Chapter 533: Popular Science Greenhouse Vegetables
At ten o'clock, when the auspicious time came, the procession to welcome the bride arrived in great force.
The wedding car is a tractor with big red flowers on it, which is very popular in rural areas.
If Li Mingcheng was not doing well in the city, his second sister's in-laws would not value her so much and rent a tractor to marry her.
After stuffing red envelopes into the door, the newlyweds served tea. Li Mingcheng carried his second sister on the tractor, and the bride-to-be team followed them to have a wedding banquet together.
Li Mingcheng stood on the tractor and asked Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran to follow.
Lin Mai waved his hand and refused.
The custom here is that the bride-to-be party will have a wedding banquet with the groom’s guests, while the bride’s relatives and friends will be entertained by the bride herself.
Lin Mai planned to have a wedding banquet at Li Mingcheng's parents' house and make arrangements for the greenhouse vegetables.
It was still two hours before leaving the banquet, and the villagers were sitting next to Fang Zhuoran and Lin Mai, chatting like stars in the moonlight.
Everyone asked Fang Zhuoran whether it was scary to have surgery and whether he couldn't eat meat after each operation.
After a while, he asked Lin Mai what business he was doing in the city.
A villager in her forties or fifties with a face full of vicissitudes of life heard Lin Mai tell her that she had opened a vegetable market and a clothing factory.
He asked shamelessly if he could let his youngest daughter work in her factory, even if the salary was lower.
As soon as he said these words, everyone fell silent and looked at Lin Mai longingly.
They also wanted to send their adult children to work in Linmai's factory.
No matter how hard it is, working in a factory is better than farming, and you get a monthly salary.
But they were embarrassed to say this, as they were unkind and unkind to Lin Mai.
Now that someone has spoken out, they all want to hear Lin Mai's answer.
If Lin Mai agreed, they would follow suit. If Lin Mai didn't agree, then forget it.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "My factory is small and we don't need people."
Everyone was not too disappointed, they had already guessed that she would refuse.
No one would easily let an acquaintance into the factory for fear of being difficult to manage. This is understandable.
Lin Mai took two sips of tea and said to everyone with a smile: "Although my factory can't hire more people, I can still help you make some money. I don't know if you are willing to do it."
The villagers all got excited: "Do it! Why don't you do it!"
"It may be a bit hard!"
The villagers laughed: "The thing we rural people are not afraid of the most is hard work."
Lin Mai then told everyone his plan to let the villagers plant greenhouse peppers for several months starting from this month.
From the moment she planned to make her own chili sauce into a brand, she thought of the chili peppers from their mountains.
The chili peppers in their mountains are different from the chili peppers in other places. They are fragrant and spicy, not inferior to the Yungui chili peppers used in the chili sauce of my previous life.
She plans to use it in the future, and only uses chili peppers from the mountains to make chili sauce, so the quality of the chili sauce can be guaranteed.
The folks looked at each other, greenhouse vegetables? What the hell, I’ve never heard of it.
These days, there are no greenhouse vegetables in Jiangcheng. Not to mention the illiterate folks who can't figure out what greenhouse vegetables are, even Fang Zhuoran next to Lin Mai doesn't understand either.
Lin Mai used the simplest language to educate the villagers on what greenhouse vegetables are.
They are off-season vegetables grown in plastic film sheds on vegetable plots.
The villagers understood it, but they were full of questions.
A fellow villager questioned: "Can we grow vegetables like this? There is no light, and the temperature is not enough."
The folks farm every day, and everyone knows that in order to grow crops, there must be light, temperature, water and fertilizer.
Water and fertilizer can be artificially fertilized and irrigated, and it can be solved as long as you are willing to put in the effort.
But the light and temperature cannot be solved by hard work and hard work.
Without these two conditions, no crops can be grown, and the same goes for peppers.
Lin Mai nodded and said with absolute certainty: "Yes.
The plastic film covering the greenhouse is translucent. As long as the weather is good, the sun can shine through the film and onto the crops in the greenhouse, so there is no problem with lighting.
As for the temperature, greenhouses made of film are very insulated, and the temperature inside is more than ten degrees even in the middle of the night, which is enough to reach the temperature for vegetable growth.
So fellow villagers, feel free to grow greenhouse peppers, as long as the quality is good, I will harvest as much as you plant, and the price will be at least 30 cents per catty."
Everyone was excited at first. Thirty cents per pound was a very high price.
But immediately, everyone became hesitant, and no one dared to express their intention to grow peppers in greenhouses.
Because they simply do not believe that the sun can shine through the film to the crops, and they do not believe that the film has such a strong insulation effect that it can raise the temperature from a few degrees normal in winter to at least a dozen degrees.
Therefore, no one dares to grow peppers in greenhouses, fearing that they will lose all their money if they sacrifice both money and energy.
Lin Mai saw this and knew that they were afraid of taking risks.
She smiled at everyone: "That's good, you can rent the land to me for a few months, and you can work for me to grow peppers in the greenhouse. Whether the peppers grow or not is none of your business. You just get paid."
"
After everyone heard this, they immediately became active and asked how the wages were calculated.
Lin Mai thought for a while and said: "The basic salary is thirty yuan per month. If after the pepper harvest, there will be bonuses based on the yield and quality, what do you think?"
You don’t have to take any risks, you still get wages, and you get bonuses if you plant well. Who wants to miss this kind of good thing?
Everyone cheered and rushed to sign up.
Lin Mai waved his hand: "Don't sign up here, everyone. I will hire the village chief to help me manage it later. You can go to the village chief in the afternoon to sign up."
Only then did everyone become quiet.
Lin Mai immediately found the village chief and hired him as his manager with a monthly salary of fifty yuan.
Let him lease land and recruit villagers to work according to the land and labor situation of each household.
In addition, she also gave the village chief a sum of money.
Ask him to buy the materials for building the greenhouse this afternoon, and she will come early tomorrow morning to instruct the villagers on how to build the greenhouse.
The village chief nodded solemnly.
In order to be auspicious, Li's father and Li's mother arranged the wedding banquet at 12:08 noon.
When the auspicious time arrives, the banquet begins on time.
Although Li Mingcheng only works as a transporter at Fuduoduo Market, his salary is not low.
There is a lot of money sent back every month, and the Li family's life is very good in the village.
Therefore, the Li family set up about ten tables in front of their house for this wedding banquet. Not only did they invite many relatives and friends, but also basically everyone in the village, which was very impressive.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran were naturally placed at the table by Li's parents.
But neither of them are ignorant people, and they refuse to sit at the table no matter what.
Finally, the village chief and the elders of the Li family took the seats.
The Li family was in good condition. The wedding banquet included chicken, duck and fish. The dishes were rich and everyone ate happily.
At this moment, a woman's "Oh" sound suddenly came out.
Everyone instinctively followed the sound and looked over. It was Lin Bei who was passing by and accidentally tripped over a basin of washed lotus roots placed outside by the Li family.
The lotus roots rolled all over the floor, and Li Ma was so angry that she was half dead.
But if you want to do a happy event for good luck, you can't curse people casually.
Mother Li had no choice but to pick up the lotus roots with a dark face and wash them again in the pond.
Lin Bei, however, still maintained her fallen posture, with her breasts half exposed and her eyes watery as she looked at Fang Zhuoran, who was only three meters away from her, with fascination.
That posture is very eye-catching, like a bitch waiting for mating, which makes people feel sick just looking at it.
Fang Zhuoran concentrated on giving Lin Mai chicken soup, not even giving it to her out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Bei felt disappointed, angry, and boundless jealous.
She had just returned to her parents' home and dressed up carefully. Then she ran up to Fang Zhuoran and threw herself down just to attract his attention.
She has always had an enchanting self-confidence. As long as a man stops his eyes on her, she has the ability to turn him into her maid.
But the problem is, Fang Zhuoran doesn't look at her.
?Biao bit her lip angrily. Did the little bitch have a broken hand or did she not grow a hand? I want to give her chicken soup!
An aunt who was a helper in the Li family couldn't stand Lin Bei's promiscuous behavior, and said to her coldly: "Okay, I'm done with my coquettishness. Let's go quickly. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Lin Bei was so ashamed and angry that she had to get up and leave. Behind her was the disdainful laughter of the guests.
