LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 355 Planting Astragalus
After discussing Zhao Zhiming's matter with Chu Qingyun the next day, he immediately announced that Zhao Zhiming had been executed, and then dragged the body away and burned it without letting anyone else see it.
When Tian Wenwen's family heard that Zhao Zhiming was dead, they no longer dwelled on the matter. After thanking Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun, they continued to live peacefully.
Now that there are only more than three months left before the natural disaster, Ye Qingran thought about it for a long time and still felt that he should lead the villagers to try to make money.
Although there is no shortage of food now, no one knows how long the natural disaster will last. If the natural disaster lasts for a short time and it is enough to survive that period, then their lives will not be just eating corn.
But there is no need to grow food now. After thinking about it, only silver is the most useful.
There have been many natural disasters in the north, and the land has not yet recovered to a state where crops can be grown at will. The available land has previously been planted with corn. Currently, the only thing that can be grown in these barren lands is astragalus.
It happened that she still had astragalus seeds in her space. Although there were not many, a batch of copies would be enough for the villagers.
After she prepared all the seeds, she took Chu Qingyun and started distributing them to the villagers, telling them that they could make money by growing astragalus and selling it.
Although the villagers have never planted astragalus, they trust the two of them very much. As long as they say it, they will do it.
The planting of astragalus is different from the crops that the villagers have grown before, and the planting methods are very different. So after the seeds were distributed, Ye Qingran began to teach them how to plant and raise astragalus in order to grow astragalus of up to standard quality.
The villagers also studied hard. No matter whether they could make money or not, Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun could guarantee that they would have enough to eat, so they did not worry too much.
After a few days, the villagers also grasped the key points, and Ye Qingran began to lead them in planting.
The planting process was simple and smooth, but after planting, she found that it was too slow.
At this rate, when Astragalus is planted and natural disasters are coming, won't they be white by then?
What she wants is for people to learn to grow and sell astragalus to make money before a natural disaster strikes, so that they can make money directly after a period of recovery after the natural disaster.
Moreover, astragalus is a very commonly used medicinal material. After the natural disaster, many people will definitely need to use astragalus, and then they will be able to make a lot of money.
It will be too late to learn after the natural disaster.
After pondering for a while, Ye Qingran took out some of the clear spring water in the space and secretly used it on a batch of astragalus.
But the originally effective spring water had no effect in this barren soil, which made her feel a little disappointed.
But later she understood that the soil here could not retain these springs, and it would be useless even if they were all used.
If you want the spring water to be effective, you must first improve the soil. Such a large amount of work will take an unknown amount of time, and even if it is improved, it will become a mess again when a natural disaster strikes. It is really not cost-effective.
If it weren't for natural disasters, she would have led the villagers to improve the soil a long time ago.
After worrying for two days, she decided to start developing the catalyst directly.
Since there is no way to change the established conditions, the only way is to change the usage of the spring water.
After making the decision, Ye Qingran dove into the space and asked Chu Qingyun to look out.
"How long will it take you to come out this time?"
Chu Qingyun was a little nervous, afraid that she would fake her death like last time, and it would take a long time to come out after entering.
It was okay for him to guard her, but he would not do anything to guard a cold body with no heartbeat or breathing.
Ye Qingran forgot about this incident, and thought for a while before replying: "It shouldn't take long, I will come out halfway, don't worry."
In fact, she is not sure how long it will take, but it will definitely not disconnect her consciousness from her body like last time, causing her body functions to stop rotating directly.
If she can come out at any time, there shouldn't be any changes in her body.
Listening to her somewhat uncertain answer, Chu Qingyun pulled her and said, "Is there any way for me to know your status? Or, if you are locked in, what can I do to help you?"
Seeing how nervous he was, Ye Qingran couldn't bear to make him worry, so he replied: "As long as I can still hear your voice, I can come out at any time. So, when you are worried about me, just call me Name, I’ll come back to see you when I hear it, okay?”
"What if you don't come out?"
"Well... then wait a moment. This is different from last time. It's okay. If you can't wait for me, just help me preserve my body. I can always come out."
Seeing her firm eyes, Chu Qingyun let go of him, his voice a little muffled.
"Then it's agreed, if I call you, you'll come out."
"it is good."
After agreeing, Ye Qingran lay down on the bed and sank his consciousness into the space.
She planned to make some fertilizer and add spring water to it so that it would not become ineffective due to soil problems.
She thought of a way and was about to start making fertilizer when she heard Chu Qingyun's voice.
His tone was a little uncertain, and he called softly: "Ran'er, are you there?"
Ye Qingran put down what he was doing without hesitation, exited the space directly, and replied, "I'm here."
After seeing her open her eyes and answer, Chu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did I disturb you?" he asked apologetically.
"No, I haven't started yet. I plan to make a new batch of fertilizer. If it succeeds, these astragalus, which take two to three years to grow, will only take about two months to grow."
Chu Qingyun smiled: "Okay, it's up to you."
After seeing that he was relieved, Ye Qingran returned to the space.
This time, Chu Qingyun called her again after a long time and asked her if she needed something to eat. After that, he didn't bother her again.
The space was complete with everything and no one to disturb her. There was also a small patch of fertile soil where she could test the effect of fertilizer. Soon she was making new fertilizer.
It's just that the soil in the space is of high quality and it's close to a spring, so the effect of fertilizer is not obvious.
After all, the soil in the north is of poor quality, and you have to actually use it to know whether it will work.
When Ye Qingran woke up, Chu Qingyun was still sitting by the bed and watching over him, as if he had never left.
"Are you done?" Chu Qingyun asked.
She nodded: "Yes, but you have to go outside first to see how it works."
This fertilizer still needs to be tried more before it can be used. Otherwise, if you wait for two or three months at a time, you will find out that it is not working and it will be too late to change it.
Fortunately, the effect of fertilizer is pretty good, and you can see young shoots in a few days. With this momentum, it will really mature in about two months.
