Chapter 496: Just a few days away
Lu Yuan wanted to laugh when he saw Han Ying's expression which said "If you answer wrong, you won't be able to get in bed tonight."
With a strong desire to survive, Lu Yuan asked tentatively: "I want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot? And a portion of pork ribs and corn soup?"
"Okay, then eat this!"
There is no white on the goose stewed in an iron pot. Even the pancakes are light yellow and there are no long strips of things. It's okay.
In addition to the iron pot stewed goose and pork ribs soup, Han Ying also got a portion of stir-fried vegetables. The two of them finished all the dishes and soup plus a dozen or so pancakes and considered their dinner a success.
After dinner, the two began to busy themselves with space matters.
There is always a lot of work to do in the space every day, but both of them enjoy it.
Just before entering the space, they went to the 4th and 5th floors to collect the planting pots.
So now we have to deal with the planting pots we collected.
The potatoes had to be kept to grow into hunger-resistant potatoes, so they were kept for a few more days and not harvested.
The new sweet potatoes and corn are all mature, and the yield is good, 30% to 40% higher than that on the farm.
After harvesting the crops in the pots, the two began to busy themselves with other things in the space.
Lu Yuan picked the ripe watermelons one by one and put them in the basement, while Han Ying used scissors to cut bunches of grapes.
After finishing his work in the fields and the livestock pen, Lu Yuan caught and slaughtered a batch of adult rabbits.
Kill the space talisman that was thrown at Han Ying first, and then skin them together tomorrow.
After finishing their work, the two held hands and went for a walk on the other side of the mountain.
I thought this mountain wouldn't be too high, but I still can't see the top of it.
Han Ying always felt that there was something very important on the top of the mountain, but the closer the fog got to the top of the mountain, the slower it dissipated.
In the past, when a truckload of meteorites was swallowed by space, the thick fog would retreat significantly.
But now that a truckload of meteorites has come in, the extent to which the thick fog has receded cannot be seen with the naked eye and needs to be measured with a ruler.
But now in Jiangcheng, meteorites are becoming increasingly difficult to collect, and it takes a long time for Scar Wei to exchange for a truckload.
If she wanted to throw them into the space in large quantities like before, she and Lu Yuan would have to go somewhere else.
Han Ying wanted to look somewhere else, but now that they had taken over the farm, she would have to think twice before leaving.
"The farm is now on track. Liu Hefeng and his company are stationed at the farm, and Brother Lei and Li Ping are watching over it. It shouldn't be a problem for us to leave for a few days."
Lu Yuan naturally knew what Han Ying was thinking and what she was worried about, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was actually feasible.
I'm only away for a few days, and judging by the current situation, nothing will go wrong for the time being.
"Then let's go after we make the arrangements."
Looking up at the circle of white mist on the top of the mountain, Han Ying was indeed a little anxious to know what was on the top of the mountain.
Early the next morning, the three families packed up and drove towards the farm.
Now, Han Ying and her family's truck has been directly lent to Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai's families.
Although driving two cars is a waste of fuel, it is much more convenient.
Because Han Ying and Lu Yuan sometimes stayed on the farm at night to handle work and returned to Hongmei Village very late, and sometimes they even lived directly on the farm.
So it would be more convenient to drive two cars.
However, Lei Minghu and his team had limited diesel, so Han Ying offered to help them exchange a batch from the base.
During the time that Han Ying and Lu Yuan took over the farm, they have successfully grafted peppers, eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, and even wolfberries.
When Gu Yuanping heard that Lu Yuan had successfully grafted wolfberries, he rushed to the farm without even having time to eat lunch.
After all, wolfberry is a traditional Chinese medicine, and there are basically no new medicines appearing after the end of the world.
If wolfberries can be grown in large quantities, the people in the base will at least be able to enhance their immunity.
Wolfberry has many benefits. Although its medicinal effect is not strong, it is a good medicine for warming and nourishing.
Unfortunately, the success rate is quite low. Lu Yuan had previously obtained 20 high-quality wolfberry seeds from the research institute.
All 20 seeds germinated successfully, but in the end only 5 were successfully grafted.
The success rate is much lower than that of peppers and eggplants.
Gu Yuanping did not comment on this. He said that there was no need to worry about the low success rate, and then he asked the research institute to get a bag of wolfberry seeds for Lu Yuan.
Wolfberry seeds are smaller than new potato seeds, and there are at least ten thousand of them in this bag.
Lu Yuan grabbed a handful of seeds, probably a few hundred in number, and placed them in a paper towel to germinate.
Although the farm planted a patch of mutant seafood mushrooms in the experimental field, the growth was not as fast as in the space.
In the past, they were pulled out, but now, under Han Ying's leadership, they are directly cut.
Just like cutting leeks, you need to leave about one-third of the length so as not to affect its continued growth.
If you cut too close to the root, it will not grow back.
Even so, the amount that can be cut and made into nutrient solution each day is limited.
A limited amount of nutrient solution must be used to irrigate thousands of acres of land, so it can only be diluted by adding more water.
If the dilution factor is too large, the effect of inducing growth will become somewhat poor, except for preventing the soil from freezing.
However, when adding water to dilute it, Han Ying would secretly add more nutrient solution to the water so that the concentration would be a little higher.
At this time, Han Ying was watching Lu Yuan grafting another batch of peppers in the greenhouse.
This is already the third batch. The first batch that was successfully grafted has already grown into small lamb peppers.
There are not many fruits because it is not yet the peak production period.
It will take about another month for this batch of grafted peppers to enter their peak production period.
Every time Gu Yuanping came to the farm, he would go into the greenhouse and experimental fields to take a look.
Looking at the farm that was getting better and better, Gu Yuanping's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.
He knew that it would be a good idea to hand over the farm to these two people.
Fortunately, he did not refuse when Professor Li proposed it.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not return to Hongmei Village at night. They planned to stay in the ice house on the farm.
The two of them have lived in this ice house several times. Sometimes when they were tired from working on the farm during the day, they would come here to rest.
Or when I am free, I will go into the ice house and then into the space to take care of the things inside.
The ice bed was not cold at all to sleep on, so Han Ying laid several layers of thick mattresses on it.
If the two of them light the stove or take out the radiator, the temperature in the entire igloo can be maintained at around 15 degrees.
In his spare time, Lu Yuan would also try to build an igloo by himself.
Next to the big igloo where the two of them lived, Lu Yuan built a small igloo with a diameter of 3 meters.
It was built successfully on the first try, and Han Ying gave him a thumbs up repeatedly.
Although it is a bit small, it is my first time building it after all.
Then expand it slowly later.
