Chapter 116 Greenhouse planting technology sprouts
"Sister-in-law. They won't come again. Zhang Jihan watched as several people walked out for a long distance before he asked weakly.
"If they're not afraid of jail time, they'll just come." Liu Meiniang sat on the stone table in the courtyard and said leisurely with her chin in her hands.
"I hope so." Zhang Jihan let out a sigh of relief.
"Owner, I ...... today's matter" Zhang Tianyong walked to Liu Meiniang's side with a guilty face.
"Uncle cousin, I don't blame you, I know what my fifth uncle and fifth aunt look like. You've done a great job. Liu Meiniang said from the bottom of her heart.
"Ugh." Zhang Tianyong sighed.
Zhang Tianming and his wife will not have a third time to sell rotten vegetable leaves, even if they have the courage to come for the third time, Liu Meiniang will let them remember the lesson.
Zhangjia Supermarket is becoming more and more famous in the county, and many people come to Zhangjia Supermarket every day to buy things.
Not only buy chicken, duck and fish, but also cloth and daily necessities, Liu Meiniang supermarket not only has vegetables and meat, but also bamboo baskets, cloth and other things.
"The owner, the owner, the big list." Zhang Tianyong looked left and right at the door of the supermarket, and when he saw Liu Meiniang coming, he hurriedly ran forward.
"What's the big order?" Liu Meiniang asked with a smile, she had never seen Zhang Tianyong lose his temper like this.
"Li Yuanwai's family in the north of the city, they will marry on the fifteenth of next month, and the vegetables they want for the wedding banquet will be purchased from us." Zhang Tianyong told Liu Meiniang about today's events.
At noon, someone came to Li Yuanwai's house, saying that their son-in-law would marry next month, and he wanted to buy everything needed for the banquet from Zhang's supermarket, and gave a deposit of ten taels of silver for a purchase list.
Liu Meiniang looked at the purchase list, it was really a big business.
The supply of things in the supermarket can't be cut off, so Liu Meiniang can only find a way to transfer more vegetables and meat from other places.
The last batch of vegetables at home should also be ripe, so let Zhang Jihan contact a few butchers who had been supplying meat before to increase the supply.
The supermarket still has to be opened in winter, but in winter, the weather will still get cold, and the vegetables in the field can't grow at all.
"Uncle Cousin, you have to worry a lot about the business in the supermarket during this time. I'll go home first, and wait until the time agreed with Li Yuanwai's house is up. I'll bring the greens. Liu Meiniang thought of greenhouse technology and now can't wait to go back home and try it.
It is estimated that it will take a long time to come back when I go home this time, and it is a whole month before the fifteenth of next month, so it should be enough time.
The plastic sheeting needed for greenhouse planting made Liu Meiniang difficult. Where to find plastic sheeting in this day and age?
When returning to the yard, Liu Meiniang passed by a shop selling pork. Seeing the black leather apron around the chest of the person selling pork, Liu Meiniang paid attention. You can use animal skins instead.
Animal skin is very warm, as long as all the oil in the animal skin is taken off, leaving only one skin, it can be used to replace the plastic sheet on the greenhouse.
"Ji Han, do you know where people collect animal skins?" Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan.
"Animal fur? Sister-in-law, do you want to make clothes? I can go up the hill and shoot you a few hares and foxes. "Winter is coming, Zhang Jihan thought that Liu Meiniang was going to make winter clothes.
"It's not that I need a lot of animal fur, I'm useful." Liu Meiniang gestured and said.
"Now, I'll go to the game shop in the city and ask," Zhang Jihan pondered.
"Okay, you go and ask, and if you have one, come back and tell me." Liu Meiniang urged.
Seeing that Liu Meiniang was so anxious, Zhang Jihan couldn't delay, so he hurriedly went out.
After a while, Zhang Jihan came back.
"Sister-in-law. I said hello. Zhang Jihan said.
"How?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"In the game shop, there are more than 100 skins that have not been sold, but the prices are not the same, the skins of roe deer and black bears are the most expensive, one costs four or five taels of silver, and the skins of hares are very cheap, a few hundred wen is enough. However, there are still some damaged skins, and the shop owner said that they can sell them to us cheaply. Zhang Jihan told Liu Meiniang everything he asked.
Liu Meiniang is still thinking.
"Do you know where you can buy the apron for the pig-killing spree not far from the door?" Liu Meiniang continued to ask.
"There are game shops that sell aprons."
"Then where should they have the whole leather cloth that is not made into an apron?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"Yes, sister-in-law."
"I'll go with you to see it." Liu Meiniang got an affirmative answer, and happily pulled Zhang Jihan out of the door.
"Sister-in-law, wait, I'll lock the door." Seeing the back of Liu Meiniang who had walked out for a long time, Zhang Jihan, who was left alone, was very speechless. Sometimes it feels like the sister-in-law's personality is like a child.
Liu Meiniang found her favorite leather cloth in the game shop, the owner of the game shop is a big man with a scar on his face, but he is very good, as soon as he heard that Liu Meiniang needs a lot of leather cloth, he gave Liu Meiniang the biggest discount.
"What does the little lady want so much leather cloth for?" The man measured the size of the leather cloth for Liu Meiniang over and over again, and asked again.
"I'm useful." Liu Meiniang said in general terms.
"The workmanship of the leather cloth here is the best, although the little lady can use it with confidence, it will not rot for half a year." The big man didn't forget to sell his own things.
"Well, if your fur cloth is good, I will come to buy it often in the future." Liu Meiniang said happily.
"Okay little lady, don't worry, but you want too much, such a big bundle, where do you live, I'll send it to you."
The service of the big man was very thoughtful, Liu Meiniang checked it visually, and she and Zhang Jihan really couldn't finish it.
"Then it's a hassle for the boss." Liu Meiniang gave the silver when she gave the boss more ten wen, and the big man looked at Liu Meiniang with stars, and Liu Meiniang was embarrassed to see it.
Waiting for the leather cloth to come back, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan worked together to load the leather cloth on the carriage.
Liu Meiniang went to the street to buy gifts and food for Zhang Li's mother and daughter, and finally the two drove back in a carriage.
"Mother? Tongtong, Dandan? The two returned to the gate and found that Zhang Dandan did not run out as usual. The sound of the carriage supposedly should have been heard. Zhang Jihan jumped out of the carriage and shouted a few times, but still no one responded. Zhang Jihan and Liu Meiniang glanced at each other. They all saw worry in each other's eyes.
The two scrambled into the house and found everyone in the living room.
However, in addition to Zhang Li's mother and daughter, there were other people in the living room, and Liu Meiniang remembered after a glance. They are Zhang Jihan's grandparents, as well as uncles and aunts, five uncles and five aunts, and a large group of people who Liu Meiniang has an impression of, but doesn't know much. They sat in the living room like their masters, while the three mothers and daughters of the Zhang and Li families stood on the ground floor of the living room. Liu Meiniang, who watched this scene, was furious.
"Mei Niang, are you back?" Zhang Li heard the movement at the door, looked up at Liu Meiniang, and almost burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan had no scruples, and directly pounced into Liu Meiniang's arms.
"What's going on?" Liu Meiniang asked if she had stage fright.
"Are you Mei Niang?" In the top position sat an old lady with a red face, the old lady had a mean face and a pair of small eyes staring directly at Liu Meiniang. This is Zhang Jihan and Zhang Dandan, Zhang Tongtong's grandmother Zhang Wu. The old man who had been smoking a dry cigarette next to him was their grandfather.
In Liu Meiniang's memory, Zhang Jihan's grandparents were originally partial to other rooms, and Liu Meiniang only saw these people on the day they got married, during this time, Zhang Jihan's fifth uncle and fifth aunt Zhang Tianming and his wife have been coming to Liu Meiniang's troubles, this family is considered an acquaintance, before the eldest uncle and aunt Zhang Tianhua and his wife also came, and the other Liu Meiniang really didn't understand, and suddenly came back today and saw a room of people, Liu Meiniang was also startled, but I don't know what these people are trying to do here.
"Grandpa, grandma? Uncle, aunt, five uncles and five aunts" Liu Meiniang stepped forward to call someone.
"Grandparents ......" Zhang Jihan also stepped forward to say hello one by one.
"Smack--" There was a loud bang. Liu Meiniang was startled, and saw that it was Zhang Jihan's grandmother who slapped the table. Liu Meiniang thought about the voice just now, and she felt a pain in her hand for Grandma Zhang Jihan.
"You slut, why did you come back so late?" Zhang Wu directly began to embarrass Liu Meiniang.
"What did you say?" Liu Meiniang didn't have time to react.
"You, you...... I said why are you back so late! 9 is a widow, and she knows not the heart of shame! Zhang Wu repeated, saying more seriously.
Liu Meiniang turned her head to look outside the door, the sun was still in the sky, but it was already ten in the evening, and the sun had also turned into a sunset, which looked quite good.
Liu Meiniang has never gotten along with this old lady, but just like that, Liu Meiniang can also know that this old lady is not easy to get along with.
And Zhang Li and this old lady have not been together for long, but according to Zhang Li's occasional words, Liu Meiniang can still guess. This Zhang Wu is definitely not a good mother-in-law.
I heard Zhang Li mention it before, Zhang Jihan's aunt Wang gave birth to a child and had not yet been confined, so Zhang Wu asked Wang to feed the pigs and cut the pigweed.
One month after a woman gives birth, if she is not confined, it is easy to fall ill, let alone work in confinement.
As for his two daughters, Zhang Xiaolan and Zhang Xiaocui, Zhang Wu is very doting, and the two daughters often go to their parents' house after they get married.
And Zhang Wu often secretly subsidizes his two daughters.
The old lady and grandfather of the Zhang family are now living with the eldest son Zhang Tianhua's family, in ancient times, as long as the family was divided, the old man would live with the boss, and the remaining sons only needed to give the old man alimony every year. For Zhang Wu's often use his own money to subsidize his two daughters, Wang dares to be angry and dare not speak, once she says anything against it, it is unfilial. Not to mention that her reputation is not good, she will be the first to be beaten by Zhang Tianhua.
