Chapter 22 Cabbage and water spinach
In the end, Shui Ling climbed up the tree and held the little guy in his arms. The little guy bit Shui Ling's finger and started to squeal.
Shui Ling was speechless, so she had to take out her siblings' food rations from the refrigerator, warm them with water, and pour them into the baby bottle. This baby bottle was also used to feed koi fish at the koi restaurant.
Shui Ling thought it was cute, so she took it home and displayed it, and now it is just for this little leopard.
The little leopard was so hungry that he held the bottle in his two paws and drank.
This little thing lost its mother before even opening its eyes. If it were left in the wild, it wouldn't survive at all, but if it were brought back, the tribe would definitely not let it be raised. After all, it is a wild beast.
Finally, Shui Ling brought the little guy into the space, and heard an old voice say: "Save a spirit leopard, the merit value will increase by 100, and you can draw a lottery once."
"Lottery." Shui Ling said happily.
The turntable appeared again, making the person spinning dizzy. When it stopped, Shui Ling was very disappointed. Instead of unlocking the room, there was a 50-gram bag of Chinese cabbage seeds.
But if you think about it carefully, you don’t feel it’s a waste. If you hand sow an acre of land, you only need 50 grams, and you can harvest about 2,000 to 3,000 cabbages. One cabbage weighs 2 to 10 kilograms. Calculated based on the minimum amount, it is 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms.
, then you won’t starve to death this winter.
Her depressed mood immediately dissipated, she touched the little leopard that was eating and sleeping, and placed it on the shag carpet in the office rest area. The temperature here was constant so that it wouldn't freeze.
I looked at the ducks and saw that there were three more eggs in the nest and they were eating fish.
Shui Ling did not disturb them and quietly left the space. The panther on the ground was the mother of the little leopard. Shui Ling couldn't bear to eat it, so she used the space to bury the panther in a depression. As for the wild boar...she couldn't handle it because it was so big.
.
However, she still put it into the space and prepared to get it out again in the bamboo forest.
It was past noon, and she didn't want to give up exploring, so she continued walking deeper. The trees became more and more dense as she went deeper, but she didn't encounter any particularly thick ones.
Shui Ling was soaked all over, and the rainwater on the leaves kept falling, so she could only turn back.
When she arrived at the bamboo forest, she put the wild boar down and ran back quickly.
There happened to be people working in the bamboo forest, and they were all wearing oilcloths or raincoats. After all, when they cut bamboo, they fell into the water like rain.
"Uncle, I found a wild boar that was bitten to death by wild beasts. Get it back quickly." Shui Ling didn't care who it was and shouted directly.
These men were instantly as if they had been given chicken blood. Yesterday's meal was tasteless and tasteless. When they heard that there was meat, they put down their work and went to drag the wild boar.
This wild boar is twice as big as the last one, with long tusks, but the wound on its neck looks scary.
The clan leader looked at Shui Ling with a smile, "Did you discover it again?"
"Yeah, I'm awesome." Shui Ling just doesn't have a tail, otherwise it would be able to swing up to the sky at this moment.
However, the clan leader's face turned cold and he said seriously: "You are not allowed to run around in the future. Look, this was killed by a wild beast. If you don't eat meat, you will starve to death. What if you are taken away by a wild beast?"
Shui Ling stuck out her tongue and immediately promised, "I don't dare anymore, and I will never run around in the future."
"Humph." Apparently the clan leader didn't believe it.
Shui Ling immediately changed the subject, "Grandpa, it's not very cold yet. My family has cabbage seeds collected from Fan Bang. Do you want us to plant some? No matter how big they grow, it's good to dry them and keep them for winter."
"Huh? Do you have seeds? What kind of vegetable is cabbage?" The patriarch became interested.
"Uh... I have to ask my dad about this. Yesterday he mentioned finding a place to plant it. I don't know what it will look like." Shui Ling quickly dismissed the blame.
Just when Shui Zheran came out of the cave, he heard his daughter's words and glared at her fiercely. This girl would blame everything on him, but he was willing to take the blame.
The patriarch saw him and immediately asked: "Four boys, what is cabbage?"
Shui Ling almost laughed out loud, "Four boys, if you hear something wrong, you will become a dead boy."
Shui Zheran walked over with a smile and said: "The man said that the white cabbage and the green leaves are very similar to the cabbage, but they are bigger than that."
After a pause, he continued: "He said it's called Baicai for good luck, so I said just call it cabbage."
"That's it. Can I plant it now?" The patriarch was afraid that it wouldn't grow.
Shui Zheran nodded, "It can be planted. There is also a kind of willow leaf. It is said that the leaves are like willow leaves, but hollow. The place where they are planted needs to be moist. I just took a look and there is a place downstream that can be planted."
Shuiling's eyes widened, water spinach? Where did this thing come from? Of course, she was not stupid enough to ask directly.
The patriarch sighed: "Okay, great, then stop chopping bamboo and be responsible for growing vegetables."
Shui Ling looked at the top of the mountain. In fact, it was best to grow vegetables on the top of the mountain because there would be no danger of wild beasts.
After all, there are many wild birds downstream, and they all like to eat vegetables.
So she asked: "Dad, can we plant it up there? There are many wild birds downstream, and we can't guard them every day."
The patriarch looked up and frowned and said, "Isn't it a moist place? It's dry up there, and it's not practical to lift water."
"Besides, the roof of the cave is always wet, so the cave below will be unsafe."
Shuiling said weakly: "We can use bamboo tubes to grow vegetables. When the weather gets cold, we can divide the bamboo tubes and let the vegetables grow while eating."
Shui Zheran's eyes lit up, this is okay, the lighting is good from above. As for watering, you can set up a shelf on the edge of the river and make a windlass to draw water.
"Leave this to me, I'll do it. By the way, Shui Ling quickly washes the diapers." Shui Zheran winked at Shui Ling.
Shui Ling immediately understood, "Grandpa, I'm going to wash the diapers."
"This girl is so hot-tempered." The clan leader smiled and continued to ask Shui Zheran about this and that. Shui Zheran found an excuse to grease the soles of his feet.
Shui Ling returned to the cave and saw her mother glaring at her. She thought she had discovered that the wild boar had made her unhappy.
She smiled coquettishly and said, "Mom, I'm going to wash the diapers."
"Wait a minute." Su Qin looked at her faintly and asked after a long time: "Have you secretly drank your sister-in-law's milk? Although you are a child now and need nutrition, you can't steal your sister-in-law's milk."
Shui Ling, "..." The misunderstanding was huge, and she quickly explained, "No, I didn't drink it secretly, I just gave some to the little leopard."
As she spoke, she took out the little leopard and held it in the palm of her hand to show her.
Su Qin raised his hand and poked it. The little leopard yawned, with a pink tip on its tongue. It was still curled, and its mouth squirmed very cutely.
"This thing is a wild beast. You don't really want to raise it, do you?" Su Qin asked.
Shui Ling nodded, "Saving it gave me 100 merit points. I drew cabbage seeds, so we will have vegetables to eat in the winter."
