After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became colder day by day, and the vegetables in Lan Yi's vegetable garden had begun to turn yellow and withered, and there were gradually no fresh vegetables to eat, and there was nothing else except the dried fruits that were saved. Lan Yisheng is now, due to the development of modern agricultural breeding technology and transportation, vegetables are supplied in all seasons, but in this Great Zhou Dynasty, even bananas, apples, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes and other ordinary fruits and vegetables are not available. Spring, summer and autumn are seasonal vegetables and fruits, but winter is really difficult. It was not yet winter, and Lan Yi felt the chill and depression.

Lan Yi's daily cooking began to be based on the inventory at home, and radishes, cabbage, pumpkins, dried and stored wild vegetables, mushrooms, and fungus became the main dishes on the table.

Fortunately, after entering mid-September, Lan Yi's ten hens finally began to lay eggs. Although the eggs are small and can only pick up two or three a day, the family is still very happy. Baby and Yu'er spend a lot of time squatting in front of the chicken coop every day, waiting for the hen to lay eggs and pick them up and put them in the small bamboo basket in the kitchen, thinking about what kind of delicious food to let the mother make for them.

In addition to these ten bought hens, the traps they dug in the woods got a total of ten pheasants and five hares, which was already completely more than other people's traps, and Lan Yi had to sigh that she was too lucky. Lan Yi left six pheasants, cut off the feathers on their wings, and raised them with his own firewood chickens. The remaining pheasants, hares and the four roosters raised by their own families were either eaten by their own families, or given to the second uncle's family and Wang Linshan's grandmother's family, and gifts such as chickens and ducks were still more popular among the villagers.

Six pheasants, three males and three females, originally according to Lan Yi's intentions, the male pheasant left one, but Yu'er and the baby looked at the male pheasant with a bright color and was really beautiful, so they strongly asked to stay, and the six pheasants were raised at home for half a month and gradually gave birth, and the three female pheasants also began to lay eggs. Mountain eggs are different from the hens at home, the eggs of the female pheasant are light brown or gray-blue, which looks very different, although the taste is similar to the domestic hen eggs, the eggs are boiled every time the eggs are boiled by the two children to eat, and occasionally they will take the eggs to the children to show off, which makes Lan Yi feel very cute.

Because Yu'er often invites children to eat at home, and takes food out to share with everyone, there are many children who are willing to play with him, and Yu'er's popularity is getting better and better. This reminded Lan Yi that one of the children she played with when she was a child was a supermarket at home, so there were always a lot of snacks in the bag, everyone liked to play with him, and even helped him carry his schoolbag, just to share some delicious food, and the childhood years were always so direct, simple and cute.

In late September, a female goose sneakily came out of the firewood room and was discovered by Lan Yi. Lan Yi felt that this sneaky female goose had secretly laid eggs, but she didn't find goose eggs when she went in, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange. After another two days, the mother and son secretly followed the sneaky white goose, opened the window to find its location, and later found that the white goose had laid eggs and actually pulled straw with its mouth to bury the eggs, and then cautiously left and right quietly walked out of the firewood room as if nothing had happened.

When the white goose went out to play in the water, he ran into the firewood room to open the haystack, and actually picked up five goose eggs.

Since then, the three geese will lay eggs every other day, plus the thirteen hens that lay eggs, Lan Yi no longer has to go to the market to buy eggs, and even has the rest that can be given to the second aunt's family or used to make cakes.

After the cold weather, Lan Yi spent more days at home, in addition to reading books and making clothes for the children, she found that the days became a little boring, so she began to think about improving her food, and the first thing that came to mind was modern greenhouse technology.

There is no difficult technology to build a greenhouse, the key is the plastic sheeting or glass that covers the greenhouse, which is now impossible to find.

Although there are some deviations between the Great Zhou and Lan Yi's familiar history, the gap in all aspects is not large, there is no plastic cloth and glass here, and the white paper or white yarn pasted on the window lattice, the rich and noble people are more extravagant, and they will decorate the windows or screens after the transparent mica stone is thinned, which is not uncommon in Tang and Song poetry. The window of Lan Yi's house has just been replaced with white oiled paper, which has good light transmittance, and can also be moisture-proof and windproof, but it is not strong enough, and it will be punctured if you are not careful.

After several investigations and practical measures, Lan Yi decided to choose white oilcloth as an alternative to plastic sheeting. Because the temperature and humidity inside and outside the greenhouse are very different after the greenhouse is built, the top of the greenhouse often has water droplets, the oil paper is easy to break, the white yarn can not be insulated, and only the white oil cloth can meet the requirements of Lan Yi. The tarpaulin is a waterproof oiled cloth used to make zuò oil umbrellas and carports in Dazhou, the common tarpaulin is black, but the white tarpaulin is also found, and the white tarpaulin transmittance is equivalent to the oiled paper of the pasted window, which is worse than the plastic cloth used in the modern greenhouse, but it is also acceptable, the key is that it is waterproof, windproof, and strong and naima.

After solving this problem, Lan Yi built a greenhouse on the north side of her vegetable garden. First of all, dig the anti-freeze pit for planting vegetables, and then dig the excavated soil and mud on the east, west and north sides to prevent wind and heat preservation, and then use bamboo poles to build a shelf to support the top and the oilcloth on the south side of the antifreeze pit, and then cover the oilcloth with a roll-up grass fence to keep warm at night or in colder days.

After consulting the second uncle's opinion, I knew that the winter permafrost layer here is more than half a meter thick, and the antifreeze pit designed by Lan Yi is ten meters long, five meters wide, and more than half a meter deep.

Lan Yi's yard is now very spacious. When Wang Linshan's courtyard was circled, it was circled according to the size of the six main houses, and the entire courtyard was more than 40 meters wide and nearly 60 meters long, but in the end, the family only built three squares against the east wall, so the west side has been empty, Lan Yi built a basement and wing, and it didn't take up much space, such a large courtyard is enough for her to use her imagination.

Lan Yi invited the second uncle to come over to help build the greenhouse, and after planting the wheat, the second uncle was idle, and when he heard that Lan Yi was going to build a "greenhouse", he brought Wang Linxi with great interest. He was very interested in Lan Yi's new ideas that kept coming up, and these new ideas often worked well.

Second Uncle Wang estimated the size of the project, and invited two masons from the village, a carpenter and a carpenter to come over, and the seven of them completed the construction of the greenhouse in five days. The craftsman used thin bamboo poles to weave the top in the shape of a fisherman, fixed several thick bamboos as supports, placed the top on top of the bamboo, and made six roof beams in the middle of the greenhouse so that the bamboo roof could withstand some pressure.

The top is covered with a tight layer of oilcloth. Spending a tael of silver to buy five pieces of tarpaulin, she considered the ventilation and asked the carpenter to open four windows on the south side for ventilation. Later, Lan Yi hired someone from the village to weave a fence out of straw, which could be lowered and rolled up with rope and bamboo poles, which she often sees in greenhouses in modern society.

In the greenhouse, a one-and-a-half-foot earthen kang is built in the east, west and north walls of the greenhouse, and firewood is put into it to burn to ensure that the temperature of crop growth can be reached in the greenhouse. There is a small door on the east side of the wall, and according to Lan Yi's request, a small room is built as a temperature buffer room to prevent cold wind and cold air from blowing in, so that people can stay in the hut for a while when they come out of the greenhouse to adapt to the temperature difference and avoid catching a cold.

In this way, the greenhouse is built.

Lan Yi divided the land into ten ridges, sprinkled fertilizer and turned it with a shovel and planted four kinds of vegetables: a cucumber on the west side, then a tusk of lettuce, two shallots, and three spinach and three leeks each, which were enough to meet the needs of a family of three.

Yu'er and the baby were more curious about the greenhouse at the beginning, and every day they went in and out with Lan Yi, watching their mother sprinkle rapeseeds, squatting together in the vegetable furrow to witness the miracle of vegetable germination, and then weeding the seedlings, very happy.
