Villager of Daming

Chapter 213 Red and Blue Glass Can Be Made into a Shed (Thank you for the third monthly ticket!)
"Shopkeeper, move something?" One of the diners stood up.

"Yes! We will help you move it." Another person echoed.

The others got up one after another, and they added food and rice today, and they couldn't shrink back from working hard.

"Thank you, everyone. Sit down and eat. We have manpower." The chief thanked him, and went to the diagonally opposite side. There were [-] deliverers there, and another [-] were trained.

It happened to find people who were trained to work, and the 100 people who were eating gave them a rest.

Fifty people put down their chopsticks, pushed into the cart and followed, and the guards followed.

Zhu Wentian was holding a thick pole, which he held upright, and two large baskets were hung on the hooks below.

Xiaocao is the same as him.

When we arrived at the pier, the people in the four boats were surrounded by other people and asked how the water condition of the canal was, whether it was easy to walk, and where it was easy to hit.

The boatmen in Xiaqiu Village answered one by one. They were very proud that they were the first team to sail, and they could boast for a lifetime.

"The head of the village! Hanhan!" The villagers and boatmen greeted each other when they saw the man coming to pick up the goods.

"You are guarding the boat, and I have brought you food and drinks." The head of the village asked people to put down the food and wine first.

Others boarded the ship to carry the goods. There were boxes with glass mirrors inside, white fungus, fungus, and other vegetables, including...

"Watermelon? This is a watermelon, right?" The people around noticed that the straw mat on the boat was lifted, and someone passed the watermelon off the boat, and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

The person next to him: "There are also muskmelons. Which basket is cucumbers? The top flowers have thorns."

"I can smell the fresh scent of cucumber."

"I smell coriander."

"Looking at the twelfth lunar month, where did you get it?"

"Perhaps it was shipped from further south."

"If you say it's flying, I'll believe it, but if you say it's flying, I don't believe it."

"Do they sell it?"

"Can you afford it?"

Amidst the discussion, the four boats were unloaded, loaded into cars, and bid farewell to the guards.

Zhu Wentian picked the heaviest thing, the cucumber basket, each weighing more than 100 kilograms, one at the front and one at the back.

Xiaocao followed him, a weight of two hundred catties was nothing, but it was a pity that he couldn't pick a heavier one.

The guards carried watermelons and cantaloupe on their shoulder poles, and carefully stopped them with ropes so that they must not fall.

Stopping at Xuanjin Bridge, Zhu Taiyi led the guards to pick thirty watermelons and one hundred cantaloupe into the imperial city.

After walking two more steps, the chief of staff shouted, "Master Xu, come out and get something."

"Here we come." Shopkeeper Xu ran down. He wanted to sell fresh vegetables tomorrow. He was waiting for Xiaqiu Village to deliver them, or to pick them from the store's shed.

"Yo! Watermelon and cantaloupe, I believe even if they say they were stolen from Tiangong, but now I think it's okay to buy colored glaze that isn't very transparent."

The moment he saw two kinds of melons, shopkeeper Xu was tempted and built a greenhouse to ensure that he could make money.

"Look at it, we'll keep the rest to eat." Li Chang swallowed, feeling hungry.

"Watermelon can be stored for a long time, and cantaloupe can be stored for ten days and a half months. Do you really want to eat it?" Shopkeeper Xu estimated the storage time, and felt distressed after eating it.

"Other people can eat it, why can't the people in Xiaqiu Village eat it? We grow it ourselves, and next year our village will open another ten mu of greenhouses to grow melons."

The head of the village has no idea about money, and it doesn't matter how much he earns, the health of the villagers is the most important thing.

"Yes, you still have more. In fact, it's not too late to plant now. Harvesting a few months in advance is still very expensive." Shopkeeper Xu counted the time.

"Okay! Plant, open ten acres, no, twenty acres, don't wait for the seedlings to be planted before rebuilding." The head of the village has a concept of money again in an instant.

"Are you still growing seedlings? Don't you just plant the seeds in the ground when you grow melons?" Shopkeeper Xu didn't understand.

"Watermelon seeds have a thick skin, and I don't know if they can come out if they are planted directly. First germinate, then grow seedlings, transplant the seedlings into the soil, and the melons will grow big! Look at what we planted.

We are raising seedlings for other vegetables, which can be transplanted at any time. Do not throw seeds casually when growing vegetables in a greenhouse, and ensure that they will grow well after planting. "

The Li Chang said, pointing to the melons in the basket, and asked the other party to choose.

"I'll take twenty watermelons and fifty muskmelons and sell them tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Xu thought about it, gave the quantity, and waved, and the guys came up.

After they finished taking them, the village chief brought down another five watermelons and ten cantaloupe: "You guys keep them and eat them, don't sell them."

"Thank you, I really want to try it." Shopkeeper Xu was not polite, and walked back with a watermelon in his arms.

……

"Watermelon is here? Cut it quickly. I just ate melon after dinner. I just said that the canal is convenient and the water transportation is worry-free. Now I ran over from the canal first."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw two kinds of melons, and heard that Xiaqiu Village was vying for the first navigation, so he knew that the canal was not in vain, at least it was easier to communicate with Xiaqiu Village.

"Chongba, build a shed, and build it quickly. It's just outside the Donghua Gate, close to the Prince's Mansion."

Empress Ma saw watermelon and cantaloupe, and impatiently followed suit. Who doesn't want to eat watermelon in winter?

"Jian, let's build a [-] mu first, and ask Xiaqiu Village how to plant it. After planting it, sell it to the rich."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also anxious, and he had to do things that could make money.

Soon all the princes and princesses in the palace ate melons, those in the harem were sent by Empress Ma, and those with low status were given half a watermelon.

Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang and the six ministers were given a tooth of watermelon and a few pieces of cantaloupe, and they knew they were from Xiaqiu Village without asking.

In the afternoon, when Zhu Xi returned to the store, he shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Zhu Lichang, give me the watermelon, and I will share it with my younger brothers and sisters."

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin really loves brothers and sisters." Li Chang boasted, and moved three more watermelons, and Zhu Xi brought twenty guards.

The guards actually didn't want to eat it, they wanted to sell the watermelon for money, and found it very sweet after eating it.

"It's delicious, a hundred times better than summer ones, my God! This is enjoyment. Father asked me to ask, what is the saying about growing things in greenhouses."

Zhu Xi ate the three-toothed watermelon one after another, narrowing his eyes happily.

"I have written here." The chief took out a stack of papers from his arms: "It records the planting methods and fertilization methods of various crops, and there are seedlings in the village, which can be sent to plant directly.

Liuli!There is no need for transparent ones, and blue ones are also acceptable. They are planted in greenhouses in the village, and sometimes red and blue glazed lamps are used to fill in the light.

Vegetable crops involve a problem of chlorophyll and carotene. If you want to increase the yield, use blue glass to transmit light, or put a red glass next to a blue glass, or add light later. "

The chief handed over the paper, looking like an expert.

Zhu Xing was a little dazed, he knew carrots, and now they were stored in the palace, so he didn't know what carotene was, and he had never heard of chlorophyll.

Thinking about it, he took a stack of papers, lowered his head and ate two more teeth of watermelon, hiccupped, turned around and ran again, returned to the palace, and handed over the method.

"In a hurry. Ah! I forgot to give him the map of the mine, Zhu Taiyi, please give it to me. No wax is needed, and others won't be able to dig it if they get it."

The head of the village remembered that there were important things to do, and turned to look at Zhu Taiyi and the other four who had just sat down to eat Zhu Xi's leftover watermelon.

"Hmm! Mmmm!" Mrs. Zhu responded, quickly wiped away a tooth of watermelon, wiped her mouth, took the letter and ran away.
