Chapter 128: Greenhouse Seedlings

Liu Yiyu took the second, third and fourth sisters to take the firewood knives and ropes, and walked towards the bamboo forest one by one.

After Liu Yiyu and her sisters cut down the bamboo and carried it home, Liu Li took Xun'er, the sixth sister and the eighth sister to dig a small pit around the painted ground, and then buried the bamboo cut by the Liu Yiyu sisters in it, and then tied it tightly with a rope one by one.

Liu Yiyu's sisters came and went back to the back mountain, and after seeing the Dahua sisters and brothers, Dahua came over and asked Liu Yiyu, saying why her family got so much bamboo back.

Liu Yiyu said that he wanted to build a bamboo house in the backyard and do some other things.

After that, Liu Yishuang brought Huzi to help, Zhang Zixia of the Zhang family brought his eldest brother Zhang Zichun, and five new people came to help the Liu family, among which Huzi and Zhang Zichun were both fifteen or sixteen years old, and they both had a lot of energy, but they were two men in the adult labor force.

With a few of them joining, plus the size of the Liu family, after building a bamboo house in the backyard of the Liu family, the bamboo house of the Liu family was built for three days before the bamboo house was built.

This speed is several times faster than Liu Yiyu's estimate.

Fortunately, it is not the sowing season yet, otherwise, this is still the time when the Liu family is busy.

After the bamboo house was built, Liu Yiyu had previously instructed the carpenter to build large wooden basins that were two meters long and half a meter wide, and after the Liu family built the bamboo house, those large wooden basins were sent to the Liu family by the carpenter one by one and moved into the built bamboo house.

Liu Yiyu measured the size of the bamboo house according to the built, and built a total of 40 large wooden basins.

The bamboo hut is arranged in a row of twenty, divided into two rows, with a narrow aisle in the middle, which is used to place the iron furnace for charcoal fire.

Liu Yiyu went back and forth to build these things, but it cost six hanging dollars of silver, if Liu Li knew that it would cost so much silver to build these wooden pots and four iron furnaces, Liu Li was afraid that he would be distressed to death.

After the bamboo house was built, the Liu family became even busier, the wooden basin was put into the greenhouse bamboo house, and the wooden basin should be filled with fertile soil, and by the way, the iron furnace inside should be burned with charcoal fire first, and the temperature in the greenhouse bamboo house should be maintained.

After going to buy charcoal, Liu Yiyu also spent five hangs of money to buy twenty-five catties of charcoal.

Fortunately, charcoal is resistant to burning, and more than 20 catties of charcoal are enough to burn for a while.

The four iron stoves opened fire in unison, and after burning in the bamboo hut for an hour, the inside of the bamboo hut began to warm up.

The sisters of the Liu family, it took three days of hard work to fill the big wooden basin with soil, and now it is a little too late, Liu Yiyu called the second sister to mix the soil with last winter, and their own fertilizer in it.

After that, Liu Yiyu sisters took the batch of sweet potato seedlings that had been cultivated before, began to cut the seedlings one by one, and inserted them directly into the empty wooden basin, and at the other end, Liu Li took the eighth sister, the sixth sister and Xun'er, and cut the sweet potatoes or potatoes into small pieces, and let the fourth sister and the third sister bury these small pieces of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the soil, let them sprout and grow into seedlings, and then transplant and plant.

"Big sister, can this method be successful?" After the Liu family put all the seedlings in the big wooden basin in the greenhouse bamboo house, Liu Li asked Liu Yiyu with some worry.

Liu Li also knew that the eldest sister asked someone to make these utensils and buy charcoal, I was afraid that it would cost a lot of silver, the eldest sister didn't tell herself, I was afraid that I would be reluctant, Liu Li also pretended not to know, and didn't ask clearly, but Liu Li also knew in his heart that I was afraid that these things would cost one or two silver dollars.

"Mother, don't worry, didn't you cultivate a batch of excellent seedlings in the cabin before? We've just expanded the place, and the method is still the same, so don't worry about it.

Now it's almost half of February, and tomorrow our dry field will start to turn over the soil, and there will be someone here to keep watch, watering from time to time, filling some charcoal into the iron stove, and keeping the greenhouse and bamboo house warm.

From tomorrow, our family will begin to turn over the soil, my mother will take the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister to do these things first, and from tomorrow, I will take Xun'er, the sixth sister and the eighth sister to guard here first, and water together, and by the way, tell the three of them when to water and how to take care of these things, and when the three of them learn these things, we will take turns to do these jobs one by one, don't be busy when the time comes."

"Eldest sister, this year's mother looks at the weather has not warmed up, our family will go to turn the soil, will it be earlier, according to the past, to the half of February, the weather will slowly warm up, this year, look at the weather, I'm afraid it's really going to be cold later, we raised seedlings in advance, maybe you can really buy money?". Liu Yisa sisters smiled one by one when they heard that the seedlings they had raised in advance could buy money.

"Eldest sister, since it's a little too early to turn over the soil, change Ming'er, our family will come to the greenhouse bamboo house to learn with the eldest sister how to take care of these seedlings." The third sister Liu Yishuang said happily.

"Cheng, it's not early tonight, everyone washes and sleeps." Before leaving, Liu Yiyu closed the iron furnace damper, leaving only a finger of slits, the temperature at night was lower than during the day, and no one was guarding here, Liu Yiyu was also afraid that after the charcoal fire in these iron furnaces was extinguished, the temperature in the greenhouse bamboo house could not reach the temperature of these seedlings growing, and he would freeze to death, afraid that the Liu family would be busy in vain.

However, Liu Yiyu also planned to check the situation in the greenhouse bamboo house at least three times in one night.

On this day, Liu Yiyu got up twice at night, went to the bamboo house to see the situation, the night was really much colder than the day, and the four iron furnaces in the bamboo houses in the greenhouses in the past only need to open a thin crack to let the charcoal in the iron furnace burn normally, which can meet the temperature needs of these seedlings in the greenhouse bamboo house.

After the evening, the temperature of the night drops, Liu Yiyu opened the iron furnace in the greenhouse bamboo house to the size of an adult's finger, and the charcoal fire in the iron stove is burning, but it can not meet the temperature demand in the greenhouse bamboo house.

After Liu Yiyu saw this, he hurriedly opened most of the dampers of the four iron furnaces, and added several pieces of charcoal to burn them.

After Liu Yiyu stayed in the greenhouse bamboo house for more than half an hour, he saw that the temperature in the greenhouse bamboo house had risen to the temperature required by these seedlings during the day, and then went back to sleep.

After Liu Yiyu came to the greenhouse bamboo house for the second time at night to check, he saw that the temperature in the greenhouse bamboo house was suitable, and after adding a few pieces of charcoal, Liu Yiyu also had some concerns about the care of the greenhouse bamboo house at night.
