Little Life on An American Ranch Chapter 236

  Chapter 236 Greenhouse

  Jian Heng woke up, made some food by himself and finished eating, then stood under the porch shelf at the door, looked at the gray sky, and sighed involuntarily.

When I first woke up, the snow was much lighter. Who knew that when Jian Heng went out, the snow suddenly became heavier, and the temperature outside the house was not bad enough. When I opened the door, a gust of cold wind hit my face. Immediately, the whole person suddenly became 'refreshed'.

  With such heavy snow, everything wants to be at home in the most comfortable way, not to mention people. But as a rancher, there is no such treatment.

  Jian Heng blew a whistle, trying to call Heidou to his side, but who knew that Ren Jianheng broke his throat and Heidou could even see a shadow hair.

  So Jian Heng had no choice but to tighten his clothes, put his hands together, and walked towards the sports area with his head shrunk and braved the snow.

After nearly two days of snowfall, if there is no external force, the snow on the ground will go directly to the knees and almost to the thighs. Even if the people at the ranch used a self-made snow plow to shovel out the adjacent road this morning, but After half a day of snowfall, the snow still covered the bare feet.

   Creak! creak!

   Every time he stepped on the snow, Jian Heng could clearly hear the sound from the snow in his ears. Now Jian Heng is taking this road in a down-to-earth way, 'one step at a time' to the sports area, and it usually takes ten minutes less, but now it takes Jian Heng almost twice as long to get there.

  Arrived at the door of the restaurant, he stomped the snow on his feet, shook his clothes, and patted the snowflakes on his body. Then Jian Heng opened the door of the restaurant and walked in.

   Suddenly from outside to indoor, the temperature jumped from ten degrees below zero to more than ten degrees above zero, good guy! This warmth suddenly seemed to scratch Jian Heng's heart.

   While taking off his coat, Jian Heng asked Zhao Wei who was peeling potatoes in the room, "Zhao Wei, where is he? Why are you alone?"

Originally, Jian Heng thought that in such a weather, there must be people gathering here to chat and fart. Who knew that when he came in, he found that Zhao Wei was the only one sitting in the room peeling potatoes, sticking his head through the glass window to the kitchen. Looking inside, Zhao Changshan and Feng Sanzhu were not found, so Jian Heng asked curiously.

Zhao Wei saw someone coming in and saw that it was his own boss, so he opened his mouth and said, "Boss, they are all busy. My uncle and Uncle Feng are busy working in the warm house behind. Toby is bringing Brother Jialiang and Xiaodong Inspecting the ranch, the fence of the ranch has been broken several times by wild animals these days! They have brought materials and are ready to repair it.”

   "What kind of vegetable garden are you making at this time!" Jian Heng heard that Zhao Changshan and Feng Sanzhu were busy in the vegetable field in this weather, so he stopped taking off his coat, and put his coat on again after being stunned for a while.

   "Boss, what are you doing here?" Zhao Wei asked immediately after seeing Jian Heng put on his clothes, put on his hat and walked towards the back door.

  Jian Heng replied: "I'll go to the greenhouse to have a look!"

   After speaking, Jian Heng stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. The moment he opened the door, he enjoyed the feeling of ice and fire again. The guy felt that his head was closed.

When I walked to the vegetable garden, I saw that the garden had changed. Although most of it was covered by heavy snow, a wooden glass greenhouse with a width of five or six meters and a length of about twenty meters appeared in front of Jian Hengshi. .

   Walked quickly to the door of the greenhouse, stretched out his hand and pulled the door open, and saw Feng Sanzhu and Zhao Changshan playing inside and busy tying tomatoes.

Although the small fruits on the tomato branches are green, there are many. If they are allowed to grow, the stems will definitely be pressed to the ground. How can this work? So before the tomatoes grow red, You have to tie up the branches with a wooden frame, and pick some small ones along the way, so that even if the tomatoes grow up and mature in the future, the branches of the tomatoes will not be pressed to the ground by the fruits.

  Feng Sanzhu was the closest to the door. When he saw someone entering the house, he found that it was his boss who came, so he smiled and greeted first: "Boss, are you awake?"

   "Wake up!" Jian Heng walked along the edge of the field and inspected his greenhouse with a smile.

  Now the greenhouse is less than one-fifth of the original plan. In this little space, spinach, tomatoes, leeks, shallots, and peppers have been planted.

  Of course, the place is small now, and the main crops in the greenhouse are mainly seasoned vegetables, such as peppers, shallots, and garlic. The largest remaining crops are tomatoes and leeks.

  Zhao Changshan, who was concentrating on his work, didn't know that Jian Heng was coming. When Jian Heng came to his side, he stretched out his hand and pushed Jian Heng's leg to let him go away.

   "What are you doing? What do you mean by tying up the leeks with grass stems and covering them with a cover?" Jian Heng squatted down in confusion when he saw what Zhao Changshan was doing now.

Hearing Jian Heng's voice, Zhao Changshan came back to his senses. Hearing this was the question, he smiled and picked up the upper mouth about 15 centimeters wide, the lower mouth about 25 centimeters wide, and about 15 centimeters high. Opening a wooden tube for a square of forty centimeters began to explain.

   "Get ready to make chives!" Zhao Changshan said.

  Jian Heng heard about growing chives, so he stretched out his hand to caress the small chives in his hand: "So that's how chives are grown!"

   "Look, chives and chives, that is, leeks that don't see the sun and turn yellow without being green! When this piece is ready, I'm going to cut a stubble and make dumplings for everyone!" Zhao Changshan said.

   "So many people, all of them are big-bellied men, are you not afraid of trouble?" Jian Heng asked with a smile.

  Hearing Zhao Changshan say chive and yellow dumplings, Jian Heng's saliva almost drools.

"I'm afraid, but there are always a few big pot dishes. I don't think there is any creativity in eating them! If this continues, people will be lazy." Zhao Changshan covered the wooden tube in his hand with a piece of wood about ten centimeters high. On the small leeks.

   After finishing a handful of leeks beside him, Zhao Changshan stretched out his hand to pinch a piece of leeks and motioned to Jian Heng: "Get one and try it yourself!"

  Hearing what Zhao Changshan said, Jian Heng imitated a piece of leek and put it in his mouth. Before he chewed it, the smell of leek hit Jian Heng's taste buds.

"Bah! Bah!" Jian Heng couldn't bear the taste of raw leeks, chewed a few mouthfuls and then spit it out on the ground: "Isn't it just the smell of leeks! You don't think I'm the kind who can't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat." people?"

  Zhao Changshan said with a smile: "I don't mean that, I mean let you taste it, the young leeks in our greenhouse are not much different from the current season's leeks, the taste is just and full!"

  As soon as Zhao Changshan was talking about this matter, Jian Heng couldn't help curling his lips, thinking: I know this matter better than you now! "

One of the two books sent by Mr. Yao is about how to grow vegetables. It explains in detail how the water in the secret space is used. After diluting and watering this field, the leeks produced will naturally be different from other greenhouses.

   It was just messing around in the past, but now that there is a serious formula, it will naturally be made differently.

  Now that the book is in hand, it saves a lot of time for experimentation. Jian Heng immediately plans to improve the current water formula, so that the vegetables in his own greenhouse will not only grow faster, but also grow well.

   "By the way, why did you just pretend to be this? Ceresto, this guy won't be lazy, right?" Jian Heng is a little dissatisfied with such a small greenhouse now.

Zhao Changshan said with a smile: "It's really not that he is lazy, it only stopped for more than two days between the two snowfalls. Fortunately, these things are all assembled. If there is no such a big one, it is still simple. Over there, over there, it was simply fixed, if I hadn't insisted, this guy Ceresto wouldn't have let me come in to watch the dishes…”

  Hearing Jian Heng mention this, Zhao Changshan immediately talked to Jian Heng about the stubborn old Moseresto.

   "And asked you to sign an exemption agreement?" Jian Heng couldn't help being amused when he heard that Ceresto actually asked Zhao Changshan to sign an exemption agreement in order to prevent Zhao Changshan from getting injured.

From the standpoint of Ceresto, this exemption agreement is definitely necessary, because this thing is not completely completed, although there is no major problem in theory now, but once a problem occurs, there is no disclaimer, then Ceres Stowe is in trouble. If the quality of the project is claimed, Celesto will be able to return to the pre-liberation overnight.

   "When will the rest be finished?" Jian Heng asked again.

Zhao Changshan thought about it for a while: "Wait for about a week or so after the snow stops. They are all assembled parts. It's a little troublesome to put them together, and the final finishing is a bit troublesome. Ceresto also specially made some reinforcements, saying that they are anti-Montana. The wind and snow under normal conditions must be no problem."

   "Give up all the dishes outside?"

  After hearing Zhao Changshan finish speaking, Jian Heng remembered the vegetables he had planted in Jian Heng's plastic film outside, thinking that the vegetables inside would not be able to keep with such heavy snow.

Who knew that Zhao Changshan would actually say when he heard this, "I didn't give up. The side dishes are pretty good. If there is a big snow, there are benefits to the big snow. As the old saying goes, in winter, you can sleep with a steamed bun on your pillow. The temperature was not bad, only those vegetables that were not particularly cold-resistant died, and many survived.”

   "Oh?!" Jian Heng reached out and picked up the wooden cover next to him, and put the leeks in the same way as Zhao Changshan.

   There weren't too many leeks in a small ridge, and with Jian Heng's help, the work was soon completed, so the two of them went out of the greenhouse again and looked at the vegetable field buried in snow.

   Watching Zhao Changshan remove a piece of snow, and then pick up a corner of the plastic shed, Jian Heng looked inside, and sure enough, although some small green vegetables were less green, they were still juicy.

   "The taste here is very bad, but it can still solve the problem of whether it is available or not. If the snow keeps falling like this, it will be a big problem for us to eat here," Zhao Changshan said.
