Chapter 108 Preparing to Make Various Dried Vegetables
You must plant some precious medicinal herbs, such as Polygonum multiflorum, Gastrodia elata, ginseng, Cordyceps sinensis, Panax notoginseng, etc. Whether you keep them for your own use or use them to save people in need in the future, they are of great value.
Jingshu planted some commonly used ones according to online teaching materials, such as astragalus, purslane, isatis root, honeysuckle, angelica, motherwort, hawthorn, etc. These can also be used for headaches and fevers. Even Panax notoginseng and angelica can stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. When there is an external injury, there is no need to use Lingquan every time.
The value of these medicinal herbs will increase as time goes by. Jingshu plans to use a small amount of them to exchange for some supplies that are not available now.
As for vegetables, Jingshu left a piece of land to grow vegetables for daily use.
The other five fields, totaling 30 sides, are planted with radishes and day lilies, and their expected yield is over a thousand kilograms.
In the second half of the first half of the apocalypse, Jingshu will plant more vegetables, store a small portion in the space, and make the rest into dried vegetables and fruits, so that they will not be so conspicuous when she eats them when she lives in public places in the future.
Also, only at the end of May in the first year of the apocalypse, the temperature reached super-high temperatures. After six months, this temperature would never be seen again, and vegetables could no longer be dried.
This is the most natural time to dry vegetables and fruits, and the effect is extremely good. Leave them outside for a day to ensure that all the moisture is gone. Then store them in the refrigerator, and you can eat the dried vegetables and fruits. If necessary, add some water and they will become fresh vegetables again. The shelf life is extremely long, and it is best to eat dried vegetables when migrating.
In the second year of the apocalypse, even clothes were wet, food would get moldy if left out for a few days, and wild mushrooms grew everywhere... At that time, you had to use a dryer to dry vegetables, so Jingshu tried to make more dried vegetables and fruits in the second half of the year.
The last six fields are still dominated by coconut trees. Although it took more than three months to plant them, the coconuts are very productive once they mature. Currently, a batch of coconuts can be harvested every five days. Jingshu opens the second form of the Rubik's Cube space every day and makes coconut food in various ways, such as coconut milk pudding jelly, coconut glutinous rice, coconut jelly, etc. From time to time, she will open a coconut to drink some natural coconut juice.
Due to the extremely high temperature that rose from over 40 degrees to 50 degrees for several consecutive days, some people who had gradually gotten used to it suffered from heatstroke again. The most important thing is the extreme lack of water.
Now people who suffer from heatstroke are basically waiting to die. It is useless to go to the hospital because there is no medicine. There are also neighbors around who are watching you dying and want to report the body so that they can get 2 cents to buy some water.
This led to a chain reaction.
Every household exchanged everything they could, including seasonings, bedding, clothes, and even kitchen knives and knives, and then used the work points they earned to exchange for rice and water. 500 cups of water a day was not enough, and at this time, everyone was risking their lives to survive.
The people in Jingshu Community had just scored some points, and now they had basically changed to drinking water. Although everyone took small sips, it still couldn't resist the consumption of their bodies. They would only feel better after the temperature dropped to a few degrees.
Not to mention others, Jingshu, in an air-conditioned room with a constant temperature of 26 degrees, has to drink a dozen coconut milks every day, and then eat some ice cream, drink yogurt shaved ice, and drink some watermelon juice to barely feel enough.
"I don't know what Wu Youai eats at her teacher's house. Now that the natural gas has been cut off, I'm afraid she can't even cook." Jingnai was a little worried.
"Come on, I'll go get her some food."
Jingshu packed a large box of ingredients, including rice dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, braised meat, and a bucket of mineral water. The portion was large enough for two people.
Jingshu was not worried because she could see Wu Youai's situation on her mobile phone.
The situation that anesthesiologist Alan said would cause death after the anesthesia wore off did not happen. During the whole process, Jingshu only saw Wu Youai browsing his phone and reading comics. When he was hungry, there were biscuits next to him. When he was thirsty, there was water next to him. He didn't have to get out of bed when he wanted to go to the toilet.
Because that bed was a medical bed that Chu Zhuohua got from somewhere, there was a toilet in the middle of the bed, and he could go to the toilet by pressing a button. Wu Youai is currently in good mental condition, but he can't move below his legs. Jingshu goes to deliver meals to him every day, check if the wound is inflamed, and apply some spiritual spring water, just hoping that he can get better as soon as possible.
Wu Youai said that her life seemed to have come to an end.
She has reached her peak and she likes this kind of life. It would be perfect if there were more snacks and the temperature was not so hot.
After all, not every home can maintain a constant temperature of 26 degrees like Jingshu's.
Jingshu discovered that Wu Youai's mentor Chu Zhuohua actually owned a Maserati sports car. Of course, this was not the point. The point was that her mentor had modified the sports car himself, turning it into a hybrid car. The most amazing thing was that he even equipped the charger himself!
Modifying the engine is undoubtedly like changing the soul. Jingshu can only say, it’s amazing.
Jingshu's eyes narrowed unconsciously. Before the end of the world, she had hesitated whether to buy an RV to use in case of a major earthquake, escape, etc., but this plan was cancelled because the required maintenance and fuel consumption were too expensive. In addition, the price of one or two million for an RV was too high for her to afford.
But if you can now exchange a gasoline RV for a low price, prepare a battery, ask Wu Youai's mentor to help convert it into a hybrid RV, and pay her mentor, will it work?
Oil and natural gas are listed as important national resources by all countries. Even the United States does not open them to the public. You can imagine the value of gasoline. Gasoline cars are basically useless, and gasoline RVs should not be worth much either.
"You should pay attention to this period of time." In the previous life, of course, some people used energy vehicles or even ordinary cars that burned gasoline when migrating, but there were very few RVs. But she had also seen them. These were all upper-class people living in the apocalypse. Jingshu was very excited to think that in this life, she could finally increase the comfort of the apocalypse.
The extremely high temperature continued for a few days and showed no sign of dropping. The government had no time to deal with the people's protests for more water supply because a large number of carrion worms had evolved from the polluted water and had already begun to reproduce in Wucheng.
These overwhelming swarms of carrion bugs have grown much larger, and have a new habit: they like to eat the flesh and blood of living people like mosquitoes.
Oh, mosquitoes at least only suck blood, but the newly evolved carrion beetles like to eat flesh and blood, but they generally don't actively attack people. It's because there is really nothing to eat around them, and their numbers are too large, so if they accidentally crawl into places where people are, they will eat people's flesh and blood.
Maybe it's just a tiny bit at a time, not painful at all.
But according to news reports, there are also incidents in the community. If you fall asleep with your quilt covering you at night, and there is food in your home that is targeted by a group of carrion beetles and has laid many eggs on it, when you wake up the next day you may find that a piece of your flesh is gone, and that piece of flesh will slowly rot.
Then it will attract more and more carrion beetles...
