"Well, I'm a little tired of eating so much fish and meat every day. I'll ask the kitchen to buy more vegetables and fruits later for a change!"
On this day, Li Zexuan was eating lunch, facing the large fish and meat on the table, and subconsciously complained.
Although Han Yuxi and the cook at home are very good at cooking, no matter how delicious the food is, they still cannot stop eating meat every day! What's more, a healthy life requires vegetables!
This kind of life of eating and drinking every day has been going on for more than a month, and Li Zexuan can't bear it anymore!
"You kid, I'm afraid you've been busy lately, haven't you? It's already winter, where can you ask your servants to buy vegetables for you~? You don't want to eat pickles, so it would be nice to have some meat to eat!"
Mrs. Li knocked on the bowl, her eyes showing both pampering and helplessness.
Han Yuxi also said: "Yes! My husband! In this season, except for the green vegetables and cold melons in Wen Tang Jian, I'm afraid they won't be available anywhere else! My husband, you should just make do with it for a while, right?"
The so-called Wen Tang Jian was a department specially set up by the Tang Dynasty court to cultivate off-season fruits and vegetables. Don’t be surprised, off-season vegetables are not a patent of modern people. Off-season fruits and vegetables have appeared as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties. The "trap" planned by Qin Shi Huang The "Confucian Incident" originated from this incident.
According to historical records: "(Qin Shihuang) planted melons densely in a warm place in the mausoleum valley of Lishan Mountain. When the melons became mature, he ordered doctors and scholars to tell them about it. People's opinions differed, so the order was given."
As a result, these Confucian scholars didn't understand why, and after seeing how rare the melons were in winter, they were all killed on the spot.
In the Han Dynasty, the royal vegetable supply base "Taiguan Garden" began to use the method of accumulating fire to grow off-season vegetables on a large scale. At that time, there was a Xun official named Zhao Xinchen. He called out-of-season vegetables "illegal food" and should not be eaten because eating them would hurt people.
However, these words are obviously deceiving people, and their real purpose is to persuade the royal family not to be too extravagant. However, the "Taiguan Garden" that produced and supplied off-season vegetables to the royal family was not abolished during the Han Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, Wentangjian replaced the "Taiguan Garden" and began to supply off-season vegetables specifically to the royal family. However, the vegetable cultivation method at this time was obviously more "environmental". They provided heat to the vegetables through hot springs instead of Yunhuo. .
"Supervisor Wen Tang~?"
After my mother and daughter-in-law said this, Li Zexuan finally remembered the era he was in. But when he heard Wen Tangjian, he understood subconsciously. After all, this guy has read a lot of novels about Tang Dynasty in his previous life. He knows What kind of thing is Wen Tangjian?
"Then I'll go back and ask Qingque for some green vegetables. There must be some at this kid's house~!"
Everyone was speechless. How could a teacher compete with students for food? Li Zexuan is quite thick-skinned!
Ahem, in fact, this guy also wants to get greenhouse vegetables by himself, but water from far away can’t quench his thirst. Let’s first get some vegetables from Li Tai to satisfy his craving. As for greenhouse vegetables, he will do it too!
……………………
"Put it here, put it here! You guys, go to the front yard and help me move those brackets in!"
He did what he said. Li Zexuan was never careless when it came to his own diet. In the afternoon, he had someone buy a batch of materials and planned to build a greenhouse in his yard.
"Master, why did you get so many oilcloths and wood~?"
Xiao He looked at the open space in the yard, which was filled with coarse cloth and wooden sticks, and couldn't help but wonder.
Li Zexuan smiled: "Haha, Master, I want to build a house~!"
"Build a house? Master, why do you want to build a house? Isn't the house in our house enough to live in?"
Xiaohe became even more confused after hearing this.
"You'll know then!"
However, Li Zexuan did not explain much and directed the servants to start "building a house".
First, in an open space in the west courtyard, the four corners of the greenhouse were determined according to the pre-designed length and width of the greenhouse. The Pythagorean law was used to make the four corners at right angles, and then positioning piles were laid and pulled between the positioning piles. Locate the line well, and level and compact the foundation for the bamboo frame along the line. Then he asked the servants to level the ground with shovels, followed by drilling holes and inserting wooden supports into the ground. Suddenly, the "bang bang bang" sound of piling in the west courtyard resounded throughout the Li Mansion. .
Such a big movement naturally alerted Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, and the Ye family.
"Xuan'er, what are you doing?"
Although Father Li had "retired" and no longer took care of family affairs, he still couldn't help but frown when he saw his son trashing the family yard like this.
Seeing that all the main members of the family were basically here, Li Zexuan understood that there was too much movement on his side, and he felt a little embarrassed. "Dad, my son is planning to build a house specifically for growing vegetables in winter. When the time comes, If our family wants to eat vegetables, we don’t have to ask others~!”
"Build a house? Grow vegetables?"
Li Jingmo's eyes widened, and then he reprimanded with a straight face: "Nonsense! In all my life, I have never heard that you can grow vegetables in a house. You, my boy, have followed your master since childhood and have never been engaged in farming. To actually do such a ridiculous thing now is simply outrageous! If word spreads, it will be a joke!"
Li Zexuan said unconvinced: "Dad, you haven't tried it before, how do you know this method won't work? Besides, it's not like no one has tried growing vegetables in winter? Isn't it possible to do it with the Wen Tang Supervisor?"
Li Jingmo said angrily: "Wentang Prison has a hot spring pool to keep warm, and it is like spring all year round. Can this be the same? Stop fooling around and ask them to remove these things as soon as possible~!"
In fact, if it were normal, Li Zexuan could do whatever he wanted at home, but now Ye Guozhong and the others were still living in the Li family. Li Jingmo felt a little embarrassed when he saw his son acting like this. If he didn't do it well, he would be scolded by his father-in-law A meal.
Li Zexuan didn't have as many twists and turns as his father. He waved his hand and motioned for the servants who had stopped next to him to continue working. Then he turned around and said to Li Jingmo: "Dad, since you don't believe it, let's do it." Let’s make a bet! If vegetables grow in this house, dad, will you eat them or not?”
How could Li Jingmo believe Li Zexuan's nonsense? He stroked his beard and said proudly: "Hmph! Don't lie to your father. If vegetables can be grown here in winter, your father and I will not eat them even if we starve to death." One stick~!”
"Hmph! You old man has nothing to do, so why bother arguing with your son! When the time comes, your son will actually grow vegetables, and I'll see if you eat them~!"
Mrs. Li next to her, seeing that the old man and the young man actually started a bet, couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said angrily to Li Jingmo. In her opinion, although her son's move seems absurd, countless previous facts have proven that her son is always right.
