In the evening, the pier is drunk in the fairy building.

In the brass hot pot, "gurgling" was steaming, Zhu Yan sandwiched a thin piece of mutton and put it in the hot pot and soaked it, there was a sauce, and he put it in his mouth, grinning with his cheeks, it was a little too hot, and he said vaguely: "The conditions of the Wufeng Islands are really good, the vegetables are so cheap in winter, if they can be shipped back to Datang, the profit can be increased tenfold!" ”

The three people next to them nodded, the Wufeng Islands surprised them too much, the first feeling was wealth, and the second was comfort.

On a small island, countless greenhouses have been built with crystal chips, providing a steady stream of vegetables that are difficult to see in winter, not only in large quantities, but also incredibly cheap.

It is difficult to see the shadow of vegetables in the winter of Datang, even if the wealthy family wants to eat a bite of vegetables in winter, even if they spend a lot of money, they have nowhere to find it.

Greenhouses have been recorded in both the East and the West, with the Romans building pipes under the floor to transfer heat, the French burning dung to warm it, and the English using charcoal and hot water in the 17th century.

"Hanshu Follower Biography" records: Taiguan Garden planted winter onions, leeks, vegetables, and ru, covered with a roof, burning a fire day and night, and waiting for the warm air to be born. The faithful thought that this was an occasional thing, which would hurt people, and it was not suitable to be offered as an offering, and it was illegal food, so they would stop it and save tens of millions of years. Zhao Xinchen believed that the onions, leeks, vegetables, and ru, which were planted by burning fire in the house in winter, were "things from time to time" and "hurt people", so he wrote to the imperial court and forbade planting.

However, the creation of the peasants was not forbidden by a paper ban, and it was still handed down among the people.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, farmers began to sell greenhouse vegetables in the market, but they were still banned from the fate.

"Zizhi Tongjian" quoted the edict of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty in the sixth year: "Where the new flavor is recommended, it is not a festival." or to grow strong and mature, or to dig through the sprouts,...... Why should you keep things in season? According to the commentary, "Yu Yang and Strong Maturity" means "the earth room is filled with fire, so that the earth vapor is depressed and nourished, and the earth is strong and mature." The edict considered this method to be contrary to the laws of nature, so it was forbidden.

This cultivation method should have been passed down among the people.

The Song Dynasty's meticulous "Qi Dongye Yu" recorded that the Southern Song Dynasty had the method of "Tang Hua", that is, raising flowers in greenhouses. Zhang Xuan's "Suspicious Yao" in the Ming Dynasty recorded that "today's Beijing teachers raise flowers in the cellar in winter", and Yu Zhengxie's "Guisi Class Manuscript" in the Qing Dynasty recorded the "Burning Flower Method". After the Song Dynasty, although only flowers were raised, it was consistent with the principle of growing vegetables.

The winter temperature in the north is low, and it is naturally difficult for vegetables to grow, so the off-season of vegetables is formed, which is called "garden dryness" in ancient times.

The Tang Dynasty court set up a special "warm soup supervisor" to cultivate out-of-season fruits and vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables could be tasted in mid-February every year.

During the Zhenguan period, Tang Taizong was dismissed because Sima Chen Yuanxuan of Yizhou privately set up a greenhouse to cultivate vegetables and hurt the people and money.

At that time, most of the greenhouses were owned by the royal family or rich tycoons, and Xie Zhaoqian, who lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, once said: "There are yellow sprouts and leeks in the middle of winter in Beijing, all of which are cultivated in the fire pit of the rich cellar."

The poet of the Southern Song Dynasty 6 used "endive and cucumber are scarce on the market, and there is brilliance in the plate" to praise the joy brought by the fresh vegetables produced in the greenhouse to the table, but due to the poor light transmission of the ancient greenhouse, the vegetables planted have the defect of "not seeing the wind day, and the seedlings and leaves are tender and yellow".

For more than a thousand years after the emergence of greenhouses, they were basically the exclusive property of the wealthy. Come to think of it, if it weren't for the rich and powerful, who would build a house just to satisfy their appetites, like Tiberius? Even greenhouses that seem simple today are not cheap to build and are not widely used in production, so it is not surprising that greenhouses have become toys for the wealthy. But while the rich are "showing off their wealth", they have undoubtedly promoted the exhibition of greenhouses.

The Wufeng Islands are located in the same dimension of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and when the snow is falling and the weather is cold, how can you eat such fresh vegetables and fruits without making 6 Ming and the other four people novel.

However, when 6 Ming and the other four people went to the island for the first time, they didn't care too much about the vegetables, the reason was not that the four of them were shallow, but because they had seen too much in the north and south, and they were too concerned about the appearance of vegetables in winter for a while, and thought that the store deliberately took out some show-offs, so as to improve the grade of the restaurant.

In particular, when 6 Ming was surprised to see the rows of greenhouses, he once again raised the wealth of the Wufeng Islands to a higher level.

"I didn't expect that in the eyes of us as rare winter vegetables, in the Wufeng Islands turned out to be an ordinary thing, think that a greenhouse costs hundreds of yuan, how many vegetables to grow to recover the cost, hehe, a small Wufeng Islands really has magic!"

"A pound of Songcai only sells for more than a dozen Wen, which is more than ten times lower than the price of Datang, all of which are wonderful uses of crystal tablets, but our vision is too shallow!"

This time, the four major scholars in the southeast originally came to the island for the crystal piece, and each family bought 20,000 pieces, thinking that the crystal piece could only be used as window paper, but I didn't expect that there was another wonderful use of the crystal piece.

"I'm going to order an extra 30,000 crystal pieces from Steward He, what do you think?" Zhang Hengdao.

"Your Zhang family is too stingy, my Zhu family is ready to add another 100,000 pieces!" Zhu Yan paid the momentum of a tyranny.

6 Ming looked at Zhang Heng and Zhu Yan like monkeys, turned his head to look at Gu Liang, who didn't talk much, and said, "Gu Lang, do you have anything to say?" ”

Gu Liang wrapped himself a piece of shredded meat dough cake, which was full of cucumber shreds and green garlic, and the old god was saying: "I heard that the businessman who returned to Datang last time said that the output of this kind of crystal piece is not large, at most more than 100,000 pieces per month, it is very easy to be damaged during transportation, and there will be a loss of 20% when it is transported to Datang, even so, the first batch of merchants are also eager to eat all the crystal pieces in one bite, it is Zhen Qian who is circling in it, and the merchants have only got some, we want to have more crystal pieces here, I'm afraid I can't take out the Wufeng Islands, right? ”

The raw materials of the crystal piece are very easy to obtain, but it is not so easy to make a flat glass, which causes the size of the crystal piece to be not large, one foot wide, half a foot long crystal piece is already the limit, the key is that the process equipment is manually operated, which will inevitably cause the thickness to be uniform, the output can not go up, can only increase the number of people to improve the output, even so, the output of a month is about 200,000 pieces, 6 Ming four people want to buy more is impossible.
