Chapter 1221 1 Large Chili
She thought about it and felt that it made sense. She couldn't stay at home for long and had to travel around.
Today, the whole family is at home, and Zhou Mai and others took the opportunity to take two more days off. Zhou Guo might leave again at any time, and once she leaves, she might not be able to come back this year, so it would be good to spend more time with her these days.
No matter how bad it is, it won’t make a difference in these few days.
Except for Wu Ya and Xu who were pregnant, and Zhou Gu who was busy with other things, everyone else left.
Zhou Guo sat in the carriage and watched it leave the village. He was very curious, "Isn't it going to the mountains?"
She thought she should go to Junshan first.
The old man asked, "You went insane after staying in the mountains? You want to go back to the mountains as soon as you come back?"
Zhou Guo nodded seriously, "Master, don't tell me. I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. I really miss it. The walnut trees in the mountains must be ripe for picking fruits. How many shadowless fish have you caught this year?"
Talking about the taste of shadowless fish, she drooled a little, "Although the taste of crab is somewhat similar to shadowless fish, it is not completely the same."
She ate a lot of crabs yesterday. She also ate a lot when she was in the south, but she didn’t know if the food at home was better, she always felt that it didn’t taste the same.
Zhou Su rushed to say, "Sir, you went to the mountains when you had nothing to do this year, but you were unlucky this year and often came back empty-handed. In a year, the family only got two to eat."
Zhou Mai said: "Just be content with having something to eat. This thing is not that easy to catch."
The old man said, "I'll go to the mountains again in a few days. The shadowless fish are the most plump at this time."
At least Zhou Guo should be allowed to eat it at least once when she goes out. It's not easy for a child to be away from home all year round.
The family left the village, entered Yunzhou, and left Yunzhou...
She arrived at the farm that the Wang family compensated her.
At this time, the crops in the fields have been harvested, and there is nothing left.
Zhou Guo didn't see anything and didn't say anything. Since her master brought her here, he must have his own intentions.
Zhou Guo walked straight from the entrance to the village. Halfway through, he vaguely saw something on the ground in front of him. He asked curiously, "What is it that hasn't been collected yet?"
When she got closer, she became speechless, and looking around, there was no end in sight.
"Master, how many peppers have you planted?"
The old man said proudly, "This crop was planted later. We had already planted a crop in the spring, and after the harvest, we planted this crop again. Didn't you say this is a good thing? With this thing, the business of the braised duck shop will be even better. I planted a lot for you this year. The first crop of peppers filled a granary."
Then he said regretfully, "This second crop doesn't grow as well as the first, and it doesn't produce as many fruits."
Li also said: "There are a few vegetables planted in the vegetable garden next to our house. We fried them with meat as you said. It tastes good, but it's too spicy, even spicier than bad wine."
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "But as we ate more and more, we got used to it. We need to put this in one or two dishes during a meal, otherwise we have to eat two bowls less."
Zhou Su added: "This stuff goes well with rice. The green version is delicious and the red version is also good. But it doesn't taste that good after it's dried. Apart from being more spicy, the texture is not good at all."
He likes eating chili peppers very much, especially fried with meat, which is very delicious.
Everyone nodded and said that this thing can only be eaten when it is hanging on the branch, and after it is dried it can only be kept for seeds.
Zhou Guo laughed, "You must have eaten it wrong. This thing is just like ginger, it is just a seasoning. Before it is dried, it can be used to cook dishes, but after it is dried, it can only be used as a seasoning."
After saying that, he remembered something and added, "Oh, yes, you can also fry it like fried peanuts and sprinkle a thin layer of salt on it. It's the best dish to eat with rice."
The old man said, "We've been waiting for you to come back. You said this thing is so precious that we dare not touch it casually. You can eat it however you want."
Zhou Guo said, "When it comes to seasonings, Master, you are the real expert. When you were fleeing, you carried a lot of bottles and jars with you. Do you still need me to teach you something so simple?"
It’s not like pine mushrooms, which can be dried and ground into powder to become a seasoning. The same goes for chili peppers.
The old man said: "You don't know that I am old and my brain is not very good. How could I think of it?"
Zhou Guo shut his mouth.
Li said, "In the summer, many people in the village came to ask me if I could give them some peppers when they saw the peppers in our vegetable garden. I always said that there were not enough of them and refused. What do you think, will you give them some?"
"Give it to them." Zhou Guo said without hesitation, "I don't make money from selling this, so it's okay to give it to them. If we don't give it to them, people will say we are unkind and unwilling to give any vegetable seeds."
Li slapped her thigh and said, "That's not what I think. In the village, if a family gets new vegetable seeds, doesn't the whole village go to pull the seedlings? Even if the seeds are not many, the whole village should plant them the next year. We got such a small amount of new vegetable seeds, but we hide them and are unwilling to share them. It's a bit unreasonable."
Zhou Mi said: "I don't think it's a big deal. If this thing really becomes a profitable business for our family, it's understandable not to give it to us. After all, who would tell others about their way of making money? Maybe it will become something that our descendants rely on for survival."
He has always felt that as long as his family members live well, it's enough. As for outsiders, they are not that important. It is the best thing he can do to lend a hand when they are in trouble. If he gives away his own things because of outsiders' opinions, he must be crazy!
Zhou Mai thought it made sense, "I thought so too."
Zhou Guo thought about the purpose of coming back this time, sighed secretly, and said: "It's okay, our family has enough things to make money. Relying on this ten or twenty cents per pound, we can only make money for one year. In the second year, people will keep it for seeds. We can't make much money at all, and it's a waste of land. It's better to use this time to grow food. Just give it away. If they have extra in the future, we can collect it."
In addition to mountain products and duck eggs, the mountain product shop also sells condiments such as chili powder. As the reputation of this product spreads, it is estimated that the business will not be too bad.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of adding one more counter in the shop.
Everyone thought that this thing was easy to preserve seeds.
It is indeed better to save the land for growing other things than to grow this.
Maybe it won’t sell well, after all, I really can’t get used to it at first.
Zhou Guo walked around the land and found that the old man had planted at least several hundred acres of peppers, and this was only the second crop...
There will definitely be enough peppers this year. In a few days, the spicy goods in the shop will be ready. She has to see what the response is.
Many peppers in the field have turned red, but they are the last batch of fruits, and they are small and sparse, not very big.
She picked a basket of them, thinking of making a few more delicious dishes in the evening. She had only eaten fried pork with chili peppers once.
