Chapter 5 Seeds
Author: Qingqing Platycodon
In the past, grass cut from the fields could be burned into ash and used as fertilizer, but now it cannot be dried because it is illegal and it is said to pollute the air.
Xie Ning didn't have much regret. After all, the vegetable seeds produced by the cards did not require any fertilizer during the planting process.
I don’t know how the vegetables that will be grown will compare with organic vegetables. Xie Ning has a vague guess, but he still has to wait for the vegetables to grow.
"Okay, let's call it a day and go home."
"This land is just waiting to dry out for two or three days, and then we can sow seeds."
"By the way, Ning Ning, what vegetables do you plan to plant?"
Xie Ning helped push the machine, "Growing Chinese cabbage and purslane."
After hearing this, Lao Xie shook his head and said, "This Chinese cabbage is okay, but why do you plant purslane? This is a wild vegetable."
Grandpa Xie glared at his son on the spot, "What's wrong with wild vegetables? You can't grow wild vegetables. When you were poor, how many people survived by eating wild vegetables. Ning Ning, just grow whatever you want. Grandpa supports you."
, I’ll help you plant it together then.”
"Thank you, grandpa." Xie Ning smiled sweetly.
As for Comrade Lao Xie, when Grandpa Xie said this, he became intimidated and could only reply weakly, "Dad will help you plant it too."
The smile on Xie Ning's face widened, and he met the warm eyes and went home chatting and laughing.
Now Xie Ning is waiting for the express delivery belonging to the system to arrive.
-
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the third day. Yesterday was the first day according to the system, and today is the second day.
Xie Ning has been waiting for the express delivery, not knowing whether it will come. The anxiety and doubts in her heart made her slightly distracted while lighting the fire.
The Xie family's house has a dedicated kitchen with modern rice cookers, induction cookers, pressure cookers, gas, and two large stoves that can hold two large pots. They are all left over from the past.
My mother, Zhang Yuqin, likes to use large stoves and large pots for cooking. She thinks the dishes cooked this way are more fragrant.
In the past, Xie Ning helped her mother light the fire when she was at home.
"Ning Ning, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Xie Ning's absentmindedness, Zhang Yuqin asked while cooking.
Xie Ning came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I'm thinking that I will come to cook some time and cook for you, dad and grandpa." She has been away from home these years and has not been able to be filial to her parents. She feels guilty.
.
Zhang Yuqin's gentle face showed a smile, and she was happy in her heart, but refused on her face: "If you need to come, mom can come. Don't you still have to grow vegetables and do live broadcasts?"
"Xie Ning, Xie Ning, your express delivery." At this moment, someone outside heard shouting at the top of their lungs.
When the word "express delivery" hit his ears, Xie Ning's heart suddenly beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.
"Mom, I'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, Xie Ning trotted out and saw a person standing at the door of his yard.
It should be a man. He is quite tall, estimated to be 1.9 meters tall. He is dressed entirely in black, and also wears a black hat and mask, which covers his facial features except his eyes and brows.
"Xie Ning, please sign for your express delivery." The man looked at her, his voice was a normal man's voice, but his eyes were cold, but seemed to have no emotion.
"Oh, okay." Xie Ning signed for the express delivery with a little bit of anxiety and uncertainty.
Almost as soon as Xie Ning signed his name, the man got on his electric bike and left quickly. Xie Ning didn't even have time to ask more questions.
Xie Ning looked at the express delivery order and found that the delivery place was a certain farm abroad. She checked it online and actually found it. However, there was not much information about this farm. It seemed very mysterious, but it did exist.
of.
After carrying the express box in her arms, her mother, Zhang Yuqin, poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Ning Ning, what happened just now?"
"Oh, Mom, it's my express delivery. It's the cabbage and purslane seeds I bought." Xie Ning raised the express box in his hand, then opened the express delivery with scissors and took out two packets of seeds.
"We have Chinese cabbage seeds at home. Why do we need to buy them from outside? Why do you still buy purslane? People don't eat purslane anymore." Purslane is a thing that originated in the 1960s and 1970s.
At that time, wild vegetables were only eaten in poor rural areas, but now rural people don’t eat them.
"Mom, my seeds are better than those at home, and the vegetables I grow will definitely be more delicious. The purslane seeds were given as a gift, and I think they are quite good. Let's just plant them together." Wild vegetables are indeed rarely eaten by people now, thank you.
Ning could only say that it was given as a gift, and he bought it specifically to plant it, so there must be something wrong with his brain. In fact, Xie Ning was more concerned about the effects of the purslane behind this card, so he still had to plant it.
The seeds were packaged in a sealed package. Xie Ning opened the bag labeled Chinese cabbage and poured some seeds out of it.
When she poured it out and looked at it, she was dumbfounded.
What the hell are these rice-sized, rectangular, green things?
Xie Ning squeezed it with his hand and found it hard to the touch.
"System, come out and don't tell me that these are the seeds of Chinese cabbage. Even if I have never planted vegetables before, I know that the seeds of Chinese cabbage are not like this."
[Host, this is the seed of Chinese cabbage, produced by the system, naturally different from reality. 】
Xie Ning choked up: "Are you sure this can really be grown?"
【The host will know after giving it a try.】
Xie Ning gritted his teeth and said, OK, just give it a try!
By the way, here are the seeds of Chinese cabbage and those of purslane.
Xie Ning immediately opened the bag containing purslane seeds.
When he saw the purslane seeds, Xie Ning almost vomited blood.
What the hell is this? It's the same size as a grain of rice, but it's purple. The difference is that it's not a regular rectangle, but there is a small protrusion at the top. There are also two protrusions on the left and right sides. It's good.
It's like it has grown a head and limbs.
This thing is really a seed, can it really grow something?
You have a genetic mutation, right?
Xie Ning suddenly thought of a question and asked in his mind: "System, is it possible that everything I take out from the cards in the future will be like this?"
This is true for vegetable seeds, but what about fish, cattle, sheep, and fruits? Could it be the same...
The system is silent for a while.
[Host, don’t dislike it, you will be really good in the future. The Pastoral Card System will never do anything fake.]
Xie Ning gritted his teeth: Okay!
It wasn't until his mother said he could go in to serve the food that Xie Ning put down his research, but his mood was still complicated for a while.
No matter what the shape of the seed is, it has finally arrived, and then it is time to witness the miracle or whether it is fake.
After thinking about it, Xie Ning's mood improved a lot, and she ate a lot of dinner. Ms. Zhang Yuqin, who was happy cooking, laughed. Adults, you are naturally happy when you see your children enjoying the food you cook.
It's just that Xie Ning looked at his belly with a little flesh and was slightly worried. Do you want to lose weight? Forget it, I can't spare the time now.
