Chapter 299: Growing Medicine in a Warm Shed
After Xiao Ding returned to Luoxia Village, he immediately began to direct the construction of the house and other affairs. Seeing that Ou Muyun had built a kiln to be used for refining in the past few days when he was out, he also had a supportive and encouraging attitude to let him do it.
Thinking that it was about to enter the planting season, it would not be long before the vegetables planted by the farmers would mature and flood into the market, and the vegetables in their own greenhouses would no longer have a competitive advantage, so Xiao Ding patted his head and thought of another way out.
As for what to plant in the greenhouse in summer, Xiao Ding has no specific clue in his heart. As far as he knows, the vegetable farmers who used the greenhouse to grow vegetables in later generations seem to be growing vegetables all year round, but the vegetables grown in different seasons are different.
But in this era, if you still grow vegetables in summer, it will definitely not be competitive, because there are many farmers in this era, and when it comes to the planting season, everyone will plant all kinds of vegetables in this era, and at that time, no kind of vegetables will be scarce.
Thinking of the headache, he didn't come up with anything better, he just wanted to lie down on the kang and rest for a while. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a small cloth bag stuffed in the gap between the wall and the cabinet.
Xiao Ding reached out and took out the small cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it was covered with dozens of red ginseng seeds. This ginseng seed is the ginseng seed that he picked together when he went to Luoxia Mountain and accidentally got a hundred years of ginseng, and after he came back, the ginseng was taken and sold, but the ginseng seed was put into a cloth bag and handed over to Erniu for safekeeping.
Unexpectedly, after moving to a new house, the ginseng seeds were stuffed in the gap between the cabinet and the wall.
Seeing the ginseng seeds, Xiao Ding's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hey! Why don't you use a greenhouse to grow medicinal herbs?
Because the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are suitable, and the water is abundant, the growth rate of the plants inside is much faster than that of the plants outside. The maturation cycle will also be shorter. The use of greenhouses to grow medicinal herbs has undoubtedly shortened the growth cycle of medicinal herbs.
Moreover, Xiao Ding also thought that on the other hand, if he wanted to learn alchemy in the future, he would definitely need a lot of medicinal materials to practice his hands. With the medicinal herbs grown at home, you don't have to worry about not having any medicinal herbs to practice! Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding became happy.
So, he immediately called the Ou brothers and sisters, Xiaoya, Xiao'e, Xiaofu, as well as Liu San and Bai Junfei, Luo Dafeng, Sun Dasheng, Fan Sanpang and others, and asked them to go to the hill behind or Luoxia Mountain from tomorrow to find all kinds of common herbs, or collect medicinal seeds, or dig them up by the roots.
For some common herbs, most people in the mountains can recognize some of them. People like Fan Sanpang and Bai Junfei can also recognize some of them.
Xiao Ding also decided that when he had time in the future, he would go into the mountains with them and teach them more about herbs. After all, he could already recognize a lot of herbs, and Yue Yurou had also taught him a lot of herbs. Of these people in the family, he is the one who knows the most about herbs.
After listening to Xiao Ding's idea, everyone felt that the solution that Xiao Ding thought of was also good, so they expressed their full support.
From this day on, except for Zhao Hu and Zhao Laixi, who were still picking vegetables and selling vegetables in the greenhouse, the others were all mobilized by Xiaoding to go to the mountains to look for herbs.
Xiao Ding followed a few times and guided everyone to learn about a variety of herbs.
Everyone either collected the remaining medicinal seeds, or dug up the herbs by roots and put them in the back basket, and when they returned home, they planted them directly in the wooden box of the greenhouse.
After the vegetables in the greenhouse are picked, they are no longer replanted, but are planted or cultivated with herbs in different categories. Then manage it carefully.
,
Within a few days, many kinds of herbs were planted or cultivated in the greenhouse. Xiao Ding was secretly happy when he saw it.
The waterhole on the hill behind, under the leadership of Uncle Niu, has already been repaired with cement these days, and together with the pool used for bathing in the cave on the top of the mountain, Uncle Niu also asked people to re-wipe it with cement. The surface is very smooth.
Next, it's time to build the house. But Xiao Ding asked Second Uncle Niu to build the courtyard wall first. It's also a big job. Dozens of acres of land, all enclosed by courtyard walls, this workload is not much less than the workload of building a house.
However, the materials for the construction of the wall have already been prepared, and it is only necessary to build it with stone and cement.
The reason why Xiao Ding wanted Second Uncle Niu to build the courtyard wall first was because he had never forgotten the man in black who had been here a few times. If there were courtyard walls, the men in black would not be able to come over unnoticed.
However, at this time, there is still a problem, the villagers are about to face farming, and when it is busy, the number of workers who can come to Xiaoding's house to work will be greatly reduced, which will seriously affect the progress of the project.
Xiao Ding is expected to use a month or two to completely build this house. Because he was about to face an agreement to go to Jiaozhou Xijian Villa for a party. Jiaozhou is far away from Yongzhou Mountain, even if a person rides a horse alone, it is estimated that it will take at least a month to walk. What's more, he promised Yue Yurou that when he left, he would call them on the road together.
If there are many people, the journey must be slow. So it takes at least two months to prepare.
It is now the end of March in the old calendar, and it is about to reach April, and it is just over three months away from July 15. Therefore, he hopes to arrange everything in the house as well as possible before he leaves home.
Another reason is that the family is overcrowded now, and those eight houses are simply not enough to live in. After Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng came back, they were also reluctantly inserted into other people's rooms.
Seeing that summer is coming, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and if there are too many people living in one room, it will be extremely boring. Moreover, Xiao Ding also plans to give Bai Junfei and Zheng Dieer, Liu San and Jiang, Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng as soon as possible, and these three couples will preside over the wedding as soon as possible and let them get married. Therefore, it is better to complete the construction of this new house as soon as possible.
In order to allow the villagers to complete the ploughing as soon as possible so that they can come back to work. Xiao Ding decided to lend all the horses in his family to the villagers, although the horses are not as good as plowing cattle, but they are still much faster than using all human labor.
After hearing the news, the villagers who worked in Xiao Ding's house were all happy. In Luoxia Village, except for a ploughing cow in the family of Village Chief He, there is no one in other people's families who can afford to buy cattle at all. When they heard that little Dinken had lent them the horses on the back hill to plough the land, they would of course be overjoyed. The villagers who did not work at Xiao Ding's house looked at the other villagers with envy and regretted not signing up to work at Xiao Ding's house.
After everything at home was arranged, Xiao Ding still had an important thing to do, that is, to take the Red Lian Yan Pill and make a breakthrough in the exercises.
Xiao Ding walked around the room and said to himself, where would it be better to go for a retreat?
