Mo Qingyan's questioning of Chen Xin can only be regarded as a small episode,
because Qin Lan is not in the refuge relationship. Although it made Chen Xin
feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed, it did not cause any impact or
change.
Chen Xin washed hundreds of catties of fresh vegetables and handed them to Mo
Qingyan to chop them, then took the vegetables to the computer room and spread
them out on the shelf made yesterday.
These racks are very simple. They are just welded with a few steel pipes and
covered with layers of mesh. This was made by Chen Xin last night to
facilitate drying the vegetables today.
Put the cut vegetable silk yards on the gauze net and spread them out to
facilitate the evaporation of water. Chen Xin put these shelves on the hot
water pipes of the ground source heat pump.
"Is this all right? Will it not be roasted?" Mo Qingyan saw Chen Xin just put
the shelf on the water pipe, instead of directly putting the cut vegetables on
the water pipe as Chen Xin's mother said. I can't help but worry about whether
it won't dry.
Chen Xin shook his head and explained to Mo Qingyan: "Of course it is possible
to put it on the tube, but the utilization rate is somewhat low, and it is not
conducive to the evaporation of water vapor, plus the amount is a bit large,
so it will be better to bake it."
When Chen Xin said this, Mo Qingyan didn’t say much, she just asked, “Is that
the temperature enough? I remember that we used to cook dehydrated vegetables
in the oven at 80°C. On the warm water pipe, the temperature may not be
enough, right?"
"The temperature of the heating pipe exceeds 80°C, and the air temperature
above it is also close to 60°C. It is no problem to use it to dry vegetables."
Of course, Chen Xin has considered this problem, and has no concerns in this
regard: "And drying Dried fruits and vegetables are generally sufficient at a
temperature of about 60°C. In addition, if they are left open, the moisture
will evaporate quickly and will not dry out."
Although Chen Xin said this, Mo Qingyan still reached out and touched on the
heating pipes with anxiety, and indeed felt a bit hot, and the air above the
pipes was also hot, and she nodded with relief.
Although the shelves made by Chen Xin are multi-layered, a few hundred
kilograms of vegetables cannot be put on a few shelves, especially to ensure
adequate ventilation. Chen Xin cannot put too many vegetables on the gauze.
Almost after all the shelves were filled, there were more than half of the
vegetables left.
When Chen Xin saw this, he could only say to Mo Qingyan: "It seems that it can
only be dried in batches. This batch will be dried here first, and the rest
will be put on after this batch is almost dried. ."
"Do you want to put away the rest?" Mo Qingyan looked at the leftover
vegetables, worried that it would be bad if left alone.
Chen Xin thought for a while and said, "Just put it here, spread it out a
little, and flip it every few hours to avoid stagnant water. It won't be bad
for a day."
"All right, according to what you said." Mo Qingyan nodded, and piled up the
leftover vegetables in the corner of the computer room with Chen Xin.
Leaving the computer room, Mo Qingyan was about to go to the greenhouse, but
suddenly stopped and asked Chen Xin: "By the way, the sweet potatoes you
brought back with the ingredients are planned to be planted after the harvest
of this season's rice? It is said that cabbage and lettuce should be reduced
in the planting area, what do you plan to plant next?"
"Hmm..." When Mo Qingyan asked this question, Chen Xin pondered for a while,
and after thinking about it, he asked Mo Qingyan, "Is the sweet potato I
brought back last time ready for planting?"
"Okay, after you get it back, I will do the seedling cultivation. This one
month can already be planted." Mo Qingyan nodded, indicating that these sweet
potato seedlings can already be planted.
Chen Xin heard her saying this and made up his mind, so he said, "Since the
lettuce and cabbage have been harvested, this time I will only plant a quarter
of it, and leave a layer to grow sweet potatoes. As for For the remaining half
layer, you can see if you have any vegetables or fruits you want to eat, and
plant as many as you like, with more varieties, and the yield is enough for us
to eat."
"Is that so? It's okay, then I'll just plant it." Mo Qingyan did not object to
Chen Xin's decision, but confirmed to him: "Do you want more leafy vegetables
or fruits for the new vegetables? More kind?"
"Let’s have a variety of leaf vegetables. I remember that there are green
onions, garlic and coriander seeds. I also plant some of them. They can also
be used as seasonings when cooking." Chen Xin remembered that he hadn’t eaten
them for almost a year. When it comes to onions, garlic, and coriander, I
can't help but feel a little greedy.
Mo Qingyan also readily accepted Chen Xin’s proposal and nodded seriously and
said, “These things are to be planted, otherwise, the food will not taste
good! And the fish in the pool under the greenhouse are also raised. It’s been
so long, and it’s time to eat."
"If you don't say I have forgotten, did those fish spawn?" Chen Xin asked with
concern. He valued the fish in the greenhouse very much. At the beginning, Li
Wensheng specially asked for a mix of male and female. It is to breed new fry.
However, regarding this question, Mo Qingyan shook her head and said: "I
haven't seen spawning yet, maybe it's not the breeding period yet, but I don't
know how to raise fish. I need someone to ask about this. ."
"Okay, let's do this first, Long Niang, if you have any dishes you want to
eat, you can also plant it." Chen Xin didn't bother with this matter either.
Those fishes that are raised will eventually grow small fish, just wait.
Things to wait before eating.
After talking with Mo Qingyan, Chen Xin also planned to take a look at the
greenhouse, so he walked towards the greenhouse with her~www.mtlnovel.com~In
the greenhouse, the six layers of hydroponic planting layers still look
spectacular , And the group of swimming fish in the pool below your feet looks
very healthy. If it weren't just after harvesting, the hydroponic planting
layer was left with two vacant layers. It would look a bit regrettable. It is
like a planting factory in a science fiction.
After inspecting the various places in the greenhouse and the growth of the
various crops planted, what Chen Xinlai's greenhouse is most concerned about
is the group of young chickens that are kept in the breeding box.
These chicken cubs have grown up now, they are beginning to grow hairy, they
are considered chicks instead of chicks.
These chicks were originally taken care of by Qin Lan, but before Qin Lan
followed Chen Xin to the city, these chicks were also taken care of by Mo
Qingyan. Now it seems that they are all growing well. The hens are lying in
the breeding box. In the chicken coop that Qin Lan specially paved with straw,
it looked like there were eggs under her buttocks.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xin immediately opened the lid of the breeding tank
with enthusiasm, intending to reach in and touch the eggs.
However, before Chen Xin's hand reached in, Mo Qingyan on the side slapped his
hand: "Don't move! This egg is specially set aside by me to hatch the chicks!"
