The greenhouse was built very quickly. A three-acre vegetable garden was densely packed with hundreds of people participating in the construction. A large number of bamboo and wood were transported continuously. After a few days, it rose up to the ground. It was made of thick wood, made of wooden boards, and used bamboo as support. The straw curtains made of millet and straw quickly surrounded the surroundings of the greenhouse. One day later, the glass factory transported a large number of two-foot square flat glass. The craftsmen carefully installed the glass two feet apart and fixed it with bamboo strips. The rest of the area was still covered with straw curtains. Three days later, a huge greenhouse was announced to be completed.

This greenhouse is expensive, and glass alone costs more than 500 yuan, and the investment is no less than 100,000 yuan.

After the greenhouse was completed, all the people involved in the construction went into the spacious and bright greenhouse to visit. They were amazed by Chen Xu's incredible big move, and they were all confused. They didn't know what the Marquis wanted to use such expensive glass to make a greenhouse to cover the vegetable field.

This matter was soon spread by the servants of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion and the craftsmen involved in the construction. Every day, a large number of people ran from Xianyang to Qinghe Villa to watch this strange building. It was well-known in Xianyang in just a few days. When Chen Xu went to court, not only civil and military officials were curiously inquired, but even the emperor asked a few questions.

When they learned that Chen Xu was preparing to plant fruits and vegetables that could only be eaten in spring and summer in the glass greenhouse, everyone expressed serious suspicion, and the emperor only smiled and began to deal with government affairs.

Chen Xu naturally didn't bother to explain this matter.

After the greenhouse was completed, Chen Xu went into the greenhouse every day after the court was dispersed, guiding the servants at the mansion and several students and teachers from the Agricultural College to start planting some fruits and vegetable seedlings that can only be sown in spring and summer, and even specially transplanted some orchids, roses and other flowers and plants.

"Husband, do you think these flowers, plants and vegetables can really bloom and bear fruit in the greenhouse?" Shui Qingrou, who was curious and helped in the greenhouse, was very confused.

"Of course, this greenhouse isolates the cold air outside, can maintain temperature and humidity, and can also transmit light to ensure the sunshine needed by the crops. You see, in just a few days, the color of these fruits and vegetables has become a little greener. After a month or two, these fruits and vegetables will bloom and bear fruit. Maybe we can eat fresh, crispy and tender Western fruits and vegetables in the cold winter!" Chen Xu said with a smile while digging the soil.

"Dad, I want to eat melons!" Chen Xi, who was over two years old, ran around in the greenhouse excitedly, with her little face flushed.

"Okay, Dad must let the baby eat delicious melons in winter!" Chen Xu lit her little face with his mud-filled fingers, and instantly there was a black fingerprint on her white forehead.

"Xi'er, come to my mother!" Ying Shiman quickly hugged Chen Xi in her arms and carefully wiped off the mud on her forehead.

"How can a child be so spoiled and let her run on the ground? The greenhouse is warm and there will be no problem!"

"I'm afraid that Xi'er will mess up the seedlings that my husband planted!"

"You are so spoiled by Xi'er. When I was a child, I was crawling in the mud ditch!" Chen Xu shook his head helplessly.

"How can this be compared? Xi'er is still young..." Ying Shiman blushed and looked down at Chen Xu.

"Aunt, I dug a pot of lilies..." The straw curtain in the greenhouse was lifted up, and Yu Ji ran in excitedly with a flower pot.

"Come on, put it next to the orchid!" Shui Qingrou waved her hand quickly, fearing that the girl who had developed a habit of being popular with Xing'er would break the planted seedlings.

"Brother, I dug a peony!" Xing'er also ran in behind Yu Ji's butt, holding a lump of grass roots in her hand.

"Hey, this is a good thing!" Chen Xu took it over and looked at it for a few times, then praised Xing'er for a few words, and then asked her to dig a hole and plant it near a bush of roses.

Soon Meng Wan also came in with a flowerpot, carrying a piece of ginger inside.

Because I heard that fruits, vegetables and flowers and plants that bloom and bear fruit in spring and summer can be planted in greenhouses, everyone in the Hou Mansion was very interested, especially Meng Wan and Xing'er and Yu Ji. They would find all kinds of flowers, stems and seeds to plant in the greenhouse almost every day. Chen Xu had to empty the surroundings of the greenhouse for them to play and plant. Now, a few days have passed, and there are more than ten kinds of flowers and plants planted. Of course, Chen Xu himself is also looking forward to seeing these beautiful flowers and plants when the snow is heavy in the cold winter.

September passed by in a blink of an eye. After October, the temperature began to drop quickly. The mountains and fields were already yellow. When you wake up early, you can see the frost all over the ground.

Although the weather outside is getting colder day by day, the greenhouse is as warm as spring, so the greenhouse has become the most lively place in the entire courtyard. Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman and a group of maids stay in it almost every day to plant flowers and plants to help with vegetables and melon seedlings. Even a group of princesses would come to watch the fun and help when they are free. The laughter and laughter could be heard almost all day in the greenhouse.

When Chen Xu was busy working in court to handle government affairs, they had already set up melon racks for melon seedlings. In just over ten days, eggplant and cucumbers grew more than one foot high. The leaves were green and green, and the vines of watermelon and cantaloupe also crawled into a large green area, which swept away the yellowing and wilting after autumn.

The Qin Dynasty was in the new year, October entered the New Year. After a grand sacrifice, the Qin Dynasty ushered in the beginning of the 34th year of the First Emperor.

After the New Year's Festival, all Cuju Commercial Plaza was completed, and all the three-story commercial buildings surrounding Cuju Field were invested. A large number of shops were renovated and ready to officially open for business.

On October 15th, the entire Cuju Commercial Plaza was decorated with lights and hundreds of red lanterns hung throughout the building, and colorful flags filled the square. Amid the noise of gongs and drums and firecrackers, several lion dance teams churned and jumped on the wide square. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the square to watch this lively scene like a festival ceremony. In addition to ordinary people, many officials and princes and princesses took their families to ride cars and horses to watch the grand opening ceremony. Even the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace were watching the fun, and they all wanted to enter this comprehensive mall that was said to make people linger in it.

Two rows of huge flower pots are placed on both sides of the newly opened Qinghe Mall. The ancient-shaped roots of pine and cypress trees are planted in the flower pots, and some small red lanterns are hung on them, which looks extremely festive.

There are two huge wooden pillars at the door, with a couplet engraved on it: Business is prosperous and wealth is prosperous across the world.

Each character has a douda style, half seal and half clerical style, filled with gold and powder, which looks both majestic and grand and has a strong smell of secular merchants.

"Congratulations to the Marquis for opening a new shop!"

"Haha, we are happy together, thank you for coming and supporting us!"

Chen Xu stood under a huge plaque two feet wide and more than five feet wide. He wore a jade crown and a brand new brocade robe. He smiled and kept bowing to the civil and military officials and wealthy merchants who came to congratulate him.

On the steps behind Chen Xu, there were two rows of young and beautiful women in colorful skirts standing on both sides, wearing colorful ribbons and a kind smile to the people who walked into the mall. Each of them gave a voucher worth 500 yuan. This voucher can also be used with VIP cards, which is a real discount and is not a fraud at all. Even if the customer is thick-skinned enough, he can directly use this voucher to buy goods worth less than 500 yuan, which is completely free.

However, the world-famous Zuo Xiang and Qinghe Hou Shang Industry opened, and no one could get it in for nothing. Those who came to support the show would definitely spend more or less money.

Qinghe Shopping Mall is the largest shop in the entire commercial building, with a total of three floors and a total area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters.

The first floor mainly sells porcelain, glass, tea, sugar and wine, fruit vinegar, gold, silver and jade, mirror mahjong, etc., all of which are made of precious wood. The gold, silver and jade display cabinets are inlaid with glass. Although in Chen Xu's opinion, these display cabinet display racks are completely incomparable to the brightly lit shopping malls in later generations. The crude force is like the township supply and marketing cooperatives in later generations in the 1960s and 1970s, but in the eyes of the people of the Qin Dynasty, these are already so luxurious that they are extremely luxurious. Those who see them for the first time will feel that they are completely rural.

The second floor mainly deals in clothes, shoes and hats. In addition to the original clothing variety of Qinghe Store, Meng Wan and Ying Shiman gathered a group of students from the Women's College to move the Nishang clothes house, occupying one-third of the entire second floor. Therefore, Chen Xu specially designated this area as a men's stoppage area, and only women can enter. There is a special security guard at the door, and there is also a fitting room inside.

In order to ensure the customer's try-on effect, Chen Xu also asked the glass factory to customize several huge glass mirrors.

Because there is no large area of ​​flat glass manufacturing process and silver plating process, the uneven thickness of the glass and tin foil as the reflective layer are not suitable, which makes the figure look a little distorted and deformed, but this huge and clear mirror makes everyone who sees it for the first time excited to speak.
Chapter completed!
