Chapter 203: Greenhouse

After listening to Li Ru's explanation, everyone immediately realized.

But Gao Shun frowned,

"Lord, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"The two of us, what else should we not talk about?"

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then the subordinates will say it directly."

Gao Shun arched his hand.

"My subordinates have read the history books and know a little about Taiguanyuan.

It costs a lot of money to eat this fresh vegetable.

Although the treasury is gradually filling up now, the lord should not be so extravagant. ”

According to historical records, Taiguanyuan spends more than 10 million yuan every year in order to grow this out-of-season vegetable.

Gao Shun's words were to persuade Huaxiong not to be too extravagant, but to be frugal.

After hearing this, the others nodded approvingly.

Hua Xiong laughed,

"Gao Shun, I know you have good intentions.

But these vegetables are really not grown according to the method of Taiguanyuan. ”

Hearing Hua Xiong say this, a blank expression suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.

"My lord, by what means did you grow it?"

Li Ru said suspiciously.

"Since you ask so, then I will open your eyes, lest you complain about my extravagance and waste."

Hua Xiong put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked outside.

The crowd hurried after him.

The area of Huaxiong Mansion is also one of the best in Luoyang City.

But compared to others, his backyard is not a courtyard of rockeries.

It's either land with a variety of crops.

Or it's a small yard for researching all sorts of new things.

Hua Xiong led them to the corner.

When everyone looked at it, the land was covered with a white shed made of unknown materials, and it looked mysterious.

"Let's go, all the vegetables are grown here."

Hua Xiong beckoned, lifted the curtain and walked in first.

The crowd followed.

When they went in, their jaws almost dropped.

The temperature inside the greenhouse is suitable, and the soil is full of a variety of vegetables.

Li Ru searched around, but he couldn't find a setting to raise the temperature in the shed.

"Lord, how did you grow it?"

Li Ru couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's called a greenhouse."

Hua Xiong pointed to the greenhouse and introduced,

"With this technology, fresh vegetables can be grown in the winter!"

This is the greenhouse that Huaxiong used the materials obtained from the previous lottery to drum up.

"I see."

Li Ru suddenly realized.

"But I don't know if this technology costs money?"

Gao Shun asked the key question.

"Now, the cost is quite high. But compared to Taiguanyuan's method, it is still cheap.

I have ordered Ding Shuai and them to study this technique.

Over time, the technology became widespread.

At that time, even ordinary people can eat fresh vegetables in winter. ”

Everyone was in awe.

"The lord really loves the people like a son, and no matter what time it is, he cares about the people."

Guo Jia sighed sincerely.

"Lord, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you just now."

Gao Shun apologized to Huaxiong with a guilty face.

"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." Hua Xiong smiled pleasantly, "No one is perfect, if I make a mistake one day, you have to bring it up like today." ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Gao Shun nodded vigorously.

After seeing the vegetable greenhouse, everyone returned to the lobby and continued to eat hot pot.

Zhou Cang took a bite of meat, his eyes rolled,

"Brother Gao Shun, you misunderstood the lord just now, why don't you hurry up and toast the lord and apologize."

Gao Shun looked dazed,

"Didn't I apologize to my lord just now?"

Hua Xiong smiled dumbly,

"Gao Shun, haven't you understood what Zhou Cang meant?

He's a drunkard, a glutton! ”

Gao Shun then understood, crying and laughing,

"Okay, you Zhou Cang, if you are hungry for wine, you will be hungry for bars, you have to take me!"

Zhou Cang smiled cheekily,

"Lord, if you have meat and no wine, you can't make a feast!"

"Okay, since I invited you to dinner today, it will naturally let you have a good time."

Hua Xiong nodded to the subordinates on the side and said,

"Go and bring me the Lafite I've brewed."

Everyone was stunned.

They originally thought that Huaxiong would take out Moutai, but they didn't expect to get any Lafite.

"My lord, what kind of wine is Lafite?"

Zhou Cang said suspiciously.

"You'll find out later."

Hua Xiong smiled mysteriously.

After a while, the servant came up with a few jars.

Hua Xiong lifted the lid of the wine, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine filled the lobby.

Gao Shun, Zhou Cang and others, who have always liked to drink, instantly rolled their throats, and looked at the wine jar with dead eyes.

Hua Xiong slowly poured out the wine in the jar.

I saw the red liquor, like blood, shining with a dazzling white light.

"This is my red wine made from grapes, called Lafite '82."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"This wine is a rare wine!"

Guo Jia looked at the wine glass with a look of surprise.

Zhang Qian, the envoy of the Western Han Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Western Regions, where he saw wine.

So he introduced grapes to the Central Plains and planted them and made wine.

It's a pity that the conditions of grape cultivation were harsh in ancient times, and wine was only consumed by the nobles, and the common people had no taste.

Later, the years were turbulent, and grapes were no longer grown in the Central Plains.

Only the Western Regions paid tribute to the royal family in the form of tribute wine.

"But why did the lord come up with such a strange name?"

Zhou Cang asked.

Hua Xiong named this wine '82 Lafite, which is completely out of a spoof mentality.

He said with a straight face, "Why are you asking so much, if you don't want to drink, I'll take it away." ”

"Don't, don't, lord!"

Zhou Cang hurriedly took the cup and took a sip.

Outside the window, the snow was falling, there was a stove in the house, and everyone was eating hot pot, only to feel hot.

After this sip of wine, Zhou Cang only felt extremely comfortable, and the heat in his body suddenly disappeared!

In particular, the taste of the wine is not as spicy as Moutai, but with sweet and sour.

"Good wine!"

Zhou Cang couldn't help but yell.

The others saw that their eyes were hot, and hurriedly said,

"My lord, we want to taste it too."

"Don't worry, this wine needs a glow-in-the-dark glass."

Hua Xiong asked his subordinates to bring the luminous cups again, and then they were all full.

In the crystal clear luminous glass, the glittering red wine is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Everyone picked up their cups, gestured to each other, and then drank them all.

Hua Xiong drank it in one gulp, "Cool!" ”

What could be more comfortable than eating hot pot and drinking cold wine in cold weather?

Guo Jia put down the wine glass, and his fair cheeks were a little more drunk,

He smiled and said,

"I thought my life was comfortable enough.

But today I found out that it is still the main guild enjoyment.

Compared with the lord, I am a native bun in the countryside. ”
