Chapter 249 Lacio: Su Bai is outrageous! Suspect him of cheating!
After Zhao Xinqing said that, she hurried towards the fields.
It was too dark last night, so she only knew there was damage in the sweet potato field by the light of the torch, but she didn't know the exact amount.
While pulling the alfalfa out of the fields, Zhao Xinqing carefully counted the losses.
After turning around to Su Bai, Zhao Xinqing faced Su Bai's questioning eyes and smiled:
"Thirteen plants were smashed to death, and more than 30 others were damaged, but it was not serious. The root system is still intact. I trimmed the broken leaves, and there should be no serious problems."
After hearing Zhao Xinqing's summary, Su Bai felt relieved.
Thirteen sweet potatoes sound like a lot of food, but they are nothing compared to that one acre of sweet potato field.
In the end, there was probably far more sweet potatoes than this number left to rot in the ground before I could eat them.
When the two of them had breakfast, they were surprised to find that the sun was shining!
The faint sunshine broke out from the thick clouds, bringing some warmth to the cold earth.
This does not mean the end of the cold wave, just a temporary recovery.
But for Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing, it is a very happy thing.
The more sunlight there is, the greater the chance that the sweet potatoes in the field will survive.
In addition, the sudden appearance of sunshine means that the two of them can take advantage of this window period to do something!
Zhao Xinqing looked at Su Bai, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"Let's go pick up shale!" Su Bai decisively began to pack the poles and backpacks.
The barrage wondered:
【Pick up?】
【Isn’t it mining?】
[Although those shale rocks are exposed on the surface, it would be extremely laborious to extract them...]
[Especially since the two of them don’t have the tools yet.]
Su Bai looked at the barrage and chuckled:
"Don't you understand? This is called God helping me."
"Cold makes rocks brittle."
"And there is little soil covering that hillside, so the huge force of the hail can easily smash the shale in this state."
"If it goes as expected, there should be a lot of broken shale lying on the hillside now, waiting for us to pick it up and take it home!"
Barrage:
【???】
【Is...is that so?】
【Why is the wilderness so friendly to you?】
Su Bai chuckled and said:
"This is called the right time, the right place, and the right people."
"The cold spring and hail are the right weather."
"There is no soil on that shale hillside, which is a good location."
"I can sense opportunities and pick them up quickly. That's human nature."
Barrage:
【……】
[It’s quite impressive, it’s the first time I see someone shamelessly juxtaposing myself with “heaven and earth”...]
[I finally know why the snack foodie has gained weight recently. It was all because of you secretly bragging about it at night!]
Before setting off, Su Bai went to check on the condition of the earthen kiln.
It was hail, not rain, last night, so the earthen kiln was not too humid and was reasonably usable.
Su Bai conveniently made a kiln of Qinggang charcoal, and then he and Zhao Xinqing led the snack boy up the mountain to find the hillside where the giant anaconda was found earlier.
The shale hillside was not far away, and not long after going up the mountain, it appeared in front of the two of them.
On a gentle slope, broken shale is everywhere.
There are still some ice cubes that haven't had time to melt away, quietly flowing in the broken shale.
Zhao Xinqing said in surprise:
"Wow! Su Bai, you are right!"
"It was really smashed a lot!"
Su Bai's eyes also flashed with joy.
As a result, the work intensity of him and Zhao Xinqing was greatly reduced!
These smashed shale will certainly not be able to meet all of Su Bai's needs for building a two-story stone house.
But it can provide at least one-third of shale raw materials!
Su Bai squatted on the ground, rummaged for a while, raised a shale slab the size of two palms, and said:
"This size is ideal."
"If it's much smaller than this, I won't need it."
"If it's twice as big as this, just stamp your feet in the middle and see if you can make it smaller."
Zhao Xinqing nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.
Su Bai said seriously:
"We must pick up all the broken shale on this hillside today."
"Even if it's not the right size, it should be cleared away in the woods."
Zhao Xinqing was stunned for a moment:
"Why? This shale won't run away..."
There are quite a few scattered shale rocks.
Zhao Xinqing was still thinking about whether the move could be divided into three days, so that the burden on herself and the snacks would be much less.
Su Bai shook his head:
"No, no, no."
"What if it hails again tomorrow?"
"When the time comes, the ones that have been smashed will be smashed even more, but no new fragmented shale will appear."
"So we will pick up all these shale flakes today, and maybe they will be refreshed tomorrow!"
Barrage:
【……】
【refresh???】
[God damn refreshed, are you really here to play games???]
[God: Hiss...wait a minute, I was prostituted for nothing???]
[God: It’s not enough for me to have sex for free once, but you want to have sex for me a second time???]
[But...then again, Su Bai, I remember that hail doesn’t happen continuously?]
Su Bai looked at the barrage, nodded and said:
"Although hail generally does not occur continuously..."
"But we have never lived in this wilderness for a long time. Who knows what the late spring cold will be like here."
After Su Bai said that, he and Zhao Xinqing immediately put down the live broadcast tablet, ignored the barrage, and started picking up shale flakes from the hillside.
…
In the Office of the Minister of Finance.
Wazir's face turned livid with anger. After a long time, he slammed the table and growled in a low voice:
"This is outrageous!!!"
"Such a big hailstorm made most of the other contestants scream in agony. There were even some who were so cold that they cried, called their mothers, or had a nervous breakdown."
"Some even died suddenly on the spot!"
"Why is this guy okay?"
"You can get a bunch of building materials for free by riding a horse???"
"Something's wrong! This isn't right!"
Rasio stood up angrily, walked two steps in the office, suddenly turned his head, looked at the Jury Department Director Hikawa Yusaka and the Security Department Director Wang Xianzong, and asked in a deep voice:
"Do you think it's possible that China is helping Su Bai cheat?"
Wang Xianzong: "???"
Hikawa Azasaka: "???"
From what you say, it is confirmed that China has mastered a mysterious meteorological weapon???
They can even control hail?
Does "descendant of the dragon" really mean literally?
Then we can just recognize our ancestors and hug our biological father's lap? Why are we wasting our time with you?
"Emmmm..." Hikawa Yusaka considered his tone and said with a smile:
"It's not impossible..."
"It's just... we don't have the evidence!"
"Moreover...Su Bai also explained the origin of these shale flakes before..."
"I think... his analysis... ah no, the excuse is quite valid."
Wrathion looked gloomily, waved his hand and said:
"Open Li Jixian's live broadcast room for me, I want to see what this guy is doing!"
"If he hadn't made a breakthrough, he might have been in trouble in this match with Su Bai!"
