Chapter 259 Temperature Change
At eight o'clock in the evening, although the sky was still bright, the sun was no longer visible.
Just clip the beeswax cloth to the rope with clips and let it dry for two hours.
In this weather, it’s not enough to just leave it outside to dry, it has to be refrigerated overnight.
It was not until the next day that Zhao Yeqing opened the refrigerator.
Take out the beeswax cloth inside. It has completely cooled and become somewhat hard.
The advantage of beeswax cloth is that it can directly contact food and wrap it to keep it fresh, and the preservation effect is very good.
Because of the material used, it is plastic. After putting the food in the bowl, cover it with a piece of beeswax cloth. Just push the beeswax cloth with your hands and it will fit into the rim of the bowl.
It is also very useful for wrapping vegetables. If you have leftover cabbage, just wrap it with beeswax cloth and pinch it. The slightly hard beeswax cloth will be like a half-melted candle, and will be shaped randomly on the surface of the cabbage, wrapping it tightly.
The preservation and anti-oxidation effect is much better than plastic wrap.
It can be recycled, but it cannot be washed with hot water, which will cause the beeswax to melt, so it is not suitable for raw meat or meat dishes with too much oil.
A piece of cloth can be used for nearly a year. When the oil and wax on the surface become less, brush it with the liquid again and repeat the operation before continuing to use it.

The weather is hot now, but it is not useless.
At least it is extremely efficient when it comes to drying red bricks.
Red bricks that used to take a whole day to dry in the summer now only take half a day.
Now the two of them work together to make red bricks during the day, and prepare to build the surrounding walls at night.
Red bricks can only be used indoors, not even under a shaded eaves, as this would cause heat stroke.
The two men moved the red brick production site to the breeding basement, which was more spacious than the planting basement because there was no need to build walls with red bricks and there was no limitation on the range of the planting lights. Mu Xi dug the space below as wide as possible.
I thought I could move it down if I needed to store something later.
After the red bricks are made in the basement, they are dragged to the outside of the door on boards to dry in the sun.
Several ventilation holes were made in the breeding basement, but the exhaust fan had not been moved back in time, so there was inevitably some smell inside.
But the temperature underground is only over 30 degrees. It doesn't matter if it's a little smelly. You'll get used to it after a while.
In order to connect the exhaust fan later, the wires had already been pulled out. After connecting to the socket, the two of them also moved the air-conditioning fan down.
By speeding up the air circulation inside, it will not be so smelly and the temperature can be lowered a bit.
The temperature was so comfortable that Zhao Yeqing wished he could move down and sleep with the cattle and sheep.
There were too many red bricks, and the two people were so bent over to carve the red bricks that they couldn't straighten their backs.
Zhao Yeqing said: "The corridor between the toilet and bathroom is too long. Why not rebuild a toilet and bathroom behind the brick house?"
Now the land used to grow sweet potato after raising rabbits is vacant. If it doesn't work out, we can rebuild there. Although the workload is about the same as that of the corridor, it saves the trouble of reinforcing the original red bricks on the outside of the toilet and bathroom.
Still close.
Mu Xi also considered this, "But if we do this, we will have to knock down the original toilet and install it again. I don't know if it can still be used. The septic tank will be closer to the brick house and flush with the basement after it is dug out."
Zhao Yeqing thought about it and sighed, "Forget it, let's just build a corridor."
If it weren't for the bad weather, Mu Xi's original idea was to demolish the hay house, move the toilet and bathroom to the location of the hay house, rebuild the hay house outside the yard, and expand the courtyard wall.
But it’s too hot now, so we can only wait until next year.
Both of them were subconsciously prepared to endure the high temperature for a long time.
But this bad weather once again surprised both of them.
Zhao Yeqing and Mu Xi spent a month making red bricks and had already built a 'shell' on the outside of the original house.
A lot of tiles were burned to replace the original dilapidated roof, and red bricks were used to reinforce the bottom of the tiles to prevent it from collapsing under heavy snow.
Just after finishing all this, I was about to start building the aisle.
When they got up early in the morning, they thought they had read the time wrong as it was dark outside. But Zhao Yeqing took out his cell phone and took a look.
7:30 minutes.
The two looked at each other and both felt that it was too abnormal. In the past, it would have been dawn by this time. There was still something vaguely wrong, but the two had just woken up and their minds were so fuzzy that they couldn't tell what was going on.
When the dogs saw them wake up, they came over happily wagging their tails to ask for food.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the dog and suddenly realized what was going on.
What's wrong is the temperature!
In the past, dogs were listless at this time and had no energy to eat because the weather was too hot.
But the air conditioner was clearly not on, and the temperature they felt was only around 40 degrees.
Mu Xi looked at the gloomy scene outside the window and always felt that a storm was about to come.
It turned out that his feeling was not wrong. The wind outside the window gradually grew stronger. After the two of them finished washing up and completing their morning routine work, they truly felt what it meant to have a changing world.
The dark clouds above were blown up quickly by the wind, and the speed of their flow and change was like a scene from a disaster movie played at five times the speed.
The clouds in the sky flow, stack, curl... and finally pile up thickly together.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the entire meadow seemed to be covered by black and gray clouds. The scene in front of us made people feel suffocated just by looking at it.
Soon, the wind died down a little, and after the two of them moved all the mung bean stalks and hay that were left in the yard into the house and the basement...
Zhao Yeqing saw again the fist-sized hail that he had seen in Meishan in his first year.
Big hailstones mercilessly hit the newly laid roof tiles. Zhao Yeqing felt heartbroken as he listened to the crisp cracking sound above his head.
The original intention of laying tiles was to provide an extra layer of insulation, but unexpectedly they were all destroyed by hail before they were even used.
Fortunately, the two of them did not slack off before and reinforced the roof with red bricks under the tiles, otherwise the roof would probably have been smashed through by now.
Hail is formed by the collision of cold and warm air.
Mu Xi pondered and said, "It is estimated that the temperature will continue to drop after the hail. This temperature drop came too suddenly. I don't know if it will be beyond our expectations."
The temperature difference suddenly widened to nearly 20 degrees, which is indeed not normal.
Zhao Yeqing recalled the documentary about the extinction of the century that he had watched before. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was undergoing tremendous changes in different periods. There was a time when the entire earth turned into a high-temperature fireball, and there was also a time when the entire earth turned into an icy world of ice and snow.
She originally thought that this matter should not have much to do with her, after all, the time span of each incident was huge.
But everything that is happening now is beyond human expectations.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the sky outside the window, which was almost as dark as midnight, and suddenly felt as if his throat was being strangled and suffocated.
