Chapter 19: Selecting Crops

Zhao Hai led everyone back to the room, and Merlin and the others naturally followed. They arrived at the living room, and Zhao Hai asked Merlin to sit down. However, Meg stood behind Zhao Hai silently, but this time she didn't lower her head, but stared at Zhao Hai's back in a trance.

Zhao Hai has now regained his composure. Although Meg electrified him and made the girl's figure involuntarily appear in his heart, he has too many things to do now, so he is not in a hurry to talk to Meg about love. The future of the entire Buda family is on him, and the first thing he needs to think about now should be the survival of these more than a hundred people.

Merlin has now become accustomed to Zhao Hai's way of handling things, so she didn't refuse. She sat down and looked at Zhao Hai excitedly, saying, "Young master, what should we do next?" She has already begun to unconsciously seek Zhao Hai's opinion.

Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Merlin, when you go outside later, choose some people who are best at farming and let them plant those ten acres of land. Ask them what is the most suitable time to plant at this time. By the way, do we have seeds

Merlin nodded and said, "Yes, we have a lot of seeds in our hands now, but most of these seeds are for grain and ordinary vegetable crops, and they are most suitable for planting in the mountains. The land outside is so good, it would be a waste to plant those things

Zhao Hai nodded and turned to Meilin, saying, "Grandma Meilin, we're starting a fire to cook now. The weather is still a bit cold. What do those slaves use to keep warm at night

Merlin said with a troubled expression, "Young master, at that time we only thought of buying some practical things, such as cooking and heating. Previously, magic stoves were used in the mansion, but now we have too few magic crystals, so we cannot use magic stoves to heat and cook. Now we only use dry trees and hay from the mountains for cooking and heating

Zhao Hai nodded. It was obvious that Meilin and the others, who had always been at the top of the aristocracy, were preparing everything, but they did not know an ancient Chinese saying that there were seven things to do when opening a door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.

These seven things are closely related to people's lives, especially the four essential items of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Among them, firewood ranks first, which shows its importance.

But because they have always held high positions, they are not very familiar with these things. Although Merlin and the others brought a lot of daily necessities, they were not well prepared for the simplest and most important necessity in life, firewood.

The main reason for this is actually the black soil wasteland, which is really barren. Even the grass grows so dead that it cannot survive, which Merlin and his team did not expect.

The population of the Ark Continent is large, but the area is even larger. Chai is not a precious commodity here. The poles of crops in the fields, the branches of trees in the woods, wealthy families can use charcoal, and nobles usually use magic crystals to drive magic stoves. There is no one who worries about firewood, even the poorest people will not be annoyed by burning firewood.

But when the firewood arrived at the Black Soil Wasteland, it became a precious commodity. There were only a few short trees and some weeds growing here. Apart from these things, there was nothing else useful. So Merlin and the others found that although they were well prepared, they had not prepared the most inconspicuous thing on this continent, which happened to be absent from the Black Soil Wasteland.

Merlin looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young master, what do you want to plant on the land outside

Zhao Hai is also thinking about this matter now. He has several seeds in his hand that are suitable for planting outside, such as wheat and grass. Although he also has cabbage, the season is not right now and it cannot be planted. However, wheat and grass are also not suitable. Grass is not necessary now, and although wheat is a good thing, he cannot produce much wood. Most importantly, the yield of wheat is not very high, so Zhao Hai does not want to plant this thing. Now is not the time for him to adjust his taste of life. He has to think about how to solve the problems of the Buda family first.

Now Zhao Hai has only one choice left, corn!

Corn is a good thing and also the crop that Zhao Hai used to be most familiar with. Not only did he personally plant it, but many rural areas around the city where he used to live also grew corn. Corn not only has a high yield, but most importantly, it is also the main crop for producing firewood. Nowadays, there are still many rural areas in the north where firewood is mainly burned in winter through corn stalks.

But now he only has corn seeds that can grow on two acres of land, and this improved land is ten acres, which is simply not enough.

Zhao Hai frowned as he counted the available items in his hand. There were a total of 200 gold coins in the warehouse (which could not be taken out of the space for use), six bags of grass seeds (which could be used for planting six acres), two bags of cabbage seeds (which could be used for planting two acres), two bags of wheat seeds (which could be used for planting two acres), two bags of corn seeds (which could be used for planting two acres), and a season of radish that could be bought for 500 gold coins, but the gold coins could not be taken out of the space for use.

And now he can open up two more acres of land in the space, which requires two hundred gold coins. If he opens up the land, he will have nothing left in his hands.

Merlin looked at Zhao Hai frowning and didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't say anything, knowing that chasing Zhao Hai now was useless. She hoped that this young master who had been creating miracles recently could do so.

Meg was also staring at Zhao Hai in a trance now. She found that when she was thinking, Zhao Hai was particularly charming, and that deep feeling made her particularly fascinated.

Zhao Hai carefully calculated the things in his hands and finally came up with a plan. He turned to Meilin and said, "Grandma Meilin, you should organize those people to clean up the mine later. You need to clean up the mine earlier. Tomorrow, I will improve ten acres of land and tell you what to plant. I will go rest first." After saying that, he stood up and walked into the room. Although Merlin didn't know what Zhao Hai could do, she still chose to believe in him. Recently, Zhao Hai has been performing so well and has gained an ability that she couldn't understand. She believes that Zhao Hai will find a way.

Wood and stone followed Zhao Hai into his room, but Meg didn't. She had to go with Merlin to organize the slaves to clean up the mine, and Merlin alone couldn't handle it.

Zhao Hai returned to the room as quickly as possible, letting the wood and stones keep the wind outside the door. He then led the people into the space.

The space is still the same as before. Although the land and water have been upgraded, there is still nothing visible from the outside. Zhao Hai carefully examined the space and found that there has been no change in the soil and water here, and they have not decreased due to the improvement of the land. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Improving the land outside the space has many benefits for him. If the space suddenly disappears one day, he will also have a large area of land outside and will not starve to death.

But now he is in the accumulation stage, and the existence of space is of greater help to him. If any changes occur in the space due to land improvement, then he will really lose more than he gains.

After looking at the carrots again, they were almost ripe, "Zhao Hai whispered," Sell the carrots in the warehouse

The spatial prompt sound came, "Are you sure you want to sell the items in the warehouse?" Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Sure." The spatial prompt sound came once, "Sell the items in the warehouse and get 500 gold coins. They have been put into the gold coin bag, and there are no items in your warehouse. Please work hard to cultivate

Zhao Hai also had no choice. He originally thought that he would not move the batch of carrots that were about to mature in the field. After these carrots matured, he wanted to see if they could produce seeds. However, it seems that this experiment is still too early. What he needs now is gold coins and something useful for himself. This experiment can only be done later.

Now Zhao Hai's value has become seven hundred gold coins, six small bags of grass seeds, two small bags of cabbage seeds, two bags of wheat seeds, and two small bags of corn seeds.

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

After calculating his existing possessions, Zhao Hai immediately said, "Cultivate the land

The prompt sound of the space came once and said, "To cultivate new land, you need level three and two hundred gold coins. You have met the cultivation requirements. Do you want to cultivate it now

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Yes." With his voice, there was a wave in the space, a flash of mist surrounding the land, and after a flash, a small piece of open space appeared next to the original ten acre land.

Zhao Hai looked at the newly developed two acres of land, which was no different from the land at the beginning of the space. Zhao Hai immediately said, "Plant corn in the field

Seed bags, shovel and buckets immediately cooperated to plant corn on the two acres, which was Zhao Hai's plan.

Zhao Hai knows about corn. Corn is different from radishes. Radishes eat roots, while corn eats seeds. When corn matures, the seeds of corn mature. Even if radishes leave seeds, corn can still grow. Now he has cultivated two acres of land, which can be used to grow corn. When these corn are ripe, he will not only get corn seeds, but also corn stalks that can be used as firewood.

Planting corn on one acre of land generally requires about three kilograms of seeds, and the yield of corn on one acre of land is about one ton. That is to say, if he plants corn on two acres of land, he can get at least four thousand kilograms of corn. If all these corn can be used as seeds, he can plant at least six hundred acres of land, which is definitely a cost-effective business.

Now Zhao Hai only hopes that the corn in the space will not be as good as the corn on Earth before. If the corn in the space can really be used as seeds, it will solve his big problem. He can plant carrots in the space, turn them into money, and plant corn outside. This way, he can have firewood and food, laying a foundation for his future development.

The updates have been a bit slow these past few days, don't mind. Next month, Mingming will definitely speed up the update speed. This month, Mingming has something to do, I'm sorry everyone.
