Chapter 289 Chapter 289: Pick peppers
Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
Zhujiazhuang is located in the south of Fucheng, only twenty miles away from Fucheng. It was named Zhujiazhuang because the big landowner's surname was Zhu.
Zhu Lianshan's grandfather was one of the largest landowners in the area, and all the villagers in Zhujiazhuang were tenants of the Zhu family.
The Zhu family's fields amount to a thousand acres, and the acres of fields spreading out from Zhujiazhuang are very majestic at a glance.
It's hard to buy good-quality farmland, and it's even harder to buy land in large tracts. It's even more difficult to get a thousand acres like this, which are almost adjacent to each other.
So what if Kong Bokang and his wife could decide to occupy the Zhu family's property?
Since the Zhu family took away the water and everything was gone, and the Kong family came to take over Zhujiazhuang, these original tenants were dispersed by the Kong family.
Later, when the case was solved, Zhujiazhuang was taken back and given to Xu Chunshan to grow the peppers. There were no villagers in Zhujiazhuang, which saved a lot of trouble.
But as the pepper seedlings were planted, they blossomed day by day and produced long strips of pepper. They were something that no one had ever seen before, like a tree. They thought they were flowers, and later they bore fruits.
Come?
Not only the people in Fangyuan were muttering secretly, but Boss Shi and others who had been helping with the planting were also muttering, "What on earth is this?"
They actually know a little more than others, this is both a vegetable and a seasoning.
But it’s so novel.
Therefore, even though government officials come and stand guard every day, there are also many nearby people who come and poke their heads in from a distance to take a look. They don't come close and don't do anything. It's really hard to get rid of them. You can't watch them.
Don't let anyone see it.
Just watch it, it doesn’t matter. Xu Chunshan doesn’t care. If you watch it, you can still plant it? Do you know how to plant it? Do you have any seeds?
Therefore, as the peppers grow more and more, and the more they grow, the more people come to Zhujiazhuang every day, it is a curiosity.
There are rumors in Lianfu City that a novel and never-before-seen vegetable has been grown here in Zhujiazhuang.
If it weren't for finding out that it had something to do with the government, many smart-minded people would have thought about it.
Therefore, Xu Chunshan gathered manpower that day. In addition to the people who were already working on the peppers, he also hired many more people for copper coins to start picking peppers. Many people came after hearing the news.
Look at the excitement.
They didn't know that the peppers would still be red, they just thought it was time to harvest the vegetables.
Everyone is curious about how to eat this vegetable and what it tastes like.
Even many idle people in the city came out of the city in their cars to watch.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Xu Chunshan led people into the pepper field, each carrying a basket on his back. Xu Chunshan first showed everyone how to pick, and some precautions, such as not to pick the branches.
Break it off, don't let the pepper tree fall down, don't step on the roots or anything like that.
Then, start picking peppers!
Once the baskets are full, they carry them out and put them into the large baskets placed in the open space on the edge of the field.
There are many people and strength, and soon the baskets sitting in rows are filled with many. The baskets are long and green things, like small green eggplants, like green croissant horns, and like green sheep's horns.
small sickle.
In short, I have never seen this thing before, and it is strange to see.
The man who was joining in the fun moved closer, and then another inch. Seeing that the official on guard didn't seem to stop shouting, he boldly moved closer to see more clearly. He couldn't help but talk all over the place.
of discussion.
"What kind of vegetable is this? I've never seen it before."
"Me too, I don't know what this vegetable tastes like. Is it delicious?"
"It must be delicious, right? Otherwise, why would we grow so many of them? This is thousands of acres of fields, all of which are planted with this thing!"
"Then how do you eat this? Should it be fried or boiled? Nowadays, vegetables like courgette, loofah, and winter melon are eaten every day. I'm tired of eating them, so I just want to eat something fresh."
"You should continue to get tired of eating. I haven't seen these officers and soldiers guarding here for several months? This is something the government has linked to. Is it something you can eat if you want?"
"Why can't I eat it if I buy it with money? The man who took the lead in planting chili peppers is named Xu. I know him. His family owns the Xuji Pig's Knuckle Rice Shop in the city. He sells food himself. How can he not use this novelty?
vegetables?”
"You're kidding, who is he? The government can patrol the things he grows day and night. I guess they just hire him to help with the planting. He has no say in this matter."
"Just watch it if you don't believe it. Look at this little green thing. I really want to eat it just looking at it."
"..."
People are always very curious about novel things, especially if these novel things are edible. Everyone has a craving for food. In this world, there are many people who like strange food.
A group of people were talking non-stop, but they didn't mind staying here to waste time, they were enjoying watching the excitement.
It wasn't until the morning passed that the rice began to be placed on the field ridge. These people didn't expect to take the things away, but looked at them as they would continue to pick them in the afternoon. After looking at them all morning, they had to eat.
They dispersed one after another.
Xu Chunshan squatted on the field ridge with a bowl of rice covered with vegetables and ate it. Looking at the cars leaving one after another, he couldn't help but think to himself, if this chili food were to be sold on the market right now, it wouldn't matter what the taste was.
, believe it or not, it will be selling like hotcakes right now?
What this is selling is an unknown novelty!
It's a pity that the roasted pepper sauce has to be sent to the emperor first.
Who dares to taste this before the emperor? It’s a life-threatening situation.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that the smelly son had discussed this matter with the patron king, not the emperor. When he talked about it, the smelly son mentioned it for his family. The patron king promised that their family could also use this.
Chili peppers are sold for own use.
After all, the patron king also knows that hot pot is indispensable.
At that time, the patron king also agreed readily. If he came to talk about this matter after he became the emperor, even his son would not dare to say it so easily.
After lunch, they continued to pick peppers. It was not until mid-afternoon that Xu Chunshan organized a convoy to pull them into the city one after another.
He followed the car back first, leaving Uncle Zhang here to take care of the rest. After that, he would leave it to Uncle Zhang to keep an eye on the pepper picking and pull them back to the city.
Once you pick the peppers, you have to start cooking them. If you don’t put them in, they will become wilted and stale.
When Xu Chunshan returned to the city with the first batch of peppers, it was still early, and the peppers were delivered directly to a second-floor house in Jintai Lane next to Qingyunfang.
This house was bought by Xu Chunshan just last month.
He didn't take the route that Wu Yuanwai took, and he didn't have that many properties to sell.
This was brought to me directly by my husband, and together with the big house and the second house, the family bought a house.
The second-bedroom apartments are not far from here, and the larger ones are over in Jiangyang County.
The half-year dividends from the workshop and the shop in Yangliu Lane are in the hands of each of the three houses. The amount is enough for each house to buy a house in the city.
Not to mention them, Old Man Xu also bought a house not far from Yangliu Lane after listening to Xu Yinyin's suggestion that it would be better to invest the money into property.
He would like to buy land, but it is difficult to buy land and there is no land at all. He can only save money and look at it later.
So now the Xu family in the city is full of people who have shops and houses. No one envies anyone. Everyone is living a good life. The rope is tightened and the relationship is better than before, even if there is an extra person.
