Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 391: .Building a greenhouse (thank friends fo
Newfoundland suffered a snowstorm this year, and another layer of snow fell on the eve of New Year's Day. Fortunately, the snow was not strong and stopped at 2 in the morning, so Qin Shiou got up the next day to see that there was not much snow in the yard.
The sea around Farewell Island is full of warm currents, Daqin Fishing Ground also has geothermal hot springs, so that the snow melts and the frozen ground becomes soft.
On the first day of the new year, Qin Shiou went to the fish farm to take a look at the vegetable field. Hey, the vegetable field is not stiff. It is perfectly possible to grow vegetable seedlings and then build a greenhouse.
This discovery made him very happy. After Shaq and his party woke up with their drunken heads, he gathered them together to prepare a greenhouse.
Shaq drove to the town and borrowed a plowing machine, and quickly turned over the vegetable field twice. After all, it was winter, and there were a lot of frozen soil together, which was difficult to clean up.
The sea monster shook his head and said, "Boss, although I really want to eat fresh vegetables from our fish farm, I have to admit that now is not a good time to grow vegetables."
Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Don't worry, man, you have met my parents and you know their identities. They are all expert vegetable growers. I have learned a lot with them. Now there is no problem growing vegetables."
Now that I said that, the sea monster has nothing to say, shrug my shoulders and go ahead. As for the vegetables grown in the vegetable fields before, they taste really good.
New Year's Day holiday, coupled with heavy snow, Grant Elementary School recently came for a winter holiday, Shirley and the others have been resting at home.
Vini took them to clean up some of the last vegetables in the field, mainly radishes and cabbage.
Gordon and Michelle called ‘pull the carrot’ and picked out the remaining carrots in the ground, and placed them in the ice store with Vinnie.
After all, is a variety transformed by Poseidon’s energy, and the green radish produced in the vegetable field is not spicy. There is a faint sweetness, Qin Shiou can only explain that it is a fruit radish, so Wei Ni and the others really came to eat it as fruit, especially Xiong Da and pineapple.
The radish ventilates the stomach and intestines. Xiong and pineapple fart after eating. They find it very interesting regardless of the occasion.
After everything is cleaned up, the greenhouse is erected.
Auerbach has a strange enthusiasm for farming. He squatted on the ground and asked, "Qin, what type of greenhouses are we planting this time? A steel tube greenhouse or a bamboo wood arched greenhouse?"
Canada’s greenhouses are very particular about growing vegetables. Newfoundland grows relatively little. For example, the three provinces in the grassland where Vinnie’s home is a big greenhouse grower, many farmers have built greenhouses to grow vegetables.
Qin Shiou doesn’t need to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, he only needs to use a greenhouse, and he has nothing to do anyway. It is also more interesting to clean up the plastic shed.
Conventionally, Canadian plastic greenhouses are divided into two types due to different supports, namely steel tube greenhouses and bamboo wood arched greenhouses. The former is supported by galvanized thin-walled steel pipes, and the latter is made of bamboo strips and wooden sticks.
Qin Shiou advocates pure nature, so he waved his hand and said that he would use a bamboo and wood arched greenhouse. Auerbach went to call Bill.
Newfoundland’s marine aquaculture companies are, after all, agricultural companies. However, it is mainly based on marine products, and there are also related seeds and equipment on the farm.
Bill quickly sent a batch of greenhouse equipment. He personally led the team. After arriving at the fishery, he said enthusiastically: "Hi, Qin, why are you interested in doing this? I have seen rich people grow vegetables and eat them by themselves, but no I’ve seen a rich man like you grow greenhouses, it’s too hard, isn’t it?"
Qin Shiou smiled and said: "You made two mistakes, buddy. One. I am not a rich man; two, planting greenhouses is actually not that hard, it is much easier than selling."
Bill shook his head and said, "No, no. I'll still be my salesman, as long as I can meet a big customer like you every year. Then I don't have to worry about not having vegetables, haha."
Following Qin Shiou, Bill did not make much money. For example, when he bought lobster seedlings and sea cucumber seedlings some time ago, he earned a small commission of 100,000 yuan.
The workers brought by Bill removed the bamboo sticks, Qin Shiou signed a check to him, and the transaction was successful.
The steel tube greenhouse has a long life span, which can reach 15 years. However, the bamboo sticks and sticks that Bill sent to Qin Shiou are charcoal grilled and then treated with tung oil. The life span is much longer than ordinary wooden bamboo scaffolding, which can reach about ten years. .
Don’t think that these brackets are only wood and bamboo, but they are more expensive than thin-walled steel pipes. The greenhouse that Bill chooses for Qin Shiou is the most expensive, because he knows Qin Shiou’s consumer philosophy that only buys the best, not the most affordable.
These brackets are mainly made of bamboo and small round wood, with a height of about 2 meters and a width of 4 to 5 meters, with drawings for use. Bill's business is very proficient, and it is not unreasonable that he can make a lot of money.
Because the first lobster cooperation Qin Shiou let him go, Bill has always been grateful to Qin Shiou, and today he took the initiative to leave and guide a group of people to build the greenhouse, so that the project will be much faster.
Qin Shiou changed places and reclaimed two greenhouses. The width of each vegetable field is 6 meters and the length is 200 meters. The planting area is a terrifying thousand square meters.
Indeed, for amateurs like him, these two greenhouses are too big. But there is no way. This kind of greenhouses are all based on large specifications. If the length is too short, the plastic tarpaulin will not be unfolded at all, and some supporting equipment will not be installed.
Soon, the rows of brackets were erected, and the moso bamboo pieces were connected to them, like a tent skeleton in a small military camp.
"Then, what we have to do now is to cover it with a plastic film. What kind of film did you bring? Polyethylene or PVC?" Qin Shiou asked, rubbing his hands.
Bill directed Nelson and Bodella to open the plastic film, haha laughed: "Man, you look down upon me like this. How can you use that kind of ordinary film for a greenhouse worth 150,000? What I bring you is multifunctional and longevity. Membrane."
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "So amazing? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Bill explained: “I’m not exaggerating. This is really the best kind of plastic film. It is made by adding an appropriate amount of anti-aging material and surfactant during the polyethylene blow molding process. Don’t look at it as being thinner and more transparent. But it is extremely strong, with a service life twice as long as that of ordinary membranes, and the temperature of the shed at night is 1 to 2°C higher than that of traditional plastic membranes."
Because of the sea breeze hunting, covering the plastic film is more complicated. Qin Shiou and others all went into battle, laying them one by one, and it took nearly an hour to cover the two films on the bamboo frame.
This kind of plastic film is matched, and there is also a polyethylene high-foam film attached to the outside.
This is a white, bubble-like plastic film, 1 meter wide and 0.4-0.5 cm thick. It can be hung on the plastic film piece by piece like tank armor. The function is also similar to that of tank armor, protecting the plastic film from damage, and can also play a role in heat preservation.
It took a full day. With the efforts of the machines and so many people, the two greenhouses were finally built before the sun went down.
Finally, Bill and Qin Shiou hung the curtain door together and closed the two sides of the plastic film, so that the big shed was roughly built.
Looking at the two large sheds as mighty as military camps, Qin Shiou was satisfied and smiled: "On the first day of the new year, we did an amazing thing, very good, this is a good sign!" (to be continued~^~ )
