Chapter 132 Pepper and Pepper (2)

It is also good to grow some grain in the sacrifice field. After all, the grain grown in the sacrifice field can be used as a precautionary measure. If there is a bad harvest in a disaster year, the stored grain can be used to help the villagers, or someone’s life is not good. If you can't get rid of the pot, you can also take out the food stored in the clan to help.

Qin Zhongyuan had to discuss with the clan elders and villagers what to plant in the sacrificial field, but Chen Qiuxiang and the others could decide what to plant in their own field.

It will take more than a month for the paddy field to continue planting rice. They have to raise seedlings and wait until the seedlings are full moon before they can plant rice seedlings. So the paddy field waits to burn all the straw and so on, then plow it and dry it in the sun, and wait for the seedlings to grow. Soak in water after a month, and plow the paddy field several times after the seedlings are full moon before transplanting.

But the dry land can be planted. Chen Qiuxiang's family has twelve acres of dry land, so she decided to use ten acres of dry land to grow pepper and Chinese prickly ash.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum and pepper are both perennial crops. To plant them, you only need to harvest the fruits every season. You don’t need to plant them like grain and wait until they are mature to harvest the grain and plant them again. This makes the work much easier.

Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao drove the family's horses and donkeys to plow the land, plowed all twelve acres of dry land, and dug out corn roots and some sweet potato vines buried in the ground.

The dug out ground was sun-dried for two days. The weather is beautiful, and the sun was quite strong these two days. After sun-drying the ground, we began to plow it carefully, clearing out all the roots of some plants in the ground, and the stones Everything is cleared up.

To grow pepper, you need to dig a pit that is not too deep, then plant the pepper seedlings, and then insert the fern on the side of the pit to block the sun, preventing the pepper seedlings from being sunburned to death by the scorching sun.

Chen Qiuxiang still has a lot of pepper seedlings. As a wood-type supernatural being, she only needs to take out a peppercorn to produce a pepper seedling. Then cut the pepper vines into sections to harvest a lot of pepper seedlings.

The pepper seedlings in Chen Qiuxiang's ten acres of dry land were basically produced by her with a single pepper seed. In fact, Wang Mingya can also give birth to pepper seedlings, but isn't she pregnant?Qin Songtao felt that since his daughter-in-law could do it, his own wife should not do it.

Chen Qiuxiang has no objection, she still likes to give birth to these seedlings and then plant them.

"Can these peppers really be grown?" Qin Xiazhi, who came to help Chen Qiuxiang's family grow peppers, asked. He also knew that the price of peppers was not low, but everyone was worried that if so many peppers were planted, would it be profitable? What is the liveliness and yield?

Of course, the reason why everyone didn't grow too much pepper before was because the fields of each household were not large, and growing food might not be enough to fill their stomachs. How could it be possible to grow pepper and Chinese prickly ash?
"You can grow a living." Qin Muzhang said, he trusts his wife very much, if his wife can't grow a living, others can't grow a living either.

"Azhang, do you really plan to grow pepper on ten acres of dry land? Your family doesn't grow food anymore? There are more varieties of corn and sweet potatoes, so you won't be afraid of starvation." Qin Xiaoshu also said.

"Didn't you plant a lot of sweet potatoes and corn? The remaining two acres of dry land are reserved for planting sweet potatoes and corn, which is enough for our family to eat. Besides, shouldn't our paddy fields also be reserved for rice planting?" ?”

"With two acres of dry land and eight acres of paddy fields, my family can grow enough food." Qin Muzhang said.

"That's true." The others also nodded. Originally, Qin Muzhang's family planted more than ten acres of land, which was enough for them to eat and pay taxes. After all, their family had a relatively small population.

Although the ten acres of dry land are now used to grow pepper and pepper, the yields of rice grown by their family are high, and the yields of sweet potatoes and corn are also high. The yield of eight acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land should be enough for their family to feed for a year .

In the south, it is possible to plant two seasons of grain a year, and some can be planted three seasons a year if they can be harvested and planted intensively.Therefore, Qin Muzhang's family will not starve themselves if they have reduced the fields for growing food.

"Can pepper really make money?" Qin Dashu also asked.

"Yes, the price of pepper and Sichuan pepper is generally not low." Qin Muzhang said.

"I want to grow it too, but my family still has to grow food." Qin Dashu sighed, his family is not separated, all the fields belong to everyone, so even if he wants to grow it, he can't help it, and he can't beat the rest of the family.

The Qin family probably separated from the big house. At the end of last year, the big house Qin Lichun and his brothers separated. Qin Yushui and the others haven’t moved out yet, but the land is divided, and the family’s belongings are separated. It's almost divided.

When Qin Yushui, Qin Jingzhe and the brothers earn money and can build a house by themselves, they can move out, and then they will be more free.

However, the sons of Qin Songhai's family still live with Qin Songhai and the others. Qin Li doesn't want to separate the family. She can still order her daughter-in-law around regardless of the separation. The financial power of the family is in her hands, and the daughter-in-law has to please her She, she is crazy to break up.

All the children of Qin Li's family are married, and the youngest Qin Liqiu is already the mother of two children, but Qin Li just doesn't want to divide the family. She is neither willing to divide the family's money or land, nor Let go of the opportunity to order your daughter-in-law.

She absolutely wanted her daughter-in-law to experience the years she experienced under the hands of Qin Wu's. As for the length of time, the longer the better.

Qin Dashu is also very clear about his own mother's temperament, she is absolutely unwilling to separate the family, so he just talked about it.

"Dashu, your mother really doesn't want to separate the family?" Qin Jingzhe moved closer to Qin Dashu and asked, "Your brothers and sisters are all married, and your brother's children are all grown up. So many people live together Don't you think it's messy to be together?"

Qin Jingzhe really felt that living with a large family was really messy, especially when the house was not big and there were not many rooms, it was even more messy.

If he hadn't had the money to build a house now, he would have moved out earlier and cleaned it up earlier.Even though the relationship between their own brothers is very good, the relationship between his wife and sisters-in-law is not very good. After living together for a long time, there will really be all kinds of conflicts.

After all, their brothers grew up together, and their respective daughter-in-laws all married in halfway. They never had any feelings for each other before. After they got married, they each had their own plans. After having children, they would fight for their own interests Fight for something.

In this way, how can the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law be better?That is to look at the face of their respective men, it is not ugly.

Qin Jingzhe also understood that the relationship between his daughter-in-law and his sister-in-law was not very good, and he did not demand that she must love each other with the sisters-in-law, but he just hoped that she would not fight with the sister-in-law and hurt her feelings or something. Enough.

"Great summer, you should think more about yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children." Qin Jingzhe said.

"How else can I plan? My mother has been repeating this sentence for many years because my parents are not separated." Qin Dashu wryly smiled.
