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

Turn off the heat and add the fried sweet potato cubes.

Let the sweet potato pieces be evenly coated with the syrup and serve. Continue to heat the remaining syrup in the pot. Use chopsticks to coat the sweet potatoes with the syrup and then draw them back and forth on the sweet potatoes on the plate.

The golden sweet potatoes covered in syrup are covered with thin, crystal clear sugar strands.

Zhao Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief. It was easy to fail when drawing silk, but luckily he succeeded without any shame.

In fact, even if she failed, she would let Mu Xi eat it all.

For shredded dishes, you must eat them while they are hot. It is best to stay by the pot and eat them as soon as they are served.

After the dishes were put on the table, Zhao Yeqing hurriedly urged, "Hurry, hurry, hurry."

The golden potato pieces are steaming, and they pull into long strands when picked up.

When you put it under cold water and then eat it, the sugar coating on the outside becomes crispy and sweet.

Sliced ​​sweet potatoes are more like a dessert than a dish. If you eat two pieces after a full meal, it is considered an after-dinner snack.

After being rewarded, the farmer brother put away the dishes and washed the dishes. Zhao Yeqing lay on the bench and looked at the rabbit in the cardboard box.

The female rabbit had given birth. There were seven little rabbits in total. There were no stillborn babies and they were all healthy. Zhao Yeqing tried to poke them gently with his finger.

Hot and soft.

Zhao Yeqing fed some of the freshest cabbages in the vegetable garden to the female rabbit. The male rabbit was isolated when the female rabbit was preparing to give birth.

It wasn't raining now, and it didn't look like it would rain anytime soon. Zhao Yeqing moved the male rabbit back to the rabbit pen.

The collapsed rabbit cage had been repaired by Mu Xi at some point, and Zhao Yeqing filled it with soft grass again.

As soon as she took the rabbit out and put it on the grass, her body temperature rose again after blowing on the electric fan while eating, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

She thought of Mu Xi's house, which only had one room. The lighting in the living room was connected to the power supply. Without a fan, she would wake up from the heat in the middle of the night.

The power supply is not enough to support the operation of two fans. Excluding the power consumption of the mobile phone charging refrigerator and lighting, the power supply is roughly less than one kilowatt hour left every day. One fan consumes half a kilowatt hour of power when turned on for ten hours. In addition to the seven or eight hours spent sleeping, it can also be turned on for two or three hours after finishing work and during meals.

The daily power consumption is strictly controlled. Unless there is a strong sun, it can be replenished at noon, and the replenishment is also relatively slow. If I turn on the electric saw like today, the remaining power is only enough to barely support the freezer, and the fan dare not turn on at night.

It's almost impossible to sleep in this weather without turning on the fan.

Zhao Yeqing fanned the wind with his hands and entered the room. Mu Xi had already finished washing the dishes and was sitting on the bench making paste and snow cakes.

"What degree do you think the temperature is now?"

Mu Xi glanced at his watch, "30 degrees, 36 degrees during the day."

Zhao Yeqing curiously stepped forward to take a look, "Can your watch also read the temperature?"

Mu Xi took off the watch and handed it to her, "Yes, there is a temperature sensor inside, which is not very accurate. Wearing it on your hand will be affected by the surface temperature. Taking it off and letting it sit for a while will make it more accurate."

Zhao Yeqing had never seen anything like this before. He looked through it and saw no charging port, "Isn't it for charging?"

"Solar powered."

After gaining experience, he returned the watch to Mu Xi.

"You said it's 30 degrees in the mountains at night. How many degrees is it in the city?"

Mu Xi looked upward and thought for a moment, "When I came back, it was already 36 degrees in the city during the day. I drove from the city to get around the crack for three days, and then walked for ten days..."

Zhao Yeqing interrupted, "You've been gone for ten days? Where did you start?"

"From the foot of the mountain in H City."

Zhao Yeqing murmured, "The foothills of H City, the middle and back sections of Meishan Mountain, are nearly 400 kilometers away from the top of our mountain..."

She looked up at Mu Xi, "Have you walked 400 kilometers?"

Mu Xi snorted, "What do you think? If it weren't for the many small cracks on the road, I should have arrived a few days earlier. Fortunately, I got there and met a fool who was challenging a wild boar."

Zhao Yeqing heard the other party scolding her for not saying a word to refute. She couldn't imagine what it was like to walk 400 kilometers through deep mountains and forests.

No wonder she was unshaven and black-eyed when she saw him, like a homeless man.

She instantly felt no pity for her little sweet potatoes that had not yet grown up, and her eyes were sore.

Seeing this, Mu Xi hurriedly said, "Don't, your tears are scarier than that wild boar."

This metaphor was indeed very effective in stopping the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

It's completely untouchable.

"Then you've been gone for half a month, and it's been five or six days since you came back here. Twenty days ago it was at least five or six degrees cooler than it is now, and you don't have to turn on the fan at night." Zhao Yeqing counted on his fingers, "Well now in the city it's not allowed to do anything during the day. Is it 41 degrees?”

this...

If everyone is concentrated at the rescue point, using a large motor to generate electricity and turn on the air conditioner, it won't be particularly difficult, but now everything is being rebuilt, and outdoor operations at a high temperature of 41 degrees...

A trace of panic spread in Zhao Yeqing's heart, "Do you think it will be 40 degrees for us now?"

"I can't tell." The look in Mu Xi's eyes was not relaxed. "I see that the temperature rise has slowed down in the past two days, but it is still rising. I won't sleep tonight. If the temperature is low, dig out the ground first."

Zhao Yeqing thinks it makes sense. If the temperature in the mountains reaches that high level in a while, many plants will probably be killed by the heat, and people will not be able to withstand it. Working under high temperatures is very easy to get heat stroke.

The two changed their field work to night work, starting when the sun went down behind the mountains and working until the early morning.

After a week, the paddy field reclamation work was finally completed.

The corn field is still being reclaimed. This is relatively simple and Zhao Yeqing can do it. It is similar to digging a vegetable field.

Mu Xi went to cut down some thick bamboos, split them in the middle, removed the thin top part and the bamboo internode, and put several sections together head to tail to form a long bamboo waterway. .

There is a long hose next to the faucet in the yard at home. It is used by Zhao Yeqing when he needs to water the large vegetable garden. He just connects the faucet and pulls out the hose.

The hose was pulled into the vegetable garden, and the water outlet was placed on the bamboo water channel. When the faucet was turned on, the water flowed into the rice fields along the water channel.

The sun is strong during the day, and the plowed land is dark yellow at first, and turns white after being exposed to the sun. As soon as water enters the field, it is immediately absorbed by the dry soil.

Zhao Yeqing stopped his reclamation work and looked at the fields gradually filling up with water. He seemed to have more confidence in the future in his anxious heart.

Now it doesn't get dark until almost eight o'clock in the evening every day. Mu Xi filled the paddy field, turned off the faucet, and went down the mountain to harvest the few rice grains.

The seedling emergence rate of direct sowing is not high. They don't have much rice to waste, so they plant it by raising seedlings first and then sowing.
