Chen Xin actually doesn't care much about Qin Lan's worries. With the system in hand, he has the confidence to solve any problem. Even if he is not well prepared, he can solve it with an upgrade.
Just like what Qin Lan said about the greenhouse heating issue, he could upgrade the greenhouse by one or two levels so that the greenhouse has a heating function and can maintain a certain temperature by itself.
Even according to Chen Xin's plan, he wants to upgrade the shelter as a whole. A heating system can be added to the overall upgraded shelter during the upgrade, just like he added a decontamination room and a maintenance room when upgrading the door.
In addition, the mountain itself has a certain insulation effect, so Chen Xin is not too worried about this.
But he couldn't just say this to Qin Lan, so he nodded to Qin Lan and said gratefully: "I know, Alan. Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to this issue."
"As long as you notice it, Ah Xin. There is heating equipment in the city bureau's shelter. If it doesn't work, I'll go back and talk to the team leader and change it to a more powerful one." Qin Lan took the initiative to provide Chen Xin with a solution.
Although the two broke up, Qin Lan didn't have any bad impression of Chen Xin. She still cared about him as before, but the two were not so close anymore and became as if they were just friends.
Chen Xin actually feels the same way about Qin Lan, but their personalities are really not suitable for being together.
But perhaps because he had become accustomed to caring about Qin Lan before, Chen Xin still expressed concern to Qin Lan: "I don't have a big problem here, but you should pay more attention to yourself, A Lan. You are always performing tasks outside, but now the supplies are tight and there are no more." In the past, you had to wear more warm clothes when performing tasks outside. "
"I know, I will." Qin Lan smiled at Chen Xin.
Looking at the familiar but long-lost smile, Chen Xin felt something in his heart for some reason, and said to Qin Lan: "Let's stay for lunch before leaving. I got some fish from my friends. I remember that you like to eat chopped peppers the most, A Lan." It’s a fish head, but unfortunately I don’t have chili peppers, otherwise I would make you a fish head with chopped peppers.”
Hearing Chen Xin say that there are fish to eat, Qin Lan's expression became obviously surprised: "A Xin, you can still get fish? This thing is very scarce now! I heard that there are fish in the underground planting area of the city government. Fish, but the yield is very low and cannot be eaten 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 for reserve supplies and no one was allowed to touch it. "
"In this case, then Alan, you should stay for dinner." Chen Xin said to Qin Lan with a smile.
Faced with Chen Xin's invitation and the long-lost Yu's love, Qin Lan hesitated but chose to stay.
When Chen Xin saw that Qin Lan agreed to stay for lunch, he also took out his own reserves from the storage room and planned to treat her well.
Although there are still only canned pork, lunch meat and mouse meat plus cabbage, lettuce and carrots he grew himself, the addition of a fish still makes this lunch seem extravagant and rare in today's apocalyptic environment. .
Chen Xin planned to make a sweet and sour fish dish by finding sugar, vinegar and oil from the supplies Qin Lan exchanged this time.
Although the fish Li Wendong brought were all crucian carp, and crucian carp is not suitable for sweet and sour fish, Chen Xin still planned to make sweet and sour fish under the current conditions.
Because Chen Xin remembered the first time Qin Lan cooked for him, he cooked his favorite sweet and sour carp.
While putting the frozen fish into the kitchen sink to defrost, Chen Xin put various seasonings into the cupboard above the stove.
"Alan, can the country still supply salt, sugar, and soy sauce? They should all be discontinued, right?" Chen Xin was sorting out these things while chatting with Qin Lan.
"This is not bad. Although it is relatively scarce, it has not reached the point of cutting off the supply. The city government has planted beets and soybeans in the underground planting area, and even rice. It is still no problem to make sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. , but the output is not high." When Chen Xin asked, Qin Lan answered his question naturally.
Some of this information was heard by Qin Lan while performing tasks, and some was internal information she saw.
The underground planting area built by the city government near the power plant does not only grow a single crop, but has a complete ecological agriculture system that can produce a variety of crops and can also be further processed.
Although the output is not high, the variety is still very complete.
Listening to Qin Lan's answer, Chen Xin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Do they have chili peppers there?"
"Of course! How can Hunan people not eat chili peppers!" Qin Lan said matter-of-factly.
Qin Lan's words made Chen Xin a little excited, and he hurriedly asked her: "Can you get me some pepper seeds? It would be better if there are soybeans and beets too."
"Oh, okay, I'll tell the captain later and we should be able to get it." Qin Lan nodded and agreed.
If Chen Xin wants to grow crops, it may be a little more difficult, but if Chen Xin just wants seeds, it is relatively not difficult to get them.
Although the seeds of crops are now very precious, without land for cultivation, even if there are seeds, they are useless, so relatively speaking, the value of the seeds is a little lower than the harvested crops.
Of course, this is still not something that everyone can get, but if the SWAT team wants to get some, it will be no problem.
Thinking of seeds, Chen Xin couldn't help but regret the doomsday seed packet he bought before the disaster.
At that time, considering the post-disaster planting problem, Chen Xin bought a comprehensive doomsday seed package from the Internet, intending to use it to deal with the difficulty of obtaining food after the disaster.
That seed packet contains eighty different types of seeds, ranging from common vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce to watermelon, strawberry, and even cherry radish, cucumber, green onion, and coriander.
It can be said that as long as he has this seed packet, Chen Xin can not worry about eating and drinking, and can even build a small ecological garden, using aquaponics and upland rice to meet all his food needs.
Except for the fact that Chen Xin did not consider aquaponics, that was his original plan, but it was a pity that he bought the seed packets through express delivery. Even SF Express, which has the most positive reviews, could not insist on delivering express delivery during the national martial law.
Therefore, his seed package was not delivered to him in the end, and it became a courier package that could never be received.
So after the disaster, he was able to grow only three vegetables: cabbage, lettuce and carrots, as well as upland rice.
Fortunately, Qin Lan said that he could get the seeds for himself. Otherwise, Chen Xin could only consider asking other people who had extra seeds and go to them to exchange for some. (End of chapter)
