Chapter 167: The Warm Shed

On the same day, Shao Yi and the others went back to eat and drink, and the father-in-law of Liu Da and the people in the mansion of Young Master Lan went out to look for it again, but because the carriage that the young man was riding in had no emblem, they mixed into the flow of people, which did not attract people's attention at all, and in the end it was fruitless.

Lan Shaofu is okay, although the price of the glass palace lamp is not as low as hoped, but the thing is really good. Just like the shopkeeper of Qingyun Zhai said, one of the first four pairs of glass palace lamps in the world is very rare.

But the father-in-law of Liu Da couldn't swallow this breath, and then sent someone to inquire about which powerful and wealthy family in the capital had such a little son, but he still had no clue.

Not only did he have no clue, but in the process of exploring, the prefectures in the capital were greatly dissatisfied, and in the end, Liu Xie went out to warn, and the matter came to an end.

Xia Yanqing didn't worry too much, Xia Xiaoniang returned to the capital and rarely appeared in public. The few gatherings for the ladies were when she first returned.

At that time, her descriptive temperament was very different from now.

Moreover, the bidding auction of Juxian Pavilion is all men, and they are all subordinates and merchants who have no status, and the noblewomen and noblewomen in the capital will never appear on that occasion.

So she didn't worry about being recognized at all, and just focused on her own business.

Now, in addition to the kiln and glass workshop, there are more things to do in Zhuangzi.

The second day of the bidding, the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, is the day when the glass is installed in the greenhouse.

Originally, she only had to build a greenhouse out of glass, and as for the farmer, she had the old farmers in the village to worry about.

But it is necessary to observe and inspect, after all, to build a greenhouse...... Ahem, she hasn't seen it either.

The head of the village and the old farmer on the Zhuangzi were all very surprised since they received the orders of the master's family.

At this time, the frozen soil has not completely melted, not to mention that the seeds cannot be planted, even if they are planted, they will not grow.

Although the owner said that it was planted in the house, the crops of the dealer should not only grow at the right temperature, but also need light. If you don't ventilate and don't see light, the crops won't grow.

But the Lord's house commands, and there is no room for opposition, so they can only do it.

But when boxes of glass arrived and were installed on the half-arched wooden keel, the men were immediately shocked.

Is this really the glass that was rumored in the capital during this time?

Although they knew that the main aunt and grandmother had a glass workshop, they never imagined that with their identity, they would one day be able to really see the real thing.

He Zhongzheng and Qiao Chensheng took craftsmen, with the help of Zhuangtou and a few middle-aged farmers, and it only took half a day to install the glass department.

At this point, the sun is already in the west.

Even so, when the oblique sunlight shines through the glass into the greenhouse, and the heat emitted by the fire wall, the greenhouse immediately feels warm, humid and sunny.

There are still seasonal restrictions, and it is clear that it is a good time for farming.

The front and top are covered with semi-arched glass, which is flawed but has no problem receiving sunlight.

Zhuangtou Hong Dagui stood in the greenhouse, feeling the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse, bathing in the sunshine in the west, and finally ignited hope for their seasonal sowing this time.

Early the next morning after the installation of the glass vault was completed, Zhuangtou took a few old farmers to sow seeds, and according to the seeds that are now available, they selected fast-ripening green leafy vegetables, spinach, camellia, chrysanthemum, water spinach, green vegetables, and a variety of small depressions.

Xia Yanqing watched them sow the seeds soaked in warm water one by one, and the already small piece of land was sown in less than half a day.

Hong Dagui and his daughter-in-law were by Xia Yanqing's side, although he didn't work, the warm and humid air in the greenhouse still made his face sweaty.

Hong Dagui himself is also a cropper, and he has never had such an experience against the sky, at this time, he can say that he is excited.

In the past, when I farmed, I looked at God's face, only when the weather warmed up and the season came, I cultivated the land when I should plough the land, and I sowed the seeds when I should sow the seeds.

But now, with this glass greenhouse, not to mention that when the frozen soil did not melt at the beginning of the year, it was planted under the moon in ten winters, and he dared to guarantee that it could sprout and mature.

Hong Dagui was full of hope, and he was full of interest and assured Xia Yanqing: "Auntie, just rest assured." With so much daylight and the heat of the fire wall, we can open the vents at any time to ventilate. The environment in this greenhouse is better than in spring and summer, and it is the most suitable for crop growth.

The little one promised his aunt that within a month, the greens and spinach would be picked. The rest of these things can be collected for ten or eight days at night. ”

Speaking of Xingtou, Hong Dagui laughed to himself, "At that time, it was the time when the green and yellow were not connected, it was already winter, and there were no green vegetables on the dinner table. ”

Xia Yanqing listened to what he said, the sun, the temperature, and the ability to ventilate the greenhouse from time to time, and his confidence was doubled.

It seems that the quality and yield of vegetables in the greenhouse should be guaranteed.

If the harvest is made in late February, it is not an absolute out-of-season vegetable, but it is certain that it will ripen a month earlier than the regular vegetables.

It's a pity that for the sensational effect of glass, this batch of glass can only be fired after the glass pressing technology is mature and supplied to the palace.

Otherwise, if you plan the greenhouse early, how many dignitaries and nobles will be surprised and delighted by the green vegetables of this winter? How many connections can you pave for your father and brother?

Hong Dagui's daughter-in-law was on the side, glanced at the bright glass wall, and then glanced at Xia Yanqing, and sighed in her heart, in the end, it is the daughter of the old man's family, even if she grows up in the countryside, it is different.

Look at this glass wall and glass roof, no wonder the dignitaries are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. If you replace the windows in your home with glass, how bright will your days be?

The seeds were soaked in warm water, only two days apart, and when Xia Yanqing came to see it on the third day, the two old farmers who were guarding the greenhouse told them that the seeds had sprouted.

Xia Yanqing followed the old farmer's fingers and looked over, only to see a little bit of green blooming from the small leaf petals slightly larger than rice grains in the soft soil, which was particularly eye-catching in the season when the winter mood had not subsided.

She happily calculated the time, but she was afraid that it would not take a month, and by the end of February, fresh vegetables would be ready to be picked.

When the time comes, she will stir-fry two plates of cabbage at home to make a spinach and egg soup to comfort her stomach, which has not eaten fresh vegetables for half a year.

Think about the end of February, and there's still a lot to do.

After more than a month of fermentation, by the end of February, those who dig the foot of the wall and steal the glass should have something to gain, and those who sold the glass technology should also show their heads.

Get rid of the mole, and her glass business can also start.

…………

Before Xia Yanqing found the person who betrayed the master, Shao Yi had already found Ni Duan there.

The people who stared at the Chengjun Wangfu found that a few people in the Junwang Mansion who didn't show up very much had found three craftsmen in the glass workshop. And it seems that they have already got the news they wanted.

Because after several contacts with the glass craftsmen and workers, they hardly delayed any effort, and quickly packed their bags and left the capital and went all the way south.

It seems that the itinerary has been planned for a long time.
