"No way?" Mu Chonglan frowned: "Why?" ”

"It's not the right season." The steward had a bitter face, it turned out that the flowering period of the seven-leaf lotus had already passed at this time, and the reason why they still had the seven-leaf lotus here was because the juice of the seven-leaf lotus was necessary to prepare the white dew and the seven-leaf lotus, so they spent a lot of effort digging a pit and piled up charcoal fire around the seven-leaf lotus.

The cost of doing so is indeed high, but there is no way to do it.

Mu Chonglan listened to the words of the steward, only to feel a pain in her head, and she hated to go back to last night and beat herself, but now it is useless to regret it, the real problem in front of her is that the Bailu Lotus has been booked out of a lot of bottles over there, if she can't take it out by then, I don't know if it will affect the reputation of the Stunning Place?

"Nine girls, if not...... Shall we get some more silver and go door to door to collect it? The steward tentatively made a suggestion.

Mu Chonglan raised his eyebrows: "Does anyone know how to plant?" ”

"The little one thinks that although this seven-leaf lotus is not valuable, it has a unique flower branch, and maybe some literati and inkmen prefer the shape of this seven-leaf lotus, and plant one or two in the pot in the house, which is also a matter of maybe, so as long as we send people to ask from door to door, and see someone planting, we will buy it with some silver, maybe it can solve the urgent need." The steward said respectfully, his eyes full of sincerity, he only wanted to solve the matter of the 'wild boar' invasion as soon as possible, so he was very concerned.

Mu Chonglan heard his explanation and felt that there was indeed some possibility, so he nodded: "Okay, this matter will be handled by you, if you do it well, you will not be deducted from your salary." ”

"These are the small ones that should be done." The steward was genuinely afraid, and he was likely to refuse the reward.

Mu Chonglan waved his hand disapprovingly, asking him to hurry up and start doing things.

After the steward left, Mu Chonglan looked at the flower field in front of her and became distressed, and suddenly she remembered something, so she immediately rushed back to Zhuangzi.

On the Zhuangzi, Yan Shoucai draped his bags on the horse's back, although Xiao Xiantang asked him to ensure Mu Chonglan's safety, but at this time Xiao Xiantang was still in the riot, and he had no way to rest assured, so he planned to leave all the men he brought, so that they could secretly protect Mu Chonglan, and he would rush back lightly, but he didn't want to ......

"Steward Yan, it's so good to see you, I'm looking for you, you come with me." Mu Chonglan pulled Yan Shoucai off the horse, and dragged him back to Zhuangzi.

After sitting down, Yan Shoucai's face was still blue and white for a while, after all, he was a big man, and he was dragged in by the collar by a little girl who was so much shorter than himself, no matter how he thought about it, it was a shame.

"If there is anything about the young lady, you might as well say it directly." Yan Shoucai was faintly angry in his words, he was angry, but he didn't show it on his face.

Mu Chonglan is not a person who can read people's faces, so naturally she didn't see that Yan Shoucai was angry, and as soon as she supported the table, she said a lot of things about the method of greenhouse planting, and she decided to build some greenhouses in her flower field, so that even in winter, those flowers would not be out of stock, and the cost of her rouge gouache business would naturally be reduced.

After listening to this, Yan Shoucai's eyes flickered, and he asked cautiously for a long time: "What you said is really feasible?" ”

"Of course it's possible, this is a ......" Mu Chonglan stopped abruptly halfway through his words.

This idea of greenhouse planting was actually thought up by Mu Jinse, the purpose seems to be to increase grain production, but she opened her mouth to ask for glass as the main body of the greenhouse, and glass is very expensive, a glass cup can be used as a tribute, not to mention that such a large piece of glass can cover the entire greenhouse, it is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, although Mu Jinse's idea was very good, it could not be popularized on a large scale, and in the end, it was only covered with a few precious flowers and plants in the imperial garden, and it was withdrawn not long after because it was too extravagant.

Mu Chonglan just saw the pole on the flower field on the side of the flower field, and remembered this matter, thinking that if the greenhouse was used to give birth in this way, maybe the seven-leaf Baolian could grow in the expected time, and with the seven-leaf Baolian, it also means that you can continue to prepare Bailu Lotus, and the Absolute Color Workshop has Bailu Lotus delivered, and the reputation will not be damaged.

knocked on the door of his head, Mu Chonglan looked helpless: "Actually, I suddenly remembered, thinking that if there is a tent-like thing to cover, and then use a brazier to save a lot of charcoal, otherwise there are charcoal braziers around the pit, and it will be a bit too wasteful to look at it." ”

"If it's really possible, it's not just about saving charcoal." Yan Shoucai's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Mu Chonglan for detailed thoughts.

Mu Chonglan briefly said her thoughts on the greenhouse, the greenhouse is very simple to make, she plans to use two layers of bamboo as a frame, and then use light silk on the upper layer, oil paper to lay the bottom between the two layers of bamboo frame, and finally cover the straw curtain to keep warm.

After all, if you really want to use glass to make a greenhouse, she can't even build a greenhouse, let alone cover a greenhouse on all the flower fields, and although the price of light silk is more expensive, it is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it meets the requirements of thin and transparent without shading.

"That's about it." Mu Chonglan poured a cup of tea, stood on the tea with his fingers, and simply drew a prototype on the table, which seemed to be a bowl-shaped buckle on the ground.

Yan Shoucai nodded, thought about it seriously, and said: "Actually, if it is said that it is thin and does not shade the light and can have the effect of keeping warm, it is also okay to weave some silk linen cloth." ”

"That's right." Mu Chonglan thought about it for a while, but felt that the kind of deliberately woven scattered silk linen cloth that Yan Shoucai said might be more suitable than light silk, first, the cost of silk linen cloth is lower, and second, the warmth of silk linen cloth is actually better than light silk with a natural coolness. "I'll go back and give it a try."

"It's still small." Yan Shoucai took the initiative to take over the errand.

Mu Chonglan thought for a while, in this matter, he might not really be better than Yan Shoucai, and he did it quickly, so he nodded: "It's okay." ”

In this way, Yan Shoucai, who originally planned to go back to find Xiao Xiantang, stayed in Qingzhou, and a few days later, greenhouses were established on Mu Chonglan's flower fields.

Mu Chonglan saw that there was no shortage of spices and flowers except for the seven-leaf treasure lotus, so he listened to Yan Shoucai's suggestion, planted some vegetables and grains casually, and then rushed back to Dadu.

However, Yan Shoucai didn't know why he kept the greenhouse for more than half a month, until he saw the vegetables and grains in the greenhouse began to sprout tender green branches and buds one by one, he showed a meaningful smile, and then ordered someone to send a letter to Xiao Xiantang quickly, with four words on it: There is surplus food in the belly.
