Chapter 190: Pickles

When I returned to Qinjia Village from Jingyang County, it was almost noon.

The weather was still bleak at noon in late autumn.

Tang Rong didn't get the answer she wanted from Qin Tian's mouth, so she was a little angry when she went back, and went directly to the bedroom, and locked Qin Tian outside.

Qin Tian couldn't get in, he was very distressed, he was a well-behaved bag.

Thinking that he was like a jade for Tang Rong last night, but he was treated like this as a result, he suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart.

And just when Qin Tian felt aggrieved about this matter, he suddenly saw Fu Bo rushing to the backyard with his subordinates carrying a lot of vegetables.

Qin Tian was a little strange.

"Fubo, what are you doing with so many dishes?"

The Qin family manor in this matter has a large population, and the daily expenses are actually very large, and eating is one of them, but there are too many dishes in Fu Bo's lane.

"Young master, this is the eldest lady who asked her to get it, she said that the winter is coming soon, and the cost of our Qin family manor is large, so it is better to pickle all these vegetables that can be pickled, so that they can be preserved, and they can be eaten in winter."

Salted vegetables have been used in China for a long time, and although the taste will be much worse after pickling, it is better than not eating green vegetables in winter.

After hearing this, Qin Tian nodded: "Let's go pickle, but tell the eldest sister, it doesn't take so much, we can eat green vegetables this year." ”

Qin Feiyan pickled vegetables, so that Qin Tian suddenly thought of a way to make money, that is, to build a vegetable greenhouse, in this era, ordinary people basically can't eat vegetables in winter, only some people from the royal family can transport vegetables from some places in the south in winter.

Some meritorious ministers will occasionally be rewarded with some vegetables by the Son of Heaven, but they are all pitiful.

In Chang'an City, green vegetables can be said to be priceless and marketable, and you can't buy them if you want to.

If he grows the greens, he won't have to make a lot of money?

Qin Tian said this, but Fu Bo didn't care, and after a few perfunctory words, he ordered someone to carry those dishes to the backyard, Qin Tian saw Fu Bo like this, and immediately wanted to step forward and kick him twice.

What do you mean, look down on him?

Fu Bo's perfunctory behavior gave Qin Tian the urge to do it now.

So without hesitation, Qin Tian immediately found more than 20 slaves from the mansion and asked them to build a greenhouse in the open space to the east of the Qin family's manor.

In fact, the vegetable greenhouse is very simple, that is, it is surrounded by bricks piled up into a low wall, and then some shelves are erected on it, and then covered from above with transparent and warm things.

It was easy to build a low wall, and after Qin Tian ordered it to go down, those slaves began to do it.

Twenty or so slaves, by the time they were working by the evening, had almost finished the low wall, and the next day it would be a little more perfect, and the part of the low wall would be complete.

However, Qin Tian looked at these low walls, but he was suddenly embarrassed by the covering.

In later generations, the vegetable greenhouses are all oiled film paper, which can transmit light, but at the same time it is not airtight, which can ensure that the temperature in the greenhouse is very high and suitable for growing vegetables.

But there is no oil film paper in this era, and it is not easy for him to find a replacement in Datang.

When Qin Tian was worried about this little thing, in the bedroom, Xiaoqing had already told Tang Rong about Qin Tian's situation.

"Miss, my uncle doesn't know what he's doing, but he built a low wall in the open space above the house, do you think my uncle is stupid?"

Tang Rong glanced at Xiaoqing: "You are stupid, I can't be stupid." ”

Xiaoqing pursed her lips: "Then Miss, what do you say your uncle is going to do?" ”

"You didn't find out?"

"Nope!" Xiaoqing said with a casual smile, but her smile was quickly noticed by Tang Rong.

"Okay, you little hoof, you dare to hide it from me, don't you, tell me, what have you heard?"

Seeing that his careful thoughts were seen through by Tang Rong, Xiaoqing was very aggrieved, in fact, he wanted Tang Rong to ask in person, so that the deadlock between her aunt and her young lady would be broken.

But now that she has been recognized, she has no choice but to say it.

"I heard Fu Bo say that the young master is going to plant vegetables in winter, but Fu Bo doesn't believe it at all, he said that the young master has never planted land before, and he hasn't even taken farm tools for a day, so what he will do must be foolish."

Xiaoqing said and looked at Tang Rong, Tang Rong also felt that what Fu Bo said made sense, to say that her father-in-law was smart, that was really smart, but Qin Tian had never done this thing before, so how could he grow vegetables?

He can't even grow it in the spring, let alone in the winter.

But when she thought about it like this, Tang Rong felt that her father-in-law might really be able to grow vegetables, so many situations before, did her father-in-law fail that time?

If he didn't have faith, how could he do it?

Thinking like this, Tang Rong's heart suddenly became a little confused.

"Go and call the prime minister back."

When Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately rejoiced and ran out in a hurry.

As night fell, Qin Tian walked in from outside, glanced at Tang Rong when he came in, and then smiled facelessly: "Madame misses me?" ”

"Phew!" Tang Rong glared at Qin Tian angrily and asked, "I heard that you are going to grow vegetables in winter?" ”

Qin Tian smiled: "That's right, we're going to get rich." ”

Regarding whether to get rich or not, Tang Rong doesn't care now.

"We can't grow vegetables here in winter, the weather is too cold, and the vegetables don't sprout, how do you grow vegetables?"

"Madame, I don't know, the thing I built today can maintain a certain temperature in winter, and it can definitely make vegetables sprout and grow."

Qin Tian told Tang Rong about some of the situation in the vegetable greenhouse, and what he said was reasonable, Tang Rong listened to it, and became more and more confident in Qin Tian's matter of growing vegetables in winter.

"Xianggong said that there is some truth, but you said that vegetables need light and warmth, but what do you use to cover them?"

The growth of plants is mainly photosynthesis, light must be indispensable, but temperature is also very important, Tang Rong immediately found the key to the problem after listening to Qin Tian's explanation.

"It's okay, I've already thought of a way, tomorrow I'll send someone to buy some thin cloth, and then use these cloths to cover it, and then use some straw mats to spread a layer on it, so as to ensure that the temperature inside is suitable for the growth of plants, as for the light, every day at a fixed time, I will order someone to take the straw mat away, to ensure that the plants can see the sun."

Qin Tian talked eloquently, and unconsciously sat down next to Tang Rong, Tang Rong didn't even notice it because he was thinking about the vegetable greenhouse, and when he found out, he couldn't drive Qin Tian away again.

"Hate ......"

"Doesn't Madame like to hate me so much?"

"Phew......"

The night was dark, and the autumn wind was blowing outside.
