Since the Lin family can't be fully trusted yet, let them get busy.
If you want to get a good harvest from peppers, you have to put in a lot of energy during the process, including seedling cultivation, transplanting, replenishing seedlings, multiple topdressings in the later period, etc. Basically, if the Lin family starts to grow peppers, most of their time will be spent in the ground.
Especially for people like the Lin family who have never been exposed to farm work before, they must carefully care for the crops in the field.
"Chili pepper?" Lin Siyu was confused, "What is that?"
Lu quickly explained, "It's a dish passed down from foreign countries. It tastes very spicy, but the fried meat is especially delicious! This is what Miss Six asked us to grow, so it's worth a lot of money!"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she immediately became energetic and pulled Shen Qingqian for questioning.
After confirming that growing chili peppers could support their family, Ms. Qi finally felt relieved, "I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in the fields. Siyu, Siqi, Siyun, you should learn more from Sister Qian in the future."
Several girls from the Lin family quickly agreed, looking at Shen Qingqian with extremely hot eyes.
Shen Qingqian got goosebumps when she saw it, and she quickly said: "Aunt Qi, you can't plant peppers on the same piece of land every year. It's best to plant them in rotation with other crops. You can plant them in rotation with tomatoes. "
Both of these are vegetables in large demand in restaurants in northern Hubei. Of course, many people also regard cherry tomatoes as fruits.
Moreover, the caravan formed in northern Hubei also planned to take these two items and export them to the tribes outside the customs, and sell them during the trip one month after departure.
As for the preservation of this kind of fresh goods, Shen Qingqian planned to use saltpeter and coarse salt to solve the problem.
She hasn't discussed this matter with Shengze yet, so let's talk about it now.
"What is a cherry tomato?" Lin Siyu asked again.
She suddenly felt that since she came to Shen Qingqian and the others, they seemed to be always exposed to new things.
This time the ginger dog egg was explained to her, "It is also a species introduced from other countries. It is bright red, sour and sweet, and tastes really good."
"Can this also be sold to caravans?" Qi was most concerned about the issue of money.
Because Shen Qingqian just told her that if she wanted to make more money, she had to grow more peppers, and if peppers needed to be planted in rotation, the price of small tomatoes as a rotation crop was very important.
Jiang Goudan nodded, "Of course, the thing our family grows most this year is cherry tomatoes."
Yun Zhongxian's order has been negotiated long ago, and they can make a lot of money as soon as the fields start harvesting!
Mrs. Qi was greatly relieved when she heard this, "That's good, then we won't have to worry."
After saying that, she took Shen Qingqian's hand and said with great gratitude: "Sister Qian, thank you so much!"
Mrs. Qi knew in her heart that they just didn't abandon Mrs. Xiao and Shen Yao on the way, and they didn't help the mother and daughter that much.
It can only be said that the Shen family was too kind and took such good care of them that the Qi family had no shame in agreeing to allow the Shen brothers to help them dig up the land.
"Aunt Qi, you're welcome." Shen Qingqian smiled and shook her head.
Mrs. Qi said a few more polite words to her, and then asked Lin Siyu and the others to start picking up stones in the ground, while the children were responsible for pulling up weeds.
The Lin family is also lucky. The heavy rain last year made their land suitable for farming.
The soil of this land is much softer than that of Jiang Goudan and the others. The Lin family talks about opening up wasteland, but in fact, they only need to pick up the stones in the land and dig them over with a plowing tool, and they can plant seeds in the land immediately. thing.
Now that Shen Qingqian is here, it is of course impossible for him to go back after looking at the ground. Naturally, he helps to clean up the ground first, and then helps to turn over the cleared area before stopping to rest.
She looked at her hands, her eyes full of thought.
