Chapter 742 Used Cars
After handing the rabbit to Zhao Ze, Xia Qing returned to his territory and continued to clean up the weeds growing on the open space outside the greenhouse.
There is a lot of rain in recent days, and the growth rate of weeds is very fast and must be cleaned regularly. Otherwise, taller weeds will not only block the sun, but pests and microorganisms in the grass may spread to the greenhouse, threatening the growth of crops.
The weeds outside the flat arable greenhouse are easy to clean up, and Xia Qing drove a micro-cultivator to turn and cut them after a few rounds. The weeds grown on the open space more than 20 meters away from the woods need to be manually cleaned by Xia Qing.
Manually cleaning the weeds outside the greenhouse after the rain is a farm job with a high risk factor.
Because there must be evolutionary varieties among these weeds, the grass rods may have high hardness, the juice may contain great toxicity, and the grass leaves may also have sharp edges that can cut the serrations of first-class protective clothing in the wild.
Moreover, insects and pathogenic microorganisms that may be hidden in the dense weeds and are resistant to insect repellents. If you are bitten by these insects or infected with pathogenic microorganisms, you may die.
The weather has become stuffy this season, and it is uncomfortable to work in protective clothing, so many people are lucky enough to wear protective clothing, or only wear protective boots and protective pants, which makes working outside the greenhouse even more dangerous.
Just yesterday, the investigation team used a loudspeaker and walkie-talkie to broadcast the latest dangerous announcement:
Four people in the northern area of ??the territory did not wear protective masks when cleaning weeds and were bitten by evolutionary flying ants carrying fatal pathogens, causing death from sepsis. The Territory Management Department issued a danger warning, reminding the lords to wear protective clothing and protective masks correctly as required when working outside the greenhouse.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. Xia Qing is holding a **** to weed the greenhouse in the north buffer forest in the territory of No. 3.
Grass does not all grow straight upwards. Some spread around against the soil, and some climbing vines tangle other plants. Some of them only have a cluster of delicate small leaves, but their roots are deeply rooted in the soil. If only the leaves are removed, a large area will emerge in two days.
Therefore, Xia Qing does not use a sickle to clean weeds, but uses a special wide-faced **** to remove the roots. This cleans up cleaner, but it also takes more effort.
There are many stones on the hillside. Even if Xia Qing is a power evolver, she will be thirsty and tired after working for a long time.
After cleaning up the weeds and shrubs in the isolation belt outside the greenhouse on the low slope, she went into the shed to take off the protective mask, wiped off the sweat on her face and neck with a towel, and she let out a long breath.
Xia Qing is a high-level evolver and has better resistance than ordinary people and ordinary evolvers, but she works in areas covered by non-green insect-proof nets in the territory. No matter how hot she is, she will take sufficient protection.
She has been moving in the territory these days, not only wearing protective clothing, but also spraying insect-proof sprays exchanged with her idols on her body.
Because they are bitten or infected with evolutionary bacteria by poisonous animals, they must take or apply medicine to detoxify. Xia Qing cannot use medicine now.
Next month, she will start to soak in body damage recovery medicine again. If you take or apply the medicine during this period, it will affect the effectiveness of the recovery medicine, and Xia Qing may be in vain.
After drinking the water, Xia Qing came under the grape trellis beside the Quanshui Cave and rested with the shade formed by the grape vines and the cave. The boss of the sheep who had been eating grass on the hillside also came over and lay next to him.
Xia Qing stretched out her legs wearing light and breathable light purple trousers, shook her new shoes, and stretched out her arms wearing a thin long gown of the same color, sighing, "Boss, you really get what you pay for. This dress is so comfortable."
Boss Sheep, who was covered in fur, narrowed his eyes and ignored Xia Qing.
Xia Qing is wearing the new summer outfit she had exchanged with Yang Jin last time.
The color and style of this clothes are ordinary, but the price is comparable to the third-level protective clothing in the field, and it reaches the protection level of the second-level protective clothing in the field. Therefore, Xia Qing works in the territory and no longer has to wear outdoor protective clothing when wearing it.
After Yang Jin asked Hu Zifeng to send the clothes over, Xia Qing tried it on and confirmed that it was worth it. He immediately contacted Yang Jin and exchanged another set of the same series.
There are many summer styles of this new material, and the prices of different models vary greatly. Xia Qing wanted the most practical and simplest low-priced model, but she also sold it for 4,500 points per set. Now she has three new summer long-sleeved shirts and trousers made of camouflage, light purple and water green, which are enough to replace them.
With the comparison of new material coats, Xia Qing felt that the original pure cotton underwear was not comfortable enough.
After searching for information online and finding that this new material also has underwear, Xia Qing used the purchasing channel of her good friend Xin Yu to create three new material underwear, which was replaced with the outer garment.
In addition to underwear, Xia Qing also bought two pairs of summer protective boots, two comfortable and breathable protective masks, and several head covers, gloves and socks under Xin Yu''s recommendation.
These clothing and protective equipment cost a total of 56,700 points. Xia Qing felt distressed when she heard the price, but she did not hesitate when paying.
Xia Qing has always been within her ability to eat the best food and use the best things. It used to be fashionable and so in the safe zone, not to mention the better conditions now.
Isn’t working hard just to make yourself feel more comfortable? Otherwise, what''s the point of hard work?
After a while of rest, Xia Qing put on the newly exchanged protective mask and walked out of the greenhouse, cleaned the weeds outside the high-slope planting ground in one breath, then shook the soil on the roots of the weeds, tied them into bundles for the sheep to carry them, and dry them on the open space outside the yard. These grasses cannot be used to weave straw mats or make nests for chickens, but they can be burned into ashes for potassium fertilizer.
Potassium fertilizer is an indispensable fertilizer for the growth of corn, tomato and potatoes.
After finishing the farm work this morning, each person and sheep slowly went home to make lunch and take a break.
"Xia Qing, are you here?"
In the Lord''s channel, Yue Haiying''s inquiry came.
Xia Qing pressed the button, "Hey, Brother Yue, you said."
Yue Haiying asked, "A batch of old cars were eliminated by the army, and each car was worth 30,000 points. Are you interested?"
Xia Qing had to drive out the territory when buying a car, and he could not hide it from others. That''s why the two of them communicate on the walkie-talkie and cross the road for the car.
During the natural disaster period when materials are shortage, even if it is an old car, it is quite cheap to sell only 30,000 points. Xia Qing knew that Yue Haiying had more than one car, but she still pretended to be reluctant to let it go, "Brother Yue, why are the old cars so expensive?"
"snort."
In the simple container house of the No. 14 territory, Feng Wen sneered coldly and mocked Xia Qing for being poor, "A broken car worth 30,000 yuan is expensive. I really have never seen the world. Brother Meng, let''s get a car too? The territory is too big, and it''s not convenient to go anywhere without a car."
Sitting on the wooden stake by the bed, Yan Meng was looking at his cell phone, and he didn''t raise his head, and he was too lazy to speak. Feng Wen pursed her lips and secretly moved her body to stretch her neck, wanting to see what he was looking at.
Yan Meng turned around alertly, "Stop annoying me here, get up and go get out of weeds!"
Feng Wen, who was half lying on the bed, felt aggrieved, "I just woke up and felt uncomfortable and hadn''t eaten yet, so I didn''t have the strength to pull weeds..."
Seeing that Yan Meng didn''t say anything, Feng Wen immediately made a petite request, "Can Brother Meng help me dry some filtered water? I want to take a shower."
Yan Meng frowned impatiently, but still stood up and walked out.
After he went out, Feng Wen immediately turned around and opened the window on the other side, and tried to get close to the dirty screen window, breathing the fresh air coming in from the outside, and then heard Tang Huai''s voice coming from the walkie-talkie, "Brother Yue, the batch of off-road vehicles purchased in the nine years of Tianshao were of good quality, how could second-hand cars only sell for 30,000 yuan?"
