The planting method of Snow Fruit is not complicated. Cut the fruit open, and the black seeds inside are the seeds.
There's no need to raise seedlings in advance.
Dig a hole in the soil, put one seed in it, then cover it with a thin layer of soil, water it a little, and then you don't need to take care of it anymore.
Looking at this planting method, Liu Ruyan could only use four words to describe it - simple and crude.
And all of this is for outdoor planting.
If it were other seeds, they would probably remain the same as when they were put into the soil and would never germinate in this lifetime.
But Snow Fruit...
Liu Ruyan wouldn't comment on something she hadn't seen with her own eyes.
The Snow Fruit that Kong Rui gave before was cut open by Liu Ruyan and put in her space. Now it could just be taken out and used.
Liu Ruyan picked out the seeds one by one with a toothpick and put them in a white plate.
Just looking at the black seeds in the plate, they were somewhat like the seeds of pitaya.
However, they were a bit smaller than the seeds of pitaya.
Liu Ruyan had just about picked out the seeds when she heard the sound of the door opening.
Liu Ruyan stood up and opened the bedroom door. She saw Zhang Yuan carrying a bag of soil and walking in.
"Why did you bring so much up?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.
The bag was not small. When it was filled with soil and stood upright on the ground, it was almost as high as Zhang Yuan's chest.
Zhang Yuan put the bag on the ground. "It's not much. Since I've dug it, I might as well dig more. It will surely come in handy in the future."
Hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Liu Ruyan also thought it made sense. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Zhang Yuan ask again, "Do you have any more bags? Give me two more. I've already dug out the soil. It would be a waste if I didn't bring it up."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan had no other choice but to take out the bags and give them to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan went back and forth two more times and brought up two big bags full of soil.
Looking at so much soil, Liu Ruyan took out some more logistics boxes from her space.
When Liu Ruyan hoarded supplies before, she used quite a lot of logistics boxes for the convenience of packing.
Now that things could be directly taken out and put in the space, the logistics boxes could be taken out for other uses.
The two of them divided the soil and put it into the logistics boxes respectively. They filled six boxes altogether, which was really quite a lot.
Liu Ruyan turned around and went into the bedroom, then brought out the plate with the seeds.
The two of them squatted in front of the logistics boxes, used their fingers to make a hole in the soil, and put two seeds in each hole.
Finally, they sprinkled a thin layer of soil on top and watered it.
The temperature in the room was actually not much different from that outdoors. Not long after the water was poured in, the soil became as hard as a rock.
Liu Ruyan tapped it with her finger. "What's the difference between this and ice? Can it really grow?"
Zhang Yuan didn't care much. "Anyway, we don't need to take good care of it. Whether it can grow or not depends on itself."
That was true. Liu Ruyan nodded. "Then let's go back to the bedroom!"
Even though their bodies were more resistant to the cold than before, who would be willing to stay outside in the cold when they could stay in the warm bedroom?
The two of them went into the bedroom to have a meal and watch TV series, and neither of them thought about the Snow Fruit anymore.
When Zhang Yuan left, Liu Ruyan only saw him off at the door. After watching him leave, she quickly closed the bedroom door and went to bed.
It wasn't until the next morning, after finishing the training and taking a bath, that Liu Ruyan remembered the Snow Fruit.
Just as she walked out of the bedroom, Liu Ruyan was stunned.
It was already past ten o'clock. The curtain in the living room was open, and only a layer of gauze curtain was drawn. The light shone in, and the situation in the living room could be clearly seen.
It could be seen that in the six logistics boxes filled with soil, white seedlings had already grown.
Yes, that's right, they were white seedlings.
Liu Ruyan casually closed the bedroom door and then walked quickly towards the logistics boxes. She squatted down to take a closer look.
The shape of each seedling was somewhat similar to the branches of pine and cypress, but the color was all white.
If it weren't for the contrast of the color of the soil, and if they grew in the snow, probably no one would notice them.
Liu Ruyan stretched out her hand to measure it. It had only been one night, and they had already grown to the height of a palm.
What's the growth rate?
Was it originally growing so fast, or was it because of the nutrient solution that had been poured?
Liu Ruyan only struggled with this question for a moment and then put it aside.
It didn't matter why it grew so fast. What mattered was that, judging from the current situation, it could indeed be picked in 20 days.
Liu Ruyan didn't know exactly how many people in the base knew about Snow Fruit, but she thought the number should be small.
If they took advantage of the present to plant more, then 20 days later, selling the ripe Snow Fruit to the base should be able to make a profit.
After that, the Snow Fruit that grew out could be kept for themselves to eat.
While Liu Ruyan was calculating like this, she heard the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock.
She turned her head to look at the door and saw Zhang Yuan opening the door and walking in.
Seeing Liu Ruyan squatting beside the logistics boxes, Zhang Yuan smiled. "I guessed that you would definitely come out to take a look."
"Yes, you guessed right. Come here quickly!"
Zhang Yuan walked up quickly, squatted down just like Liu Ruyan did.
The two of them stared at the Snow Fruit for quite a while like this, and then Liu Ruyan told Zhang Yuan what she had just thought.
Zhang Yuan had no objections to this. "Then should we go out and get more soil back?"
Liu Ruyan nodded. "We should indeed go out. It's not easy to operate inside the base. Let's go outside the base!"
After the two of them discussed it, Liu Ruyan quickly went to change her clothes.
There was everything in her space, so naturally, she didn't need to bring anything. The two of them then went downstairs.
This time, finally, the door of the east household on the first floor didn't open again.
When going out of the base this time, the newly applied ID cards were used.
At the gate of the base, there was an additional card swiping machine on each side. Everyone in the car had to swipe their cards every time they entered or exited.
After successfully leaving the base, Zhang Yuan drove towards a deserted place.
When he thought it was about right, he stopped the car.
The two of them got out of the car. Zhang Yuan took out two military spades and handed one of them to Liu Ruyan.
"Use this one. It's easier to use."
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. She took the military spade and started shoveling snow.
It seemed that there was no difference from the military spade in her space, but after actually using it, Liu Ruyan found the difference.
She didn't know what material this military spade was made of. It was very light in the hand but extremely sharp.
Shoveling snow was like shoveling tofu. Even when shoveling the hard ground, it wasn't much more difficult than shoveling tofu.
No wonder Zhang Yuan dug so much soil in such a short time yesterday. So this was the reason!
Liu Ruyan took out the logistics boxes and put them aside, and directly put the shoveled soil into them.
When a box was full, she put it away and took out a new empty box.
