The greenhouse was built very quickly, a vegetable garden covering an area of three acres, densely packed with hundreds of people involved in the construction, a large number of bamboo and wood were continuously transported, a few days to rise from the ground, with rough wood to build a skeleton, with wooden planks to make a ceiling, with bamboo as a support, the straw curtain made of corn soon surrounded all around the greenhouse, and then a day later, the glass factory transported a large number of two feet square flat glass, the craftsmen carefully installed these glasses at intervals of two feet and fixed with bamboo strips, and the rest of the place is still covered with straw curtains, Three days later, a huge greenhouse was completed.

The cost of this greenhouse is very expensive, and more than 500 pieces of glass are used, and the investment is not less than 100,000 yuan.

After the completion of the greenhouse, all the people involved in the construction walked into the spacious and bright greenhouse to visit, and they were all amazed by Chen Xu's unbelievable generosity, but they were also all puzzled, and they didn't know what Hou Ye wanted to use such a valuable glass to make a greenhouse to cover the vegetable patch.

And this matter was soon spread by the servants of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion and the craftsmen who participated in the construction, every day a large number of people from all over Xianyang ran to the Qinghe Courtyard to watch this strange building, and in just a few days it was spread that Xianyang was a household name, Chen Xu was not only curious about the civil and military officials, but even the emperor also asked a few words.

When they learned that Chen Xu was going to grow fruits and vegetables that could only be eaten in spring and summer in the glass greenhouse, everyone expressed serious doubts, and the emperor just smiled and began to deal with government affairs.

And Chen Xu naturally didn't bother to explain this matter,

After the greenhouse was completed, Chen Xu went into the greenhouse every day after the day, instructed the servants in the house and several students and teachers of the Agricultural College to start planting some fruit and vegetable seedlings that can only be sown in spring and summer, and even planted some flowers and plants such as orchids and roses.

"Husband, do you think these flowers and vegetables can really bloom and bear fruit in the greenhouse?" Curious, the water that followed Chen Xu's side and helped in the greenhouse was very puzzled.

"Of course, this greenhouse isolates the cold air outside, can maintain temperature and humidity, and can also transmit light, to ensure that the crops need sunlight, you see that it is only a few days, the color of these melons, fruits and vegetables seedlings will be a little green, and after a month or two, these fruits and vegetables will bloom and bear fruit, and when the cold winter is over, maybe we will be able to eat fresh and crisp fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions!" Chen Xu said with a smile while digging the soil.

"Daddy, I want to eat melons!" Chen Xi, who was more than two years old, was running around in the greenhouse excitedly, his little face flushed.

"Okay, Daddy will definitely let the baby eat delicious melons in winter!" Chen Xu tapped her little face with his mud-stained fingers, and in an instant, there was a black fingerprint on her white and tender forehead.

"Xi'er, come to my mother!" Ying Shiyan hurriedly hugged Chen Xi in her arms and carefully wiped the mud off her forehead.

"How can a child be so pampered, let her run on the ground, this greenhouse is warm, and it will be fine!"

"I'm afraid that Xi'er will trample on the vegetable seedlings planted by my husband!"

"You're just too spoiled, I was crawling in the mud ditch when I was a child!" Chen Xu shook his head helplessly.

"How can this be compared, Xi'er is still young......" Ying Shiyan blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Xu.

"Auntie, I dug up a pot of lilies...... The straw curtain of the greenhouse was lifted, and Yu Ji ran in excitedly with a flower pot.

"Here, put it next to the orchid!" Shui gently beckoned quickly, for fear that this girl, who had developed a habit of wind and fire with Xing'er, would trample on the planted vegetable seedlings.

"Brother, I dug up a peony!" Xing'er also ran in after Yu Ji's buttocks, holding a lump of grass roots in her hand.

"Hey, that's a good thing!" Chen Xu took it and looked at it a few times, and then praised Xing'er a few words, and then asked her to dig a pit and plant it near a bush of roses.

Soon Meng Wan also came in with a flower pot carrying a ginger in it.

Because I heard that the greenhouse can be planted with fruits, vegetables and flowers that bloom and bear fruit in spring and summer, everyone in the Hou Mansion is very interested, especially Meng Wan and Xinger Yu Ji, almost every day will look for all kinds of flowers and plants roots and seeds to plant in the greenhouse, Chen Xu had to vacate a circle along the greenhouse for them to play and plant, now a few days have passed, there are more than ten kinds of flowers and plants planted, of course, Chen Xu himself is also looking forward to seeing these beautiful flowers and plants when the snow is falling in the cold winter.

September flies by in a blink of an eye, and the temperature begins to drop soon after entering October, and the mountains and fields have withered and yellowed, and you can already see the frost all over the ground in the morning.

Although the weather outside is getting colder day by day, but the greenhouse is warm like spring, so the greenhouse has become the most lively place in the whole courtyard, the water is gentle Ying Shiyan with a group of maids almost every day to stay in it to plant flowers and plants to serve vegetables and melon seedlings, and even a group of princesses will come to see the lively help when they are free, and the laughter and laughter can be heard almost all day long in the entire greenhouse.

In just over ten days, eggplant and cucumbers have grown more than a foot high, and the leaves are verdant and green, which looks very pleasing, and the vines of watermelon seedlings and cantaloupe have also crept into a large area of green, which is yellow and wilted after autumn.

After a grand sacrifice, Great Qin ushered in the beginning of the thirty-fourth year of the first emperor.

After the New Year's Festival, the Keju Commercial Plaza was completed, the three-story commercial buildings around the Keju Field were all completed, and a large number of shops were renovated and ready to officially open for business.

On October 15th, the whole Keju commercial square was lit up, hundreds of red lanterns were hung all over the building, colorful flags were planted all around the square, in the noisy gongs, drums and firecrackers, several lion dance teams tossed and jumped on the wide square, hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the square to watch this lively scene like a festival, in addition to the ordinary people, many officials and princes and princes dragged their families to watch this grand opening ceremony, and even the concubines and princesses of the palace watched the excitement, all want to walk into this comprehensive shopping mall that is said to make people linger in it.

In front of the newly opened Qinghe shopping mall, two rows of huge flower pots are placed on both sides, and the flower pots are planted with clumsy pine and cypress roots, and some small red lanterns are hung on them, which looks very festive.

Two huge wooden pillars at the entrance are engraved with a couplet: business is prosperous and leads to the four seas, and the wealth is rich to the three rivers.

Each word has a big bucket, half-seal and half-subordinate style, which is filled with gold dust, which looks both majestic and atmospheric, with a strong taste of secular businessmen.

"Congratulations on the opening of Hou Ye's new shop!"

"Haha, happy and happy, thank you for coming!"

Chen Xu stood under a huge plaque that was more than two feet long and more than five feet wide, wearing a jade crown and a brand-new brocade robe, and kept bowing his hands to the civil and military officials and wealthy businessmen who came to congratulate him with a smile on his face.

On the steps behind Chen Xu, there were two rows of young and beautiful women wearing colorful skirts on both sides, wearing colorful ribbons, with a friendly smile on their faces, and they saluted the people who walked into the mall with a friendly smile, and each of them gave a voucher with a face value of five hundred yuan, this voucher can also be used with a VIP card, it is a real discount, not fraudulent at all, and even if the guest is thick-skinned enough, he can directly use this voucher to buy goods worth less than five hundred yuan, which is completely free.

However, when the world-famous Daqin Zuoxiang and Qinghe Hou Commercial Property opened, there would definitely be no one who could pull down the bottom and take it for nothing, and the people who came to cheer would inevitably spend a sum of money more or less.

Qinghe Shopping Mall is the largest commercial building in the entire commercial building, with a total of three floors and an area of nearly 3,000 square meters.

The first floor is mainly engaged in porcelain, glass, tea, sugar and wine, fruit vinegar, gold, silver and jade, mirror mahjong, etc., all of which are made of precious wood shelves and counters, and the display cabinets of gold, silver and jade are inlaid with glass, although in Chen Xu's view, these display cabinets and the brightly lit shopping malls of later generations are completely incomparable, and they are rough and forced, just like the appearance of the township supply and marketing cooperatives in the sixties and seventies in the later generations, but in the eyes of the Daqin people now, these have been luxurious to the point of extreme luxury, and people who see them for the first time will feel that they are completely hillbillies.

The second floor is mainly engaged in clothes, shoes and hats, in addition to the original varieties of clothes in the Qinghe store, Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan gathered a group of students from the women's college to move the Nishang Clothes House in, occupying one-third of the entire second floor, so Chen Xu specially designated this area as a men's stopping area, which can only be entered by women, and there are special security guards at the door to guard, and there is a fitting room inside.

In order to ensure the effect of the customer's try-on, Chen Xu also asked the glass factory to customize several huge glass mirrors.

Because there is no large-area flat glass manufacturing process and silver plating process, the uneven thickness of the glass and the tin foil as a reflective layer are not very suitable, resulting in a somewhat distorted figure, but this huge and clear mirror makes everyone who sees it for the first time speechless.

Of course, after this kind of mirror came out, Chen Xu also sent a few pieces to the emperor, which was warmly praised by the emperor, and specially got a piece to install at the door of his bedroom.
