Chapter 52: The Harvest
The next morning, when Xingyu and Miya pushed the potato seedlings out of the fire room, they saw that the leaves of the potato seedlings had turned slightly yellow. The two of them knew in their hearts that when the sea light wheel approached the drifting raft, they both jumped into the sea to escape the heat, and the potato seedlings were also smoked at that time. On that day, the two did not dare to let the potato seedlings be exposed to the scorching sun at noon, and before noon, the two pushed the potato seedlings back to the fire room. In the evening, I pushed out the potato seedlings to bask in the twilight sun. The next day, the two of them were relieved to see that the leaves of the potato seedlings did not continue to turn yellow, and they knew that the potato seedlings would be fine. Mia, who had been worried for two days, complained, "What the hell is a light wheel at sea?" It almost ruined all our efforts. Xingyu shrugged and replied: "At present, scientists are not sure what a light wheel at sea is, because no one has taken a picture." Some scientists even believe that this is a collective hallucination of sailors. Therefore, the world only regards the sea light wheel as a legend. I didn't expect to be met by us. Hearing this, Mia was speechless.
The next morning, when Xingyu and Miya pushed the potato seedlings out of the fire room, they saw that the leaves of the potato seedlings had turned slightly yellow to green. At noon, the two no longer pushed the potato seedlings back to the fire room. After a few days of observation, the potatoes were still growing strongly. The two of them let go of their burdens. After three weeks, the two noticed that the potato seedlings were no longer growing upwards. The two guessed that the potatoes were starting to form in the soil.
One afternoon, while the two were fishing, the sky began to darken. The two of them immediately pushed the potato seedlings back to the fire room. Just as they walked towards the hatch of the living module, the two saw a brilliant beauty in the distance. Several rays of sunlight pass through the gaps in the dark clouds, forming several beams of light that shoot towards the sea, and the waves on the surface of the sea reflect a magnificent dazzling light. The two seemed to be in a dream, and Mia exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! At this time, Mia remembered her previous adventure, and teased: "Wouldn't this beautiful scenery also be an adventure?" Xingyu laughed and replied: "Don't underestimate this fantastic scenery, although it is not rare, it is not common!" After listening to this, Miya continued to ask in surprise: "No! This scenery also has a name? Xingyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smug smile: "Haha! What a name! This view is known as the light of God. Westerners believe that this is the holy light, representing the glory of God piercing through the darkness. "In the midst of the dark clouds, the light of God quickly faded. After admiring the wonders of the world, the two hesitated to talk about the light of God as they prepared to divert rainwater into the cistern.
After another two weeks, Xingyu and Miya saw that the leaves of the potato seedlings had turned yellow again. The two of them kept thinking about what had affected the potato seedlings recently, but the two weeks had been calm and nothing special happened. At this time, Xingyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be that the potatoes are ripe?" Xingyu immediately carefully picked up the soil around one of the potato seedlings, and soon dug up a potato the size of a fist. At this point, the two were sure that the potatoes were ripe. The two carefully pulled out the potato seedling, and were surprised to see more than a dozen potatoes hanging from the roots of the potato seedling. Then pull out the rest of the potato seedlings, and there are still more than 10 potatoes in each tree. "Wow! I thought there would only be a few potatoes per potato seedling. I didn't expect there to be so many. Mia looked in amazement at the hill of nearly 100 potatoes stacked on the raft. Xingyu was also in a good mood, and replied with a smile: "There may be more!" There should still be potatoes in the soil. Heungwoo and Mia immediately rummaged through the dirt and looked for the fish that had been caught. As a result in the soil, find a few potatoes. From the experience of potato sprouting, they know that potatoes do not sprout in the dark. Xingyu took the ice bucket, put the potatoes in the ice bucket, and closed the lid of the ice bucket. Potatoes don't sprout without exposure to sunlight. When storing the potatoes, they kept the two most eye-catching potatoes on the mud surface of the planter box. Let the potatoes sprout and then continue planting them.
The next night, Mia cooked a pot of potato and fish soup. The two happily ate the potatoes they had grown, and they felt particularly delicious. Although I have eaten potatoes in the trolley before, I don't know how long I have been putting the adult potatoes, and I always feel strange when I eat them.
Ever since Xingyu saw a small red dot on Mia's leg, Xingyu has been thinking about vitamin C, which is the most difficult vitamin in the sea to obtain. So when eating potatoes, Xingyu asked Miya: "Is there vitamin C in potatoes?" Miya, who already knew that Xingyu was a chemical idiot, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Not only vitamin C, but also rich in minerals!" Potatoes contain 10 times more vitamin C than apples. It's even taller than the red pimple! Hearing Miya say this, Xingyu was finally relieved. Finally, the problem of difficulty in obtaining vitamin C in the sea has been solved. The sweetness of the starch of the potatoes and the umami of the fish made the two people who had been drifting at sea for months happy, and they didn't even drink a drop of soup. At this time, Xingyu found that there were potato skins in the soup residue, and asked in surprise: "Can you eat potato skins?" "I usually eat potatoes and I am used to peeling them, so Xingyu asked. Mia covered her mouth again and smiled and said, "Hehe! Potato skins are rich in chlorogenic acid and lipoic acid. Chlorogenic acid has antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. And lipoic acid can lighten freckles. A girl's favorite. After listening to Miya, Xingyu gave Miya a blank look: "It turned out to be for Aimei!" I saw Miya immediately exclaimed: "Drying on the sea every day, it is easy to get dark spots!" Finally, Heungwoo watched in surprise as Mia ate all the potato skins. Xingyu exclaimed in his heart: "Girls love beauty, and they do everything!" ”
The next morning, Mia cut the potato seedlings and buried them in the mud. Try to let the potato seedlings ferment in the mud to replenish the nutrients of the soil. And the two potatoes that were left to sprout sprouted greenish-white shoots four days later, three days faster than the previous adult potatoes. Xingyu calculated that each person would eat one potato a day. They had to plant 8 potato seedlings to eat a cycle. So when replanting potatoes, Xingyu buried eight potato sprouts in the soil. In fact, one potato is only enough for 45% of the vitamin C that the human body needs for a day, and they still need to supplement vitamin C from fish. The combined portion of the two sides is barely enough for the human body.
