Chapter 536 Good Luck
Since the Lin family cannot be fully trusted yet, let them get busy.
If you want to get a good harvest from growing peppers, you have to put in a lot of effort during the process, including raising seedlings, transplanting, replanting, multiple topdressings in the later stage, etc. Basically, if the Lin family starts growing peppers, most of their time will be spent in the fields.
Especially for a family like the Lin family who had never been involved in farm work before, they had to be very careful to protect the crops in the fields.
"Chili" Lin Siyu was confused, "What is that?"
Mrs. Lu quickly explained, "It's a dish that came from foreign countries. It's very spicy, but it's especially delicious when stir-fried with meat! This is also what the Sixth Miss asked us to grow. It's very valuable!"
When Qi heard this, she immediately became alert and pulled Shen Qingqian aside to ask her a lot of questions.
After confirming that growing peppers could support their family, Qi finally felt relieved. "I didn't expect there was so much to learn from farming. Siyu, Siqi, Siyun, you should learn more from Sister Qian in the future."
The girls from the Lin family quickly agreed, and their eyes were particularly hot when they looked at Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian got goosebumps when she was looked at, and quickly said, "Aunt Qi, you can't plant peppers on the same piece of land every year. It's better to rotate them with other crops. You can rotate them with cherry tomatoes."
These two are vegetables that are in great demand in restaurants in northern Hubei. Of course, many people also treat cherry tomatoes as fruits.
Moreover, the caravan formed in northern Hubei also planned to take these two items with them to export to the ethnic groups outside the Great Wall and sell them during the one-month journey after departure.
As for preserving this fresh goods, Shen Qingqian plans to use saltpeter and coarse salt to solve the problem.
She hasn't discussed this matter with Sheng Ze yet, so let's get back to the present.
"What are cherry tomatoes?" Lin Siyu asked again.
She suddenly felt that since coming to Shen Qingqian and the others, she seemed to always be exposed to new things.
This time, he explained to her that it was ginger dog eggs, "which are also a species introduced from foreign countries. They are bright red, sour and sweet, and taste really good."
"Can this also be sold to the caravan?" Qi was most concerned about the issue of silver.
Because Shen Qingqian just told her that if she wanted to make more money, she had to plant more peppers, and if peppers needed to be rotated, the price of cherry tomatoes as a rotation crop would be very important.
Jiang Goudan nodded, "Of course, the most common crop we grow this year is cherry tomatoes."
The order from Yun Zhongxian has already been negotiated. Once the harvest begins, they will be able to make a lot of money!
Upon hearing this, Qi was relieved, "That's good, this way we won't have to worry anymore."
After she finished speaking, she took Shen Qingqian's hand and said gratefully, "Sister Qian, thank you so much!"
Qi knew in her heart that they just didn't abandon Xiao and Shen Yao on the road, and they didn't provide that much help to the mother and daughter.
It can only be said that the Shen family is too kind and takes such good care of them that the Qi family is too embarrassed to agree to let the Shen brothers help them turn the soil.
"Aunt Qi, you're too polite." Shen Qingqian smiled and shook her head.
Qi said a few more polite words to her, and then asked Lin Siyu and the others to start picking up stones from the ground, while the children were responsible for pulling out weeds.
The Lin family was lucky, as the heavy rain last year made their land suitable for farming.
The soil in this area is much softer than that of Jiang Goudan and his friends. The Lin family said they were reclaiming the land, but in fact they just needed to pick up the stones in the ground and turn it over with tillage tools, and then they could plant crops immediately.
Since Shen Qingqian was here, it was impossible for her to go back after checking the land. Naturally, she helped to clean up the land first, and then turned over the cleared area before stopping to rest.
She looked at her hands, her eyes full of thought.
