Chapter 371: A Touch of Green on the Dining Table
Shi Lei, who was walking on the way to work, looked up and found that the entire sky of Chang'an was a little gray. Pen & Fun & Pavilion don't have to think about it more carefully www.biquge.info Shi Lei understands why, he is from later generations, he is too familiar with such a day, and generally later generations call this thing haze.
And the reason why it is gray is not because the weather is cold, and there are more fires for heating, especially in this changed Datang world, it is quite popular to burn charcoal, that is, coal, and there is no anthracite coal production area around here, and it is easier to find and dig open-pit coal mines, most of which are not of good quality, and they are smoky when burned.
Coupled with the fact that nearly one million people are gathered in such a circle as Chang'an City, everyone is whirring black smoke together, and it would be strange if it didn't change that day.
In fact, this is much better than burning wood, and most of the wood is now made into charcoal, which exists as a high-end product that can only be used in the noble family.
That thing looks like it can have a lot less smoke, and it's more flavorful to make a hot pot or eat a barbecue or something.
And the reason why this thing is expensive, there is also a reason, burning charcoal is time-consuming, laborious and labor-intensive, plus now if you want to pick up firewood, especially good wood back to burn, it is definitely not as convenient as before, you have to go far to find enough wood in the mountains, and the increase in this cost is very serious.
There is no way, in the realm of Chang'an, there are too many people squeezed in, and they originally split wood and burn it, which is too much demand, and the growth of trees can't keep up. It is said that the entire northern part of Chang'an is now almost cleaned by baldness, and many mountains are no longer green, which has caused the current situation.
In this era, it is not realistic for you to talk to him about soil erosion and environmental protection.
Moreover, even in later generations, the concept of environmental protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not the same that so many people care about the well-being of future generations in vain in order to make some money, and do some bad things that have children, let alone Datang, which does not even have this concept.
Fortunately, it was in the south of Chang'an City, and almost before it was also plagued, charcoal had been applied on a large scale, and it had reached a relatively popular level.
This is also very different from the real Datang in history, I heard that it is the result of the joint promotion of many families of Datang.
Nowadays, most of these open-pit coal mines are also in the hands of people such as the Dou family and the five surnamed Qiwang clans, in addition, it is probably the eldest grandson Wuji who has a lot of hands and eyes to get a piece of the pie.
But there are also side effects, as soon as Chang'an enters winter, it is rare to see a clear blue sky is the price, which is also an important reason why Shi Lei has been reluctant to live in Chang'an City. I've long had enough of the haze, but I don't want to feel the darkness of the people of the Sanjin Dynasty in the future.
So even if he is qualified enough to buy a house in a few high-class markets, it is not bad for the money, Shi Lei has not done anything, but would rather see the sky and run between his own Zhuangzi and the imperial city.
For Shi Lei, such a boundary can also be bought to speculate on a property, but such real estate exists as a symbol of the identity of each family, unless it is transferred to other places, or even exiled, and has to move out of Chang'an City, it may never come back, and ordinary people will not sell such a house, which is not enough to shame people.
Then Shi Lei's idea of waiting for appreciation and then reselling it will definitely not be realized. Then why are you tossing such a situation, it's not a waste of money.
And recently, most of the elders have entered the stage of recuperation, and those who don't have to worry about specific things have also temporarily moved out of Chang'an City and run to Chang'an County, Wannian County or Lantian County, so that the states and counties around Chang'an have gone to live in their own Zhuangzi.
The air quality over there is so bad that they don't understand the reasoning behind it, but it doesn't prevent their bodies from feeling it.
All of them have some dark injuries or stubborn diseases, which are inevitably easy to cause some coughing, asthma, colds and other diseases, which will make them very unhappy.
When they came to Zhuangzi in the south, where the environment was much better, the situation would be much better, and they would definitely not stay in Chang'an City forever to suffer.
And in Chang'an City in winter, it is not only dry and cold, but also too boring. It's better to come to Zhuangzi, everyone can easily play, drink, and rub mahjong by the way.
Since there has been mahjong, they have all set a big fire kang on their own Zhuangzi, and they finally have something to do. Put the kang table up, rub the hemp and walk, and you can have another hot pot when you are tired of playing. Shi Lei's filial piety beef and mutton are enough, and there are some chili noodles, this small day is simply not too pleasant.
And they also found that the stone kid's head didn't know how to grow, and this new idea was one after another.
When there is no green on other people's tables, people can still see several kinds of green leafy vegetables, bean sprouts, garlic sprouts, and they have never stopped flowing, and from time to time they will honor their uncles, I really don't know how he made them.
When they saw the vegetables sent by Shi Lei for the first time, they almost thought that Shi Lei had emptied the royal kitchen, which caused them a lot of surprise.
But I heard that this year's vegetable greenhouse, the planting experiment was successful, and next year I will take everyone to play together, and all the uncles will be relieved, and it is a good entry.
Even if it comes to their part, they don't like the benefits in it, after all, do they sell vegetables, even if they sell it in winter, how much money can they make, but the meaning of such things is very different when they leave it to their own farmers.
After seeing the yield of potatoes, they understood that this thing can make people vomit sooner or later, and it must be better to use green vegetables.
Let your own farmers get the technology of growing vegetables this winter as early as possible, and they will definitely be able to make a lot of money next year, and everyone will have a happy fat year together.
It can not only satisfy the desire of his tongue, but also give himself a good reputation as the main family, and kill multiple birds with one stone.
It's just that if you want to eat these rare and good things at the moment, you have to stutter a little stone boy, which is a bit depressing.
It's better to let the family go to his house to visit the door. I heard that the affairs of the family are still the daughter of the old Cheng family who is in charge of the house, and the stone does not interfere.
In this way, Shi Lei's house has become the main battlefield of the hostesses of each family, and they often have to put on a big swing in Shi Lei's house. In and out of words, of course, there are some hints, which makes Shi Lei even more afraid to come to this group of fierce old ladies. Most of them don't look like elders at all, and when they talk about it, it's called a meat taboo, which scared Shi Lei away.
He was thinking that he had to come up with a new idea to draw their attention to something else. Always go to your own house like this, not to mention the consumption of food and drink, your own vegetables, it's not enough to share, see the sky's point and that point.
How can Shi Lei, a foodie, stand it, he finally made so many vegetables to enrich his winter dining table, how could he be ruined by these old ladies. (To be continued.) )
