Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Lu Yuan looked at the orange potatoes with brown dirt on the surface and nodded with satisfaction.

After Lu Yuan harvested all the potatoes from an entire acre of land, he gave his own assessment based on the overall situation.

In Experimental Field No. 32, with an average temperature of -3043.4 degrees Celsius, potatoes are growing well and have been harvested. One acre yielded kilograms, a yield that's at the upper limit for ordinary potatoes...

They were particularly satisfied with the amount of water and nutrients, and the minus 32 degrees Celsius temperature did not cause them any discomfort.

When all the potatoes from Experimental Field No. 1 were piled together, 3,000 kilograms, or about three tons, of potatoes formed a small hill on the ground.

Lu Yuan did not eat it directly, but used the characteristics of his own [Fairy Wood Body] to sense the "energy" in the potato, and thus came to an accurate conclusion. Compared with ordinary potatoes, the internal "energy" has indeed been greatly improved, and the increase is about 40%.

After finishing the recording, Lu Yuan went to the No. 2 experimental field.

In Experimental Field No. 39, the average temperature was -2000 degrees Celsius. The amount of water and fertilizer used was the same across all seven experimental fields. The potatoes were fully mature, but on average, they were smaller, with a yield of kilograms per mu.

They are saying that they are cold, and desperately trying to absorb water and nutrients to dispel the cold. However, these nutrients are not enough to eat. They can only grow by relying on these nutrients, but they can no longer grow.

Note: The drop in temperature will make potatoes need more nutrition to make up for the deficiency in the body and maintain energy balance. The second experiment will increase nutrition.

After confirming the No. 2 experimental field, Lu Yuan went to the No. 3 experimental field.

In experimental field No. 44, the average temperature was -724 degrees Celsius, exceeding the potato's maximum tolerance. Growth was complete, and the average size was smaller than in experimental field No. . The yield per mu was kilograms...

They were so cold that they wanted to sleep, but the nutrients and catalytic energy in the soil allowed the potatoes to grow, but this was their limit.

Note: The nutritional content was appropriately increased in the second experiment.

[Test Field No. 50, average temperature - degrees Celsius...

They are completely hibernating and cannot absorb catalytic energy and nutrients normally.

【Note: You can try to wake up in the second experiment】

【Number Five....】

【Number 6....】

【Number 7....】

After the first round of experiments, Lu Yuan had a significant conclusion in his heart. After digging out the potatoes, he loosened the soil and spread some base fertilizer. He planned to grow the soil for a day or two before starting the second round of experiments.

Returning to the No. 1 experimental field where the vehicle was located, Lu Yuan fell silent as he looked at the more than five tons of potatoes piled up into a small hill.

He definitely couldn't eat all these potatoes by himself. Although the leftover potatoes could be used as seeds after they sprouted, they would be second-generation seeds. Experiments using second-generation seeds would have significant deviations, so Lu Yuan would only use seeds exchanged from the system store for his experiments.

Although it can indeed serve as a storage purpose if thrown deep into the ice sheet.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, glanced at the village next to him, and then he came up with a solution.

..........

"Xiaota, how about I go to a village farther away and see if I can get some food?"

Inside the village, Alina asked.

"Recently, Mr. Patriot and his team have been deliberately reducing their daily diet to make more food..."

"No, Alina, it's too far to be safe!"

Tallulah shook her head. "The infected patrols have been getting more active these days, and it's too dangerous to go out alone... As for food, I'll figure it out."

Just when they were at a loss as to what to eat.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the cabin where Tallulah was. Tallulah walked over and opened the door. A snow-white 'little rabbit' was standing at the door.

"Froststar?"

Shuangxing said, "Xiaota, my father is going out hunting soon. He told me that we don't need to share the food with them anymore..."

“How can that be possible!!”

Tallulah immediately refused.

However, after the rejection, Tallulah felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

How ironic that as a leader, she needs Patriot and his troops to go hunting to save food.

what to do...

At this moment, a clear human voice suddenly came towards this side through the loudspeaker.

"Selling potatoes, selling big potatoes, three yuan a pound..."

Volume 1: Chapter 86 How about... we learn farming from that agricultural scholar?

The hawking voice was exceptionally clear, ringing in the ears of Talulah, Froststar, Alina, and even all the infected people in the entire village.

The expression on Tallulah's face was obviously stunned for a moment. She and Froststar quickly turned their heads and looked outside the village.

Selling?!

What the hell? ! !

Why would someone be selling potatoes in this godforsaken place?!

She has been living here for a long time while leading the Integration Movement. What she likes about this area is that it is sparsely populated and barely habitable.

In fact, the nearby villages are generally not on the map, and it is precisely because of this that they are more suitable for them to hide.

I wonder which merchant would sell things here unless he is extremely bored.

"Alina, put all your compatriots on alert. Just in case, be ready to escape to another temporary base deep in the tundra if necessary."

Tallulah and Alina said seriously.

Alina nodded solemnly.

After escaping from the core of Ursus, Talulah has been wandering in the snowfields on the edge of Ursus, and has established an organization dedicated to welcoming the infected, and is committed to giving the infected a better life and allowing them to escape from Ursus's hunting.

After such a long time.

They have faced countless Ursus pursuits and have long been like insecure antelopes in the snow. Even the slightest disturbance is enough to make them nervous.

In such an environment, the only hope of survival is to be alert enough.

"Okay, be careful, Xiaota."

Alina immediately went out to inform other infected people.

"Frost Star, go tell Senior Patriot."

"No need for such a big show. Father must have known about it before us. He must be hiding around the village with his shield guards."

"Um!!"

After everything was prepared, Talulah, Froststar and several ordinary villagers dressed up as infected operators and sat by the campfire in the center of the village, chatting and laughing while warming themselves by the fire.

A village that is too deserted is suspicious, and one that is too lively is also suspicious. Only when people are strolling around in groups of three or four does it seem less suspicious.

These are the conclusions Tallulah came to after observing the living habits of people in ordinary villages around her.

Since villages are not like mobile city-states, they lack entertainment facilities, have no internet, and naturally no mobile phones. Strictly speaking, life in the villages is really not much different from hundreds of years ago.

Ordinary villages may have some thin fields, but here there is not even a little field. There is a lack of entertainment facilities and jobs. Young and middle-aged people basically choose to work in nearby towns, leaving only a few people living in the village.

During the day they would either go out hunting or sit in groups of three or four by the campfire in the center of the village to keep warm and chat about the few remaining days.

It depends on this.

The Integration Movement had to deceive countless waves of infected patrols to be able to live in peace here for a rare period of time.

Although we were pretending to chat.

But Talulah and Froststar were extremely focused. The Patriot Squad and Froststar's Snow Monster Squad around the village also held their breath. Once they found anything abnormal, they would immediately counterattack and evacuate instantly.

"Selling potatoes, selling big potatoes..."

The melodious sound gradually approached, and one could even faintly hear the roar of the vehicle engine and the crunching sound of tires crushing the snow.

The vehicle was quite large.

It took about ten minutes from the time I heard the sound until it got closer.

Subsequently.

Under the gaze of many eyes, a huge modified off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the village. This new modified off-road vehicle was completely different in style from the dilapidated and backward village, as if it were the product of two different worlds.

On top of the off-road vehicle was a strange large square barrel made of wood, which was filled with a pile of potatoes.

These potatoes are completely different from the potatoes of different sizes on the market. Each one is big and plump, with a comfortable golden color. Even if you just look at them with the naked eye, you can easily tell how high the quality of the potatoes here is.

Afterwards, everyone only saw the driver's side door open.

A handsome young man, estimated to be in his twenties, with a faint smile on his face, got out of the car and walked towards the village where Tallulah was.

He knocked on the wooden doorframe at the village entrance as if knocking on a door, and then shouted to Tallulah.

"Selling potatoes. Anyone want to buy potatoes? Three yuan a pound."

.........

This was a good idea that Lu Yuan came up with.

Go back to your old job.

Since there are so many extra potatoes, it would be better to sell them directly to the residents of the surrounding villages. After all, potatoes can be stored for a long time in a normally ventilated and dry environment. Moreover, potatoes themselves are very filling and are very suitable as the staple food for the residents of these remote villages.

As for transportation.

Lu Yuan simply used the "Manipulation of Wood" to make a wooden barrel, installed it on the off-road vehicle, put the potatoes in the barrel, and then drove to the nearby villages to sell them.

Although this way of hawking is quite outrageous.

But many villagers still chose to buy them. After all, potatoes at three yuan per pound were so delicious. Moreover, Lu Yuan's potatoes looked really good. In order to ensure their safety and non-toxicity, Lu Yuan even stewed one for everyone on the spot.

One round down.

Nearly a thousand kilograms of potatoes have been sold. The most important point is that residents dare not buy too much at one time, for fear that Lu Yuan is cheating them.

Lu Yuan’s last stop was this most remote village.

Naturally, Tallulah did not drive Lu Yuan away immediately. Driving him away directly would be too strange and would easily arouse confusion. She slowly stood up, dressed in simple clothes, not much different from ordinary villagers.

"Why are your potatoes so cheap? We've bought them in nearby towns before, and the cheapest potatoes there are over thirty yuan per pound."

Tallulah imitates the speech patterns of ordinary Ursus residents.

There is doubt in front of me.

Lu Yuan smiled.

"I'm not a farmer, I'm an agricultural scholar. I came here to take advantage of the cold environment to conduct agricultural research. These potatoes are all grown by me, but there are too many for me to eat all by myself, so I thought of selling them cheaply to residents of nearby villages and giving them away in lunch boxes for free. Anyway, I don't make money from this."

What Lu Yuan said was well-reasoned and convincing.

Besides, what he said was true.

Tallulah couldn't find any loopholes in it.

Moreover, just looking at the opponent's huge off-road vehicle, even Tallulah, who didn't know much about cars, knew that this off-road vehicle was 100% valuable, perhaps worth tens of millions.

It is impossible for Ursus to provide such expensive vehicles to its subordinates.

Moreover.

Judging from his appearance, the handsome young man in front of him was fair and clean, and had a very handsome look. He was completely incomparable to the rough members of the infected patrol team.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is not from Ursus. He may be from Longmen or Colombia.

So, even if there are so many doubts and nitpicks.

The other party's explanation is at least 90 or even 95 percent true.

"Can I take a look? If the quality is good, I can buy some."

As she said this, Tallulah's heart began to pound.

food! !

You were worrying about food for so many people one moment, and the next moment someone was selling potatoes. An agricultural scholar came to do research and happened to have extra potatoes ready to sell. The probability of this happening is even lower than winning the lottery.

Tallulah and Frost Star walked to Lu Yuan's car together.

Both of them were quite alert.

Lu Yuan took out a few golden potatoes from the barrel and rubbed them in his hands. They were big and plump. Just looking at them from the outside, there was no flaw at all. They looked much better than those potatoes sold in the town.
