Chen Xin’s planting greenhouse currently has more than 2,000 kilograms of vegetables that can be harvested in one month.

In addition to cabbage and lettuce, there are also carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as chili peppers that are indispensable for Hunanese people.

Cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers were planted by Mo Qingyan last month and have no fruit yet. If these crops have all bear fruit, the total vegetable yield here in Chen Xin will have to go to another level.

So far, Chen Xin planted the crops in the six-story hydroponic planting plate in the greenhouse planting house, including two layers of dry rice, one layer of cabbage, lettuce, and pepper, half a layer of carrot, and one-quarter layer of yellow flowers and tomatoes.

Among them, cabbage and lettuce can be harvested once a month, which is also the main vegetable output of Chen Xin here. It is used to exchange daily necessities with the special police team every month.

As for carrots, peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, they will only be collected once a few months. Although most of them will be exchanged for supplies by Chen Xin, most of them will be stored and eaten by themselves.

In addition, some other vegetables and fruits were planted sporadically at the corners of the greenhouse, as well as herbs that Chen Xin promised to give Hongrui to the plant. However, this only occupied a small area in the planting greenhouse, and the yield was almost negligible, which was enough for the people in the shelter to try it themselves and change their taste.

However, even so, the total output of more than 2,000 kilograms of vegetables per month. Even though Chen Xin and the SWAT team have expanded the total transaction volume and used the majority of the monthly output to exchange for daily necessities, the rest is still a weight that makes people feel that it is too big.

Although hundreds of kilograms of vegetables are thrown into the warehouse and it is no problem to store them directly at the low temperature, Chen Xin's warehouse also needs to load other things and cannot put down many vegetables. Once you catch up with rice and carrots, the warehouse will inevitably have to lose its warehouse.

Therefore, it is inevitable to make fresh vegetables into dehydrated vegetables.

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

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

Therefore, usually, dried vegetables are not eaten directly, but are used to pickle and make them into secondary processing products such as pickles, pickles or pickles, which are easy to store and improve flavor.

If eaten normally, these pickled dried vegetables are of course refreshing side dishes. Rich dishes, seasoning, and degreasing greasiness are very good choices.

However, if you are in the case of food shortage, long-term consumption of pickles will undoubtedly cause many physical problems such as malnutrition, which is very unfavorable for health in this cold and apocalyptic environment.

Dehydrated vegetables are different because they are artificially used to remove moisture from vegetables in a short period of time, and they can be retained to a great extent both nutrition and taste. They can be restored to their original appearance as long as they are put in water. It can be said that they are both easy to store and eat. It is a very good way to store vegetables in the end of the world.

The method of making dehydrated vegetables is not difficult. After Chen Xin helped Mo Qingyan to put the part of the harvested vegetable seeds to the special police team into the warehouse, he began to prepare for making dehydrated vegetables.

"Ingredients, are you going to cut these vegetables?" Mo Qingyan looked at Chen Xin moving the fresh vegetables to the kitchen and asked him curiously.

Chen Xin nodded, took out the vegetables from the plastic box and put them into the pool, and turned on the faucet to rinse, while answering to Mo Qingyan: "Cut it into strips and save it. If the whole plant is not easy to drain or dry it."

"Then I'll help, how do you cut it?" Hearing Chen Xin say this, Mo Qingyan took the initiative to help.

"Isn't it enough to cut it into long strips?" Chen Xin raised his head and looked at Mo Qingyan with some surprise, and asked in confusion: "I remember Long Niang, you should have done this? Why does it seem like you can't do it anymore?"

As a wild survival enthusiast, Mo Qingyan can certainly make emergency reserves such as dehydrated vegetables, but she doesn't look like she can do it.

Facing Chen Xin's question, Mo Qingyan just said a little stubbornly: "I'm worried that your method is different from what I know! You are an intermediate chef, who knows if you still need to make some flavor."

"Uh..." Facing Mo Qingyan's obvious arrogant words, Chen Xin could only touch his eyebrows and said, "This is just making dehydrated vegetables, not dried fruits and vegetables. Why do I need to make seasoning? But you reminded me that you can adjust it next month, plant less cabbage and lettuce, plant sweet potatoes and other crops, and then you can make some dried fruits and vegetables to eat."

"...Okay, it's up to you." Mo Qingyan looked at Chen Xin and heard him say this, it was hard to say anything more.

Seeing that Mo Qingyan didn't say anything, Chen Xin turned his attention back to the treatment of the vegetables in front of him, put some of the vegetables in the pool and cleaned them, and broke them into pieces before saying to Mo Qingyan: "The dishes I washed are cut into shredded vegetables, and the cutting board and kitchen knife are there, be careful not to cut them."

"I understand, am I like the kind of person who can cut vegetables and cut hands?" Mo Qingyan replied to Chen Xin, then walked to the stove, took the chopping board and kitchen knife, put the washed vegetables on the chopping board, and cut them.

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

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

"Hmm? Isn't it? You both 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 very straightforward.

"This... depends on what Alan means. You also understand the situation at that time. I can't say whether she wants to be with me or not." Chen Xin answered a little escaped.

This answer obviously cannot satisfy Mo Qingyan. She shouted at Chen Xin with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Alan has slept with you in the same bed, and she still asked if she is willing? How about you want a girl? You think she is willing to be with you? You have to say to you in person, 'We are together', right?"

"This... OK, OK, I understand. I will talk about this with Alan." Chen Xin nodded awkwardly, but when he continued to wash vegetables, he muttered in a low voice: "What does it mean for you to live in my house like this?"
