"Is the greenhouse vegetable project you just mentioned something you're planning to implement at your base?"
Su Ying didn't intend to hide anything from Gu Sinian. "To be honest, the living conditions in our station are nowhere near as good as those in Willow Village."
"That's not how it works. Willow Village has unique advantages. There are so many fruits on the mountain, and they also have grafting technology. It's normal for them to be able to make money and lead the whole village out of poverty."
"That's not necessarily true. We happen to have some time this month, so we'll set up an experimental field in Willow Tree Village. Once it's successful, we can set up another one at our base."
"Our place is incomparable to Dongshi. Dongshi has a spring-like climate all year round, and its unique weather is indeed very suitable for growing vegetables."
“But Beijing is different. In winter, heavy snow blocks the roads, and sometimes you can’t even get fresh vegetables.”
"Because the weather in Beijing is not suitable for cooking, we don't need to consider greenhouse vegetables."
Su Ying disagreed with Gu Sinian's idea; in her previous life, she had witnessed what greenhouse vegetables looked like.
"No matter how cold the weather is, the greenhouse vegetables still grow very well."
"That's why we need greenhouses...the principle behind vegetables."
"Greenhouses can effectively control the temperature, allowing vegetables to grow. Even in the coldest, most barren weather, we can still enjoy fresh vegetables."
"That's amazing?"
"Of course. Willow Village is the best experimental base now. Once we successfully plant it, we can directly transfer the principle to Beijing and set one up there as well, to improve the lives of our soldiers."
To be honest, Gu Sinian was tempted.
He didn't ask Su Ying why she knew so much.
There's no doubt that the capitalist's daughter knows a lot from a young age. Besides, with so many talented people in the Su family, it's not surprising that she knows a little about the principles of greenhouse vegetables.
"Go ahead and do it. Once the experiment is successful, I'll go back and write a report, and the top leadership will approve it."
"Due to the differences in weather between the South and the North, the South, with its suitable temperature, is ideal for growing all kinds of vegetables. However, the long distances mean that the vegetables often rot during transport, leaving the soldiers living in the North without access to fresh vegetables."
"Every winter, even the top leaders are practically bald from pulling their hair out, but they still can't solve this problem."
"If your experiment succeeds, it will solve a lot of problems for us."
Su Ying knew all too well what it was like to not have fresh vegetables and fruits to eat in the dead of winter.
Fortunately, she has a space, and when she hoards supplies, she intentionally stores some fruit and a lot of green vegetables, so she can eat leafy green vegetables in winter.
Not daring to eat openly, they could only eat secretly in the kitchen. Before the children ate, the vegetables were wrapped directly in buns so that the children could get their vitamins.
She has always done it this way.
She had this idea then, but her family rejected it as soon as she brought it up.
The original statement at the time was that money must be used wisely, and there was no extra funding for her to research this.
She understands the principles of greenhouse vegetables, but she has little experience in how to grow them.
This great research project was thus stillborn.
But things are different now. Liushu Village is one of the wealthiest villages in Xuancheng, the eastern part of the city.
Moreover, every proposal she put forward benefited Liushu Village.
Su Ying wanted to finalize the greenhouse vegetable project during her time in Liushu Village so that she could start planting immediately upon returning to Beijing, avoiding many detours.
The entire military region will be the ones who rejoice then; who will care about the little mistake the Gu family made?
Perhaps with this remarkable feat, Gu Sinian's promotion spot will be returned.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to make a big splash, but looking at her flat stomach, Su Ying felt a little helpless.
Every time she tries to do something big, something unexpected always happens.
I hope the baby in my belly will be well-behaved this month and not cause her any trouble.
It would be such a waste not to use such a uniquely advantageous place as Willow Village for experiments.
Given her current relationship with the brigade leader, he would find a way to get her whatever she wanted.
"We'll see when the time comes. My original intention was to improve the lives of the soldiers. Only when people are well-fed and watered can they have the strength to defend their country."
“That’s right. I’ll assist you for the next month. Feel free to ask me to do anything you need. Your most important thing right now is to focus on your pregnancy.”
"The doctor said that your belly is still too small, and the most important thing is not to overexert yourself."
"Eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well are your tasks. If you want to grow greenhouse vegetables, I support you. Just give me all the hard and tiring work, and you can just give me guidance from the side."
A laborer volunteered to do manual labor, how could she refuse?
Anyway, there's a lot of hard work involved in growing vegetables in greenhouses.
"Fine. You can do it all. I'll just stand by and give you pointers like a boss, okay?"
Gu Sinian affectionately pinched his nose, "You little rascal."
“I’m telling the truth.”
The man sensed someone approaching them. "Someone's coming. Let's skip this topic and move on."
"good."
Gu Sinian helped Su Ying walk towards the Bai family's house. As soon as they arrived, Captain Sun Xuelin and his son followed them over eagerly.
Su Ying and Gu Sinian locked eyes, and Su Ying mentally launched into a tirade: "The captain really hasn't changed at all."
He would do anything that would benefit Liushu Village without hesitation, unlike other villages that were afraid of tigers in front and wolves behind, and as a result, year after year they were still poor and still couldn't fill their stomachs.
The brigade leader, on the other hand, was quite intelligent. As long as he found something that could change the fate of Willow Village, he would do it without hesitation. He was also willing to take the advice of people who were smarter than him. He was never rash and always followed in his footsteps.
Although he listens to others in everything, he has his own set of methods, which he uses to carry forward the spirit of Willow Village.
She actually admired the brigade leader quite a bit; he knew he wasn't as good as others, yet he was still willing to listen to their opinions.
She adopted everything that was beneficial to Willow Village; not everyone has that kind of boldness.
That's why he was able to become the team leader. There are many people in Willow Tree Village who are smarter than the team leader, but he was the one who became the team leader, and others couldn't.
"Su Zhiqing, my brat just said you have another way to make money that can help create a lot of jobs in Willow Tree Village. Is that true?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to the captain?"
"That's true. You've always been smart, and your advice to me is always so insightful. When you get old, you really do get old; there's nothing better than a fresh brain."
"Can you tell me what these greenhouse vegetables are and how they make money?"
Su Ying rambled on and on, finally managing to make her thoughts clear.
She explained it very clearly, but she didn't know whether the brigade leader understood it or not.
