Chapter 209 Warming Up
After the New Year, the weather gradually warmed up, and the sun shone generously on the ground.
The sensitive trees have already sprouted new buds, seemingly responding to the sunlight.
The clear weather gradually dissipated the long-standing gloom in people's hearts.
The empty ruins outside gradually filled with people.
Many people carried hoes and shovels, diligently digging for items under the rubble.
The items on the surface have already been picked clean; to obtain items, one must dig deeper.
Jiang Li had no idea what was going on outside. She stayed peacefully in her little house, doing her own thing.
Jiang Li got up early in the morning and went up to the third floor without even having breakfast to pick the remaining vegetables.
Now that the weather is warm, the batch of vegetables we planted earlier has almost been eaten, and it's time to plant another batch.
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then took out the seeds of eggplant, cucumber, and green beans from her space, wrapped them in a damp towel, and waited for them to sprout before transplanting the seedlings into the soil.
However, the soil in these planting troughs has been used to grow crops several times, and even with continuous fertilization, the soil is no longer fertile.
Jiang Li wanted to take advantage of the warmer weather to take the soil from the planting trough outside and burn it together with the straw and other materials.
This can both increase the fertility of the soil and get rid of insects in the soil.
Jiang Li moved all the planting troughs off the shelf and put them into the space.
As Jiang Li walked down the stairs and tried to leave, Ye Jingmo stopped her.
"You're not even going to eat breakfast, what are you planning to do?"
"I'm going to burn the soil. The soil in the planting trough has been used for too long and has lost its fertility."
Jiang Li explained, her round eyes wide.
Ye Jingmo stepped forward, hooked his arm around Jiang Li's shoulder, and forcefully pulled her to the dining table.
"I'll make it with you later. Let's eat breakfast first, otherwise you'll ruin your stomach if you go hungry."
Ye Jingmo made preserved egg and lean pork congee for breakfast. The thick white congee was mixed with bits of preserved egg and large chunks of lean pork, and it had an enticing aroma.
Jiang Li unconsciously swallowed, and her stomach growled with hunger.
Jiang Li sat down in the chair, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and the thick, savory congee with preserved egg and lean pork slid down her throat, a salty and umami flavor bursting on her tongue.
Ye Jingmo took out a steamer from the kitchen, which contained small steamed buns with thin skins and generous fillings.
Jiang Li poured some vinegar into the dish, picked up a small steamed bun, and dipped it in the vinegar.
The skin of the xiaolongbao is coated with vinegar, giving it a slightly sour taste. When you bite into the skin, the meat filling with a little bit of soup slides into your mouth.
The sourness neutralizes the greasiness of the meat filling and enhances the taste of the xiaolongbao.
Jiang Li ate five xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork in one go before finally putting down her chopsticks, completely satisfied.
After Jiang Li helped clean up the dishes inside, she sat down on the sofa.
She was too full to go out for any activity right away.
After resting for half an hour, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo finally went outside.
As the weather warmed up, the snow piled up in the yard slowly melted into a mixture of snow and water.
Jiang Li wasn't paying attention to her footing and lost her balance on the slippery ground.
Looking at the ground so close to him, Jiang Li subconsciously closed his eyes.
The pain I had anticipated did not come.
Jiang Li cautiously opened her eyes and saw the ground again, but she was still a hand's width away from it.
She turned her head to look behind her, and Ye Jingmo swiftly grabbed her clothes, otherwise she would have fallen flat on her face.
Ye Jingmo helped Jiang Li up.
Jiang Li let out a long sigh of relief, calming her racing heart.
"Brother Mo, this ground is too slippery."
She pouted and complained.
