Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 65 Mutated Rapeseed Flowers

Zhao Gang asked: "When are you going?"

"The exact time is still unclear, but it should be after the planting training and before winter officially arrives."

Mo Shigui's words were ambiguous. He did not mention the hiring time or the content of the task. He only said that he would notify Zhao Gang in advance when the time came.

The reason for inviting him so early is that I wanted to inform Zhao Gang first so that he could make schedule arrangements in advance.

Mo Shigui said: "The points for this mission will definitely satisfy you."

Zhao Gang remained noncommittal. He secretly guessed that after the base had settled the survivors, they would take the next big step.

The planting training will continue in the afternoon. Zhao Gang plans to go to the material station to collect the relief nutrient solution after the training is over today.

In the morning, experts explained to the lords the differences between evolved crops and lower mutated crops.

A lot of concepts were discussed and a historical process of crop evolution and mutation was played.

To sum it up in one sentence - evolved crops will not hurt people and can survive if planted randomly, while mutated crops are very likely to hurt people and need careful care.

Therefore, in the afternoon training class, special attention was paid to the precautions for planting mutant crops.

Based on the mutant vegetable seeds currently received by the lords, combined with the current season.

Experts specially took out the mutant rapeseed that can be planted now, and made a detailed response plan for sudden mutations in planting.

Experts said: "The best time to sow mutant rapeseed is from the end of September to around November, and it matures in May of the following year. During this period, the seedling growth period is a safe period, and the flowering period to the end of the flowering period is a dangerous period."

"At this time, farmers need to take care of the emotions of the mutant rapeseed. They can play music for them, or make their own windmills that can produce rhythmic sounds to soothe the rapeseed flowers and keep them calm."

Hao Ran raised his hand and asked, "What if I don't appease you?"

The expert said seriously, "Student, your idea is terrible! When the rape flowers bloom, they become frenzied and have a strong desire for flesh and blood. If they are not appeased in time, they will rush to the nearest flesh and blood in groups, whipping and eating them until the flowering period ends."

"So, planting rapeseed in large quantities is an absolutely dangerous task. Please be careful!"

After hearing the expert's words, the lords in the classroom fell silent for a moment.

Just now I thought it was not bad to be a lord in Area B. As long as I work hard, I can have enough to eat, and maybe even become rich and well-off.

Who would have thought that growing rapeseed could be fatal?
The expert noticed that the students were in a bad mood and it was almost time, so he ended the get out of class early.

Before the get out of class ended, everyone was assigned a task - bring hoes and rapeseed tomorrow to receive one-on-one guidance on planting from experts.

The lords were a little panicked, but then they thought that the rape flowers would bloom next spring, and there was still enough time for them to prepare soothing music and make the sound-making windmill.

At the moment, I am only left with curiosity, and I am a little looking forward to tomorrow's field planting.

The course was over, and the lords who were far away were sent back by patrol cars.

Zhao Gang first went to collect the relief nutrient solution for his daughter, and then rode his bicycle back home.

Before I even entered the house, I knew the cub was not in the house.

Zhao Gang first put the things in the living room, then turned around and went out to look for his baby by the pond.

Today Zhao Xiaoxiu stayed at home all day and also trained Peter Pan by the pond all day.

Hearing familiar footsteps coming from behind, Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was squatting by the pond, turned around in surprise: "Dad!"

Then he couldn't wait to show him the results of his training with Peter Pan today.

A heart-shaped bubble water mist firework.

Zhao Gang thought that only children would like this kind of thing.

But they still clapped their hands and started praising. "It's so beautiful, so amazing, Peter Pan is so smart, Xiaoxiu is so thoughtful."

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled and raised his hand to draw a circle on the water. The Peter Pan in the water responded immediately and swam around in the water, hitting wherever he was pointed at. He was very obedient.

The man and the fish played for a while, then Zhao Xiaoxiu waved goodbye and went home with his father.

"Dad, how was your training today?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked with concern.

Zhao Gang nodded. "Not bad. I've learned how to grow rapeseed. I'll start planting tomorrow. I'll get one-on-one guidance from an expert."

"Are we starting planting now?" Zhao Xiaoxiu was a little surprised.

Zhao Gang: "Well, the expert teacher said that now is a good time to plant rapeseed."

The father and daughter pushed open the door together. Zhao Gang repeated today's lessons to his studious child, and walked into the tool room to prepare the seeds and hoes that he would need to bring tomorrow.

Zhao Xiaoxiu followed behind her father and listened attentively, taking note of everything.

If she knew how to write, she would have wanted to take a pen and a notebook to write it down.

But this new brain is very useful. She remembered all the planting techniques Zhao Gang talked about after just listening to them once.

After preparing the seeds and hoes for tomorrow's training, Zhao Gang took down the water tank on the backyard wall. Zhao Xiaoxiu carried a stainless steel bucket on her head, and the father and daughter went to the river to fetch water.

By the way, the father and daughter have not used the water purification filter cartridges distributed by the base yet.

A set of filter elements can purify half a ton of water, or 500 liters.

If it is just for daily drinking, not counting bathing and washing hair, a person can use it for more than half a year.

But for the father and daughter, the river water can be used directly for bathing, washing hair and drinking, so the filter is unnecessary.

"Keep it for now and use it when someone comes," said Zhao Gang.

Zhao Xiaoxiu agreed, saying that they couldn't let people be poisoned by the water here.

After the father and daughter finished fetching water, it was already dark and the temperature had dropped by seven or eight degrees compared to the daytime.

There was no entertainment at night and the lords went to bed early.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the only places with lights left were the patrol station and Territory No. 13.

Zhao Gang boiled some water, and Zhao Xiaoxiu took a comfortable hot bath, ate two pears and a bottle of nutrient solution, and then the father and daughter went upstairs carrying a pile of cloth and cotton.

Zhao Xiaoxiu wrapped Abebei, who had been cleaned by the tentacles, and huddled in the corner of the sofa.

At first glance, he looked like a real beggar, with his yellow hair, bare feet, and tattered sheets.

In front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, there were four tentacles.

Two of them held storybooks, and the other two performed a situational drama in sync with Zhao Gang's reading.

Zhao Gang was reading folk horror stories to teach the cub to read, but his eyes were on the cloth in front of him. With needle and thread in his hands, he was making new socks and a new jacket for Zhao Xiaoxiu.

The temperature tonight has reached around ten degrees, so wearing thin long sleeves is definitely not an option.

There are also four-piece bedding sets and quilts for winter, which are all in Zhao Gang's plan.

He had already cut the fabrics, and all that was left was to combine them with the cotton.

If the room wasn't too small, he would have wanted to release all his tentacles so that everyone could do handicrafts together.

However, too many tentacles will affect children's learning, so let's forget it.
