Chapter 96 Fertilization
Su Nonglin is tall and handsome, with black hair and a straight nose like a sculpture. He walks with dignity, as if he is some important figure.
Of course, this is just the effect of optical camouflage. In Xiaozhen's eyes after removing the optical filter, he is just a tree.
A tree in the physical sense.
A tree that moves and walks.
He had seen him in that Roland Fortress bar before.
"Aren't you the one who was taken to the bar by Miss Bai Yinshuang last time? The brother of Yan Zhu whom we support." Su Nonglin said with a smile.
"So you are a courier." Xiao Zhen said.
Because he was almost scammed by an interstellar scammer, Xiao Zhen decided to find someone to vent his grief over his broken dream of becoming rich overnight. He first complained to the Scented Fruit Farm on the planet . However, the farm staff showed the recorded video before delivery, showing the whole process of carefully screening and filtering the soil until it was sealed.
The farm staff said that before it was handed over to Star Express, the box was strictly tested and completely sealed. The image before Xiaozhen opened the box showed that the box had been secretly opened before signing.
"It's the courier's fault." The farm workers spoke in a metal voice tube, echoing in the standard galactic language. They are a kind of giant red ants, and they wear special metal voice tubes when communicating with Homo sapiens.
After failing to file a complaint, Xiao Zhen turned her attention to the courier company. This Star Express company also pushed the issue layer by layer, and finally directly pushed it to the courier subcontracting station in the local area.
The person who came out to receive us now was Su Nonglin, the stationmaster of the subcontracted station in the city and the only courier.
Without further ado, Xiao Zhen seriously explained his experience and strongly demanded that the local express company give him an explanation.
"Ah, this..." Su Nonglin's two arms rubbed against each other.
He turned around and looked at his desk for a while, then clicked on the screen and entered a string of numbers, showing Xiao Zhen their delivery records. "Look!"
"...You eat your lunch sitting on a delivery box?"
"I'm not asking you to look at me, I'm asking you to look at my bottom." Su Nonglin pointed to the bottom of the screen. "Look, this box had already been opened when it was received at our station."
"You ate your lunch sitting on my delivery box!"
"That's not it! Your box was already opened when it arrived at our site."
"You ate your lunch sitting on my delivery box. I want to complain!"
“…”
After some friendly communication, Su Nonglin waved a tree branch and said that it was not the site's responsibility that the box was opened and stuffed with fraudulent props. "There must have been a mistake in the transportation process."
"I went to your head office and was passed around from one level to another until I got here."
"But you see, this is really not our site's responsibility."
"It was caused by your improper storage during transportation." Xiao Zhen said, "This is your fault. And you ate your lunch on my delivery box!!"
"..." Su Nonglin's two branches drooped helplessly, and then he began to complain to Xiao Zhen, his tone full of resentment from the grassroots employees, "The subcontracted merchant ships under the head office are already a mess. When something goes wrong, the head office passes the buck, and in the end, it's the grassroots sub-stations like us who suffer the most. You know what? You're still lucky, at least the goods are intact. The customers who came to cause trouble last week were really miserable."
"What's wrong?"
"The merchant ship carrying his goods encountered pirates during the voyage, and half of the goods on the ship were robbed." Su Nonglin spread his hands, "He didn't insure it, so the most he can pay is the freight. Last time he came, he almost smashed my place. What can I do?"
"Is that so... Is it very risky to deliver goods on this route now?"
"The management of our subcontracted merchant ships is very chaotic. That's why Mr. Han has good business," said Su Nonglin. "Ordering from Mr. Han is expensive, but at least the goods can be delivered to you intact, and the risk is much less than direct express delivery."
"Why is the risk lower on Boss Han's side?"
"Because Boss Han has his own merchant ship."
"He has a ship? This profiteer is really rich."
"Well, so if you want to place an order safely, I suggest you contact Boss Han directly."
After learning about the local transportation conditions, Su Nonglin finally offered to give Xiaozhen a gift as an apology.
He took out a box and handed it to Xiaozhen.
"What's this?"
"It's a very popular pet game in the Milky Way now." Su Nonglin said, "Give it to you as an apology."
"Okay, thank you."
Before leaving, Xiao Zhen said to Su Nonglin: "I have one last request."
"What?"
Xiao Zhen said: "Please say it again, 'I am Groot'."
"I'm Groot?"
"Hmm." Xiao Zhen touched his chin, "It has that taste."
Captain Madara said, "What is this?"
"It's an apology gift from the courier." Xiao Zhen opened the box and a holographic advertisement popped out.
"The most anticipated pet raising game in the galaxy!! Egg Baby is here...
No matter what race you are, egg cultivation will bring you great fun.
Whether you are a juvenile, an adult or an old man, Egg Baby is your best choice! ”
There was an egg in the box. Xiao Zhen picked it up and looked at it. It looked like an egg.
"I've heard of this game." Captain Ban said, "If you buy eggs from this toy company, you can raise different pets at random. It is indeed very popular in the galaxy now."
"I think we have enough pets in our house."
"There's only one stupid cat in the house now!" said the chicken. "Aren't you curious about what this egg will hatch?"
"I guess it must be another blind box promotion with random mysterious hidden items in the eggs."
"That's right!! But if you can hatch a mysterious hidden pet, you can sell it for a lot of money!!"
"Oh? Are the prices very high now?"
Captain Ban clicked the screen and showed Xiao Zhen the local alien second-hand market. "Look, this is the price of Egg Baby among the aliens in this city. The prices of many rare models have been driven up to the sky. Look at this, even the price of a regular five-star lizard is very high. Xiao Zhen, let's raise one!"
"Why do you think that giving us something that even the poor courier doesn't want will work like a miracle?"
"What if?"
"Aha, do you think we're getting any luck?"
"But think about it, we can actually be friends with a walking supervisory eye, and it's our roommate, and we are still alive and well now, isn't this a miracle?"
“…”
Xiao Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally he threw the egg to Captain Madara. "I'm not in the mood to raise it now, you can take it."
Captain Madara took the pet egg with his wings and happily carried it into his chicken coop villa.
Xiao Zhen's attention was still on his citron fruit farm. He worked diligently and quickly to replace the soil, and then prepared to apply special fertilizer for citron fruit.
The moment he opened the box, the stench of fertilizer almost made Xiao Zhen faint on the spot. The smell was like the stench of indescribable rotten things that had accumulated for ten thousand years. He believed that this smell would definitely kill all the flies and cockroaches on this planet.
"Why is it so smelly!!" Xiaozhen complained to Mr. Cat.
Mr. Cat said, "Have you not read about the history of the native cultivation of scented fruits in Murphysun? Those ants piled up food scraps underground to rot, and that piece of land would grow the best scented fruits next year. These fertilizers are nutrients fermented by ants from rotten food, so of course they stink."
If this continues, Xiaozhen believes that before she is suffocated to death, she will be beaten to death on the spot by An Yuan who comes looking for the smell.
So Xiao Zhen bought a large amount of high-efficiency alien deodorant and sprayed it in the garden. She also directed the clay people to dig ditches under the soil. In the middle of the night, they secretly transported fertilizer into the ditches, quickly filled them with soil, and then spread a thick layer of charcoal on the soil.
In addition to physical deodorization, Xiao Zhen also asked the clay people to plant a large circle of evening primrose around the scented fruit. After several deodorization efforts, Xiao Zhen's tests showed that the odor factor of the fertilizer was reduced to the lowest level, and the local Homo sapiens could hardly smell it.
And thanks to his and the clay people's unremitting efforts day and night, the leaves of the fragrant fruit bushes began to turn green, the stems stood upright again, the shriveled fruits became plump, and the farm was full of vitality again.
Xiao Zhen thought, maybe he could really have a great harvest.
Yan Zhu passed by Captain Ban's chicken coop villa and vaguely saw an egg on the cushion in the small house. Yan Zhu squatted down and took a closer look. She turned around and shouted, "Captain Ban laid an egg!!!"
