Chapter 52 Rainstorm, Water Hyacinth
After the pool was scrubbed clean, the rain quickly filled the pool.

Avoid stagnant water from being polluted and breeding a large number of parasites.

Everyone searched the entire yacht and finally found all the materials. Under Jiang Linhai's guidance, they sealed the swimming pool.

Jiang Linhai also found some plumbing taps from the warehouse and connected them to the kitchen and bathroom, making water more convenient.

Jiang Linhai turned on the tap, and the water from the swimming pool successfully came out of the kitchen. Jiang Linhai used tools to connect the water to their homemade filter.

The filtered water is so clear that you only need to boil it to drink it.

Electrical appliances cannot be used, there is no clay stove on board, only a carbon stove.

The warehouse has coal and alcohol lumps, as well as fuel oil for yachts.

However, there will always be a day when it runs out.

There are lifeboats and inflatable boats on the yacht. Everyone chopped up the wooden boats that hadn’t been finished before, and kept the other fuel unless it was absolutely necessary.

From time to time, some driftwood will float around the yacht. When the rain is a little less, everyone will pick up the wood in the rain and keep it as fuel reserve.

The flower beds were all planted by grandma with cabbage, leeks, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and strawberries.

Niu Niu handed out the strawberry seeds herself, and looked at the little green shoots eagerly and asked Zhang Qingfang: "Grandma, when will we be able to eat strawberries?"

Except for the cactus fruit that Qin Shen gave last time, she never ate any fruit again.

Zhang Qingfang said with a smile: "It takes about three months from flowering to fruiting. If you take good care of it, Niuniu can eat delicious strawberries in advance."

With bright eyes, Niu Niu said happily, "Then I will help grandma fertilize, water and weed, weed and catch bugs!"

Zhang Qingfang patted her head: "We Niuniu really know a lot, that's great! I won't be hungry in the future."

Niuniu smiled shyly, looked at Lu Zhifeng and said, "Papa taught me all."

If it wasn't for Jiang Si and the others who rescued their father and daughter with the lifeboat, how could he stand safely on the yacht and see Niuniu showing a sunny smile.

Lu Zhifeng regarded Jiang Si's family as life-savers, and said sincerely to Zhang Qingfang: "Aunt Zhang, are we not growing enough vegetables and food? Should we get some soil and expand the area to plant more?"

The yacht is surrounded by transparent tempered glass, and the lighting conditions for growing food and vegetables can be satisfied, and it is indeed possible to grow more.

Zhang Qingfang said with a smile: "Well, when the rain stops, we can dig some fertile soil and hatch some chickens to raise on the boat. From now on, we can often eat eggs."

Jiang Si tried to incubate eggs with an incubator in the space, but there were no living things in the space, and she never succeeded.

Now there are only eggs and no chickens. If you want to hatch chicks, you have to use the old method.

Fortunately, the family members are quite proficient. Use a big cardboard box, put a small cardboard box in it, put cotton around it, and put a hot water bottle under the cotton, put four in total, and put the eggs soaked in sterilized water into the small box , The nest for the chicks is ready.

But this is only the first step. The temperature of the box must be kept at 38 degrees in the first week, and the eggs need to be turned every two hours. On the eighth day, the temperature needs to be lowered to 38 degrees. , the time for turning the eggs is changed to once every three to five hours.

In order to allow the chicks to lay out smoothly, everyone took turns on duty to inspect the dangers, and at the same time, they turned the eggs regularly and regularly.

The first thing Niuniu does when she wakes up every day is to see if the eggs have hatched.

After hatching for seven days in a row, the torrential rain continued, the yacht went down the river, and there was a danger of hitting the rocks at any time. Except for Jiang Si and Qin Shen, no one else knew how to control the yacht. There was one more thing in the usual survival training—— take the helm!
When the rain is too heavy, they still have to hang the sails, which they later modified according to the actual situation of the yacht, imitating the pirate ship in Pirates of Garriby.

In this way, they also have a little more control over the yacht.

The chicks hatched to the second week, and the eggs were placed in the sun, and red blood vessels could be seen faintly, which gradually increased in the next few days.

The yacht sailed along the water and entered the Nancheng area. Finally, the water surface saw dots of green, which were water hyacinths with purple flower clusters.

Water hyacinth was originally a very ornamental plant, because it can purify water quality, so it was introduced to domestic ornamental plants.

However, its fecundity is extremely strong, and once caused the ponds in the river to flood, leaving no room for fish to live, and everyone began to salvage desperately.

When Jiang Si was in elementary school, the Longquan River was also invaded by water hyacinths, but it disappeared soon after.

Shen Baoying saw that the green plants were water hyacinths, and said happily: "Sisi, water hyacinths are a good thing. They can be made into feed and fertilizer, which can be used to feed chickens and save food!"

Zhang Qingfang added: "The flowers and young leaves of water hyacinth are edible, and the taste and taste are the same as that of cabbage. We have not eaten less in those years."

Jiang Linhai said even more excitedly: "Sisi, we can circle an area with floating ropes and grow water hyacinths on the water surface. In the future, there will be an additional wild vegetable."

Lu Zhifeng also said: "Water hyacinth reproduces quickly, and it won't die after a few days when it is caught ashore. If it is washed away, it will grow a lot more after a while. It is really good to use as fertilizer and feed."

Niuniu looked surprised, clapped her hands and said, "Then we must raise it!"

Jiang Si smiled and said: "The water here is too strong, and the yacht has been pouring down. We will raise the yacht when it finds a place to fix it. However, tonight, you can taste how delicious the water hyacinth is."

Everyone copied some water hyacinths with net bags, and specially kept a few that grew particularly well, and kept them in the water basin.

Shen Baoying folded some water hyacinth flowers, wrapped them with egg flour and sprinkled some salt, put them into a thin layer, and fried them in an oil pan. The tempting smell immediately wafted into everyone's nostrils.

The water hyacinth flower fried until golden is like a perfect work of art, served with tomato sauce, it is beautiful and delicious.

Clean the tender stems and leaves of water hyacinth, scald them in boiling water, and rinse them in water to remove most of the bitterness.

Shen Baoying plans to mix one cold and stir-fry the other.

Add shrimp and fungus, add chili oil, sesame oil, ginger, onion and garlic, and mix well.

Finely chop shallots and stir-fry until fragrant, add dried tofu and water hyacinth and stir-fry.

Under Shen Baoying's careful cooking, the three dishes cooked in the pot are all delicious in color, fragrance and taste, which whets the appetite.

Niuniu swallowed her saliva, and praised: "Auntie's cooking skills are really good."

Shen Baoying pinched her chubby face: "Eat more later."

Shen Baoying likes to cook. Now that there are so many people, she cooks four dishes and one soup every meal.

After eating the dishes made of water hyacinth, everyone wants to raise water hyacinth even more.

Niuniu even suggested that more water basins should be put on the boat to raise water hyacinths.

Everyone thought it was okay, and when they were about to put it into action, the yacht was surrounded by water hyacinths unknowingly.
