Su Ningjie picked six tomatoes, a handful of chili peppers, and six hot peppers, put them in a small backpack, and spread a layer of alfalfa on top.
It looks like it was picked up from Wufeng Mountain.
The eldest brother and his younger sister often go to the back mountain as if they were picking up rare ingredients.
Then he locked the backyard gate and arranged for his follower Wei Ying to wait outside the Su family courtyard.
"Young Master, let me carry you on my back."
Seventeen-year-old Wei Ying was assigned by Lu Yuan to protect Su Ningjie.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any work farming in Guihua Village today, so I could only sit outside the Su family's courtyard bored. Following the young master was even more leisurely than before.
Su Ningjie glanced at him and said, "It's not heavy, I can carry it. You'll be busy in the future, so just stay here."
After saying this, Su Ning'an quickly walked towards the villagers in the distance.
"Aunt Song, this is what they look like."
As soon as the backpack landed on the ground, the villagers stretched their necks to surround it.
Su Ningjie pulled apart the alfalfa and took out a tomato. "These red fruits are tomatoes. You can eat them directly or use them to scramble eggs."
Mrs. Song took it and looked at it carefully, then smelled it and asked, "Are you sure this isn't a kind of fruit?"
"This is a tomato, a vegetable that looks like a fruit. You can try it now."
Mrs. Song glanced at the backpack and said, "There aren't many to begin with, so let's not waste them."
Su Ningjie bent down and took out another tomato from the backpack and stuffed it into Mrs. Song's hand. He also handed over two sharp peppers and a small amount of chili peppers.
"These green and red ones are chili peppers, which are used as seasonings. They're very spicy, especially the red chili peppers, which are so spicy they'll make you cry. They can be used as dipping sauces or stir-fried dishes. And the green ones are called pointed peppers, which can be used to stir-fry pork..."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Su Ningjie introducing things to the villagers in a serious manner. He looked like a little salesman, and couldn't help but curl his lips. People who make a lot of money have been able to sell since childhood.
"Are they really that delicious when cooked?" a villager asked.
"We didn't pick up much food from Wufeng Mountain. Aunt Song, take these back and use them to cook at noon. You'll know what I said is true."
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Auntie, please accept it. I'll go back and cook some food."
"Sister-in-law Song, can we go and have dinner?"
Mrs. Song glanced back at the villagers gathered nearby and said, "Wait here. I'll cook a big dish for you to try."
"Wait, Aunt Song." Su Ningjie took out two more hot peppers and handed them over, "Let's make a stir-fried pork belly with hot peppers."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away."
Yu Tieshan's wife couldn't resist her curiosity and followed Mrs. Song back to the Song family yard.
"Sister-in-law Dazhu, what are you going to do with these green peppers?"
Aunt Song picked up the sharp pepper and looked at it carefully, then picked up the millet pepper and looked at it, "Sister-in-law, aren't these two both seasonings? Then cut them into shreds and stir-fry them."
Yu Tieshan's wife said, "Then let me cut the meat."
"Okay, I'll shred it."
"Wife, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?" Song Dazhu came to the kitchen after smelling the aroma.
"Open your mouth." Mrs. Song picked up a dish of spicy fried pork belly and stuffed it into Song Dazhu's mouth.
Song Dazhu chewed for a few times, then quickly took the chopsticks and picked up one piece of spicy fried pork belly after another and stuffed it into his mouth.
I can't stop eating it, the taste is so strong!
Mrs. Song and Yu Tieshan's wife smiled at each other and quickly took the spicy fried pork belly away.
"Wife, where are you holding it? Oh, come back soon, I haven't eaten enough..."
Song Dazhu chased after him with chopsticks.
"The spicy fried pork belly is ready, come and try it."
The villagers quickly gathered around, the food on their plates still steaming, and they couldn't help but sniff.
Smells so good!
It looks like it should taste very good.
At this time, Song Dazhu chased over and said, "All of you, get out of the way. This is the dish my wife made. You can't snatch it from me."
After he finished speaking, Song Dazhu started eating again with big mouthfuls. The villagers who were watching couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw Song Dazhu's mouth full of oil. They didn't care whether the food was clean or not and started eating directly.
Song Dazhu was so scared that he wanted to run away with the plate in his hand, but unfortunately, the villagers were too numerous and powerful to give him a chance.
In just one or two breaths, a large plate of spicy fried pork belly was divided up.
"Mom, they seem to have never eaten." Xiao Xier thought that when she had no food to eat, she was not like them.
Xiao Lingyu whispered, "The spicy taste is new to them. They've never tasted it before, which is why they like it so much. This shows that if chili peppers are widely planted, they will be very popular among the people."
"oh."
Seeing this, Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncles and aunts, isn't the chili stir-fry delicious?"
"It's delicious! But I can't eat enough!"
Su Ningjie rubbed his ears quickly and said, "If the peppers are successfully grown, I will lead everyone to grow them together."
The villagers' expressions varied when they heard this. Although the peppers are delicious, it takes effort to grow them.
The key is whether it can be exchanged for silver like rice, corn, sweet potatoes and other grains, and it is hard to say whether there will be a harvest.
Even if I could win money, I wouldn't have any extra land to farm.
The Su family had just planted tomatoes and peppers, so they decided to wait and see what would happen.
Mrs. Song said, "Brother Jie, I sincerely hope that the soil and water in our Guihua Village can grow tomatoes and peppers. Look at your Uncle Dazhu, he still hasn't had enough."
Su Ningjie smiled and said, "Uncle Dazhu, you have to be patient and wait for the delicious food."
Song Dazhu nodded, and when he saw Su Xingyi coming out of the field, he quickly said loudly, "Xingyi, can I go with you to Wufeng Mountain to pick peppers?"
"We want to go too!" Several villagers who had tasted the spicy fried pork belly echoed in unison.
Whether or not to plant it in the future is another matter, but it’s nice to be able to satisfy your appetite every day!
Xiao Lingyu:!!!!!!
Su Xingyi glanced at Xiao Lingyu's expression and said, "I've just recovered. I need some time to recuperate before I can get back to the state I was in two years ago. If I don't recover and encounter a ferocious beast in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I was two years ago."
Once he takes the villagers into the mountains to look for rare ingredients, someone will soon hear the news and bring people into the mountains. Can tomatoes and peppers still be rare ingredients?
They can no longer sell it at the price of twenty taels per catty.
Not only that, the medicinal herbs on the other side of the valley would be destroyed, and he had to protect Xiaoyu's hard work.
Xiao Lingyu's expression relaxed, fortunately no one was holding him back.
Song Dazhu was in a listless mood. "Xingyi, you take your time to recover. I'll be patient and it will pass. When your family grows the crops first, I'll come to your house for a meal."
Su Xingyi smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
It was almost noon, and the villagers dispersed when they saw the Su family go back.
Xiao Lingyu patted Su Xingyi's shoulder and whispered, "Actually, you don't need to recuperate for too long."
Su Xingyi said, "I know. I just don't want to take them into the mountains. I'm worried that the medicinal herbs in the valley will be dug up. I want to help you guard it."
