Chapter 416 (1/2)
The greenhouse anti season planting technology is a quite mature agricultural technology on earth, and the principle is also very simple. If we do not pursue high-precision temperature and humidity control and soilless cultivation, it can be easily realized with the existing technical conditions of Ellington.
The most widely used and lowest cost plastic greenhouse on earth can't be manufactured now, because Donne doesn't understand how plastics are processed. There are too many chemical reactions involved, and he can't restore them at all.
So, from the beginning, he focused on the greenhouse.
The greenhouse built with alloy frame can use crystal in a large area to increase the light transmittance. Although the cost of using crystal is a little high, if you find quartz placer (white beach) later, you can try to burn glass and further reduce the cost.
The glass greenhouse needs to pay attention to the problem of hail, but in prandar, this is not a problem at all. Only a protective magic array needs to be arranged above, which can well resist all kinds of natural disasters.
Of course, only Ellington can be so extravagant. Donne thinks that applying magic to all aspects of life is the real magic civilization, but others don't think so.
For greenhouse planting, Donne doesn't have too high requirements. It's enough as long as Ellington can grow edible vegetables in the winter when there was no vegetable output.
Now Ellington can barely maintain a balance in food. What it lacks is the nutrition and vitamins provided by various vegetables and fruits, so greenhouse planting is more important.
Donne and Fiona were drinking hot cider and talking in a low voice. They sat here and made the scruffy civilians around a little uncomfortable.
Although Donne repeatedly stressed that there was no need to be nervous in front of him, the impression solidified by years of class rule was not so easy to eliminate, and Donne was helpless.
”... therefore, after the establishment of greenhouse, we can harvest vegetables in winter...”
As he was talking, Donne suddenly looked at a couple of men and women behind him and asked, ”what's the matter?”
The man is very young, only in his twenties. He looks familiar. Which factory should he work in? The girl looks about his age. Standing behind the man, she looks at Donne carefully. Her eyes are full of curiosity, worship and a trace of... Complexity.
They just stood in the back, always nervous, as if they wanted to say something.
”Lord, Lord...”
The young man stammered, ”I, I'm Toby from the paper mill.”
”Hello, Toby.”
”You, Hello!”
Toby blushed: ”thanks to Lord, I've worked for a few months and earned enough money to finally marry Jesse, so I'd like to thank you.”
Donne said with a smile, ”really? Just buy me a wedding wine.”
Wedding wine? What kind of wine is that? Is the wine that even the Lord hasn't drunk better than wheat wine?
Toby looked blankly. He said a little cramped, ”that, that, I don't know what wedding wine is...”
Donne then reacted. Prandal didn't have a wedding wine. He said with a smile, ”it's the wine you let the guests drink when you get married. It's called a wedding wine to celebrate the wedding.”
i see!
Toby suddenly realized that he was a little nervous and said, ”then, that, Lord, Lord, have you agreed to my marriage with Jesse?”
Donne looked puzzled: ”what does it matter if I agree or disagree with you when you get married?”
Fiona whispered, ”Lord, they need the Lord's permission to marry.”
”I see. I agree. I wish you happiness.”
Don en can't laugh or cry. The Lord's hand is too wide, isn't it? Even if others get married.
Toby and Jesse were relieved. Their hands were sweating nervously. Toby bowed his head and said, ”thank you, Lord. Jesse will arrive at the Lord's house on time in the evening. Let's go home and prepare now.”
”Oh...”
Donne nodded subconsciously. After the two men left, he suddenly came back: ”what does he mean by 'Jesse will be at the Lord's house on time at night'
Fiona said inexplicably, ”of course it's in exchange for the Lord's blessing.”
”Ah?”
”So, this is the Lord's ********* ah.”
Fiona said patiently, ”when the people in the territory are going to have a marriage, they need to get the permission and blessing of the Lord. That's what the Lord's * * * is about.”
”So...”
Fiona said casually, ”that means Jesse will present her first night to you tonight.”
