At this time, the weather was not very cold, so there was no need to light a fire in the furnace.
The tung oil-coated linen cloth could indeed block some wind, and once people went inside, they would feel a bit warm. Li Mai thought it might be able to work out.
Zhou Quan thought it was fine, and the village started to try it out.
Lu Qian was thrilled. This was the surprise his sister-in-law had mentioned to him. It was indeed a surprise; he had never imagined that vegetables could be grown like this.
If this works out, he can build a farm on the land he bought, construct a dozen or so greenhouses, and grow vegetables. He'll make a fortune in the winter.
Having grown up in luxury, he understands all too well the feeling of wanting vegetables but not being able to get them in winter.
In the village, after Zhou Quan asked the other flower growers, only Zhou Erleng and Zhou Ermao were willing to give it a try.
Because building this requires you to buy tung oiled hemp cloth yourself, which is quite expensive; a greenhouse costs four taels of silver.
If this doesn't work, won't all the money have been wasted?
However, Zhou Erleng and Zhou Ermao had an unconditional trust in Zhou Quan, so they were willing to give it a try, even if it was just a small amount. After all, the money they had now was earned with the help of people arranged by Zhou Quan.
So, their greenhouse was completed ten days later than the one in the bamboo garden. After it was completed, they carried out a series of tasks, including turning the soil, watering, and sowing seeds.
They planted these four kinds of seeds, all provided by Zhou Quan. He said he wouldn't charge them for the first crop, but once they started making money, they would have to buy the seeds themselves every year.
The two agreed.
Seeing that spinach could be grown in greenhouses that people had never seen before in winter, they immediately regretted their decision. Putting everything else aside, just for the novelty and excitement, they felt that they could make money.
However, when they approached Zhou Quan, he said that once Er Leng and his team succeeded with their first batch, they could work on it next year. He said it was definitely too late to come this year, as the ground was already too cold.
So the villagers, having nothing to do all day, started wandering around the two greenhouses, wanting to see for themselves whether the crops could actually be grown.
Zhou Erleng and Zhou Ermao were so scared that they almost had to live in the greenhouse, fearing that someone would come and steal their vegetables in the middle of the night.
