Chapter 472: Grown it yourself?
"Thank you." Li Weiguo took the apple, pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing a forced smile.
Normally, if he saw such a big apple, he would jump for joy.
After all, in the current situation where food and vegetables are in short supply, fruits and the like are almost nowhere to be found.
Its value is almost as high as that of gold. It is so precious.
However, Li Weiguo currently wasn’t in the mood to be happy over a piece of fruit.
Mainly, this thing is not a necessity of life.
It’s better to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
He himself is not the kind of person who likes to eat fruits very much.
Therefore, compared with this apple, he is more concerned about the "crisis" that is about to be faced.
.........
Seeing that after Li Weiguo took the apple, he returned to his previous dazed state with a sad face, Lin Hai sighed.
Even Apple can’t “coax” you? ? !
He didn't believe it, so he picked up the apple in his hand and took a bite in front of Li Weiguo.
There was a crisp sound of "click".
Fruity aroma!
"Hmm~ so delicious!" Lin Hai closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
"This apple is so fragrant, crisp, sweet and delicious~"
"Major Li, please try it, it's delicious!"
Li Weiguo: ………
This kid is actually in the mood to eat.
Can't you see that he is worried about the near future?
Really are……
But on second thought, Li Weiguo felt that it was useless for him to think so much.
Just worried.
Anyway, here we come,
Just face it calmly.
Thinking of this, Li Weiguo felt a little more relaxed.
He nodded at Lin Hai, and then tasted the big red apple in his hand.
"Crack!"
It is juicy, sweet, crispy and delicious, with a full mouthful of sweetness.
!!!
What kind of apple is this?!
It's so delicious too!
Everyone has eaten apples.
But this was the first time in Li Weiguo's life that he had eaten such a delicious apple.
Before he knew it, Li Weiguo had finished the fist-sized red apple in a few bites.
If Lin Hai hadn't reminded him, he would have almost swallowed the apple core.
Seeing Li Weiguo licking his lips with an unsatisfied look on his face, Lin Hai said in a slightly smug tone:
"How about it, Major Li? I didn't lie to you, did I? Is this apple delicious?"
Li Weiguo nodded rapidly, "It's delicious, better than any fruit I've ever eaten!"
Then, he asked subconsciously:
"Where did this apple come from?"
But as soon as he asked, he regretted it.
The environment today is no longer the same as before.
Especially the topic about this precious food is extremely sensitive!
Because, now, an unwritten rule has been formed in the interactions between the survivors.
That is, you cannot casually ask the other party where their supplies come from.
This is very rude!
It’s just like in prosperous times, when you have a precious treasure and you show it to others, and they turn around and ask you where you got it.
Maybe this description is not quite accurate.
But in summary,
It's just impolite!
However, this is just Li Weiguo's one-sided feeling.
Lin Hai on the opposite side obviously didn't take this seriously.
He is a member of the Fiery Team. Apart from his teammates, the people he interacts with the most are the people from the Pocket Team.
Even the official people from the shelter will only have brief contact when there is a mission.
Not to mention the survivors in the shelter.
There is almost no chance of contact.
Therefore, he knew nothing about the new unwritten "rules" among the people.
Naturally, they will not comply.
Therefore, Lin Hai did not think that Li Weiguo's question was impolite, and he replied cheerfully:
“Ah, these apples are grown by us.”
Li Weiguo opened his eyes wide in shock when he heard this. "Ah? You grew it yourself?"
"Yes!" Lin Hai nodded. "It's still in the experimental stage. Once the technology matures, it can be widely promoted in the shelter."
Lin Hai didn't lie.
This apple was indeed cultivated and planted by him and other members of the Fire Team.
It’s just that the apple tree saplings and the soil for planting were provided to them by Li Luo through Lu Jingcheng.
There is nothing special about the sapling.
It was the dwarf potted apple saplings that Li Luo bought when he was hoarding supplies before the end of the world.
What's peculiar is the soil.
That's no ordinary soil.
But the soil in space!
Yes, that's right.
Li Luo specifically from the space,
The soil was dug out for planting.
In order to prevent the soil in the space from being polluted by the environment like the soil outside.
Li Luo also specially stored them in pots of different sizes indoors.
The place where Lin Hai and his team cultivate apple trees is inside the villa where they live.
They sealed off the terrace on the top floor of the villa and transformed it into a glass sunroom.
Not only apples are grown there, but also other common fruits and vegetables.
However, each variety is a "unique product" with only one unique seed.
Because Li Luo only gave one copy.
It's not her who is stingy.
But she doesn't have much in stock.
of course.
The inventory here refers to the inventory of seeds she originally purchased.
This does not include the seeds she grew herself from those mature crops in the space.
The reason why Li Luo did not take out the seeds she cultivated but used the original seeds was very simple.
Because the seeds she cultivated herself grew in space.
In a sense, it can be considered a mutated crop.
Benign mutation!
It becomes more delicious~
So, she wanted to see if there would be any changes in the crops grown outside the space using the space soil and the seeds cultivated from them.
If it is the same as in space.
Then Li Luo planned to vigorously develop the soil transfer plan.
Anyway, there is plenty of soil in her space.
Even if you dig for several lifetimes, you can never empty it!
Now that we have decided to rebuild our home,
Don't be stingy about this matter~
.........
anyway.
After listening to Lin Hai's explanation, Li Weiguo understood.
Although hydroponic technology has become popular in every household in the shelter.
But he knew that research on crop cultivation had been going on in the shelter.
Moreover, it is not just the official authorities who are doing this.
Some private organizations are also trying to find ways to overcome the current difficulties in planting.
After all, many varieties of fruit and vegetable crops can only be planted, not hydroponically grown.
Therefore, in order to prevent those cultivated crops from becoming "extinct", we must not give up this research.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the shelter of City N, where many talented people are emerging, there is actually a scientific research team that has successfully cultivated crops.
