Little did they know that the thorny branches that emerged from the little girl's backpack had already scared away three waves of people with bad intentions.

Zhao Xiaoxiu patted the flower pot in her small backpack with her backhand and said, Green Fairy, well done!
