Chapter 106: Xia Runlin's Concern
"Yes, I want to buy ordinary rice seeds. Can you help me pack them..."
"Okay~"
Xu Xinxin bought some ordinary rice seeds and planned to plant them when she returned home today.
After buying the rice seeds, she remembered that she could also buy some fish fry.
However, this requires an advance reservation. After she mentioned this to the fishmonger, they added each other's contact information and he told her to notify her when there were extra fry.
Then she bought some flower fertilizer and some feed.
This time I came to the supply and marketing market, I bought almost everything I needed.
But before she could go back, she had to contact someone to build an insulated roof for her pond.
They were all old acquaintances. Xu Xinxin explained her request to the other party, and the other party replied, "Ordinary insulation materials, just to build an insulating roof for the pond. According to the area you mentioned, it will cost about 20,000 points, but you need to go to the site to see the specific amount."
This price is much cheaper than the previous price of hundreds of thousands.
"OK."
Xu Xinxin nodded and took the man home.
This time, it took less than half a day to build a breathable and insulated roof above her pond, similar to the one at a gas station.
This insulated roof can also be freely controlled to "open" or "close" like her top-of-the-line constant temperature house. However, after the material is "rolled up", it cannot be completely "retracted" into the frame like the top-of-the-line constant temperature room, and it still takes up quite a lot of space.
And its heat insulation effect is not as good as the top-end version.
Only with comparison can you appreciate how good her top-of-the-line version of the constant temperature chamber is, but this constant temperature roof is enough for the pond.
Xu Xinxin was very satisfied with the insulated roof. After seeing the construction workers off, she walked around the pond a few times and touched two more duck eggs.
Unexpectedly, before she achieved freedom for chicken eggs, she achieved freedom for duck eggs first.
Duck eggs can be fried and eaten directly, but they may not be as delicious as scrambled eggs, so they are usually made into salted duck eggs or preserved eggs.
She doesn’t know how to make preserved eggs yet, but she knows how to make salted duck eggs.
She hadn't finished eating the eggs that Sun Kunpeng had given her before, so she definitely hadn't had time to eat fresh duck eggs recently. Plus, the eggs she had saved in the wilderness were already quite a bit, so she might as well make them all into salted duck eggs today.
Just do it.
Xu Xinxin immediately dug some soil nearby and squatted in front of the kitchen. She put duck eggs in her left hand, salt in the middle, and wet mud mixed evenly with water on her right.
She first mixed the salt and mud evenly, then wrapped the duck eggs in the mud until they were all evenly coated. Then she found a flowerpot that was neither too big nor too small, washed it clean, and put the duck eggs wrapped in mud into it.
This is very easy to make. Just keep the duck eggs for more than a month and then you can eat them.
When the wild ducks in the pond lay more eggs in the future, if she can’t finish eating them, she can sell them.
Putting the duck eggs in the corner of the kitchen, Xu Xinxin went to pack the meat she had bought.
She put the meat in the ice cellar as soon as she came back, because she was afraid that she would not have time to cook it and the meat would get suffocated in the space.
Now that she still had time, she might as well pickle some more cured fish and meat and put them in the aisle leading to the ice cellar. The temperature was low enough but they wouldn't be frozen immediately.
Thinking about it this way, this ice cellar is much more convenient than a refrigerator.
It’s just a pity that she couldn’t buy sausage casings, otherwise it would have been even better to make sausages.
Xu Xinxin washed her muddy hands and prepared to go to the ice cellar, but my card dinged and I received a text message.
She clicked on it and found that it was sent by Xia Runlin.
Moreover, there were 5 unread text messages before this one.
Oh no, she must have been busy buying things and building the insulated roof today, and with so much noise around her, she didn’t notice the information on the card.
Although there is a prompt sound when the card receives a message, the sound is not loud and can be easily ignored when someone is talking.
Xu Xinxin quickly opened it from the beginning and read it one by one.
[Sorry, I almost forgot to text you today, so it’s a little late to send the message now.]
When she saw the message, she subconsciously looked at the time when she received the message.
10:45am.
She was still in the mall at this time.
After reading the first day's text messages, she clicked on the following ones one by one.
[I am safe today and have not yet entered the wilderness. If you need any help, you can tell me.]
About half an hour after this message was sent, another message was sent.
【Have you received the message? 】
【Have you encountered anything recently? 】
【If you encounter something that you can't solve, please be sure to tell me. 】
【？ 】
After reading the six text messages sent by Xia Runlin in a row, Xu Xinxin knew that it must be because she did not reply that he mistakenly believed that he was in some trouble.
When Xu Xinxin thought of this, she immediately edited the text to reply.
[I'm here.] [I went to the mall today. It was noisy and I didn't hear the message notification sound.]
[After I got home, I had an insulated roof built for our pond and pickled a basket of duck eggs.]
[Next time you come to my house, I will treat you to the duck eggs I pickled myself. ]
She sent these messages in a row, thought for a moment, and added another sentence.
[If you feel bored in the wilderness, you can also text me to chat. Next time, I will definitely not miss your message. ]
After sending these messages, Xu Xinxin waited for a while and did not receive any new message alerts, so she continued to walk towards the ice cellar.
Along the way, she was afraid of missing the news and breaking her promise, so she would check the news on her card every once in a while.
So, when she walked into the ice cellar, rubbed salt on the meat that had not yet been frozen, and then used wood to prop up a wooden rack in the passage and hung the meat that had just been salted on it with a rope, the card finally "dinged" and received another message.
Xu Xinxin's hands were covered in lard, and she didn't even have time to wash her hands before she clicked on the message she received.
[Are you Xu Xinxin? You asked me to order fish fry today. My family just told me that we have more than 20 fish fry left. If you want, you can come and get them tomorrow.]
It turned out to be news from Mr. Yu, not from Xia Runlin.
Xu Xinxin suddenly felt a little disappointed, but quickly sent a reply.
[Okay, Mr. Fish, I'll be there tomorrow~]
Just when she finished sending the message to the fish boss, another message reminder flashed on the small screen of the card.
Xu Xinxin's heart, which had just felt lost, suddenly became excited.
I clicked on it and saw that this time the message was from Xia Runlin.
[Well, okay, you can chat with me when you are bored. ]
When Xu Xinxin saw this message, she couldn't help but chuckle twice for some reason.
Unexpectedly, she and Xia Runlin could become online friends.
