Chapter 9 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse
When it got dark, Lin Chen and his father finally drove the ox cart home. The ox cart was loaded with a load of things.
There are thick plastic films, thin steel wires, various vegetable seeds, bags of herbs, and some chemical fertilizers. Anyway, there are all kinds of things in the cart.
When they arrived home, Mother Lin had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them with some worry. Seeing that the father and son had arrived home safely, the worry on Mother Lin's face disappeared and she began to help the father and son wash up and prepare for dinner.
The dinner was very rich, including stewed chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of spicy and sour crispy cucumbers pickled at home. The staple food was steamed rice. Lin Chen was also really hungry. He ate two bowls of rice and a small bowl of rice for dinner.
Lin and his mother were dumbfounded by his abnormal appetite for chicken.
This amount of food was the result of his conscious control. If he didn't control it, he would have eaten all the food on the table and it would be barely enough. Practicing the Nine Yang Magic Technique itself consumes a lot of money, so it is natural to eat more.
When they were in the county town during the day, the two of them didn't have a good meal at noon. They just ate a pancake. The main reason was that Lin Chen had to buy a lot of things and was in a hurry. Neither father nor son had enough to eat at noon. They just had some food to fill their stomachs.
So it’s normal to eat a lot for dinner.
"Is it possible to grow vegetables this winter? Will the vegetables grow?" During the meal, Father Lin had told Mother Lin all the things that happened during the day. Especially the matter of growing vegetables in the greenhouse. Mother Lin was worried that she would not be able to grow them, so
That's why you ask.
"Mom, don't worry, it's absolutely possible. I read these things from books. Many places have begun to promote the cultivation of greenhouse vegetables on a large scale, and the country strongly supports it. And the vegetables grown in winter,
The price will be higher." Lin Chen didn't want his mother to worry, so he used money to distract his mother.
The reason why my mother is worried is simply because she is afraid of losing money. You must know that a greenhouse, including labor, materials, seeds, fertilizers, etc., will cost nearly 10,000 yuan just for investment. It is normal for Mother Lin to worry about investing so much money.
The family has finally made some progress, but money can't be wasted like this.
"Just listen to your son. Besides, even if you really lose money, don't you still have dozens of pigs in the family? The life of the family will only get better and better in the future. The eldest brother will graduate soon, and he can also make money to supplement the family income.
"I don't know what you have to worry about." Father Lin is very open-minded. He is just such a son. He has been smart since he was a child. He can do whatever he wants. What should he be afraid of if he loses?
It’s to gain experience. Besides, the money itself was earned by him. It’s a pity. Anyway, the family property will be his in the future.
"Okay, father and son, let it be whatever you say. Don't blame others when the time comes." Father Lin said so, and Mother Lin no longer objected.
"Dad, let's start building the greenhouse tomorrow. Try to build the greenhouse within three days. After three days, you still have to go to the city to deliver game to others." Lin Chen continued.
"Okay, after dinner, I will go find your Uncle Sangen and ask him to bring people over to build a greenhouse tomorrow. But, son, how big a greenhouse are you planning to build?"
"I plan to build two plots first, one with an area of two acres, and two plots of land with an area of four acres. This year I will test the water first. I will plant one acre of land with the same vegetables. I will grow four types of vegetables in total, namely peppers, cucumbers, and cypress.
Beans and eggplants are grown because these four vegetables have large yields. For example, peppers can produce four to five thousand kilograms per acre of land. Cucumbers can produce fifteen or six thousand kilograms, and eggplants can produce one thousand kilograms.
More than 10,000 kilograms, and six to seven thousand kilograms of long beans..."
Lin Chen told what he had planned for a long time. This output is only the output under normal circumstances. Don't forget, there are 300 kilograms of special fertilizer in the system space. After using this fertilizer, this
The yield of several vegetables can easily more than double.
"If we build two greenhouses, more than 10,000 yuan may not be enough." After hearing this, Father Lin calculated in his mind and said.
"The cost of building a greenhouse for one acre is about 8,000, and for four acres of land, it is about 30,000. Don't worry if you don't have enough money. We will sell more hares in three days, and the money will be enough."
Lin Chen didn't make any big claims this time. He also learned about the Royal Kitchen Hotel in the county during the day. It is a hotel chain with ten stores in Guang S County alone, and even more stores in the city.
, a mere hundred pheasants and hares are not enough for one store. Next time he goes there, Lin Chen plans to haul two to three hundred hares. Pulling a three thousand kilogram cargo is easy for his own buffalo. After all,
Now the feed buffaloes eat are specially prepared by Lin Chen.
This kind of feed is very helpful in improving the physical quality of the buffalo. It can quickly increase the strength of the buffalo and make the buffalo stronger.
It sold for 12,000 yuan today. Four acres of land would cost 32,000 yuan, which means there is still a shortfall of 20,000 yuan. If the 20,000 yuan is calculated based on the hare meat weighing 12 pounds per pound, a hare weighing 10 pounds is only 2 dollars.
Just a hundred hares.
Are two hundred hares a lot? Not many. In the mountains behind Linjia Village, there are so many hares that they are almost overrun. If it weren’t for the difficulty of catching these hares and the dangers in the mountains, the villagers would have caught them long ago.
.
Father Lin also understood that no matter how his son caught the hare, he could sell it for as much money as possible before the villagers knew about it. Once everyone in the village knew about it, they would all go to the mountains to hunt it down.
Use a trap to catch hares. No matter how many hares there are, it will not be so easy to catch them.
No matter where you are, no one wants to miss the opportunity to make money.
"If that's the case, then don't rush to build the greenhouse now. It won't be too late to start after four days when we sell the rabbits again and make enough money." Father Lin thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I'll listen to you. But I plan to build the greenhouse on these four acres of land into a light steel structure. This will not only be easy to manage, but also strong and last longer."
Originally, Lin Chen planned to use bamboo as the bracket, but after careful calculation, a steel frame was more suitable. With a steel frame, it can be used once and for all, and there is no need to replace the bracket frequently.
Greenhouses can not only be planted in winter, but also vegetables can be sold in advance in spring. If you operate them well, you can earn back the cost of building a greenhouse in winter and spring.
"Your father, I don't understand this aspect, so you don't have to explain it to me. You can plan it yourself, and I will be responsible for finding someone to build it for you." Father Lin is very self-aware. He knows that he doesn't understand, so he doesn't express much opinions. Thirty thousand
A few dollars is not a small amount of money. Although he doesn't care on the surface, in fact he is nervous and worried about failure.
However, his son has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he often read the books of his sisters. In Father Lin's opinion, the greenhouse vegetable growing technology was probably learned by his son from books.
"Okay, Dad, you and Uncle Sangen will calculate how long it will take to complete the construction of the four-acre greenhouse. After all, it's almost November, and we will start selling it before the Chinese New Year at the end of December at the latest."
Vegetables, the time to build the greenhouse cannot be delayed too long."
Lin Chen didn't want to miss the great opportunity to make money during the Spring Festival. If the greenhouse could be built one day earlier, he would be able to start selling vegetables one day earlier, and he would also be able to make money one day earlier.
"Okay, I've just finished eating, so I'll go to your uncle Sangen's house to ask, and by the way, I'll also set a date for the start of construction. You've been running all day, so you can wash your feet and rest early." After that, Lin
My father put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, picked up the flashlight and went out.
"Dad, please go slower on the road, it's dark."
"Don't worry, it's okay. I have a flashlight, nothing will happen."
After the words fell, Father Lin's footsteps gradually faded away, and the sound of dogs barking began to be heard in the village.
...
Lin Chen, who was lying on the bed after washing, began to look at what he got from signing in at the county seat today, the encyclopedia of medicinal materials.
This was obtained by signing in when he bought herbal medicine at the county pharmacy. Now, Lin Chen has also concluded a rule. What he gets by signing in every day has a lot to do with where he is or what he does every day.
I got a complete collection of breeding techniques from the pig pen, and I wanted to grow vegetables. As a result, I got greenhouse vegetable cultivation techniques, as well as special fertilizers that accelerate plant growth and yield. I signed in to buy herbs at the county pharmacy and got this medicinal material book.
encyclopedia.
"I didn't sign in the magical secret book. Is it because I didn't practice martial arts or do anything related to martial arts practice when I signed in? If that's the case, try it when you practice martial arts tomorrow and see if that's the case." Lin Chen pondered in his mind.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. We will know after trying it tomorrow. Let's let the system instill the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials first."
As soon as his thoughts moved, the system began to instill. Soon, the system completed the infusion, and all the knowledge in the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials was firmly engraved in his mind.
This encyclopedia of medicinal materials is really all-encompassing. There are millions of medicinal materials recorded in it. Lin Chen just browsed through it briefly and found that he didn't recognize 99.99% of the medicinal materials.
I have never heard of it. However, after systematic indoctrination, he has mastered the knowledge of millions of medicinal materials in one fell swoop. Now it is no exaggeration to say that he is a master in this field.
To be honest, this encyclopedia on medicinal materials came at the right time, and it was of great help to Lin Chen. In the Encyclopedia of Breeding Technology, there are many kinds of feed formulas that need to add medicinal materials. The better the effect of the feed, the more
The more types of medicinal materials there are.
Why Lin Chen can only prepare the simplest kind of feed now is because he knows all the medicinal materials required for this kind of feed and has heard of them. He has never heard of the medicinal materials required for other types of feed.
He didn't know where to buy the medicinal materials. Even if he was asked to prepare them, he wouldn't be able to prepare them. Just knowing these medicinal materials made him rack his brains.
But now this problem no longer exists. In other words, as long as Lin Chen can find the required medicinal materials, he can prepare any feed formula in the breeding encyclopedia. This is equivalent to opening a plug-in for Lin Chen.
.
If the best feed can be prepared, it will undoubtedly be of great help to him in future breeding. Think about it, other people's pigs take half a year to be slaughtered, but his pigs only need three months, which is equivalent to one year.
He can put pigs to slaughter four times a year, and the difference is huge.
This is equivalent to him making several times more money than others in a year.
