Chapter 12 Building a Warm House
In the early morning of this day, eating the mushroom stuffing small chaos carefully cooked by Mama Wang, Gu Xinyu asked Mama Wang where the mushrooms came from, and Mama Wang told Gu Xinyu that these were all sent by those hired workers, and there were pickled pickles, dried beans and other things in the stove room.
Gu Xinyu sighed, this is the most simple farmer, if you give him a little good, he can't wait to give you ten good things to repay you, thinking about those vicious women in the Guogong Mansion, Gu Xinyu shook his head, if possible, he would never want to step into the Guogong Mansion for the rest of his life!
After breakfast, Gu Xinyu took Wangcai to find Uncle Wang, the two came to the warehouse where the farm tools were placed, Gu Xinyu took out the sample of the Quyuan plow that had been painted a long time ago, and now the farming is a long straight plow, this kind of farm tool is not flexible when turning back, the soil is hard, and the efficiency is not high.
Gu Xinyu spent about eight years in his previous life working with the land, so he was very knowledgeable, and he was deeply impressed by this kind of short curved plough that appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, because this tool is still in use in some remote mountainous areas in modern times.
Uncle Wang is not surprised by any new ideas put forward by Gu Xinyu now, it seems to be a matter of course, it should be like this, and Gu Xinyu, whose vanity is not satisfied, is a little melancholy.
Gu Xinyu introduced the structure of the curved plough in detail, first of all, the straight wheel was changed to the curved wheel, and the plow plate that can be rotated freely was installed at the head of the wheel, so that the plow frame not only became smaller and lighter, but also convenient for turning and turning, the more Wang Bo listened, the more shocked he was, the more excited he listened, once this kind of curved plow was made, it was the first part of the Zhou Dynasty.
Uncle Wang couldn't wait to pick up the drawings and go to Dujia Village to find an old carpenter with good craftsmanship, and when he left, Gu Xinyu told Uncle Wang to use the power of the Guogong Mansion to warn the old carpenter not to leak the style, and to find a suitable time to take it out in the future, Uncle Wang nodded again and again, he understood this.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, Gu Xinyu asked a few hired workers to cut down dozens of trees in the back mountain, and Du Sanlang, who can do carpentry work, with the help of several other people, built a temporary greenhouse according to Gu Xinyu's idea, sitting in the north and facing south, in a triangular shape, the sun is sloping type, there is no plastic sheeting in this era, so a row of windows was built, pasted with window paper, and the outside was smeared with weeds and mud.
After the construction was completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because Gu Xinyu had strict requirements for the height and slope of the greenhouse, these people had never touched a similar house, and after the completion of the greenhouse, although it looked simple and rough, several people had a sense of accomplishment!
The conservatory is located on the south side of the storehouse, fifteen meters wide and less than two meters high, the roof is a loose pine pole, covered with a thick straw curtain, about 500 meters long, one side by the window is fertile black soil, one side of the wall is placed a long row of wooden shelves, and on each side is placed a large vat for watering.
Because of the limited conditions, at this time, it is impossible to buy green bricks to make the earth fire dragon, so in the middle is a row of charcoal pots to raise the indoor temperature, Gu Xinyu plans to plant vegetables on the black soil, so that the vegetables on the normal land can be marketed two months earlier than the normal land, and you can make a sum of silver.
Now the family's silver is only in and out, there are still a few months before the autumn harvest, Gu Xinyu is in charge for the first time, some things are simpler, a large family to eat and drink is a lot of consumption, recently bought logging tools and farm tools and food and other items, spent thirty taels of silver, plus to buy two cows to farm, in this era a cow also costs more than twenty taels of silver, chickens, ducks and geese also have to be raised, and then to build some sheds and enclosures, think about this silver can not last the autumn harvest at all, alas, headache!
Gu Xinyu planned to find an opportunity for Wangcai to go to the mountains and forests for a run, and then pretend to take back a Ganoderma lucidum, there is the smallest one in the space, take it out and sell it first, which can solve the urgent need.
Mama Wang looked at Gu Xinyu, who was tired and thin, very distressed, and she couldn't help anything other than cooking, so she changed her tricks to Gu Xinyu every day to adjust the food, fortunately, Gu Xinyu was a tanned skin, if she was dark and thin, Mama Wang might not be very uncomfortable.
Chunmei ran in and out with Gu Xinyu every day, until she was not tired and thin, and she was still tall, Mama Wang said that she was heartless, and as for Wangcai, she also grew a little, but her fur was still gray.
Gu Xinyu took Chunmei to the greenhouse for a turn, the indoor temperature was obviously seven or eight degrees higher than the outside, at night Uncle Wang and Xiao Tao were responsible for watching the charcoal fire, so that the black soil frozen below was all good, originally Gu Xinyu wanted to hire another person who specialized in watching the greenhouse, but Uncle Wang disagreed, now there is no income, you can save a little, and it is not much hard work, and after all, this is a new type of greenhouse and planting method, and it is not safe to hand it over to outsiders.
Gu Xinyu is right to think about it, you can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, now you are in the initial stage, nothing has become a scale, and good things really have to be eaten in a bowl.
Gu Xinyu looked at the situation of the soil and could use it in about five days, Wang Bo took six square wooden pots, sorted the seeds of cucumbers, cabbage, green onions, watermelons, peppers, eggplants and other vegetables, and put them in the salt water of the wooden pots one by one to select the seeds, and threw away the deflated seeds floating on them, and the rest were full seeds.
Gu Xinyu had already thought about it in advance, using the spiritual dew in the space to drop in the water to give birth to seed sprouts, after calculating that about one drop of these seeds was enough, this kind of anti-heaven thing Gu Xinyu did not intend to use for watering, because the stock was limited and could not be wasted.
When Gu Xinyu came in, he had already dripped spiritual dew in the water that invaded the seeds, and the water in this wooden barrel had actually turned into spiritual spring water.
After the seeds were selected, the water was evenly sprinkled on the seeds with Uncle Wang and Chunmei, and several people placed the wooden basins on the shelves, at this time the sunlight shone into the greenhouse through the window paper, the indoor temperature was very high, and it was a little hot in the jacket. It's just that because I don't understand a lot of things, I can't leave the big girl.
Gu Xinyu sweated with Chunmei in the cabin next to him, at this time medicine is not developed, a severe cold can kill people, although he has space, Linglu can't be used by people, as for the medicinal materials inside, it is a good thing, but Gu Xinyu still doesn't understand the habits of these medicinal materials, and the most important thing is that he doesn't want to get sick and suffer.
When the two came out, the sun hung obliquely in the treetops, and the smoke in Dujia Village not far away was misty, no matter which dynasty, only a point of effort had a point of gain, and many things Gu Xinyu had to track in person, otherwise the deviation would affect the harvest of the year, and it was not allowed to be sloppy.
Gu Xinyu felt hungry and tired, and Wangcai was wilting, he originally wanted to let Wangcai become Ganoderma lucidum, but looking at its small sample, Gu Xinyu was a little distressed, this little thing ran around the field with himself every day, and there was less and less of a wolf.
