Fifty-seven The peppers are ripe
Now the pepper has grown, but it will definitely not make a lot of money just by selling it in the village.
She had to find a way to buy and sell in big cities like Linxian or Longkou Town......
Afterwards, Chu Jiao'er first picked some chili peppers from the ground, and then made some spicy pickles first, after all, these spicy pickles and plow rakes are quite famous in this area.
So Chu Jiaoer decided to sell chili peppers at tomorrow's Longkou Market.
And Zhang Dazhu recently received two orders for farming tools, so Chu Jiaoer could only sell them alone.
In this regard, Zhang Dazhu said that he wanted to go with this.
The result, of course, was Chu Jiao'er's refusal.
So the next day, Chu Jiaoer came to Longkouji with two wooden baskets on a flat shoulder.
I happened to see that Lin San's sister-in-law was rushing to the market.
"Third sister-in-law?" Chu Jiao'er stopped her.
Third sister-in-law Lin was a little surprised when she saw Chu Jiao'er, and then walked over happily: "Jiao'er, you are also here to catch the market!" ”
Chu Jiao'er shook her head: "I'll sell some pickles." ”
"You're making new pickles again?" Third sister-in-law Lin looked at the flat burden on her shoulder.
"I want to try to sell the chili peppers for takeout, but it's not enough to buy them in our village." Chu Jiao'er found a more remote position.
Lin San's sister-in-law helped her spread a blanket on the ground: "It's really amazing, I actually want to sell chili peppers to the town." ”
"I still want to sell it in Linxian." Chu Jiao'er said.
"Linxian? Sell it to my mother's house? Lin San's sister-in-law asked.
"It has nothing to do with whether it is my mother's family or not, the main reason is that there are many people in Linxian County, and there are many rich people over there, they have never tasted these things, if they sell them, they can make a lot of money." Chu Jiao'er said again and again, brought a stone and sat down.
When Lin San's sister-in-law heard this, her eyes rolled.
"This brain is quite powerful, but my sister-in-law may be able to help you sell it in Linxian County." Lin San's sister-in-law picked her eyes and said.
Chu Jiao'er looked at her when she heard this: "Third sister-in-law, do you have a way?" ”
"My cousin opened a restaurant in Linxian, and I heard that it is still the largest restaurant in Linxian, so I can help you figure it out." Aunt Lin blinked her eyes after speaking.
In this regard, Chu Jiaoer was very excited and grabbed Lin San's hand: "Third sister-in-law! ”
Lin San's sister-in-law was taken aback by Chu Jiao'er: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”
I saw Chu Jiao'er hugging her: "Thank you so much!! Wait! Today you come to my house and I will teach you a recipe for cooking vegetables with chili peppers! "The excitement came out.
"Really!? Do you want to teach me how to cook with chili peppers? Aunt Lin was instantly happy when she heard that she could learn new dishes.
Chu Jiao'er said: "Only teach you!" I promise that you and my third brother will want to eat it next time after eating it once! ”
"Oops! That's great! Aunt Lin glanced at the pickles in this basket: "Then when you sell all these pickles, go back and teach me!" ”
"Row !!"
With the arrival of June, the rainy season also intensified with the hot weather.
Time passed, and as Chu Jiao'er's spicy pickles became famous, chili peppers also spread in the surrounding villages.
And today it was finally a sunny day, and the path in the field was muddy and wet.
Chu Jiaoer and Dazhu carried two big baskets on their backs and decided to go to the field to collect all the peppers.
At first glance, there is a scene of red and green, with green wheat on one side and ripe peppers on the other.
Some villagers who were waiting to buy Chu Jiao'er chili peppers were waiting with baskets on the side.
Seeing this, Chu Jiao'er couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth.
Three acres of chili peppers, she has been carefully taking care of them in the past few months, and finally lived up to her painstaking efforts, each plant is full of chili peppers, and as far as the eye can see, it is vigorous.
"Come on, the chili pepper is twenty wen a pound, the freshly knotted chili!" Chu Jiaoer put the picked chili peppers into the big back basket, and the husband and wife picked them again and again and sold them.
Because they used to be one penny, twenty wen a pound is not expensive for the villagers.
Aunt Lin hurriedly leaned over when she heard the voice: "Hurry up and give me a catty!" ”
"I want it too!"
"Give me half a catty!"
Chu Jiao'er smiled, picked up the rod scale on the side, and said that she didn't know how to use this thing at first, this rod scale was used by her grandparents to weigh and measure things, and she basically used electronic scales in her era.
But under the guidance of Otake, this thing can be regarded as handy.
"Come to the third sister-in-law, you want a pound of chili peppers!"
"Jiao'er, if this is not spicy, I won't agree." Lin San's sister-in-law happily hugged the chili peppers in the basket.
Chu Jiao'er smiled: "That's too spicy, you and the third brother can't eat it." ”
"Don't be afraid! My family can eat spicy! Aunt Lin shook her head and smiled: "Okay, I'll hurry back and use this chili pepper to cook a meal for my family, I can make him hungry during this time." ”
"Come back after eating!" Chu Jiao'er shouted.
Although Chu Jiaoer used pickles made of chili peppers to sell chili peppers before, it seems that today there are not many villagers who come to the scene to buy chili peppers.
On the contrary, some people in the neighboring village came to watch with curiosity.
"Big bamboo, small Jiao." At this time, Zhang Erbo walked over with a cloth bag.
When the couple saw Uncle Zhang, they hurriedly greeted him: "Second uncle? How did you get here? ”
Chu Jiao'er asked.
Zhang Erbo's expression was still cold, but his eyes were a little warmer when he looked at the chili pepper.
"I don't have any chili peppers to eat at home, I'll come to your house to buy some." Zhang Erbo said and glanced at the names of other villages that were watching the excitement: "Why don't you buy some?" ”
The villagers hesitated when they saw that Zhang Erbo had also come to buy this chili pepper.
Chu Jiao'er hurriedly filled Zhang Erbo's bag with chili peppers. "Second uncle, are you enough to see these?"
"Enough, how much?" Zhang Erbo took out the money bag from his belt.
"You are my uncle and Dazhu's uncle, how can I charge you money, these chili peppers are our filial piety to you." Chu Jiao'er said, stabbing Zhang Dazhu with her elbow.
Zhang Dazhu nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Zhang Erbo didn't say anything, looked at the surrounding villagers, and then looked at the husband and wife in front of him, then nodded and left thoughtfully.
After Zhang Erbo left, Chu Jiao'er saw that the surrounding villagers had no intention of buying it, so she said: "Today's harvest of chili peppers, I will give everyone present a chili pepper, you can take it back and taste it." ”
I send it as soon as I hear it.
The surrounding villagers gradually leaned in.
"You ...... Is it the chili pepper used to make spicy pickles? One of the uncles asked.
Chu Jiao'er nodded and said: "That's it, this thing can not only pickle spicy pickles, but also be used for stir-frying, chicken, duck, fish, green vegetables and cabbage." ”
"Really?" Another uncle asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true! My daughter-in-law used this stir-fry for me to eat. "The person who came was Brother Cheng before, and Sister-in-law Cheng was also a frequent visitor who often came to buy Chu Jiaoer's pickles.
"Brother Cheng, you're here." When Chu Jiao'er saw the guests, she immediately smiled.
Brother Cheng looked at Chu Jiao'er's smiling face and was teased coldly.
Not to mention, this big bamboo daughter-in-law is really beautiful.
"Dazhu daughter-in-law, give me three catties!" Brother Cheng said quite broadly.
Chu Jiao'er continued to laugh and said, "I'm afraid that if I eat three catties, your throat and eyes will be smoking." ”
"Hey! Stop it! The first time I ate it, I got on fire, but I couldn't help it, the taste was too enjoyable! Brother Cheng spread his hands.
"Okay, but I can tell you in advance, this thing hurts when you eat too much, and it's easy to get angry." Chu Jiao'er warned him again and again while filling the cloth bag with chili peppers.
Brother Cheng said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not afraid!" Besides, if you don't have a second uncle, if you are really angry, go to the second uncle to get some fire medicine. ”
In this regard, Chu Jiaoer had no choice but to shake her head helplessly.
————————
"This big bamboo family is really getting more and more prosperous." Aunt Liu pouted.
followed by Aunt Qing and Zhang Li.
These three people are not used to looking down on Chu Jiao'er, watching Chu Jiao'er's family come and go all day long, and the fierce woman who was once spurned by everyone has become a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the villagers in a blink of an eye.
"Phew! Who knows what fox tricks were used, and my family was cursed by this fox spirit! Aunt Qing spat out
Zhang Li frowned and said, "What do you mean by this Zhang Yang?" In the past, Dazhu was bullied by his daughter-in-law like that, and he didn't care, but now that the two of them are doing well, he began to slap his nephew and daughter-in-law, was he poured some ecstasy by Chu Jiao'er? ”
"I think so! Hasn't the second child of the Zhang family always had a clear distinction between public and private? Last time, that big bamboo daughter-in-law came to me here to make soy sauce, and I didn't look at it and asked her to take more things! Did you know the results? That Zhang Yang actually protected his niece and daughter-in-law! Phew! What a clear distinction between public and private! Aunt Liu said viciously.
I really can't get used to this Zhang Yang, so I went out and became a petty official for a few days! What's so awe-inspiring! has a straight face every day, as if everyone owes him money!
"Don't let my family hear this, or he'll have to kick you out of the village." Aunt Qing admonished.
"I know, I'll tell you."
"Wow wow wow wow !! Wow wow! At this time, Zhang Xiaoya ran over crying.
I saw that Zhang Xiaoya's lips were swollen a lot, and not only that, but there were also a lot of small bumps on her face.
Seeing this, Aunt Qing hurriedly got up and walked over: "Ya'er! Yay! What's wrong with you!? ”
"Mother! I'm disfigured! Woo woo wow wow wow wow! Ya'er is disfigured!! Ya'er can't get married in the future! ”
"Ya'er! What the hell are you doing! Tell your mother! How did you get this!? Aunt Qing looked at her daughter nervously.
What a good girl, why did she suddenly become like this!?
"I just ate some chili peppers! Outcome...... And that's how it turned out! Wow wow wow wow!! Mother! What should I do? What should I do if my face becomes like this!! ”
"You said you ate chili?" Zhang Li walked over and said.
Zhang Xiaoya nodded aggrievedly.
"Hey! I just said this thing can't be eaten! These people are like picking up treasures! Aunt Liu said indignantly.
"No! I'm going to find that Chu Jiao'er! My daughter ate her chili pepper and became like this! I must make this clear to her!! ”
"Let's go! I'm with you!! ”
"Me too!"
At the same time, Chu Jiao'er, who was selling pickles with Dazhu in the field, saw Aunt Qing and her party walking in the distance, and her eyelids jumped suddenly.
"Chu Jiao'er!! Look at how much you pepper hurt my daughter!! Aunt Qing's voice was sharp and loud, and some villagers who bought chili peppers couldn't help but put down the chili peppers in their hands and stepped aside.
Chu Jiao'er frowned when she saw this, and Dazhu on the side was also vigilant.
Dazhu subconsciously looked at Chu Jiao'er, but the other party smiled and said, "It's okay, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
After speaking, she walked up to Aunt Qing.
"Aunt ......"
Before she finished speaking, the other party pushed Zhang Xiaoya in front of her: "You ruined my daughter's face!" Let's see what to do!! ”
