My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 622 Underground Farms

December 12th, Christmas.

Today, [-]% of Kangaroo Country's population comes from China, [-]% comes from other Asia Pacific member countries, and the remaining half is aborigines.

So that the festive atmosphere is not warm.

It can even be described as deserted.

However, in order to take care of the feelings of Mike and others, and to make the Christmas dinner look worthy of the name, Xu Dong still took a lot of thought.

Early in the morning, he drove Coco and Lele out. The father and daughter went to the largest supermarket in the city and bought a lot of Christmas decorations, as well as a two-meter-high plastic Christmas tree.

Although there are many trees planted in the manor.

But they were small bushes of the wrong variety, not very suitable for Christmas trees.In addition, these bushes are not easy to cultivate, and caring for trees is everyone's responsibility.

After returning from the supermarket, Xu Dong handed over the layout work directly to a couple from the Southern Dynasties among the servants. The Southern Dynasties also celebrated Christmas before, and the other party had experience.

After breakfast, the family began to visit the manor.

Although Dad Xu and the others came three days earlier, they did not visit the manor systematically, at most they just strolled around the villa.

As the chief designer of the manor, Xu Dong did his part as a commentator.

The first thing to introduce is the ground building.

The entire manor is surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. There are three main buildings inside. From south to north, there are large villas, indoor gardens, and garages.

There is nothing to say about the villa. It is a traditional Western-style villa with a total of three floors and more than 50 rooms in total, which is enough for the whole family to live in.

The indoor garden adjoins the large villa.

This is a leisure place for the whole family, almost equivalent to a miniature botanical garden. There are not only birds and flowers, but also supporting facilities such as gym, home theater, game room, and swimming pool.

Mark and Huahua also live in it.

In addition, the garden also has a small seawater desalination device, which was newly built last year. The water consumption of the manor is far higher than that of ordinary families. This is also done to reduce water costs.

In the Kangaroo Country, almost all cities are located in the coastal areas. Compared with China, 24-hour water supply has been realized long ago, and the water price is also tiered.

The more water you use, the more expensive it is.

And it is not capped.

After walking around, Father Xu said in doubt:
"Old man, isn't there a basement in the manor?"

Yang Lina echoed: "Yeah, I just said that I always feel that something is missing. You have built basements in all the villas in Hancheng. Why don't you have one here?"

"Who said there is no?" Xu Dong made a fool of himself.

"Where is it? There is no entrance to the basement in the villa." Yang Lina asked quickly.

"Come with me, the basement is not here."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he led everyone to the east side of the villa. This is the playground of the manor. The football field, tennis court, and basketball court are basically in this area.

Lele looked around.

"Dad, where is the entrance? Why can't I see it?"

"No hurries."

Xu Dong unhurriedly took out his cell phone.

The manor's general control system has been installed on his mobile phone, and he can control the whole manor through the app, including the most important security system.

Lightly clicked an icon.

In a burst of "buzzing", the ground in front of everyone suddenly parted from the middle, and a three-meter-wide underground slope passage appeared.

"The basement is under the stadium."

Xu Bin was taken aback: "Third brother, why are you making it look like a movie here? What are you hiding down there?"

"Wow, that's cool."

"Dad, is the treasure cave down there?"

The five siblings were very excited.

Children are very curious.

"Go down and see if you don't know."

Xu Dong smiled and took the lead and walked down.

Everyone followed immediately, but the more they went down, the more surprised they became, because there was a huge basement below, at least tens of thousands of square meters.

The basement is divided into left and right rooms.

Xu Dong immediately introduced: "The warehouse is on the left, and the indoor farm is on the right. Mom, don't you want to raise chickens? This is the most suitable place."

"Why build the farm underground?"

Mother Xu asked curiously.

"It's too smelly to build on it, and it affects the living environment." Xu Dong shook his head with a wry smile.

"There is no ventilation below, and the conditions are too bad to support them at all."

Mama Xu said in a bad mood.

"Don't worry, I have someone cut out a large 'balcony' on the east wall. The balcony directly faces the sea, and the ventilation is good!"

Xu Dong said confidently.

The manor of their family just happened to be located on the coastal highlands, and the entire east side was surrounded by cliffs. Although there was no beach, the privacy was definitely one of the best.

"Where is it? Take me to see it."

Mother Xu urged.

Others are also full of curiosity.

Xu Dong nodded, and led the crowd along the aisle to the east for more than 100 meters, then turned right, and a dazzling sunlight came into view in an instant.

"What about my design?"

Yang Lina was shocked and said, "Isn't the amount of work too big for such a big balcony?"

"The amount of work is not bad. There was a big pit here originally. It was constructed in the open air. After the basement is built, it will be backfilled. It is not as difficult as you think."

"I said, with your [-] million yuan, it is impossible to build such a large basement."

Father Xu suddenly realized.

"It's also a coincidence. It takes too much effort to fill such a big hole. At that time, the designer suggested that I build a large pond on the spot, but I rejected it on the spot and replaced it directly with the basement."

"Why build a pond? Raise fish? Next to it is the sea, can't you see enough?"

Mother Xu scoffed at this.

Xu Dong quickly echoed: "Mom, it must be a waste to build a pond. Look at such a big place, you can raise not only chickens, but also cattle and sheep."

"Raise sheep and cattle? How?"

"After a while, I plan to build a few more glass houses on top of it, and I can use some of it to grow pastures. This is what is done in the beautiful country."

"Will it be too wasteful?"

Dad Xu felt a little distressed.

After all, a good glass house turned out to be only used to grow grass, which is somewhat unreasonable.

"How do you call it a waste? The meat bought outside is unhealthy, and it's all frozen meat. You can go ahead and do it, the third child. Don't worry about your father. Mom supports you."

Xu Ma immediately retorted.

Dad Xu coughed: "What are you talking about? I didn't say anything against it. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Grandma, can I have a rabbit?"

Seeing that her grandparents were about to quarrel again, Lele hurriedly interrupted.

"Of course no problem. Our family hasn't eaten rabbit meat for many years. It's better to raise a few more. I heard that eating rabbit meat won't make you fat."

Mama Xu was indeed distracted.

"Grandma, I want to raise bamboo rats."

"I want Cole Duck."

"I want to raise grass mud horses."

The children chattered.

"What kind of grass mud horse is called an alpaca."

Xu Dong corrected immediately.

At the same time, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he didn't say he wanted to raise a giant panda, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy him.
