Chapter 226 What's Grown in the Greenhouse

The greenhouse houses on 20 acres of land have been built.

It's spectacular!

All the walls are rammed earth walls.

The back wall is already over 1.7 meters high; if it weren't for insulation, it would probably be 1.8 meters high.

The front wall is about 1.2 meters high, and the gable walls on both sides are walls that lean forward.

A log, as thick as a man's arm, was placed every two meters to cover the roof. The two-meter gaps in the windows were covered with plastic film that Li Lanzhen had given to the three Han brothers.

The plastic film was coated with mud around its edges to ensure it was sturdy and secure.

On the back wall, there was a row of thick straw mats rolled into large cylinders.

At night, or when the temperature drops, the straw mats are rolled down to cover the entire greenhouse roof completely in order to keep it warm.

After looking around, Li Lanzhen discovered that Han Zhaoxiong was a talented architect!

If you tell him the key issues of a building, he will think about them thoroughly and apply them to other situations.

The greenhouses on these twenty acres of land were built even more meticulously than Li Lanzhen had told them.

Two acres of land and a greenhouse. Because the four walls took up land, Zhang Deshui discussed it with Han Zhaoxiong several times, feeling distressed. In the end, in order to ensure the later management of the greenhouse and to guarantee the growth temperature of the crops and vegetables, they stopped mentioning it.

Ten greenhouses sprang up from the ground, standing on the land where sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vegetables had been harvested.

Master Xu began to linger here again.

They kept clicking their tongues in amazement!

He made a decision in his heart: he was going to give Li Lanzhen a big gift!

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Unexpectedly, one day after lunch, the dining room became a complete mess.

Xue Nizi couldn't stand it anymore and came to find Li Lanzhen.

"Mom, come quick! They're arguing!"

Honestly, how old are you all, still arguing!

"Mother, I think only you can handle them!"

Li Lanzhen sat up from the heated kang and asked her.

"Who's arguing? The kids?"

"Hehe, if only they were kids, I would have kicked them all home with one kick each!"

"Yes, it was Uncle Zhang, my dad, Uncle Han, my second brother, my eldest brother, and a bunch of other people arguing!"

"Huh?! Why?"

"Why else! We're going to grow whatever's in the greenhouse!"

Li Lanzhen was speechless!

How old are you? Is it really necessary?

After lunch, she felt sleepy, so she took the children home for a nap. She had just closed her eyes when this happened.

"Let's go! Let's go see them! They're all such a handful!"

As he spoke, he thought to himself that Zhang Deshui probably wanted to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, while the others wanted to plant vegetables, and then take them to Youzhou City to exchange for silver.

Is it really necessary? Just split it in half.

The mother and daughter arrived at the dining room and entered, but no one inside recognized Li Lanzhen.

Xue Nizi was about to call everyone, but she stopped her.

She found a seat and waved for Xue Nizi to go do her own thing.

"I am determined to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. The most important thing is to ensure that the adults and children of Peach Blossom Spring have enough to eat. Then we can talk about other things." Zhang Deshui said seriously, his words leaving no room for argument, and he argued his case forcefully.

Most people sided with him, believing that planting sweet potatoes and potatoes was the most important thing.

Xue Laohu and Han Mingjiang persisted in growing vegetables.

Han Mingjiang said loudly, his neck stiff.

"Uncle Zhang, think about it. It's freezing cold, where can we find any green leafy vegetables? We can grow vegetables and sell them in restaurants in Youzhou City. How much silver we make is entirely up to us! Where else can you find such a good opportunity!"

Xue Laohu continued to plead.

“You can sell the silver and then buy other grains.”

...

Li Lanzhen remained silent, wanting to see who could solve the problem.

"How about this: we can use half the land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the other half to grow vegetables? What do you think?"

The cautious voice came from Han Minghai.

"Bang! Great! I think this is the best method! Let's plant them this way."

Seeing that Han Minghai had finished speaking and they still wanted to argue, Li Lanzhen slammed her hand on the table, sealing the deal!

The group of people saw that it was Li Lanzhen banging on the table in support of her eldest son.

No matter what you're thinking, shut up!

Li Lanzhen left after she finished speaking!

I'm too lazy to explain; let them figure it out themselves.

In the dining room, everyone remained silent for a while, and no one spoke.

Finally, Xue Laohu said.

"I think we should do as Lanzhen, my in-law, suggested."

Zhang Deshui felt sorry for him, but didn't say anything. He just nodded to indicate that it was fine.

Han Shunde breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he made this suggestion earlier today, but no one listened. They kept arguing, and finally, Lanzhen had to bang on the table.

"Alright, that's settled then. Let's hurry up and prepare the land. We'll plant ten acres of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and ten acres of vegetables."

After saying that, he stood up and went out to tell everyone in the village to go to the fields.

Han Zhaoxiong built three storage rooms on the field side.

All the farm tools, baskets, and other equipment are kept here; there's no need to carry them home or to work.

The land has been prepared, and planting can begin the next day.

When Zhang Deshui and his colleagues learned that greenhouses were to be built so that they could grow crops even in winter, they immediately began cultivating sweet potatoes and potatoes.

With suitable humidity and temperature, the sweet potatoes and potatoes sprouted quickly.

That evening, Li Lanzhen took out four bundles of sweet potato seedlings stored in her space and placed them in the seedling house.

She asked Han Yinan to tell Zhang Deshui, and as a result, he, who had already gone to bed, actually got up and ran over.

Seeing the fresh, bright green sweet potato vines, they laughed like happy children.

When Zhang Songshu saw that he hadn't returned after half an hour, he came to look for him and then went home with him.

The next day, everyone in the village stayed in the greenhouse for the entire day.

Even Master Xu went, giving the children a day off during the busy farming season.

Li Lanzhen found it amusing!

This holiday is really extravagant!

The long sweet potato vines were cut into several sections and planted directly in the field.

The potato chunks were coated with wood ash and buried in the ground with the sprouts facing upwards.

This is Zhang Deshui leading people in their work.

Over there, Zhang Songshu and Han Minghai are planting vegetables.

Chinese cabbage, bok choy, baby bok choy, spinach, cucumber, tomato...

The cucumbers and tomatoes were seedlings that Li Lanzhen transplanted from the space.

She thought that these two dishes would definitely make her a fortune in the winter.

There is a fire pit every five meters in the greenhouse.

Inside, the fire burned continuously.

Every night, two people keep watch over each of the greenhouses.

Mainly responsible for keeping the fire burning.

Therefore, Han Shunde organized everyone who could go up the mountain to collect firewood.

After chopping firewood, they piled it up in the woodshed next to each of the large greenhouses.

There are water tanks inside the greenhouse, which are always filled with water and have never dried up.

The small irrigation ditch in the field is still there.

The water flow route was redesigned.

So once the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and vegetables are planted in the greenhouse, you just need to manage them carefully.
