Chapter 35: This Time It's Crazy

Because the vegetable greenhouse uses a light-proof grass curtain, the vegetables planted must be selected with less light.

Later, his grandfather once told him that leafy vegetables needed very little light during the entire growing period. After careful consideration, Zhou Zhi chose three kinds of vegetables.

Leeks, spinach and celery.

These three vegetables are very easy to see in the warm season. Especially leeks, large families in the north like to eat leek-stuffed flat food (dumplings), if the leeks are launched in the harsh winter, they will definitely sell at a good price.

Fortunately, there are leek seeds at home, and Zhou Zhi plans to plant a large area of leeks in the greenhouse.

Spinach and celery are both very tenacious, and both of these must be planted. Spinach seeds and celery seeds are available in almost every family, but they are not enough in his own family, so Zhou Zhi went to Uncle Zhang's house to find some.

The reason why he wants to grow three kinds of vegetables is that Zhou Zhi has also thought about it. Planting vegetable greenhouses in the Ming Dynasty was just an attempt by him, and no one knew whether it would succeed or not. He's just trying to think it through with all his heart.

If you grow a single vegetable, if it doesn't grow well, wouldn't it be bad? In Zhou Zhi's mind, if these three vegetables do not grow well, then the greenhouse is a complete failure. But if one or two of them grow well, the yield of half an acre of field will be much higher than that of wheat planting, which is also successful.

On this day, the weather was very fine, cloudless, and the sun was very strong, shining warmly on the body. Zhou Zhi and his sister Zhou Luyun were busy in the greenhouse and began to sprinkle rapeseeds.

Zhou Zhi built a fence in his own field, and was busy in the field all day long, and the people of Baiyue Village naturally saw it clearly. Everyone is secretly thinking that this week's kid is so smart, and this time he is going to make a name for himself.

In the past, when someone asked about Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi was just casually perfunctory, and did not explain. But today, many villagers really couldn't suppress their curiosity, and stood at the head of the field together, looking into the shed with their heads probed, wanting to find out.

"Puzzle Boy" Uncle Wang saved face for him because he guessed riddles in Zhou Zhi in the barn last time, so he thought that he was close to Zhou Zhi, so he stood on the south side of the greenhouse and looked inside.

It will take a few more days for the straw curtain to be closed, and the south side is open at this time. Uncle Wang looked at it for a while and asked, "Boy from the Zhou family, aren't you planting vegetables?" ”

Zhou Zhi's impression of Uncle Wang was actually quite good, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I just want to plant some vegetables and sell them when the winter is ready." ”

"Oh......" Uncle Wang was still very calm.

But his heart was pounding violently. Secretly, this week's kid is really talented and whimsical. But you can't fool around like this, can you? Isn't there some strange disease this week?

But no matter how you look at Zhou Zhi, it doesn't look like he's sick, and it's really strange to see that he is sane and moves neatly.

Then he turned and shouted to those who were watching, "Have you all heard, all the neighbors? This week, the boy is going to plant vegetables, including leeks, spinach and celery. ”

"Oops! Planting leeks in the winter, my God, isn't it all about freezing to death? ”

"This week's kid is really bizarre, weird, really weird. See, and his sister is also crazy with him, this sister and brother...... Gee! ”

It's incomprehensible, it's inconceivable.

Everyone talked about it, and the neighbors who had the ancient road and were enthusiastic also came over, and shouted loudly to Zhou Zhi, "Zhou family boy, planting vegetables in winter will freeze to death, and this half acre of land will be delayed if it is not planted with wheat, and now it is a waste of effort and strength to plant some vegetables indiscriminately." Listen to your uncle's words, hurry up and go home, don't toss around anymore. ”

"Huh! I just wanted to try it, why can't vegetables grow in the summer, but why can't they grow in the winter? I received my uncle's wishes, but this dish must be planted. Zhou Zhi said with a smile and said very firmly.

Crazy, the Zhou family kid is really crazy this time.

Last time, Zhou Zhi bet with Chen Wenju in the field that everyone thought Zhou Zhi was crazy, but Zhou Zhi won Chen Wenju, which was unexpected.

But this time is obviously different from the last time, the people are all farming, and after planting for so many years, they have never seen vegetables grow in winter, who will believe Zhou Zhi's words.

Go your own way and let others do the talking!

Zhou Zhi looked at everyone and whispered to his sister.

But I also have to say that there are also some scheming people among the people. They have all seen Zhou Zhi win Chen Wenju in a bet, and they have made bellows, and they have long respected Zhou Zhi. This time, when I saw Zhou Zhi building a wall and planting vegetables, I silently thought, this Zhou kid is so smart, where will he be crazy? I can't tell if he can really make fresh vegetables grow in the winter.

If he did, it would be a rare way to make a fortune. Next year, hehe! My family is also going to set aside a field to grow vegetables.

In winter, the people in the countryside have nothing to do, and sometimes they get together to gamble, and the gambling equipment is nothing more than dice and horses, hanging pai gow and the like. Small gambling pleasure, big gambling losers, are poor people, and naturally there is not too much money at home. The so-called gambling is nothing more than betting on a few eggs, or betting on a few copper coins, a kind of entertainment for the people.

Xianhan Ding Ergou was also among these people, and at this time he suddenly shouted loudly, "This week's boy wants to grow vegetables in the winter, do you neighbors want to gamble?" Betting on whether the Zhou family kid can grow fresh vegetables in winter. ”

When it comes to gambling, many people immediately respond, but how to gamble, the question is who can believe that Zhou Zhi can grow it.

"Bet, bet, Ergou, do you have to bet that the Zhou family kid can grow vegetables?"

"Of course I'm betting that he can't grow it, I'm talking about whether I believe he can grow it, and I'm betting on one out of ten." Ding Ergou said with a wicked smile.

In his mind, it was naturally foolproof, and he said that it was a bet on one by ten, even if it was a bet on one by hundred, he was willing to participate. After all, this is the same as picking up other people's money for nothing, there is no possibility of losing at all.

"Alas! …… So what's the bet on? Who doesn't know that the vegetables grown by the Zhou family will freeze to death in winter. The people immediately responded with embarrassment and frustration.

"I bet that Zhou Zhi can grow vegetables and won't freeze to death in winter." After a while, a deep voice suddenly came from among the people.

This sound stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone looked at him in unison, it was the farmer Zhang Bing.

Zhang Bing is about thirty years old, not tall, and usually looks a little wooden, but he is a very scheming person. Although his family is not close to Zhou Zhi's house, he is very concerned about Zhou Zhi. Others think that Zhou Zhi is crazy, but he has carefully thought about Zhou Zhi's performance these days, especially after making the bellows, Zhang Bing admires Zhou Zhi very much.

Zhou Zhi's mind is bright!

Now he carefully observed the greenhouse built by Zhou Zhilei, and understood the structure in it, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, this Zhou Zhi is very likely to succeed.

All the people sighed, Zhou Zhi seemed to be crazy, and now another fool has come out, what happened to this Baiyue Village? .

Anyway, since there is a fool appearing, why not win him some money. Ding Ergou was the first to respond, "Okay, I'll bet with you, if the vegetables grown by the Zhou family don't freeze to death in winter, I will lose you 500 yuan." If you freeze to death, you only need to lose fifty yuan to me. ”

Followed by other people, they all shouted and gambled with Zhang Bing.

、、、、、、

In the afternoon, Zhou Zhi and his sister Zhou Luyun finished planting the greenhouse, and Zhou Zhi was excited. But her sister Zhou Luyun looked suspicious, glanced at her younger brother, and asked softly, "Xiaozhi, can this really work?" ”

"There will be no problem with the emergence of seedlings in the current weather. It's just that it takes a lot of effort to manage in this later stage. I think it should work. What he said was very casual, but Zhou Luyun could hear it, and Zhou Zhi was full of confidence.

As long as it's what Xiaozhi wants to do, it will not be bad if you think about it.

Zhou Luyun forced himself to think so.

It will take a few days for the seeds to emerge after sprinkling them, and leeks may take longer. In the next few days, Zhou Zhi can be idle.

Zhou Zhi thought that in the past few days of busyness, not to mention the lack of time for reading, even the endorsement has been a lot lax.

This does not bode well.

Speaking of which, the purpose of planting greenhouses is to make the life of the family better, and the life is better, and it is naturally convenient for me to study. Even when the family has spare money and the days are almost over, Zhou Zhi can go to the school to study.

There will be no quiz next year, but there will be one in the spring of the year after that. If the Zhou family's life is richer faster, Zhou Zhi plans to take the small exam in the year after tomorrow. Regardless of whether you are successful in the examination or not, it is at least an on-the-spot exercise.

Reading is the main thing, and it must not be wasted.

I am three times a day and I am self-seeking for others but not loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it?

The two siblings have their own thoughts all the way home.

I just entered the courtyard, but when I saw my mother Zhou He, she was full of panic and was about to go out. When he saw Zhou Zhi and Zhou Luyun, he hurriedly said, "For my mother, I am going to go down to the field to find you, and you two can be regarded as coming back." Xiao Cheng started a fever early in the morning, thinking that it would get better if he covered the quilt and got hot, but now the fever is even worse, how is this good? ”
