Zhao Linlin smiled and said, "Yeah, the plane and I are at home. I've made some furniture these days. Oh, Boss, I also made a big one!"
Qiao Xuejun picked up the can of prickly pears on the ground and asked her, "What is it?"
Zhao Linlin couldn't wait to report his achievements: "I installed a fermenter next to our original distiller, so we can make wine!"
Qiao Xuejun's eyes lit up: "You can do it, you can do great things without saying anything!"
Zhao Linlin took Qiao Xuejun to admire his masterpiece. He walked to the distiller and pointed at the wooden barrel beside it and said, "Look! It's still being transformed, but it will be completed soon!"
It seemed like the real deal, and Qiao Xuejun praised her: "Not bad, not bad."
Now corn and potatoes can be used as raw materials for making wine. When rye grows later, it can also be used as a material for making wine.
The main reason is that the quality of this wild rye is not high, it tastes rough and astringent, which is different from wheat. It is difficult to swallow as food, but it is good for making wine.
After fermentation and brewing, this low-purity wine can be purified into high-purity wine in a distiller, and you can even try to make alcohol.
Aren't the medical facilities in Haibao not very good? Alcohol is a good thing. I can definitely exchange some steel with them by using a batch of alcohol.
However, this kind of home-brewed distilled liquor has an extremely high risk of methanol and fusel alcohol poisoning, so I will have to ask Uncle Zhang how to deal with it later.
After hearing Qiao Xuejun's praise, Zhao Linlin was very happy: "I finished it very quickly!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay. Master Zhao is amazing. I'm just waiting for the wine brewing machine."
After taking the sea buckthorn, Qiao Xuejun did not leave immediately. She put down the jar first and went to the planting area to see the growth of the cotton.
It is now almost two months, and the cotton seedlings are beginning to enter the bud stage and are about to bud.
She was away these few days, so she asked Wang Juanfeng to help water the fields so that there was no shortage of water.
There are no signs of any pests or diseases.
The cotton plants are upright, with elongated internodes and large, dark green, slightly drooping leaves - the cotton seedlings are growing vigorously, even too vigorously.
"Wait for Dr. Wang and Kuang Shen to come back, and tell them that they don't need to water the plants anymore and stop using nitrogen fertilizer," Qiao Xuejun instructed.
"Okay." Zhao Linlin answered without hesitation, but she didn't understand, "Why don't you water and fertilize?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Overnutrition, too fast growth, the flower buds will soon fall off."
Like rapeseed, the vigorous growth of cotton seedlings also needs special control.
Otherwise, the flower buds will fall off prematurely, too few bolls will form, and the yield will be greatly reduced, which is a problem that must be taken seriously.
Now we need to spray some cypermethrin to control the situation so that it won't grow so fast.
She actually used cypermethrin in the seedling stage before, but the nutrients in the fertile fields were still richer than she imagined, and the previous control effect was not so ideal.
Qiao Xuejun walked to the edge of the field where the farm tools were placed, put 1.5g of chlorpyrifos in the water tank, and mixed it with 30kg of water, which was the amount required for one mu of land.
Zhao Linlin wanted to help, but Qiao Xuejun drove her away: "You can't do this job."
It is difficult for a novice to master the amount of pesticide to spray.
Qiao Xuejun picked up a green pesticide sprayer, filled it with pesticide, put it on his back, and began spraying pesticide on the field.
Zhao Linlin: "Boss, can your feet bear it?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Don't worry, no problem. Go and do your thing."
All 15 acres of land had to be sprayed, and by the time Qiao Xuejun finished, it was already night.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and was about to finish her work when she heard Wang Juanfeng's voice coming from the edge of the field: "Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao!"
Qiao Xuejun turned around, saw Wang Juanfeng, and looked down at her watch.
It's already half past eight.
She put the sprayer aside and walked towards Wang Juanfeng: "Are you off work?"
Wang Juanfeng nodded, then looked down at Qiao Xuejun's feet worriedly: "The carpenter said you insisted on working by yourself, and you didn't listen. How come you have been working from noon until now?"
Qiao Xuejun argued: "...Not that long. Have you finished your meal?"
Wang Juanfeng nodded: "Of course I ate. How could the patrol team let me starve? On the contrary, you... the carpenter said you didn't even eat!"
Qiao Xuejun: "I ate too. I have military rations in my pocket, which is enough to fill me up!"
Wang Juanfeng: "Nonsense, I think you said you ate it because you were afraid of being scolded. How can you eat it when you sprayed pesticides from beginning to end?"
Wang Juanfeng and Qiao Xuejun went to the well and waited for her to wash her hands, muttering, "I've cooked mashed potato and mushroom soup. If you don't eat it, the little carpenter is waiting for you, but he hasn't eaten it yet."
Qiao Xuejun rinsed it repeatedly before returning to the cubicle.
From the brightly lit planting area to the living room, you can clearly feel the coldness of the living room, but once you walk into the small compartment, you feel warm.
Qiao Xuejun's face felt hot in an instant.
As soon as she sat down, the carpenter served her a bowl of potato and mushroom soup. Because it was mainly mashed potatoes, this dish was considered the staple food, and there were also corn kernels in it.
There's also a pumpkin pie on the side.
Kuang Qianli said beside him: "Today we also had pumpkin pie in the cafeteria of the First Base. It was sweet but not greasy. Their kitchen skills are quite good.
"Thank you." Qiao Xuejun thanked the carpenter, took off her coat and put it aside, sat down, and picked up the spoon in the bowl.
White mist slowly rises from the mashed potato and mushroom soup, carrying the rich aroma of potatoes and the umami flavor of mushrooms.
There are corn kernels mixed in it, which looks delicious.
She was about to put it in her mouth when she suddenly remembered something and looked at Wang Juanfeng: "Doctor Wang, is Team 1 off work as well?"
Has Zhao Xian returned? She came back suddenly today and hasn't said hello to the landlord yet.
Wang Juanfeng nodded and was about to say something when the intercom she had placed on the table, which was still working, rang.
A familiar voice came through the radio: "Calling Doctor Wang, calling Doctor Wang, this is Zhao Xian."
Wang Juanfeng looked at Qiao Xuejun and saw that she was obviously guilty. He smiled and picked up the intercom and handed it to Qiao Xuejun: "It must be you. Tell them quickly."
Qiao Xuejun was really guilty. After all, she had been living with Zhao Xian during the time she was sick. If she passed away, she should tell him anyway.
The main reason was that she came here on a whim, and once she started working, she got busy and forgot about it.
