Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Madam, where am I being more serious? Ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law, have they ever heard of growing vegetables in the house~?"

Mrs. Li's words contained a very obvious bias, and Li Jingmo was immediately dissatisfied. He is now regarded as a person with official status. Why is his status in the family so low? Is it tolerable or unbearable!

When Ye Guozhong saw Li Jingmo turn the conversation to him, he thought for a while, and said, "There was no before, does not mean that there will be no in the future. Since Xiaoxuan returned to Chang'an, he has been good at creating miracles. Jingmo, as a father, why? Don't even believe in his own son?"

Rarely, Ye Guozhong actually started to speak for Li Zexuan.

The old lady of the Ye family smiled upon hearing the words: "Master is right, Xuan'er is not like a casual talker! Jingmo, you are so full of words now, you will have to be hungry in the future~!"

The old lady's words immediately made everyone laugh.

Lan'er clapped his hands and said: "Hehe! Daddy is going to be hungry! But don't worry, Daddy, Lan'er will turn around and give you something to eat~!"

Food delivery~? Your father, I'm not going to go to jail, I need your little girl's film to send me food~?

Li Jingmo's old face turned black, and everyone laughed again.

While several people were talking, two rows of wooden sticks of the same height had been inserted on the edge of the ground in the yard, and a curved bamboo strip was supported on top of the two wooden cabinets, which looked really like a house. s frame.

Li Zexuan didn't care about being poor with his father at this time. He went down in person and directed the servants in the house to tie the custom-made white oilcloths to the brackets one by one.

There is no plastic in this era. Li Zexuan thought about it, so he had to replace it with tarpaulin, saying it was white tarpaulin, but how could the white cloth remain white after soaking in tung oil? It looks like dark yellow, but even so, it is much better than black. After all, black cloth absorbs light and does not transmit light, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetables!

These tarpaulins are specially made by Li Zexuan, and two ropes are attached to them at specific distances to tie them to the brackets inserted in advance.

The winter in the north is particularly cold. To be on the safe side, one layer of tarpaulin is not enough to solve the problem. Li Zexuan made this greenhouse into a double-layer tarpaulin structure inside and outside. As a result, the greenhouse is more insulated.

Of course, in addition to this, Li Zexuan also prepared a set of thermal insulation solutions, which is the "natural" heating method.

The so-called natural heating is not an increase in temperature for no reason, but the action of a kind of magic substance, which is a fermentation agent.

The specific method is to fill the soil with cow dung, pig dung, fresh garbage, manure and crushed straw and straw when preparing the ground, making borders or making seedbeds, and then add an appropriate amount of wheat koji or Xiaoqu as a starter, and finally Landfill the vegetable garden soil so that the microorganisms in the starter can work with the raw materials.

These raw materials can slowly release heat from the ground and gradually increase the temperature of the soil and air to ensure the normal growth of plants.

Although Li Zexuan in this life has never planted land, don’t forget that he was born in a farmer’s family in his previous life. At that time, his family used to build a greenhouse. At that time, this method of microbial fermentation and heat release was used to ensure the greenhouse temperature. Facts have proved that the effect is quite good.

It's just that the starter they used at that time was also an industrial starter, and the effect might be better than that of wheat or Xiaoqu.

It took more than an hour for more than 20 servants to "build" the greenhouse, which is less than half an acre.

The first time I saw this kind of long "house", Lan'er was extremely excited. The little girl was shuttled back and forth in the greenhouse, but she didn't know she was tired, she couldn't pull it out, as if she wanted to treat this as her new home. .

But when the Three Treasures picked up a load of dung, no one needed to say that this girl ran out as quickly as possible!

"Smelly Three Treasures! You're all right, why are you picking two buckets of excrement over here, ah, it's so stinking, you are so disgusting!"

Lan'er held her nose and cursed as she ran.

"Miss, I...I...it was the master who made me..."

Sambo looked aggrieved. In fact, he didn't want to pick this stinking thing. Isn't this what Li Zexuan asked for?

"Okay, Sambo, people will soon fill the vegetable field with horse dung and cow dung, and then sprinkle with wheat koji, and then plant the seeds of isatis, winter melon, leeks and shepherd's purse!"

Li Zexuan interrupted Sambo and ordered.

In other words, these dung can not be ordinary dung, but fresh horse dung and cow dung. It is not easy to get this stuff. Dozens of servants were dispatched in the mansion, as well as more than a dozen guards brought by Pang Feiji. , Almost all the cow dung and horse dung from the houses in Chang'an City were taken away.

The reason why cow dung and horse dung are used instead of human dung is mainly because cows and horses are herbivorous animals~www.readwn.com~The dung contains undigested residues, which are easier to ferment, and the fermented The product is better for vegetable fertility!

"Good! Master!"

Sambo responded, took the other servants, and began to work in full swing.

Suddenly, the West Courtyard smelled bad.

Li Jingmo, Madam Li, Ye Guozhong and others couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly walked out of the West Courtyard.

Although Li Zexuan has the method of keeping his breath, he is not afraid of the smell, but his wife Han Yuxi is afraid! So he also took Han Yuxi out.

"Cousin, you really have the confidence to grow vegetables in this house~?"

Ye Fashan hung behind and asked Li Zexuan aloud.

Li Zexuan smiled confidently: "Of course! No surprise, you should be able to eat the dishes in Fashan during the New Year! Haha! You can't eat these fresh things during the New Year in Nanyang!"

"Thanks to cousin!"

Ye Fashan smiled to cater to the sentence, and then continued to ask, "Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, this is the way of heaven. Cousin, if you grow vegetables in winter, isn't it against the way of heaven?"

Li Zexuan looked at the hapless boy and said speechlessly, "Well, there are so many dishes. Your cousin, I just want to eat a little bit of my own vegetables. Why is it against the law? Fashan, don't be so rigid all day long. Well, if you want to live a good life, you have to...cough cough, you can’t be too careless! Think about it yourself!"

Having said that, he patted Ye Fashan on the shoulder, then turned his head and said to Han Yu Xi: "Lady, I will go back to Yunshan for my husband, do you want to go with me?"

Han Yuxi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, my concubine also goes, maybe I can help the grandfather a little bit more!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Well, let's prepare a carriage for your husband~!"
