selling chili peppers in chronology

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

Although there was no publicity about the chili planting in the Chen family, the people in the village were not blind, so they discovered it with a little attention.

At first they thought they had read it wrong, thinking that it had sown other seeds.

But after asking, I found out that the sprinkles were really chili seeds!

The villagers thought: Isn't this a nonsense, where is the time to grow peppers now? !

They also persuaded them nicely, saying that they themselves have been cultivating the land for half their lives, so don't mess around now, if the land is ruined, it will be confiscated in winter!

In fact, apart from Chen Chen, the rest of the Chen family were also panicking. Although the peppers grown in Chen Chen's yard had been planted, who can guarantee that this time they will also be planted!

However, the time difference is not particularly long, and it is completely different, so even if the peppers are not so good, they should be able to produce some, and it will be enough to sell them for a little profit.

The Chen family comforted themselves in this way while flustered, then dealt with the people in the village indiscriminately, and continued to grow peppers in a silent voice.

The people in the village, especially the old people in the village, were a little annoyed by what they heard, thinking that they were just messing around.

But it’s okay, the land belongs to others, and you can’t make decisions for them, even when Chen Chen asked them to plant along with them when he tried to persuade them, people immediately shook their heads like a rattle, and they didn’t want to listen at all.

It's just that after a while, there was a lot of discussion in the village because of this. Fortunately, the Chen family was busy growing peppers, and they didn't have time to go out to visit, so they could listen less.

On the second day after returning from the county, Chen Chen also went to plant peppers for most of the day. Before dinner, he was preparing to deliver the bad peppers that he promised to Du Xingwei, so Du Xingwei came here with his things.

When Du Xingwei came over, Chen Chen was inside the house canning the bad peppers, so the door was opened by Chen Jianye who was sitting under the eaves enjoying the cool air.

Although Du Xingwei is from Pingba Village, but because of the bad things in the past, he was not close to the people in the village. The only ones who were good were the village head and the head of the brigade. After all, they had to ask for their consent to do anything.

As for the Chen family, they really didn't have much contact with each other. Even if Du Xingwei rescued Chen Chen later, the two of them had contacts. In addition, Du Xingwei lived far away and was still in the village from time to time. They basically met each other when they walked outside. Can't even touch it.

Now that Chen Jianye saw Du Xingwei coming to the door suddenly, he almost didn't react.

It was Du Xingwei who called out first: "Uncle Chen."

Only then did Chen Jianye realize, "Du Xingwei, come in and sit down."

Du Xingwei nodded, "Excuse me."

"Where is there?" Although he was a child from the same village, Chen Jianye was inexplicably embarrassed when facing Du Xingwei, who seemed to be a different person after going out for a while, "Come in and sit down."

Chen Chen had just loaded two jars of bad peppers, the jars had been sealed and placed, and he was currently covering the lids of the glass jars.Hearing the movement, he looked out, and through the lattice of the wooden window, he could barely see a figure.

When someone entered the room, Chen Chen said, "Why are you here when you have time?"

Du Xingwei said: "I'm not busy either."

Chen Jianye is not very good at communicating with people, especially people like Du Xingwei who are different from their rural people at a glance, and he doesn't know what to say.

He dryly asked Du Xingwei to sit down, and then found a reason to go out.

Chen Chen went to pour a bowl of sugar water for Du Xingwei, "There is no tea at home, you just drink it."

Du Xingwei said: "White water will do it."

After drinking the water, Du Xingwei uncovered the bamboo basket cloth, and inside was a killed rabbit, which looked quite fat, "I went to the mountain today and came across a rabbit nest. I was lucky enough to hunt two. I will go out tomorrow, and I will go out tomorrow." If you can’t finish eating, I’ll send you one.”

Chen Chen said: "You can make it yourself and take it with you on the way."

Du Xingwei: "Trouble."

Chen Chen was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is a big and fat rabbit, then I got a big deal."

Du Xingwei shook his head, "No, didn't you also say that you would give me two cans of bad peppers?"

Hearing this, Chen Chen immediately pointed to the two cans of bad chili on the table and said, "I just packed it and was about to send it to you, so you came here."

"That's a coincidence." Du Xingwei looked at the bad peppers on the table and said, "It looks better than before."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "It cost money."

In fact, how can it be such a coincidence, anyway, Chen Chen prefers that Du Xingwei is a rabbit specially hunted.He said that the bad chili was free, so Du Xingwei returned it with other things.

Chen Chen thought speechlessly: I really got a big deal.

Du Xingwei came here to deliver the wild rabbits, and he didn't sit any longer when the things were delivered. Chen Chen refused to let him eat, saying that there was still rabbit meat stewed in the pot, and it was going to be stewed dry when he returned home late.

So Chen Chen went into the kitchen and picked up a few steaming red date steamed buns, and put the two cans of bad chili into the bamboo basket together.

Chen Chen said: "This red date was brought by my uncle and the others. After drying it, Aunt Liu made steamed buns today. It smells very fragrant. You can taste it, and you don't have to cook and steam steamed buns yourself."

Du Xingwei didn't refuse, "Thank you very much."

In the cold dew season, autumn is high and airy, hot in the day and cool in the night.

The field has been paved with a golden ocean, and the late rice is ripe, and it is time to harvest.

In this era, harvesting is done by hand. Every household, men, women, and children all go to battle. The adults carry sickles to cut rice, and the little ones pick up rice ears in baskets. Older children who do not go to school cook at home. , Watch the time to deliver food and water to the people who are busy in the field, and then help to carry the rice that has been smashed.

Harvesting rice is definitely a harder job than breaking corn and harvesting wheat.

First, you have to bend down and use a sickle to cut the rice, and then you need to beat the bundles on the barrel so that the rice can fall into the barrel, and then use the rice basket to pick the rice home to dry, and finally dry it. It can be put into a sack and tied up and stored in a cabinet.When you want to eat later, take out the rice to shell and raise the chaff.

Needless to say, cutting rice, you have to keep bending over to cut, and you can't straighten your waist all day long.

As for threshing rice, it is even more difficult. You must have a lot of strength to do this job, otherwise the rice will not be able to thaw. Holding bundles of rice in your arms, you will keep rising and falling. The thorny rice that came here is enough to drink a pot, and I feel thorns all over my body after a whole day, and itches everywhere.

In this era, every household has fields, and every household is busy harvesting their own grain, and it is impossible to ask others to help.

The [-] acres of paddy fields under Chen Jianye's name are all planted with late rice. Chen Jianye has always tended them meticulously, and the rice has grown particularly well. It seems to be a bumper harvest year.

But Zhou Ping'an and Chen Bei want to study, and the family is full of laborers, and there are only three laborers in total, which is far more difficult than other families with more laborers.

Liu Dongxue and Chen Chen bent over to cut the rice, and Chen Jianye was in charge of threshing the rice. When it was almost time for the meal, Liu Dongxue went home with a load of rice to prepare the meal, and when it was ready, it was sent to the field. Until this time, Chen Jianye and Chen Jianye had been busy Only then could Chen Chen sit down and take a rest.

After eating, I continued to work under the sun.

It's just that Liu Dongxue didn't have to go home to prepare dinner later in the evening, because Zhou Ping'an and Chen Bei would do it when they came back from school.

If someone did their homework quickly that day, they would come over with a basket to pick up the ears of rice, or help cut the rice.

The other cooks while doing homework at home, and then delivers the food to the field, so that everyone can take a breather and eat something, and they can't go back after eating. They have to continue to work while it's still dark.

I waited until the sky became dark and I couldn't see anymore, then I packed up the farm tools, put the rice in the bucket into the grain basket, and started to pick up the fruits of the whole day.

Such high-intensity labor was very tiring, even though Chen Chen had helped to do a round of breaking corn, harvesting soybeans, harvesting wheat, digging sweet potatoes, he was still very tired.

In the final analysis, those things before were planted with a total of [-] mu of land, and the front line in the middle was stretched long. Sometimes they could rest for a few days, and they would eat at home, which was completely different from the current harvest.

Chen Chen was so tired that his whole body ached, he slept like a dead pig at night, and he didn't think about it the next day.

However, this is not something you can afford if you don’t want to. The most suitable time for rice harvesting is this time, and you have to beware of rain, otherwise when it rains, the mature rice will rot directly in the ground, so it must be harvested. hurry up.

I don't know which rooster in the village has just crowed, and the sky outside is already dark.

Liu Dongxue got up earlier and baked the most effortless pancakes with soup. After eating, everyone took tools and water, and then went to continue cutting rice.

After working hard for three or four days in a row, Chen Chen felt like he was going to be exhausted to death.

The next two days were weekends. Zhou Pingan and Chen Bei, who were not in school, came to the field to help. Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old, they could do a lot of work. With the help of the two of them, they charged a lot more that day. land.

Autumn harvest should be joyful, but Chen Chen just feels tired. He misses the rice harvester of later generations terribly, and thinks that machine operation is simply a miracle in human history, and it is a great invention that all human beings should pay homage to.

After working hard for a few days, in order to replenish the oil and water for the family, Liu Dongxue also hung up the fat rabbit that Du Xingwei sent before, smoked and stewed the other half, and there was not even soup left in the meal.

But this is far from enough.

During the whole process of harvesting late rice, Chen Chen had no way to personally cut the meat to make up for others, so two days after eating the rabbit meat, he directly gave money to Zhou Pingan and Chen Bei, and told them to visit Qingyang Town. Find a way to bring back some meat, even if the price is more expensive.

He is tired and bitter, and he really wants to eat meat!

I don't know how Zhou Ping'an and Chen Bei did it. They didn't buy any meat on the first day, but they brought back a beautiful pork leg the next day. After school, they cleaned it, chopped it, and stewed it. That night, the whole family I ate stewed pork leg with dried beans!

Whether it's Chen Chen who is hungry and crying, or Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue who are exhausted, or Zhou Ping'an and Chen Bei who can only eat soup and water in the school cafeteria every day, the food is delicious.

Everyone in every household is tired during the autumn harvest. Those who raise chickens and ducks will kill the chickens and ducks to eat, or they will buy pork to cook, so pork in towns and counties is particularly in short supply during this time.

This time Zhou Ping'an and Chen Bei successfully bought the meat, which gave Chen Chen confidence, and then gave them money, asking them to bring back a piece of meat every day.

Although the weather is cooler now, but there is no refrigerator at home, where can the meat be cut fresh that day?

The meat was eaten one after another, and Chen Jianye was a little bit distressed about the money to buy the meat. After discussing with Liu Dongxue, he wanted to make up for Chen Chen, but Chen Chen didn't want it.

However, even after eating like this, after harvesting all the rice, Chen Chen became visibly thinner, his chin was especially sharp, a piece of pork ribs could be felt on his stomach, and his skin was tanned to a certain degree.

Looking at it himself, Chen Chen felt like he had just returned from digging coal, or he was similar to the refugee who fled.

He himself was heartbroken watching it.

Looking at Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue who were equally tired and skinny, Chen Chen's determination to grow peppers became more determined.

Although pepper is a bit difficult to serve, it is just a vegetable no matter what. The red pepper is also red one after another, and can be picked in batches. There is no need to race against the same time, and people can relax a lot.

The point is, chili can be sold at a high price in his hands!

With money, there is no need to grow rice in the future, and you can go directly to buy rice to eat!Or even if you want to plant, you don't have to plant so much, and you will be exhausted to death after hard work.

Grow peppers!There must be many kinds of peppers!
