Of the 15 acres of land in the shelter, 10 acres are planted with potatoes, the remaining 4 acres are planted with pumpkins, and one acre is planted with vegetables such as cabbage, leeks, tomatoes, and carrots.
No blue oil is used to heat water or filter it, only electric light is used. All 15 acres of land are planted.
During the day, four people farmed the 15 acres of land, and each person was assigned four acres. The last acre of land for planting vegetables was basically planted by Qiao Xuejun herself.
The three teammates are all experienced in growing potatoes, so Qiao Xuejun doesn’t need to worry about it. The base fertilizer for the pumpkin has been prepared, and she doesn’t need to worry too much about the rest. She can still get a yield by being a bit rough.
But vegetables require delicate processing, so she didn't let the other three people intervene, for fear of affecting the yield.
Qiao Xuejun plans to supply potatoes and pumpkins to the First Base in large quantities, and she plans to eat the cabbages, leeks and tomatoes in the shelter herself.
The wild tomato seedlings and wood ear mushrooms that she had transplanted from the mountain are still there. You can eat some wood ear mushrooms from time to time, and if you can't eat them, you can dry them. This wild tomato is a bit sour, and the fruits are the size of a thumb. They can't be used to cook, but they can be fermented to make red and sour soup.
After finishing the planting, Wang Juanfeng was surprised to see Qiao Xuejun doing this: "You can also do this?"
The people in Gongzhou have the habit of eating red and sour soup, and many families can make it themselves, but Wang Juanfeng doesn't.
Wang Juanfeng: “My grandma knows how to make this.”
You pick these small wild tomatoes in the fields and make them into sour soup, noodles, vermicelli and hot pot.
Most people in Gongzhou like to eat this kind of food.
Qiao Xuejun said: "There is no shallot or garlic, otherwise it should be added a little."
Now it is pure acid, smashed with tomatoes and fermented.
Wang Juanfeng: "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"
This tomato had already been eaten last year. They would eat it as a snack, picking one from time to time as a fruit after a meal, though it was quite sour.
Qiao Xuejun: "I plan to return it to Zhao Xian."
Wang Juanfeng: "Hmm? Didn't you send me cabbage?"
Qiao Xuejun: "The cabbage is to thank them for saving me. Everyone gets one. This is just to pay back Zhao Xian for the canned food. I ate it at his place for a week."
Qiao Xuejun is very clear about the calculations.
Wang Juanfeng said: "I remember there are still some canned goods in the warehouse, you can just take them and return them to him."
Qiao Xuejun sighed: "I checked, the canned food he has is of the very high-end kind, high-quality, high-protein, and comprehensive nutrition. It's not the kind we have in our warehouse."
Qiao Xuejun had limited funds at the beginning, and she stocked up on canned food based on cost-effectiveness. It was incomparable to what Zhao Xian gave her. And to be honest, those canned foods tasted very good.
It must be expensive!
This was the only way she could come up with. Red and sour, it should be a good gift in the current lack of seasoning. But this alone was not enough.
Qiao Xuejun said, "I plan to kill two more rabbits, dry them and make them into hand-shredded jerky to give to him. What do you think?"
Wang Juanfeng looked at Qiao Xuejun who was sincerely seeking advice, and tentatively said, "Maybe he doesn't want your return gift? After all, I think he seems to be happy to give it to you. Maybe he doesn't care about these things."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes, he is really a good man who serves the people. So we can't let him suffer any loss."
Wang Juanfeng: "That's right... Then I'll help you kill the rabbit."
Among the four of them, only Wang Juanfeng and Qiao Xuejun could kill chickens and rabbits without blinking an eye. Wang Juanfeng, a medical student, could easily dissect a rabbit.
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay, thank you Doctor Wang. Please be careful when choosing, don't kill my breeding rabbits." They need to be kept for breeding.
Wang Juanfeng: "Yes, I know him. The one with gray hair on his paws is the fattest."
"right."

The sky is getting darker and darker. The sunrise time has been reduced from 6 hours a day to 4 hours now. The polar night seems not far away.
At 11:30 am that morning, Qiao Xuejun, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, was checking whether the potatoes in the field had sprouted.
Seven or eight days after planting, the seeds haven't sprouted yet, but those that sprout quickly have already grown.
Wang Juanfeng also watched from the side: "It hasn't grown yet, so it's not time to water it yet."
In the past, Wang Juanfeng also followed Qiao Xuejun to learn, wanting to share as much work as possible. Last year, Qiao Xuejun did not come to check so early.
When I spoke, white steam came out of my mouth. The weather was very cold.
Fortunately, the land here is temperature controlled, otherwise it would be impossible to grow crops.
Qiao Xuejun reached out and felt the potatoes that had already sprouted, and gently touched the leaves.
Qiao Xuejun pointed upwards at the street lights between the ridges and explained, "In previous years, there was natural light, so there was no need to worry. Now we use electric lights, which generate heat. Since they are not professional plant lights, they may burn the seedlings."
Now that they have just emerged, they are vulnerable.
So you need to check, and if the temperature is too high, you need to adjust the position of the light.
Wang Juanfeng suddenly realized, looked at the light, and put his hand under the light: "It is quite warm."
The weather is getting colder now, but because of the bright lights in this planting area, it doesn’t seem as cold as outside.
"Teacher Qiao!"
When Qiao Xuejun was looking at the last acre of land, she suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the loudspeaker and she paused.
"Teacher Qiao! Are you there? Are you there?"
Is that Ren Wangwang’s voice?
Qiao Xuejun looked at the remaining land and patted the mud on his hands: "First Base, find me. I'll come back and check it out."
Wang Juanfeng: "Go ahead, I'll check it out."
It was originally the last piece of land, there wasn't much left.
Qiao Xuejun walked to the door, pushed open the partition, looked out from the observation window, and saw Zhao Xian at the door.
