Chapter 226: Building a Greenhouse for Vegetables

Lin Wanxia did what she said.

After breakfast, she started to work.

Of course, she needed Jiang Sinian's cooperation before she could work. He marked out a piece of land for her to use as a vegetable garden.

Currently, this is a deserted island. There are no residents except for the troops stationed here.

The units that build infrastructure and houses will have to come after the ice melts in spring at the earliest.

After all, there is only one little dragon girl like Lin Wanxia.

Besides training, Jiang Sinian and his team cleaned up the entire island, such as logging and rock-cutting.

There are no people on the island, but there are dense forests.

There are even wild animals in the forest.

If people want to live on the island in the future, of course there must be no hidden dangers.

They have more people and more strength. After leveling the land, they will conduct a carpet search of the island in order to drive out those large animals.

Since they moved into the island, they have gained a lot. At least they can hunt and get some wild game every now and then.

The felled trees are processed into wood, which can be used to build houses and furniture in the future.

After the trees are cut down, a fire is set to burn all the poisonous insects, snakes, rats and ants.

In the early 1980s, environmental awareness was not strong.

But Lin Wanxia would not be stupid enough to popularize environmental protection issues with them.

First of all, this is a deserted island, and it is a small deserted island. If you want to live here, you have to clear it all.

Secondly, there are all kinds of animals in the original forest, and leaving it there is a safety hazard.

In addition, this is an island that has just been recovered, and other countries are still eyeing it!

If someone touches the island, the dense forest will be a perfect place to hide.

The stones that were dug up can be used to build houses or defense walls next year. If that doesn't work, they can be used to reclaim the sea. In the end, it won't be a waste.

Jiang Sinian said that as long as the place on the island has been cleared, Lin Wanxia can pick any place.

Lin Wanxia picked a place on the edge of the original forest.

This place had just been cleared by Jiang Sinian and his team, and there were no weeds.

She took Xingxing to start planting vegetables.

If you want to plant vegetables in winter, you naturally have to build a greenhouse first.

There are no greenhouses in the island city, or to be exact, they don't have any in the entire city.

Lin Wanxia didn't know much about this part. After all, she was not an encyclopedia before she traveled through the book.

But she heard Chen Manshu mention it.

It is said that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, greenhouses were first developed in a city in the northeast.

Supplying vegetables off-season, earning a million yuan, and even appearing in newspapers.

Later, many people from other cities went there to learn.

Gradually, greenhouses began to become popular, and with the reform and opening up, greenhouses became more and more popular.

But even Chen Manshu doesn't know where it originated.

These are not important, as long as Lin Wanxia can give a reasonable answer when everyone asks her how she came up with this method of planting.

The first step in building a greenhouse is to build a frame.

The frame is a combination of steel bars and bamboo.

She brought too many supplies, and the fishing boat has limited carrying capacity.

For the same weight, more bamboo can be loaded than steel bars.

Mainly to save money.

Of course, bamboo is not as durable as steel bars.

However, Lin Wanxia only came to the island to celebrate the New Year, and she would not stay here often, so it didn't matter even if it was a one-time thing.

Jiang Sinian was busy with training and couldn't help Lin Wanxia all the time.

Lin Wanxia had to use a shovel to dig deep pits for burying the piles.

In winter, even the soil is hard, and digging pits is very difficult.

Lin Wanxia and Xingxing only dug five or six pits in the whole day.

In the afternoon, after Jiang Sinian finished work, he called a few soldiers to help.

There is strength in numbers, and soon with everyone's help, two rows of pits were dug symmetrically on both sides of the rectangular plot.

They also buried the wooden piles and filled the soil back to compact it.

While everyone was busy, Lin Wanxia was busy preparing dinner.

You can't go back hungry after helping her work.

The kitchen team provides meals on time, and there will be no more after a while.

Besides, they are all young guys who only eat, and they will get hungry after doing so much work.

Lin Wanxia made a midnight snack.

The easiest meal in winter is hot pot.

Just wash all kinds of meat, vegetables and seafood and put them aside, and cook them right when you eat them.

The hot pot base was made for Lin Wanxia by Li Chengxiang after she described it.

The best butter base is so fragrant when it is dissolved in water!

The seafood is freshly caught from the sea, crabs, prawns, scallops, kelp, etc., only the types suitable for hot pot are selected.

There is enough pork and mutton, but not much beef.

The breeding industry in the island city is not developed enough now. To be precise, there are people who specialize in raising cattle and selling meat, most of which are oxen for farming.

Oxen for farming are the lifeblood of the people, and few people in the village will sell them.

There are not many families with cattle in the main villages.

In 1983, the island city was basically still cultivated by hand.

Farmers who have cows, mules and donkeys are all well-known.

During the busy farming season, people line up to ask them for help.

However, cows and donkeys at home can also give birth to calves.

If a cow gives birth to a heifer, it will basically be kept and raised.

If it is a bullock, it will be sold after one or two years.

Lin Wanxia searched for a long time in the island city and found only one family that might sell a bullock, but the owner was not at home when she went there. Later, she was busy with things and did not go a second time.

When she goes home next time, she must bring a cow, no, two, one male and one female.

Even if there is only pork, the young man is very happy.

Lin Wanxia didn't know how to steam buns, so she made a lot of hand-rolled noodles as a staple food for everyone.

While eating, the young men asked Lin Wanxia about what was happening on the shore. As

Lin Wanxia listened, she realized something was wrong.

The young officers and soldiers looked very happy and cheerful, but they sighed too often.

They didn't even realize that they were sighing.

Before she traveled through the book, Lin Wanxia was a top dock designer, and most of the time she worked in a closed environment.

For example, everyone ate and lived in the same building.

During the long working hours of several months, the only people they could see were each other, and even their mobile phones would be confiscated.

The room would be equipped with a computer connected to the Internet, which would be monitored.

Just like being quarantined at home during the mask period, you can be happy and excited for one or two days, and you can be peaceful for one or two weeks, but if you are more, you will feel collapsed. During

the mask period, people all over the country stayed at home to recuperate after childbirth, and they had fun on short videos.

Home fitness, running, traveling, vacationing, opening supermarkets, etc. cannot change people's desire to go out.

From the beginning, "Not going out is a contribution to the country, I want to add bricks and tiles to the motherland" to "I want to go to work tomorrow! I can work overtime." I can't wait.

People are social animals and need to socialize.

Long-term isolation is prone to psychological problems.

When Lin Wanxia was closed before, they were equipped with psychologists for psychological counseling.

In Lin Wanxia's experience, these soldiers were trapped on the island, and the psychological pressure would be great, and problems would easily arise over time.

In 1983, ordinary units in the army did not have psychiatrists.
