Chapter 55 Returning to Xinghua Village

According to Wen Yuxia's explanation, the Lu family father and son erected twenty trellises in the vegetable garden using bamboo strips, and then laid a layer of transparent, colorless oil paper on the trellises.

"Young lady, the oil paper is too thin; it will be blown away by the wind if you're not careful," Lu Zhigang said with some concern.

He already knew that Wen Yuxia was building the greenhouse to grow vegetables in the winter, and that she was worried the wind at night would blow the oil paper away and the seedlings would freeze to death.

Wen Yuxia said helplessly, "During the day, someone guards the place, and at night we cover it with straw mats and weigh it down with stones so the oil paper won't be blown away by the wind."

Since Daxia didn't have a plastic sheet, she had to use transparent, colorless, waterproof oil paper instead. Without clips, she couldn't fix the oil paper to the frame, so she had to use stones to weigh it down.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaosong silently picked up a small piece of bamboo and held it up on the trellis. Then, he quickly carved on the bamboo with a knife, and soon, a slot made of bamboo appeared in his hand.

He carefully used the card slots to fix the oil paper to the frame, and said with a simple smile, "Girl, do you think this way of fixing it is okay?"

Wen Yuxia smiled and said, "Great, absolutely great!"

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Lu Xiaosong actually made an ancient-style card slot without any instruction. Wen Yuxia happily explained the precautions for fixing the oil paper to them.

"You must be very careful when fixing the parchment paper. There can't be a single crack. If there are cracks, cold air will get into the greenhouse, the temperature won't be high enough, and the vegetables won't grow well. You also need to make sure the parchment paper is laid flat when fixing it..."

After explaining how to build the greenhouse, Wen Yuxia casually went on to tell them about seedling cultivation, grafting, cutting propagation, and how to save costs by raising chickens with earthworms. She also mentioned methods for raising earthworms and, finally, that castrated pigs don't have a gamey smell.

As they worked, Lu Zhigang and his sons listened attentively to Wen Yuxia's explanation. For the first time, the three men, who had farmed all their lives, discovered that farming was actually a skilled job.

"Young lady, is what you're saying true?" Lu Zhigang asked in a trembling voice.

Apple and pear trees can be grafted. The grafted apple tree can bear a fruit called apple-pear, which has the flavor of both apple and pear.

If it's true, imagine how much money you could make in a year if you used those five acres of vegetable garden in the backyard to grow apples and pears!

Wen Yuxia smiled slightly: "Really."

Fu Bao had taken her to Grandpa Li's restaurant a few times. She had originally planned to give Grandpa Li a few recipes, but it turned out that the restaurant's chef knew more dishes than she did.

The bustling city broadened her horizons; vegetable oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, vinegar, chicken essence, dried tofu, tofu skin, fermented tofu, and candles—things she only knew from her previous life—were readily available in the city's general stores.

She knew perfectly well that a fellow traveler from her hometown had arrived in the Great Xia Dynasty before her, and through subtle inquiries with Old Master Li, she had learned that these items all originated from the Zhang family in the capital.

The Zhang family was originally a villager in Baijia Village on the outskirts of Beijing. Two years ago, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, in less than three years, they became one of the top ten richest families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The rich list of the Great Xia Dynasty was also fabricated by the Zhang family. None of the people on the list held official positions, and even Old Master Li, the richest man in Nanzhou Prefecture, was on the list.

Behind every tycoon is a powerful patron, and these patrons are all high-ranking officials in the capital. They do not participate in the rich list rankings and are invisible tycoons.

Everyone on the rich list knows that the Zhang family's success today is due to their youngest daughter, Zhang Yanzhi. After being rescued from drowning at the tender age of fifteen, Zhang Yanzhi seemed like a completely different person. Despite being illiterate, she suddenly produced a multitude of recipes.

To prevent the formula from being leaked, the Zhang family prevented Zhang Yanzhi from marrying out of the family. They imprisoned the plain-looking Zhang Yanzhi in a dungeon, and she died of depression less than a year later.

When mentioning Zhang Yanzhi's death, Mr. Li made a series of remarks, saying that women who are ugly should not reveal their talents, lest they end up doing someone else's work for them and losing their lives in the process.

After listening to what Grandpa Li had to say, Wen Yuxia observed three minutes of silence for the time-traveling predecessors, and then warned herself to be extremely cautious so as not to follow in Zhang Yanzhi's footsteps.

After much thought, she finally came up with an idea that would both make her rich and keep her out of the public eye: growing vegetables, raising pigs, and planting fruit trees.

No matter how the pork here is cooked, it always has a gamey smell. Since Lu Lu is a veterinarian, castrating the pig should be a piece of cake for him.

She has already asked Xiao Zhang to help her look for nearby estates. Once she buys one, she will start raising pigs and planting fruit trees.

Actually, there are many other ways for her to earn money here, such as her old profession, making pills.

For example, in my previous life, wheat was grown twice a year, but here it's only grown once a year.

Other ways to make money include raising rice paddy fish, producing straw paper, charcoal pencils, glass, cement, and notebooks, but none of these methods are suitable for her now.

She had to lie low and develop stealthily before she could protect herself, as she didn't want to experience what Zhang Yanzhi went through.

Three greenhouses each house six kinds of vegetables: cabbage, chives, radishes, lettuce, spinach, and cucumbers. The remaining two greenhouses are used to grow cilantro and scallions.

After making the plan, Wen Yuxia asked Lu Zhigang and his two sons to buy vegetable seeds, and Lu Xiaosong and his brother were responsible for the subsequent management.

"Hong'er, let's go see Grandpa in Xinghua Village." After a busy month, things at home were finally settled, and the vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse were growing well. Wen Yuxia finally remembered the Wen family members in Xinghua Village who were building a new house.

The siblings slowly drove the mule cart out of the city gate and headed towards Biyun Town.

In Xinghua Village, Wen Dashan happily circled his courtyard several times before opening the gate and going inside. He never imagined he would live in a house built of blue bricks and tiled roofs.

"Second brother, third brother, you two go to the city and find Daya, and ask her and her brother to come back for the feast," Wen Dashan said excitedly.

With all four houses completed at the same time, he discussed it with his eldest daughter-in-law and two sons, and decided that the four families would hold a housewarming party together.

Wen Zibai nodded in agreement, and then he and Wen Zihua returned to their rented courtyard to hitch up a mule cart and head to Xinchuan County.

Outside Biyun Town, Wen Yunhong spotted the Wen Zibai brothers riding in the mule cart approaching from the opposite direction. He excitedly stood up, stood on tiptoe, waved, and shouted, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Hong'er and my sister have come back to see you!"

Wen Zihua waved happily to Wen Yunhong and said, "You're back just in time! We can move into our new house tonight!"

Wen Dashan said he would wait for Wen Yuxia and her brother to come back before moving. Today, Wen Yuxia and her brother came back, and he can finally move into the new house he has been longing for.
