Chapter 61: Chili
Dongshan ran to Vanilla crying, and still said, "If my sister doesn't go, I won't go!" ”
"That's it!" Cheng Zhengde shouted, "What a big thing to quarrel about." Vanilla can go if she wants, but she also has to do things at home. ”
He also said to Sun, "You are also calculating, are you helping outsiders?" That's your daughter! Why don't you say that Vanilla and Dongshan ate out during this time and saved their rice at home? ”
Cheng Sun grinned angrily, but at this time, the family was all towards vanilla, and she was alone, and she even hated her daughter in her heart.
When going up the mountain the next day, Vanilla asked Higashiyama not to talk to anyone else about last night.
Dongshan asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”
Vanilla said: "You told others, everyone knows, and my mother is going to be even more angry." ”
Dongshan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll tell Sister Xianghua." She is smart and bold, and she helps her sister think of a way. ”
Vanilla shook her head: "Xianghua has only had so many unpleasant quarrels with her mother before, and if you quarrel with me again, it will be even worse." My mother has already agreed, so let's talk about it later. ”
Dongshan said: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely stand on your side!" ”
Vanilla touched his head and said with a smile, "Sister didn't hurt you in vain." ”
Since the first time she went to say hello, Xianghua has never been to the quail alone. But gradually, the number of quails who came to them to eat at night increased, and occasionally Dongshan Donglin couldn't help but move, and the quails were not afraid.
Xianghua said: "Every time we move a little to the villa, the quails will slowly follow, and when we get acquainted with it, we can live there." ”
Yan Gou nodded: "There seems to be geothermal heat over there, so the quails don't have to move in winter." ”
Donglin was curious: "Sir, what is geothermal energy?" ”
"Geothermal heat is when there is something underground, such as lava or something, that makes the ground warmer than the rest of the earth." Yan asked, "Didn't you notice?" ”
Dongshan said listlessly: "After the quail ran away, we didn't dare to go over there, and Dabao was guarding there." ”
Xianghua smiled: "Dabao bites people indiscriminately, I will teach him a lesson." If you want to see it, let's go and see it together. ”
When the group reached the fenced area, the quail's place was empty, but the peppers were still growing vigorously.
Yan Gou was well-informed, and he had seen the plant of chili pepper in some books, so he asked Xianghua: "Is this really brought by General Zhao Xu and Zhao Xiao?" ”
Xianghua said perfunctorily: "Well, he didn't bring it on purpose, I guess he forgot it himself." ”
Yan Gou looked at the knee-high, green pepper trees, on which hung green or red peppers, the short ones were about a finger long, and the long ones were as long as chopsticks, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"Xianghua, should you say that you are lucky or that you have a discerning eye, these chili peppers are treasures."
Xianghua covered her mouth and smiled: "I know this is a baby." ”
She turned to Vanilla and Dongshan and said, "Most of this year's peppers have been sold to Xiangmanlou, but I have left the seeds, and when I get them ready, I will give you some, and you will plant them too." ”
Vanilla heard Yan Gou say that the chili pepper was a treasure, and refused to accept it: "This is given to you by the little general, we can't take it for nothing." ”
Xianghua smiled: "I'm willing to give it to you!" If you go back and plant well, it is also an income, and it is good to subsidize the family. ”
Yan Gou saw that the fragrant flowers were bright and fair, and he had a good impression in his heart, so he said: "These peppers are still wild, uneven, and can be screened." ”
Xianghua nodded: "I also want to improve one or two, what to do is still for Mr. Yan's guidance." ”
Although Yan Gou had never done this kind of thing before, he was extremely talented and touchable, and he felt that this was not a problem.
When the quails are moving back into the fence one by one, the autumn harvest season will come.
Cheng Linchang and Taro were busy collecting things, and Xianghua brought tea and food on time, and their family's grain was quickly harvested.
Cheng Linchang said that he was going to help Cheng Linsheng's family, but Xianghua didn't say anything.
Yan Gou had a few days to spare, so he discussed with Xianghua to separate the pepper seeds, which ones were big and long, which ones were spicy, and which ones were sweet, and Xianghua dried them and put them away in different small cloth bags.
Xianghua thought that she should save money at the end of the year, and at that time she could buy a few plots of land and grow more grain and peppers.
Preserved eggs can also be fully responsible for her father, and it is more appropriate for her father to come forward with some affections, she has the final say in everything, and her father will indeed be underestimated by some people.
She didn't think of this layer before, she only wanted to protect her dearest people, and neglected her father's own situation and difficulties.
"Sister, quails are still laying eggs!"
Kanae holds a small wooden bowl with several small and cute quail eggs in it.
Xianghua looked at it with a smile, very pleased.
There was already a thin layer of frost on the leaves outside, and it was already early winter, and the ordinary quail had long since stopped laying eggs.
Yan Gou made many inferences about these industrious quails, sometimes saying that it was related to geothermal heat, sometimes saying that it was related to what quails eat, and sometimes saying that it was related to the geographical location and structure of the mountain, but he didn't make it clear for a while.
Xiangmiao saw that her sister was wearing a bright red shirt and was happy with her eyebrows, so she asked, "Is my sister going to town?" ”
Xianghua nodded and said with a smile: "You want to go, do you want to go?" ”
Xiangmiao grinned: "Donglin also wants to go." ”
Xianghua gently pinched Xiangmiao's little nose and said with a smile: "I'll go and discuss with my father, and if he agrees, you will join me." ”
Kanae clapped her hands and cheered: "Okay! Daddy will definitely say yes! ”
Xianghua and Cheng Linchang said that Donglin and Xiangmiao also wanted to go to the town to see, they were six years old and could go out to see the world.
Cheng Linchang didn't object, but said that there were many people in the town, and told the two of them to follow Xianghua and taro.
Xiangmiao and Donglin said in unison: "Okay! ”
Xianghua smiled: "The spirit is so good at this time, I can tell you that your butt will hurt when you take an ox cart into the city." ”
Donglin smiled: "I'm not afraid of pain!" ”
Kanae said, "I'm not afraid! ”
"Well, that's what you said." Xianghua said with a wicked smile.
The next day, the four of them set off early in the morning.
The road to the town was full of potholes, and Xianghua felt a pain in her butt when she hadn't been in an ox cart for a while, let alone the two little ones. But the two children remembered what they had said in the morning, and they writhed around on the ox cart, but they refused to cry out in pain.
In the end, Xianghua couldn't bear to see it, so she pulled out the mat under her ass and stuffed it under them, giving them a thicker pad.
Seeing this, Taro patted the one he was sitting on and handed it to Xianghua.
Xianghua asked, "Don't you feel a pain in your butt?" ”
Taro smiled: "I've long been used to it." ”
Xianghua took it with a smile and said, "Thank you." ”
When the four of them arrived in the town, they first went to Xiangmanlou for dinner.
