Chapter 146

During Li Xiaonuan's recuperation, Xiaoyang had already led people to open up the wasteland. She simply asked Xiao Gang to plant all those fields with chili peppers. Although it is a raw land, the pepper is not very demanding on the selection of land.

Li Xiaonuan asked Xiaoyang to continue to lead people to plough the land a few times, and then turned the soil layer over several times. As for the seedling cultivation land of chili peppers, it is a good land contributed by Zhou Liufei himself.

There was something on that land. In order to allow the people in the village to plant chili peppers as soon as possible, Zhou Liufei paid for the soybeans that had just been held in the three acres of land. Then, he ruthlessly pulled up all those soybean stalks.

Of course, all of that was done by his mother-in-law. Li Xiaonuan learned that Zhou Liufei pulled out three acres of edamame, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it. In the end, Zhou Liufei came up with an idea, that is, to sell spicy braised edamame.

As for some of the spices used in braised edamame, Li Xiaonuan provided them kindly. Three acres of soybeans, that amount is not ordinary. Moreover, there is no precedent for eating edamame like this. Therefore, everyone disagrees with Li Xiaonuan's advocacy of selling edamame.

But if it is not sold, the whole village will not be able to eat such a large amount. In order not to waste good beans, Zhou Liufei finally listened to Li Xiaonuan's words. Let the people pick some edamame first, and try to marinate a big pot.

Li Xiaonuan meant to let Zhou Liu fly to the city to find a restaurant or restaurant to sell on consignment. But Zhou Liufei resolutely let the people in the village try first. The results can be imagined. Except for a very few people who can't accept chili peppers and are really not interested, most people think that spicy edamame is quite delicious.

Since Zhou Liufei was still injured, there was no way to recommend those edamame beans in the city by himself. For this reason, Li Xiaonuan specially asked the Xiaoyang brothers to help him go to the Yingkelai Restaurant to promote once.

Originally, the shopkeeper who welcomed the guests liked these two brothers very much, and the matter was easily done. On the first day of the sale, Li Xiaonuan let the free tasting to increase its popularity. But those who tried it had a mediocre response.

Knowing that people's acceptance of new flavors takes a certain process, Li Xiaonuan is not worried. She asked Zhou Liufei to supply a small amount every day, and after the spicy food gradually became a trend, she was afraid that the three acres of edamame would not be enough to sell.

Later, Wei Yu took the initiative to come to the door, saying that he was at home and was willing to sell edamame. Li Xiaonuan was originally reluctant, but she didn't have many dried chili peppers here. In exchange, Li Xiaonuan agreed.

It's just that Li Xiaonuan asked Wei Yu to introduce chili peppers by the way while promoting edamame. That way, you can not only dispose of the edamame, but also advertise the upcoming chili peppers. Wei Yu agreed without thinking about it.

In this way, Li Xiaonuan successfully used edamame to promote the new species of chili pepper. After edamame became a must-have on the wine table, the whole city knew that there was such an irresistible foreign seasoning - chili.

This result was unexpected by the people of the entire Zhou Village. Many people who gave up planting regretted it and fought with Li Xiaonuan for the opportunity to plant. But Li Xiaonuan refused, after all, he said it clearly and couldn't break his promise.

Peppers, people who like to eat them, are almost addicted to it, and they lack its boringness. But people who don't like to eat, although they no longer reject it, still don't like to eat. Fortunately, people who love food have accounted for the vast majority.

Of course, Wei Yu has made a lot of efforts in promoting chili peppers. After all, Li Xiaonuan couldn't get so many chili peppers. Wei Yu finally reached a cooperation agreement with Li Xiaonuan on the planting and promotion of new crops by helping Li Xiaonuan exchange peppers.

In other words, in the future, whenever Wei Yu gets new crops that are conducive to people's livelihood, Li Xiaonuan will help plant and promote them. It's just that in this way, Li Xiaonuan is involved with Wei Yu again.

In the golden autumn and August, the peppers planted have formed a unique landscape in the whole Zhou Village. Because it is a new variety, the families who took the opportunity to plant it have built guardrails to protect their peppers from being harmed.

The green pepper seedlings are particularly vibrant in the autumn sun. Li Xiaonuan strolled on the wasteland of his house, looked at the pepper seedlings that were growing happily, and said to Li Dad, who accompanied him:

"Dad, look, there's a flower there. We'll be able to eat fresh peppers soon. ”

Father Li looked in the direction pointed by Li Xiaonuan, and sure enough, he saw a little white flower, which was blooming among the pepper leaves. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I can be regarded as seeing flowers." Otherwise, if you plant so many peppers and don't harvest at all, your family will be resented by the villagers. ”

"Dad, don't worry, this pepper is guaranteed to be harvested. I just don't know if these pepper varieties are the same kind. Li Xiaonuan said indifferently.

Father Li squatted down, tore off a few weeds, looked at the pepper field that was growing happily, and said longingly: "When the peppers are sold out on this trip, we will have money to buy more land." ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled: "Dad, how much land do you want to buy?" ”

Daddy Li looked at the land under his feet and said, "Just like the big manor you said before, Dad wants to buy so much land." In that way, the descendants of our family will not be like us, and they will not even be able to eat a full meal. ”

Li Xiaonuan knew Daddy Li's thoughts. He just felt that he was the one who made their family not have enough to eat, and he regretted it.

"Dad, are you really going to kiss Xiaoyang? Xiaoyang has only been in school for a long time, and he hasn't even taken a children's exam. Why don't you wait two years and then say hello to him? Li Xiaonuan hurriedly changed the topic.

Father Li glanced at Li Xiaonuan deeply and said, "Why are you in a hurry to say goodbye to Xiaoyang." It's not because of you. Tell me what you want to do now, right? ”

Li Xiaonuan saw Daddy Li's unhappy face, and hurriedly flattered: "Dad, I don't have a lot of things to do, so I'm not in a hurry." Besides, you also know my reputation, what kind of good family can I marry. It's better to wait for our family's life to be over, and you can buy a good dowry, and maybe there will be good people willing to marry me. ”

Father Li thought for a while and sighed: "Xiao Nuan, tell me why Liu Fei is not in your eyes, ah?" ”

It turns out that Daddy Li is waiting for her here.

"Dad, Brother Liu Fei is good at everything. It's just that I can't agree to marry him. At least not yet. What do you think, how long has it been since Brother Liu Fei came back, and you are in a hurry to marry me, a daughter who has been retired twice, to him, don't others want our family to bully other orphans. Li Xiaonuan explained the reason.

Dad Li actually knew that he was in a hurry. But that's not because Li Xiaonuan is old. In a few days, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Xiaonuan will be twenty years old. As a parent, there is no one who is not in a hurry.

Of course, Li Xiaonuan knows what her parents are thinking. But she really doesn't want to marry now. She also wants to do more for her family. At least, the manor has to be built. Moreover, she smelled something bad from Zhou Liufei.

For example, the last time by the pool, when Li Xiaonuan passed by Zhou Liufei's side, his stiffness at that moment and the thick murderous aura he exuded. Li Xiaonuan thinks that her sixth sense is very accurate. Therefore, there must be something unknown about Zhou Liufei that is bothering him.

Before figuring out that incident, Li Xiaonuan thought that Zhou Liufei was definitely dangerous and should not be approached. Aside from that incident, Li Xiaonuan felt that Zhou Liufei was indeed a good person. If she has to marry in this life, then Zhou Liufei is undoubtedly the best candidate. (To be continued.) )
