Chapter 175 - 175 The Combination of Technology and Experience
175 The Combination of Technology and Experience
The greenhouse was quickly built.
Whether it was during the construction or when it was completed, there were people who came to watch out of curiosity.
Was this a glass shed?
Seeing the transparent glass, the villagers were a little surprised.
“I heard that building glass is very expensive.”
“Yes, it’s expensive. It’s 30 dollars a square meter. That plastic film is only a few dollars. The price difference is several times.”
“Isn’t Shi Lichun experimenting with planting? Why didn’t he build a plastic film first? If the greenhouse rice planting fails, they won’t lose too much.”
“I heard from Shi Lichun that they spent more than 10,000 dollars to build this shed. Tsk tsk, how much money is there to burn?”
“With these five plots of land, we can probably earn tens of thousands of dollars a year by planting vegetables or other things. Planting rice for a few years won’t enable them to recoup the cost.”
“They’re rich. 10,000 dollars is just a small matter. People like us who don’t have money don’t have to worry unduly on their behalf.”
“That’s true. The three brothers built such beautiful new houses and even bought cars. I heard that their family’s savings are in six figures.”
“It’s more than that. I heard that the three brothers even bought a house in the county with hard cash. They just didn’t want to live there, so they rented the house out. The rental income is close to 2,000 a month.”
“What do you think their family is thinking? They’re not living in a house in the county city and are still living in the countryside.”
“They have a house in the county city, but they won’t be able to earn much money in the county city. They might as well earn money at home. Their family earns hundreds of thousands a year. Those who work outside now want to buy a house in the county city when they have a little money, but they can’t stay there.”
“Sigh, why do you think their family’s luck is so good? Their sister married a rich man. As for themselves, not only are they diligent, but they also grow better crops than others, from watermelons to oranges. Not to mention rice, they can harvest a little more than us in an acre of land.”
“Perhaps their family is blessed by the heavens. Otherwise, in terms of diligence, which villager isn’t diligent? Don’t they all work in the fields at dawn and only go home when the sun sets? The Shi brothers don’t have any more hands or legs than us.”
The theme was getting more and more warped.
Gu Qingming was also happy to hear the villagers’ comments about her uncles.
Her uncles did not muddle through when it came to farming.
They would follow scientific methods and add on their planting experience, so the crops they planted were better than others.
After all, their family had had the most university students in the entire Stoneback Village.
Although her three uncles did not go to university, they were still high school graduates.
In a situation where studying was relatively extravagant, having three high school students was already quite impressive. Moreover, their family had a university student – their biological sister, Shi Yashu.
Later on, the five sons of the three uncles graduated from high school and two were university students.
Yes, there were two generations of children and grandchildren. They all attained educational levels of above high school and three were university students.
In ancient times, it could be said to be a scholarly family.
They knew very well that knowledge could change one’s fate. They were born in the countryside and have been engaged in all kinds of farm work since they were young.
Naturally, it was a combination of knowledge and experience.
However, in the past two years, only one or two of the villagers had taken the university entrance examination. The others were generally less educated.
They were just planting it according to their past experience.
“Aiya, according to past experience, do you think we should also have a greenhouse rice? Perhaps we can really earn some money.”
“Come on. It’s just a few plots of land. No matter how good the price is, it can’t be sold for much. The price of rice grains isn’t high, to begin with.”
“If we want to plant them, we might as well plant greenhouse vegetables. At least the price of greenhouse vegetables can fluctuate at will. If we sell them well, we can earn a lot.”
“Sigh, that’s easy to say. How much does it cost to build a greenhouse? What if we don’t earn it back? Wouldn’t we lose money?”
“We’ll probably just take a look at the greenhouse rice. We’ll know when we harvest the late rice in the autumn.”
However, he was thinking to himself that following Shi Lichun might be the right choice.
Their family members were all cultured people. Moreover, every time they planted something, it would sell well.
Gu Qingming quickly received the book from Gao Wenwen.
There were more than 10 books on “How to Plant Greenhouse Rice”, “Technical Guidelines for Greenhouse Rice” and “Prevention and Control of the Greenhouse Rice Insect Disaster”.
Gu Qingming was speechless.
However, Gu Qingming quickly studied them seriously.
The uncles and brothers at home seemed to be interested in these books and picked them up to read.
Eldest Uncle looked at these books and smiled. “I didn’t expect there to really be greenhouse rice!”
Gu Qingming was speechless. Did they think she was bluffing them?
Eldest Uncle continued, “I do know about using greenhouse technology to raise seedlings. I’ve seen it on television.”
“Mingming, I’ll learn from you in the future!”
Gu Qingming was speechless. Her uncle’s family loved to study so much. No wonder they became the leaders of the village.
She was proud.
… .
After returning to her room at night, she went into the space to take a look as usual.
“Eh, these pumpkins are already so big!”
Gu Qingming looked at the pumpkins that were already the size of a basin and was very surprised.
Every time she returned to the realm, she would be surprised.
Because the pumpkins in the space really changed every day.
If not for the fact that she was afraid of accidentally exposing her secret, she would have stayed in the space and recorded the growth of these pumpkins.
The pumpkins mature day by day from sowing to growing seedlings, blooming, and bearing fruit.
Ever since she took the pumpkin leaves out that day, she had thought of a way to bring a basket of pumpkin leaves out.
However, she had learned her lesson this time. She brought in a large plastic bag from the supermarket. After picking the leaves, she put them in a plastic bag and found an opportunity to bring it out.
The taste of the pumpkin flower was tender, sweet, and fragrant. It was really amazing and left a lingering aftertaste.
However, she could not bring it out every day to be cooked.
The Shi Family was amazed. Why was it that she was the one who brought back every delicacy?
Of course, they would not probe further.
Kong Xingfan looked at the fifty to sixty pumpkins in the space and asked, “Master, there are so many pumpkins. Do you want to bring one out?”
Gu Qingming said in distress, “Yes. But I can’t always use the same excuse.”
Kong Xingfan said nonchalantly, “What’s wrong with that? You’re all family. They all trust you. Coupled with their limited knowledge, they naturally won’t think too deeply about the origin of these things. Master, you’re thinking too much.”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “They trust me, but I can’t lie to them like this again and again because of this.”
“Then what should we do?” Kong Xingfan asked in distress.
The woman and the fairy fell into deep thought.
