MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 173 fell again
The pungent smell rushes into the nostrils and rises to the forehead along with the breath, which made Wei Xuan turn his head and sneezed.
The taste smells familiar and hopefully the texture is as familiar as ever.
Wei Xuan has a lot of dried chili peppers in his home. After all, this stuff is very durable, and almost every store and small store has a lot of them. But fresh green peppers and red peppers have completely disappeared with the arrival of the end of the world. It may be difficult for this most common seasoning and vegetable to appear in this world in the future.
Fortunately, now Wei Xuan has planted them again.
After cutting off a short section, Wei Xuan took a deep breath, and then threw it into his mouth. Before the end of the world, he was not a person who could eat spicy food, and the spiciness of normal tastes was fine, but he could only be indifferent to some flavors that were so spicy that people's tongues were numb, their minds were lax, and they were sweating all over their bodies.
Chili peppers can be eaten directly whether they are raw, cooked, or dried. In addition, they are grown at home, and no pesticides or chemical fertilizers were used during the planting process. Naturally, there is no harm in eating raw peppers. reaction.
I threw it into my mouth and chewed it. Fortunately, although it was spicy, it was not unbearable. It seems that the pepper seeds sold with flower seeds are not too pungent, so that people who grow it as an ornamental plant will have problems eating it.
After tasting the taste, Wei Xuan felt at ease, thinking about what else he could make with fresh Chaotian peppers besides saving a few seeds for future cultivation?
To be honest, because Wei Xuan didn't have any testing equipment in his hands - he wouldn't know how to use it, and even if he got the analysis result, it didn't necessarily guide the meaning of the result. So I used to worry about whether I would plant some poisonous crops to poison myself to death, but think about it carefully, even if these pre-apocalyptic crops have undergone apocalyptic changes, I just planted them in clean water. Under such circumstances, where can they absorb toxic substances and become poisonous crops?
If any plant wants to contain toxins, it has to absorb and store them from the surrounding environment. If they can produce toxins in the current situation where they are almost isolated from the outside world, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Besides, every time Wei Xuan harvested the fruits of the crops, he would taste a little bit by himself first, so that even if there might be problems, if there is only a little bit, it will not poison people to death under normal circumstances.
While thinking about the recipe for a while, Wei Xuan walked back to the living room, picked out the Chaotian peppers, and left two very plump ones with a lot of pepper seeds in them for planting, and then took the rest Back to the kitchen again.
Fried pork with chili! Although Wei Xuan only grows Chaotian pepper now, it's better than frying with dried chili, right?
After choosing the recipe, Wei Xuan was very happy. This dish is very good to eat with rice, not to mention the taste of Chaotian pepper is stronger than that of green pepper? This is the most cost-effective way to do meat dishes when there is less and less bird meat left!
A spicy and wanton lunch made Wei Xuan break out in sweat. After eating and drinking, he satisfactorily leaned on Du Hang's body to cultivate his digestion. After he felt able to move, he got up and began to pack the pile of harvest before the meal.
The seeds of various crops in the home have basically been planted by Wei Xuan once in turn. At this time, there are still some grains in the planter that have not been harvested, and Wei Xuan only has various fruits and flowers in his hands. Grass seeds.
After thinking about it, Wei Xuan decided to try to germinate and cultivate some relatively small fruits. It's just that no matter how small the fruit grows, it cannot be accommodated in the planter after it grows. Wei Xuan decided to use machines to raise seedlings for them first, and then transfer the raised fruits to the balcony of a certain room on the top floor, and use large flowerpots and other things to plant them specially.
When Wei Xuan was doing experiments before, he could use snow water to irrigate the vegetables transplanted into flower pots and planting pens. Although the growth speed of the vegetables planted in this way was much slower than that planted in the planter, it was not the same. Can't grow at all.
Then I can use snow water to cover these transplanted fruits in the soil every day. I think no matter how slow the growth is, I will be able to see them bloom and bear fruit one day, right?
"But in this way, no matter how big those fruit plants will grow in the future, you don't have to worry about them at the germination stage, right?" Wei Xuan patted his forehead, and felt that he was definitely being stimulated and stupid these two days, and he was going to transplant them anyway. However, the role of the planter is just to help raise the seedlings. So it doesn't matter how big they grow in the future...does it matter?
Having figured it out, Wei Xuan stopped being entangled. He first moved the various crops and fruits harvested today to a room in the same building that was not used for much, and spread a layer of plastic sheeting and a layer of newspaper on the balcony. , scattered the grains by category on top to dry, and by the way, put small signs with the names of different fruits beside them.
These grains can only be molted and stored after being completely dried in the sun. Whether it is to cook them to taste the taste, or to store them for a long time as seeds for cultivation, it is good.
Afterwards, Wei Weixuan went to tinker with the fruit seeds stored at home after finishing today's newly harvested crops, picking out one by one, and putting them into the planter by category to wait for germination.
After planting these fruit seeds, Wei Xuan didn't bother with other seeds. Although he was a little curious about what kind of crops could be grown from those flower seeds at home? But thinking about the mutated plants that occasionally appear in urban areas, it's better to give up.
As I said before, Wei Xuan feels that it is very difficult for ordinary crops to mutate into poisonous plants after the apocalypse. Similarly, edible crops and artificially cultivated fruit plants should not be prone to aggressive mutant plants. . But those ornamental flowers and plants are hard to say.
After all, the last time Wei Xuan encountered mutated plants was near the green belt before the end of the world. Although he had never encountered mutated plants in City T since then, he had heard of them a lot in his previous life. According to his previous life According to some knowledge and experience, these things are likely to be mutated from some ornamental and green plants, or simply some wild plants.
After drying all the things that need to be dried and soaking all the things that should germinate in the container, Wei Xuan wandered around the room twice, and then turned his attention to other places - "I have to make some preparations for the winter..."
It is only mid-September, and even though Qiuhu is reluctant to let go, the weather is still getting colder in the morning and evening.
Last winter, because there were enough solar batteries and electric heaters at home, this winter was very good. In addition, his body has some minor problems, and he is not so sensitive to the temperature and temperature of the outside world, so there is no problem in the first winter.
It's just that Wei Xuan is thinking about the future at this time, first putting aside the problem of becoming a zombie, and only saying that the electrical equipment in the home always has a service life, if these things are broken, they will be counted in the future. The equipment that can get energy conversion is also available with electric radiators, right? After all these things are broken, what to do with the warmth of the home?
Even if the doors and windows of the house are closed, it will still be very cold in winter without heating equipment. In this way, he might as well prepare to thicken the insulation layer of the room as soon as possible.
That's right, he's planning to use polyurethane foam to add another layer of insulation to his walls.
As mentioned before, the concept of "insulation" does not just refer to maintaining high temperature or low temperature, but both. If you use this thing to paste another layer on the wall of your own house, the house where Wei Xuan lives will naturally become warm in winter and cool in summer, able to isolate the severe cold and heat. No matter how the weather changes in the future, as long as he has the means to maintain the temperature in the room, he naturally doesn't have to worry about future temperature changes.
He didn't use much spray polyurethane foam when he built the ice room before, and even if he remodels the house now, there will be no problems at all!
And there are still quite a few in that factory, and he can take his younger brothers to go again after using them up—the only thing he needs to worry about is to be careful not to meet those zombies.
Thinking of this, Wei Xuan, who became excited again, pulled Du Hang around the room, then probed out to check the outer wall carefully, then sat at the table and began to write and draw, and planned the house renovation work in the future.
His physical strength hasn't recovered yet. Now he just uses his brain and doesn't need physical work. When he gets tired from drawing drawings, Wei Xuan simply hugs Du Hang's waist and goes to bed together to rest.
The next morning, Wei Xuan woke up feeling much better than the previous few days. Without those annoying resentments and thoughts, Wei Xuan felt refreshed.
Get up, wash up. After returning from the bathroom, I accidentally scanned something on the cabinet next to the bathroom, and then suddenly realized that because of the arrival of the convoy, I had completely forgotten about this matter in the past few days...
Picking up the infrared thermometer placed on the cabinet, Wei Xuan pointed it at himself with some helplessness. They all said that a habit can be formed in 21 days, but once some unexpected situations happen, some habits can't be used. Not forced to terminate.
There was a sound of "beep", and Wei Xuan turned around the gun-shaped thing in his hand while complaining to himself, his eyes swept to the screen, and then he froze in place...
He remembered that his body temperature was still around 28 degrees when he measured it two days ago, and now... why did it suddenly become 26 degrees? !
Two degrees, the body temperature dropped by two degrees! This change is much more exaggerated than the change of a few tenths of a degree, or even a degree!
He hasn't measured it for three or four days, and his body temperature has dropped by two degrees. Does it mean that if he doesn't measure it for a month or two, his body temperature will become zero by then? !
