Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Generally, vegetables are grown indoors, either in pots or hydroponics.

Hydroponic green leafy vegetables are okay, but tomatoes, peppers and the like are not easy to operate.

Planting pots have many disadvantages. Drainage problems and limited soil mean that no matter how carefully maintained, they are not as nutritious as vegetables grown on the ground.

If you can build a vegetable cultivation room underground, you can not only maintain the advantages of growing vegetables on the ground, but also avoid direct exposure to high temperatures.

Nowadays, the sun's rays are strong, and the electricity we get every day is enough to maintain the daily electricity consumption of plant lights, refrigerators and home lights.

Lighting, support and planting can all be controlled by two people. The only problem that is difficult to solve is the water seepage problem.

The underground of the meadow is already rich in water. The most troublesome issue is the location selection. The two of them have almost zero experience in this area.

Finding water sources in the mountains can also be found based on the growth of vegetation on the ground, but finding underground water is not that simple, and there is not much time left for the two of them.

Now the temperature is rising every day, and it takes time to dig a basement, and construction work has to be carried out, so time is not very rich.

The two could only work overtime to look through the books and materials at home and the original owner's notes to see if there was any useful knowledge.

On the straw mat on the floor of the room, there were various books and notes in front of them, but they still found nothing.

"I've looked through all this, but I haven't seen any relevant records."

Zhao Yeqing was lying on the ground, rubbing his Jingming point with his hands to do eye exercises.

Her eyes were sore and swollen after reading so many books, especially some professional planting and breeding books. She knew every word in them, but she couldn't understand them all together.

Mu Xi couldn't find any useful information, so he put down the book in his hand, fanned Zhao Yeqing with his other hand, and said:

"If it doesn't work, just dig. Didn't the original owner also dig a small cellar? Maybe this is the location he inspected, so we can dig next to it."

"But there is also a well. What do you mean?"

Mu Xi said, "This cellar is on the right, and the well is on the left side of the center. Let's dig another one on the right side of this cellar, farther away from the well. Maybe we can dig it right."

Although I don’t know why this cellar was dug in the backyard, that place is obviously not far from the well, but there seems to be no other way except digging next to the original owner’s cellar.

Zhao Yeqing could only comfort himself. Sometimes old people must have their reasons for doing this.

She nodded, "Then dig."

At worst, if you dig it out and find water seepage, then fill it back in again.

The basement cannot be opened in the yard. The yard is not big enough, so the entrance to the basement can only be opened in the yard, and the basement is outside the yard.

The two made a drawing. The entrance was at the back of the small brick house. A square hole was opened from the entrance and a stairway was built diagonally downward to extend out of the yard.

The size of the basement is planned according to the illumination range of the planting lights, which is about 15 square meters. The surrounding walls are filled with red bricks and stainless steel pipes are used as supports around it.

The two discussed for a while that the supports should be made of wood and the stainless steel pipes should be saved first to avoid having to use them later.

Zhao Yeqing thought carefully about the pros and cons and said:

"If you still use ground planting for underground planting, there is another problem that is more troublesome, that is, the soil is not exposed to sunlight, and it is easy to stay in a moist state for a long time, causing the roots of the plants to rot. After all, planting lights can only provide light, not Dry the soil.”

She re-planned the basement frame structure on paper.

"I thought that after using stainless steel pipes to build the surroundings, I would first seal the top with PC boards. Stainless steel pipes are more maneuverable and can be used to make a tighter slot for the boards to be stuck in, making it movable. It can be taken off at any time.”

Mu Xi looked at the drawings that were gradually taking shape in her hands, and became convinced, "You mean, use a translucent board to cover the top, and when it is not so hot, you can remove the board and let the sunlight shine in for a period of time. It’s like a germ room.”

"That's right." Zhao Yeqing continued,

"In this way, we have more controllability. When it is not too hot, we can open the board to let the plants receive natural light. When it is generally hot, such as raining, we can cover the board and let the plants receive light through the board. When it rains, solar energy The power supply of the board is reduced, which can also reduce the power burden through irradiation."

"Then the temperature underground will become higher, right?"

"It can be covered with soil." She brought in the PC board and tapped it with her hand. "Although the load-bearing capacity of this board is average, it can be covered with five centimeters of pure soil without any problem. With a layer of covering soil, the underground temperature will be the highest. It won’t be more than thirty degrees.”

After hearing this, Mu Xi unconsciously put his palm on Zhao Yeqing's head and rubbed it, "Why is it so powerful?"

Zhao Yeqing stuffed the blueprint into his arms and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Mu Xi took the drawing but did not agree. Instead, he put the drawing down, picked up the pen and said:

"The pillars don't need to be made of stainless steel. Wooden pillars are used for the lower support. The upper steel pipe can be directly stuck inside. To make a mortise and tenon mechanism, you don't even need a nail. Your brother still has this skill."

When Zhao Yeqing heard these narcissistic words, a sly smile appeared in her eyes. She imitated Mu Xi's actions just now, stood up on tiptoes and rubbed his head, saying, "Brother is so powerful."

What he said about his brother and what Zhao Yeqing said about his brother were different.

Mu Xi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and Zhao Yeqing thought something bad was wrong. She remembered a certain rubber product they accidentally found when they were collecting supplies in the tourist area, and she arrived at the door of the room in one quick step.

"I'm going to cook first!"

The two of them were looking for information at home and didn't cook properly in the past two days. They originally wanted to eat a few delicious meals made with tofu, but in the end the tofu became a side dish for cooking noodles.

Zhao Yeqing took out a piece of cold white cabbage and planned to make a good meal with tofu tonight.

Zhao Yeqing stir-fried the leftover tofu residue from making tofu and ate a meal. There was still a lot left. He chopped up a radish and mixed it with green onions and tofu residue. He kneaded it into small balls and threw them into the oil pan. fry.

Cut the tofu into slices, wrap it in egg liquid and fry it until golden brown, and pour it with salty gravy. It would be great if there is pork, and it will be more fragrant with some minced pork.

Zhao Yeqing thought about eating the tofu with sauce on top of rice, with croquettes, and a light soup to balance the taste.

She went to the yard and cut off the cucumber that Mu Xi had hidden in the shelf when it rained. The small cucumber that was only finger-long before had now grown long and fat.

Cut into slices and cook with tofu in soup.

The refreshing and non-greasy cucumber and tofu soup is delicious even when it's cold.

The two had a hearty meal, and after the sun set, they started digging the basement.
