Chapter 204: Nutrient Solution
Deng Qiqi smiled and said, "Then we will wait for you at home."
Yao Ran nodded, then went inside to tidy her bed and freshen up before having a simple breakfast.
When she arrived at unit 2001, Long Yu was also there. Seeing her coming, he stood and offered her his seat. Sitting down on the stools, Yao Ran inspected the yellowing potato plants.
"They are ready to harvest." She said.
Jia Xiang and Huang Qian were excited when they heard what she said. They stood up at the same time, and Jia Xiang said, "Great!"
Huang Qian said, "I will get the shovel!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Seeing their excitement, Yao Ran chuckled and showed them how to harvest the potatoes without damaging them. It took them thirty minutes to harvest everything.
Shi Xuan picked up a potato and said with delight, "This one is bigger than my hand. It must weigh more than half a kilogram."
Huang Qian grabbed a larger potato, comparing it to his face, and said, "Look at this. It's bigger than my face!"
After they packed the harvested potatoes into sacks, Yao Ran asked, "Do you want to replant them?"
Huang Qian responded, "Yes! We must grow more potatoes while we can."
Their good mood was contagious, and Yao Ran also felt happy. She nodded and said, "Alright. Then let's pick some potatoes as seedlings."
Following her instructions, they selected potatoes for seedlings. Shi Xuan then took a few potatoes and went to make breakfast.
Half an hour later, he returned with a plate of potato pancakes. Looking at them, Huang Qian said, "They look delicious."
After listening to his explanation, Long Yu said, "That makes sense. We can still harvest a decent amount of potatoes even without this special nutrient solution. I doubt many survivors will exchange for it, and maybe the government just wants to give it a try to see if it can help solve the food shortage."
The others nodded in agreement at his reasoning.
After a moment of silence, Quan Yuanwei looked at them and asked, "Do you guys want to go to the trading center to exchange for the nutrient solution?"
Yao Ran, curious about the nutrient solution, nodded and said, "I will go and get a bottle to try."
Since she was going, Long Yu naturally said, "I will go with her."
Shi Xuan and the others had just harvested more than a hundred kilograms of potatoes, so they decided to get a bottle of the nutrient solution to try it out.
Seeing that everyone wanted to go, Quan Yuanwei said, "A Yun and Brother Hao already exchanged the nutrient solution yesterday, so they won't go today. If you all want to go, I'd like to join you."
Long Yu nodded, "Sure. Let's go together."
After finishing their discussion, Long Yu and Yao Ran went back to get their backpacks and weapons. Five minutes later, they set off for the trading center.
Along the way, they noticed many people heading in the same direction. Observing this, Yao Ran remarked, "Looks like the government released the news to the public."
Quan Yuanwei replied, "Yes, they just announced it this morning."
Arriving at the trading center, Yao Ran saw a lot of people waiting in line by a tent. While she observed the crowd, Quan Yuanwei said, "We need to queue up over there."
Noticing the long line in front of the tent, Huang Qian groaned and muttered, "So many people. I think we will have to wait in line for a few hours again."
Shi Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go. The sooner we line up, the sooner we can get
back."
