"Madam, where am I being more serious, you ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law, have they ever heard of growing vegetables in the house~?"

Mrs. Li's words, with a very obvious bias, Li Jingmo was immediately dissatisfied, saying that he is now an official person, why is his status in the family still so low? Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Ye Guozhong saw Li Jingmo turn the conversation to him, he thought for a while, and said: "There was no before, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, Xiao Xuan has been good at creating miracles in the past year since he returned to Chang'an, Jingmo, as a father, why don't you even believe in your own son?" ”

Rarely, Ye Guozhong actually began to speak for Li Zexuan.

The old lady of the Ye family smiled when she heard this: "The master is right, Xuan'er, this kid is not like a person who talks casually!" Jingmo, you are talking so much now, you will have to go hungry in the future~! ”

The old lady's words immediately made everyone laugh.

Lan'er clapped her hands and said, "Hehe! Daddy's going hungry! But don't worry, Daddy, Lan'er will come back and give you food~! ”

Deliver food~? Your father and I are not going to prison, I can use your little girl to send me food~?

Li Jingmo's old face darkened, and everyone laughed again.

While a few people were talking, two rows of wooden sticks of the same height had been inserted on the edge of the ground in the courtyard, and there was a curved bamboo strip on the top of the two wooden cabinets, which really looked like the frame of a house.

Li Zexuan didn't care about being poor with his father at this time, he went down in person, commanded the servants at home, and tied the customized white oilcloth to the bracket one by one.

There was no plastic in this era, Li Zexuan thought about it, so he had to replace it with an oilcloth, saying that it was a white oilcloth, but how could the white cloth still be white after being soaked in tung oil? It looks like a dark yellow, but even so, it is much better than black, after all, black cloth absorbs light and does not allow light to be transparent, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetables at that time!

These oilcloths were specially made by Li Zexuan, and at certain distances, two sections of rope were attached to them to tie them to the brackets that had been inserted in advance.

The winter in the north is particularly cold, in order to be on the safe side, a layer of tarpaulin is not enough to solve the problem, Li Zexuan is to make this greenhouse, into a double-layer tarpaulin structure inside and outside, so that this greenhouse is more insulated.

Of course, in addition to this, Li Zexuan also prepared a set of thermal insulation schemes, that is, the "natural" heating method.

The so-called natural heating does not increase the temperature for no reason, but the action of a miraculous substance, which is the leavening culture.

The specific method is: when preparing the land, making furrows or making seedbeds, fill the soil with cow manure, pig manure, fresh garbage, manure and crushed straw and straw, and then add an appropriate amount of wheat malt or koji as a starter culture, and finally fill the vegetable garden soil, so that the microorganisms in the starter culture can use the raw materials to work.

These raw materials can slowly release geothermal heat, gradually increasing the temperature of the soil and air to ensure the normal growth of plants.

Although Li Zexuan has never farmed in this life, don't forget that in his previous life, he was born in a peasant family, and at that time his family used to build a greenhouse, and this method of microbial fermentation and exothermy was used to ensure the temperature of the greenhouse, and it turned out that the effect was quite good.

It's just that the starter culture they used at that time was also an industrial starter culture, and the effect might be a little better than barley or koji.

More than 20 servants took more than an hour to "build" the greenhouse with an area of less than half an acre.

The first time she saw this kind of long "house", Lan'er was very excited, the little girl shuttled around in the greenhouse, but she didn't know that she was tired, and she couldn't pull it out, as if she wanted to treat this place as her new home.

But when Sanbao picked up a load of dung, no one needed to say anything, this girl ran out as fast as she could!

"Stinky Three Treasures! You're idle, why are you picking up two buckets of feces, ah, you stink to death, you're disgusting! ”

Lan'er covered her nose and scolded as she ran.

"Miss, I... I.... It was the young master who made me ....."

Sanbao looked aggrieved, in fact, he didn't want to pick this stinky thing, wasn't this what Li Zexuan requested?

"Okay, Sanbao, I'll have people fill the vegetable field with horse manure and cow dung, then sprinkle wheat koji, and then plant the seeds of woad, cold melon, leek, and shepherd's cabbage for me!"

Li Zexuan interrupted Sanbao's words and commanded.

It is said that these dung are not ordinary dung, but fresh horse dung and cow dung, this thing is not easy to come by, the government dispatched dozens of servants, as well as more than a dozen personal guards led by Pang Feiji, together with the horse, almost all the cow dung and horse dung on the houses of every household in Chang'an City were collected.

The reason why cow dung and horse manure are used instead of human manure is mainly because cows and horses are herbivores, and the manure contains undigested residues, which are easier to ferment, and the products after fermentation are more fertile for vegetables!

"Okay! Master! ”

Sanbao answered, took the other servants, and began to work in full swing.

All of a sudden, the West Courtyard was stinking.

Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, Ye Guozhong and the others couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly walked out of the West Courtyard.

Although Li Zexuan has a method of holding his breath and is not afraid of this smell, his daughter-in-law Han Yu is afraid! So he also dragged Han Yuxi out.

"Cousin, do you really have the confidence to grow vegetables in this house~?"

Ye Fashan sat behind and asked Li Zexuan in a loud voice.

Li Zexuan smiled confidently and said, "Of course! Not surprisingly, during the Chinese New Year, you should be able to eat this dish in Fashan! Ha ha! You won't be able to eat these new things during the New Year in Nanyang! ”

"Thanks to my cousin!"

Ye Fashan smiled and catered to him, and then continued to ask: "Spring planting and autumn harvest, this is the way of heaven, cousin, you grow vegetables in winter, isn't it against the way of heaven?" ”

Li Zexuan looked at the unlucky child and said speechlessly: "You have to get it, where are there so many ways, your cousin and I just want to eat a little bit of the vegetables we grow, how can it be against the way of heaven?" Fashan, don't be so rigid all day long, life, if you want to live a good life, you must... Ahem, it's not okay to be careful! Think about it yourself! ”

After that, he patted Ye Fashan on the shoulder, then turned his head to Han Yu and said, "Lady, you will go back to Yunshan for a while, do you want to go with you?" ”

Han Yuxi thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, the concubine will also go, maybe she can help the minister!" ”

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "That's okay, let people prepare a carriage for the husband~!" ”
