When I heard about it, I thought it was possible and I was quite interested in it.

After the stove was built and dried, Wen's mother prepared a variety of vegetables to make dehydrated vegetables, and he also called the people from the kitchen team to come over and communicate.

Communication is a beautified term, but it actually means learning.

The people in the kitchen team were also willing, and the quartermaster even took part in the experiment himself, leading them and Wen's mother to conduct experiments again and again. After spending more than half a month, they finally produced a batch of dehydrated vegetables with perfect appearance.

Not burnt or mushy, just rinse with boiling water and the finished product will taste not as good as fresh vegetables, but it is not much worse.

Especially green onions, which have a strong onion aroma.

The quartermaster took a sip of the scallion and egg soup, smacked his lips, and gave a fair evaluation.

“This tastes good.”

"Let me try it."

The squad leader of the kitchen team was also a man of action. Before he finished speaking, he snatched the bowl from the quartermaster's hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Then, he silently handed the bowl to the soldier who was watching eagerly beside him.

Then, Yi Chichi, who had stopped working to take care of the baby because Wen Yi woke up, watched a bowl turn around in their hands and become an empty bowl, and then poured a basin of cold water on their smiling faces.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Although the appearance of dehydrated vegetables is perfect, how to preserve them is a big problem."

After tasting the dehydrated vegetables, everyone was surprised and ready to cheer, but when they heard her words, they were stunned for a while, and then they realized the environment at sea.

There was really no dry time on the deck.

When seawater splashes onto the deck and is dried by the strong sun, it will appear as salt crystals.

Inside the cabin...

In fact, the situation is not much better.

This is also the reason why people who come back from a trip to the sea always go to the beach to sunbathe.

Because it is too humid, it is extremely normal to get crotch sores and scabies.

In such an environment, no matter how dry the vegetables are, they cannot be preserved for a long time.

Then, a group of people looked at each other.

After a while, they all looked at Yi Chichi, "Sister-in-law (sister-in-law), do you have any good ideas?"

Yi Chichi, “…”

That’s a really good question.

There must be a way.

But none of them are suitable for the marine environment, and neither dehumidifier charcoal nor bamboo charcoal is suitable.

Only the seal is suitable.

With this in mind, she said, "Keep it dry and airtight. If you can do these two things, it will be preserved."

The quartermaster and the others, "..."

There is actually no difference between saying this and not saying it.

But "the can is sealed."

This is true.

The best sealed food nowadays is canned food, especially canned fruit, which can be sealed and kept for half a year without any problem.

"The sealing is reliable, but the volume and storage are not reliable. Also, the cost is too high. It's too expensive to use it to store dehydrated vegetables."

Even if glass bottles can be reused, the cost is high.

The key point is that they don’t have enough money to bear this expense.

"My suggestion would be to seal it with plastic if possible..."

The quartermaster's eyes lit up. "If you're talking about plastic, then I have a solution."

"ah?"

Yi Chichi was shocked and was about to ask for details when the quartermaster turned around excitedly and ran out, "Follow me, we're going to dehydrate the vegetables."

As for plastic products, he can contact them.

Hearing the quartermaster's call, the squad leader and his men immediately followed and disappeared from the sight of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a moment.

Wen's mother asked, "...they just left like that?"

"Let's go!"

Wen Yi followed with an "ah", as if in response.

When Wen's mother saw how cute he was, she was in a good mood and came over to play the hide-and-seek game with him for a while, then she started to worry.

"We dried so many vegetables, but the quartermaster and his men didn't take them away. How are we going to finish them all?"

"Wait until Wen Shi comes back and ask him if he wants to be sent to the kitchen team."

If that doesn’t work, the neighbors can send some to you. Dried vegetables are okay to eat occasionally, but I can’t eat them every meal.

This is a huge amount, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden grow fast, so there is no shortage of fresh vegetables at home.

Therefore, it is better to deal with it if it can be dealt with.

Wen's mother said "oh", packed the dried vegetables, and when Wen came home in the evening, she threw the problem to him.

This was also decisive. I couldn't wait until the next day. After dinner, I went out with vegetables in one hand and the baby in the other.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth. Ji Jian, who was squatting in the yard with a bowl in his hand, eating and admiring the moon, turned around after hearing the noise coming from next door.

Then, she saw Wen Shi, looking so confident and confident, with both hands full, and wondered, "Comrade Wen, what are you doing holding the baby?"

It's dark now. Shouldn't you give the baby a bath and let him sleep at this time? Why are you still taking him out?

"I'm going to the cafeteria."

Wen Shiren walked out, then stepped back and stood in front of the hibiscus fence and said, "Sister-in-law, Lao Lin will be back tomorrow."

Ji Jian perked up, "What time will we arrive at the port?"

"About ten in the morning."

Ji Jian's excitement calmed down. She was at work at this time and couldn't pick anyone up.

"Let him go home by himself."

You are an old married couple, there is no need to be pretentious.

Wen Shi nodded, said something to her, and left with the baby in his arms.

As soon as he left, Ji Jian rushed in and the first thing he said was -

"Auntie, when you go to the market to buy meat tomorrow, can you bring some back for me?"

"What's wrong with that? Just sign up and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Ji Jian had to go to work in the morning. The market and her workplace were in two different directions, and the distance was a bit far. Wen's mother was used to taking her there, so she didn't refuse and agreed immediately.

Then, Ji Jian ordered two pounds of pork, one pound of pork liver and twenty sea duck eggs.

The sea duck eggs on the island are a specialty. The yolk is bright red and oily, and the texture is sticky and sandy. It melts in your mouth without any taste.

The key is freshness.

The quantity is small, so it’s hard to say whether we can catch up.

Ji Jian also knew this, so she added, "If you can buy it, buy it. If you can't, forget it."

"good."

So Ji Jian took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to Wen's mother.

"That's all I have. If it's not enough, please help me fill it up first. I'll make up for it when I get my salary tomorrow."

"No rush."

Wen's mother took the money and put it in her pocket, then took a chair for her to sit on. Seeing that there was not much food in her bowl, she turned to the kitchen and scooped two large spoonfuls of meat sauce for her.

"Where's Brother Yuanchu?"

Ji Jian didn't bother to be polite with her. After thanking her, she took the meat sauce and said, "I'm watching TV with Zhou Zhou and the others at Sister Guan's house."

Yi Chichi became interested, "What's on the TV at my sister-in-law's house?"

She has never watched TV since she came to this age.

"have no idea."

Ji Jian was speechless. "I go to work every day, and even when I have a break, I have to be busy at home. If it weren't for Yuanchu and the others saying that Guan's family bought a TV, I wouldn't have known about it. You stay at home every day, so why don't you go over and take a look when you have nothing to do?"

Yi Chichi said, "...To be honest, I feel a little uneasy about my aunt's family."

"Why?"

Ji Jian and Wen's mother were confused. Yi Chichi touched his nose and said rather embarrassedly, "When Xingxing was filling out her application, I gave her some small suggestions."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingxing worked hard and actually passed the exam.

Ji Jian's eyes suddenly widened. "Did you instigate Xingxing to go to Chang'an to study at university?"

"I didn't instigate it, I just made some small suggestions."

The word "incite" is too harsh. Xi'an Jiaotong University will be famous even in later generations. If Xingxing wants to realize her ideals and goals, this university is the perfect choice. (End of this chapter)
