In fact, there is a black technology product that fully automatically picks peppers in Wufei’s farm, but it is just the one that even the pepper trees are cut down together.

When Wu Fei saw it, he was suddenly ruthless. Vegetables like peppers have a very long picking period. Even in places like Wu Fei and others with frost, the picking period will last for half a year. From May and June, you can pick them until October.

Wu Fei estimated that the 70 acres of peppers he planted should be no problem with the yield per mu of 7,000 kilograms. By this calculation, the total output is 500,000 kilograms.

Even if it is calculated based on the minimum amount of two yuan per pound set by Wu Fei himself, it will be an income of 1 million yuan.

However, Wu Fei also calculated the cost of growing peppers. A pound of peppers costs 40 cents. The total wage of picking these peppers is actually 200,000 yuan.

This is not counting other costs. From land reclamation, seedling cultivation, transplanting, and daily management, the labor costs are not small. Although the daily income is tens of thousands of yuan, the expenses are not small.

However, the only thing that satisfied Wu Fei was the vegetables grown in the field. For such a long time, a major disease had not happened, which was the only thing to be thankful for.

Also, sales have been relatively smooth, and no incidents of vegetables rotting in the fields have occurred.

Just a while ago, Wu Fei saw a news on TV that lychees in some places have achieved a bumper harvest this year, but there has been a phenomenon of increasing production but not increasing income. Good lychees cannot be sold.

Even if someone collects it, it only costs a few cents per pound. In the end, many lychees rot on the trees and no one picks them.

Wu Fei has seen a lot of such news before, but Wu Fei has never understood why fruit farmers would rather rot on trees than sell the fruits cheaply?

After Wu Fei grew vegetables by himself, and after he entered the high-yield period of peppers, Wu Fei only realized why fruit farmers let the fruit rot on the trees.

Just like picking peppers, picking in large quantities, the wages of picking a pound of peppers from the trees alone cost 40 cents per pound. Wu Fei didn't know how much it cost to ask someone to pick them, but it didn't think it would be low.

If the money for selling fruits cannot be sold for the wages for hiring people, no one wants to pick them, and would rather all of them rot on the tree.

However, Wu Fei still feels that the profit of growing chili peppers is not as good as that of growing other vegetables, especially onions and leeks. It can be said that the highest profit among the vegetables grown by Wu Fei.

Moreover, chives can be planted all year round. Now the area of ​​chives grown by Wu Fei has increased to about twenty acres per pound. After about 10 days, Wu Bang has to arrange people to plant three or four acres of chives, so that they can ensure that there is always supply of chives.

Moreover, growing chives is much easier than growing chives. It doesn’t take a very long time to plant them. It can be sold in about 50 days. In such a high temperature season, this time is even shorter.

Moreover, the yield of chives is not low at all. After planting several waves of chives, Wu Fei's yield of chives can be almost as good as six or seven thousand kilograms per mu.

The price of onions grown by Wu Fei has always been very good. When it is the cheapest, the wholesale price has always been above 3 yuan. The gross income of onions per acre of land is 20,000 yuan.

Moreover, the artificial planting of chives is much less than that of chili peppers. The total cost of growing chives, artificially, seeds and fertilizers for a single acre of land will not exceed 4,000 yuan.

However, there is one thing that is that chives are not as good as chives, that is, the sales of chives are not as good as chives. After June, especially in July and August, the temperature of the year, everyone started to dry chili peppers. At that time, the sales of chili peppers were rising directly as somersaults.

Anyway, Wu Fei's family has to dry one or two hundred kilograms of fresh chili peppers every year. Don't look like a lot, in fact, after drying one or two hundred kilograms of fresh chili peppers, it is only more than 10 kilograms after drying them.

A pound of high-quality dried chili requires 12 to 15 kilograms of fresh chili to be dried.

When drying chili, you need to choose a sunny day, pick the chili from the ground early in the morning, and then rinse the chili with water.

When washing the peppers, you will also set up a large pot and start boiling water.

When the chili peppers are almost washed, the water in the pot will almost boil.

At this time, pour the washed peppers into the boiled water and use a large spatula to keep turning the peppers in the pot to ensure that every pepper will be scalded by water.

This process lasts about two or three minutes, and you have to take out all the peppers. The hot springs should not be burned for too long. If they take a long time, the peppers will be scalded and the skin on the outside will fall off.

Such chili should not be dried, and will rot soon.

After taking out the slightly white chili peppers, put them on the cleaned cement floor and dry them.

Usually at this time, the sun almost comes out. Clean the cement floor and all the films are covered with films so that when the peppers are placed on it, they will not be covered with dust.

After all the peppers are hot, all the peppers that were dried first will become cold in the store. At this time, you can officially start cutting the peppers.

Cut the peppers into small pieces one by one, not only because the cut peppers are easy to dry, but also the most important reason is that they can sift out the seeds in the peppers.

This is why you need more than ten pounds of fresh chili to dry one pound of dried chili. However, when we go to the market or supermarket to buy dried chili, there are usually a lot of chili seeds mixed in it.

In fact, such chili seeds have no taste and don’t taste good at all. For example, the dried chili dried peppers at Wu Fei’s home are rarely found in them, and they are sifted over and over again by my mother.

If the dried peppers are of good quality, they are usually light yellow, with a large bag per pound and will not weigh at all.

If you want to dry chili well, it mainly depends on the weather. Generally, dried chili peppers that are almost dried on the same day are the best. At least 80% dry on the same day, so that the dried chili will look good.

If the sun was not dry on the day, and then it rained the next day and could not be taken out to dry, the chili dried peppers would be almost half-waste. Even if they were sunburned in the end, they would turn black.

However, this is often based on luck. When the chili is dried, the weather is very good and it will dry in one day. Naturally, the best chili dried will be the best.
