"Yes, no one knows the nature of the land and the climate of the four seasons better than us. If you want to lie, at least make it more sophisticated. If these fields can produce grain in winter, I, Fang Laowu, will not be named Fang, and I will eat manure to prove you wrong."

If Zhao Lizheng hadn't seen the effects of those plastic films, and hadn't heard that rice could be grown in winter, his reaction would have been the same as these villagers.

Therefore, he can understand everyone's feelings.

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me." Zhao Lizheng had been the village chief for many years, and his voice was booming, giving him a commanding presence.

Moreover, his face was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

The villagers in front were stunned; their laughter and chatter ceased, and the villagers behind also stopped making noise.

"This is our village's sickle girl. Because of the food shortage, she went to great lengths and found a way to get help from foreign businessmen. There is something called a plastic film, which is used to support the crops and form a greenhouse. It can keep the crops and soil warm and prevent the effects of the severe winter frost."

"As the head of Datian Village, Lian'er Yatou came to me first and asked me to try out the effect of the plastic film. I built a small shed in the vegetable field, and when I checked it after one night, the temperature inside the shed was indeed much higher than outside, the soil had also retained warmth, and the vegetables inside were more vibrant."

"The villagers of Datian Village all know about this. Everyone is already loosening the soil in the fields. Once the fields are almost ready, we'll go up the mountain to cut bamboo for support, then put up the plastic film, and the greenhouse will be complete."

The villagers looked at each other, incredulous yet intrigued.

"Is there really such a good thing? This is the first time I've ever heard of it. Are you trying to scam us?"

"We came here for this very reason, to give everyone hope and prevent them from going astray and suffering irreparable consequences. Otherwise, would we be crazy to put ourselves in such a dangerous situation and do something so thankless?" Zhao Lizheng snorted.

“We’d like to see what you’re talking about,” one villager suggested.

Qiao Lian'er turned around and walked to the carriage, taking out a roll of film from inside.

The villagers came forward one after another.

Someone reached out and touched it.

"No wonder it's called a thin film, it's so thin. Hmm, what material is this? I've never seen it before."

"The goods we get from foreign businessmen are useful as long as they're usable," Qiao Lian'er said.

Some villagers used their kitchen knives to cut off a large section of the head and then wrapped it around their heads.

"Chen Gouzi, what are you doing?"

Chen Gouzi didn't say anything, waited quietly for a while, and when he felt suffocated, he immediately tore off the membrane.

"Damn, this thing doesn't let in any air at all, and my face is getting a little hot. Is it really supposed to keep me warm?"

"Really? I'll try it too."

Other villagers followed his example, some covering their heads, others using it to cover their mouths and noses, and they really couldn't breathe.

Some people wrapped the film around their hands and left it in the sun for a while. When they removed the film, the area on their hands was noticeably warmer.

"This thing is like a wall that is sealed off from all sides, so there is no air leakage, but it has another advantage, which is that the temperature inside will rise."

The villagers' eyes lit up. Could they really grow a second crop of rice by using this to make greenhouses and keep out the severe cold and frost?

Qiao Lian'er said, "If you don't believe me, our Datian Village will take the lead. You can check the situation at any time. Once you feel it's safe, then we can plant the rice."

"If we deceive everyone or if it is ineffective, we will never stop you from doing whatever you want."
