Chapter 56: Buying the Swamp
Xue Mu had never seen this kind of thing before, and even if she saw it, she wouldn't use it to cook.
But after Xue Wu's skillful hands, these have become delicious.
So when Xue Wu brought back the chili pepper, which looked red and glamorous and looked poisonous, Xue Mu and the others were already very calm, and even looked forward to what she could do with this thing.
In the evening they knew.
Xue Wu made a dish of boiled pork with chili peppers.
"Eat slowly, this dish is a little spicy, you may not be used to it." She reminded everyone in advance.
Needless to say, everyone felt a little excited when they smelled the smell, but out of trust in her cooking skills, everyone still had the courage to try.
Xue Yao was the first to clip it, and the moment the meat slice was eaten in his mouth, the spicy taste exploded in his mouth, which was too exciting for people who ate spicy food for the first time!
But the more I ate it, the more I ate it, the more spicy and energetic, and I couldn't stop at all.
Except for Xue Jun, who needed to be avoided, the rest of the people ate very happily.
Even Xue Mu, who has always had a light diet, couldn't help but taste several slices.
Xue Jun looked greedy, her eyes couldn't help but glance into the bowl of boiled pork slices, Xue Jun looked weird and couldn't bear it, and gave her an idea: "Put the meat slices in the tea and eat them again, although the taste will be much lighter, but you can taste it anyway." ”
Xue Jun tried according to the method she taught, but she was still so spicy that she stuck out her tongue.
A small face was red with spicy.
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
After the pepper passed the bright road, Xue Wu moved the pepper tree that had grown into a small tree out of the space the next day, carried it back to her home and planted it in the backyard.
Then, every two days, she will "develop" a spicy dish.
Ten days later, Xue Wu felt that the time was almost ripe, so she gathered the family together and told her that she wanted to build a vegetable garden to grow chili peppers.
It stands to reason that she knows all kinds of dishes, and she should open a small restaurant, but she doesn't plan to do this, first, she likes to cook well, but she doesn't want to become a tool person who cooks, and she makes money from this all day long, which is too tiring, and she prefers to study new dishes in comparison.
Occasionally sharing the dishes you have researched with your family and friends and enjoying them is the right way for a foodie to open up.
Second, if you don't have any foundation in your own family, you may offend someone if you rashly enter the restaurant circle to steal business in the market, or you will encounter ruffians and hooligans who collect protection money, etc., it will be miserable.
What the? Regarding Yue, the head catcher in those ruffians dare not come to provoke their own restaurants? Guan Yue is not one of hers, it is impossible for her to trouble others as soon as she encounters something.
So after thinking about it comprehensively, she decided to build a vegetable garden to sell vegetables, which is more low-key and unsightly.
However, for Xue's mother, her statement was: "Although our family is an Orion, but now that my father is not here, we can't do this for a long time, we still have to find a long-term business student, I think about it and think that I don't do it, just plant the peppers I accidentally found in the mountains, this kind of vegetable has not been discovered by others, and no one will compete with us if we sell it." Secondly, you all tasted my dishes made with chili peppers, and you don't have to say what it tastes like, right? ”
Xue Yao is the most accepting of spicy, and he lowered his head when he heard the words.
"So there's no need to worry about the sales of chili peppers. Mother, what do you think? ”
Xue Mu: "Since you have thought it through, then go for it, my mother supports you." ”
Xue Yao and Xue Jun also expressed their support for their sister.
As for Pei Lian, he would never object to Xue Wan's words.
And so it was settled.
The family discussed some details, and the next day Xue went to the county seat and bought the swamp a few miles north of Shanghe Village.
The swamp faces Shangyang Lake, the largest lake in Fengchi County to the east, a small wild forest on the west side, and a low mountain on the north side.
The swamp is overgrown with water and grass, and there are large areas of reeds, and it is a place where wild ducks and other creatures live, and there are often villagers who come to pick wild duck eggs and reed sticks, etc., and it is a purely wild land that does not create any economic value for the prefecture.
So when I heard that Xue Wu was going to buy this piece, Zhang Zhushu could be said to be quite happy, and sold it to her at an extremely low price, which can be said to be half sold and half given.
After a series of operations such as buying land, giving favors, and inviting dinner, Xue Wu spent less than a hundred taels of silver in total.
When she got the title deed, she looked at it again and again, and was very excited.
Guan Yue couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw her like this, "What are you going to do when you buy that piece of land?" It was all swamps, and there wasn't even a plot of inferior fields. ”
Xue Wu winked at him, and her tone was mysterious: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
What happened to the swamp? Swamps can also be turned into treasures.
Back in the village, Xue Wu carried a few gift boxes and went to the village chief's house with Pei Lin and told her about buying land.
"Grandpa, I want to hire someone in the village to help me fill in the swamp, so that I can use it for farming, and I beg you to help me in the village. The salary is 30 wen a day, including two meals for breakfast and lunch, and the age should be between 16 and 40, if you are willing to come, you will come to my house tomorrow morning (8 o'clock) to sign up. ”
When the village chief heard this, this is a good thing!
Thirty wages a day, and two meals, where to find such a job?
He agreed, "No problem, I'll promise to notify every household in the village." ”
After leaving the village chief's house, Xue Wu asked Pei Lian to go back first, and she went to the fat aunt's house again.
She also planned to choose from the women in the village who cooked for the workers, but she didn't know much about the women in the village, so she planned to ask for help from the fat aunt.
"I want to ask the fat aunt to recommend me a few aunts who can cook in the village, Ming'er you will bring people over, I will leave three people after I see them, and then these three people will be under your control." Your salary is the same as those men's, 30 yuan a day, and 20 yuan a day for the others. ”
The fat aunt didn't expect this kind of good thing to take the initiative to find her, so she was so happy that her chubby face was flushed, and she immediately patted her chest and said, "Yes, I'll bring someone over to show you tomorrow." ”
"Then Aunt Lao will have to worry more."
"What's the trouble, it's too late for me to be happy." The fat aunt smiled and sent her out all the time, watching her go away, and didn't go back to the house, she raised her feet and went directly to the house of an acquaintance.
The news that Xue Lao'er's family had bought the swamp land in the south of the village and had to hire someone to fill it up soon spread in the village.
The villagers were very excited and talked about it.
