The next day, after Su Mo had breakfast, she carried two pounds of brown sugar and one pound of eggs and went to Lu Guoping's house.
Long Xiumei gave birth two days ago, and it is said that she gave birth to a big fat boy. Su Mo originally thought of waiting for someone to take care of her for a few days before going to see her. Since she had something to do with her now, she went together.
Su Mo originally wanted to ask Lu Xingjun for help, but Lu Changzheng said that his brother had been an accountant for many years and his work was not good, so he asked her to find Lu Guoping.
Su Mo first went to see Long Xiumei and the baby. Not to mention, they looked exactly like Lu Guoping. They were almost exact copies.
Seeing Su Mo's shocked look, Aunt Chuncao smiled and said, "Everyone in my family is like this. Guoping looks very similar to his father."
Su Mo secretly lamented the power of genes and wondered whether her children would look like her in the future.
After coming out of the room, Su Mo told Lu Guoping that she wanted him to find a few young men to help build a greenhouse.
"You can find three or four people. It will probably take two days. Each person will be given a one-dollar subsidy. We will meet in the field later."
Based on the relationship between Lu Guoping and Lu Changzheng, he would help even if he had no money, not to mention there would be subsidies.
Lu Guoping hurriedly went to find someone.
Su Mo chatted with Aunt Chuncao for a while and bought some pairs of shoe soles from her. Then she went home, picked up her things and went to the fields.
The land Su Mo wanted was not large, just over a penny and less than 100 square meters.
Growing vegetables in the greenhouse is not her main project, but now that she has some free time, she will try to research it.
Real knowledge comes from practice. Maybe by experimenting, we can advance domestic greenhouse planting technology by a few years.
After Lu Guoping and others arrived, Su Mo first asked them to clear the snow on the ground, and then turn over the ground.
It just so happened that it hadn't snowed in the past few days. Although the ground was frozen hard, it was not big. The boys were very strong and quickly plowed the ground.
After plowing the ground, it’s time to build the tent. Normally, the wall is best made of wheat straw and mud, but Su Mo only had to use it for a few months, so she didn't have to put in so much trouble and could just use wheat straw and wood.
These rural guys are basically good at building it, and they are very fast. The entire shed was set up in a little more than a day. The roof of the shed was also made removable according to Su Mo's request.
Once the shed is set up, it's time to warm the floor.
Following Su Mo's request, several people dug a few holes in the ground and burned fire-resistant sawdust to slowly warm the ground. Otherwise, the cold ground would make it difficult for the seeds to germinate. The sawdust was obtained from the commune carpenter's shop, where there was a lot of it.
In ancient times, the princes and nobles would have people grow vegetables next to the hot springs to ensure vegetable supply in winter. Growing vegetables is feasible when the ground is warm.
Lu Boming heard that Su Mo was going to do some research and came over to take a look.
Lu Qing'an gave him the wild ginseng to eat, and after raising it for a few months, Lu Boming's health recovered. I don’t dare to say how long I can live, but if there are no surprises, it will definitely not be a problem to live for a few more years.
Lu Boxing's prestige in the village is still very high, and several young men were very happy to see him coming.
"Old party secretary, are you feeling well?"
Lu Boming has not been out and about for at least a year since his condition worsened.
Lu Boming smiled and said, "Yeah, it's almost good. You are busy with your business, don't worry about me, I will just take a look."
Lu Boming turned around and saw that he was doing well. When he was a child, the family's long-term worker also grew vegetables in winter, and that was pretty much the idea.
Seeing that Su Mo was not here, Lu Boxing went to her house again.
Su Mo was at home cleaning the vegetables grown in the house. The ones she had planted before were all powered by superpowers, so the data was not referential.
This time she plans to compare four groups, all of which will grow rapeseed. Two groups used current vegetable seeds, and two groups used vegetable seeds from later generations.
The seeds were divided into two parts, one part was planted as it was, and the other part was cultivated by her supernatural power before being planted. Then she would record the growth data every day.
Seeing Lu Boming coming, Su Mo was also very surprised. She quickly moved a stool for him to sit on and prepared to pour him water.
Lu Boming waved his hand and said, "Xiao Mo, don't be busy, grandpa is just here to take a look."
"Xiao Mo, can you tell Grandpa what you are planning to do with this research?" Lu Boming asked.
It's not that he doesn't trust Su Mo, but he is worried that she is a girl from the city who is engaged in agricultural research. He is afraid that she might go astray somewhere and he can give her some advice.
This is a difficult time for the country, and every penny should be spent wisely. He can't control others, but he doesn't want to waste state funds on his own people.
"I do this for two main purposes. One is to test whether this method is feasible, and the other is to record their growth data, and then calculate the production benefits based on the input and output..." Su Mo explained, and described what she had done in the past two days. Show the record sheet to Lu Boming and explain it to him in detail.
"Although the cost of growing vegetables this way is higher, my life is slowly getting better. When things get better in the future, people will definitely have higher needs in addition to food and clothing."
"If we can experiment with a way to grow vegetables in winter that is not too expensive, even if the vegetables are more expensive, everyone who has money will be willing to spend more so that they can eat better in winter."
Lu Boming felt relieved when he saw that Su Mo was very well prepared and it was not just a matter of heat.
"Okay, Xiao Mo, you study hard. I can move now. If my old bones are useful, you can just speak." Lu Boming said.
Who knows how to live the days of eating only cabbage and radishes in winter? Who wouldn’t want to eat better?
No one is born to suffer.
This winter, Su Mo grew vegetables here and sent some over from time to time. Lu Boming felt that the food tasted much better.
Seeing that he was going back, Su Mo quickly put most of the vegetables she had just picked into a basket on her back and asked Lu Boming to take them back. These vegetables were produced by her supernatural power and were good for Lu Boxing's health.
When the ground was almost warm, Su Mo called Li Yue'e and He Lanying over again and asked them to divide the ground into four pieces and plant leeks and rapeseed respectively.
They are still divided into two groups, one group is the original seeds, and the other group is the seeds that have been warmed with supernatural powers. She will then record the growth data every day.
Leeks and rapeseed were chosen because they are both cold-resistant crops and can survive the winter safely at minus 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.
After planting, Su Mo explained to them the precautions, how to irrigate, how to warm the ground, how to lift the shed in time to bask in the sun at noon when there is no snow, and how to cover the vegetables with more wheat straw when it snows heavily, etc.
Both of them were old farmers, and they understood it as soon as Su Mo said it.
Su Mo spent three days in the brigade to handle all the matters at the experimental site, and then went to the commune again on the 5th.
As soon as I returned, I got news that Deng Heng, the former propaganda officer, had become the secretary of the party committee.
It seemed that Lu Changzheng did not help Yang Jingming.
