My village can't be like this

Chapter 405 Office

"Which book did you read it from? Why haven't I read it?"

Su Ying frowned and thought about it, and after a while she was sure that she had no impression.

"I can't remember. I usually read so many books, but I can't remember which one it is."

Zhang An is not afraid of his wife's questioning. After all, he usually reads whatever books he has when he has time and is not picky.

"Okay, so what's the principle behind this? How many months can such a mud ball preserve grapes? Even if they are placed in the refrigerator, they won't last many days."

Su Ying thought about the refrigerator at home. No matter how good the fresh-keeping function was, putting freshly picked fruits in it would only last for a week at most.

Moreover, fruits that have been left out for a week will completely change their flavor when eaten.

Unexpectedly, this little mud ball is even more powerful than the refrigerator.

Not only does it last for a long time, but the pulp on the grapes has not changed much, and it tastes very moist.

In fact, what Su Ying didn't know was that the moisture and taste would not be greatly affected by preserving fruits in this way.

But after a long time, it will still be somewhat different from the fresh one.

The reason why there is no change in the taste of this grape now is partly because Su Ying has not eaten grapes for a long time.

The other thing is that these grapes were all taken out by Zhang Angang from the space, so there is no obvious difference.

In addition, the grapes in Zhang An's space tasted particularly good, so they covered up many flaws, so she didn't notice them.

After thinking about it, Su Ying decided to understand the principle of this method.

In this way, when class is in class, when occasionally telling students extracurricular stories, they will also have some new topics to talk about. Today's students will be interested in these.

Because when Zhang An was teaching for her before, because he liked to quote from other sources, he would intersperse these extracurricular stories from time to time, which was liked by the students.

This not only attracts students' attention in class, but also greatly improves students' ability to learn independently.

So later Su Ying decided to learn more from her man.

Even though she still can't do it as easily as Zhang An, the teaching effect is indeed much better than before.

“It’s actually very simple. Clay maintains the vitality of grapes by providing enough oxygen. The carbon dioxide in this mud mass limits the metabolism of grapes and hinders the growth of fungi. The clay layer controls the emission of gas and reduces the loss of water in the grapes. , thereby protecting the freshness and juiciness of the grapes.”

"Plus the combination of clay and straw absorbs moisture that causes bacterial growth. Because this method has no added chemicals or preservatives, the quality of the flavor and pulp is also guaranteed."

Although I don’t know if in other places they use this thing to preserve fruits for this reason.

But Zhang An has read enough books in the past two years to understand a little of this and a little of that.

Combining the characteristics of various aspects, Zhang An feels that this is generally the principle.

"So that's it, but it's too complicated and I still can't understand it."

Su Ying is an out-and-out liberal arts student who only knows a little bit about biology.

We don’t know anything about the metabolism of these bacteria and the gas emissions.

"This is not daily life, why do you know so much?"

Zhang An smiled and said, he didn't want Su Ying to understand this thing.

Otherwise, if she did it herself, many details inside would not be concealed.

"Yes, as long as you understand, by the way, Zhang An, can our cherries be stored in this way? When winter comes, our family will be able to eat fresh cherries."

Soon, Su Ying no longer focused on the principles.

The grapes kept inside were replaced with the cherries that were starting to bear fruit at home.

Su Ying felt that she would get tired of the fruits outside if she ate them for a while.

But she doesn’t feel tired of the cherries, strawberries and other fruits at home no matter how much she eats.

When the cherries were ripe last year, Zhang An gave her a lot every week.

At the same time, she also eats a lot every day, but she never feels tired.

"Of course. When our cherries and strawberries mature this year, I will get some more and put them away. Our family will also be able to eat fresh fruits during the Chinese New Year this year."

Su Ying's words were exactly what Zhang An wanted. In the past two years during the Chinese New Year, he had wanted to get some food from the space to eat many times.

But unfortunately there is no trend of out-of-season fruits yet, so I can only give up.

Now that Su Ying has spoken like this, he can take out whatever he wants to eat in the future.

After the meal, Su Ying continued to eat with a bowl of grapes.

After other people's wives got pregnant, they didn't want to eat this or that, and they kept saying they had no appetite all day long.

Su Ying is not the same. Her appetite has greatly increased during this period, and she eats more than before.

Wang Fang thought that her daughter-in-law liked the food she cooked, so she was very happy.

However, because of the grapes that Zhang An brought out just now, Su Ying didn't eat much tonight, so she looked like she was holding the grapes and wanted to eat them to her heart's content.

"Xiaoying, why don't mom make you something else to fool around with? If you keep eating these grapes, I'm afraid your teeth won't be able to bite tomorrow."

This made Wang Fang look a little worried. Although it was a blessing to be able to eat, if you eat too much of these sweet and sour things, your teeth might suffer tomorrow.

When Su Ying heard this, she realized that she had eaten a small bowl without knowing it.

Although she has a better appetite during this period, it is rare that she encounters something she really wants to eat.

So the grapes taste like nothing.

She also knew that what her mother-in-law said was not unreasonable, so she planned to shut up.

"It's okay, Mom. These grapes are okay. They won't hurt your teeth if you eat them. They are rich in vitamins. Eating more of them will help your body."

Zhang An waved his hand and said, he took out these grapes from the space, no one knows better than him.

When the grapes first appeared, he ate several kilograms of them without knowing it, and his teeth didn't feel at all.

Moreover, it was formed in space and was different from the ones outside, so he dared to let Su Ying eat more.

At night, in the dead of night, light rain began to fall in the sky outside.

Although the rain was not heavy, the sound of rain was not quiet at all.

In their room, Zhang An closed the windows tightly and could still hear the patter of rain outside.

It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, moistening things silently.

Zhang An doesn't have any objections to Gui Ru You, but this is a little biased.

At this moment, Zhang An was listening to the sound of rain outside, as if he was in a natural concert.

Because of the cooling caused by the rain, Su Ying huddled in Zhang An's arms while sleeping.

He put his arms around the sturdy waist, pressed his face against Zhang An's chest, and pressed his forehead against his chin, rubbing it restlessly.

Zhang An, who is in his early 20s, has also grown a lot of stubble on his chin in the past two years.Although Zhang An also shaves frequently, this is not his daily schedule.

Therefore, there are often short stubs of stubble on the chin, which is a bit prickly.

Su Ying didn't like this feeling before, but now that she's pregnant, she likes it like an addiction.

She felt very comfortable leaning in Zhang An's arms, rubbing her short beard, and she fell asleep quickly.

So now she sleeps in this position every day. Su Ying feels comfortable, but Zhang An suffers a little bit.

Every night, Su Ying's arms had to be pillowed, and he couldn't move too much, otherwise Su Ying would have a restless sleep. Sometimes, Su Ying couldn't move until she turned over in the middle of the night.

However, Su Ying was very honest when sleeping and didn't like to turn over very much.

Most of the time, I sleep in the same position until dawn.

However, although Zhang An suffered a little, over time, he got used to being supported by Su Ying.

When Zhang An got up the next day, the rain outside had stopped at some point last night.

Except that there was a wet patina left on the ground outside, proving that it had been there during the night.

In the fish pond in the backyard, perhaps after a spring rain, the fish in the pond have become very energetic.

On the water surface that was as transparent as a blue mirror, a fish jumped out of thin air after a while.

It seems that the fishing in the past few days has not caused any shadow to them.

After breakfast, Su Ying went out to school, and Zhang An was also preparing to drive out.

"Xiao An, by the way, send these dishes to your mother-in-law."

When Zhang An was leaving, Wang Fang stopped him and pointed to a basket of fresh vegetables that had been sorted next to him.

Inside are all the vegetables that Zhang An’s family just planted in spring, including some tender green cucumbers, green peppers, Chinese cabbage and lettuce.

Spring started relatively early this year, and Wang Fang ordered dishes many days in advance.

However, these vegetables can be served in advance only because Zhang An sprays them with space spring water.

What other families have planted are probably small vegetable seedlings, and it will probably take more than 20 days before they can be eaten.

Now the relationship between the two families is no different from that of one family. No, as soon as new vegetables come in, Wang Fang is thinking about sending them to her relatives in the city.

Although Zhang An’s family grows many types of vegetables in winter, he is still a little tired of them after eating them for such a long time.

Wang Fang thought that by sending these fresh green peppers, Zhang An's mother-in-law could have a few meals of stir-fried meat with green peppers and cold cucumbers for a change.

When we arrived at the Forestry Bureau, it was already not very early. Zhang An stopped the car and entered the building.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang An met Zhuang Shuying who had just come out of the office.

"Oh, why did our hermit come out of the mountain today?"

Zhuang Shuying greeted Zhang An with a smile.

Now Zhang An is also considered a member of the Forestry Bureau. We are all in the same unit. Compared with the previous familiarity, we are a little closer to each other.

"I haven't had much to do recently, so I came here to take a look. I can't really stop coming. I'm really a little embarrassed."

At the same time, I also met many other colleagues, including several who had followed Zhu Yuliang to Changqing. Zhang An greeted them all with a smile.

"That's true. Come on, I'll take you to see your desk."

Zhuang Shuying was also direct, pulling Zhang An directly to the office next to her.

If this happens in the future, most people will think that these two people are a bit fishy.

However, Zhang An knew that Sister Zhuang only regarded him as a younger brother, and he only regarded him as an extra sister.

"Oh? I actually have a desk?"

Zhang An originally thought that he was an affiliated non-staff member, but because he was influenced by Lao Zhu, he took up the position.

Although he is paid every month, he has never seen it.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuliang made it look like a real thing for him, even the desk was prepared.

"Of course, our unit has a relatively large area and there are not many people, so naturally we need a place for you to sit."

As he said that, he entered an office with two workstations.

"Hey, isn't this your office, Sister Zhuang?"

Zhang An has been to the Forestry Bureau many times before and is very familiar with it.

Zhuang Shuying has always been the only one in this office.

Zhuang Shuying's level is not up to one person and one office.

There was someone else before, but after that person was transferred away, there was no replacement, so Zhuang Shuying is the only one here.

"Why, I'm in the same office as you, Sister Zhuang, so I'm going to dislike you, right?"

"No way, an office is just right, and there will be a familiar person chatting when I come later."

"I've already got a set of things for you at the work station. Take a look at what's missing and tell me when the time comes, and I'll get it for you."

"No, I don't need anything, so that's good. Thank you, Sister Zhuang, for cleaning it so cleanly for me."

There was no dust at all on this workstation and it was very clean. When he saw that Zhuang Shuying was cleaning her place, she was also taking care of it. Zhang An couldn't help but feel touched.

"Zhang An is here. Come to my office. I have something to do with you."

At this time, Zhu Yuliang, who probably had just come out of the conference room after a meeting, saw Zhang An in the office and called him over.

"Okay, okay, our director is calling for you, come on over."

Zhuang Shuying also had some personal thoughts in doing this.

She has a good impression of Zhang An, their relationship is okay, and she is happy with things that go smoothly.

And Zhang An definitely doesn't come to the city often, she knows this, so Zhang An moving in is actually equivalent to her being the only one.

If it hadn't been for Zhang An, if it had been anyone else, she might not have been able to stay in an office by herself.

"Okay, let's talk later. I'll go see what Lao Zhu wants from me."

Zhang An bid farewell to Zhuang Shuying and came to Zhu Yuliang's office. The old man was holding a thermos bottle and preparing to make tea.

"I don't want to drink it yet. Just make your own. This will save you from running out of tea and having to catch me for it."

He was very familiar with the cage containing tea leaves in Zhu Yuliang's hands. The tea leaves were the ones he had sent before.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuliang was not polite to Zhang An and put back the tea leaves that had been poured out.

It was something he regarded as a treasure. Maybe Zhang An would save a little by drinking a glass of wine at home.
