Chapter 258 Making a Small Freezer

Jiang Zhinuan almost stayed up all night, after breakfast he casually told Di Qing a few words, and then went to the house to catch up on sleep.

She fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon.

Maybe it's because she's been tired all this time, she hasn't had such a solid and long sleep for a long time. A vegetarian dish, still steaming, smells and tastes pretty good.

Jiang Zhinuan's stomach was rumbling with hunger, but for her own weight loss cause, she only ate half of the rice, and the vegetarian dishes were clear and refreshing, so she had no taboos and ate them all.

When he came to the yard, Jiang Zhinuan looked up, and the sun had already set.

Di Qing was busy in the kitchen. It seemed that he had already started making dinner, so Jiang Zhinuan stretched his waist and walked over.

"It's so late, why didn't you call me?"

Di Qing sat in a wheelchair with his back facing Jiang Zhinuan choosing dishes, and did not answer, but An Bao and Ning Bao, who was riding a wooden horse in the yard, rushed to speak first: "Mother, Daddy said that you are too tired, so don't let us disturb you. Let you sleep well."

Jiang Zhinuan knew that it was Di Qing who cared about her, so he felt sweet in his heart.

She leaned forward again: "Where's Brother Shuangzhu?"

"Uncle Shuangzhu came back to sleep in the morning, went up the mountain after lunch, and said he was going to collect beehives."

It was An Bao who answered her again. Di Qing didn't seem to have any intention of speaking. Jiang Zhinuan felt a little strange and wanted to go up to have a look, but as soon as she turned around, Di Qing turned the wheelchair to the other side, holding his hand. I put the dishes I chose in the wooden basin to wash.

Jiang Zhinuan followed Di Qing's head and looked at it for a while. When she turned to the basement, Jiang Zhinuan suddenly remembered something, and she slapped her forehead heavily: "Oh, why did I forget the ice cubes!"

The dozen or so ice cubes brought back yesterday were still thrown in the basement, and the cotton-padded quilt that Zhang Quan brought her yesterday was also thrown in there, but they hadn't had time to clean it up yet.

Right now she couldn't care about Di Qing anymore, so she lit a lantern and rushed into the basement.

The ice cubes had already melted a little and wet the ground a lot. Jiang Zhinuan hung the lantern on a high place to study the ice cubes with the dim light.

The basement is not big, only a dozen square meters, leaving a small opening for one person to enter and exit, and a staircase is built.

The temperature near the stairs will be closer to the outside. If Jiang Zhinuan's refrigerator wants to work well, it has to be placed in the innermost place, the place that is warmest in winter and cool in summer.

After Jiang Zhinuan chose the place, he ran up to the top and brought in some dry straw. First, spread a layer of dry straw on the bottom, and then use big stones to smash the dry straw evenly. .

Then move these ice cubes over and prepare to build a shape similar to a refrigerator.

Originally, four or five ice cubes could make a simple square box-like refrigerator, but now that there are more ice cubes, there are more natural choices.

In order to prevent the stored food from smelling, Jiang Zhinuan plans to arrange it horizontally and make a few more grids, similar to a freezer. Each grid is separate, and ice cubes are used as lids to form a complete small ice cave. .

Just do it, measure the size, and lay the dry straw bottom, Jiang Zhinuan moved these ice cubes over.

There are three pieces horizontally, and two pieces in the middle are partitioned to form three grids.

There are 16 yuan of ice cubes in total. After she finished it like this, there are still three ice cubes left. These three cubes are not enough to make a small grid alone, so I just put them on the outside of the outermost three cubes and make them into a double grid. layers.

The ground inside the ice cube is the dry straw. Jiang Zhinuan thought about it, and put the remaining three pieces in the three grids. Now, the ice box is full of ice cubes up, down, left, and right. , the temperature will be lower.

However, Jiang Zhinuan didn't want the things stored in it to freeze into lumps of ice, so she chose to use dry straw.

The current effect is probably not as good as freezing and better than refrigerating, and it is almost enough. The effect Jiang Zhinuan wants can be kept fresh for about a week. After a long time, it is not fresh enough.

As for vegetables, I have a garden in my own yard, and I can eat fresh every day when it is in season, so I seldom use this refrigerator.

When Jiang Zhinuan put the last three ice cubes on the side as a cover, she looked at the work she had made with satisfaction. She clapped her hands that were red from the cold, picked up the soft ruler on the side, and took a rough measurement. After taking down the size, I climbed up with those cotton-padded quilts in my arms.

She threw these things on the bamboo mat in the yard, and all of them were children's toys.

"An Bao, Ning Bao, quickly put away the toys, mother is here to do some work."

The two children were very well-behaved. They found a clean basket and packed all the toys given to them by Zhang Quan on the bamboo mat. Jiang Zhinuan went back to the house and took scissors and needlework. The old mattress quilts were cut out, and then sewn into covers with needles and threads.

Those cotton-padded clothes were also transformed into hijabs through simple needlework. The covers were put on the small freezer, and the hijab was covered with a whole layer on top.

In this way, a good insulation layer is formed. The outside temperature cannot enter the inside, and the ice cubes can be better preserved, which naturally plays the role of preserving food.

Jiang Zhinuan was very satisfied with his work, so he wrapped the offal that he brought back yesterday, wrapped it in gauze and put it in for storage.

When the weather is hot in summer, you can also put watermelon and fruit in it, and even make iced drinks for children.

She climbed up from the basement and waved to Di Qing: "My small freezer is ready, do you want to come down and have a look?"

Di Qing had already started cooking, and when she heard Jiang Zhinuan's words, she said to her abruptly, "I won't cause you any trouble."

trouble?
Jiang Zhinuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no trouble, I'll just help you down."

Di Qing didn't pay attention to her anymore, and didn't need Jiang Zhinuan's help after the dishes were cooked. She rocked the wheelchair and served the dishes on the table by herself, and then held the meals in the wheelchair by herself, took the children to wash their hands, and fed the children.

Jiang Zhinuan finally noticed something unusual from the sidelines.

But no matter what she said to Di Qing, Di Qing didn't mean to talk to her, he seemed angry, and even the two children's assists didn't work, so Di Qing just ignored her.

After finally eating without taste, Di Qing finished Zhang Shuangzhu's meal and pushed it on the table: "Brother Shuangzhu, send the meal."

Finally, he took the initiative to say a word to her.

Jiang Zhinuan leaned forward cheekily: "Master, what's wrong with you? Did I make you angry?"

Di Qing didn't speak again.

Jiang Zhinuan had no choice but to starve Zhang Shuangzhu, so he could only pick up the food: "Sir, wait for me, I will bring the food back, let's have a good chat."

"Okay, when you get back, let's talk."

When going to the bee farm on the mountain, Jiang Zhinuan felt faintly uneasy. When Di Qing talked, her voice was so cold that she couldn't hear any emotion in it.

This feeling was as if Di Qing was going to talk about breaking up with her, just like when she just came back from time travel, Di Qing wanted to reconcile with her life and death.
