doomed [last days]

When Lin Shen was walking back with the refrigerator, he found the bookstore by the side of the road.Compared with the already cluttered supermarket, the inside of this bookstore is much neater. At least the books that have been dusted on the shelves have not been looted.

Except for that book, Lin Shen almost swept away all the agricultural books, and she also took a few novels at random, which can be used to entertain her boredom when she is free.

However, having the support of theory does not mean once and for all.Lin Shen drove around the city, trying to find a store selling seeds, but was disappointed.And back and forth, after moving supplies from shopping malls and bookstores a few times, it was already halfway through the afternoon.In order not to worry Shi Yiran, she didn't continue, but chose to drive up the mountain.

The two of them took the things that Lin Shen brought back from the car, put the food in the kitchen, and put the food in the main house. After locking the iron door and the kitchen door, they started to light the fire and prepare dinner.

Even if Lin Shen didn't get back so much food, Shi Yiran didn't intend to wrong her.She was tired all day, and she had to cook something delicious to reward her.

Drinking the long-lost broth, Lin Shen narrowed his eyes so happy that Shi Yiran also bent his mouth, and the irritability and worries that had been lingering in his heart all day were swept away.

Among the books Lin Shen brought back, one was about making plant seeds.Shi Yiran flipped through and found that the tomato seeds she picked out did not meet the requirements at all.But the picks were all picked out, and they couldn't be wasted, so the next day, she simply sifted out the tomato seeds soaked in the water with a strainer, and dried them in the sun.Then I started to cut a tomato again according to the steps in the book.

While she was busy studying these, Lin Shen was already walking up the hillside along the small dirt road with the ax left by the forest ranger, intending to pick up some dry firewood.She didn't go too far, and honestly followed the path stepped on by her predecessors, and occasionally deviated a bit just to collect firewood.

The forest ranger station is close to the hilltop in the west, the sun is hot, and the water vapor evaporates quickly, so the trees in the forest are sparse compared with the hilltop in the east.

The ginkgo trees mainly grow on the opposite mountain. While collecting firewood, Lin Shen observed what kind of tree species there were, and finally let her find some treasures.

Looking at the tender green leaves, Lin Shen checked carefully, and found that there were six pairs of leaves on this branch. She picked one off and smelled it, and she was sure that it was Chinese toon, not Ailanthus sinensis.

When she was young, a Chinese toon tree was planted at home. At first, she couldn't bear the smell, and couldn't resist her parents' favorite food. Over time, Lin Shen could recognize what a Chinese toon was, and she could eat it accordingly.

It is said that Chinese toon sprouts are the most tender around Guyu, so Lin Shen picked some tender sprouts and planned to go back at noon to make Chinese toon salad.

Besides the toon tree, she also found a jujube tree and an apricot tree.The jujube tree has just bloomed, and the yellow-green jujube flowers are clustered on the branches, while the apricot tree has already hung green fruits, waiting to turn into yellow-red apricots in a few days.

There must be more than one or two fruit trees in the mountains, but the fruits are not yet ripe, and Lin Shen didn't plan to continue searching today. Instead, he noted down the location of these two trees and started walking back.

When she returned to the forest ranger station, Shi Yiran had already put the dug out tomato pulp mixed with seeds into a plastic bottle, sealed it with plastic wrap, pierced a few holes, and placed it in the corner of the kitchen.

Lin Shen put the firewood he picked up into the kitchen, and when he came out again, Shi Yiran had already filled a basin of water and started washing the handful of toon buds she had picked back.

"We don't have any eggs, just a cold salad." Lin Shen walked over and suggested.

She entered the warehouse of the supermarket yesterday. Unlike the warehouse in the hospital cafeteria, the warehouse of the supermarket was not locked, and it looked like it had been robbed.The eggs were long gone, and she just dug out a carton of pork in the corner of the freezer.

Shi Yiran nodded, and after taking out the toon sprouts, she threw the water on the open space and said, "There is rice steaming in the pot, you go and wash your hands, I'll make the toon sprouts."

She pointed to the hanging pot that was steaming by the fire. If there is no rice cooker, then use the old method to steam rice.After washing the small pot, wash the rice and add water, put it into the hanging pot that has been filled with water, and lick the bottom of the pot by the ignited flame.

Seeing Lin Shen's answer, Shi Yiran walked into the kitchen with the toon buds.

After boiling water in the small electric pot that Lin Shen found, Shi Yiran began to process the washed Chinese toon sprouts.Remove the old roots, and when the water in the pot boils, throw the Chinese toon sprouts directly into the pot.After blanching in boiling water for 2 minutes, take the scalded Chinese toon sprouts out with a colander.The toon buds that were originally red have turned green. After passing through the cold water, Shi Yiran chopped the toon buds, added a little salt, light soy sauce, and sesame oil to them, and mixed them slightly, and it became A plate of cold toon.

They set up a small table in the yard, and when Shi Yiran walked out with the dishes, Lin Shen was taking down the hanging pot.

The rice inside has already been steamed, and the plump rice grains are squeezed together, which is really attractive.

Lin Shen only found a 5kg bag of rice, and Shi Yiran didn't use much when steaming the rice.The rice sold in the store is all the endosperm in the processed rice seeds, which cannot be directly planted in the ground, so they don't have a steady supply, so they have to eat sparingly.

But even a small bowl of rice with toon sprouts can be considered a delicacy at this time.

After lunch, without much rest, Lin Shen started to work again.

She found two baby bathtubs in the supermarket. They were very big and crude, just bigger plastic basins.She took one out, poked a small hole in the side pelvic floor with a tactical knife, and inserted the plastic hose she found into it.Tear off two pieces of plastic wrap, and wrap the hoses on both sides of the small hole respectively. The plastic wrap is firmly attached to both sides of the bathtub, which can at least slightly prevent leaks.

"After it's done, let's connect some water and dry it on the roof." Lin Shen picked up the faucet on the side, unpacked it, and gestured with the hose, "After the sun is hot, you can take a hot bath gone."

A long time ago, in rural areas, water bags would be dried on the roof. The water bag was connected to a simple water outlet switch, which was equivalent to a "water heater" with a shower.

Lin Shen doesn't know how to install a shower, but he can put the hose on the faucet. When the time comes, hold the side of the faucet with one hand and turn on the faucet to take a shower.

"Will it leak if you only use plastic wrap?" Shi Yiran asked thoughtfully, "Shouldn't it be a problem if the tube is a centimeter shorter?"

"It's okay, I may have to cut a large part later."

Lin Shen reckoned that the house was only three or four meters high, and she planned to turn the corner of the main house next to the window into a "bathroom".A four-meter-long hose protrudes from the window, and it must not fall directly to the ground, so the hose must be cut. As for how long to cut, you have to try it out.

Hearing what she said, Shi Yiran nodded and said, "Then you insert this pipe into the basin again. It's made of plastic. After it's melted, it's fixed on the bottom of the basin so that the pipe won't be accidentally pulled down. .”

In this way, the gap is also blocked by the burned hose, which can not only play a fixed role, but also prevent leakage.

After listening to Lin Shen, she seemed to be enlightened. She moved very quickly, found a small wooden stick, wrapped it in a rag, dipped it in some diesel oil poured from an oil drum, and lit the wrapped stick. The end of the cloth.

Diesel is flammable and catches fire very quickly.

Shi Yiran held the tub, exposing the short piece of hose inserted into the tub.Lin Shen directly took the torch and burned it there. Watching the hose being swallowed by the flames and slowly shrinking back, she quickly pressed the melted hose on the bathtub.

"Be careful!" She moved so fast that Shi Yiran's heart skipped a beat.

"It's all right," Lin Shen said with a smile, "Isn't there a piece of cloth on it?"

After she finished speaking, she removed the piece of cloth on which it was placed. The melted plastic had already dried there, and it was firmly stuck to the top of the bathtub. Looking from the front, there was only a black border around the small hole.

Lin Shen was a little fortunate that the hose she was looking for was not a particularly high-temperature-resistant one, and it melted after a few flicks, so the bathtub with only one hole poked was only slightly deformed, and it was not a hindrance.

After it was done, the two of them checked it carefully together again.The hoses were not scalded and the tub was not leaking.After checking, Lin Shen held the bathtub in one hand and climbed up to the roof with the ladder in the other.

The end of the tub with the hose sticks out from the edge of the room, with only one end sticking out.Shi Yiran held the hose below, gestured, and roughly determined how much to cut, before Lin Shen came down from the roof.

She stood below and tugged at the hose, and she directly pulled the bathtub on the edge of the room.

After catching the bathtub, Lin Shen looked at Shi Yiran's angry face, stuck out his tongue, and started cutting the pipes and fixing the faucet.

Shi Yiran stood aside and watched, with a pampering look on her face that she didn't realize.She found that after settling here, Lin Shen became more and more like a child, she became happier, and she became happier.

Just when she was distracted, Lin Shen had already installed the faucet, and went outside to pick up a stone, washed it with water several times, and put the stone into the bathtub when the dirt could no longer be washed away.

Put the tub on the roof again, the rock is holding down the side inside, so the tub shouldn't fall if the hose isn't pulled on purpose.

Holding the steel chain with hooks removed from the hanging pot bracket, Lin Shen lifted pots of water to the roof, and he did not know how many times he lifted the tub to fill it up.

If she just left it in the sun, she was worried that some leaves and flying insects would fall into it, so she took tape and put together several plastic bags to cover the tub, and took a few stones to press the corners .

This is the "water heater" done.

The glass in the main house is originally frosted glass, so there is no need to worry about it being exposed.But because the hose is going to go in, there is still a gap left.Lin Shen stuck the tape to the seam, covering the inside and outside of the house.The hose protruded from the middle and got stuck in the seam, and the faucet was placed on the window sill in the house.Another tub is leaning against the wall. When they take a bath, put it on the ground and step in it.

Shi Yiran stood beside Lin Shen, squeezed the hose that had already been filled with water, and said hesitantly: "When the time comes, there will be water in the basin, step in directly..."

Imagining that scene, Shi Yiran felt a little physically uncomfortable, but she couldn't let the bath water flow all over the room.

Lin Shen seemed to have expected it a long time ago, raised his brows, and said proudly: "This is easy to handle, and you will definitely not let you step into the water."
