Xu Di's current task is to collect the chili peppers, process the seeds, or send the dried peppers away, or make them into chili sauce or beef sauce and transport them away. Although the aroma of the chili peppers is somewhat diminished without the seeds, there is nothing that can be done now. Once someone else gets the seeds, they will become dispensable to him.
Autumn is a harvest season, and all kinds of crops in the village are growing well. The village head of Zhangjia Village even told Xu Di that since the Xu family bought the village, the heavens have really blessed everyone with food these past few years, and the weather has always been favorable.
It was the first time corn had been planted in the village. After harvesting the corn with Xu Di, Xu Di began to teach everyone how to eat corn.
They grind corn into cornmeal to cook porridge, mix it with flour to make steamed buns, and use fermented cornmeal to make flatbreads. Xu Di also taught them how to make pancakes. Those pancakes were not just made from cornmeal, but also from wheat flour, bean flour, and sweet potato flour. The pancakes made from cornmeal tasted good, were filling, and most importantly, saved grain and could be stored for a long time.
The crops in the fields of the village have all been harvested, and the vegetables in the greenhouses on the mountain have been planted. After the vegetables in the greenhouses grow, they will be sent to restaurants and hotels in Ganzhou. Every year, they can make a lot of money from this. In the dead of winter, who wouldn't want to eat something fresh and something special?
Sister Wei Lang owns a small estate of several dozen acres in the suburbs of Beijing. Last year, Xu Di sent people to help build several greenhouses for her, so she could grow vegetables there in the winter. The vegetables she grew were then delivered to the hot pot restaurant. A plate of vegetables was much more expensive than thinly sliced beef and mutton. Because of this, Sister Wei Lang earned a lot more money every year. She was grateful to Xu Di for his help. Hearing that Xu Di wanted to buy a hot spring resort near the suburbs of Beijing for her mother, she inquired and spent five thousand taels to buy a small estate of more than ten acres with a three-courtyard house near her own estate. The land deed was delivered by Sister Wei Lang's uncle, who came to transport chili peppers this time.
After settling things at the estate, Xu Di hurried back to the city. Wei Lang's elder sister's nanny took his things from the estate and went straight back to the capital. Xu Di didn't even have time to send the land deed back. He had promised his mother that he would earn her a hot spring estate. Now that his wish had come true, who wouldn't be happy?
