Chapter 693 Planting bamboo
Back home, Xia Qing happily counted the amount of his points card.
After a year of farming, she updated her equipment from head to toe, built an iron mesh wall in the territory, added a lot of electrical appliances at home, added a lot of clothes and bedding, and saved 288,800 points and hundreds of qishishi.
This is something she didn''t dare to think about before her territory last year.
Farming is a very hard thing to rely on the gods to make a living. Xia Qing was able to save these points and family business because there were any polluted springs and high-yi element spinach in her territory, because she was an evolutionist who could go out of the territory to find supplies from the evolution forest, and because she became a second-hand dealer between humans and wolves.
If she was just an ordinary person, there would be no pollution-free spring water in her territory, nor would there be any high-quality elemental spinach...
Xia Qing turned her head and looked through the window at the neat greenhouses in the territory, the sheep chewing under the large toon tree on the high slope, and the red squirrel with big belly jumping among the branches, listening to Zhao''s mother shouting loudly in the next territory.
If she was just an ordinary person and had only obtained an ordinary territory, she would bravely walk out of the safe zone like ordinary people and stay in the territory and work hard to farm and dig wild vegetables every day. After a busy year, even if you can’t save many points, you will no longer work hungry every day like before.
Thanks to the Red Squirrel for helping her discover the pollution-free spring water; thanks to the Sheep boss, she has a partner and established contact with the wolf pack.
After hiding the points card, Xia Qing changed into light clothes, sprayed the deworming potion on her body, put on a sun hat and gloves, and went out to work.
After more than a year of careful management, the toxic animals and plants that can threaten her in the territory of No. 3 were basically eliminated, so when Xia Qing worked in the yard and greenhouse, she no longer had to wear protective clothing or protective masks.
Of course, when going to uncultivated areas or villages, or walking in rain or in extreme weather, you still need to wear protective clothing and protective masks.
All the tasks arranged today have been completed. Now there is still an hour before dark. Xia Qing takes advantage of this time to process the hardness evolution bamboo pole brought back today, then plant the bamboo roots brought back. Then when it gets dark, he will move the big chickens in the greenhouse back to the chicken coop in the yard, and then finish work and go home to cook and eat.
Generally speaking, bamboo that has grown for more than three years should be used to make greenhouse brackets and furniture. Because Hsinchu has a high moisture content of less than three years, it is prone to cracking or bending.
But the bamboo pole that Xia Qing carried back has evolved its hardness, which is much harder than ordinary old bamboos over three years old, and has good toughness, so Xia Qing has high hopes for it.
This bamboo is very straight, so it does not need to be straightened, it only needs to be dried and can be used.
The drying treatment methods include natural drying, slightly roasting, boiling after boiling water and roasting in the fire. Although natural shade drying can maximize the natural color and texture of bamboo, it takes too long, and it is difficult to master the degree and heat of the latter two, so Xia Qing chooses to expose it to the sun after slightly roasting.
She first cut off a piece of two meters long with a machete, and then split the remaining bamboo poles into bamboo pieces, which can be used to reinforce the greenhouse after processing.
After the bamboo sheet was finished, Xia Qing put on protective clothing and greeted Boss Yang who was watching. He walked out of the south gate with a two-meter-long section of bamboo. Before he could go out five meters away, he heard rustling sounds from the territory No. 2, followed by Tang Huai''s shouts.
"Xia Qing, go and send bamboo to Uncle Huo?"
Xia Qing raised her lips slightly and stopped nodding.
Tang Huai, holding a shovel, came out of the weed wall and stared at the bamboo and wood in Xia Qing''s hand with a diameter of almost twenty centimeters. "The color of this bamboo is so beautiful. Is it an evolutionary purple bamboo?"
Xia Qing shook her head, "I don''t know either."
After the evolution of Blue Star creatures, it became more difficult to identify plant varieties. For Xia Qing, the variety of bamboo doesn’t matter, just use it.
Tang Huai discussed with Xia Qing, "Can you exchange it for me? I want to use this kind of bamboo to make a tea tray for my father." Xia Qing shook her head, "The bamboo has a high elemental content, and it is not suitable to make a tea tray, and I have already split the remaining bamboo into bamboo slices."
Tang Huai asked, "Split into bamboo pieces? What are you going to use for?"
"Make a greenhouse bracket." Xia Qing explained, "This bamboo pole has high hardness, good toughness, and is lighter in weight than other woods, making it very suitable for a bracket."
Although Xia Qing was right, Tang Huai still felt that Qu Gui was there. However, this was the material that Xia Qing got, so she had the final say on how to use it. Tang Huai stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me, I''ll hand it over to you."
Territory No. 11-18 is under the jurisdiction of another inspection team, so Xia Qing cannot let Tan Junjie''s team help deliver the supplies.
Territory No. 11 and Territory No. 3 are separated by Territory No. 2, but to reach the north gate of Territory No. 11 from Xia Qing''s territory, you need to go from this east-west passage to the east-west passage to the south. It would be much more convenient for Tang Huai to teleport. He only needed to walk from the north to the south of the territory No. 2.
Intuitively speaking, the route of Xia Qing sending bamboo and wood is a rectangular three sides, and when it is teleported by Tang Huai, you only need to walk one side of this rectangular one side.
"Thank you." Xia Qing handed the bamboo pole to Tang Huai very simply and returned to his territory.
Tang Huai held the shovel and carried the bamboo and wood and muttered back to the territory in a low voice, "Why is it so heavy?! This woman is so straightforward this time, why do I feel that she planned to let me send it to her from the beginning..."
Xia Qing''s mouth in Territory No. 3 was raised higher. That''s right, that''s what she planned, because she knew that Tang Huai would definitely run out and would definitely ask for help, so she didn''t ask the people from Hu Zifeng''s team to come to guard the territory.
After handling the bamboo pole, you can go to plant bamboo roots.
The idea of ??planting bamboo was proposed by Yuan Yan. After learning that the evolutionary bamboo discovered by Xia Qing is a hardness evolution variety, Yuan Yan had this idea.
Because of rain damage and evolutionary pests and diseases, greenhouses must be built to farm in the territory. The cost of steel frame greenhouses is too high, and even if they are properly maintained, they can only be used for two years. Because the environmental conditions during the natural disaster period are even worse, the external stress of the greenhouse becomes larger, which reduces the service life of the bamboo frame greenhouse.
Therefore, in order to make the wooden greenhouse last longer, the lords thought of many ways, such as using steel frames to key bearing points when building, and other hardwoods to internal brackets. However, the arched structure of the greenhouse can only be made of bamboo.
Now, they have better building materials, which are the hardness evolution bamboos found in Mountain No. 52, so Yuan Yan wants to plant a few plants in his territory.
It is very dangerous to plant evolutionary plants in the territory, but after analysis, Yuan Yan believed that this danger is controllable.
First of all, this bamboo is attacked with roots and is a low-risk and aggressive evolutionary variety. Yuan Yan and Qi Fu are both power evolutionists and can deal with this risk.
Secondly, Yuan Yan is a magnetopath. If this bamboo evolves again in the rain, she can also perceive the mutation before it is completed and cut them down with her husband to prevent the mutation from happening.
So, when Yuan Yan asked Xia Qing to come over to get the bamboo pole, he brought back a few pieces of bamboo roots. The vitality of the evolutionary plants is very tenacious. The bamboo roots dug out yesterday can still survive if planted today.
Xia Qing''s idea was consistent with Yuan Yan, so when she went to pick up the bamboo pole today, she not only brought back a few bamboo roots that were to be planted in the territory of No. 3 and No. 5, but also planted the remaining bamboo roots in the moist and open space of Mount No. 50.
If it goes well, after the second rainstorm this year, she will be able to harvest at least a dozen bamboos of hardness evolution to strengthen the greenhouses in her territory.
