Chapter Ninety-Six: The Seed of the Last Days
Chen Xin didn't really care much about Qin Lan's worries, with the system in hand, he had the confidence to solve any problem in the face, even if he was not prepared enough, he could solve it by upgrading.
Just like Qin Lan said about the problem of greenhouse warmth, he can raise the greenhouse by one or two levels, so that the greenhouse has a heating function and maintains a certain temperature by itself.
Even according to Chen Xin's plan, he wants to upgrade the shelter as a whole, and the overall improvement of the shelter can be completely upgraded with a heating system when it is upgraded, just like when he upgraded the gate, he added a disinfection room and a maintenance room.
In addition, the mountain itself has a certain thermal insulation effect, so Chen Xin does not have much worry about this.
It's just that he can't just say this to Qin Lan, so he still nodded to Qin Lan and said gratefully: "I know Ah Lan, thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to this problem." ”
"Ah Xin, it's good that you can notice, there is heating equipment at the city bureau shelter, if it doesn't work, I'll go back and talk to the captain, and give you a new set of more powerful ones." Qin Lan took the initiative to provide solutions for Chen Xin.
Although the two broke up, Qin Lan didn't have a bad impression of Chen Xin, and still cared about him as before, but the two were not so close anymore, and they became as if they were just friends.
Chen Xin actually felt the same way about Qin Lan, but the two of them were really not suitable for being together in terms of personality.
But maybe it was because he had become accustomed to caring about Qin Lan before, Chen Xin still said to Qin Lan with concern: "It's not a big problem on my side, but Ah Lan, you have to pay more attention to yourself, you usually go on tasks outside, but now the materials are tight, and you don't have the things like Nuanbao before, you must wear a little more when you go on tasks outside." ”
"Got it, I will." Qin Lan smiled at Chen Xin.
Looking at the familiar but long-lost smile, Chen Xin's heart moved for some reason, and he said to Qin Lan: "Stay and have lunch before leaving, I got a few fish from a friend, I remember Ah Lan, you like to eat chopped pepper fish head the most, but unfortunately I don't have chili pepper here, otherwise I will make you a chopped pepper fish head." ”
Hearing Chen Xin say that there was fish to eat, the expression on Qin Lan's face obviously became surprised: "Ah Xin, you can still get fish?" It's scarce right now! I heard that fish farming was practiced in the underground planting area of the city hall, but the yield was so low that it was impossible to eat at all.
The fish caught before the disaster were also made into canned fish, and the SWAT team was allocated a batch, but the captain said that it was a reserve and no one was allowed to move it. ”
"In that case, then Ah Lan, you should stay and eat." Chen Xin said with a smile to Qin Lan.
Faced with Chen Xin's invitation and the temptation of the long-lost fish, Qin Lan hesitated for a moment but chose to stay.
And Chen Xin saw that Qin Lan agreed to stay for lunch, and also took out his reserves from the storage room, planning to treat her well.
Although there were still only canned pork, luncheon meat, and rat meat, plus his own cabbage, lettuce, and carrots, the addition of a fish still made this lunch extraordinarily luxurious and rare in today's post-apocalyptic environment.
Finding sugar, vinegar and oil from the materials Qin Lan exchanged this time, Chen Xin planned to make a sweet and sour fish.
Although the fish Li Wendong brought were all crucian carp, and crucian carp was not very suitable for sweet and sour fish, Chen Xin still planned to make sweet and sour fish under the existing conditions.
Because Chen Xin remembered that when Qin Lan cooked for him for the first time, he made his favorite sweet and sour carp.
While defrosting the frozen fish in the kitchen sink, Chen Xin put the various seasonings in the cupboard above the stove.
"Ah Lan, can the country still supply salt, sugar, soy sauce, and other things? They should all be discontinued, right? Chen Xin was sorting out these things while chatting with Qin Lan.
"It's okay, although it's relatively scarce, but it's not to the extent that the supply is cut off. The city government grows sugar beets and soybeans and even rice in the underground planting area, and it is still no problem to make sugar, soy sauce and vinegar, but the yield is not high. Hearing Chen Xin's question, Qin Lan naturally answered his question.
Some of this information was heard by Qin Lan when she was on a mission, and some of it was inside information that she saw.
Instead of growing a single crop, the underground farming area that the city has built near the power plant has a complete ecological agricultural system that can produce a variety of crops and can also be further processed.
Although the yield is not high, the variety is still very complete.
Listening to Qin Lan's answer, Chen Xin raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then do they have chili peppers there?" ”
"Of course there is! How can Hunan people not eat chili peppers! Qin Lan's face was taken for granted.
Qin Lan's words made Chen Xin a little excited, and hurriedly asked her, "Can you get me some chili seeds?" It would be nice if soybeans and beets were also available. ”
"Oh, okay, I'll go back and talk to the captain, you should be able to get it." Qin Lan nodded and agreed.
If Chen Xin wants to grow a crop, it may be a little more difficult, but if Chen Xin only wants seeds, it is relatively not difficult to get them.
Although the seeds of crops are now precious, they are useless if they are not cultivated without land, so the value of seeds is relatively lower than that of the crops that come out.
Of course, it's still not something that anyone can get, but if the SWAT team wants to get some, it's fine.
Thinking of the seeds, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the doomsday seed pack he bought before the disaster.
At that time, it was in consideration of the post-disaster planting problem that Chen Xincai bought a complete package of doomsday seeds from the Internet, intending to use it to cope with the dilemma of difficulty in obtaining food after the disaster.
The seed pack contains 80 different kinds of seeds, from common vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce to watermelons and strawberries, and even cherry radish, fruit cucumbers, shallots, and coriander.
It can be said that as long as he has this seed pack, Chen Xin can eat and drink without worrying, and can even build a small ecological garden, using aquaponics and upland rice to meet all his food needs.
In addition to the aquaponics Chen Xin did not consider it, he originally planned to do so, but it is a pity that he bought the seed package through express delivery at that time, and even SF Express, which has the most praise, could not insist on delivering express delivery under the state of martial law.
So his seed packet didn't reach him in the end, and it became a courier that could never be received.
So much so that after the disaster, he was able to grow only three vegetables, cabbage, lettuce and carrots, as well as upland rice.
Fortunately, now Qin Lan said that he could help him get seeds, otherwise, Chen Xin could only consider asking the others who had extra seeds in their hands and go to them to exchange a little.
