Chapter 164 People Under the Sky City 26
The air defense system still has a month to go, and all the plans are waiting for it. Zhang Xiaojia has nothing to do all of a sudden. He looks at his ancestral home, which is halfway up the mountain. It is a big house that imitates a siheyuan. It is very big, with thirteen courtyards. There used to be servants cleaning it. Since what happened to the heroine, Zhang Xiaojia fired all the people. Now there are only four chefs, Uncle Qin, and Lin Yi's team, and the rest are all robots.
Zhang Xiaojia stood in the yard, his eyes sweeping around. Then, he looked at the empty land outside the courtyard wall. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he turned to Uncle Qin and said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, look at this yard. It's such a pity to have it empty! And it's quite large. I was thinking of digging up the floor tiles and using them to grow vegetables. What do you think?"
Uncle Qin glanced at Zhang Xiaojia calmly after hearing this and replied, "Jiajia, do you know why vegetables must be grown by humans instead of robots? It's because robots won't produce any harvests from growing vegetables or crops. So, if you want to grow vegetables, I don't object, but you'd better not think about growing vegetables inside the house first. After all, the land outside the house also belongs to the Zhang family, and even the entire B area is the Zhang family's property. So, please try growing vegetables outside first."
Zhang Xiaojia was right. She grew vegetables on both sides of the road, and she didn't believe that anyone would dare to destroy her vegetable garden.
Zhang Xiaojia immediately placed an order, bought the latest farm tools, and took Zhang Chengxi with her to farm outside the house. Uncle Qin was really worried, so he followed them.
She came to a lawn and thought it was a nice place. Uncle Qin said coldly, "Jia Jia, this is your grandfather's golf course. Workers come to clean it every week. Don't ruin your life."
Zhang Xiaojia continued walking forward, and stopped in front of another piece of land. He turned around and asked Uncle Qin, "This should be fine, right?"
Uncle Qin also stopped and looked at the land. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "This is the lavender your father planted. Look, what's growing on the ground is not grass, they are all lavender. In May next year, beautiful flowers will bloom."
Zhang Xiaojia was a little embarrassed and surprised when she heard Uncle Qin's words, but she still forced herself to remain calm, chuckled twice, and then asked stubbornly, "Uncle Qin, how big is this place?"
Uncle Qin sighed helplessly. He knew in his heart that Jiabao had taken a fancy to this piece of land. He could only helplessly reply, "There are five acres here in total. However, if you really want to use it, I will have the workers divide up one acre for you first. You can start planting after it is ready."
Would one acre of land be too little? To be honest, she had no idea how big an acre of land was.
She didn't have the face to ask, so she took out her cell phone to check. Uncle Qin's voice rang out, "One acre of land is 666.667 square meters. The current method of growing rice hydroponically can yield about 6,000 kilograms per acre. If it is planted on the ground, it can yield 5,000 kilograms. The air on this hill is good. If you really want to plant, I'll ask the workers to do it, and you don't have to do it yourself." The most important thing is that he was too lazy to say what Jia Jia could do in the farming work.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Uncle Qin suspiciously, "Uncle Qin, do you look down on me? Do you think I can't grow it?"
Uncle Qin was speechless. "Jiabao, what month is it now? What vegetables can be grown? What are you planning to plant? The mainstream on Earth is hydroponics. The biggest advantage of hydroponics is that it is environmentally friendly, easy to grow, and has a short production cycle. Take Chinese cabbage for example. Hydroponics only takes 10 days, but planting in the field takes 60 days. The biggest advantage of hydroponics is that indoor planting is not affected by the seasons. Any vegetable can be grown. Land planting requires a shed like it has been for thousands of years. Jiabao, the law stipulates that the use of plastic and disposable materials is strictly prohibited. Jiabao, the earth's resources are insufficient. You can have some, but please don't waste them."
Zhang Xiaojia lowered his head to think, and said willfully, "I don't want to grow vegetables, I want to grow fruit."
Uncle Qin sneered and said, "Jiabao, fruit is so expensive because the fruit grown on Earth is super unpalatable. Only the fruit grown in the Sky City is delicious. Give up this idea! There are no fruit trees for sale in Area B. There is not much to do during this period, so go find He Fei and have some fun."
Zhang Xiaojia thought darkly in his heart, if I hadn't been the one who raised me since I was a child, I would definitely deduct your salary.
Zhang Chengxi giggled non-stop and said in a baby voice, "Master, forget it! Playing in the mud is not fun, let's go home! My father said he would buy me some grapes today, I'll treat you."
Zhang Xiaojia insisted, "No, I must plant, one acre at a time."
However, when Uncle Qin talked about He Fei, Zhang Xiaojia was attracted by He Fei's space. He seemed to be able to farm and had a lot of seeds. She went to ask him for seeds, but she wanted to get back an acre of land first.
Zhang Xiaojia and Zhang Chengxi were driven away by Uncle Qin, so she simply went to find Lu Jing. He was a genius, and farming was no problem for him. When she arrived at the laboratory, the planting department, she saw Lu Jing and his team doing experiments.
"Boss, are we going to prepare the potion now?"
"What else? Luckily, my sister doesn't understand the cycle of hydroponic vegetable cultivation. She's such an idiot, hahaha. Nowadays, hydroponic vegetables mature in just three days at the fastest, and no more than ten. Since the nutrient solution is cheap, this is easy. We can just mix it up. For home cultivation, it's simpler and takes longer."
"Boss..."
"Boss..." I desperately winked at the boss, your sister is right behind...
Zhang Xiaojia's face turned black. She had just been scolded by Uncle Qin, and she had no way to refute him. Uncle Qin not only raised her from childhood, but also lost his child to save her. It was impossible for her to have children in this life. But Lu Jing, that little bastard, was dead...
But she absolutely couldn't lose face. Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "I was originally taking care of you and asking you to keep things simple. Since you don't appreciate it, then I'll trouble you to prepare a nutrient solution for the vegetables at home that can last from three days to ten days. It has to be affordable and environmentally friendly. Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Jing simply slid down to his knees, hugged Zhang Xiaojia's thighs and yelled, "Sister, I was wrong, please forgive me!!! It's impossible to do what you said."
Zhang Xiaojia knew he was being embarrassed, so he gave him a way out, saying, "However, you need to explain clearly in the video the regional standards for the Ministry of Agriculture and the home version. The home version is a low-end version with a longer production cycle and a lower price. Do you understand?"
Lu Jing quickly said, "Thank you, big sister. I will work harder and more seriously."
Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Give me some books on planting. I want to plant fruit trees all over my mountain."
Lu Jing said, "Sister, don't be upset. Don't make such a beautiful mountain bumpy. The whole B area belongs to you. There are rape flowers in spring and lavender in early summer. These are the beautiful scenery of B area. Don't ruin it."
Zhang Xiaojia glared at him, and Lu Jing had no choice but to send her his e-books and course tutorials.
I originally wanted to ask Lu Jing to teach her how to grow vegetables, but when I heard him say that, I suddenly lost face. Is she shameless to ask him to teach her?
