"Teacher Qiao!" Just when Qiao Xuejun was about to discuss with the system how to take out this batch of rewards, a voice calling her came from outside the greenhouse again.
She walked out of the greenhouse and saw Uncle Zhang coming into the experimental field.
It wasn't dinner time yet, so she was slightly surprised: "Uncle Zhang, you're looking for me?"
Uncle Zhang laughed, "Haha, I wanted to come and see how these vegetables are growing. Now that I'm done, my head is full of these vegetables! I can't sit still or stand still, so I came to take a look!"
Qiao Xuejun: "It's still early. The harvest will be next month."
Uncle Zhang: "Can I go in and take a look?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Come in."
Uncle Zhang is the chef, and besides Qiao Xuejun, he is the person who cares about the greenhouse the most.
After entering the greenhouse, Uncle Zhang first looked at the planting racks beside the entrance, avoiding the rapeseed in the field, and walked over carefully. He looked at the rapeseed plants in the hydroponic boxes and said, "Haha, it's good. This one has three or four leaves already."
Qiao Xuejun nodded and walked to his side: "Yes. It will take about 30 days for the crops to mature and be harvested." If we replace the plant lights today, it will only take 25 days.
She had to find a way to change it today.
Uncle Zhang asked, "How many kilograms of spinach are there in these four greenhouses per crop?"
Qiao Xuejun calculated: "We can harvest about 25,000 kilograms. Is that enough to eat?"
Uncle Zhang was surprised: "How can there be so many?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Not much. Without precise temperature control, the yield per mu is only about 3,000 kilograms."
Hydroponics has a high yield. If temperature control can be developed, the yield per mu can reach 5,000 kilograms, or 40,000 kilograms per 8 mu.
The current production is expected to be only 60% of the peak yield.
Uncle Zhang said roughly, "Our base now has a little over 5,000 people. If we eat one meal a day, it would take about 30,000 kilograms."
Uncle Zhang added, "But you don't have to eat it every day. If you eat once every two days, there will still be more than enough left after 25,000 kilograms!"
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and said, "We can build another layer of planting racks near the wall to expand production."
If the planting rack has many layers, it is easy to collapse if it is built too high, but it is better if it is against the wall of the greenhouse.
Moreover, she had just opened so many rewards that she could build four new greenhouses. Those professional greenhouses could grow a lot of things.
Uncle Zhang looked around and said excitedly, "30 days? I'm just waiting for the spinach to come into the kitchen!"
Qiao Xuejun: "No problem."
"This is for you."
Uncle Zhang was about to leave the greenhouse, but he stopped. He took out a bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Qiao Xuejun's pocket: "Take it and eat it."
Qiao Xuejun was surprised and looked at the paper bag in her hand: "What is this?"
Uncle Zhang: "I made freeze-dried French fries, frozen mushrooms, dried pumpkins and so on. You can have them as snacks!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Is that the complicated freeze-drying you mentioned last time?"
Uncle Zhang nodded: "I took out some ingredients for experiments, and these are the more successful ones."
Qiao Xuejun smiled happily, accepted the snacks and fed them: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
She opened the paper bag and found the ingredients written in strips. She picked up a French fry and ate it.
She chewed it, her eyes shining slightly: "Uncle Zhang, this is delicious, it really tastes like French fries!"
Compared to French fries, freeze-dried French fries are not as fragrant. They are more like the original potato aroma and have a lighter taste.
But the taste is unique.
They are very crispy and easy to eat, just like the French fries I used to buy.
Uncle Zhang said, "Go back and sprinkle some salt and chili powder on it, it will taste even better. There's also some sweet dried pumpkin in it, so I didn't give it to you."
Qiao Xuejun took out some dried frozen mushrooms to eat.
She tasted it and nodded in praise, "This one is good too, just like fried. Crispy."
Mushrooms themselves have a lot of flavor, and even without adding seasoning, the taste is richer. It is enough to eat it directly as a dish.
Qiao Xuejun took two bites and said, "The taste is much richer than before, but, Uncle Zhang, the hot dishes you make are still better."
Uncle Zhang and Qiao Xuejun walked out together: "Of course, hot dishes use a lot of seasonings! But from experience, this freeze-drying method may be able to retain the nutrients of the food to the greatest extent."
His focus is not just on the taste of food, but also on the efficiency of nutrient utilization.
After seeing Uncle Zhang off, Qiao Xuejun put away the bag of snacks she had eaten two pieces of. She could share these with her teammates. Zhao Linlin would probably like these. Doctor Wang and Kuang Shen both liked sweet things, so she'd save some dried pumpkin for them.
Another person came to Qiao Xuejun's mind - Zhao Xian. Well, he could also share some with her.
After finishing the work in the greenhouse, Qiao Xuejun went to check on the stable next door.
The walls of the stable have basically been built, and now we need to put up the roof. Without a crane and small machinery, it would be more troublesome and require the assistance of many people.
The stable adopts a single-slope sloping roof design to facilitate snow removal in the later stage.
After taking a look, Qiao Xuejun couldn't stop and went up to help move the wood.
"Teacher Qiao, you're here to help again." The carpenter looked at Qiao Xuejun who came forward to help lift the wood and greeted her, "The stable will be finished today!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Thank you for your hard work."
The carpenter joked, "It's hard work, but it's also hard work for you, Teacher Qiao. You've been coming here every day these past few days, and it's embarrassing for my apprentices. They're not as active as you!"
Qiao Xuejun: "No, I just came to check it out after I finished my work in the greenhouse."
While chatting, they worked.
She asked the system: "There's a reward for building a greenhouse, but is there a reward for building a stable?"
