Chapter 0113 The peppers have been harvested
The old king of the vegetable garden has been busy all September.
They have to prepare for the winter storage of vegetables.
With Lu Changhua's consent, they also found a few women to help collect the vegetables.
If the green onions are not harvested, they will bloom and set seeds.
Pull out the green onions, remove the soil from the roots, and cut off the upper half of the green onion leaves with a knife, leaving the white onion at the root and a small part of the leaves.
After all the green onions have been processed, they are transferred to the warm cellar where the winter vegetables are stored.
This cellar was dug right next to the adobe house.
The ground is covered with a layer of fine sand.
The green onions are buried in the fine sand, revealing only the leaves.
The garlic became a braid, hanging under the eaves of the adobe house, like a curtain on the door.
The Chinese cabbage was removed from the roots and washed and pureed, and more than 20 jars of sauerkraut were pickled, which is also the main dish in winter.
Chinese cabbage was also sent to the Han family, the Li family, and the Zhang family, and the rest was stored.
The potatoes are pureed and dried, packed in woven bags and stacked on shelves.
Eggplant is processed.
Cut into long strips, dry and set aside.
Cucumbers and tomatoes are just as much as you can eat.
Except for sending some to the company's related households, they are all stored in cardboard boxes.
As for the radishes and carrots, they were removed from the mud and buried in the sand.
The most troublesome thing is the pepper that Lu Changhua asked to plant.
Think about how many chili peppers you get from nine acres of land?
Peppers must be dried to preserve them.
In order to ensure the spiciness of the chili peppers, they can only be harvested after the National Day.
Peppers need to be picked by hand.
Except for the two left-behind personnel in the reservoir, they all came to help collect it.
Baskets of chili peppers are plucked and poured on a bitter cloth.
While the sun is still very hot at noon, I want to dehydrate the chili peppers.
Lu Changhua dried the chili peppers, borrowed more than a dozen pieces of bitter cloth from the drying field, and spread them directly in the soybean field in the north of the road.
It's the only place where it can be rolled out.
The bitter cloth was red and red, and most of the plot was dyed red.
I heard that Lu Changhua harvested a lot of chili peppers, and Han Jianhua and Li Zhenguo came to see the freshness.
"Xiao Lu, you have a good harvest of chili peppers!"
"I'm just going to do an experiment to see if I can grow it, who knows if it's okay!"
Lu Changhua himself did not expect that Hunan's chili peppers would be able to bloom and bear fruit in the northeast.
"It's a good project to grow peppers."
Li Zhenguo said.
He knows that southerners love chili peppers, and northeasterners eat less, so they don't plant much.
"Xiao Lu, if someone grows chili peppers, will you harvest them?"
Han Jianhua looked at him and asked.
"I haven't thought about this yet."
Lu Changhua thought about planting it himself, but he didn't think about others planting it and harvesting it himself, Director Han's words reminded him.
That's right.
If I can grow it, so can others.
If they grow it, I will harvest it directly, and it will not be much different from my own planting.
"Director, if anyone really wants to grow chili peppers, I will accept them, but the standard must meet my standards."
"Of course."
Han Jianhua was happy when he saw that Xiao Lu agreed to buy it.
Looking at the red peppers all over the ground, Han Jianhua felt that as long as the planting of peppers was on a large scale, he would be able to achieve results.
"Director, will this conflict with the farm's dairy farming policy?"
Lu Changhua was worried that the farm would not support it.
"What's this conflict? Those who should raise cattle still raise cattle, and those who don't want to raise cattle must have a way out! ”
Han Jianhua knew that although there was a bumper grain harvest this year, the purchase price was too low.
A bumper grain harvest does not mean that workers can make a profit.
Judging from the price information fed back from the grain depot, it is good that the workers can not lose money this year.
It is such a bumper harvest year, and many employees are still losing money.
You say, if grain prices are not adjusted for a few more years, who will still farm?
What do the employees eat and drink?
Han Jianhua's hair turned completely white.
Looking at Director Han, who had been worried about the farm and workers all his life, Lu Changhua's nose was sour.
"Director, as long as the farm doesn't object, I'll take it!"
"How much is the yield per acre?"
Han Jianhua is still concerned about output and price.
"We have passed the scales, and we have 1,900 pounds."
"Huh? So much?! ”
This output made Han Jianhua's eyes shine.
"How many dried chili peppers can you produce?"
"About five pounds and one pound."
"Hiss~"
Han Jianhua and Li Zhenguo both took a cool breath.
One acre of land can produce 380 catties of dried chili peppers.
5,700 pounds of land.
"What about the price?"
"The purchase price in Hunan is no more than one cent, plus freight and labor, the cost is two cents, and we will not exceed three cents here."
This gross income is not high, 1,701!
Han Jianhua and Li Zhenguo both frowned.
Seeing this, Lu Changhua spoke in detail.
"Director, captain, don't look at this gross income, it's better to farm, but now you have to lose money if you don't get the cost of farming."
"Growing chili peppers doesn't require machinery, and it's no problem for a family to serve one or two chicks."
"It's just that I can't digest it if I plant too much."
"yes, I can't force you, let's let it go beforehand."
Both of them shook their heads and left, feeling that they were still unreliable.
It seems that the matter of growing chili peppers is mainly a marketing problem.
I'm not an old godmother, and I don't know how to make chili sauce! Besides, growing chili peppers to make chili sauce in the Northeast seems to be a bit of a joke.
He also felt that this matter was unreliable.
Let's raise fish yourself.
Ay? Why doesn't anyone come to fish with him?
As soon as Lu Changhua pondered it, he understood.
Fish farming isn't something that anyone can raise.
Fish farming must first have a suitable site, and now there are a lot of barren beaches on the farm, but who will invest in digging their own fish ponds?
In the Northeast, rivers are everywhere, and there are many wild fish.
Many people have the habit of fishing and touching shrimp during their leisure time.
It is said that fishing and shrimp feed the whole family!
That's true.
In the 80s, when there was no meat, farm workers relied on hunting wild fish for tooth sacrifices.
Lu Changhua remembered that in his previous life, the family had not eaten meat for nearly a year.
Dad took the two brothers to a good friend's house to eat meat.
Who knew that when you walked into a river, a wild duck flew up.
Dad threw the wooden stick in his hand to find the way.
Coincidentally, it hit a wild duck.
The three of them happily went home with the wild duck in their arms.
The whole family ate a delicious meal of meat, which was regarded as a tooth sacrifice.
It's not that the workers don't want to raise fish, but where are the ready-made reservoirs?
Like a three-point field, just such a reservoir, Lu Changhua has contracted it, and others have to have a place to raise it!
For this trouble, Lu Changhua didn't have any tricks.
He couldn't have dug a fish pond for people to raise fish, right?
Han Jianhua and Li Zhenguo left disappointed, and he also felt powerless.
Now the purchase price of chili peppers is so low, there is no way to do it.
After more than ten days of drying, the red pepper on the bitter cloth has been dried and warped, and it is gently shaken in the hand, and it makes a loud sound.
These dried chili peppers are packed in woven bags and piled up like a hill at the head of the house.
On this day, Lu Changhua found Lao Lu and came to transport chili peppers with double hanging.
He left a few bags of chili peppers to eat for himself.
Everything else was loaded into the car.
Dried chili peppers occupy the space, and the vehicles have long been over-high.
"Get on the rope."
Da Hong Erhong put the hemp rope together and inserted a pole on the carriage and twisted it.
The chili bag was strangled with a few deep marks.
As concocted, both trailers tightened their ropes.
Lao Lu ran in front, and Lu Changhua drove a jeep to follow, so he was afraid that the peppers would fall.
Today he sent the big carp earlier.
Rushing to the boiling fish village, Lu's mother was startled.
Seeing that his son was coming with Lao Lu to deliver chili peppers, he beckoned a few waiters to follow him to unload the car.
In the past few months, in addition to Fei Fish, Boiling Fish Village is Fei Chili.
The more than 1,000 catties of Hunan peppers that Lao Lu bought at the beginning have long been gone.
Later, Wu Qiang transported more than 4,000 catties, and now there are still a few hundred catties left.
Old Lou was so anxious that he was sweating.
If there is no chili pepper, how can he do his boiling big carp?!
Wu Qiang is also out of stock now.
He had to go into the winter to harvest it.
At the beginning, I asked my son to plant some chili peppers at home, but I was also lucky, thinking that if I could do it, I would be able to save the emergency in an emergency.
Sure enough, it's just in time to grow my own peppers.
This time, more than 3,000 catties were sent, which solved his urgent need.
"Quick, quick, get it into the warehouse."
Everyone carried the bags of chili peppers into the warehouse.
The storehouse that was to be empty was suddenly full again.
"Dad, you keep all the pepper seeds, we have to grow them ourselves next year, the quality of this pepper should be okay, you try."
"Okay, it just so happens that Lao Lu is also here, let him taste our boiling big carp."
"Okay, I've heard that your family has opened a restaurant in the city, and I haven't been here yet, so let's try Lao Lu's craftsmanship today!"
Lu Changhua accompanied Lao Lu into the private room.
Thirty-six square meters of luxurious private room, just Lu Changhua and Lao Lu.
"Changhua, this, this is too luxurious, we don't need such a big place."
Look at this table, the big round table of sixteen.
There is a sofa, coffee table, color TV.
The wine cabinet is full of Moutai Wuliangye, these liquors.
There is a waiter waiting in the private room.
After a while, a young man came in with a copper basin at the door.
"Hello, sir, this is the famous dish of our fish village, boiling big carp, and our master will personally oil you in a while."
With that, the lad went out.
The waitress approached.
"Two gentlemen, what kind of wine do you drink?"
She gestured with her hand in the direction of the wine cabinet.
"Master Lu, what do you want to drink?"
"I can do anything."
"Hehe, today is the first time you have eaten at Yuzhuang, let's drink Moutai."
The waiter said "Okay", took out a bottle of Moutai, and held the bottle in both hands to show it in front of Lu Changhua and Lao Lu.
"Two gentlemen, the mouth of the Moutai bottle is intact and the trademark is intact."
"Can I turn it on, please?"
Lao Lu was confused by the actions of the beautiful waiter.
He looked at Lu Changhua and didn't know how good he was for a while.
"Master Lu, is this bottle okay?"
"Yes, you can."
"Open it."
Lu Changhua signaled.
The waiter opened the bottle and poured it into the wine cup and put it in front of Lu Changhua and Lao Lu.
At this time, the door opened, and Lao Lu came in with a spoon with a smile.
"Lao Lu, just open your eyes!"
He poured boiling oil from the horsespoon into the copper basin.
Zilala~~
An alluring aroma rushes straight to the nose.
Lao Lu's saliva immediately flowed out.
