Chapter 18 Planting Peppers

"I didn't expect him to come up with such a good thing after so many years. It seems that he has not slacked off in these years."

"Azhang is already very good. He has worked with Uncle Wu these years, and bought so much land for their family in just six years, which shows that he has always been very capable." Qin Mang said.

"That's right, Ah Zhang has always been very capable." Qin Guyu also agreed with what his younger brother said. Qin Muzhang was also very smart and powerful before, but at that time he just went out to work with his father quietly. Apart from the fact that their family has bought more and more land over the years, there seems to be nothing shocking.

But now that I think about it carefully, doesn't it mean that the rural people can buy so much land that they have the ability?If you have no money, how can you buy so much land?
"We brothers have to work hard too. There are four brothers in our family, and the fields in our family are not as large as Zhang's family. Tell me, if we also separate at that time, how many acres of land can we get? Can't support yourself?" Qin Guyu said.

"Brother, you also know that I can't read well, and my brain is not as flexible as Zhang, how can you make me work hard?" Qin Mangzhong said helplessly, "I just do a good job in the field, but everyone farms the same , it’s good to fill your stomach.”

Qin Guyu frowned slightly when he heard the words, and had to admit that what his brother said made sense.

All four of their brothers combined are not as smart as Zhang of the fifth uncle's family, so even if they want to work hard and make a fortune, they have no choice but to do so, they don't know which direction to work hard.

"Forget it, let's put aside the money-making matters first, and finish the work in the field first." Qin Guyu stopped worrying about making money and making a fortune, and called his younger brother to quickly get the bamboo irrigation system it is good.

When everyone was busy, Chen Qiuxiang’s dry land was finished planting, and the seedlings raised in the seedbed on the other side of the paddy field had only grown a little, and it was not ready for transplanting, so Chen Qiuxiang was busy at home with the vegetables in the yard things about the land.

It's October now. In ancient times, there was no such thing as a solar calendar or a lunar calendar. The time is calculated according to the lunar calendar, so it's October now, and it can be considered late autumn.

Autumn is here, and many wild fruits are ripe, but winter is coming, and it is time to plant vegetables.

The climate in Qinjiazhuang is very similar to that in Qiongnan, so it is impossible to snow or be too cold in winter, and it is still possible to continue growing vegetables.And the crops that are planted now can be harvested in April and May next year.

Just like the rice in the field, if it is planted in October and November, it can be harvested in March and April of the next year, and then it will be planted again in June and July, so that it can be planted in two seasons a year.

In fact, if you are rushing to plant, you can plant three seasons a year, but everyone doesn't want to be so tired, and you also need to give the land a rest, so you can plant two seasons of food a year.

As for growing vegetables, it is also good to grow vegetables in winter. After all, there is a lot of rain in summer, and sometimes when it rains heavily, the seeds will be washed away or the leaves of the vegetables will be smashed.

Chen Qiuxiang is sorting out her vegetable plot at the moment. She has planted two or three clumps of sweet potatoes in the yard, as well as some green onions, ginger and garlic. Now she plans to plant some peppers.

Although she is not from Sichuan, Sichuan or Hunan and Jiangxi regions, she is not very fond of spicy food, but she is still not used to not eating spicy food at all.After all, she was born in Qiongnan Province, where a large number of chaotian peppers are grown, and she still prefers to eat peppers.

Although the extent to which she could eat hot peppers was about two or three hot peppers, she felt something was wrong without hot peppers.

For example, when she wants to make cold salad, she adds some onion, ginger, garlic and vinegar, and then asks for no soy sauce, no chili pepper, and even less sesame oil. She doesn't really think such cold salad is very delicious.

It's different with chili peppers. The cold dish with chili pepper and vinegar is hot and sour, which is very suitable for her taste.

Before planting sweet potato and corn, Chen Qiuxiang had opened up a piece of land about [-] to [-] square centimeters in the yard to raise pepper seedlings. Now the pepper seedlings are growing very well, so Chen Qiuxiang planned to make a vegetable bed to grow very good peppers. The seedlings were transplanted.

Apart from Chaotian peppers, these pepper seedlings cultivated by Chen Qiuxiang also include millet peppers, Ervittae, etc. In addition, of course, there are also big green peppers with horns, and bell peppers that are bulging like lanterns.

Of course, green peppers and sweet peppers are eaten as dishes. Chen Qiuxiang still likes to eat green peppers and sweet peppers. She likes to eat fried meat with green peppers, or tiger skin peppers, stuffed meat with sharp peppers, etc.

Chen Qiuxiang pulled the pepper seedlings out of the soil, and then transplanted them to the side of the ridged vegetable bed, planting them carefully one by one.

She has put fertilizer on the vegetable bed first. The base fertilizer is plant ash and rotten leaves and soil she dug from the mountain. The fertility is still very good.

She wanted to use cow and sheep dung, but people in the country didn't raise many cows, so the cow dung was of course collected by the family that raised the cow.As for sheep dung, no one in Qinjiazhuang raised sheep, so she had nowhere to look for it.

As for human feces, Chen Qiuxiang hasn't collected much, so he can only use plant ash, rotten soil and rotten leaves from the mountain to fertilize, and use it first.

When Chen Qiuxiang was transplanting pepper seedlings, the aunt who was curious about the potion she made that could kill leeches came over.

"Azhang's wife, Azhang's wife, are you at home?"

Chen Qiuxiang was busy in the yard when he heard someone calling him, and responded, "I'm here, I'm at the vegetable field."

Wang Xiaoying hurried into the yard, then ran to Chen Qiuxiang and said excitedly, "Daughter-in-law Zhang, the potion you made before is really powerful. I have seen that there are really no leeches in your field."

"Isn't your dry land finished now? Your father-in-law and Zhang are busy in the paddy field. I have been observing them for a few days. They will not be bitten by leeches when they are working in the field."

"I also asked Zhang about how he went up the mountain, and he really hasn't been bitten by leeches. So, the potion you mentioned earlier is really useful." Wang Xiaoying said excitedly.

Although she was born and raised in the country and later married a farmer, she has become accustomed to the existence of leeches in the past 40 years.But she also doesn't like being bitten by leeches, and every time she sees leeches, she feels goosebumps popping out.

Now there is a potion that can prevent leeches from biting people, and even kill leeches, can she not be excited?It was like saving her life!
Chen Qiuxiang: "..."

"...Auntie, how long has it been since you came here to talk about the leech-killing potion?" Chen Qiuxiang was speechless. She thought that this aunt would see the effect the day after she put the potion and would come to her. , I didn't expect that so many days had passed before this aunt came to look for her.
