Mo Qingyan's questioning of Chen Xin could only be considered a minor episode because Qin Lan was not related to the shelter. Although it made Chen Xin somewhat embarrassed and troubled, it didn't cause any impact or bring about a change.
Chen Xin washed hundreds of pounds of fresh vegetables clean and handed them to Mo Qingyan to chop up. Afterward, he took these vegetables to the engine room and spread them out on the racks he made yesterday.
These racks were very simple, just welded together with a few steel tubes and covered with layers of netting. Chen Xin made them last night specifically to facilitate today's vegetable drying.
Placed the shredded vegetables on the netting, spread them out to allow moisture to evaporate, Chen Xin then stationed these racks on the heating water pipes of the ground-source heat pump.
