Chapter 127 Building a Greenhouse
The moose is the largest deer in the world. It usually gives birth to only one calf, and in very rare cases, two.
Everyone was surprised to find that one of the two little moose had white fur all over its body, and it was an extremely rare white moose.
Jiang Linhai asked excitedly, "Sisi, is this a genetically mutated albino species?"
Jiang Si shook his head. "There are white moose, but they are rare."
Shen Baoying stared at the moose and said, "This moose has given birth to two calves. I wonder if the milk is enough?"
Jiang Si said: "Give it more nutrition and its milk production will increase. Don't worry too much. These two little moose look quite healthy."
Niuniu asked, "Sister, how long will it take for the baby moose to grow up? Will they stay and live with us? Just like Big Black and Little Black did."
The newborn moose babies are so cute. They still have their mothers. Niuniu is afraid that people will kill them for meat.
Jiang Si could hear Niuniu's cautious concern and said with a smile, "The young moose grow very fast and can survive independently around one year old. They will stay, just like Big Black and Little Black, to help us build a beautiful home."
Niu Niu's eyes were shining and she was very happy for the moose mother and the baby moose.
Lu Zhifeng said, "I don't know if the female moose is easy to tame."
Jiang Sidao said: "Moose have simple minds. As long as they have something to eat, a warm environment, and no danger to their lives, they will be driven."
Jiang Si spoke lightly, as if he had personally tamed a moose before.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Zhifeng's eyes, but he also understood that Jiang Si was knowledgeable.
Jiang Linhai's face was filled with excitement. "Moose can plow the fields, right?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "It should be possible."
Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Linhai smiled in unison, "That's great! In a couple of days, we'll build a greenhouse and try growing radishes."
Jiang Linhai patted his chest and said, "The temperature has clearly risen a lot in the past two days. If there's no wind or snow during the day, we can build the greenhouse tomorrow."
“If everyone works together, we can build a greenhouse in a week.”
"While we're building the greenhouse, we can also repair the house. We can use the wood nearby."
Everyone was very happy, as if the gloom of the end of the world had disappeared.
Jiang Sidao: "Okay, let's see tomorrow."
She looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and sincerely hoped that the end of the world would end like this.
They acted right away. The next morning, Jiang Linhai got up early, measured the outdoor temperature, and called Lu Zhifeng and Jiang Chengwu to go survey the foundation together.
Hot Spring Bay used to be a tourist center, so there are many small squares and parks.
It was easy for Jiang Linhai to find a flat ground.
Finally, he decided on a small park, using the square base as the foundation of the house and the flower bed as the foundation of the greenhouse.
But the small park was covered with thick white snow.
The snow at the bottom is like solid glaciers. It takes some effort and time to remove it.
Fortunately, they have icebreakers and transport vehicles.
After several days of hard work by the three grown men, the dark soil was finally revealed in the greenhouse.
Zhang Qingfang stepped on the frozen, rock-like soil, feeling a little worried. "Can it really generate electricity by itself?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "It should be possible. If not, once it's repaired, it can be used to store firewood."
Jiang Chengwu said, "When the temperature rises, the ice in the soil will melt, and loosening the soil will definitely be no problem."
Zhang Qingfang was relieved and said happily, "The radish seedlings are growing well. The hydroponic radishes are as big as two fingers. I plan to transplant some in the snow to see if they will continue to grow."
"The temperature has been rising these past few days. The daytime temperature is almost the same as that at the edge of the hot spring. I estimate that even without a greenhouse, this radish has a high chance of surviving."
Jiang Si nodded, "Grandma, where do you want to plant it?"
Zhang Qingfang pointed to the excavated soil nearby and said, "This is fine, but the soil is too hard. We need to plant some fertile soil here as well."
Shen Baoying said: "Well, before I was worried about not having enough manure, but now we have dozens of chickens and ducks, and three moose, plus the nutrient soil in stock, so it is definitely enough."
Jiang Si said, "Then I'll get a hoe and dig a few holes now."
Qin Shen said, "I'll go, you wait here for me."
Qin Shen was so proactive even though he was just picking up a hoe.
Shen Baoying and Zhang Qingfang saw it and were happy in their hearts. They were even more satisfied with Qin Shen's performance.
Jiang Si had gotten used to Qin Shen's care for her these past few days, and nodded calmly.
When the hoe was brought, Jiang Si didn't even have a chance to do anything. Qin Shen dug the pit in a few strokes according to Zhang Qingfang's requirements.
Zhang Qingfang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. "Grandpa Sisi was as capable as you when he was young."
Jiang Si glanced at Jiang Chengwu, who was busy digging the foundation, and couldn't help but joked, "Grandpa is obviously very capable now."
Zhang Qingfang laughed and said, "I'm old now, I just need to stop being a burden to you guys."
Jiang Si shook his head. "What's the point of being a burden? The greatest blessing is for the whole family to be together."
The radish seedlings were buried in the soil, and before everyone left, the leaves were frozen.
Zhang Qingfang frowned, "The frost is so severe, it seems that this won't work."
Jiang Sidao said, "Not necessarily. Let's see tomorrow. What if he comes back to life after dying of anger?"
Zhang Qingfang nodded. "Well, let's just ignore it for now and see if your dad can help us. Let's go over and take a look."
"good."
When Jiang Si and Zhang Qingfang walked over, Qin Shen had already jumped into the pit and was following Jiang Linhai to build the foundation frame in a proper manner.
When Jiang Linhai saw Jiang Si coming, he praised Qin Shen as if he was praising his favorite student, "Qin Shen learns really fast. When I was young, I couldn't grasp it as quickly as him."
Shen Baoying laughed and said, "People can study medicine, how can they be the same as your hands that can carry bricks."
Jiang Si glanced at Qin Shen and asked, "Is there anything we can help you with?"
Jiang Linhai shook his head. "We'll start pouring concrete soon. If you're fine, go back to the igloo and rest. It's still cold, don't freeze to death."
Jiang Si asked, "Will concrete work? Won't it freeze?"
Jiang Linhai had never worked with concrete in such cold weather.
"Try it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
"Okay, then we'll go cook first and call you later."
When we returned to the ice house, the two transplanted wintersweets had survived.
The buds are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overwhelming.
Niu Niu leaned over and took a few deep puffs, and suddenly felt dizzy.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Don't inhale too much, it will have an anesthetic effect."
Niu Niu nodded obediently, picked up a small flower bud on the ground, put it in the palm of her hand, and occasionally took it out to smell it.
Shen Baoying stared at the wintersweet flowers and suddenly asked, "Would you like some wintersweet cakes?"
