"That's great! Oh...and what about tofu?"

Mrs. Guo's eyes lit up and she began to ask.

"I can do that, too."

Xu Liyun answered confidently.

"Mrs. Zhang, you are truly powerful!"

While Mrs. Guo was praising him, she secretly compared herself in her heart and thought that although her cooking skills were pretty good, they were mostly just imitations of others and she could never come up with anything new.

"Oh, that's nothing."

Xu Liyun smiled shyly. After all, these were all borrowed from the original owner's wisdom. She was able to make tofu with the help of the mysterious space. The next plan would also be inseparable from that magical space. Alas!

"I have another idea, also about vegetables."

There was a gleam in Xu Liyun's eyes.

"Say it quickly!"

Everyone urged them on, and everyone seemed extremely excited. Fresh vegetables, what an attractive word!

"We applied for a piece of land and built a greenhouse as a shared resource for the whole village. We grow vegetables in it. It takes about 20 days to harvest, and the excess can be sold at the market."

Xu Liyun's proposal made everyone's eyes light up.

“Is this greenhouse really feasible?”

Several people looked at her, with hope in their eyes but also doubt.

"Absolutely no problem. The village chief has agreed to pay the workers for the greenhouse construction at 15 cents a day. In addition to the greenhouse, the land outside the greenhouse cannot be wasted. When the vegetables in the greenhouse are eaten up, the land can be used to take over. Otherwise, it would be unacceptable if the new house is built and everyone has no vegetables to eat."

Xu Liyun is full of confidence and all the plans seem to be well planned.

Hey!

She touched her stomach gently, her craving for vegetables was almost reaching its limit.

After hearing these words, everyone's face blossomed into bright smiles, and the spring breeze blew on their faces, bringing warmth to everyone.

Nowadays, even children can participate in logistics work, earning a stable income of eight cents a day. The extra income naturally makes people happy.

"When will the greenhouse construction begin? I want to sign up!"

There was a positive response from the crowd.

"Count me in!"

Some people couldn't wait to join the registration.

When the morning light breaks tomorrow, the first thing to do is to find a precious piece of land. We must select some strong men, otherwise it may be difficult to cope with the arduous task. "

Fu Zhishang's wife, who was from Yangtai Village and was called Fu Fu, spoke with confidence, "Don't worry, my strength is not inferior to that of men."

After saying this, she waved her clenched fist vigorously in front of everyone, as if drawing a solid promise in the air. Her words were firm and unquestionable.

The villagers were infected by her open-minded and cheerful personality, and their laughter gently floated in the winter air.

In this cold season, having a warm quilt and sleeping until the sun gently wakes you up is undoubtedly a small happiness in ordinary life.

As the morning light began to shine, Xu Liyun had already wrapped the child tightly and urged Zhang Laoer to get up softly, "Hurry up and get up."

She gently pushed the figure under the quilt, "Didn't we agree to go inspect the site today?"

Seeing that he didn't move, she continued pushing with some stubbornness.

Although Zhang Laoer tried to pretend to be asleep in the bed, he finally succumbed to his partner's gentle but firm persistence and sat up reluctantly.

Afterwards, they entrusted the young Zhang Louxuan to the care of Mrs. Zhang in the next tent, and the family of three set out on their journey.

Last night, Mrs. Guo also mentioned this matter to the elders in the family.

Therefore, when the morning light first broke, Mr. Guo and several members of the logistics team had already gathered at the east end of the village, waiting for their arrival.

"Village Chief Zhang, what exactly does this greenhouse look like? I heard my wife talk about it last night and I was really confused."

Although Mr. Guo arrived at the scene, the confusion in his heart had not yet dissipated.

Zhang Laoer explained casually: "It's nothing special. It's just a giant tent. The ground is heated to keep warm, and vegetables are grown inside."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liyun couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. For a moment, she felt that this idea was simple but hit the nail on the head.

"Can it really be grown?"

Everyone's minds were previously preoccupied with the matters of building houses and providing meals, and they had never expected that there would be a plan to grow vegetables.

"Don't worry, we will ensure that the villagers can eat fresh vegetables. Maybe we can even grow more and sell them at the market."

Zhang Laoer was thinking that with only a month left until the Chinese New Year, he might be able to gain something small before the New Year.

"That's great!"

When Mr. Guo heard that it was profitable, he was immediately excited and couldn't wait to ask about the construction location.

"The land on the east side near the foot of the mountain. It will belong to the village collective in the future and will not be allocated to individuals."

Zhang Laoer had already made a plan in mind. Because the land was close to the mountains and far away from the river, the soil was not as fertile as that near the river, so he made this arrangement.

"A-Mao, take a few strong men to the carpentry team to pick out some suitable wood. This time we are not just building a tent, but a 20-meter-long greenhouse, which is different from the usual ones. Bring tree bark as well. The materials are in short supply, so we can only make do with what we have. In addition, go to the brick factory and order a thousand bricks."

"Go ahead, order. Go do it immediately."

As soon as Liu Mao finished speaking, he immediately called on a few people to go with him.

When Fu Jun learned about the bricks used in the greenhouse that Liu Mao mentioned, his brows furrowed.

The huge demand for house construction has already overwhelmed them, and with new orders for greenhouses, existing resources will become even more scarce, especially as tiles have not yet arrived.

"The demand is huge? The progress here is already very tight."

"The village chief said it can be solved in a few days. Look at my memory. I'll reserve one thousand yuan first."

Liu Maoyi was so excited that he almost forgot the exact number. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"ok, I get it."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jun felt slightly relieved, as one thousand yuan was still within his ability to handle it.

"Mr. Guo, is there anyone in the village who is good at building earthen kangs?"

Zhang Laoer considered trying to grow vegetables on the earthen kang, but given the cold climate here, open-air planting was not effective and the survival rate was low.

He was determined to adopt Xu Liyun's suggestion that outdoor planting should not be neglected while building greenhouses.

"Earth bed? We don't have this here. No one knows how to build one."

Uncle Guo frowned, he seemed to have heard this name from a traveling merchant a long time ago, it was a facility used for heating in the northern region.

If not for this, he really wouldn't know what this earthen kang was.

When Zhang Laoer mentioned the earthen kang, Xu Liyun immediately realized his intention, which was to grow vegetables by building an earthen kang.

At present, the village is short of resources. This method is direct and efficient. Once the manpower is gathered, it can be put into use within a few days.

Then Zhang Laoer asked, "As for building a stove, there should be many people in the village who are good at it, right?"

"Building a stove is easy for most villagers."

In rural areas, almost every household has their own stove built at home.

"That would be much easier."

They have the blueprints in their hands and all they have to do is copy them.

The couple has been supervising the work next to the greenhouse for several days. On the first day, the 20-meter-long scaffolding was erected. On the next day, bricks and tiles were delivered, and soil was collected nearby. Three rows of earthen kangs were quickly laid in the shed, but it still takes two days before it can be officially put into use.
