Chapter 710: The chili pepper is ripe
The people live on food. At present, China is still in an agrarian society, and farmland is definitely the most concerned thing for the people of the whole country.
This is related to whether the big guy will have food to eat next year and whether he can eat enough. Therefore, from the king to the old farmers in the fields, they must be most concerned about grain production at this time.
In addition to sweet potatoes, Chen Fei obtained 1,000 pumpkins, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and pepper seedlings from the [Treasure Chest System].
Pumpkins, corn, and tomatoes have long passed the ripening season, and these crops were picked early, stored according to Chen Fei's previous instructions, and are currently placed in the storage room, waiting for Chen Fei to deal with them.
Potatoes are not yet planted in season, and now is the time when peppers and sweet potatoes are ripe.
It will take about a month for the sweet potatoes to be harvested, but the peppers are ripe just right, and the place where the peppers are planted in the field is red, causing passers-by to look sideways.
Some peasants working in the fields took advantage of the halfway break to look at the Chen family's pastoral field curiously and discussed a lot.
"What kind of strange things do you say the old Chen family grows? I picked a batch of fiery red fruits two months ago, and now I have grown these fiery red seeds, which I have never seen before! ”
"Haha! Yes, we have been dealing with the land for half our lives, but some of the things grown by the old Chen family have never been seen before. Did you eat that fiery red fruit last time? It is said that what is the name of tomatoes, Lao Chen is not a small basket for every household, not to mention, the fruit is sour and sweet, juicy and much, it is quite delicious, and it is even more delicious to cook soup and drink. The man next to him had a nostalgic expression, as if he had thought of something delicious.
Another smiled and said: "It tastes good, but I still think that pumpkin is delicious, and that corn, tsk, boil it and eat it before eating it is really fragrant to drool!" Next year, I will ask Lao Chen for seeds and grow some to eat! ”
"Haha, I told Lao Chen a long time ago, and he promised me a little bit of each seed, anyway, they can't plant so much."
"What? You actually secretly asked for seeds from Lao Chen, it's too much! ”
Another farmer laughed and quipped: "Who told you not to say it earlier, it is estimated that the seeds of the old Chen family have been booked by everyone at this time." Let's not talk about this for a while, the sweet potatoes will mature in another month, Lao Chen gave me a hundred seedlings, which can probably grow hundreds of sweet potatoes, that thing... Tsk, it drools just thinking about it! ”
Another person also wiped his saliva, revealing a yearning expression: "Yes, it makes people drool when you think about it, sweet potatoes are really magical, I didn't take care of them much, but I watered a little water during the drought in summer, I didn't expect the growth to be so good, it is said that sweet potato vines can also be eaten, but you must not waste it........"
Chen Fei stood not far away and listened to the two talk about his family's crops, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
After all, these crops are not for his own selfish desires, but to promote these things to the whole country, so that they can blossom and bear fruit everywhere in the country.
You must know that these are high-yield, high-yield crops, nutritious and rich, which can solve the problem of people's food and clothing to a large extent, and can enrich people's dishes, which is a great good deed and worth promoting. Maybe his Chen Fei's name will be passed down in future generations, or even thousands of generations, which makes people feel excited to think about it.
"Hehe, if the two uncles want seeds, they can go to my house and get them, I have prepared them for every neighbor." Chen Fei suddenly appeared behind the two, and the two peasant uncles hurriedly stood up and kept rubbing their hands, not knowing how to greet Chen Fei.
After all, Chen Fei is now a big official, and there is a gap between his identity and them, so he can't meet so casually.
Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the reaction of the two, so he had to tell the two old men again and again that they didn't have to care about those etiquette, everyone was a villager, he was a junior, and he should be commensurate with the etiquette of the junior.
This made the two farmer uncles flattered and moved, and then ...... It's still a mouthful of Lord Chen.
Chen Fei..........
After chatting with the two old men for a long time, Chen Fei finally smiled after learning that the new varieties he brought out had indeed been recognized by the big guys.
"It seems that it will be much easier to implement new varieties across the country!" He whispered, and then came to the field ******with a group of guards, that is, the sweet potatoes are growing very well, and the father and others already have planting experience, he doesn't have to worry at all, at this moment he walked in the place where the peppers were planted, and carefully watched the growth of the peppers.
What made him happy was that the chili peppers grew very well, like little red lanterns, hanging at the ends of the branches one by one, which reminded Chen Fei of the refreshing feeling after eating the chili peppers, and he couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Dad happened to take some farmers to do farm work on the farmland, and the fields were not only planted with peppers and sweet potatoes, but also wheat and other crops that normally needed to be planted.
Seeing Chen Fei coming to the field, Dad turned into one step in two steps, came to Chen Fei in the blink of an eye, and said worriedly: "Son, your body is not well, why did you get out of bed and come to the field?" Let's go back and rest. ”
"Dad, the child is in good condition, it's okay to go down to the field and walk, I don't work, just take a look." Chen Fei plucked a chili pepper from the branch and shook it in front of his father, "Dad, have you ever eaten this thing?" ”
Speaking of chili peppers, one of Daddy's faces immediately stretched longer than a donkey.
As soon as Chen Fei saw this expression, he knew that most of his father had eaten it, and he had "suffered a big loss".
"Humph! I'm embarrassed to say! What are you chili peppers? The first few vegetables are not bad, the yield is high, the taste is good, and everyone likes it. But I ate a bite of this chili pepper a few days ago, hey, hey, it made me spicy, my mouth was numb, how to eat this thing? Hurry up, you are not allowed to plant this next year, it is a waste of land, but it is a pity that such a large piece of fertile land is lost. Dad shook his head regretfully, looking at this large piece of land with grief.
"I know." Chen Fei spread his hands, he had already guessed his father's reaction, for a person who had barely eaten spicy food, it was very difficult to suddenly make him accept the taste, and pulling peppers was not like corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes can be eaten as a staple food, it is just a condiment.
But...... A smile rose at the corner of Chen Fei's mouth, this kind of thing is not wanted at first, but after eating it a few times, it will be addictive, and it will be inseparable from it, otherwise there will not be so many people crazy for a "spicy hot pot" in the future!
"Hehe, dad, don't be angry, this thing is chili...... Let's pick the peppers first, and I'll make a few more dishes for you to taste after they are dried, and you're guaranteed to love the taste! ”
"Humph! Don't think about it, I won't eat this! "Daddy is arrogant, he turned his head and left, leaving a lonely back......
