Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 234
In the slanting wind and drizzle, the earth is irrigated.

At the beginning of September, everyone began to plant some crops all over the mountains and fields.

Taking advantage of the abundant rain now.

The plains are full of busy figures.

In this season, it should be the harvest season, but due to the drought, the fruits on the fruit trees are now very small.

But, very sweet.

The place where Li Yu lives has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the main crops are some navel oranges.

However, in this dimension, there are still many fruit trees that can be planted, so Li Yu also planted some other types of fruit trees.

It was still raining, it hadn't been raining heavily, but it hadn't stopped.

By the mountain pond, Li Yu followed his grandfather to the mountains to cut grass and feed the fish. The two did not communicate much.

Grandpa has never liked to talk, and often does things there silently.

Occasionally, I like to drink two sips of old wine, listen to dramas, and squint my eyes half-closed.

In Li Yu's childhood memory, it seems that his grandfather was always taciturn.

But he remembered that when he went to school in other places, his grandfather prepared a lot of agricultural products from his hometown and a red envelope.
The love of the elderly is often like this. Although there are few words, the mountain of action is full of love.

"Grandpa, do you think we need to add more people to our base? Do we need to expand?" Li Yu asked such a question suddenly, but he wanted to hear how his grandfather would answer.

The sickle in Grandpa's hand paused for a moment, he straightened his waist, and then hammered the hammer.

Shaking the raincoat on his body, he finally said: "I don't know whether to add some people. Your second uncle is more likely to think about it. You can discuss it with him, but people, it's good to be ambitious, but it's important to have self-knowledge. .

There are pros and cons to any choice you make, but sometimes, especially in these turbulent times, you should be careful not to lose control.That's fine. "

What Grandpa said did not directly tell him the answer, but thinking from another angle, if more people are added, whether they can live under control and be able to support them is the most fundamental thing.

Li Yu nodded, then waved the sickle in his hand, struggling to mow the grass.

In the rain, mowing grass is a hard thing. After a week, the grass will grow up, and the sharp tips of the grass will show off, and some people will cut their hands.

Cut out a series of red marks, and then the rain dripped, a little itchy.

In fact, this rain not only brought life to Li Yu and the others.

For more people, this rain is life-saving rain.

In some drier places, this rain made them survive.

This rain has been falling for nearly 10 days, and it has been falling steadily all the time.

Sometimes, there is a drizzle, and sometimes it is slightly heavier, but it is not a particularly heavy rain.

Although the rain was not heavy, it never stopped.

I don't know if it was because of the previous drought that also made the zombies lose their vitality. Now the rain is just slowing down, and there is no loss of tide these days.

But it can be clearly seen that there are many more zombies than in the dry weather before the rain.

These days, Li Yu also took the people in the base, took the arrow feathers he made, and shot the zombies outside the base. It turned out that the effect of these arrow feathers was not bad.

This is also a surprise.

There are a lot of trees. If the bullets run out in the future, these arrow feathers can continue to be used.

It’s just that the composite crossbows I bought were not particularly large. At the beginning, I bought 20 ultra-high-end composite crossbows worth 5 yuan.

I bought another 20 composite crossbows worth 2 yuan each, and the quality is not bad.

Although replenishment was carried out later, and the seizures from the battle with the enemy in the past year, the number of bows and crossbows in the base is less than 100.

However, for now, it is possible to have a bow and crossbow in each hand. '

Time passed by so quietly.
Half a month passed, and the time came to the end of September and the beginning of October.

It is the busy time of farming.

When it first rained in early September, Li Yu began to recruit people to start planting crops. Corn and rice, these are not a problem. One is that there is always water, and the other is that corn is actually relatively drought-tolerant.

Green leafy vegetables such as lettuce have a relatively short growth cycle, so many are planted.

Things like radishes have a growth cycle of one to two months, and they are also planted. After all, this kind of thing can be stored more conveniently.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, it is the busy time for farming.

They started harvesting rice.

The original threshing machine has long been eliminated, and Li Yu stepped on the harvester to harvest on the rice field.

At the beginning, some people said that he was extravagant. In places like the South, it was not cost-effective to buy a harvester.

But, for Li Yu, saving energy is a good thing.

Rumble drove the harvester and harvested the few acres of land on the plain.

But for the terraced fields in the mountains and forests, they need to cut them manually.

It takes less than an hour to harvest the 6 mu of land in the forest.

Ten acres of paddy fields, five acres of corn, and two acres of sweet potatoes.

There are more than 20 acres of land for growing staple food.

In fact, a person consumes 500 catties of grain a year.It's safe and healthy.

400-800 catties range.

If chemical fertilizers and plant protection measures are not used, the yield per mu is low, and only barren-resistant crops can be grown, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. The annual production capacity in the south is generally 0.3 jin/mu based on two crops a year.So 0.5-[-] mu of land is enough.

Two years and three crops in the northern Central Plains, with an average of 1200 jin/mu per mu of land. 0.4-0.5 mu is enough.

If agricultural measures such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used, 3000 mu is enough for a yield of 0.15 catties per mu (of course, all of them are high-yield crops).

But in Li Yu's place, they can do two or even three crops a year.

With the current output, it can far meet the needs of their base, and there is even a large surplus.

Li Yu made some calculations, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, we recultivated the mountains and forests at the beginning. If the original four acres of paddy fields were used, it would definitely not be enough."

During the busy farming season, it is not so busy. Thanks to more manpower and their coordination, the food is quickly processed.

It's just that if the rice wants to be stored for a longer time, it needs to be dehydrated. Li Yu and the others use the simplest method, basking in the sun.

After almost a whole week in the sun, the rice was finally dried.

Packaged and sealed in the warehouse.

They still have to eat the old rice that they hoarded before, and of course take out some of the new rice for everyone to taste.

Li Yu looked at the rice in the warehouse full of rice, and his heart was filled with a sense of steadfastness. In this apocalyptic world, only enough food can give people a sense of security.
