Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian sat in the cafeteria and had dinner together.
As expected, there was an extra dish of cold-mixed black fungus for dinner, which also included shredded cherry radish.
With the addition of sour vinegar, it is very crispy and refreshing.
"Uncle Zhang is amazing! He can even make vinegar from potatoes." Qiao Xuejun praised. "It's delicious."
Wood ear mushrooms contain high-quality protein, are rich in dietary fiber, and can also supplement some amino acids.
Now there is a stable supply of wood ear mushrooms, which has enriched the dining tables at the base.
Zhao Xian took a bite of the fungus and looked at Qiao Xuejun.
After eating for a while, Qiao Xuejun realized that Zhao Xian was staring at her while eating, so she couldn't help but stop.
Qiao Xuejun: “?”
She wondered, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xian asked, "Why is our teacher Qiao so amazing?"
He seemed genuinely interested and exclaimed, "I've made fungus, spinach, radishes, tomatoes, how come I can do everything?"
Qiao Xuejun smiled, feeling a little shy at Zhao Xian's straightforward praise, but she still agreed generously: "Yes, that's what we call professionalism! I will do more. When the ranch expands, chicken and rabbit meat will also be served. Then Uncle Zhang will be able to make some fried meat with black fungus, stewed cabbage with meat, and stewed radish with chicken."
Qiao Xuejun herself began to yearn for it as she spoke: "I want to eat it. Uncle Zhang's cooking is delicious."
Zhao Xian smiled: "Almost."
When Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian were sitting in the cafeteria eating dinner and chatting, Zhao Yun suddenly ran in.
He was so excited that he didn't care about the other people in the cafeteria. He rushed over and shouted, "Teacher Qiao, it's true!"
Qiao Xuejun almost dropped the spoon because of his yelling.
Zhao Xian looked at him and frowned: "Be steady."
Zhao Yun tried hard to steady himself, sat down, and spoke with restraint, lowering his voice: "Teacher Qiao, it's actually true. I saw it."
Zhao Yun came to see them without even taking off his mechanical exoskeleton.
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? So, can you design a geothermal well?"
Zhao Yun: "Okay. I'll take the props out tomorrow at noon to conduct a detailed survey to see how deep the heat source reservoir is."
He couldn't hide his excitement. "Oh my god! Geothermal energy is actually emerging. God is so kind! It could be movement deep underground, causing some geological changes. But we haven't reacted at all up there. It's truly amazing."
He sat next to Qiao Xuejun and began to guess what kind of geological changes had occurred. Every time he made a guess, he sighed at God's wisdom and the wonders of creation.
Qiao Xuejun communicated with the system in her heart: "Did you hear that? I'm praising you. God."
The system felt a little guilty: "I moved the geothermal energy here, which is actually cheating." But it quickly regained its composure, "But compared to the revival of ancient bacteria led by the book consciousness, this is nothing."
Qiao Xuejun asked, "Are you saying that the activities of the symbiotic bacteria are led by the consciousness of the book?"
System: "Yes, this is the main setting of this book. But according to the development of this world, such things should not be resurrected. My existence is to make this abnormality disappear."
Qiao Xuejun: "Will it disappear?"
System: "Isn't this the direction you are working towards?"
Qiao Xuejun smiled.
Indeed. They are working hard, and once the extreme cold passes, she will start planting purple flowers again, to make those "abnormalities" disappear completely.
Zhao Yun talked for a long time, becoming increasingly excited. "If we successfully develop geothermal energy, we won't need blue oil at all! It's free energy, and we won't have to worry about heating. 24-hour heating is just around the corner!"
"No, I have to go back to drawing the blueprints!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Since you're here, why don't you eat?"
Zhao Yun: "I'm not eating anymore, who still has the mood to eat?"
Qiao Xuejun watched Zhao Yun run away again and said to Zhao Xian, "Your brother is so active and enthusiastic about his work that he didn't even eat."
Zhao Xian looked at her helplessly: "You are the same, too. You are too busy to care about anything."
It's about her excessive use of her hands.
Qiao Xuejun defended herself: "I'm not skipping meals. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. I can't wield a hoe if I don't eat."
She added, "Besides, no one should criticize anyone else. Some people are so busy that they don't even get any sleep."
Zhao Xian is just like that, Jue Shao.
Before Qiao Xuejun was not at the base to sleep, Zhao Xian was busy handling affairs, and it was normal for him to only sleep 4 hours a day. Even after Qiao Xuejun came, he often went out in the middle of the night to deal with emergencies.
The two of them said something to each other, and then realized that neither of them was right, so they stopped arguing.
·
After it got dark, the temperature dropped again, and there were mutants everywhere, so it was no longer suitable to go out. Qiao Xuejun missed the time to retreat to the shelter and stayed overnight at the base.
She sent a message to the shelter and promised to go back tomorrow at noon when the temperature rose.
Lying on the bed, Zhao Xian massaged and kneaded Qiao Xuejun's wrists.
Zhao Xian suggested: "Since the cotton has been harvested, why don't you stay at the base from now on?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "I have to go back."
Zhao Xian: "Stay here, I'll give you a hot compress and massage." He paused, and said in a coaxing tone, "If you stay at the base, you can also enjoy Uncle Zhang's cooking."
He had heard Qiao Xuejun say before that he liked Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship.
Qiao Xuejun was amused by him: "Lord, does Uncle Zhang know that you used his skills to keep people here?"
Zhao Xian said shamelessly: "No?"
Qiao Xuejun smiled and shook her head: "Okay, sure, but don't we need to expand the ranch? I have to go back and breed more chicks and rabbits. Otherwise, what will I raise?"
After hearing this, Zhao Xian became serious. He kissed her forehead and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's not that hard..."
The two of them lay in bed, chatting idly, and slowly fell asleep.
But this night was not peaceful.
In the middle of the night, the intercom that Zhao Xian placed next to his pillow started to make noises again.
"Calling the captain, captain!" The voice was anxious.
Zhao Xian frowned.
It's the emergency response channel.
Qiao Xuejun, who was soundly sleeping, was awakened: "What happened?"
Zhao Xian sat up and picked up the intercom: "Speak."
He left the bed, got up and went outside, tucked the corner of Qiao Xuejun's quilt: "You continue to sleep, I'll go outside."
Qiao Xuejun held his hand: "No need. I'm listening."
The soldier on the opposite side reported: "Captain, someone in the sea fort was taken away by a sea monster!"
At the same time, Qiao Xuejun's system began broadcasting: [Warning: Host, your base has lost 6 people, and the current number is 7065. Please be careful and maintain the number of people above 7000.]
