"for you!"
As soon as she stuffed the fruit into his hands, she fled.
Behind me, a man's low laughter could be heard.
It had been a while since she heard him laugh, and Lin Yiwan's mood couldn't help but brighten up.
Just then, bubbles began to gurgle in the pot.
Lin Yiwan opened the pot and found that it was boiling water, but she quickly realized that she wanted to have noodles for dinner.
The rations Xie Lin brought back yesterday included a bag of flour, cornmeal, sweet potatoes, and rice.
The climate in Jiushi is arid, and the main food crops are wheat and corn. There is almost no rice, which can only be transported from other places. Ordinary families can only eat it during festivals or when they are sick.
Lin Yiwan follows the local customs and eats noodles with them.
Take out the corn flour, pour it into a clean basin, add a little white flour and a little alkaline noodles.
Holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, she poured boiling water into the dough while stirring it until some of the flour became gelatinized, then she began to knead the dough.
Xie Lin was still nailing wooden boards in the yard.
I couldn't tell what it was at first, but as the wooden boards were put together piece by piece, the outline of a cupboard emerged.
Lin Yiwan was kneading the dough, her eyes unconsciously falling on him.
The man's movements were very skillful. He didn't know when the shaved material had been turned into a cupboard in no time in his hands.
When Lin Yiwan put the steamed bread into the pot to steam, Xie Linxiao had already got the paint and started painting the cupboard.
The paint is the color of natural wood, and the painted areas look like they are covered with a thin layer of amber, with a rustic luster.
After he finished painting, Lin Yiwan had also prepared dinner.
The dishes for dinner were also simple, a green vegetable, a steamed egg, and a dish of meat sauce.
Although there is little meat, it is considered pretty good considering the harsh environment in the northwest.
The soldiers in the army usually eat corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the dishes are basically based on potatoes, cabbage and radishes.
Each person can get a little meat every month, but most of it is usually used to stew.
I am quite lacking in protein such as eggs, and I usually rely on soybeans to supplement protein.
The troops also raise pigs and grow vegetables to be self-sufficient, but these pigs can also be slaughtered during festivals to improve the food.
It's not that the army doesn't want to raise more pigs. It's mainly because people in this era are not well fed and vegetation is scarce. Where is the extra food to raise more pigs?
No matter what, there is still a severe shortage of food!
This is also a problem that the Agricultural Science Institute and the Agricultural Reclamation Corps urgently need to solve.
Reclaim more land and increase the per-acre yield of existing varieties.
The dinner was simple, but Xie Lin still ate it with gusto.
He took a few bites of each steamed bun, and soon he had eaten half of the whole plate of steamed buns.
Lin Yiwan eats slowly and doesn't eat much.
He ate two reluctantly and refused to eat any more.
Xie Lin frowned, "Why don't you eat it? Not used to it?"
She ate rice in Beijing, and suddenly came here to eat noodles. Xie Lin was worried that she would not be able to adapt.
Seeing the worry between his brows, Lin Yiwan felt warm in her heart, the corners of her lips curved up unconsciously, and she shook her head.
"I'm not uncomfortable, it's just that the weather is too hot and I don't have much appetite. Please eat."
Xie Lin was afraid that she would not want to eat it, so he gave the steamed bread to her and tried to persuade her.
Lin Yiwan's face was wrinkled and she clasped her hands together.
“I really can’t eat anymore!”
A look of begging for mercy.
Xie Lin sighed helplessly, and finally didn't say anything else. He ate all the remaining steamed buns.
"I have to go back to the army later, probably around nine o'clock."
It was already six forty-five after dinner. Xie Lin hurriedly picked up his military cap and put it on, saying.
Although he is the deputy head of the group, his job is not easy at all.
Not only do we have to take charge of military affairs, but we also have to manage the lives of soldiers.
Lin Yiwan had been mentally prepared for his busyness and was not surprised.
When he went out, she got up too.
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you at home."
She raised her hand to help him straighten his military uniform and spoke softly.
The courtyard door was open, and Xie Lin did not make any other movements, but the sight from under the brim of his hat seemed particularly scorching.
"Um!"
He responded, his deep voice slightly hoarse.
Time was a bit tight, and it still took ten minutes to walk from the family compound to the military camp. Xie Lin did not delay, and after she had put on her military uniform, he went out.
After Xie Lin returned to the army, Lin Yiwan cleaned up the dishes.
It was hot and humid in the summer, and she was sweating all over after a busy day. However, she did not go to the bathroom to take a shower. Instead, she closed the door and entered the space directly.
There is a shortage of water here, so it is impossible for her to go to the bathroom to take a bath every day to avoid causing unnecessary controversy.
But she couldn't bear not taking a shower in such hot weather.
Fortunately, there is a space, and fortunately Xie Lin is not in the family compound at this time.
After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Yiwan didn't rush out and stayed in the space.
Many vegetables in the space can be picked and eaten, and the corn has even begun to sprout and spin silk.
You should know that it takes at least fifty days for normal corn to grow from tassels to silk.
Looking at the lush green plants that filled the space, Lin Yiwan felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
She picked a few leaves of lettuce, washed them with spiritual spring water, and put them into her mouth to eat them raw.
The leaves are full and firm. When you bite them, they make a crisp "crunch" sound. They are crispy and tender, with a hint of sweetness.
No need to add any dipping sauce, the taste is unforgettable when eaten raw.
Lin Yiwan ate a few slices and picked a few more.
After eating five or six pieces of lettuce, the discomfort caused by lack of oil and water was relieved a lot.
Lin Yiwan: ...
What kind of heaven-defying principle is this?
However, this problem is obviously an unsolvable problem, just like space.
Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate and went to see the two chickens.
In just half a month, the feathers of the two chickens have fully grown.
They are very close, one is male and the other is female.
Judging from its growth rate, it will probably lay eggs in about a month.
Lin Yiwan picked some green vegetables, tore them up and threw them into the chicken coop for the two chickens to eat.
The vegetables had just been thrown in, and the two chickens flapped their wings and clucked to grab the food. After a while, all the vegetables on the ground were eaten up.
It's not like the disgust when feeding chicken feed.
Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows slightly, picked some leaves at the bottom and threw them in for the chickens to eat.
All the green vegetables on the ground were eaten up, not even the stems were left.
It was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Lin Yiwan: ...
She thought they only needed to drink water, but it turns out they still need to eat food!
Fortunately, the plants in the space grow fast enough, so there is no need to worry about not being able to support two chickens.
After feeding the chickens, Lin Yiwan came out of the space, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly calculated some formula on it.
Time flies.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xie Lin came back.
Looking at the woman who was immersed in her own world and oblivious to what was happening outside, he was stunned.
This was the first time he saw her working, serious, focused and fanatical!
The whole person seemed to be emitting a dazzling light, making it impossible to take your eyes off!
