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

Of course, now it’s not only the body that feels warm, but also the heart.

In several stew pots set up around the campfire.

Each pot was filled with potato soup.

The golden potatoes were cut into small pieces and placed in the pot. Even without any seasoning, the original slightly sweet aroma of the potatoes had already filled the central open space of the entire village.

Alina and several compatriots who are good at cooking are stewing the potatoes carefully. They are so precious that they must not burn or spoil them if they fail to control the heat well, which would be a huge sin.

at last.

When the potatoes in the stew pot were completely cooked and could be poke with a spoon, Alina smiled and shouted.

"Dinner is ready~ Everyone line up~"

There were about 200 people in the whole village, and there was no panic at all. Even though many people were hungry and their stomachs were rumbling, and their mouths were full of saliva from the delicious food, they still suppressed their inner desires and lined up in an orderly manner.

under night.

Everyone's bowl was filled with soft potatoes and thick potato soup.

When these infected people, who had not eaten hot food properly for many years, squatted on the ground, blew on the steaming potato soup, and carefully put a piece of potato into their mouths.

Suddenly.

A feeling of happiness suddenly spread in my mouth and heart.

'tasty!!!'

It's soft and sticky, with a slight sweetness inside.

It's hard to imagine that this actually tastes like potatoes.

Even though their mouths were twitching from the heat, these compatriots still endured the heat and ate in no time. If it wasn't so hot, they would have finished the whole bowl of potato soup in one go.

"The potatoes sold by this handsome boy are so delicious!!"

Many infected people know that this potato was sold by Lu Yuan.

"As expected of an agricultural scholar, the potatoes he grows are much more delicious than any I've ever tasted before."

Some people smacked their lips as they spoke.

Among the crowd, a cute boy with short silver-white hair was sitting on the steps of a wooden house with another black-haired boy.

"Eat slowly, Ino."

The black-haired boy patted the boy named Ino.

Ino turned his head and looked at the black-haired boy, then immediately said: "Sasha, you should try it too, it's really delicious!!"

"I'll give you mine~"

"No! And this potato seems to be very filling. I'm already full after eating half of it. I can't eat any more. I was thinking of leaving some for you."

Sasha also tried a small bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up as well.

And behind the village.

Patriot, wearing a battle-scarred old-style power armor, was sitting in a simple conference room with Froststar and Talulah. The three of them were also holding a bowl of stewed potatoes. The portion was exactly the same as that of their compatriots outside, except that the bowl prepared for Patriot was slightly larger.

After all, Mr. Patriot contributes the most in normal times, and it is Mr. Patriot who solves many of the most critical moments of the integration movement.

In addition, he is also big in stature, so his appetite must be much larger than that of ordinary people.

"This potato...is not ordinary..."

After taking a bite, the Patriot's sharp eyes under the sheep skull suddenly narrowed, and he spoke.

"Do you feel full, Patriot Senior?"

Tallulah asked.

"Um..."

The Patriot nodded.

He had fought for Ursus for hundreds of years and had eaten more potatoes than an average person would eat in their entire life. Therefore, he naturally knew very well how filling a potato could be.

Therefore, the patriot could easily detect it after just one bite.

In fact, not only the Patriot, but also Tallulah and Frost Star had already noticed it.

"According to the intelligence from the scouts, these potatoes were planted by that young agricultural scholar in this land, but..."

Even patriots have never heard of it.

He had never heard of any crops being grown in a place where the average temperature was minus thirty degrees Celsius.

However, this cannot be false. After all, the fields are there, and they cannot imagine any other channels except for planting.

After all, they have nothing to do, so why would they bring thousands of kilograms of potatoes here just to sell them to them?

Can the money from selling it cover one-tenth of the energy cost for driving?

"Could it be that potatoes that can grow in minus thirty degrees Celsius have been cultivated out there?"

Froststar asked doubtfully.

She grew up in a mine. After awakening her Originium skills and being rescued by a Patriot, she accompanied the Patriot and traveled across the northern tundra.

Not to mention the outside world.

Frost Star had never even been to a proper town. If Patriot had not often told her about the outside world and that there were many countries besides Ursus, Frost Star might have really thought that Ursus was the whole world.

“It’s possible…”

The Patriot nodded.

"The speed of development in the outside world... is very fast..."

"That... young... agricultural scholar... might be here to help... with low-temperature experiments."

Although Lu Yuan had said this before, it has now been completely confirmed.

“We can plant it too!!”

Frost Star suddenly remembered something.

"If these potatoes sprout, then they are seeds and can be planted, right?"

Froststar's words made Tallulah's eyes light up, but they soon dimmed again.

"None of us knows how to farm. Besides, even if I don't know how to farm, I know that farming is definitely not just about burying seeds in the soil. It also requires various fertilizers. Moreover, in this icy and snowy environment, perhaps other methods are needed..."

suddenly.

Alina pushed the door open and put forward her ideas with a smile.

"Why don't we take the initiative to consult that young agricultural scholar? We've already confirmed he's not from Ursus. If we're careful in communicating, there shouldn't be any problems. He might not be able to teach us, but we can only find out by asking."

Alina's words silenced the three people present.

to be frank.

If not necessary.

They really don't want to have any dealings with outsiders, this is safer.

"If they really teach us, we might have plenty of potatoes in the future."

Alina added.

Frost Star's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she expressed her opinion.

"How about... go ask?"

The Patriots fell silent and did not vote, and the only choice fell into Tallulah's hands.

On one side is possible safety, on the other is possible potato freedom.

After hesitating for two or three minutes, Tallulah nodded heavily.

"How about...we go to a consultation tomorrow?"

Froststar gave Tallulah a thumbs-up.

ps: I wish you all a happy Children's Day~ hehe~

Volume 1: Chapter 87 Tallulah? Do you know Shi Huaiya and Chen Huijie? & Yes! Teacher Lu!

Lu Yuan was unaware of the jubilation in the village where the Integration Movement was located last night.

He currently focuses all his energy on cultivating better quality and more cold-resistant potatoes.

After cultivating potatoes, Lu Yuan will start cultivating cold-resistant crops such as wheat.

So, the task is still quite tight.

Early the next morning.

The darkness that enveloped the world all night was dispelled by the light of dawn

As the night fell and the sun rose, Lu Yuan picked up his hoe and continued walking towards the fields.

Any experiment can't be determined by just one experiment.

Multiple samples are required to serve as results and then be compared.

This time, Lu Yuan planned to appropriately increase the fertilizer and water injection in the No. 2 and No. 3 experimental fields. Lu Yuan wanted to see whether sufficient nutrients under the ice and snow would have a greater impact on the crops.

and.

In an environment of minus fifty degrees Celsius or lower, Lu Yuan first tried to "wake up" the potatoes and let "them" wake up from "hibernation". He first experimented to see if they could survive at lower temperatures if they were awakened from "hibernation" and given a large amount of nutrients and fertilizers.

The cultivation of crops does not necessarily require the conditions of the crops themselves to be met. External intervention will naturally play a big role. The most typical example is the constant temperature greenhouse. Even ordinary greenhouses can be completely intervened from the outside.

Therefore, Lu Yuan first planned to try external intervention methods, and then consider fundamentally cultivating more cold-resistant crops.

After strolling around experimental field No. 1, Lu Yuan ran to experimental field No. 2, and then to experimental field No. 3 and No. 4.

Without the use of machinery, with Lu Yuan's current strong physical fitness, it would take most of the day to plant seven acres.

After all, human dexterity is ultimately not as efficient as machines, and this has little to do with physical fitness.

After all, machines can multi-thread and operate on an assembly line, but humans only have two hands and two feet. Even if they have unlimited physical strength, they will definitely not be as efficient as machines when doing work.

As the sky gradually darkened.

The cold wind from the northern ice field kept howling, and Lu Yuan returned to Field No. 1.

After a simple tidy up, Lu Yuan returned to his large off-road RV to cook dinner.

Tonight we cooked braised pork and shredded pork with green peppers, two simple home-cooked dishes. Afterwards, Lu Yuan also cooked some rice as the staple food.

Just when Lu Yuan was almost done cooking.

suddenly

There was a knocking sound coming from the door of the RV, very light and regular, and then a light and gentle voice came from outside the car.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Lu Yuan stood up and opened the car door in confusion. A cold wind rushed in from outside, and standing at the door were three girls.

"you?"

Lu Yuan naturally remembered them.

When I was selling potatoes yesterday, it was the gray-haired girl in the middle who was communicating with me.

"It's too cold outside. If you have anything to say, come in and talk. It's warm inside the car."

Facing Lu Yuan’s invitation.

Alina, who was beside Tallulah, nodded slightly towards Lu Yuan and said politely, "Hello, sorry to bother you..."

Then Tallulah, Alina and Frost Star got into Lu Yuan's car together.

Even though it's just a car.

But the environment inside the car is still quite spacious.

Even if three people came in together, it didn't feel crowded.

Lu Yuan invited the three of them to sit down on the small sofa first, then he took out three disposable cups from the cabinet above, poured boiling water into each of them, and handed them to the three of them.
