Chapter 390: Second meeting with the above (3)

"So, is there some special substance in the soil that allows our crop seeds to germinate?" The secretary had a lot of questions, but fortunately he was asking this question to himself and had no intention of asking for an answer.

"Ms. Ye Nai, have you ever grown other staple crops besides corn?" Deputy Minister Su's secretary asked immediately.

"No, we were busy reclaiming wasteland in the early stages. We only started planting crops seriously during the spring plowing this year. There aren't many farmlands reclaimed, and I'm also busy. I don't have time to do planting experiments." Ye Na shook her head.

"Take us to have a look. There will most likely be participation of an expert group in the next meeting." Deputy Minister Cheng of the Logistics Department was a little impatient and was eager to see what the farmland looked like.

"Should I continue to stay in the barracks? It's a bit boring."

"Hold on for a few more days. Once the expert group has a decision, we will move you to another place. That will be a good time to test your abilities. The military camp is the safest place right now."

"Okay. Shall we go now?"

"Can I bring my teacup?"

"sure."

So, everyone held their tea cups in one hand, Yenna put away the awning tables, chairs and tea bar cart, and opened the portal.

Ye Na still went over first.

Everyone entered in the order they had before.

This time the landing point was chosen to be a large field planted with corn and soybeans. In order to prevent them from seeing several former nobles who were reclaiming land a few kilometers away, Yenne deliberately opened the teleportation portal at the other end of the farmland.

Earlier, after completing the harvest, Ye Nai turned the land again, and turned the remaining stubble into the soil. The mycelium quickly decomposed the organic matter, leaving only inorganic matter.

Yenna put out the awning and the long table. Not only did the table lamp provide light, she also turned on the night market lights that had been hanging on the awning's trellis but were rarely turned on at night.

Each one is 100 watts, and she hung five in different areas and connected them to a wire to ensure even lighting.

This opening naturally caught everyone's eyes.

"Good fellow, I didn't even notice you had a light hanging on your roof until you turned it on."

"It was hung up when I bought it, but I didn't use it because I didn't use it much at night. It was still a high-wattage solar power unit that cost a lot of money."

"I can see it's really bright."

"Wow, the land is turned over so well. Can we turn over the land right after the harvest?" someone exclaimed with admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, after two days of drying, we turned the soil over. We took advantage of the hot weather in the secret realm to dry the soil and nurse it until next year when we can start tilling the soil," Ye Nai explained.

"When our agricultural experts see such flat farmland lying vacant and waiting for rotation cultivation, they will have a lot of ideas. Maybe a new topic will arise, such as how to ensure continuous cultivation of soil that must be rotated for cultivation," another person laughed.

"There's no need for that. The terrain of the Dongling Secret Realm is a vast plain. There's enough land for us to leave it fallow and rotate it for farming." Ye Nai waved his hand, looking relaxed.

"Is such a large piece of farmland only planted with corn?" Deputy Minister Cheng of the Logistics Department walked up to Ye Nai.

"The only things grown naturally are corn and soybeans. Do you want to try boiled edamame and cherry tomatoes for comparison? I always grow tomatoes that can be used as both a vegetable and a fruit."

As Ye Nai spoke, she put out the awning, table and chairs again, then took out two large stainless steel basins and placed them on the table.

The basin is filled with spicy boiled edamame and cleanly picked cherry tomatoes, the kind sold on the branches in the market, bunched up in clusters, very tempting.

When they were taken out, everyone immediately noticed that the edamame had a weak energy reaction, while the cherry tomatoes were just normal fruits.

Finally, Ye Na took out a pack of tissue paper and a leaf bag to serve as a kitchen waste bag.

"Do you want to wash your hands? The ton barrels are outside." Ye Nai asked with a smile. Everyone just came back to their senses from the surprise of the food, subconsciously put down the teacups in their hands, and then looked in the direction of Ye Nai's finger, and a tall ton barrel water tower appeared a few meters away from the awning.

"You still have clean water?" Deputy Minister Fan looked surprised. After all, he knew very well that most of Ye Na's timeline was in another world. How much supplies did she prepare before setting off that can still be used now?

"Yes, I stocked up some water at the water plant before I left. I was using it alone, and there's still some water left." Ye Na nodded.

"Then the other supplies have been used up?" Deputy Minister Fan continued to ask.

"That's because they've been used up. All I have left are some disposable items. I've worn out all my clothes. The other world really consumes a lot of clothes. I've even resorted to buying fabrics from the locals and asking them to make clothes for me." Ye Na tilted her head slightly, a little helpless.

"Are there any remaining fabrics?" The eyes of the three people from the logistics department lit up.

"Yes. The rest, the whole ones, are all available."

"No, you are hoarding fabrics from other worlds as well?" someone asked in surprise.

"Stock up, take them to other places and sell them, it's all money." Ye Na answered as a matter of course.

"Then there must be a lot of currency stored in other worlds as well." Someone else immediately thought of this.

"That's right." Ye Na nodded repeatedly, "Do you want to change money? What's the exchange rate?"

"You two can chat slowly. I need to try how delicious the edamame is. Last time, I only got a small piece of corn distributed to our staff department, and I was reluctant to eat it."

Deputy Minister Su turned and walked out of the awning to wash her hands, followed closely by her secretary and staff.

As soon as she moved, the others couldn't sit still anymore and started washing their hands one after another.

Ye Na continued to take out disposable plates. She had stockpiled a lot of these disposable items.

So, when the hand-washing team came back, they saw two paper plates next to each of their tea cups.

At that moment, everyone stopped being polite and took out tissues to wipe their hands. Each person took a bunch of tomatoes, and the basin of cherry tomatoes was empty. Then they scooped a large spoonful of boiled edamame. The spicy aroma mixed with the faint energy aroma, bringing a wonderful complex aroma.

But after everyone tasted the boiled edamame, many of them were choking from the spiciness. It seemed that the seasoning Yenna used was a bit strong.

Ye Na, who was watching them eat, scratched his face, stood up, walked to the other end of the tea bar cart, took out a home soy milk maker and placed it on the table, and at the same time put down a large basin of soaking soybeans.

The soybeans are round and plump, and you can tell they are good beans at first glance. The bean fragrance is naturally mixed with the aroma of trace energy.

"Would you like a drink?" Ye Na asked.

"Come on, have a drink." Everyone responded.

"No one is allergic to soy milk, right?" Ye Na confirmed again.

"No, no, no." Everyone shook their heads quickly.

Captain Lin wanted to help, but Ye Nai asked him to take a rest while she did it herself. She plugged the soymilk maker's power cord into the outdoor power supply that powered the tea bar cart, scooped the beans into the machine, started the power, then took out disposable paper cups and a sugar jar and put them aside, waiting patiently.

Moreover, she refilled the empty tomatoes to relieve the spiciness for everyone.

Everyone was eating and drinking, and was very happy.

Each person was given a cup of freshly brewed soy milk. If it was too hot, they would put it aside. One after another, people wiped their hands, got up and walked to the edge of the field, grabbed a handful of soil to feel the water content, and smelled the scent of the soil.

When the staff officer of the Deputy Minister of Operations, Fan Zeyang, looked around, he was not surprised to see the open tent area and newly reclaimed land of several kilometers.

The main thing is that that area is really conspicuous in the eyes of the staff officer. The location that is suspected to be farmland is dark, as if there is a sunshade net commonly used in farmland for summer sun protection.
