Chapter 214 Tit for Tat, Greenhouse】
"His condition is very serious this time. The doctors have been trying to save him for more than an hour. The situation is not optimistic. It is a question whether he can get out. I will go to find out the situation tomorrow morning."
Lu Jinghe felt happy. Lu Jianlin was killed by his fake son who he had raised for nearly 20 years. It was really a tit for tat.
And the fate of the two is still closely related and complementary.
This unexpected development is really unexpected.
"That's pitiful. Lu Jianlin is bad, and Lu Yanzhi is bad. Lu Jianlin is good, but the damage is irreversible. Lu Yanzhi is still bad. He actually repaid Lu Jianlin's kindness in this way."
Qin Yian sighed, shook his head, and continued his work, handing one end of the plastic sheet to Lu Jinghe.
"Help me pull the plastic sheet and put it on the bamboo frame I propped up."
"An'an, is this the greenhouse you want to make?" Lu Jinghe moved his eyes to the half-person-high bamboo frame in the yard, and learned to put the plastic sheet on it and press it like Qin Yian did.
The two no longer had much interest in Lu Jianlin. Now they only occasionally paid attention to him as gossip, and then lived their lives well.
For example, build the greenhouse that Qin Yian had been dreaming about.
"Yes, let's build the greenhouse while it doesn't snow in the past two days. If it works, we can eat fresh vegetables in this cold winter, and maybe even vegetables that are only available in summer. Now it's really a bit uncomfortable to eat cabbage and radishes every day. I'll experiment here first. If it works, we'll build greenhouses in all the empty spaces in our houses and plant more."
Qin Yian pasted the bundled straw on it, and Lu Jinghe immediately followed suit and learned to do it.
He was not disappointed at all and did not think that this was something impossible. While helping, he was also enthusiastically thinking about what vegetables to plant after the greenhouse was completed. He said happily:
"Then let's plant some green beans. Braised green beans with braised pork are good. Don't you like them? I'll cook them for you after they are planted. Plant some eggplants and make eggplant boxes and eggplant cakes for you. Plant some other leafy vegetables. I'll buy seeds tomorrow. You teach me and we'll do it together."
Qin Yian was drooling over what he said. He wanted to pick the eggplants and beans in the space for him to cook right away.
"Okay, okay, plant them all. Tell me what you want to plant and I'll plant them all. I really want to eat the vegetables you mentioned."
"But you don't have to buy seeds. I have them all. I saved the seeds of the vegetables in the yard last summer and specially selected some high-quality seeds, so that the survival rate is higher. I have already grown the eggplant seedlings on the kang. They have been grown for several days and are growing well."
Qin Yian thought that if the temperature was up to standard, eggplants would be harvested in two months. These seeds were all high-quality seeds left in the space, and they were watered with diluted spiritual spring water, so they must be right.
How delicious the eggplant boxes and eggplant cakes with meat would be!
It's nice to eat alone in the space, but my cooking skills are not good enough. It tastes good, but after eating better ones, I don't think highly of my cooking skills. So I must build a greenhouse and let professionals cook. I can only be responsible for eating.
Lu Jinghe was overjoyed and looked at Qin Yian with admiration: "You are so good, then I will help you. Just assign the work to me. The eggplant grows fast and we can eat it during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, hurry up, I want to eat eggplant boxes."
Qin Yian was tempted by eating and speeded up his hands.
"After it's done, the greenhouse in this house in Shichahai will be your responsibility. I will write out a daily work log, and you just need to follow it and record the daily data."
Qin Yian didn't stop working, and she kept talking to Lu Jinghe about her plan.
"I plan to build a greenhouse in our yard and in our remaining six houses. It's useless to leave the houses empty anyway, so we can make use of them, one greenhouse or eight. Once successful, that will be eight greenhouses full of vegetables, and we'll have endless vegetables like in summer."
"And once it's done, it can be recycled. Just imagine what the result will be if we can grow these vegetables earlier than the ones on the market, even out-of-season vegetables."
Lu Jinghe's mind followed her words and he had already thought of ways to make money. He looked at the small plots of land that had been dug underground and then at the half-built greenhouse rack in his hands. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became excited.
"There's nothing to sell outside, but we have it here. If we sell it, we'll make a lot of money. I can't even imagine how many people will rush to buy these vegetables. And it's reasonable that these vegetables are a bit more expensive. People in Beijing are not short of money, but they are short of vegetables. There are just as many people who need them. Let's raise the threshold to screen people who sell them and make a fortune."
"An An, if we grow vegetables with a short growth cycle like eggplant in this first batch, they will be mature during the Chinese New Year. At that time, the demand will be great, and everyone will be more willing to spend money, so we can make more money."
Lu Jinghe became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He had already thought of a way to make money and ensure his own safety, and he had even thought of every way to sell them.
All he thought about was how to make money.
Qin Yian looked at him with admiration: "I said you were a good candidate for making a lot of money. You think far ahead, which is great."
She knew he would have the same idea as her. People who make a lot of money are always smart and adventurous, bold and careful, and have advanced ideas. Lu Jinghe's ideas have already surpassed most people of this era. No wonder he can make money and has so many part-time jobs.
If he doesn't succeed, who will?
Lu Jinghe is not only her target, but also her like-minded friend.
She also likes making money.
"This is our ideal situation at the moment. We look forward to our vegetables being successfully grown and to eating summer vegetables in winter."
"It will definitely work. Leave all eight greenhouses to me. I can do it." Lu Jinghe patted his chest and took on the job.
Qin Yian stretched out his hand and high-fived Lu Jinghe happily.
The two of them worked swiftly on their tasks, talking about what to do next and allocating tasks. After the greenhouses were built, each person would take turns for three days, so that they would have time to do other things.
And today, the first greenhouse was built.
Qin Yian took out a large bag of various vegetable seeds and put them on the ground.
"Come and choose the vegetables you want to plant. This shed has a special area for growing various vegetable seedlings."
Lu Jinghe was ambitious and wanted to have everything. He looked at Qin Yian tentatively and said, "How about taking some of the seeds in here? Give it a try?"
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Qin Yian had the same idea, so he didn't open it, picked up a big bag and went into the shed.
Lu Jinghe followed him in with a hoe.
The two of them worked together. He dug the soil in the ground into smaller pieces, and Qin Yian sowed seeds in the back, sowing one seed into one ball. There were twelve kinds of vegetables in the bag, and he sowed twelve balls, filling up the long area left for breeding. Lu Jinghe carried a bucket of water in the back, and the water was the nutrient water mixed with spiritual spring water specially prepared by Qin Yian.
Qin Yian found a few bamboo sticks to support it, and found a piece of plastic sheet to cover this small area. After everything was done, he stood up and looked at everything in front of him, full of satisfaction, and the two clapped their hands happily again.
"It's done."
Lu Jinghe took out a handkerchief to help Qin Yian wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then untied the water bottle hanging on the side and handed it to him, saying happily:
"I just saw that the eggplant seedlings grown on the kang are almost ten centimeters tall. They should be ready to be planted. Why don't we plant them in the greenhouse and grow other vegetable seedlings in the box."
The success of the seedlings made Lu Jinghe full of expectations for the future development.
