Chapter 148 Hiding Beans

The golden rice fields swayed in the greenhouse.

Each rice plant was nearly two meters tall, and they were densely packed in half of the greenhouse.

And Mr. Fang and others were harvesting rice in the field, one crop after another. Compared with the two-meter-high rice plants, they looked like dwarfs under the rice.

"This... Boss, did you turn on the accelerator?" Shen Shan couldn't help but complain.

"If I turned on the accelerator, I would accelerate the fairy beans first. What's the point of accelerating this thing?"

Hu You replied helplessly.

The original estimated basic yield of fairy beans was 3 to 5 per day. Two perfect fairy beans were planted, which is equivalent to 6 to 10 per day.

But for some reason, Mr. Fang only gave two fairy beans per seedling per day, saying that the fairy bean seedlings were still in the growth stage and could only reach this yield.

If this could be doubled, what's the point of planting rice?

Even if the bean sprouts maintain their current output, after doubling, there will be a guaranteed minimum of 240 beans per month. Not to mention 50 food-eating beasts, even 100 can be supported.

Wait!

The bean sprouts have... three beans!

Two bean sprouts, a full six green beans hanging on the bean sprouts, although they are of ordinary quality, but there are indeed six beans!

Didn't Mr. Fang say that each young bean sprout can only produce two beans every day?

What's going on?

"Teacher! Look, Boss Hu is here!"

"Boss Hu, you're finally here!"

"Woo woo woo, Boss Hu... Can you let me move bricks? Even Palu doesn't work like this!"

The complaints were endless.

Before Hu You could speak, Fang Lao, who was cutting rice, stood up and yelled at them: "What are you arguing about! If you want to work, work. If you don't want to work, get out of here. Don't make a fuss here."

After that, everyone bent down and continued to harvest rice.

Fang Lao put down his sickle, hammered his hunched waist, and slowly came to Hu You.

"What is Boss Hu doing here? If you have nothing to do, you should leave quickly."

"Are you chasing me away?"

Hu You smiled and asked back: "Fang Lao, if I remember correctly, this should be my boat, right?"

"But this is my field."

Fang Lao stiffened his neck and had a very tough attitude, but a string of words appeared on his head.

[Why did this kid come here suddenly? Could he have discovered that I hid the grain? 】

Mind reading worked!

Even without this mind reading, Hu You found something wrong.

He could naturally judge that the reason why this person was so tough was because he was guilty!

"You are a person of academician level, but you are so arrogant to steal other people's things. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"What do you mean by stealing? What did I steal?"

Mr. Fang's dark face turned red instantly, and his voice became louder: "I grew all these things. Who did I steal from?"

"Tell me! What did I steal?"

"Okay, Mr. Fang, don't get excited. I didn't say I would come to settle the score with you."

Hu You was afraid that he would get excited and accidentally turn his back.

He said slowly: "Mr. Fang, you grew all the things in this field. I have no objection to you disposing of them at will."

"But as the owner of this ship and the provider of these seeds, I must have the right to know, right?"

"According to the calculation that each fairy bean seedling produces three, after so many days, a total of fifty-one should have been produced, but you only gave me twenty-four in total, and you said you used ten for experiments."

"The remaining seventeen are nowhere to be found."

"Don't tell me that you ate seventeen fairy beans by yourself."

"Not to mention the Liquan, you hid some of the fairy beans, and you should have collected a lot of Liquan, right?"

Hearing Hu You's voice, the people who were working in the field couldn't help but stop their work and look up at the front.

Seventeen fairy beans! And an unknown number of Liquan!

They all worked in the fields, so they naturally understood what the fairy beans meant.

That's a normal person's food for a month!

This person hid a full seventeen, enough for a person to eat for a year and a half!

"What are you looking at!"

When Mr. Fang noticed that the sound of harvesting had stopped, he immediately turned around and looked behind him, shouting to the group of young people: "Get to work! Don't be lazy!"

Everyone trembled, and after thinking for a moment, they found that Boss Hu did not stop him, and then started a new round of harvesting.

"Boss Hu..."

Mr. Fang turned his head to look at Hu You. Instead of feeling embarrassed as if he was caught as a thief, he was justified: "I admit that I hid these things."

"But I didn't do it for myself, but for the whole of China!"

"Huh?"

Hu You snorted lightly, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

Mr. Fang continued, "Seventeen magic beans are nothing to you."

"But for those who are struggling to survive... one is the hope of surviving in the end of the world!"

"As long as there is such a magic bean, plant it, there will be inexhaustible food!"

"You can watch people die without helping, you can choose who gets on the ship, I understand you, because you have to ensure the safety of others on the ship!"

"But you can't decide who has the right to survive!"

"If everyone in the world dies, even if the people on our ship survive, the extinction of mankind is only a matter of time."

"I do this for China, for the continuation of mankind!"

Mr. Fang became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, his face turned red, and he barely raised his arms and shouted, saying that he was the right one.

There is no way, judging from Fang Lao's age, he is someone who has experienced the famine period.

People in those days ate everything.

Everything about tree bark is trivial, even Guanyin soil can be eaten!

It is a kind of white clay. After eating it, it will create a feeling of fullness. However, if you eat too much, it will condense in the intestines and be 'stuffed' to death.

People who came from that era know exactly what it feels like to be hungry, so when they are not worried about food and drink, they think of other people struggling with hunger.

Hu You can now understand why he fell into madness after learning about these things.

In addition to the obsession with scientific research, it is more of a responsibility

He pondered for a few breaths, and finally looked at Mr. Fang: "...take out the fairy beans you hid."

"You still don't understand?"

Mr. Fang looked at him with a heartbroken look on his face: "Hu You, I ask you to call me Xiao Hu!"

"As long as humanity can continue, it is meaningful for us to live. If you are the only one in the world, then what if you have an impact on the whole world?"

"That's not what I meant."

Hu You smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fang, you should have studied it. Not all fairy beans can be successfully grown. You take them out and I will pick them for you, but you will keep them."

"The next time you meet a crowd, it's up to you to choose to give or not."

"Huh? Oh!"

Mr. Fang immediately took out a small bag of fairy beans from his pocket.

Hu You only glanced at it. When the panel popped up, he was stunned on the spot.

At least half of those fairy beans are perfect fairy beans!

Inside... there are even higher-level beings!
