Chapter 121: We Believe in You
Just do it. Early the next morning, Dad Li took Xiaoyang to Jiuzhou Village to see Li Zheng. And Su Shi, yesterday afternoon, had already gone to the house of an acquaintance and had a little breath.
Judging from the feedback from the Su family, even familiar people, such as Aunt Zhou and Aunt Huang, are still in the hesitation stage. It can be seen that the impact of new species can only be after the fruit is planted.
However, a family readily agreed, saying that they would definitely follow in the footsteps of the Li family, and everyone had a way to drill together. That person was none other than Granny Yu. And Zhou Liufei himself, as the nephew of Granny Yu, naturally has to follow her instructions.
In other words, this old and new Zhou Village, to put it bluntly, is just separated by a big pond. Jiuzhou Village is located on the east side of the reservoir, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is a good place to live. Moreover, 60 percent of all the fertile land in the old and new Zhou villages is scattered on that side.
The reason why the new Zhou Village appeared was only because the population density of the old Zhou Village was too high at that time. If those clansmen who have separated from their families build houses and live in Jiuzhou Village, they are likely to occupy good land. As a last resort, the patriarch of Zhou Village at that time divided a part of the current New Zhou Village from the younger generations.
After that, as long as the Zhou clan is separated, they will choose to build a house in the current Xinzhou Village. Moreover, almost 90 percent of people with foreign surnames have settled in Xinzhou Village. The area of the old and new Zhou villages is much larger than the urban area of the entire Fucheng. Normally, if the northernmost family in Xinzhou Village wants to go to the easternmost family in Jiuzhou Village to visit relatives, it will take nearly an hour to walk.
But the pond between the two villages is very beautiful. Just like the tenth month of the first month, it will be good to separate the old and new Zhou villages. The moon has an arc-shaped side, in the village of Xinzhou, on the side facing directly, in the village of the old Zhou.
At the north corner of the reservoir, there is a small stream that connects to the Yong River. In other words, the pond is a pool of semi-living water. However, people from both villages did not use the pond for farming. Li Xiaonuan has always felt that it is a waste of resources.
Therefore, in the Xanadu project that she is still planning, the reservoir is listed as a key planning project.
There were a lot of artemisia melons, cattails, reeds, shallots, and so on around the pond. If you look at the pond for a long time, you can see some wild river fish coming out of the water from time to time to breathe.
Of course, there are many wild freshwater shrimp. It's just that people nowadays don't like to eat those little things. Even if there are naughty children who catch them, they are only taken to feed the ducks.
Because Xinzhou Village is backed by a large mountain range, it is a little more secluded. However, from the perspective of development, the new Zhou Village has more development value than the old Zhou Village. The shallow mountain area behind Xinzhou Village is rich in water and grass, suitable for raising cattle and sheep.
In addition to cattle and sheep, fruit trees can be planted in the low slopes around Xinzhou Village. When it blooms, it is also a sight. When the fruit is ripe, it's a different story.
As for the fruit trees, some chickens and geese are stocked, which can not only control weeds, but also remove insects. Moreover, the goose also has the reputation of "housekeeper goose", which can play an anti-theft role. When the time comes, not only can you harvest the fruit, but also get chickens and geese, which is definitely a win-win investment.
And the small hilly area under the gentle slope can climb some wild vines. Of course, some high-quality grapes also need to be planted. When the time comes, all the wild grapes will be used to make wine. If there is no market for high-quality grapes, they can also be used to make wine or must.
The above is where the new Zhou Village has an advantage over the old Zhou Village. And Li Xiaonuan has no clue about the plan to make for Jiuzhou Village, after all, she still has to take care of the whole village planting chili peppers.
No, not long after breakfast, three families came to the door.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, I heard that you are going to lead the whole village to plant new things together, is it true? What is that thing, what is it for, can it be eaten, and how does it taste? ”
As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Jingjing asked several questions in a row.
Li Xiaonuan smiled helplessly, even Aunt Huang, who had always been calm, couldn't laugh: "Ouch, Jingjing speaks really neatly." Such a long sentence does not come with ventilation. However, Jingjing did ask everything we wanted to ask. ”
Aunt Jingjing's aunt Liu also said: "Yes, we are really curious about what it is, so we came over together to ask." ”
Aunt Zhou nodded Jingjing's forehead and said angrily: "I haven't seen you so diligent in other things." After speaking, he asked Li Xiaonuan again, "Xiaonuan, your mother couldn't speak clearly yesterday, and we couldn't make up our minds for a while." Tell us what that is. ”
Li Xiaonuan was prepared. When Wei Yu sent the seeds, she had already sprinkled a small grab in the vegetable patch in the backyard. Now, those seeds are breaking through the ground, and the germination rate is quite high. The green of the tinted beans is dotted on the brown earth, and it looks good.
She led a few people to the backyard, pointed to the small area and said, "This is what I want you to grow together." Although it is only now budding, I can't see anything. But what I can tell you is that this thing is definitely an indispensable seasoning for every household in the future, and it can even be said to be a dish. ”
Because I don't know what kind of pepper these pepper seeds are, Li Xiaonuan can only explain it like this.
"It's not very clear what you say. We still don't get it. Why don't you give an example and tell me what this thing will look like in the future? Or how it tastes. Aunt Jingjing said.
Li Xiaonuan thought for a while and said, "Actually, there are many varieties of this pepper. I can't tell which variety it is just by looking at the seeds. However, I can tell you that some varieties of peppers are very spicy. There is no hemp of peppercorns, but it is much spicier than pepper. ”
After Li Xiaonuan said this, the image of chili pepper in everyone's hearts became clearer. Jingjing asked the bottom of the question: "What do those peppers look like?" ”
Li Xiaonuan replied: "Millet pepper refers to the heavenly pepper." Only in this way, one pointed straight to the sky, and when it was ripe, it was bright red. Horn pepper is ...... bigger than millet pepper"
An hour later, Aunt Zhou and the others happily walked out of the courtyard of the Li family. Li Xiaonuan sent them outside the door. Before leaving, Aunt Zhou and the others all said, "Xiao Nuan, we believe in you." If you have anything new in the future, remember to let us make a fortune together. ”
Compared with Aunt Zhou's trust, it is much more difficult for Li Zheng to do there. Since this matter involves the interests of the whole village, Li Zheng naturally has to act cautiously. But after Xiao Yang's eyebrows flew into a long speech, Li Zheng agreed to seriously consider it.
Li Zheng's reaction, Li Xiaonuan had already expected it. Therefore, she explained to Li Dad and them, and let Li Zheng make up his own mind. But they can propagate in the village on their own. If there are those who believe in them who are willing to plant with them, it is also possible.
Originally, in the first year, Li Xiaonuan just wanted to test the water. Only those who are bold and willing to take risks will be able to cooperate for a long time in the future. And those who are conservative and self-contained will only have to drink broth in the future.
The old lady came back from the hometown of several Zhou clans, and said with some annoyance that those people were very stubborn and did not want people from a village to take risks with the Li family.
Li Xiaonuan didn't care much when she heard it, she was planning to find an opportunity to make this matter public. When the time comes, it will be up to them to decide whether they will nibble on meat bones or just drink broth. (To be continued.) )
