PFC Chapter 250
Chapter 250
Qi Cheng wanted to take a break, but when he saw the system prompt that he hadn't drawn anyone today, he had no choice but to let the system draw someone. He poured himself a glass of water and waited for the result of the draw.
"Gongsun Kong of the Han Dynasty"
Qi Cheng took a look at the introduction in the system. This person should be a useless illegitimate son of the Gongsun family, and he probably didn't make much contribution to history.
"Host, I see that your supermarket has a lot of seasonal vegetables. How are they grown? Do they all rely on that air conditioner you mentioned?"
The people outside the tent nodded. Food is the most important thing for people, and they also want to eat more vegetables in winter.
"These out-of-season vegetables are all thanks to the plastic greenhouses." Qi Cheng laughed. "Of course, there are different types of plastic greenhouses. The ones with air conditioning are just one type."
Qi Cheng did not go on to explain. Plastic was too difficult for the ancients to produce. It was estimated that they might not even be able to produce oil.
The people outside the sky looked at Qi Cheng without giving any detailed introduction, and most of them understood that they couldn't produce it again, but they also wanted to try the taste of this out-of-season vegetable.
Is there any way?
"In fact, there have always been off-season vegetables in ancient times. You may not have noticed it, but some of these off-season vegetables were grown near hot springs."
“Use the heat from the hot springs.”
"But there's a problem with this vegetable. The sulfur content in hot springs is quite high, and eating too much of it can cause your eyes to turn red."
"Of course, there's also a greenhouse method that's similar to a greenhouse, which uses large pieces of glazed tiles to cover the roof, so you can still have fresher vegetables in the winter."
The ancients outside the sky felt that these two methods were not something that ordinary people could do. Most hot springs were in the deep mountains, and the few that were outside were probably occupied by dignitaries.
They couldn't even get close to it.
Not to mention glass, for them a small piece is a family heirloom.
Tang Dynasty
Li Tai felt that these two methods were not difficult. However, the hot springs had to be found outside the palace, and the one who wanted to make the colored glaze and build the greenhouse did not even need to leave the palace. He could just ask the eunuchs around him to look for it in the warehouse.
"I think the greenhouse in the future is actually made of glass." Li Chengqian pointed to the model that appeared on the skylight. "How is the production of the glass outside going? Can they make large, smooth pieces?"
Li Tai shook his head. He only knew that the glass had been made, and he had also gone to see what it looked like.
"Brother, the reason I asked you to come here to discuss this is secondary. The main reason is to show you what I invented." Li Tai took Li Chengqian's hand and said, "Actually, I think it's not impossible to use this for growing vegetables."
"You? Invented it?" Li Chengqian was a little surprised. What did his younger brother mean by having a brain?
When Li Chengqian saw what Li Tai had made, he was even more surprised. It turned out to be a generator.
"Brother, try it with your hands. There really is electricity. Let's think about how to use electricity to maintain the temperature and grow vegetables."
"it is good!"
……
"Of course, these weren't the only two methods used in ancient times. For example, during the Qing Dynasty, people in Guangdong Province in southern China would plant lychees in large pots and then transport them north by horse-drawn carriages."
"By the time we get to the north, the lychees will be almost ripe."
"Although this isn't an out-of-season fruit, it should give you some inspiration."
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Kangxi thought about it and felt that there was no inspiration. Vegetables and fruits have different ripening periods. If the vegetables were transported from the south, they would become dried vegetables.
As for being as fast as in later generations, the Qing Dynasty was not that powerful at that time.
"The Ministry of Industry's research hasn't made any progress at all. What are these people doing for a living?"
"Your Majesty, those Han officials talk a lot about poetry and books, but they are not capable of doing these jobs. We Manchus are still needed!" A prince took the opportunity to say.
"We, the Eight Banners people... only know how to carry a bird cage. I think we should let the missionaries do it..."
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Houzhao felt that this method was a bit too extravagant. Why didn't the civil servants of the Qing Dynasty criticize it? Could it be that by the time of the Qing Dynasty, these civil servants had changed their temperament?
What does it rely on?
……
"Plant growth mainly depends on sunlight, soil and water. If vegetables are grown indoors in winter, there will be much less sunlight, so there are glass sunrooms."
"Then is there a need for less sunlight?"
"Yes, it's garlic sprouts. They don't need sunlight. After planting the garlic, you can just cover it with a bucket, water and fertilize it on time, and you can harvest it in twenty to twenty-five days."
"In ancient times, you could use a cellar and a stove, and keep the temperature around 20 degrees."
Tang Dynasty
Li Tai's eyes lit up. This vegetable was really suitable for planting. However, the sunroom had to be built, and the planting of garlic sprouts should be accelerated.
Try to eat it after a month.
"But how do we eat this?" Li Chengqian had forgotten some of the recipes. "Is it similar to garlic?"
"I have a recipe!"
Qing Dynasty
In fact, garlic sprouts are already on the market for winter, but most people don’t know how to grow them, so they can only watch others make money.
Now that Tianmu has told us the solution.
Many wealthy people are willing to give it a try. If the planting is successful, they will make a fortune!
"I wonder what method is used to grow the cucumbers that are on the market in winter. I heard that it costs one or two taels of silver per cucumber. If we can grow these, we will become rich."
"There must be a way. I heard there are also radish seedlings. I think it should be done in a greenhouse."
……
The common people of other dynasties felt helpless. These methods were too difficult, and ordinary people like them had no other options.
These good things are always prepared for the rich and powerful.
As a bastard of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Kong still had some capital in his hands. In addition, garlic had just been introduced at that time. If he could grow garlic sprouts to offer as a tribute.
Then he will definitely get a job.
He couldn't do anything about greenhouses made of glass or glazed tiles, but he could ask the craftsmen to try their hand at the kind of house with an underground fire dragon mentioned later.
Or just ask the Mohists to come and build it.
……
After Qi Cheng finished talking about this, he felt that most dynasties could grow a few things, because our country has a very rich talent for planting.
He just watched a video a few days ago, which said that a piece of wasteland in France was planted with various vegetables by Chinese people, and even the local mayor praised these people for their ability.
I searched on my phone and found that conventional places like wastelands can no longer reflect our strength. Some people are growing vegetables in Antarctica.
Even the celestial palaces in the sky have vegetables grown there.
