After finishing the second story, Qian Chunhua went on to talk about his future plans for the farm.
"What, greenhouse cultivation?"
Everyone in the Xu family was very surprised. From Qian Chunhua's words just now, they could also understand that they were all farmers for generations after all.
However, they can understand it once, and they can't accept it.
Can you sell the vegetables that you have grown with so much effort?
Xu Tao disagreed with his brothers' ideas. After listening to Qian Chunhua's introduction, his eyes brightened. After arriving in Beijing for some time, he realized that there were too many rich people in Beijing.
No one cares about the prices of the vegetables at all. This must be a good business.
Xu Tao quickly said, "Sister Chunhua, if you need us to do anything, just tell us."
Xu Jiang glanced at his younger brother and shut up. He knew what his younger brother meant and would not ask for trouble.
Qian Chunhua continued, "My plan is, you guys help me with this farm. I plan to use half of it to grow greenhouse vegetables in the winter. The rest of the land will be used to grow peppers and some medicinal herbs."
Qian Chunhua prepares chili peppers and medicinal herbs for antique soups and marinades.
On her way back to the capital, she had already asked Imperial Physician Zhang about the ingredients used in marinade, such as bay leaves and star anise, which were all available in the pharmacy, but they were all incredibly expensive.
However, if you want to grow it yourself, Imperial Physician Zhang said he could help find someone to guide you.
Only with the guarantee from Imperial Physician Zhang did Qian Chunhua dare to buy such a large farm.
After a pause, Qian Chunhua continued, "Choose a flat place to build a greenhouse. We will start preparing now. When the drought ends, we will start planting."
Xu Jiang nodded, "Okay, during this time I will lead everyone to remove all the weeds in the field and turn over all the land that needs to be turned over."
Qian Chunhua: "It's up to you to decide how to pay me."
Xu Jiang was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Sister Chunhua, don't ask for wages. You provide us with food and lodging, which is far more than our wages."
Qian Chunhua nodded, she meant the same thing.
If one person earns 20 ounces a day, that's only 6 ounces a month, and he can't even afford many meals if he buys rice or noodles outside.
Qian Chunhua: "Now that prices are high outside, we will temporarily use wages to offset food and accommodation. When prices return to normal, we will still calculate wages according to normal helpers."
Xu Jiang agreed with a smile. He knew that Sister Chunhua would definitely not treat them unfairly.
When my mother was sick, they went to the grain store, but they couldn't afford rice or flour. Even black flour was frighteningly expensive. They still took advantage of the food deductions they received from work.
Xu Jiang had no choice but to take advantage of this. He couldn't bear to see the old and young in his family starving to death. He could only make up his mind in his heart to work hard in Qian Chunhua's farm in the future to be worthy of her.
After watching them all finish talking, Granny Xu spoke up, "Chunhua, Granny is a few years older, so she can still read some celestial phenomena. I estimate that the weather will change soon."
Not only Qian Chunhua, but everyone in the room had a happy look on their faces. The drought had lasted for too long, and everyone was hoping it would rain soon.
Granny Xu shook her head slightly. "It's not good. A long drought will lead to floods."
Qian Chunhua's expression froze. That was not a good thing. "Grandma Xu, what should we do?"
Granny Xu said, "We can only pray that God will open his eyes. The rain will definitely continue, but we don't know what will happen in the future. I suggest that we don't move the greenhouse yet, otherwise it will be ruined if it rains."
Qian Chunhua nodded, that was indeed the case.
Granny Xu: "It seems that the terrain here is higher than the capital. Chunhua, if there is a flood disaster, this place is definitely safer than the capital."
Qian Chunhua continued to nod. She was really surprised. Having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. She didn't expect that Grandma Xu could actually observe the celestial phenomena.
Although she couldn't read the sky, she knew that a long drought would lead to a flood.
Qian Chunhua made a prompt decision, "Brother Xu, don't do the farm work for the time being. Take your people to check all the houses and fix what needs to be fixed. Write down what materials are needed and I will find someone to buy them."
Qian Chunhua pointed to the courtyard above and said, "Clean up that courtyard as well. If the rain is too heavy, we will all move here."
