Chapter 207 Evolution of Iron Soybeans
After Xia Qing visited the territory and returned home, he smelled the scent of stewed pig''s trotters. She couldn''t wait to change her protective suit and wash her hands. She put the sick wolf''s internal organs and the sheep''s essence on the table, then took the casserole to her table and opened the lid.
The soup is milky white and has a little light taste. Pour some vinegar in and add a green light green onion, which is perfect.
Xia Qing stirred with a spoon for a few times, took out the soybeans from the soup, and fell silent.
Even if she hasn''t eaten soybeans and soy milk for ten years, she still has basic common sense. Even if the soybeans are cooked, they should grow a little longer even if they don’t burst like mung beans. Why are the soybeans still the same as when they were just put in?
Xia Qing picked up a tablet and put it in his mouth, and took a bite carefully. Then I found...
Can''t bite!
This is the soybeans she harvested after working for half a year, but she couldn''t bite them.
Xia Qing drank the chewy pig''s trotters and soup clean, and then looked at the soybeans placed on the napkin and fell into deep thought.
Is this the hardness evolution of soybeans, or is it another species that looks very much like soybeans?
She had previously followed the team to perform collection tasks and had also encountered soybeans. After harvesting, they ate the popcorn with the picnic pot. Although the appearance was not good, the taste was quite good.
After ten years of natural disasters, Xia Qing was unwilling to waste a grain of food. She washed the soybeans that had been cooked for more than an hour, then put them in a hot pot and heat them slowly, intending to make them into popcorn and eat them.
As a result, the pot was so hot that it started to smoke, and the soybeans remained unchanged. Xia Qing could only shovel out the hot soybeans and put them aside.
If it is so hard, it is impossible to squeeze out the juice and test it. Xia Qing no longer competes with Douzi and goes to work on the fields first.
While she was weeding in the terraced fields of the high slope, Hu Zifeng was carrying a basket to get today''s spinach juice and green light vegetables. Although Xia Qing told Yang Jin that Luo Pei would pick whatever he wanted, Luo Pei did not make any request, so it turned out that Xia Qing would pick whatever he wanted.
Xia Qing picked two tomatoes, three cucumbers and one pumpkin, and stuffed the basket that Hu Zifeng carried. "Captain Hu is waiting here for a while, and I will go home to squeeze spinach juice."
Although the boss didn''t say it clearly, Hu Zifeng certainly knew what spinach juice can extract. However, the boss issued a ban order, and he would not ask even if he guessed. He just wanted to help hide it as much as possible, "Go, I''ll **** the weeds for a while."
After working for three days, there are only three pieces of grass in the peanut field left. Xia Qing reminded, "Be careful not to touch the red ropes."
Green light peanuts sensed the touch of animals, including humans, and would use leaf vein needles to attack, and Hu Zifeng responded happily.
When Xia Qing came back, she not only brought a smallest sealed bag containing spinach juice, but also a few iron soybeans. "Please take this bean back and hand it over to Brother Luo."
Xia Qing asked Team Luo to ask the people from the No. 1 Territory Planting Group to test what this iron bean is.
In the afternoon, Luo Pei called, "The beans you sent are indeed a type of evolutionary soybean. This soybean has extremely high hardness after evolution. It needs to be soaked for 36 hours first, soaked the skin of the beans softened and then processed. Because this type of evolutionary soybean has high hardness, poor taste, and contains less nutrients, even if it is collected and sent back to the safe area, it will be processed into feed to feed poultry and livestock."
So she has been busy for half a year just to add feed to Boss Sheep?
I couldn''t hear Xia Qing''s response, but Luo Pei could feel her depression and laughed a few times, "When we cleared the evolution forest in the area of ??Territory No. 3 last year, did you see evolutionary soybeans?"
"No." Xia Qing answered very affirmatively.
When performing the cleaning task, Luo Pei and other main players clean up dangerous creatures in front. Xia Qing, as an extra-staff force evolution team member, is responsible for the transport task. After the materials harvested and collected by the team members are sealed, they will be handed over to the force team members. Because the spring was discovered here, Xia Qing was very concerned about the area of ??the No. 3 territory and confirmed that they had not collected soybeans here and there were no peanuts.
"We are the No. 3 territory that was cleared in late November. If soybeans grew nearby last year, even if we couldn''t see the beans, we should be able to see the bean seedlings with leaves falling off." Luo Pei speculated with a smile, "So, this evolutionary soybean should have been transported by small animals."
Xia Qing agreed with Luo Pei''s speculation, "Rats and ants have the habit of storing food for winter. The ants have a small range of activities, so they should be rats."
Thinking of the soybeans that he had worked hard to take care of for half a year, it might be that small animals such as mice, hamsters or squirrels were transported back from other places and hid in the cave. When he was hungry, he found that he could not chew and threw them away. Xia Qing was so depressed that he wanted to fight.
Xia Qing did not do such a fight for nothing.
After hanging up the phone, she checked the location of the red squirrel and found that the little guy was back. The little red dot was fixed in a place in the third area of ??No. 49 Mountain, and it should be resting.
Xia Qing arrived at the high **** and looked from afar to confirm which pine tree the red squirrel was on, so she grabbed a handful of Chinese toon leaves, went home to carry the sheep plow, and greeted the sheep boss, "Boss, go to the plow land?"
Boss sheep may be too idle, so when Xia Qing called him, it rushed over immediately. Xia Qing put the plow stick on it, one person and one sheep, one plow, and one plow, and began to overturn the ground at the entrance of the village.
Xia Qing''s depression turned into strength. After turning over more than four acres of land, she was still not relieved. Xia Qing held a machete and chopped more than 40 wild sycamore trees more than three meters high.
Wild sycamore is a deciduous tree that evolved from after natural disasters. Although its leaves are not high in harmful elements, they contain several elements that are harmful to the human body and cannot be eaten.
This tree blooms fragrant flowers in spring, attracting bees and butterflies to pollinate it; in summer, it produces bright red soft fruits similar to mulberries, attracting birds to peck and sprinkle seeds in all directions through bird feces.
The seeds of wild sycamore trees will germinate within less than a week of landing and grow rapidly. They can reach three or four meters high in two months, quickly occupying the growth space of other plants. Because it grows too fast, the wood of wild sycamore is very poor and cannot be used for furniture, so it can only be used as firewood.
When the territory No. 3 was cleared last winter, the mission team cut off all the wild sycamore trees and dug out and burned them. However, the remaining roots in the soil and the newly brought wild sycamore seeds from birds still emerged one after another, and Xia Qing needed to clean it regularly.
If not cleaned up, the flat cultivated land in her territory will soon turn into a wild sycamore forest.
However, wild sycamore is not useless. Xia Qing specially left more than acre of wild sycamore seedlings in places where the soil is not fertile. When these saplings grow to three or four meters high, Xia Qing will cut them all off and keep the straight main pole as a stick.
These sticks can be used instead of bamboo poles to build crawlers and beans, and can be used as small support sticks in greenhouses, and now they can also be used to surround chicken fences.
Today, Xia Qing chopped wild sycamore trees and turned the ground to make a new chicken pen and transfer the group of chickens in the backyard to raise them here.
After burying the wooden pile and tying the chicken pen area, wait until the chicken and goose enter the chicken pen in the evening, then move the net chicken pen around the old pen to install it, and the new chicken pen can be used.
Xia Qing patted off the soil on his gloves and flew away a few birds looking for insects to eat on the newly translated land.
After packing up the chicken pen, Xia Qing went to the high-slope planting shed and squatted beside the peanut terraces that he had carefully taken care of for almost half a year and was worried.
