After seven or eight days of harvesting, Liu Paner's more than 30 acres of rapeseed were all threshed and dried out after exposure to the sun.

The wooden shovel scooped up the rapeseed and raised it gently, and the wind in the air blew, taking away the fine shell dust from the rapeseed.

The cleaned rapeseed is packed into a tight bag and placed in a dry warehouse for easy preservation.

At the beginning, the villagers planted a lot of rapeseed and harvested a lot. Even the later batch, most of the wasteland that was opened up was planted with rapeseed, but relatively late. But it will take a few more days before it matures.

The harvest season is accompanied by exhaustion, but more joy than not.

The rapeseed grains in Jixiang Village are full, and some people come to Jixiang Village to collect rapeseed, bidding six yuan a catty, which is one penny more expensive than ordinary rapeseed.

However, when the people of Jixiang Village learned that Liu Paner's family was preparing to build an oil mill, they resisted the urge to sell the rapeseed.

Although most of the villagers are not very smart, they know that Liu Paner's residue workshop is definitely more cost-effective than selling rape to other oil mills.

Li Rong is in charge of managing the oil mill, although the oil mill has not yet been built, but she has already publicized it. Not only the people of Jixiang Village know about the oil mill, but even several surrounding villages are also paying attention, hoping to buy cheap and high-quality oil.

Li Dabao followed Carpenter Wang and Carpenter Zhou to build an oil extraction workshop every day, used a grinding disc, and customized a grinding disc with Li Stonemason.

Step by step, according to Liu Paner's drawings. After all, it is the first time to build, and the speed is not fast, and it will not be built well for a while and a half.

People often come to the neighborhood to watch, and don't understand why it is built in a place where the water is fast, isn't it afraid of flooding?

With doubts, everyone waited and waited, and the oil extraction workshop did not use manpower and animal power.

Liu Paner went to see it in the morning, and asked Li Rong and Li Dabao at the dinner table in the evening. At other times, she urges the long-term workers to plough the land and apply fertilizer.

Liu Paner took out the carefully placed pepper seeds and soaked the pepper seeds.

After the seeds are soaked in clean water for four or five hours, then soaked in a one-hundredth-copper sulfate solution for five minutes, the seeds are removed and rinsed with clean water before sowing or accelerating germination, or soaked in one-hundredth-life lime before sowing to neutralize the acidity before sowing.

In addition, after the seeds are dried, a small amount of hydrated lime powder or straw ash is mixed before sowing, which can effectively avoid anthracnose and scabbing.

Do this in advance to prevent pepper disease as much as possible.

Liu Paner looked at these soaking seeds and thought of Li Yuanqing.

After Tang Yunshan came to Jixiang Town, the retired soldiers on Li Yuanqing's list came one after another.

Tang Yunshan chose a strong and clever Niu Dashan to send a message to the northwest.

Liu Paner not only prepared clothes for Li Yuanqing, but also brought a few catties of chili seeds, and wrote down the planting method and the method of boiling mutton fat chili seeds.

Among them are also melon and croissant seeds, watermelon seeds.

Liu Paner doesn't know if she can grow it, she will know if she tries it.

With these seeds, it can be planted on the northwestern side.

At that time, Li Yuanqing will be able to eat chili peppers in the northwest, as well as meals made with chili peppers.

Accompanied by her letters, there are also letters written by Mrs. Guo to her brother.

Just drop by and send it together.

Once dried and properly stored, chili peppers can sit for a long time and be able to sell farther away at a higher price.

On the contrary, things such as melons and melons and watermelons are not suitable for long-distance transportation, so they can only be sold locally. Planting too much, can't sell at a price, can't make money, and is not cost-effective.

Therefore, Liu Paner adjusted in time and prepared to plant more peppers.

Liu Paner soaked almost all the remaining pepper seeds and raised them on fertile soil.

People in the village want to grow chili peppers, so they can come and buy chili seedlings.

Zhou Cuihua, Village Chief Li and Li Dashan, after dinner, came over for a walk.

The gate of Liu Paner's house is the most spacious, and many people like to chat here.

Zhou Cuihua asked: "Yuan Qing's family, now the rapeseed in the field has been harvested one after another." In this dry field, do we grow sweet potatoes or peppers? ”

Village Chief Li added, "By the way, there is also that melon and melon, which your family sold very well last year." Now there is more and more land in the village, and I want to grow things that are more profitable. We'd all like to come to you for an idea. ”

Liu Paner originally wanted to discuss with Village Chief Li, but now everyone took the initiative to put it forward, and they were in the middle of it, "My family's existing dry fields, I am going to plant all the peppers." Wait until those spices are harvested, and then plant melons and melons. According to last year's planting, although the melons and melons grow quite a lot, they are not suitable for long-distance transportation, and at most they can be bought in Xunyang Mansion. But chili peppers are different, they are dried, they can be kept for a long time, and during transportation, as long as they are moisture-proof, there is no need to worry about bumps. ”

Li Dashan laughed and said, "My family also grows chili peppers, and this thing sold for thirty wen a pound last year." This is only sold in Cuiyang County, other places are more expensive, easy to transport, too much planting, and there is no need to worry about breaking down on the road. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, the villagers want to make money, just make more money, "My suggestion is this, all the pepper seeds at home have been raised." Soon after, it will be ready for transplantation. As for melons and melons, you can also grow some in front of your house and behind your house and eat them at home. The yield of chili peppers is between 2,000 and 3,000 catties, not as much as melons and melons. Anyway, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, you decide. ”

When everyone thought that chili peppers were sold for 30 yuan a pound last year, coupled with good transportation, many people chose to plant chili peppers in dry fields like Liu Paner.

As for melons and melons, if there is no land to grow, then plant them in front of the house and behind the house, and their own family will have a sweet mouth.

In the end, Liu Paner said to everyone with a smile: "This pepper seedling is raised by my family, and it is also my family's seed, so it costs a penny to plant, and one acre of land needs about 3,000 plants." If you want to come and buy, come and register with me as soon as possible. Pepper seedlings are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis in the order they are registered. ”

Although everyone didn't think about getting pepper seedlings for free, after all, such a rare thing, empty gloves white wolf, is not like words.

But for one penny and one plant, one acre of land needs three thousand plants, which is three taels of silver per acre of land. The family has ten acres of dry land, and it takes thirty taels of silver to buy pepper seedlings alone.

Now most of everyone's money is built to build houses and shops, how can they have money to buy chili seeds?

Although everyone knows that peppers are expensive, they can't afford to grow them at this time.

Li Er was stunned and slapped his thigh, "Yuan Qing's family, this price is fair, I, Li Er, am stunned to admit this price." It's just that I'm more worried, if we plant chili peppers, can we still sell them for 30 yuan a pound in the future? ”

The others were originally angry, thinking that Li Er was too stunned, and actually felt that the price of chili seedlings was not high. But after hearing it, they are also very concerned about the price of chili peppers in the future.

If you can buy 30 wen a catty, even if there is only a 1,000 jin output per mu of land, you can earn 30 taels of silver per acre. In this comparison, there are only three taels of silver pepper seedlings per acre of land, which is not much.

Everyone's eyes looked at Liu Paner, waiting for Liu Paner's answer.
