Qiao Xuejun also told Uncle Zhang about the expected delivery time of the beets.
Uncle Zhang also made an appointment with Qiao Xuejun for peppers: "When there is vacant land, Teacher Qiao can consider growing peppers."
Qiao Xuejun hesitated for a moment. "Chili peppers are also very nutritious, but their yield is relatively low. On the same land, growing tomatoes or spinach will yield more than peppers."
Can be much higher.
Simply put, it's not cost-effective, so she only grows a little in her shelter now, and the first base is planted with high-yield crops.
She looked at Uncle Zhang and asked, "Uncle, you want to supplement the base with vitamin C, so you want chili peppers?"
Vitamin C has always been important, and spinach now provides it. But peppers contain far more vitamin C than spinach, even higher than oranges.
Uncle Zhang: "Vitamin C is one reason, but the spiciness is more important. Teacher Qiao, if you want to use rye as a staple food in the future, whether it's for noodles or other things, the taste won't be that palatable. But if you mix it with chili sauce, you can easily swallow it."
"We're all out of chili peppers in the kitchen right now. If we had any, this would make the dish more diverse."
Qiao Xuejun listened carefully and nodded: "I understand. I will find an opportunity to expand production and grow peppers."
What Uncle Zhang said makes sense.
Gongzhou, where she is now, is an area where people eat chili peppers. There is a saying that people in Gongzhou eat chili peppers because Gongzhou is poor in resources and food is scarce, and many things are difficult to swallow.
People in Gongzhou began to grow chili peppers. Food with chili peppers has a special flavor, which can make food that is not so delicious go into the stomach.
They are in the same situation now. If rye is used as the staple food, its palatability is relatively poor, and it is more palatable when added with chili.
But not everyone can get used to eating chili peppers, so they need a type of chili pepper that is moderately spicy but highly fragrant.
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment, going over all the varieties in her mind, and asked, "I'm planning to plant jujube twigs. Uncle Zhang, do you have any better suggestions?"
Uncle Zhang nodded. "Erjingtiao is good, it's suitable! It will make a more fragrant chili sauce, spicy but not too spicy."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay. Let's make it this way. The White Shark returned today with a lot of supplies. I'll see if I can gather enough materials to expand the greenhouse."
That should be enough.
After talking to Uncle Zhang, Qiao Xuejun went directly to the Coordination Department to get the key and went to the warehouse where the supplies were stored.
There are many warehouses, and the last one is empty. Now the transport team coming up from the mountain has stuffed all the things brought back from the sea into this warehouse.
Qiao Xuejun didn't go to that warehouse. She walked into one of the large warehouses that was already full.
The various supplies inside are classified into daily necessities, medical supplies, and production supplies.
There were baskets of daily necessities, such as combs and scissors, all collected by the salvage team in the city.
From the beginning of spring after the extreme cold to the current summer, the salvage team has been carrying out missions non-stop, making trips one after another and bringing back a lot of supplies to the base.
All here.
Qiao Xuejun was walking towards the production area. When she passed a shelf near the living area, she suddenly stopped and looked over.
Here... are the supplies brought back from the CDC.
Disinfectant, sprayer, mask... and condoms.
Qiao Xuejun paused for a moment, then walked in calmly to count the supplies.
There were indeed enough materials for building the greenhouse. She planned to calculate the quantity and then go to the construction department to find someone and tell him her needs.
Qiao Xuejun: "Let's queue up. How long will it take?"
The Construction Department had a lot of work to do, especially on Squib Mountain, where new construction was needed, and also inside the First Base, where there were also areas that needed construction.
The head of the construction department said: "We have a lot of people, so we can go fast."
The weather was warm during this period, and the construction department was working hard. With a continuous stream of projects, the department expanded significantly, employing at least 300 people.
The supervisor continued, "We've expedited all of Mr. Qiao's orders. Please wait a couple of days. Once we've finished building the defense net on Mute Mountain, we can transfer personnel to work on the greenhouse."
Qiao Xuejun lined up and waited patiently.
After she finished this, she went back to work in the greenhouse.
·
Qiao Xuejun didn't care about the warehouse. She went to take a look to see if there was anything her Ministry of Agriculture could use, and then returned to the base to handle the work of the Ministry of Agriculture.
After Qiao Xuejun returned to her room to wash up and write her work log, Zhao Xian still hadn't returned.
By the time she finished the hot compress massage on her wrist and lay down on the bed to sleep, it was already 11 o'clock, and Zhao Xian was still nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Xuejun couldn't help but frown.
She picked up the intercom and switched to the patrol team's channel, which contained instructions and reports: "...Team three will flank from the east. Be careful and don't make any noise!"
"Report to the captain! The sea monster at marker 9 is moving south."
“…”
"--shooting!"
Soon, the sound of continuous gunfire and the howling of sea monsters could be heard from the other side.
The battle isn't over yet. It's already dark at this hour. Logically, we have no advantage against the sea monster. Why don't we retreat?
Qiao Xuejun listened for a long time. The battle over there was fierce, and Zhao Xian's voice was calm, issuing orders continuously.
After listening for a long time, it finally ended.
"Dissect and collect information glands." Zhao Xian ordered.
