Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 240 Money, all this is money

"Growing vegetables!" Lin Qingyan adjusted the height of the arch shed.

"It's impossible to grow vegetables in the current temperature! They won't grow even if you plant them." Ye Yi was puzzled.

"So let's do an experiment to see if it can grow."

Sun Qiu Shui ran back to the house, and then couldn't help coming out and looked at Lin Qingyan with a complicated look. It turned out that she was not mocking her, but really wanted to grow vegetables.

Lin Qingyan asked Ye Yi and others to help and planted some common vegetables inside. Then she covered the arch shed with plastic sheeting and pressed both sides with soil.

"Okay, let's wait and see the results of the experiment."

In this way, everyone at the educated youth site would visit the backyard every day. Even Wang Lanlan, knowing that they had built some sheds in the backyard and planted some vegetables, would come over every day to watch the fun.

Even the village chief came to take a look.

Ten days passed like this. One morning, Lin Qingyan had not returned from delivering vegetables to the modern town. Xu Jianshan went to the backyard as usual and opened the corner they usually opened. He actually saw green sprouts growing there.

He thought he was seeing things, so he lifted the plastic sheet a little wider and found that he was not seeing things.

He ran to the front yard excitedly, startling everyone at the educated youth site. When they saw the tender sprouts growing in the field, they all fell silent.

"Ye Yi, where is Lin Qingyan?"

Sun Qiu Shui has had a better relationship with them recently. They made such a big noise in the yard, but Lin Qingyan didn't come out, so she asked Ye Yi, who had the best relationship with Lin Qingyan.

But just as she finished her words and before Ye Yi's reply, she heard someone ask behind her.

"What do you want from me?" Lin Qingyan walked forward and saw the growing vegetable teeth.

"The vegetables are growing! That's great!"

Although Lin Qingyan had helped Grandpa Lin and the others to grow crops in a greenhouse, she was not there in person and did not watch the vegetables grow. This time, she watched them grow little by little.

Xu Jianshan thought more about it. He looked at Lin Qingyan with sparkling eyes, pointed at the plastic sheet in front of him and asked:

"Lin Zhiqing, how much of these materials can you bring over?"

Lin Qingyan is also considering the material issue. The bracket can be replaced with bamboo.

That plastic film should not be easy to get in the 70s. She had to make sure that this kind of plastic film was available elsewhere before she could buy it in large quantities from Hyundai.

However, she had never seen these things in the 70s. However, she knew that there were greenhouses in that era, but they were only in places like agricultural research institutes and were basically not seen in society.

If she wants to help the villagers of Xishui Village get rich, she can only rely on the power of the village collective.

"I was just experimenting to see if I could grow vegetables. I didn't expect that I could actually grow them. However, these materials are not easy to obtain.

Maybe the village needs to submit an application to the higher authorities as a collective." Lin Qingyan pondered for a while and then expressed her thoughts.

"Then shall we go find the village chief?"

Xu Jianshan looked at her and asked carefully.

"Okay, you can invite the village chief."

So Xu Jianshan went to find the village chief, who was having breakfast. When he heard him say that some sprouts had already appeared, he put down his bowl, got up and went with him to the educated youth point.

On the way, he called the village cadres and went to the educated youth site together to observe the growth of the greenhouse.

When they arrived, Wang Lanlan was already standing with Lin Qingyan, excitedly discussing something.

"It's really grown!" The accountant squatted down and excitedly touched the small tender sprouts with his hand.

"A few days ago, I heard that a few educated youths at the educated youth site had nothing to do and were tinkering around. I didn't expect that these kids would actually be able to figure it out." The new team leader was also very excited.

The village chief thought more about it. The climate here is cold and green vegetables are rarely seen in winter. If these vegetables can really grow,

Can we supply it to supply and marketing cooperatives? To state-owned restaurants? If we think more deeply, can we supply it to some factories? Or even to the county?

In the winter when everyone is short of vegetables, how much can they sell fresh vegetables for? How much money can their village earn? How much money can each household earn?

The village chief looked at the greenhouse in front of him as if he saw money, so much money, it was all money!

The village chief thought more and more, and became more and more excited. He felt that his chance had come, a chance to become famous.

"Xiao Lin Zhiqing, is this true?"

The village chief knew more through Wang Lanlan. He knew that the idea was proposed by Lin Qingyan and that she and the other educated youths at the educated youth site had done it together.

"Uncle Village Chief, you came to see me a few days ago. The vegetables have just grown tender leaves. We will be able to see how they are growing in a few days."

The village chief thought that what Lin Qingyan said was right, so he said to the people at the educated youth site: "You have worked hard. Take good care of this place and don't let anyone destroy it."

When leaving, I called Lin Qingyan,

"Xiao Lin, educated youth, do you think it would be okay if we could grow some vegetables in our village?"

"Uncle village chief, if the villagers want to plant it, of course they can. These are not my skills. I saw them in books and thought of trying them out. I didn't expect it to be successful.

But it is not difficult to grow this, the difficult part is the materials. The plastic sheet covering it is something I found at a scrap yard. That is all. If the village wants to grow this, they must first solve the material problem.”

Lin Qingyan wanted to help the villagers of Xishui Village so that they could have some other income besides working and farming and improve their lives, but the specific implementation and promotion required the collective efforts of Xishui Village.

"Okay, I got it! Thank you, Lin Zhiqing, for doing a great thing for Xishui Village. If it succeeds, I will report it to thank you." The village chief understood what Lin Qingyan didn't say.

In the following days, the village cadres were strictly ordered by the village head not to tell anyone else, including their family members, about this matter. Every day, people in the village could see the village cadres making several trips to the educated youth site.

Finally, when the vegetables grew big enough to be eaten, the village chief took a handful of each variety and went to the commune with Lin Qingyan, Xu Jianshan, and the village accountant.

As for bringing Xu Jianshan, it was Lin Qingyan who recommended it. When Xu Jianshan was in the experimental greenhouse at the educated youth site, he checked the status of the vegetables every day. He also knew the production process best.

Lin Qingyan also has her own selfish motives. She just wants to help Xishui Village find an opportunity to make money, but she doesn't want to spend too much time on it.

She has her own life plan. She works in space every day and doesn't want to stay in the fields all day in real life.

She wanted to take Ye Yi with her, and as for the other people in the educated youth point, only Xu Jianshan was more reliable.

When the leaders of the commune saw the fresh vegetables sent by Xishui Village, they took them directly to the county without waiting for the village chief to finish his detailed introduction.

The county saw fresh vegetables in this season and attached great importance to it, so they sent a group of people to investigate. As a result of the investigation, the matter was known to the provincial government.

As a result, the educated youth site once again attracted provincial inspections, and the names of educated youth such as Lin Qingyan and Xu Jianshan appeared in the provincial newspaper for the first time in the 70s.

After the newspaper report, it attracted more attention and the provincial government also paid attention to it. Finally, the province decided to set up a greenhouse pilot project in Xishui Village.

All the greenhouse materials were provided by the provincial government, which contacted the factories and negotiated with Xishui Village. The credit union even lent money to Xishui Village as start-up capital.

In the end, Lin Qingyan could not escape the fate of growing vegetables, but she was accompanied by other people from the educated youth site, because everyone in the educated youth site also became a member of the experimental team, leading the villagers of Xishui Village to build a new pilot project.

While Xishui Village was under construction,

Lin Qingyan's life was so orderly. She went to the modern farm to deliver vegetables early in the morning, led the villagers in the experimental group during the day, went to the cowshed to study at night, and occasionally visited Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin.

Of course, they would not miss out on modern wholesale markets and second-hand markets to look for things that were acceptable in the 70s and sell them to Ye Yi, Wang Lanlan, Xu Jianshan and others. Occasionally, they would also take some handmade weaving orders to bring some income to the villagers.

The busy days passed quickly, and Lin Qingyan didn't know that an even busier life was waiting for her.
