selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

The reason why Pingba Village got its name is because the terrain is flat and there are a lot of good and fertile fields. When the land was divided at the beginning of the year, the people who divided the land were divided from the fields.

Chen Jianye was digging the ground, and Liu Dongxue followed behind and scattered rapeseed, and turned over some thin soil to cover it.

Chen Jianjun was busy in his own field next door, planning to plant some radishes.

After they were busy for some time, the sun was getting brighter, and they were tired after turning the ground for a long time, so the two brothers sat under the tree to rest.

At that time, Chen Jianjun asked, "Third brother, did Xiaochen go to the county a few days ago?"

Chen Jianye replied: "Yes."

Chen Jianjun asked: "I heard from that boy Chen Qian that he sells chili peppers. How are they doing?"

"It's okay." Chen Jianye didn't hide it from his own brother, "Just the bad chili that he thought about himself, it cost one yuan a can, and sold for two hundred catties."

Hearing what Chen Jianye said with his own ears, Chen Jianjun was shocked, "It's really sold?!"

"It's really sold." Chen Jianye said in the same muffled voice, "Xiaoqian Xiaobeiping went to the town with them, and when they came back, they all said that the business was good, but the things they brought over were not enough to sell, and many people didn't buy them. "

Chen Jianjun couldn't believe it, and reconfirmed, "Just the small pot that Chen Qian took home yesterday?"

Chen Jianye knew about this, so he nodded, "Yes."

Chen Jianjun gasped.

When Chen Qian talked about this with him yesterday, he thought that Chen Qian was committing an old problem, and deliberately exaggerated it for him in order to gain land, but he never expected that it turned out to be true!

Chen Jianjun was shocked. He sold a small jar of one catty to death for one yuan. Wouldn't it be possible to sell two hundred catties of pepper for 200 yuan? !

This money is so easy to earn? !

Chen Jianjun finally understood why Chen Qian was so persistent yesterday, and even told him that if he disagreed, he would use his own land to plant. In this case, not to mention the son who has always been high-spirited, even he can't help being tempted. !

After a while, Chen Jianjun asked again: "Did Xiaochen tell you that you want to grow some peppers?"

Chen Jianye's voice was muffled, "I mentioned it."

Chen Jianjun asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Jianye didn't speak.

Chen Jianjun knew what kind of temperament his third brother was, so he knew it right away, and he just said: "This land is indeed the guarantee of our peasants, otherwise the great man would not be able to propose a policy of killing local tyrants and dividing the land. We have to plant it well. Rest assured."

Chen Jianye didn't respond.

But Chen Jianjun, the clinker, suddenly changed the subject, and said, "It's okay to set aside two more plots of land to grow some chili peppers. If they really sell it like they did this time, then our life will be much better? "

Chen Jianye finally spoke, "Second Brother, do you agree with this?"

"I don't agree with that brat Chen Qian has to plant." Chen Jianjun snorted coldly, his expression obviously not happy, "It's not like you don't know that brat's temper, if I stop him from doing it, he can give it to you It pierced the sky, and beating and scolding him is of no use."

Chen Jianye naturally knew what his little nephew was like, "Xiaoqian is also smart, but he doesn't like farming."

Chen Jianjun didn't show any face, "He is very high-spirited, thinking about making a fortune all day long, but he doesn't even think about whether he has the ability to make a fortune. He just thinks about things that are useless."

Chen Jianye sighed: "Who doesn't want to live a good life."

Didn't they farm the land all day long just to get a few more catties of grain when harvesting?

"That's true." Chen Jianjun said after groping, "So I thought about giving Chen Qian two acres of land to save his family from trouble. If he really grows this chili pepper, don't worry about it." If it is sold or not, I can eat it at home. At worst, I will dry it and put it away next year. If it is not sold, after such a life, maybe that kid will find out that farming is good, and I will be honest in the future. Work hard, don’t have the energy to toss around.”

If Chen Qian couldn't keep reading, they would be poor peasants with no way out, so they had to count on the fields?

Chen Jianye was stunned when he heard that, "Two acres?"

Chen Jianjun angrily brought up what Chen Qian had quarreled with him yesterday, "...if I disagree, he really took away his four acres of land, and then I will die of anger. Why don't you let go Give him two acres, and I can at least grow some radishes and cabbages for the rest."

It is true that Chen Qian would make trouble with his family, and Huo Huo is still vacant, but there are also Chen Jianjun's personal selfishness.

Although Chen Qian loved to think about it, in Chen Jianjun's eyes, Chen Chen had always been a well-behaved and smart kid. He grew up well when he was young, and he read well. He was the most educated kid in their village. Chen Jianjun felt that Chen Chen was more sensible than before, and since he was involved in this matter, there should be a way.

At the beginning of the year, the land was allocated according to the number of people rather than age. Apart from a few older members of their family, Chen Huaice and Chen Huaizhi were also allocated eight acres of land each.

The two little ones are only a few years old now, especially Chen Huaizhi, a three-year-old baby can't eat much at all, and after all, their family's land is more than ten acres more than that of ordinary adults. There is nothing wrong with tossing ahead, the big deal is that the peppers of next year and next year will be planted in advance this year.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Chen also participated in this matter, and he looked very reliable.

Chen Jianjun was already very courageous, and it didn't take him long to figure this out in his mind.

Chen Jianye's situation is different from Chen Jianjun's. There are five people in his family now, half of them can eat me up, and everyone in the family can eat enough, so the demand for food is naturally great.What's more, Liu Dongxue and Zhou Ping'an had left half of the land in the Zhou family, and the land itself was less than that of other families. Chen Jianye himself was honest and responsible, so he was more cautious when thinking about it?

As Chen Jianye thought about it, he inevitably remembered what he heard last night.

At that time, Chen Bei was also shocked by Chen Chen's words. In private, Chen Bei's voice was louder than before, "Brother, why do you still ask Dad for eight acres of land to grow peppers and garlic?" ?”

Chen Chen's tone was very casual, "If it wasn't for my father's worry about sleeping and eating, I would have planned to plant all the sixteen acres of dry land at home with peppers and garlic."

Chen Beida exhaled, "Even if the bad chili sells well, brother, you are too bold and risky!"

Chen Chen is sure of winning, "Since I am sure of 100% success, why don't I do it?"

Chen Jianye didn't sleep well all night because of this disturbing conversation, and he was at war with heaven and man all night.

It's even worse now.

Seeing his frowning look, Chen Jianjun said bluntly: "Third brother, let me tell you, Xiaochen is a man of success in his heart. If he asks you for land to grow peppers, you can give it to him. After earning some money, Xiaochen will give it to him." Don’t you have the tuition and books for Bei? Besides, don’t you still have the money for the two hundred catties of peppers you sold this time? Be more courageous, you can’t go wrong with this.”

Chen Jianjun, who was persuading Chen Jianye to be more courageous, never expected that Chen Chen, who had always been well-behaved and sensible in his eyes but a little bit timid, asked Chen Jianye for land this time. It's a full eight mu of land, one-half of his family's total dry land.

Otherwise...he will scold him like he scolded Chen Qian!Dare to be blind all day long!

Chen Jianye didn't expect this, and after hearing this, he gave a muffled hum in response.

It was enough to talk about things, and Chen Jianye saw that Liu Dongxue had already sowed most of the land, and there was still a small half that had not been hoeed, so Chen Jianye stood up and continued to work.

When the small half of the land was finished, it was already noon, the sun was hot and high, and people had been working under the sun for a long time. It's sweat.

Back home, Chen Chen was cooking on the stove.

Cooking in this hot weather is also a hard job. When the fire is lit in the stove, the heat from the stove fills the kitchen. Chen Chen is sweating profusely, and the sweat on his forehead almost blinds his eyes.He suppressed the heat and copied two vegetarian dishes.

The rice is steamed sorghum rice, and a cold dish is mixed with oil and chili.

Three dishes, three people, live together.

At the end of this lunch, Chen Jianye suddenly said, "If you want to grow chili and garlic, you can do so."

Chen Chen was taken aback, "Dad, do you agree?"

Chen Jianye hummed, "If you really can't sell it, you can eat it yourself after drying it in the sun."

But who can eat the peppers from the six acres of land?

What Chen Jianye said was just looking for comfort and a reason.

Chen Chen knew it well, and solemnly said: "Dad, I have a plan in mind, and we will definitely not lose money. When the time comes, there will not be enough food in the paddy field, so I will buy it. I will definitely not let everyone go hungry."

"You can see for yourself." Chen Jianye had a simple and honest smile on his rough face, hiding his worry and trying not to let Chen Chen worry about it, "You are too old, and you don't want to study anymore, that's why you can The person in charge, since you want to do it, then do it."

Chen Jianye had thought about it, if Chen Chen was really prevented from doing it, then Chen Chen would definitely not challenge him like Chen Qian did, but he would definitely not be happy in his heart.

After these times, Chen Jianye also understood that his son is smarter than before, and he behaves properly, thinking of his family members all the time. Since this is the case, he can't make his son unhappy.

Anyway, there is some money at home, and Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an will have tuition and books for next semester.There are still more than [-] acres of land, which can harvest some grain.If Chen Chen is really unlucky and the business doesn't make a loss, then he will work harder to catch some fish and shrimp in the river, and go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables to eat together. If there are fewer vegetables grown in the land, he can survive.

As for not being able to sell the grain, not making any money from peppers, and having no tuition fees for the next year or two, he had the cheek to ask his elder brother and second brother to borrow some, and pay it back after selling the grain.

It's just that the days are tighter, but it's not too difficult to get through.

Chen Chen didn't expect that Chen Jianye had thought about the future after thinking about it, and right now his heart was aching because of Chen Jianye's words.

It's obviously unreliable for rural people in this era, but your family still supports you.

This feeling……

Poking him too.

Thousands of words, he finally gathered into one sentence, "Thank you Dad, you will not be disappointed."

Chen Jianye said yes.

Liu Dongxue hadn't interrupted before, but now he laughed after listening to it, "That's just right, the cabbage seeds have been sown this morning, and the radishes will be planted in a short time. As for the beets, red cabbage, moss, and leeks, they will be planted in the yard. It doesn't take too much work, and the chili and garlic should be able to work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Speaking of the business, Chen Jianye also erased the emotion in his heart, and said solemnly: "The land that was originally prepared to grow cabbage, cowskin, spinach, and onions should be planted with peppers first, and then planted after the sweet potatoes are dug, and a piece of garlic will be added. "

It doesn’t hurt too much to plant these vegetables earlier and later, they can survive the winter with frost, but peppers must be planted during this time, otherwise it will be too late after the sweet potatoes are dug.

Liu Dongxue hesitated and said, "Is the current land not enough for six acres?"

After harvesting corn, sorghum, and soybeans, there were more than six acres of land, but later planted winter wheat as soon as possible, and in the past two days, I was busy sowing some cabbage seeds, and the land that was still vacant was far from six acres.

Chen Jianye said: "Then wait for next year's spring planting, and make up for it by then."

Liu Dongxue was about to respond, "That's the only way to go," Chen Chen said first, "It's okay to plant peppers after the sweet potatoes are dug."

Chen Jianye said: "It was too late then."

"It's okay. When I was planting peppers in the yard a while ago, I also said that the hot weather is not suitable for planting. Don't I want to grow them?" Chen Chen said in an orderly manner: "Although the temperature is lower during this period than before, It is suitable for growing chili, but since the chili can be grown when it is hot, there is no reason why it cannot be grown when it is slightly cooler."

Chen Jianye frowned, "There are so many lands, if they can't be planted, the loss..."

"There's no loss." Chen Chen answered with a calm expression, "If it's really not viable, then at most it's a waste of some chili seeds. We deducted these from the chili peppers ourselves, and we don't need money."

After a short pause, Chen Chen said shamelessly: "But you and Aunt Liu have to work hard to turn over the land and plant some late spinach and chard."

In fact, Chen Chen said this purely to ease their hearts. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the seeds soaked in Lingquan would definitely be able to grow, and he would not bother to do the work again.

But Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue didn't know this. When they heard Chen Chen say that there was no loss, they thought it made sense when they thought about it carefully.

Chen Jianye compromised again, "That's how it is."
