Chapter 075 Growing vegetables and making adobe bricks
Gu Mingyuan didn't expect Tang Wanwan to say thank you to him. He was flattered and said quickly: "Oh, please don't tell me this. We are friends, and friends should help each other."
After saying this, Tang Wanwan felt a little embarrassed. She was so cruel to others before. "Do your arms still hurt? I can just treat you to beef noodles another day."
Gu Mingyuan was sitting peacefully, but when he heard the second half of Tang Wanwan's words, he almost jumped off his horse. It's time for me to go, and this girl still remembers the bet.
But speaking of it, he lost. After thinking about it, he felt that Tang Wanwan must really want to eat beef noodles, so he patted his chest and said, "Young Master, I am in good health. I will go back and have a rest. I am alive and kicking again. Beef Noodles."
Just wait, I will treat you to something to eat."
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
After Tang Xiaorou went back, she would inevitably cry again and again when meeting her family. Tang Wanwan was worried about Xiaorou, so she checked her body to see if she had been beaten. She felt relieved when she didn't see any injuries.
After asking some details about her life, she felt relieved after making sure everything was fine.
The fact that I was able to escape unscathed in Jinyuan this time was really thanks to Gu Yunzhi. Although I don't know what method he used to treat the owner of Jinyuan, she owed this favor.
You have to get what he wants quickly.
The family had a reunion dinner and everything finally calmed down.
After dinner, Tang Wanwan insisted on giving her brother a medicated bath and a massage. Tang Wei was embarrassed, but Mrs. Chen also insisted on letting him do it, hoping to get better soon, and finally he agreed.
Tang Wanwan promised to give Gu Yunzhi good poppy seedlings within two weeks. They must use the greenhouse effect, which means growing vegetables in a greenhouse.
Early the next morning, the family got busy under the command of Tang Wanwan.
"Ah Wan, are we going to plant vegetables? Don't we have to scatter seeds to grow vegetables at this time?" After the autumnal equinox, we can only plant the last crop of vegetables. At this time, we must pay attention to keeping the vegetables warm.
Because after the autumn wind, there will be cold dew soon. There is slightly cool dew in the morning and evening, which can help the growth of seedlings. But the time should not be too long, because frost will come soon. You cannot plant vegetables when frost comes, and you will freeze to death if you plant them.
.
"Mom, I know, but I want the vegetables to grow quickly. You are right to listen to my method."
Tang Wanwan woke up early in the morning and chopped a lot of bamboo. She split the bamboos one by one and split them into long strips. Now they inserted the bamboo strips into the small piece of vegetables she had sorted out.
An arch is formed on both sides of the floor cage. In fact, this is also called an arch tube, but it is not a steel frame but is made of bamboo, which is relatively simple.
After it was done, a layer of umbrella cloth was spread on it. This umbrella cloth was collected from other people's broken umbrellas in the village. When the person saw that it was Tang Wanwan, he said he didn't want the money. Anyway, he didn't want it, so he gave it to them directly. Then he gave it to them.
Mrs. Chen used thread to sew a whole piece in the direction of growth, just enough to cover the entire vegetable patch.
Umbrella cloth can prevent rain and is not easy to break. It also has good sealing properties, so it can also be used as a cover for Dapeng.
During the day, try to open up the ventilation so that the seeds inside can fully absorb the sunlight. At night, Tang Wanwan will put an oil lamp inside.
Madam Chen felt distressed when she saw her daughter lighting the dishes with oil lamps. Tang Wanwan said to her, "Mom, I will lend you two oil lamps and I will return you more oil later."
Mrs. Chen thought her daughter was joking, so she said: "Use it if you want, I'm afraid you will use it blindly. Our oil lamp is only used for a while when eating at night. But you are using it for these dishes now. They are not used in the past."
You have done so many good things in your life." She did her sewing at night by moonlight, but Tang Wanwan didn't know about it.
Tang Wanwan smiled. She is a pretty cute girl sometimes.
Then if she knew how to listen to music to the pigs and massage the cows while raising pigs, she wouldn't know what to do.
Tang Xiaorou and Tang Xiaoyi were also very busy, asking her, the eldest sister, what was the reason for cooking this way. Tang Wanwan carefully explained to them that because it was not cold enough outside, they had to create a warmer place for these dishes.
, the temperature is suitable for their growth, so that the seeds think spring is coming and can grow vigorously."
While Tang Wanwan was planting vegetables, she taught them to sing, Where is the Spring? Suddenly, a warm scene appeared in this small courtyard that had not been seen in a long time.
Tang Wei, who was in the room, heard tears flashing from the corners of his eyes.
After the vegetables were planted, Tang Wanwan directed them to carry soil home. She made a simple cart and put the soil in the cart. Tang Xiaoyi and Tang Xiaorou could push the cart.
Mrs. Chen was in the yard, holding a shovel and mud.
"Awan, are we making adobe bricks for the courtyard wall?"
"Yes, mother-in-law will know later. After it is finished, these courtyard walls will be no worse than those made of stone."
Soil bricks are actually made from the most primitive mud. Use a square mold to fill it with mud, and the two big suns can dry the lumps.
Then neatly build the courtyard wall outside the yard. You can make it as high as you want. In order to prevent the courtyard wall from getting wet from the rain, use a rainproof cloth or several thick layers of straw on top, and use a large blanket on the top.
If pressed with stones, it can generally be used for one or two years.
If you are worried about someone digging into the courtyard wall at night, you can secretly place sharp objects such as sharp tiles or sharp stones and bamboo sticks on the courtyard wall to prevent thieves from climbing over the wall.
Tang Wanwan does not need to use it for so long. Once the economic crisis at home is over, she plans to build an earthen kiln and bake the bricks herself. Yellow bricks are made from yellow mud. Through experience, later generations have found a very strong adhesive yellow brick.
Clay. Mud blocks made from yellow clay have high viscosity, and the yellow bricks produced are relatively strong. The black bricks made from black mud are blue bricks. Green bricks are relatively fragile and not particularly strong.
When building houses, there were no yellow bricks to look happy. So later generations slowly abandoned the use of blue bricks and used yellow bricks instead.
She doesn't need to tell her family this, because even if she does, they won't understand.
The courtyard walls on both sides required nearly a hundred yuan, and probably several hundred kilograms of soil. They actually finished it in one morning. Seeing the half-finished products in the yard, Xiao Rou and Xiao Yi happily hugged each other and jumped.
"This one with the shape of a rabbit on it was drawn by me. The eldest sister said that after they dry, the little rabbit will live in it forever and will not fall off." Tang Xiaorou learned how to make molds from Tang Wanwan, and she taught Xiaorou how to draw a rabbit.
Up there, she was so happy.
"My tiger is here too. My tiger can protect your rabbit."
