Chapter 831

Although the greenhouse was planned, Song Tan still has her principles; she says that if winter is for resting, then it is for resting!

Therefore, this greenhouse is only two mu, not a single fen more.

However, while two mu of land doesn't look like much at a glance, once the shed is set up, the space seems to expand, so the plots of land are being partitioned off, just waiting for the planning to be done.

This is a big deal, and the whole Old Song family is online; even Lu Chuan was called back from the cattle farm.

He is still holding a milky little lamb in his arms; its four hooves are creamy yellow, and its fur is snow-white. It was a bit weak when it was just born, so Lu Chuan has been feeding it milk and keeping it warm every day, doing an even more attentive job than the mother sheep!

The sheep have learned to empathize; now when he enters the sheep pen to put down feed, no sheep will come up from behind to butt him in the waist.

This little lamb is bleating, milky and well-behaved. Seeing this, Qiao Qiao instantly threw those orange cats in the courtyard to the back of his mind, and now he has sat down next to Lu Chuan, eager to make a move.

But this meeting is for serious business.

"We only have two or three months; everyone, hurry up and think about what has an advantage if we plant it in the winter greenhouse?"

Does this even need thinking about?!

Song Sancheng's expression was subtle: "What about this... is the final payment for his house down the mountain still not settled? Besides, if you buy a car for him and his mother later, doesn't this car cost money?"

"This... tomatoes?"

Song Sancheng listened and felt a bit annoyed: "If you put it that way, I would have known to build a few more small sheds down the mountain; winter vegetables are expensive if they sell well."

Xin Jun hadn't spoken yet, but Wu Lan instantly snorted coldly: "What kind of car are you thinking about? With your driving skills, how expensive a car do you want to buy? Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if you bumped it even once!"

"When it comes to scientific research, talent and focus are indispensable. None of my students have that kind of ability or courage, so why make the children stay and be unhappy every day?"

"Tan Tan, how about planting some soybeans? We'll have guests coming to the house in winter, and I'd like to have some cold-dressed edamame to drink with them."

Qiao Qiao raised his hand: "Can we plant strawberries? The strawberries on TV are all in sheds."

"You, you! You old Song, you were full of drive when you were young, but now that you're older, you've become conservative."

"You're the one who's fine; you only teach the basics, and while it's quite interesting for them to go down to the fields to farm one by one... these aren't our specialized scientific research talents either!"

It was Song Meide who suddenly remembered something at this moment—

Song Tan waved her pen: "Write it down, write it down." Watermelons might take 80 to 110 days from sowing to maturity, which is a bit tight, but if we start breeding now, no problem!

Wu Lan hadn't done a greenhouse before, so she spoke quite cautiously at this moment: "The tomatoes bought in winter don't have the taste of tomatoes; planting a few to stir-fry with eggs for the New Year is also fragrant."

That must be done! Lu Chuan hurriedly wrote it down, and couldn't even forget various varieties like fruit tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Write it down, write it down! Xin Jun's pen flew.

The old mother has her own reasons for saving money: "Let's just buy a cheap one to practice with first—look at Tan Tan's second-hand pickup truck, isn't the quality quite good? If it doesn't work, we'll go buy one too."

"I've also looked at the projects done this year; they are all practical farming. We are not short of such students!"

Can't drink, can't drink, I still have things to do now; if I drink and lose my memory, it will delay things too much!

When I first came back in the spring to catch the farming season, I arranged work for the family to do every day, and the few mu of land were utilized thoroughly; my dad says every day that he can't keep up with the work!

After thinking for a while, he replied: "There are specialized edamame varieties, Huning 95-1 and Qingsu 2... I'll ask around for you, plant Huning."

Professor Song was happy and didn't mind at all: "Old Yuan, I'm older, and I just feel it's quite good for the children to be steady and happy."

Song Tan had raised cattle and sheep for a period of time, and she looked much more steady and reliable. Seeing everyone speaking at this moment, she also said:

"In the past, we talked about dedication, but now the children talk about stability; everyone has their own aspirations. As a teacher, I just respect them."

When these variety requirements were sent to Professor Song, the other party stared at the 【Soybeans】 and paused, before calling over:

"Plant some cucumbers?"

Now it's fine; I'm not so short of money, but he has energy instead.

Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, aren't you tired?"

Even if we can't catch up, we have to!

"Besides, I've brought up quite a few apprentices who are serious about scientific research over the years, and you've brought up quite a few who are down-to-earth in practice. You! Just don't look at today's children with old eyes. If he is willing to learn, I will teach; whatever he wants to do, let him do it..."

"And those students of yours... it's not that I'm complaining, but since you've taught them, you should cultivate them well and arrange for them to go into the laboratory for research... We are short of such talents in agriculture!"

It's dry and hot when roasting by the fire in winter, and we eat a lot of fish and meat during the New Year, so smashed cucumbers should be very suitable, right?

Speaking of wine, Professor Song thought of the bottle of good wine he had brought back with great difficulty and hidden in the storage room, and couldn't help but feel the craving again.

That's quite good.

Xin Jun thought for a while: "Then... grapes? Greenhouse vegetables don't have as much of an advantage as fruits. If we buy some finished grape seedlings, it should work. Oranges, lemons, emperor citrus, etc., all seem to be okay."

Zhang Yanping was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt in the warm room. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, he spoke first:

Lu Chuan:......

Xin Jun thought for a while: "Makes sense! This 90-day one will work, we can catch up!"

"You as a teacher... you don't give the students any advantage at all!"

Song Sancheng felt aggrieved: "I didn't want anything too expensive either..."

Chili peppers are afraid of freezing, and we don't have many fresh chili peppers to eat now; that's it, a greenhouse can work!

We harvested quite a lot in the summer, and I haven't heard that we finished eating them!

"Then... let's plant some chili peppers!" Seventh Uncle pondered: "The taste of fresh chili peppers is different from dried ones, and they are indispensable for cooking."

After hanging up the phone, looking at the fruits and vegetables in the list, he hurriedly pondered where he could get ready-made seedlings to keep warm and send over, to shorten the planting time...

Lu Chuan was smart enough not to participate in this kind of topic, and at this moment, he put away his notebook: "Alright, that's about it. We only have two mu of land, it's quite good to plant just this much."

Lu Chuan then realized: "It's not soybeans; we still have plenty of soybeans. It's enough to stir-fry them as snacks for the New Year. My grandfather wants to get some edamame for wine."

"However, forget about oranges; there is planned land for oranges and emperor citrus on the hillside next year. For this kind of perennial woody plant, there's no need to repeat planting in the greenhouse."

Is 100,000 okay?

"Watermelon! It must be watermelon! Eating watermelon around the fire!"

Whether to drink or not is not important, but cold-dressed edamame is really delicious. I opened the notebook at this moment and added it again.

"Lu Chuan, you're planting soybeans in the middle of winter, are there no soybeans at home?"

As for varieties and such, I don't know much, so I won't worry about it; let Professor Song help.

After going back and forth, when asking for news, there were fellow professors who made fun of him:

"Can, can, can!" Lu Chuan nodded affirmatively: "It's too late to sow this one, we have to buy finished seedlings. I'll call Professor Song."

You have to know that at that time, the family was still poor, and they were all using their original capital.
