    Chen Xin¡¯s greenhouse can currently harvest more than 2,000 kilograms of vegetables in a month.

    In addition to cabbage and lettuce, there are also carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as peppers, which are indispensable for people in Hunan Province.

    Cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers were planted by Mo Qingyan last month, but there are no results yet. If these crops all bear fruit, the total vegetable output here in Chenxin will reach a higher level.

    So far, the crops grown in the six-layer hydroponic planting tray of Chenxin's greenhouse include two layers of upland rice, one layer each of cabbage, lettuce, and peppers, half a layer of carrots, and a quarter layer each of yellow flowers and tomatoes.

    Among them, cabbage and lettuce can be harvested once a month. They are also the main vegetable output here in Chen Xin, and they are used to exchange a large portion of daily necessities with the SWAT team every month.

    As for carrots, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, they are harvested only every few months. Although most of them are exchanged by Chen Xin for supplies, most of them are stored for his own consumption.

    In addition, some other vegetables and fruits are also planted sporadically in the corners of the greenhouse, as well as the herbs that Chen Xin promised to grow for Hongrui. However, this only occupies a small area in the greenhouse, and the output is almost negligible.  Regardless, it¡¯s just enough for the people in the shelter to try it out for a change.

    But even so, the total vegetable output is more than 2,000 kilograms per month. Even though Chen Xin has expanded the total amount of transactions with the SWAT team and exchanged most of the monthly output for daily necessities, the rest  It¡¯s still a head-scratching weight.

    Although hundreds of kilograms of vegetables can be thrown into a warehouse and stored directly in the freezer at the current low temperature, there will be no problem. However, Chen Xin's warehouse also has other things to store, and not many vegetables can be stored. Once rice and carrots are caught up, they can be harvested.  When the time comes, the warehouse will inevitably be liquidated.

    So it has become inevitable to make fresh vegetables into dehydrated vegetables.

    Dehydrated vegetables are not traditional dried vegetables. There are big differences between the two in terms of processing methods and nutritional value.

    Traditional dried vegetables are dried under the sun for a long time to remove moisture. Because the drying time is too long, the vegetables not only lose their color and moisture, but also lose a lot of nutrients and the tissue structure is destroyed. Even if they are soaked in water, they will not  After recovery, the taste will be very poor when eaten.

    So usually, sun-dried vegetables are not eaten directly, but are pickled and made into secondary processed products such as pickles, pickles or kimchi, which facilitates storage and improves the flavor.

    If you eat it on a daily basis, these pickled dried vegetables are of course a refreshing side dish. They are a very good choice for enriching the dishes, seasoning, and reducing greasiness.

    But if there is a food shortage, long-term consumption of pickles will undoubtedly cause malnutrition and many other physical problems. In this cold apocalyptic environment, it is very detrimental to health.

    Dehydrated vegetables are different, because the vegetables are artificially dehydrated in a short period of time. Both nutrition and taste can be retained to a great extent, and they can be restored to their original appearance as long as they are put in water.  It is easy to store and eat, and is a very good way to store vegetables in apocalyptic situations.

    The method of making dehydrated vegetables is not difficult. After Chen Xin helped Mo Qingyan put the harvested vegetable seeds that needed to be handed over to the SWAT team into the warehouse, he started preparations for making dehydrated vegetables.

    "Ingredients, are you going to cut these vegetables?" Mo Qingyan asked Chen Xin curiously as she watched Chen Xin move the fresh vegetables to the kitchen.

    Chen Xin nodded, took the vegetables out of the plastic box and put them into the sink, turned on the faucet and rinsed them, and replied to Mo Qingyan: "Cut them into strips so they can be preserved. The whole plant is not easy to drain, so it's not easy to drain."  It¡¯s not easy to dry.¡±

    "Then let me help. How do you want to cut it?" After hearing what Chen Xin said, Mo Qingyan took the initiative to help.

    "Can't we just cut it into long strips?" Chen Xin raised his head and looked at Mo Qingyan strangely, and asked with some confusion: "I remember Long Niang, you should have done this, right? Why doesn't it seem like you can't?"  Did you do the same?"

    As a wild survival enthusiast, Mo Qingyan certainly knows how to prepare emergency reserves of dehydrated vegetables, but she doesn¡¯t act like she knows how to do it.

    Facing Chen Xin's question, Mo Qingyan just said a little bit harshly: "I'm not worried that your cooking method is different from what I know! You are an intermediate chef, who knows if you need to adjust the seasoning?  of."

    "Uh" Facing Mo Qingyan's obvious arrogance, Chen Xin could only touch himself.He raised his eyebrows and said: "This is just for making dehydrated vegetables, not dried fruits and vegetables. Why should I make seasonings? But you reminded me that I can make some adjustments next month. Plant less cabbage and lettuce, and add sweet potatoes and  Plant other crops, and then you can make some dried fruits and vegetables to eat.¡±

    "Okay, as you like." Mo Qingyan looked at Chen Xin, and when she heard what he said, she couldn't say anything more.

    Seeing that Mo Qingyan didn't say anything else, Chen Xin turned his attention back to the handling of the vegetables in front of him. He put some of the vegetables in the sink, washed them, and broke them into pieces before saying to Mo Qingyan: "I  The washed vegetables are cut into shreds. The cutting board and kitchen knife are there, so be careful not to cut them with your hands."

    "I know, do I look like the kind of person who knows how to cut vegetables with my hands?" Mo Qingyan replied to Chen Xin, then walked to the stove, took the chopping board and kitchen knife, and put Chen Xin's washed vegetables on  Go to the cutting board and start cutting.

    While cutting vegetables, Mo Qingyan suddenly asked Chen Xin: "By the way, are you and A Lan planning to get back together?"

    "Why are you asking this?" Chen Xin was a little surprised. The question Mo Qingyan asked was obviously beyond his expectation.

    "Huh? Isn't it? You two sleep in the same bed. If you say you don't want to be with A-Lan, then you are a scumbag." Mo Qingyan's attitude was very direct and her words were straightforward.  white.

    "Wellit depends on what A-Lan means. You know the situation back then. I can't say whether she wants to be with me or not." Chen Xin answered with some evasion.

    This answer obviously did not satisfy Mo Qingyan. She yelled at Chen Xin with some dissatisfaction: "You can't tell me what to say? A Lan already sleeps in the same bed with you, and you still ask her to see if she wants to  Are you willing? What do you want from a girl before you think she is willing to be with you? You have to have A-Lan tell you 'we are together' in person, right?"

    "Okay okay, okay, I understand. I will discuss this matter with A-Lan." Chen Xin nodded awkwardly, but while he continued to wash the vegetables, he muttered in a low voice:  "Then what do you mean by living in my house like this?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
