Chapter 53 Greenhouse Vegetable Planting
Now the entire Xilongzhuang has become a large construction site, and the busy life is busy.
The people in the mountains are simple and kind, and they also like the most. Xilongzhuang has released information and built a school to prevent children from getting cold in winter. Several villages are very supportive. After all, the children in their own village are also going to school there.
My third uncle didn't say anything he prepared. He just asked people to build a school, and all the villages responded positively and sent out the best craftsmen, fearing that they would be compared by other villages.
If someone is comparing this, not only will it not be possible to raise your head when going out, but the young man in the village will not even be able to say anything about his wife in the future.
It is precisely because of this competitive mentality that although there are many people coming, each village has sent village chiefs to lead the team. As long as the work is arranged, Zhang Lang doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.
"The dog is left alone! He is very soft when he works. Do you still want to talk about his wife?" The village chief of Zhaojiabao shouted at the young people in his village.
"Young guys, come on! Don't be compared by the people from Zhaojiabao! Show the girls of Xilongzhuang the strength of our Yangtougou!" The village chief of Yangtougou was not willing to be outdone and shouted loudly.
Several villages were working hard for a while, and Zhang Lang looked happily for a while before leaving.
Leaving from the construction site, Zhang Langyou then came to the greenhouse base.
The four neat greenhouses were thick and crazi, and the glass on the roof shone brightly under the sun.
The villagers passing by will look at the greenhouse, and their eyes are filled with indescribable joy and pride. That is their hope and their dream.
Walking into the greenhouse, Professor Wen was working with more than a dozen women selected from the village.
Zhang Lang had already discussed with Professor Wen before, and planted vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, celery, cauliflower, etc. in the greenhouse for easy transportation and storage.
Tomatoes and eggplant are grown in this greenhouse, and now they are just starting to grow seedlings.
Professor Wen also worked on his own, while explaining to them why they did this and the benefits of doing this.
The selected women are all in difficult families, and they cherish this opportunity very much and listen very seriously.
Zhang Lang did not disturb them, and stood aside and listened quietly to Professor Wen's explanation.
"Seedling cultivation is a very critical step in planting persimmons. As the saying goes, 30% of the seedlings are good. If the seedlings are well grown, not only are there few diseases and pests, but also the yield is high."
The scientific name of the Western persimmon is tomato. Because it was introduced from abroad, the people are used to calling it the Western persimmon.
In fact, there are many things in rural areas that have the word "foreign" (foreign oil), such as kerosene, also called foreign oil; bicycles, also called foreign cars; matches are called foreign fire.
"The first step in seedling cultivation is to disinfect first.
You see, I used to soak the seeds in clean water for 1 to 2 hours, now take them out, put the seeds in 55℃ hot water, soak for 15 minutes, and then continue to soak the seeds in clean water for 3 to 4 hours. This is the disinfection before breeding;
Be sure to pay attention here. When hot water soaks, the water temperature cannot be overheated. Overheating will burn the seeds to death.
The purpose of this is to prevent the occurrence of leaf mold, ulcer disease, premature blight and other diseases. It can also be disinfected by sanitizing it in the sun for two days.
If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask questions now.”
"Professor Wen, what you said is to control the temperature and humidity, how should you control it?" Huaiyin's first person raised his hand and asked.
"First of all, let's talk about the temperature. The temperature of persimmons is generally controlled at 25℃~28℃ during the day and 16℃~18℃ at night. You see the thermometer hanging on the wall. If the temperature during the day is higher than 28℃, ventilation is required. Have you seen the holes flowing out of the wall? That is the reserved ventilation tunnel.
The temperature in Northeast China is very low in winter. If the temperature in the greenhouse is lower than 16℃ at night, it needs to be heated. The radiator on the wall is used to heat the greenhouse, and the straw fir we prepared in advance are also used to keep the greenhouse warm.
"Let's continue to talk about humidity control,..."
After Professor Wen finished his explanation, Zhang Lang couldn't help but clapped and walked over, "Thank you for your hard work, we are all rough. This kind of crop is OK, but if you fiddlers with these fine vegetables, you will be fooled."
"You have a good wine and good food every day to keep me in my mouth. If you don't work hard, your boss will give me a gift. My own salary will not be able to afford such wine and food." After more than a month of getting along, everyone became familiar with each other, and Professor Wen smiled and joked.
"Uncle Wolf is here."
"Hello, Mr. Wolf."
The women who followed Professor Wen to learn how to plant a greenhouse greeted Zhang Lang one after another.
Zhang Lang nodded at them with a smile, "You are all very attentive. You can learn vegetable growing techniques from Professor Wen. Our village can make a fortune by relying on these greenhouses."
"Well, we must study hard for Uncle Wolf."
"Don't worry, Master Lang! You must study hard."
The male laborers have their own tasks, and Zhang Lang was not prepared to tie the male laborers to the ground, so he handed over the work of planting greenhouses to the women in the village. Although planting greenhouses was a little harder and tiring, this little hardship could not prevent the women in the mountains.
In the old age, people attach great importance to their craftsmanship. There is an old saying: Craftsmen cannot starve to death in the deserted years.
In the past, it was not easy to learn craftsmanship. If you learn skills by your master, you have to pay tuition. There is another rule that you can study the skills for two years and work for two years. The money you earned during your apprenticeship will belong to the master. After you get started, you have to work for the master for two years free of charge.
Moreover, it was difficult to learn something in the past few years. In addition to doing all kinds of miscellaneous work, I also had to do some housework for my master, which was equivalent to a servant, so there is a saying that "a disciple, a slave for three years."
The master’s teaching skills is not what we imagined to teach you step by step. The master will only give you some tips when doing your own work. Most of them rely on your own view and thinking about it yourself, which is the so-called “the master introduces the door and practices in person.”
Just this may not necessarily lead to real things. As a craftsman, you often have "one trick to eat everything". Some unique skills cannot be learned by ordinary apprentices.
Even more extreme craftsmen have rules that can be said to be bad habits such as men or women.
There is no doubt that craftsmen in the villages of Xilong Mountain all have such bad habits, which has also caused the men in the villages of Xilong Mountain all have their own craftsmanship, while most women know nothing and can only do some rough and stupid things.
So in fact, it is not necessary for Zhang Lang to explain that women cherish such opportunities. Not only to improve the conditions at home, but also to grow vegetables is also a craft. In the past, no matter how popular they were at their parents' home, the craftsmanship at home was not passed on to them.
"Does Professor Wen have enough staff? Do I send you a few more people?" Zhang Lang asked politely.
"There are not too many people who need to use to raise seedlings, but you have to arrange for people to get all the land out and sprinkle with the base fertilizer first." Professor Wen was not polite and arranged it directly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and arrange for someone to make up the land in the greenhouse." Zhang Lang agreed happily.
