391. Build a greenhouse (thanks to friends for their support)
Newfoundland suffered a snow disaster this year. There was another layer of snow on the eve of New Year's Day. Fortunately, the snow was not heavy and stopped at 2 a.m. So Qin Shiou got up the next day and saw that there was not much snow in the yard. △¢
The sea around the island is full of warm currents, and the Daqin Fishery has geothermal hot springs. In this way, the snow melts and the frozen ground becomes softer.
On the first day of the New Year, Qin Shiou went to the fishing ground to see the vegetable fields. Hey, the vegetable fields are not stiff, you can plant vegetable seedlings and build greenhouses.
This discovery made him very happy. After Shaq and his group got up with their drunken heads, he gathered the people to prepare for planting greenhouses.
Shaq drove to the town and borrowed a plowing machine and quickly turned over the land of the vegetable fields twice. After all, it was winter, and many frozen soils were together and it was difficult to clean up.
The sea monster shook his head and said, "Boss, although I really want to eat fresh vegetables from our fishing grounds, I have to admit that this is not a good time to grow vegetables."
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Don't worry, man, you have met my parents and know their identities. They are all expert vegetable growers. I have learned several skills from them. It is definitely no problem to grow vegetables now."
Since that's the case, there's nothing to say about the sea monster. Shrugg and start working. Speaking of the vegetables produced in the vegetable fields before, the taste is really great.
On New Year's Day holiday, coupled with heavy snow, Grant Elementary School recently had a small winter holiday, and Shirley and the others have been resting at home.
Winnie took them to pack up some of the last vegetables in the field, mainly carrots and cabbage.
Gordon and Michelle called "pull the radish" to pick out the remaining radish in the field, and followed Winnie to the ice curry.
After all, it is a variety transformed by the Sea God Energy. The green radish produced in the vegetable field is not spicy. It has a faint sweetness. Qin Shiou can only explain to the outside world that it is a fruit radish. So Winnie and the others really think it is a fruit to eat it, and Xiong Dahe pineapple especially likes it.
Radishes can radiate the gastrointestinal qi. Bear and pineapple fart after eating it. Regardless of the occasion, they feel that this is very interesting.
After packing up, a greenhouse will be set up.
Auerbach had a strange fanaticism about farming. He squatted on the ground and asked, "Qin, what type of greenhouse should we plant this time? Steel pipe greenhouse or bamboo and wood round arch greenhouse?"
Greenhouses in Canada are very particular about growing vegetables, and Newfoundland is relatively less planted. For example, Winnie’s hometown of grasslands, which are large greenhouse growers. Many farmers have built greenhouses to grow vegetables.
Qin Shiou didn't need to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, just use a greenhouse. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it's more interesting to clean up the plastic greenhouse.
Conventionally speaking, there are two types of plastic greenhouses in Canada because of different brackets, namely steel pipe greenhouses and bamboo and wood round arch greenhouses. The former is supported by galvanized thin-walled steel pipes, while the latter is bamboo strips and wooden sticks.
Qin Shiou advocated pure nature, so he waved his hand and said he wanted to use bamboo and wood round arch greenhouse. Auerbach went to call Bill.
The marine aquatic products companies in Newfoundland are agricultural companies after all, but they are mainly marine aquatic products, and there are also farm-related seeds and equipment.
Bill soon brought a batch of greenhouse equipment, and he led the team himself. After coming to the fishing ground, he said enthusiastically: "Hi, Qin, why are you interested in doing this? I have seen a rich man grow vegetables by himself. But I have never seen a rich man like you plant greenhouses, which is too difficult. Isn't it?"
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "You made two mistakes, man. One is that I am not a rich man; the other is that planting greenhouses is not very difficult, it is much easier than selling them."
Bill shook his head and said, "No, I'd better be my salesman. As long as I can meet a big customer like you every year, I won't have any vegetables to eat, haha."
Following Qin Shiou, Bill did make a lot of money. For example, he earned a commission of less than 100,000 when he bought lobster seedlings and sea cucumber seedlings some time ago.
The workers brought by Bill took off the bamboo stick, Qin Shiou signed a check for him, and the transaction was successful.
The steel pipe greenhouse has a long lifespan, reaching 15 years, but the bamboo strips and sticks sent by Bill to Qin Shiou were all roasted with tung oil, and the lifespan was much longer than that of ordinary wood and bamboo sheds, reaching about ten years.
Although these brackets are just wood and bamboo, the price is more expensive than thin-walled steel pipes. The greenhouse that Bill chose for Qin Shiou was the most expensive because he knew Qin Shiou's consumption philosophy, and only bought the best, not the most affordable one.
These brackets are mainly made of bamboo and small logs, with heights of about 2 meters and widths of 4 to 5 meters, and are equipped with drawings. Bill is very proficient in his business, and it is not unreasonable that he can make a lot of money.
Because of the first lobster cooperation, Qin Shiou let him go, Bill has always been grateful to Qin Shiou. Today he took the initiative to stay and guide the group to build a greenhouse, so that the project will be much faster.
Qin Shiou changed the place and reclaimed two greenhouses. The width of each vegetable field was 6 meters, the length was 200 meters, and the planting area was terrifyingly 1,000 square meters.
Indeed, for an amateur person like him, these two greenhouses are too big. But there is no way. These greenhouses are all based on large specifications. If the length is too short, the plastic tarpaulin cannot be expanded at all, and some supporting equipment cannot be installed.
Soon, rows of brackets were erected, and bamboo pieces were connected to it, like the skeleton of a tent in a small military camp.
"So, what we have to do now is to cover it with plastic film. What material film are you bringing? Polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride?" Qin Shiou asked, rubbing his hands.
Bill directed Nelson and Birdra to open the plastic film and laughed: "Man, you underestimate me like this. How could you use such an ordinary film in a greenhouse worth 150,000? What I bring you is a multi-functional longevity film."
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "So powerful? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Bill explained: "I'm not an exaggeration. This is really the best plastic film. It is made by adding a proper amount of anti-aging materials and surfactants during the polyethylene blow molding process. Although it is thinner and transparent, it is particularly strong and has a service life of twice as long as the ordinary film. The night shed temperature is 1 to 2c higher than that of traditional plastic films."
Because the sea breeze is flying, the plastic film is more complicated. Qin Shiou and others are all working together, laying each bracket, and it took nearly an hour to cover the two films on the bamboo skeleton.
This plastic film is a matching device, and polyethylene high foaming soft film is also connected to the outside.
This is a white, bubble-based plastic soft film, 1 meter wide and 0.4-0.5 cm thick. It can be hung on plastic film piece by piece like tank armor. It also has a similar function to tank armor, protecting the plastic film from damage, and also maintaining heat.
It took a full day, and with the efforts of machines and so many people, the two greenhouses were finally built before the sun sets.
Finally, Bill and Qin Shiou hung the curtain door together and closed the positions on both sides of the plastic film, so that the greenhouse was roughly built.
Looking at these two mighty greenhouses as powerful as a military camp, Qin Shiou was satisfied and smiled and said, "On the first day of the New Year, we did something amazing. It's a good sign!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
