Around now, several piles of peppers have been piled up on the drying field.
Song Xintong took a bench and sat down on the drying ground. He picked out the green peppers and the half red and half green ones with the big basket. Some of them were bitten by insects, and they were all thrown into the basket. After they were washed, they were all chopped into chili sauce.
Daya, Wang, Yang Xiaoyue, Qiu's mother-in-law and Juan's sister-in-law all moved very fast, and soon picked out all the green peppers.
"Xintong, why can't these green peppers be dried?" Asked sister-in-law Juan.
"I don't know. Anyway, the dried peppers seem to be dried by red peppers." Song Xintong threw a few more into the basket, "Daya, this pile of pick clean, you take the cudgel to make them flat and dry."
"Oh." Daya gets up to find qiongzi.
"She'll use it there. I'll do it." Autumn mother-in-law son neat of get up, "this side already picked up two baskets, big Ya first pick back?"? Don't be sunburned. "
Daya took a look at Song Xintong and nodded. Then she picked up the two baskets of peppers. "Girl, where do you put them back?"
"It's OK to put it in the shade outside the kitchen or in the house. When you've chosen everything, you can wash it and chop it together." Song Xintong ordered.
"Well
After Da Ya left, song Xintong and Wang moved to another pile next to them, usually a pile of peppers on an acre of land.
While drying hot peppers, qiupozi said: "there are quite a lot of hot peppers in one mu. Look at this pile, there are also 1000 or 2000 Jin. By the way, did you let them weigh Xintong?"
"Well, this pile is about 1600 Jin." Song Xintong pointed to the pile in front of him and said, "fortunately, there is mother-in-law Qiu to help fatten them, otherwise they would not have grown so much."
"That's not my credit. It's better for you." Autumn woman son will be a few piles of picked pepper all to spread flat, "and we sun millet almost, turn over and over the sun."
"Yes, it's a fine day now. It's estimated that it will be about ten days." Song Xintong said with a smile.
"The chili is so thick that it's hard to dry in ten days," she said
"We'll talk about it then. If we don't, we'll move it home to dry it." Song Xintong threw the green pepper into the basket, "if it's half a month later, it's estimated that it will be all red."
Sister Juan asked, "why don't you wait?"
"If you wait any longer, the restaurant will be out of stock, and the dishes that will be cooked at that time will not taste like this, nor will they be delicious." Song Xintong said, "mother-in-law Qiu, are you able to harvest your chili peppers? Sell them to me then, too? "
"What do you say to sell?" she said? You gave us the Miao. We'll save some to eat, and you'll take the rest. "
"How can that be?" Song Xintong is busy.
"Why not? It's less than two mu, and it's not much. Don't be polite to my mother-in-law." Autumn mother-in-law son sat over again, "we also grow this year to try, wait for next year we again many a bit, sell again at that time."
Song Xintong didn't say anything, but thought that it was not too late to calculate the money when she really brought the pepper. "Next autumn, grandma, you can have a variety of peppers. This year, we expect to sell some of our peppers. Next year, more people will want them."
Old lady Qiuzi: "well, I discussed with Uncle Daniu about buying several mu of land for more variety."
"Yes."
Autumn mother-in-law also said: "a lot of people in the village come to ask, say not next year also want to plant, when the time comes to ask you for seeds."
"If you want it, you'll have to sell it to me." Song Xintong thought that he could not really buy thousands of acres of land to grow pepper. First, he had no capital, and second, he had no energy.
"Xintong, you are kind-hearted and generous. If someone else's family would hide it, he family would not like to plant pepper at the beginning of spring. Now your pepper is better than Cornus officinalis, and now they are looking at it eagerly." Autumn mother-in-law took a look at the big banyan tree there he, "estimated to come to you in a few days."
"Aunt he said before that if there is no land to plant at home, only a dozen plants will be planted in the vegetable field." After Song Xintong finished, he looked at Xie Daniu, who was constantly picking chili peppers back. "Uncle Xie, sit down and have a drink."
"No, there's water in the field, too." Xie Daniu wiped his sweat and happily said to song Xintong, "he has already picked five mu. This piece is dozens of Jin more than before."
"It's very kind of you. If only every acre were a little more, it would be more than 2000 Jin."
"How can such a good thing be? It's more likely because I haven't picked it in the field. " Song Xintong said with a smile, although it is said that some modern pepper growers can grow more than 2000 Jin per mu, or even more than 3000 Jin, don't think about it here. She originally thought that it would be good to have 1000 Jin at most, but she didn't expect to have 1700 Jin, which is really a surprise.
"There will be more next year." Looking at the chili peppers, song Xintong thought to himself that if he added another step next year, he would not have enough at home, let alone sell them to Jiang Mingzhao.
"Do you have a good view of the land?" Qiu asked.
"Not yet. I'll have a look after the autumn harvest." Song Xintong said.
"I'll buy more paddy fields then, and I'll grow more rice next year, so I won't have to buy them at that time," she said
"Well, we'll see it then." Song Xintong remembers that the Lu family has a few acres of paddy fields and dry land, but they rent them to others. The annual rent is enough for them to chew for a year.
"Xintong, I think these peppers are big and long. Have they all grown up? No small ones? " Sister Juan moved the bench and asked.
"Yes, it's just that I let them stay in the tree and wait for a long time to pick them. Otherwise, it's a pity to pick them now." Song Xintong said.
"That's true. If you stay one more time, it will be longer." Autumn mother-in-law son calculated the day, "at that time can catch up with the wheat and rape, so you don't have to empty the land."
"You're right, grandma Qiu." Song Xintong doesn't like to eat pasta. It doesn't matter whether he grows wheat or not. Instead, he can have a variety of rape. He will fry all kinds of clear oil and stir fry vegetables in the coming year.
"If you want me to say that you can buy paddy fields earlier and plant another crop of rice," she said
Song Xintong said: "mother-in-law Qiu, buying land depends on fate. You can buy it only when you see the right one."
"So it is." Autumn mother-in-law Baba mouth, "you want to buy pieces of land, I'm afraid it's not very easy to buy."
"So don't worry. Let's see." Song Xintong wiped the sweat on his head, "now the sun is at the top, sister-in-law Juan, would you like to go home first?"
"No, I'm not hot. I'm wearing a straw hat." Juan sister-in-law looked at Song Xintong's ruddy cheek, "Xintong, you should wear a straw hat, you see your face is red."
Wang said, "if you don't go home and have a rest, you will soon be able to finish the work here."
"No, it's finished here. Let's just sit under the tree for a while. Next time they pick it up, we'll send it to a shady place." Song Xintong moved the bench to the shade of the tree at the edge of the Sun Valley Farm, and fanned with a fan. "It's much cooler here."
