Chapter 29 The New Lord of Land No. 1
Although 60% is still far from the 97%-plus germination rate of seeds before the natural disaster, this number already makes Xia Qing ecstatic.
But soon, Xia Qing, who had been tempered by natural disasters for ten years, regained his composure.
Not counting this spring in her territory, there are four other unpolluted springs that have been disclosed within the Huisan base. The simple method of soaking seeds in spring water to increase the germination rate of seeds must have been discovered long ago.
The reason why it was not announced may be that the amount of spring water is too small, or it may be because crops soaked in spring water do not perform well against rain in the later stages.
She, a new farmer who is not even half-assed, still needs to keep a low profile and be calm. Xia Qing took a deep breath but failed to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, and ran home briskly to see her little potato.
I don’t know why, but the potatoes she had left standing according to the method introduced on the radio had not yet appeared sprouts. Xia Qing wanted to soak the potatoes in spring water overnight to let them germinate quickly, and then planted them quickly.
At night, Xia Qing opened the private chat channel of the lords to hear their seed germination rates, but heard a familiar voice in the private chat channel.
“I am Luo Pei, the new lord of Land No. 1. Please give me your advice.”
Xia Qing sat up suddenly, Luo Pei? !
"boom!"
Xia Qing was startled and pushed the sheep harder, but was kicked off the tatami by the sheep boss. Not only was she surprised, but her thighs also hurt. Not caring about settling the score with the sheep boss, Xia Qing immediately pressed the intercom button and said, "Captain Luo, I am Xia Qing, the evolved lord power of the third place. I have been on many missions with your team before."
Hearing Xia Qing call Luo Pei "captain", the four, five, and six lords also recovered from the shock, announced their homes and sent greetings.
Just now they were thinking that it must be the same name. Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that Luo Pei, the third-ranked strongman of the Qinglong team, the level 10 visual evolution sharpshooter, would actually come to farm!
Luo Pei's calm voice sounded again, "Hello, Xia Qing, long time no see. I am visually impaired and no longer serve as the captain of the Qinglong Team. You can just call me by my name from now on."
Luo Pei is thirty-four, nine years older than Xia Qing, so calling him by name is not allowed. Xia Qing changed her name to "Brother Luo", and Kuang Qingwei and the other three also called him "Brother".
Nowadays, strength is respected. Regardless of whether they are older or younger than Luo Pei, even if Xia Qing calls "Uncle Luo", they will follow him without hesitation.
Zhang San spoke slowly, "I'm Zhang San, No. 7."
“Tang Huai, land No. 2.” Tang Huai finally spoke.
Luo Pei's voice was full of laughter, "Nice to meet you. Have your seeds been planted and sprouted? Is there anything that needs special attention?"
Xia Qing heard that Luo Pei didn't want people to pay attention to him, so he immediately pressed the button and introduced his experience in detail, "Plot No. 3 has been completely planted and has sprouted. The sprouting rate is about 40%. Pay attention to preventing birds and mice. According to my experience, spraying 1:9 scented camphor leaf juice with water is most effective in preventing birds and will not harm the seedlings. Mice need to be searched for and then killed completely.”
As soon as Luo Pei arrived, Xia Qing started talking as much as she had in the previous week. Several other lords deeply felt her respect for Luo Pei.
Qi Fu from Land No. 5 also spoke, "My budding rate is similar to Xia Qing's. If we can keep these buds, this year's harvest will be stable."
“It’s estimated that there will be heavy rain in two months, and we can’t say the harvest until we get through it.” Zhao Ze’s voice sounded a little distressed, followed by Kuang Qingwei’s various complaints, and Luo Pei responded from time to time.
After finishing the private chat and turning off the intercom, Xia Qing lay on the bamboo bed and stared at the smoke-blackened roof, without saying a word for a long time. Something strange about her caught the attention of the sheep boss who was chewing cud. The sheep boss stared at her for a while, then got up and walked around the fire, jumping onto Xia Qing's bamboo bed. Before Xia Qing could figure out what it was going to do, her bamboo bed made a shrill protest and was crushed by the big sheep.
Lamb Boss quickly jumped to the side. Xia Qing, who fell to the ground for the second time tonight, sighed and thanked her seriously, "Boss, thank you, Lao Yang, for coming to comfort me."
The squinting sheep boss was very satisfied with Xia Qing's attitude. He shook his hair and returned to the tatami to sleep on the straw mat. Xia Qing got up and removed the bed frame, laying the bed board directly on the floor, and then picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside table.
Because Luo Pei's vision was impaired, Xia Qing chose to call directly. Having followed Luo Pei's team on missions all year round, Xia Qing certainly knew his contact information and confirmed that he had a satellite phone.
The call was quickly connected. Xia Qing announced his home address and stated his intention, "Brother Luo, I am Xia Qing. This is the mobile phone number I use now. There are safe food evolution perilla and toona buds in my territory. I will let them know tomorrow morning. Can someone from the investigation team bring you some?"
Luo Pei's voice was smiling, which was very different from his previous seriousness. He seemed like a different person, "Thank you very much. If something good grows in my land, I will send it to you to try. I didn't expect that we were out of the safe zone." Since you are so close, I will ask you to come over and sit down after I finish cleaning up."
Although Xia Qing often goes on missions with his team, he is responsible for logistics. He has few opportunities to speak in front of Luo Pei and has nothing to talk about. After a few polite words, Xia Qing hung up the phone, got into bed and chatted with Boss Sheep, "Boss, we have a good neighbor. Now I feel more at ease. But how could Captain Luo's eyes be injured?" How serious an injury would force him to leave the safe zone? How could Yang Jin and the others agree? "
Of course the sheep boss would not answer. After Xia Qing had said enough, he yawned and closed his eyes, listening to the rhythmic cud chewing sound of the sheep boss and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xia Qing waited early on the isolation belt on the north side of the new territory. After reporting to Team Tan that everything was normal in the territory, he handed the basket to Su Ming, the social expert of their team, "Please send it to No. 1."
Su Ming smiled and took the basket, "Sister Qing's basket is getting better and better, and it even has a lid."
Xia Qing smiled and said, "Practice makes perfect."
They walked some distance away, and Xia Qing heard Yuan Rui, a member of the olfactory evolution team, whisper, "This basket smells like toon buds."
"Nonsense, the smell is so strong, who can't smell it?" Su Ming was greedy, "Sister Qing has a good relationship with Brother Luo. She doesn't like Brother Luo, right?!"
"Idiot." Cao Xianyun cursed, "Sister Qing said that she followed the team to clean up the No. 3 land. If you think carefully about the evolutionary forest near here last year, which team led the cleanup task?"
“Brother Luo’s team.” Huzi answered for Su Ming, “Sister Qing went on a mission with Brother Luo’s team, so it’s normal for her to know Brother Luo.”
"You guys are pig-minded!" Su Ming said angrily, "Why don't you think about it, why did Sister Qing from so many teams choose Brother Luo? It must be because she is interested in Brother Luo! Although Brother Luo is older than How old is she? But he’s not bad looking, is he capable? He doesn’t have a wife, does he?
“Su Ming.” Tan Junjie said in a serious voice.
"exist."
“Go back and do fifty laps of penalty racing, and do two sets of basic training.”
Then, Xia Qing heard Su Ming's scream with satisfaction.
