Chapter 106 "Building a Greenhouse"
The fox's meat is not delicious compared to rabbit meat, and the fox meat tastes strangely sour, this fishy sourness makes Jiang Yan frown, but the Lu family sisters on the side eat it with relish.
For Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, being able to eat a full meal a day is already relatively happy, but a day like the current one, when you can eat three meals a day, is unimaginable for the past.
Especially the military rations they ate at the beginning, the rich taste made them not sleep well the first night, and their minds were full of the tempting aroma of rice.
This made the Lu family sisters even more convinced that coming here was the most correct decision they had made.
After a simple lunch, the fire in the courtyard gradually faded, with the barrier of a high wall, this group of fires finally only burned the weeds in the courtyard, looking at the grass ash all over the ground, Jiang Yan picked up the hoe on the side and handed it to the Lu sisters who were full of wine and food.
The fire only burned the upper half of the weeds, and the roots buried under the soil had no effect, as the ancient poem said, the wildfire burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, since you want to make a greenhouse here, then these weeds can not be left, pick up the hoe, ginger smoke will dig out the grass roots in the field one by one.
After studying for a period of time ago, the sisters of the Lu family on the side have a preliminary understanding of farming, learning the movements of ginger smoke, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili followed behind unfamiliarly, eradicating the grass roots.
The structure of the farm next door is very simple, with only a small road and land on both sides, and there is not even a well, which makes Jiang Yan's work much easier.
After nearly an hour of busy work, the land in the front yard was finally disposed of by Jiang Yan and the three of them.
Sitting at the front desk of the farmhouse, Jiang Yan and the three of them rested tiredly, drank the water in the cup, Jiang Yan visually measured the area of the courtyard, and conceived the construction plan of the greenhouse.
This yard is not too wide, if it is built from the east wall to the west wall, Jiang Yan can make the skeleton of several domes, starting from the two walls, the load-bearing column in the middle, and then laying a layer of greenhouse plastic cloth on the skeleton, so that the simplest greenhouse can be made.
However, although the yard is narrow, it is also much wider than the average greenhouse, and Jiang Yan wanted to remove the iron frame of other greenhouses and transplant it here, but according to this plan, this method is completely useless.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan set his eyes on the path in the middle.
The middle path divides the whole farm into two, in this case, ginger smoke can be used as the spine of the greenhouse along this path, and then build a ridge greenhouse with high middle and low sides, although it is very different from the shape of the traditional greenhouse, but at least for the current ginger smoke, the production is much simpler.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan stood up instantly, patted the ash on his buttocks, and pulled the Lu sisters to lift the stone slabs on the path one by one.
Unloading the stone slab into his yard, Jiang Yan took out a shovel, dug a pit nearly half a meter deep in the center of the land, dug along the path, and worked all afternoon, Jiang Yan and the three finally dug out the foundation of the ridge.
After doing all this, the sky gradually darkened, and after taking the other fox as dinner, Jiang Yan came to the master bedroom with the futon in his arms.
Gao sorrowfully left to vacate the master bedroom, and took the Lu family sisters, Jiang Yan hugged the bedding on the kang and laid it out, and then brought a bundle of firewood to light the stove pit of the earthen kang.
The flames brought the cold earthen kang back to its former glory, lying on the warm futon, Jiang Yan let out a comfortable moan.
"Ah, it's so comfortable!"
The sisters of the Lu family who were lying next to them couldn't help but close their eyes and feel the warmth brought by the fire kang.
Nothing was said all night.
slept comfortably all night, which made Jiang Yan rarely lie in bed for a while, and after struggling for a while, Jiang Yan finally took the Lu sisters to get up and start a new round of work.
The ridge of the greenhouse needs bricks and cement, although Jiang Yan is not sure whether there is cement in Shengjia Village, but Jiang Yan knows that there must be bricks in one place, that is, the village detachment.
The village detachment is the richest place in Shengjia Village, and although more than 50 years have passed, there are still a large number of building materials stored in this village detachment, such as the river sand, stone powder and hollow bricks that Jiang Yan needed to use this time.
With the help of a small trolley, Jiang Yan transported again and again, and finally transported the hollow bricks needed, using the previous method of building a kang, Jiang Yan placed two red bricks in the hollow bricks, and then slowly built up a brick wall like building blocks.
With the help of the Lu sisters, the speed of progress was much faster than before, and after only half a day, the spine in the middle had been built by Jiang Yan and others.
After building the wall, Jiang Yan also cut a few trees in the back alley, and put the peeled logs on the ridged wall, the advantage of this is that the rounded logs provide a soft arc to the plastic sheet, which will not let the plastic sheet be scratched by the rough surface, and in order to protect the plastic sheet, Jiang Yan also spread several layers of waste clothes on the log.
The remaining logs were put aside by Jiang Yan to support the wall, the triangular structure is the most stable, with the support of the logs, which makes the ridge wall in the middle almost indestructible, kicked a few feet, and saw that the wall did not move at all, Jiang Yan finally returned home satisfied.
After a busy day, Jiang Yan finally finished building the foundation of the greenhouse, and then he needed to do some meticulous work.
In order to accomplish this purpose, Jiang Yan had to dismantle the skeleton of the greenhouse in the whole village, and it took a lot of effort for Jiang Yan to finally spend two days to make the skeleton like a rib, spreading to the corner of the wall along the ridge in the middle.
After doing this, all that remains is to lay the plastic sheeting.
The laying of the plastic sheet is relatively simple, just woke up on the fifth day, after a simple breakfast, Jiang Yan took the Lu sisters to the neighboring garden, and slowly unfolded the prepared plastic sheet, Jiang Yan stood in the corner of the wall, holding the plastic sheet and letting the Lu sisters in front of him pull.
Along the 'ribs', the Lu sisters covered the plastic sheeting tightly, and with the wide plastic sheeting finished, Jiang Yan finally completed the production of the roof of the shed, and the next step was to finish.
The reserved plastic sheet tail was buried in the soil, and in order to prevent the plastic sheet from being blown up by the wind, Jiang Yan also took out a hollow brick to crush it to death.
After doing this, Jiang Yan finally straightened his waist and observed his masterpiece.
The large greenhouses that are extended to both sides of the wall, except for the lack of a hot stove, have basically been made, and the only drawback is that the door is damaged, and it is very leaky.
"Tomorrow we'll fix the gate and make a hot stove, shall we?" In this way, the greenhouse is finished. ”
Turning his head, Jiang Yan looked at the Lu family sisters beside him.
