Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Whose Threat (2)_1

"Can the temperature really be controlled inside the greenhouse?" Si Jinhan stood up with her.

Chu Suifeng also slowly stood up, judging by his actions, it seemed he also wanted to follow Lin Ziyin to take a look at the fields.

"Miss, your solutions have always been unique, growing plants in a greenhouse, that’s a great idea. This is a rare sight, if Miss Lin doesn’t mind, I’d also like to come and see." Situ Gong had been busy the whole day, his hands were numb, and he had finally finished jotting down the key points of what Lin Ziyin had said that day.

"There’s a greenhouse in the prince’s manor too." Lin Ziyin was not very pleased that these people were insisting on following her.

"The people in my manor need to learn from you, I need to see for myself how you do it." The meaning behind Chu Suifeng’s words was that he was afraid Lin Ziyin was withholding some secrets.

How dare they doubt her? Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin’s face darkened. However, she didn’t dare confront Chu Suifeng, stewing in her anger, she and Qiaoqiao headed towards the greenhouse.

After the Northern Land entered deep autumn, temperature dropped rapidly. It seemed like people were still wearing autumn clothes just few days ago, but now people in the village were starting to bundle up in cotton-padded jackets. To ensure all the vegetables in the field could grow smoothly, the dragon fire in the greenhouse had been lit.

"The temperature is under control, and it can be adjusted at any time." Lin Ziyin had designed a simple "Thermometer" and "Hygrometer". After Cui Da and others responsible for the greenhouse understood the instructions, they strictly followed what Lin Ziyin had said.

"Warm like spring." Si Jinhan was curiously wandering around.

"What’s this?" He slightly furrowed his brows when he smelled the scent of the tomato mother plant.

"It’s something I bought from an outsider, I’m just trying to grow it." Seeing that the leaves of the peppers were a bit wilted, Lin Ziyin immediately told Cui Da, "Stop watering it immediately, peppers don’t like water. The soil below should be kept dry, only water it thoroughly after it dries out."

"Yes, miss, I’ll pay attention." Cui Da quickly remembered it.

There were many different types of plants growing in the greenhouse, several varieties that even an experienced farmer like him was planting for the first time. There were indeed some plants that he didn’t know much about.

"The cucumbers are good, they’ve already started climbing up the trellis." Looking at the tender vines, Lin Ziyin felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"Prince, Third Young Master, Miss Lin." A few young men from the prince’s manor came over, and immediately bowed in greeting when they saw them.

"Can the leeks be harvested now?"

"Let me take a look." Lin Ziyin didn’t answer in a rush.

Reaching the greenhouse where the leeks were planted, Lin Ziyin crouched down to take a look before saying, "We should also plant leeks in our greenhouse. Cui Da, have someone harvest them."

"The greenhouse seems to be very useful, these leeks look very fresh and vibrant." Si Jinhan said with a smile. Situ Gong was even more curious, looking around everywhere.

Soon, a few men from the village and people from Chu Suifeng’s manor began to harvest seedlings. Lin Ziyin quietly instructed Yu Shaohui, who then left.

"What a pity to pull them out." Although Si Jinhan was a noble prince, he wasn’t the kind of clueless hedonist who was out of touch with reality. In the Northern Land, fresh vegetables were extremely scarce in winter. It was a waste to pull up these well-grown leeks from the greenhouse, not to mention, they could bring in a lot of money if sold.

"Don’t harm the roots." Lin Ziyin reminded the people who were digging up the seedlings.

With a grunt of understanding, the labourers’ movements became much more careful.

"Miss, here’s the scissors." Yu Shaohui handed her a shiny new pair of scissors.

"Watch closely." Lin Ziyin said to the two village women who had followed her, but her hands started moving.

"Didn’t you say we can’t harm the roots?" Si Jinhan looked at her in bewilderment. The root hairs of leeks were extended quite a bit. Lin Ziyin actually used a pair of scissors to cut off all the root hairs, leaving only about two inches.
