Chapter 226 What to Plant in the Greenhouse
A greenhouse house covering twenty acres of land has been built.
quite splendid!
All walls are rammed earth.
The back wall is about 1.7 meters high. If it weren't for insulation, it would probably have to be 1.8 meters high.
The front wall is about 1.2 meters high, and the gables on both sides are walls that lean forward.
A piece of wood as thick as a man's arm was used to cover the roof, and a piece of wood was arranged every two meters. The two-meter empty window was covered with the plastic film that Li Lanzhen gave to Han Minghai and his two brothers.
The plastic film is covered with grass mud all around to ensure it is strong and tight.
Along the back wall there was a row of thick straw mats rolled into large barrels.
At night, or when the temperature drops, the straw mat should be rolled down and covered tightly over the entire greenhouse roof to keep warm.
Li Lanzhen took a look around and found that Han Zhaoxiong was a talented person in construction!
If you tell him the key issues of a building, he will think it through thoroughly by analogy.
The greenhouses covering these twenty acres of land were built even more elaborately than what Li Lanzhen had told them.
There was a greenhouse on two acres of land. Because the four walls occupied the land, Zhang Deshui discussed it with Han Zhaoxiong several times with concern. Finally, in order to ensure the later management of the greenhouse and to ensure the temperature for the growth of crops and vegetables, they stopped mentioning it.
Ten greenhouses sprang up on the land where the sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables had been harvested.
Old Master Xu began to linger here again.
He couldn't stop exclaiming in amazement!
He secretly made a decision in his heart that he was going to give Li Lanzhen a big gift!
Everything is going smoothly.
Unexpectedly, after lunch one day, the dining room became a scene of chaos.
Xue Nizi couldn't stand it anymore and ran to find Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, go check it out! They're arguing!
Really, you guys are so old, and yet you’re still quarreling!
Mother, I think only you can deal with them!"
Li Lanzhen sat up from the kang and asked her.
"Who quarreled? The children?"
“Haha, if it were just the kids, I would go up and kick them one by one and send them back home!
Yes, it was Uncle Zhang, my father, Uncle Han, the second oldest brother, and the eldest brother, a group of people quarreling!"
"Ah?! Why?"
"Why else? What can we plant in the greenhouse?"
Li Lanzhen was speechless!
You’re an adult, why does it matter?
After lunch, she felt sleepy, so she took the children home for a nap. Just as she closed her eyes, this incident happened.
"Let's go! Let's take a look! They are all troublesome!"
As he said this, he thought to himself that Zhang Deshui might want to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, while the others wanted to grow vegetables, and then take them to Youzhou City to exchange for silver.
As for that, it can be solved by splitting it half and half.
The mother and daughter came to the dining room and entered the room. No one inside noticed Li Lanzhen.
Xue Nizi wanted to call everyone, but was stopped by her.
She found a seat and sat down, waving her hand to let Xue Nizi go do her own thing.
"I am determined to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. The first priority is to feed the adults and children in Taohuayuan. Then we can talk about other things." Zhang Deshui said in a serious manner, and he did not allow any doubts and argued with reason.
Most people stood on his side and believed that growing sweet potatoes and potatoes was more important.
Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang insist on growing vegetables.
Han Mingjiang spoke loudly with his neck stiffened.
"Uncle Zhang, think about it, it's freezing cold, where can we get green leafy vegetables? We can grow vegetables and sell them in Youzhou City restaurants. We decide how much they sell for! Where can we find such a good thing?"
Xue Lao Hu continued to argue.
"You can sell the silver and buy other food."
……
Li Lanzhen remained silent, she wanted to see who could solve the problem.
"How about using half of the land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the other half to grow vegetables?"
The cautious voice came from Han Minghai.
"Pah! Good! I think this is the best way! Let's plant it like this."
Li Lanzhen saw that Han Minghai had finished speaking and they wanted to argue more, so she slammed the table and made the final decision!
A group of people saw that it was Li Lanzhen who was banging the table to support her eldest son.
No matter what you think, just shut up!
Li Lanzhen went back after she finished speaking!
I'm too lazy to explain, just let them digest and understand it themselves.
There was silence in the dining room for a while and no one spoke.
Finally, Xue Lao Hu said.
"I think we should do as Lan Zhen's in-laws said."
Zhang Deshui felt distressed and said nothing, but nodded to indicate that it was fine.
Han Shunde breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he started making suggestions like this today, but no one listened and kept making a fuss. Okay, Sister Lan Zhen had to slam the table.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go and clean up the land. Plant ten acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and ten acres of vegetables."
After saying that, he stood up and went out to inform everyone in the village to go to the fields.
Han Zhaoxiong built three utility rooms on the big field.
All the farm tools, baskets, etc. are placed here. You don’t have to carry them home, you can just carry them to work.
The land was prepared and ready for planting the next day.
When Zhang Deshui and his colleagues learned that they were going to build a greenhouse so that they could grow crops in the winter, they immediately started growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.
With the right humidity and temperature, sweet potatoes and potatoes will sprout quickly.
In the evening, Li Lanzhen took out four bundles of sweet potato seedlings stored in the space and placed them in the seedling house.
She asked Han Yinan to tell Zhang Deshui, but he, who had already fallen asleep, actually got up and ran over.
Seeing the fresh, green sweet potato vines, I laughed like a happy child.
Seeing that he had been out for half an hour and had not returned, Zhang Songshu came to look for him and then followed him home.
The next day, all the people in the village stayed in the greenhouse house for the whole day.
Even Master Xu went there, giving the children a day off from the busy farming season.
Li Lanzhen found it funny!
This holiday is so willful!
Cut the long sweet potato vines into several sections and plant them directly in the fields.
The potato pieces were wrapped with wood ash and buried in the ground with the tips facing upwards.
Here is Zhang Deshui and his people working.
Over there, Zhang Songshu and Han Minghai were growing vegetables.
Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard greens, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes...
Cucumbers and tomatoes are seedlings that Li Lanzhen moved out of the space.
She thought that these two dishes would definitely make a lot of money in the winter.
There is a fire pit every five meters in the greenhouse.
Inside, the fire continued.
Every night, there are two people on guard in each greenhouse.
Mainly responsible for the continuous fire.
To this end, Han Shunde organized everyone who could go up the mountain to collect firewood.
The chopped firewood is piled in the woodshed next to each greenhouse.
There is also a water tank in the greenhouse, which contains water and never runs dry.
The small canal in the field is still there.
The water flow route was replanned.
Therefore, after the sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables are planted in the greenhouse, they just need to be managed carefully.
