Chapter 124: Big Sign-in and Big Harvest
Chapter 124: Big Sign-in and Big Harvest
On the other side, the Li family.
"Huh! I finally finished my plan."
Li Kailang looked at the clean white ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Open skylights and wall windows for ventilation.
"I'll go find Liu Lishun to buy some tickets later. How can the windows be without curtains? It's a good opportunity to buy some seasonings as well. I've finished eating all the food I saved."
Li Kailang had prepared a lot of meals before, and originally thought that they would last for two or three months, but he didn't expect that they would be almost finished by the end of the month.
"Oh, and there are dishes. Now that the decoration is complete, we have to get a new set of tableware, so that we don't have no tableware to use later."
Li Kailang still remembers that when Aunt Zhao from the backyard came to his house, he didn't even have a cup to entertain her.
Li Kailang has never been short of money. Li Huaide rewarded him with 200 yuan, and later his leader rewarded him with another 200 yuan.
The 400 yuan directly offset the money for decoration and furniture purchase. It can be said that Li Kailang completed two things without spending a penny.
Before going out, the most important thing has not been done yet!
"System, sign in!"
[Ding! The host has signed in for 20 days cumulatively, and the sign-in is successful! Obtain the following items! ]
[Skill Upgrade Card*1! Upgrade Card Fragments*2! Fishing Technique (Proficient)! Fishing Equipment*1 Set! Various Seasonings*1 Set! ]
"Oh my god, is today's sign-in so rich?"
Li Kailang smiled happily when he saw today's ear sign-in reward.
"Skill Upgrade Cards can finally be used for Carpentry (Proficient) this time."
The firearm has reached a proficient level, which is sufficient for Li Kailang to use. A higher level will not show any effect.
Li Kailang uses the Mauser M1932 submachine gun. Accuracy can be made up for by quantity. Besides, it’s not like they won’t appear again in the future.
Based on past experience, Li Kailang held the upgrade card and silently recited "Carpenter Upgrade", and a large amount of knowledge flooded into his mind.
【Ding! 】
[Carpentry (Mastery) has been upgraded to Carpentry (Proficient)]
"Okay, now I can finally make my own furniture!" Li Kailang was very happy.
Then look at the upgrade card fragments.
"What a pity. We have only collected 4 cards now. We still need one more to upgrade."
"But it won't be long until a few days later. It will be there when I sign in next time!"
Li Kailang gradually figured out the time to sign in and get upgrade card fragments. He would get one every ten days, and occasionally two.
It’s almost June 6th, and I’ll have collected all 10 tickets.
"I was worried about having nothing to do on the weekends, nothing to do for fun, now I have something to do!"
Li Kailang was very happy to receive the Fishing Technique (Proficient) and the Fishing Set.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen commonly used seasonings given away when signing in, enough for Li Kailang to use for a while.
In his previous life, he had seen many people fishing on videos, but he had never fished before. Having this skill was just right for him to pass the time.
Moreover, supplies are in short supply now. Even if you have money, you still need a ticket to buy fish. Now you can go fishing by yourself.
Of course, if you want to eat fish, the most important thing is to cook it in the right way.
Fish has a strong fishy smell, and the smell cannot be suppressed without a lot of oil and spices. During non-festivals, people basically boil fish in water, which has no taste.
But with the seasoning, there will be an extra dish on the table, and you don’t have to run out to buy seasoning.
Sha Zhu’s identity as a chef is not only due to his excellent cooking skills, but also due to the help of seasonings.
After checking the things he signed in, Li Kailang had an idea and entered the planting space.
Just like signing in, Li Kailang hasn't been to the planting space for 20 days. The crops inside have been mature for a long time, but they are still growing.
Looking at the bountiful harvest scene in the planting space, Li Kailang's mood improved a lot and he felt instantly refreshed!
"What a great harvest! What a great harvest!" Li Kailang kept chanting, and as soon as he thought about it, he started harvesting.
Soon, all the crops were harvested and stored in the warehouse.
The weight is a little more than last time.
The rice yield was 110 kilograms, the corn yield was 80 kilograms, the wheat yield was 80 kilograms, the barley yield was 100 kilograms, and the sorghum yield was 80 kilograms.
There were also 2000 kilograms of cabbage and white radish, and 200 kilograms of potatoes.
These are crops that were planted before and cannot be changed. They are a little heavier, but not much. It is mainly because the land limits their growth.
After that come the sweet potatoes, sunflowers, rapeseed, etc.
The sweet potato (yams) yield 5000 kilograms, which is a lot of weight but not outrageous. In high-yield areas, the yield can reach more than 6000 kilograms.
Sunflowers are harvested basically every six days. Li Kailang has harvested them three times. Including this time, he has stored up almost 6 kilograms of sunflower seeds.
Of course, the most important ones are oil crops such as rapeseed, peanuts and sesame.
Sesame matures every 10 days. Including this time, Li Kailang has harvested sesame three times, totaling 3 kilograms.
Peanuts mature every 15 days and have been harvested once before. Including this time, a total of 50 kilograms were harvested.
Rapeseed matures in 22 days, and this is Li Kailang’s first time harvesting rapeseed.
Soon, Li Kailang finished harvesting the rapeseed, harvesting a total of 25 kilograms of rapeseed.
Although these oil crops seem small in quantity, the problem remains the same as before.
Only three mu of land is used for planting, and the high yield per mu is achieved when the yield is not high, all thanks to the planting space.
[The detailed crop yield only appears once, and only the yield will appear later. ]
"When there are more oil crops, I can find someone to help me squeeze out some oil. Eating lard all the time is a bit greasy!"
Li Kailang's words were extremely "Versailles". Most people didn't live as well as he did, yet he still looked down on them.
Nowadays, a family consumes only 2.5 taels of gasoline per month, which would be used up in a day or two.
Yan Bugui's family would drip a few drops of oil on the dishes after cooking, which was considered as having some oil.
"We have harvested everything. Now all that's left is to plant the seeds. But we need to plan everything again this time. We can't do it the same way as before."
The crops are planted here and there in order to gain benefits when the planting space is upgraded.
But there is no clear plan and it seems a bit messy.
Li Kailang took advantage of this great harvest and planned to make new plans.
Except for the medicinal herbs and apple trees, all other crops in the space have been harvested.
Suddenly, the entire space became much emptier, and at a glance, it was all brown and yellow with a hint of black.
"After ten days, there will be more upgrade card fragments, and then we can get another 4 acres of land. This needs to be taken into consideration."
Li Kailang lowered his head and thought for a while, "10 days. 10 days."
An idea suddenly came to Li Kailang's mind and he clapped his hands.
"Oh, right? Why not just plant some crops that will mature in about 10 days? I'm just about to reach the next sign-in point, so I can get the upgrade card fragments."
"We'll make unified arrangements after the upgrade and see if signing in can give you some more crop seeds, but you won't get any benefits from the upgrade."
"Forget it. If I can't get it, then I can't get it. The next time the changes will be bigger, this won't make a big difference."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang searched the warehouse for crops that would mature in ten days.
"It seems that there is only cabbage. Corn and sesame, these three will mature in 10 days. There are not many sesame seeds, and they won't take up much land. Let's just change one."
"Then let's go with carrots and sorghum. These two only take 12 days. With the capacity of the planting space, they can be harvested two days earlier, so it won't affect anything."
"Okay, let's arrange it this way."
Li Kailang had an idea and planted all four crops.
"Done! Let's call it a day!" Li Kailang clapped his dust-free hands.
Then, he looked at the apple tree in the center of the planting space. The tree had matured a few days ago and was full of apples.
The ripe apples are bright red, like red lanterns hanging on the trees, and look very beautiful!
This is the first time that this apple tree has borne fruit, and the number is not large, only about 500.
Assuming that each piece weighs 200 grams, the output is about 200 kilograms, which is totally beyond the reach of Li Kailang alone.
Li Kailang picked an apple and washed it with spring water.
After taking a bite, the sweet and sour juice burst in the mouth, and a faint fragrance could be smelled. Compared with the apples he had eaten before, Li Kailang felt that the apple in his hand was so fresh and sweet!
Li Kailang couldn't help but finish it in just a few bites, still feeling unsatisfied, so he picked another one from the tree.
After a while, Li Kailang finally reacted after eating enough apples.
"Forget it, now I'm full and can't even have lunch." Li Kailang touched his bulging belly.
Looking at the apple tree, he thought about it and all the apples were harvested and put into the warehouse. Then Li Kailang left the planting space.
"While it's still early, buy all the dishes and everything, so you can go fishing in the afternoon."
Li Kailang was thinking about fishing, after all, it was his first time.
After going out, Li Kailang got on his bike and rode towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
On the way, Li Kailang thought again: "Oh, it's a good opportunity to redeem the rare tickets awarded by the leaders!"
The scarce tickets were the rewards given to him by several leaders last time. They were meat tickets, pastry tickets, candy tickets, and bean tickets. Li Kailang had never redeemed them.
"It's a rare trip, and I changed everything. I may not be able to change it next time!"
As the ring contained more and more things, Li Kailang had less and less need for things, and his visits to the supply and marketing cooperative gradually decreased.
Last weekend, Li Kailang lay at home all day without moving and did not even open the door.
Mr. Han thought something had happened to Li Kailang, so he rushed in and almost made a fool of himself.
"Cigarettes and alcohol are indispensable, and I have to buy some tea, as well as other miscellaneous items." Li Kailang thought one by one.
It didn't take long to ride to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's just past 9 o'clock now, and many people are flocking into the supply and marketing cooperative. It's also bustling outside, with crowds of people, and it's very lively.
"Oh my god, why are there so many people today! There weren't so many before!" Li Kailang looked at the crowd in front of him with some surprise.
At this time, the lady next to him saw Li Kailang riding a bicycle and kindly said:
"Young man, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Hearing this, Li Kailang thought for a while. Today was not an important festival, so he asked:
"Auntie, today is neither a festival nor a good day, why are there so many people?"
"Young man, have you forgotten that today is the end of the month!" said the old lady.
"So that's why, no wonder there are so many people." Li Kailang suddenly realized.
Many families have some tickets that have not been redeemed. If they are not redeemed today, tomorrow is June 6st and the tickets will be useless.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Li Kailang thanked.
"It's okay. By the way, comrade, do you have a partner? I see you look so young. I have a niece who is about your age. How about you two get to know each other?
"Well, Auntie, I already have a partner, so please forgive me!" Li Kailang politely refused.
"Is that so? That's a pity!" the old lady said regretfully.
Seeing Li Kailang riding his bike over, it was obvious that his family was not short of money and they wanted to find a rich husband for their niece.
Li Kailang hurriedly got on his bike and left. He almost got himself into trouble by asking a question. How could he be in big trouble!
"Huh? This is it?"
Li Kailang discovered a familiar figure wandering outside the supply and marketing cooperative, looking furtive, turning his head left and right to look around, very alert.
Li Kailang rode over and only then could he see the man's face clearly.
"Brother Liu!" Li Kailang was not sure if it was someone he knew, so he shouted.
That man was the black market money dealer Liu Lishun.
Hearing the shout, Liu Lishun immediately ran away!
Seeing Liu Lishun's panicked look, Li Kailang followed him on his bike.
Liu Lishun turned the corner into an alley and finally had time to glance at the person behind him.
"Damn, it's this bastard!" Liu Lishun cursed and waited for Li Kailang at the corner.
Li Kailang followed him and saw Liu Lishun waiting for him with his arms folded.
"Hey! Brother Liu, why are you running?"
"That's nonsense. There are so many people here. If I don't run and wait to be caught, won't I? It's not like you don't know what I do."
"Oh, I thought you were doing something bad! Aren't you selling tickets? How dare you come here?" Li Kailang asked.
After all, ticket reselling is a shameful thing, but Liu Lishun actually dared to come here openly.
"Nonsense, I'm here to resell tickets, otherwise why would I come here!"
"There are a lot of police officers and people from the street office outside, guarding there and maintaining order. How dare you come here?" Li Kailang asked doubtfully.
"What do you know? Fortune and wealth are sought through risk. This day only comes once. If I don't come, I will lose a lot of money."
"Besides, I dare to come here because I have my own way. You don't have to worry!" Liu Lishun said confidently and patted his chest twice.
"Oh! What's the way? Brother Liu, can you tell me about it?" Li Kailang suddenly became curious.
"Hey! Don't even think about it. This is my secret. I can't tell anyone about it. But what do you want from me?"
Liu Lishun quickly changed the subject. If he continued, he was afraid he would really tell others.
It just so happened that Li Kailang originally wanted to find him, and now that he had met him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"No big deal, I'm just short of some tickets, do you have any extra ones?"
"Yes! Yes! I'm in this business, how can there not be any? Aren't you doubting me?"
Liu Lishun said as he took out some tickets from his pocket, but he didn't take out the tickets for daily use.
Li Kailang is a big seller, and taking out those tickets is obviously a sign of contempt for him.
Li Kailang took the tickets and pulled out some of them, which were meat tickets, wine tickets, cloth tickets and tea tickets.
Of course, the most important thing is the tickets for bowls, plates, cups, etc.
"You bought so many tickets, you have to use them all today." Liu Lishun reminded, watching Li Kailang take a lot of tickets.
"What? Are you unhappy because you have too many tickets?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly.
"That's not the case. There are a lot of people here today. If you want to buy something, you'll have to wait in line for a long time. Don't let the item be sold out and the ticket be in your hand."
Compared with the small money, Liu Lishun didn't want to lose Li Kailang, his big enemy and big customer.
"That's true. I'll take less then." Li Kailang thought about it and agreed.
He is rich, but being rich doesn't mean he can spend money at will.
After choosing the tickets, Li Kailang took out 2 yuan and gave it to Liu Lishun.
"Okay, I'll go first!" After saying hello, Li Kailang got on his bike and left.
When we entered the supply and marketing cooperative, we were amazed at how big the scene was!
It was really a place with loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people.
The meaning is a bit exaggerated, but it's almost the same.
Li Kailang looked at the huge crowds of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, all squeezing together, and he knew how to get in.
Just by looking, there are people queuing in front of various stores, forming a long queue. There are really people everywhere.
"Comrade, give me 5 kilograms of flour first!"
"Comrade, cut some of that cloth for me."
"Comrade, please give me a bottle of Zephyr. Here are the drink tickets and money."
Various shouts were heard one after another, and even things that were usually out of stock were now available.
"Comrade, please line up and don't cut in line!" There was a policeman patrolling nearby.
"Okay, we still have to buy what we need to buy!"
Looking at the bustling line, Li Kailang had no choice but to queue up obediently. After all, all the goods were full.
If you don’t buy it today, you may not be able to get everything you need tomorrow, and the tickets will expire, which means you’ve spent money.
Time passed and it was noon before he knew it. Li Kailang walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, panting.
“Ha-ha ...
"Finally I bought everything!"
Li Kailang didn't want to stay here at all, so he packed his things and rushed back to the courtyard.
