The glass house on the third floor was specially built by her to grow fruits and vegetables, which was much better than the newly reclaimed land outside and the vegetables and fruits planted casually in her own backyard.
Everything grown in this glass house is watered with diluted Jade Dew. Not only do the fruits and vegetables in this glass house thrive because the temperature and climate are far superior to those outdoors, but the frequent use of Jade Dew also makes them taste far superior to those purchased at farmers' markets and supermarkets.
Because of Yu Lu, there are even many out-of-season vegetables and fruits in her glass house.
The yellow peach trees that should have only borne fruit in the summer were now covered in bright yellow peaches, almost bending the entire tree. The grape vines that should have been dormant were also covered in bunches of crystal clear purple grapes!
In the northeast corner of the glass house, two watermelon vines, planted in oversized rooftop planters, were laden with five or six ten-pound watermelons. As for the nearby mango, lychee, and apple trees, while barren, their foliage was lush and green, belying the winter weather. Even the mango and lychee trees were covered in tiny white flowers.
If other people saw such a magical scene, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop!
Let alone other things, mango trees and lychee trees, two tropical crops, cannot be grown well in a temperate zone like Yunhai City. Let alone growing lush branches and leaves and blooming. Even ensuring that they can survive in winter is very difficult, let alone blooming.
Fortunately, Qin Suyun had already considered this before the glass house was built, to prevent the secrets in the glass house from being accidentally seen by others and attracting people with ulterior motives. Therefore, when building it, she specially selected one-way translucent bulletproof glass. Such glass is not only strong but also can block the sight of others.
In order to make these fruit trees bear fruit and not break through the roof, she takes time every week to prune the fruit trees to prevent them from growing taller, and at the same time pollinates the fruit trees with a small pollination brush.
Qin Suyun calculated that if a drop of Jade Dew was put in the large bucket at home every time water was poured, the pakchoy trees that would take a month to mature would mature within four days, while yellow peaches could be harvested in about half a month. If the supply of water with Jade Dew was stopped, the fruit trees would not lose all their fruits overnight, but their growth rate would return to its original speed.
But this is surprising enough.
After all, Yunhai is in this area, and no one's home can grow peaches and grapes in winter.
The only two drawbacks are that the light transmittance of this one-way transparent glass is relatively low and not as good as that of outdoor glass. In addition, this kind of glass is not cheap. To install it in a glass room that is only three meters high, even she, who knows that there will be an apocalypse in the future and that all the money on hand should be spent, feels a bit like a loss.
In order to ensure that if there was social chaos after the earthquake and the glass in their house suddenly shattered, they could find replacements in time, Qin Suyun also placed a lot of spare glass in the basement. All of these glasses were wrapped with high-quality shock-proof bubble film.
Of course, if she is really unlucky and the earthquake shatters all the glass and spare glass in the house, she will have to go back and look for it again.
I just hope that something like this never happens.
Qin Suyun picked ten yellow peaches and two bunches of grapes from the fruit tree next to her, and then picked some Chinese cabbage from the field to use for cooking later. Then she went downstairs carrying the vegetable basin.
When she reached the second floor, Qin Suyun suddenly paused and turned to go to a room on the east side of the second floor.
Pushing open the door of the room, it was pitch black inside. Qin Suyun put the vegetable bowl on the ground and turned on the chandelier on the wall. What caught her eye were three neatly arranged rows of mushroom racks. The racks were filled with mushroom bags that she had bought online before. There were five varieties of mushrooms: shiitake mushrooms, silver needle mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms and oyster mushrooms.
These mushrooms were something she had planned long ago. Besides the ones in the glass house on the top floor, they were the most suitable crops to grow at home. Mushrooms, as long as the temperature was right and there was water and nutrients, would grow quickly.
Behind her house was a large forest, and the wood needed for mushroom cultivation could be harvested at any time, as long as there was sufficient water. Even if the jade token lost its effect one day, as long as she worked hard, she could still survive by relying on this mushroom patch.
After picking two kinds of silver needle mushrooms, Qin Suyun planned to make mushroom soup later. She carried the overflowing bowl of fruits and vegetables to the kitchen on the first floor and washed the freshly picked yellow peaches and grapes. She gave Dahei and the other little ones, who had just gnawed on a bone, a yellow peach each for vitamins. She also passed the last cleaned peach to Hei Dou, who was squatting by the stove, staring at the boiling fish.
As a cat, it should not be able to taste sweetness, but for some reason, during the time that Hei Dou was at home, Qin Suyun discovered that he also liked to eat the fruits she planted on the rooftop.
Sometimes he would even sneak into the glass greenhouse when she was not at home and eat other fruits and vegetables, among which fruits were the most frequently eaten by Hei Dou.
However, if she replaced the fruits and vegetables on the roof with other fruits and vegetables bought from the supermarket, Hei Dou's interest in these things would be greatly reduced. Sometimes he would turn his head and lie down to sleep soundly after smelling them.
Qin Suyun touched Hei Dou's soft and warm little head and looked at him eating the yellow peach seriously. She couldn't help but sigh twice. This Jade Dew was really a good thing. As soon as the yellow peach came out, the little guy even moved back his favorite fish.
Feeling her physical strength gradually increasing from taking the Jade Dew these days, Qin Suyun touched the jade pendant hanging around her neck, rolled up her sleeves, and began to wash the pakchoy she grew herself. Because these pakchoy were grown directly indoors, it was very easy to wash them. In just a few minutes, Qin Suyun had cleaned out the pakchoy and enoki mushrooms.
It does not require too many seasonings, just a little oil and salt, and the stir-fried bok choy will feel exceptionally delicious. The refreshing and sweet aroma spreads at the tip of your nose, and a bite of it is refreshing and delicious with a hint of the unique sweetness of vegetables.
Even the person who hates vegetables the most can have two bowls of rice with this bowl of bok choy!
Sniffing this alluring fragrance, Qin Suyun felt that it was normal for Black Bean and Big Black to be so picky. How could ordinary Chinese cabbage be fried to have such a pleasant aroma? And such a delicious taste?
Even those imported organic fruits and vegetables from abroad cannot compare with them. Of course, although these fruits and vegetables taste good, they are still within the acceptable range for ordinary people and there is no supernatural phenomenon.
If it weren't for the impending apocalypse, she would have opened a farm to grow crops and raise livestock, which would have been quite successful. At least with the taste, sales wouldn't be a problem. Add to that the fact that black beans, which clearly don't taste sweet, have a special liking for these fruits and vegetables, and it's not hard to guess that these fruits and vegetables probably have special benefits for the body, such as slowly improving physical fitness.
However, Qin Suyun wouldn't be able to see these effects for a short time. After all, both she and her pets drank Jade Dew daily, and Jade Dew itself was very effective. So if they wanted to test whether fruits and vegetables watered with Green Jade Dew had the same tonic effect as other types of Jade Dew, they would have to start elsewhere.
Qin Suyun planned to do an experiment with the newly bought chicks and ducklings when she had some free time.
She had never used any jade dew for the chickens and ducks she raised for meat. Except for the diluted jade dew she had fed them once when she brought them home, she had never fed them any jade dew since then.
This is mainly because the jade pendant does not produce much jade dew every day. The two kinds of jade dew total about 20 drops a day. As the dogs grow up slowly, she will give them one drop per dog on average every day. She, Dahei, and Hei Dou also need to take it, so there is actually not enough to share.
In addition, she was worried that chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, etc. would become spiritual like black beans after taking Jade Dew, causing her to develop unnecessary feelings for them. Therefore, she had made up her mind before that she would try not to give them Jade Dew unless it was necessary.
While thinking this in his mind, his hands never stopped moving for a second, and soon a small pot of mushroom soup was cooked. At the same time, boiled fish with black beans and large pieces of beef were also served for Dahei and the others.
The boiled fish and large pieces of beef were served along with the broth and set aside to cool. The spicy crayfish were then served and placed on the dining table. Qin Suyun then invited a few children to eat with her.
Before he could even shout out the words "I want to eat", bursts of roaring dog barking suddenly rang out in the hall!
“Woof woof woof!!…”
“Woof woof!!…”
Along with the barking of dogs came the sound of running... Qin Suyun was stunned and subconsciously turned her head to look at Hei Dou next to her. Hei Dou was covered with hair at this time, and his throat made low whimpers like warnings, staring intently out the window!
In just a few seconds, several large wolfhounds suddenly rushed over from the direction of the living room. Dahei took the lead and bit Qin Suyun's trouser leg directly, dragging Qin Suyun out. The anxious look on his face almost overflowed from the wolfhound's furry face.
"What's going on?" Qin Suyun's heart skipped a beat. Without any hesitation, she quickly picked up the steel rod at the kitchen door, picked up the little black cat on the table, put it on her shoulder, and followed Dahei and the others to walk out. Although Heidou was just a stray cat, its balance skills were amazing. It sat steadily on Qin Suyun's shoulder and was not affected at all by the bumps when Qin Suyun walked.
“Woof woof woof! Woof woof!…”
As Qin Suyun walked into the living room, she found that the door of the living room, which was originally closed, had been opened by Xiaoqi. Its furry paws were placed on the handrail of the door, and it shouted anxiously at Qin Suyun inside the door.
Hanmaogu's little tiger girl
Qin Suyun didn't dare to delay and hurriedly followed them out the door. She didn't know when these little guys learned to open doors. They could even open the heavy iron gate of their courtyard at will. When she came out of the room, she saw that the gate of her courtyard, which was usually locked, was now wide open. She didn't know which door opened it.
Even though the situation was urgent, Qin Suyun couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time in her life that she knew her dog was so capable!
They were dragged out of the room by Dahei and his group and stopped in the middle of the spacious front road. Several wolfhounds howled and looked nervously at the mountains and forests and their own courtyard, as if there was an invisible dark beast hiding in these places, wanting to devour them.
Infected by the surrounding atmosphere, Qin Suyun became nervous.
She looked around seriously, trying to find something in the empty space...
