Growing grapes in the snow and ice of Amster?

Liu Aci is a little arrogant, and sometimes even seems to be stunned, but she resolutely will not let herself blind others with the title of "brain-dead" on her head.

No matter who dares to question Sister Ci's IQ, he must be slapped in the face, hum!

"Boss, planting vines in this weather will freeze to death the vine seedlings!"

Sturt Garland looked at Liu Ci with infinite sorrow. The boss is very mysterious and impresses him with his attitude, but Stull suspects that Liu Ci will not plant at all...... Also, looking at her appearance, she doesn't look like a girl who can plant at all, even Stull, who ran a winery, also hires workers to manage the vineyard, he just needs to know how to operate, to understand business operations.

In December, Amster was covered with snow everywhere, and Liu Ci did not move to the city as the cook said.

She asked the hired workers to build a small building, Nana decorated it, and Liu Ci moved in with the maid.

With the arrival of the old housekeeper James, Liu Ci's manor construction plan finally has a general manager who supervises and coordinates the construction.

The old butler set off from Rhine City before the accident at Stull Winery, fortunately he chose the right time to go out of the city, before the accident at Stull Winery, and when the mercenaries who took over the task took revenge on Stlev Manor, the old butler was already almost in Amster, the Marquis was out of reach, and the old butler James survived.

The arrival of the old butler was not a pity for Liu Ci because the spring breeze blew all over the cold land of Amster early.

She has too many ideas and ideas in her head, and when inspiration bursts out, according to her temperament, she has no patience to take care of the overall situation, and generally implements what comes to her mind.

According to Liu Ci's idea, she wanted to train a team, so she sent Lydia and Arnold to form it, and paid 20,000 gold coins to the two for the upfront expenses.

She wanted to build a large estate, and bought a large piece of land through Lady Betty, which cost 20,000 gold coins.

Originally, there were more than 10,000 gold coins, enough for the manor to do a good job in infrastructure construction, in order to "capture" a good business talent, and in order to disgust the Marquis, she spent 10,000 gold coins to issue a mercenary mission...... When the news came from the Rhine City that the personable Marquis was so angry that he was bedridden, Liu Ci did laugh.

After laughing, when the chief manager in charge of trivial matters came to inquire about the construction cost, Liu Ci was forced to do so.

Her entire net worth is only a few thousand gold coins.

The tea saplings that are being transported back on the road, Liu Ci's "future", the cost is still paid in advance by Stuart.

After James heard Liu Ci's words, he also began to worry about the economic situation of his master.

James calculated a detailed expenditure for Liu Ci:

"Miss, because of your generosity, the hired workers have an income of 5 silver coins a month, and fifty permanent hired laborers, and you need to pay 250 silver coins a month, which is a salary of 25 gold. Their wives and children over the age of 12 help out in the manor, and they are paid a monthly salary of 3 silver coins, and there are 110 eligible salaries, and you need to pay 330 silver coins a month, which is 33 gold coins...... Under the conditions of providing them with food and lodging, the salary is only a small matter, and the flour ingredients and daily necessities that two hundred people need every day will cost at least 5 gold coins, which is 150 gold coins a month.

The grapevine seedlings that Mr. Garland asked for, with your temperament, will certainly not be in vain. At the cost price, you will have to pay Mr. Garland at least about 2,000 gold coins.

Tea seedlings of value that cannot be estimated and are being shipped to Amster.

And if your estate only grows grapes and tea trees, if you want to make a profit, it will be at least three years later. James calculated for you that, in three years, without adding to the hired man, the salary of the hired man alone would be as much as 2,000 gold coins, and this total did not include the cost of living, and your additional expenses were already the wages of several of our servants who followed you from the Rhine......"

James, who has been a housekeeper for most of his life, is very specific in his calculations for Liu Ci.

Liu Ci knew that what the other party said was not an exaggeration. The price level of Amster is not lower than that of the Rhine, in fact, because of its scarcity, many things are more expensive than the Rhine.

1 gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins, which is equal to the living expenses of a civilian family of three for more than half a month.

Nana and other maids left their hometown to follow Liu Ci to Amster, and their monthly salary was only 3 gold coins.

In the case of food and lodging, Liu Ci paid the employees 5 silver coins per month not because she was stingy, and the amount of food for an adult man originally accounted for most of the income of poor families. The rich have no porridge and no clothes, no matter where they go, there are serious rich and poor poles, Liu Ci provides them with full food, warm clothes, and a small building to live in, such welfare has made the envy and jealousy of the short-term workers, and after the end of the canal construction period, they are reluctant to give up on Liu Ci's manor.

Liu Ci is not wealthy now, and she only has four thousand eight gold coins left in her account.

Under the premise that she didn't want to sell talismans, and there were no mercenary tasks that were worth her condescension recently, and she didn't want to rob them, if Liu Ci wanted to make living money in the short term, she had to take the time to use her brains in addition to her daily cultivation and physical exercises.

Stuart has already found a batch of vine seedlings for her.

In accordance with her request, she chose the winery's most popular "Sauvignon", which has a thick skin and small fruit, which is resistant to general mold and disease, and is suitable for planting on well-drained gravel soils. Sauvignon wines are aged to develop a variety of aromas and tastes...... Fortunately, this product is not very cold-tolerant, and there are not a few grape vines that freeze to death every year.

Buying carefully cultivated grape seedlings is worth a lot of money, and all Liu Ci asks for is an old branch with germs.

The fastest way to plant grapes is the "pruning" method, which is, like a sweet potato vine, select a section with germ, cut that section and insert it into the soil, and wait for it to take root and sprout before transplanting.

In fact, not only grapes, many fruit trees and flowers are suitable for this method, the Magic Continent does not pay attention to agriculture, unlike ancient Huaxia in thousands of years to summarize a variety of "grafting" technology, in the Magic Continent, the status of people engaged in agriculture is low, slaves are basically illiterate, all day long only know numb work, who will summarize the agricultural book?

In December, Emster spat at the sky and fell to the ground almost like ice. Even without the reminder of the old butler James, there is a plan that is imminent - those vines without roots, if they are put down, they will not be far from freezing to death.

Agriculture is not valued, there is no agricultural book, there is no agricultural talent, there is naturally no "greenhouse".

A long time ago, when the New Era of the Earth Federation was still a feudal dynasty, there was a saying of "fire room".

In the Analects, it is recorded that Confucius said: "Do not get tired of eating, do not get tired of fine food, do not eat rotten meat, do not eat if you are evil, do not eat if you smell evil, do not eat if you are out of food, do not eat from time to time, and do not eat if you do not cut properly." "If you don't eat from time to time, the sage advises everyone to eat according to the season and season.

In addition, Qin Shi Huang took advantage of the many hot springs at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and planted melons and fruits at the foot of Lishan Mountain in winter, so that Confucian scholars could visit them.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties before the new era, greenhouses have developed into cellar-type greenhouses, standing earth walls, paper windows, and fire-type greenhouses that can not only make full use of solar energy, but also burn fires and heat.

As for the modern technological era, which is closest to the new era, improved solar greenhouses, large glass greenhouses and modern greenhouses are becoming more advanced from generation to generation.

Before the new era came, before the Dust Heart Fairy rebuilt the earth, for a long time, the Earth Federation could only develop indoor cultivation, the soil was polluted, and all the nutrients were added to the water...... The room temperature and humidity can be adjusted, and the accuracy of each plant is monitored, and high yield is the inevitable result.

Of course, in the Magic Continent, Liu Ci had long been desperate for the convenience technology she had once taken for granted.

From the Rhine to Emster, the creaking four-wheeled carriage takes a month, and it is not enough time for a year or two to ride the carriage around the three empires. I want her to be on the Earth Federation, taking a starship, from Pluto to Dongting City, the mother planet of the earth, the distance between planets, but it only takes a few hours.

Thinking of the past, Liu Ci was a handful of bitter tears.

She can't afford to use a high-tech greenhouse now, but the low-tech "greenhouse" is undoubtedly a good choice for the vines to spend the winter.

"I'm going to build some greenhouses."

In the face of Stuhl's questioning, Liu Ci gave this statement.

The good young man who laughed very contagiously was very confused: The greenhouse, is it a god horse thing?

Liu Ci asked the old housekeeper James to buy wood and glass, she is now short of money, and if she is not short of money, she can use metal, and the life of the greenhouse will be longer.

Opaque glass is not a luxury, and the windows of the middle-class apartments on the Champagne Avenue in the Rhine are glass-inlayed. It proves that the price of glass in the Magic Continent is not only acceptable to people with small assets, but also has the technology to produce large pieces of glass - glass, a product of the alchemist's accidental accident, has long been deeply rooted in the lives of mainland people.

Although glass is not particularly expensive, it is also a lot of money to build several greenhouses, and Liu Ci is now overstretched with gold coins in her hand, so she has to spend more thought.

How to say that she is also the daughter of the family who has lived for more than 20 years in the era of the great universe, Liu Ci acts as a bastard, which does not mean that she is illiterate.

The Emster Mountains have plenty of sunshine and the valley is open, so as long as you choose a good place on the sunny side, Liu Ci calculated that the relationship between light and heat, and the position of the glass mosaic is not difficult to find.

The greenhouse she built is two people high, only the roof is completely covered with glass, and the lower part is made of brick and earth, with a row of windows on the wall, which is also sealed with glass, which can adjust the room temperature and make better use of the oblique light. The timber procured by the old butler James was used to serve as beams for the glass roof and supports in the greenhouse.

The brick burning was managed by the hired worker Harvey, and the clay did not cost money, so Liu Ciyi built a total of 15 "greenhouses", covering an area of nearly 12 acres. The glass and wood cost Liu Ci a total of nearly 3,000 gold coins.

Looking at the balance accounts, the old butler James looked at Liu Ci with a complicated gaze.

This stereotypical but conscientious old man, he is really planning for Liu Ci. Seeing that Miss Tzu did not think about her career and built a dozen glass houses to play with, James succeeded Stull and joined the army of sorrows.

Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward...... Ignoring the sorrowful old and young, Liu Ci asked Harvey to stop burning bricks and asked him to start burning small clay pots.

Miss Ci, if you continue to play like this, two or three hundred people will not be able to afford to eat!

The old butler James held the ledger in his hand, and his frown never let go.
