Chapter 172 The Difference Between This and Shangliu Village
As he looked at it, Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but furrow his brow. He asked the Minister of Agriculture, "Our Great Qi's land in winter shouldn't look like this, should it?"

Emperor Jingxuan also worked in the fields; the emperor personally tilled the land to pray to Heaven for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest. Although he worked in the fields in the spring, the difference shouldn't be that significant.

The Minister of Agriculture gave a wry smile and nodded, saying, "Yes, the land in winter in later generations still seems to be very lush."

Many farmers in Daqi also discovered this.

Even Lin Lan and others were discussing, "There are many things that grow on the land in later generations that I don't recognize."

Ryohei: "Of course, they have sweet potatoes and tomatoes, and they have a lot more crops than we do. They probably have many crops that are suitable for winter planting. I wish we had those too."

"Look at those white sheds. Why are they putting up so many sheds on the ground? They can't possibly live in them, can they?" Aunt Yu said, puzzled when she saw the sheds.

Da Shan thought for a moment, "Perhaps it's to protect these vegetables?"

Everyone was a little confused, but the Minister of Agriculture had already figured it out. His eyes lit up and he said, "It's for growing vegetables, Your Majesty. These greenhouses are probably to solve the problem of low winter temperatures."

The Minister of Revenue asked, "What do you mean?"

"That greenhouse was obviously sealed, like a greenhouse in the Imperial Garden. Once the door was closed, the temperature inside was noticeably higher. There are fewer vegetables available in winter. I had always wondered how Chaochao could have vegetables from all seasons on their table. Now I understand, now I understand."

The other ministers seemed thoughtful, but the Minister of Agriculture was very excited. "Actually, some wealthy families nowadays want to have an extra dish on the table in winter, so they will have someone put some soil in a wooden pot and place it inside the house, and then use a stove to increase the temperature..." As he said this, he glanced at Emperor Jingxuan.

If this is the case for wealthy families, then the imperial family is even more so.

The imperial family had more than just these methods; they also had hot springs. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Huaqing Palace could use hot springs to grow vegetables, so the imperial family had a wider variety of vegetables to eat in winter than others.

"Unfortunately, this method is too costly and exhausting. Even so, the yield is very small, and some crops may not even grow successfully. Not to mention, vegetables grown indoors need to be moved outside to bask in the sun from time to time." Therefore, only wealthy families would go to such lengths for a single meal.

For ordinary people in the countryside, that's out of the question. In winter, their dinner tables basically consist of only cabbage and radishes, with the most being various kinds of pickled vegetables.

The pickled vegetables were still things like pickled radishes, which shows how scarce their food was at that time.

So when the people of the Great Qi Dynasty saw the sumptuous food they ate every day on the sky, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Many people even ate their rice bowls while looking at the sky, as if the food tasted better that way.

Upon seeing these sheds, the Minister of Agriculture suddenly realized, "These sheds are built directly on the ground, and they seem to be working very well. Did you see that some of the sheds weren't covered up yet, but the vegetables inside were lush and green, growing very densely, and the yield was exceptionally high."

Emperor Jingxuan nodded, "I just don't know what this shed is made of."

"Your Majesty, even if we don't have such a shed, can't we use something else instead?" a minister asked.

Who wouldn't want more food in winter? They're suffering from eating only cabbage and radishes every day.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at the Minister of Agriculture, who lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he said, "I will go back and think about it."

He had considered things like oiled paper, but as he said before, the cost was too high to make it widespread. Even supplying only high-ranking officials and nobles was impossible; private cultivation was manageable, but that wouldn't make much difference compared to growing it indoors.

As they spoke, the cars in the canopy began to slow down.

Upon hearing Jian Yunsang's voice, everyone exclaimed, "We've arrived." Chaochao's eyes widened. "This is Jinwen Village?"

"Yes."

Just as Chaochao was peering out the window, trying to get a better look, a young and beautiful woman rushed up excitedly. She ran straight to their car and said to Jian Yunsang, "Teacher Jian, you've arrived."

Jian Yunsang got out of the car, walked around to open the car door for Chaochao, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you didn't need to pick me up? I know the way."

"It's alright, I'll just pick you up at the village entrance, it's not far." Su Fangrong smiled brightly, clearly very happy.

Upon seeing Chaochao, her eyes lit up and she pulled out a doll from behind her back. "Little sister Chaochao, this is a little rabbit I crocheted myself. I'm giving it to you."

This rabbit has long ears, wears brightly colored clothes, and looks adorable. You'll be attracted to it at first glance.

She couldn't help but turn back to look at Jian Yunsang. Seeing that she nodded, she happily accepted it, saying, "Thank you, sister."

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

Jian Yunsang then asked, "Where should we park our car?"

“Over there, Master, come with me. There’s an open space ahead where you can park.”

The houses in Jinwen Village are close together, and the roads are narrow, so cars can't drive in. You can only find a place to park at the entrance of the village.

He Nanzhou followed her in his car and indeed saw an open space not far away.

After parking the car, He Nanzhou took several gift boxes from the car, and then the group followed Su Fangrong into the village.

As Su Fangrong led the way, she looked back and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher Jian, why are you carrying so much stuff? I invited you here to have fun, and your politeness makes me feel bad."

Jian Yunsang smiled, "It's nothing valuable, just some everyday food and drink items, don't think too much about it. Okay, watch your step, don't twist your ankle."

The steps here go up and down, so they're not very flat.

Fortunately, Su Fangrong's house was not far from the village entrance, and the four of them soon stopped in front of a courtyard.

The gate was open. The courtyard wasn't very big. Su Fangrong quickly walked a few steps inside and called out, "Grandpa and Grandma, I've brought Teacher Jian and the others here."

A man and a woman, who looked to be around sixty years old, soon came out of the room.

The two people had warm and happy smiles on their faces. "Come in, come in."

Chaochao followed her parents into the house, looking around curiously.

Jian Yunsang couldn't help but smile and ask, "Can you see how it differs from Shangliu Village?"

Chaochao looked down at the ground.
