Chapter 173 Well Driller
But this kind of seed doesn't mean that the base doesn't care about it after it's sold.
The person who buys the seeds must be a person in the base, has an ID card, and the purchase record must also be synchronized to the ID card.
The growth cycle of the new type of seeds is shorter. Rice and wheat are basically matured and harvested in four months.
Corn, sweet potato, and sorghum are almost two months old.
As for the potatoes, they can be harvested in a month.
As for the output, the base has also been thoroughly studied.
All those who bought the seeds had to hand over 30% of the harvest to the base after the various crops matured, and the rest was their own.
This approach is somewhat similar to decades ago, where farmers need to pay public grain.
In the past, Su Nian never thought that he would be able to experience this kind of system for himself in this life.
There is a sense of novelty, and I can understand why the base did this.
After all, there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters now, and the base has to support a lot of people, so we must find a way to store more food to face future difficulties.
After Feng Xiuli listened to this, she kept silent and her expression was very serious. Presumably, she must be thinking in her heart whether farming is worthwhile.
Seeing that Feng Xiuli was silent, Su Nian and the others also remained silent.
After a while, Feng Xiuli came back to her senses, with a determined face, "I want to try!"
Wang Dacheng immediately raised his hands in agreement, "I agree!"
Feng Xiuli found the staff, and the first question she asked was not about seeds, but about water sources.
"We want to plant the land, where do we get water for irrigation?"
The attitude of the staff was very good, and they smiled and asked, "Where do you live now?"
"It's at No. 348 Xingfu Street. It's a big yard."
The staff typed on the computer, and after confirming the address, they continued, "Groundwater can be tapped in your place. You can dig a well first, so that not only can you irrigate the land, but it will also be convenient for you to use water yourself."
After hearing the staff's last words, Feng Xiuli knew that they were responsible for the cost of digging the well.
"What about the pests? Do I need to buy pesticides?" Feng Xiuli asked again.
The staff answered patiently, "No need, the new crops do not suffer from pests.
, if you want to get more food, you can buy nutrient solution. "
You don't need to ask to know that the nutrient solution is definitely not cheap, and it is unknown how much it can increase production.
Feng Xiuli was not an impulsive person, and she didn't need to make up her mind right away. After the inquiry, Feng Xiuli led them out of the seed shop.
Back in the car, Feng Xiuli said, "Let's go to the well-drilling team first to drill the well, otherwise there will be problems with draft and water.
As for the matter of farming, I will discuss it with everyone after I go back. "
"Okay! I listen to you."
As Wang Dacheng said, he started the car directly.
Su Nian looked at Wang Dacheng, then at Feng Xiuli.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but she always feels that Wang Dacheng seems to be a bit different to Feng Xiuli.
Before Su Nian could see why, the car stopped again.
The well-drilling team does not have a store, and when you enter the gate, you will find a large yard with a lot of electric tricycles, and each car is equipped with well-drilling tools and water pipes.
As soon as they entered the yard, someone came up and asked if they wanted to dig a well.
When Feng Xiuli was talking to that person, Su Nian noticed that there were other people looking at him with complicated expressions.
Su Nian also heard someone whispering, "Why did he get ahead!"
Someone nearby answered in a low voice, "Who made him sharp-eyed and quick-footed! Let's continue to wait!"
"Wait! There were so many people who came yesterday, many of the vacant houses and yards in the base have been rented out, and there are many people who need to dig wells! You are afraid that there will be no work to do!"
Listening to their whispered discussions, Su Nian finally understood what was going on.
These people are all from the well drilling team, the cars are parked in the yard, and the people are waiting at the door.
When people come in, it depends on who has sharp eyes and quick feet, and can receive this guest.
This is the real ability to eat!
Not only relying on the ability to drill wells, but also having a clear eye and a quick foot, and being able to speak well.
Maybe some people just come in to inquire, and they don't really want to dig a well!
At that time, it depends on the eloquence of the well digger!
But now the well digger doesn't have to bother, because Feng Xiuli is a well-driller who sincerely wants to dig a well.
Well's.
"How do you charge for drilling wells?"
"The fee is charged by the meter, and there are two contribution points per meter, depending on how deep the well you drill."
"Who's going to get the water pipes? Where's the water pump?"
"Looking at what you said, you used it, of course you did it!"
Feng Xiuli was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that this person was telling the truth.
Let alone now, even before the end of the world, these things have to be bought with their own money.
"That price..."
"Water pipes are not expensive. One meter is one contribution point. The water pump depends on your own choice. Generally, you can buy it for 20 contribution points. If you want a better one, you can buy it at any price."
Listening to the well digger's words, Feng Xiuli was also calculating in her heart.
Calculated in this way, she doesn't know if the remaining contribution points in her card are enough or not!
Su Nian had been listening by the side without saying a word, so he said at this moment, "Do you have a water pump here? Can you let us have a look first?"
"Of course! Let's go, I'll take you into the house to have a look!"
As they walked in, Su Nian asked Jing Mo in a low voice, "Can you carry a water pump?"
"meeting!"
Jing Mo answered in the affirmative, Su Nian just glanced at him in surprise, "Have you used a water pump before?"
Could it be that the people in Interstellar also pump water?
"No! But there is nothing I don't understand about mechanics. I have read all the books you collected on this subject."
Su Nian, "!!!"
Although she did see that Jing Mo often reads books, she never thought that Jing Mo actually gets what he sees!
Before Su Nian recovered from the shock, they had already entered the house.
"Our water pumps are all here, and they are available at all prices. May I introduce them to you?"
Jing Mo waved his hand, "No need."
With that said, Jing Mo stepped forward to take a look by himself.
After looking around, Jing Mo pointed to one, "I want this, thirty contribution points, right?"
The well digger didn't expect Jingmo to choose so quickly, and after a moment of stunned, he nodded, "Yes!"
"How to pay the bill?"
"Swipe...swipe your ID card!"
Su Nian walked quickly to the counter, took out his ID card, and directly swiped the card to buy.
Feng Xiuli and Wang Dacheng were stunned at this fast speed.
