The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 61 The greenhouse is completed

That farce made the old Mo family the laughing stock of the entire Liuyang Village. Mo Hong not only lived up to his reputation as a fierce man by attacking her husband, but Mo Yongxi also became the laughing stock of the villagers. Many villagers heard that He shook his head at her name, and even told his daughter not to associate with her.

And her unscrupulous words also caused many people to make various speculations about the Mo family. However, due to the help of the Mo family, the villagers who would not see each other in the future did not dare to talk nonsense. Some upright men do not allow their mothers-in-law to talk to their children at home.

Mo Qingze runs to Liuyang Village every day, and it is inevitable that he will encounter some strange looks. However, he is not an impulsive and narrow-minded person. He has already looked away from some things and does not feel any embarrassment. However, he is worried that gossip will spread. to the ears of three children.

Fortunately, after a few days, no one in the village was talking about it. Mo Qingze also breathed a sigh of relief. In addition, the scaffolding of the greenhouse had been set up and all the ditches had been dug. He was too busy every day to keep his feet from touching the ground and had no time to go back. Think about this.

Since the construction of the greenhouse scaffolding began in the field, Mo Yan has been running to Liuyang Village every day, worried that the greenhouse was not properly built. Fortunately, it was not a difficult task, and everyone worked hard, and the scaffolding was very good and stable.

The most difficult part of the whole greenhouse is to build the heating earth stove. Although it may not be used, if there is wind and snow and the temperature drops sharply, even if there is a spiritual spring, Mo Yan cannot guarantee that the vegetables will not freeze to death, so She still spent a lot of effort and asked experienced masons to build it according to the closed fireplace in her previous life.

“Little boss, this fireplace is really nice. There is no smoke and no irritation when the fire is burning!”

After the fireplace of the first greenhouse was built, Mo Yan asked someone to light a fire and add firewood to test it. Unexpectedly, the effect was better than she expected. The onlookers looked at it and looked around. They found it very novel and some People even directly said they wanted to get one at home.

Mo Yan did not agree with them: "This thing is very convenient, but sparks can easily come out of the chimney and catch fire. Sometimes the temperature of the chimney is too high, which can easily cause a fire!"

In ancient times when construction materials were relatively backward, safety was not considered when using fireplaces to heat greenhouses. However, if they were used in homes, especially when the vast majority of villagers lived in thatched houses, the risk would be too great.

The villagers who were originally interested broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this. Fortunately, the owner warned him, otherwise he would have rashly made one at home, and if something happened, he would have no place to cry.

Seeing that they had listened, Mo Yan said no more and continued to have people build fireplaces for other greenhouses.

A total of twenty greenhouses were built on twenty acres of wasteland, almost one per acre, and there were two fireplaces per greenhouse.

As for what vegetables to grow on the twenty acres of wasteland, Mo Yan has already made plans. The capital is located in the north, and the climate is cold in winter. Except for cold-resistant radish and Chinese cabbage, there are no other vegetables. Even radish and Chinese cabbage must be taken back and stored well before freezing, otherwise they will freeze and rot.

In addition to greens, spinach, lettuce and other leafy vegetables that have a short growing season and are popular among people, Mo Yan also plans to grow luffa, cucumber, tomatoes and other melon and fruit vegetables with a long growing season. These vegetables are not afraid of a long growing season. Because even by May next year, they will still be sold at high prices; she also plans to plant two acres of seasonings such as garlic, onions, ginger, and green peppers.

The whole capital is so big, and there are so many powerful and wealthy businessmen. If these off-season vegetables are on the market in winter, Mo Yan believes that he will definitely make a lot of money, so that he won't have to worry about the money to buy the fruit trees on the hill next spring.

Within a few days, all forty fireplaces were built. Mo Yan handed the prepared vegetable seeds to a few old farmers who were good at growing vegetables and asked them to help plant them.

Except for the original vegetables in the space, she bought other vegetable seeds from the seed shop and planted them in the space several times before collecting them. In this way, the quality of the vegetable seeds was greatly improved. Among other things, the germination rate and disease resistance rate are better than those sold outside.

After all the seeds were planted, Mo Yan secretly poured a lot of spiritual spring water into the canal. She didn't dare to pour the spiritual spring water directly into the ground, otherwise the seeds would germinate the next day, wouldn't it cause trouble for herself?

Mo Yan was naturally confident as she held the spiritual spring in her hand, but Mo Qingze was so worried that several of his hair turned gray. I initially supported my daughter, and it was also the first time I heard about "greenhouse vegetables", so I agreed in a fit of enthusiasm. Later, wasteland was opened up, canals were dug, greenhouses were built, and various vegetable seeds were sown. Only later did he realize that he had been too impulsive.

"Dad, just be careful. The temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are enough, and there are people to take care of it. You can definitely grow vegetables!"

 In the hall, Mo Yan had a headache as she watched her father walking around, which made her dizzy. For the first time, she discovered that this steady father was sometimes not calm.

“Yan’er, Dad has seen everything today, and none of the seeds have sprouted. You have put in so much effort, won’t you be sad if it doesn’t work?”

Mo Qingze stared at his daughter speechlessly, "You heartless girl, the vegetables in the greenhouse are all your hard work, aren't you worried about your sadness?"

Mo Yan was even more speechless: "Dad, did you sleep well last night? The seeds were planted just the day before, and it's a **** thing that they sprouted today!"

Mo Qingze frowned and said uncertainly: "Did you really plant it just the day before yesterday? Why did dad remember to plant it for several days!"

Mo Yan rolled her eyes and continued to work on her hands. I’ve been busy these days, and the cotton-padded clothes and trousers I made for Sannier haven’t been finished yet!

Mo Qingze touched his nose awkwardly, feeling aggrieved by being despised by his daughter. Ever since the people in the village knew that their family wanted to grow vegetables in the greenhouse, they had tried to persuade him several times not to take the risk. When he went to Liuyang Village today, the old farmers who helped grow vegetables politely said no, which made him feel a little worried. Puer, can he not be anxious?

Xin'er and the others looked at their father (uncle) in a daze and couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering. Mo Qingze glared at them fiercely. He found that in the hearts of these children, he, as a father, His prestige is not as high as that of his eldest daughter. At least, the little guys never doubt what the eldest daughter says.

Sannier, who was sitting next to Xin'er and warming herself by the fire with her brother in her arms, looked at her cousin's family laughing with envy and felt an indescribable warmth. If their sisters were playing around with their parents like this, their parents would definitely say that they were ignorant. , grandma will dislike them even more.

She stayed at her cousin's house for almost ten days. It was the most comfortable day since she could remember. There were no quarrels or scoldings. She was well fed and clothed every day. Her cousins ​​were kind to her siblings, but my mother I will come to take her and her brother home tomorrow, alas!
