Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

From not understanding kohlrabi to liking kohlrabi, it took the people of the Su family just one meal.

Everyone who ate it was full of praise, "I think this dish will work. We can also grow some ourselves."

"Okay, after I finish my busy work, I can open up some wasteland and raise it with manure. Then I can plant some vegetables first." Mr. Su also agrees, but his favorite is taro stewed with kohlrabi root, which is soft and glutinous. Waxy.

"You can also grow some taro. Whether it is burned or boiled, I think it tastes much better than sweet potatoes."

"Okay, I'll keep the tooth opening and plant it next year."

Su Ziling also likes to eat taro. She likes stewed taro the most, which is relatively smooth, or boiled taro. It is crunchy and glutinous, which is also very filling.

After eating and resting for a while, everyone began to do their own business. Su Ziling and Li Zelan went to pick peppercorns, and there was still a little kohlrabi root left for Su A'nai.

"Grandma, just leave it alone after you've done it. We'll come back to wash it later, so don't touch the water."

"I know, let's go!"

Before we even reached the pepper tree, we could smell the aroma of numbness in the air.

"Cousin, how many of these peppercorns do you need to pick?"

Looking at the pepper tree in front of her, Li Zelan fell into deep thought.

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum has not been repaired, there are branches and thorns everywhere, and it is a Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree that was born in 1989, with lush branches and leaves.

From a distance, you can see a bright red tree with bunches of peppercorns. (Picture of Zanthoxylum bungeanum)

Li Zelan took a look and saw that the ones they could pick were the ones at the bottom of the tree, and the ones above were really out of reach.

"Pick more. You have to pick enough for a year. Besides, it will be expensive to make pickles by then. Our two baskets are full, so I guess that's about it."

The rain came late this year, so the peppercorns ripened late. In previous years, they were picked around the August Festival, but this year they were picked in September.

The two stood under the tree, picking and breathing at the same time. Their hands were pricked, some were bleeding, and their hands were covered with wounds.

After picking the bottom ones, Su Ziling went back and took a knife, trimmed the thorns and branches on the main trunk, slowly climbed to the top, and then cut off the upper branches.

"Sanlang, pull this fork and drag it aside to pick it."

"Hey, I got it." Li Zelan bent down and dragged the chopped branch aside, "Cousin, if you cut it this year, how will it still knot tomorrow?"

"It's okay. All the ones I cut were too high, just branches. I still have the main trunk. I can just pick the ones at the bottom next year!"

Su Ziling stood on the tree to pick, and she chopped off all the thorns on the trunk. They were smooth and not piercing at all.

She just cut off the ones that were too far away, leaving only the ones that were easy to pick. She repaired the ones this year, and there might be more knots next year.

They carried two baskets of peppercorns and spent most of the day picking them. They saw the sun was about to set before they finished picking.

When I got home, I found that Su Ah Nai had washed all the kohlrabi roots. After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the kohlrabi roots were already a little wilted.

She poured the picked peppercorns into a dustpan to dry, and then started preparing dinner. Axiu was not at home, so she had to feed the pigs.

The days are busy but also somewhat comfortable. The harvest of the past few days has swept away the fatigue in everyone's hearts, and what is left is the endless hope and expectation.

Early the next morning, everyone was busy with their own business. Su Ziling took Li Zelan to pick peppers. She planned to make some bad peppers.

She didn't do it a few days ago because she didn't have any kohlrabi roots. She had been thinking about this after digging the kohlrabi roots.

The pickled chili peppers made from kohlrabi roots are sour and fragrant. They can be used to stir-fry vegetables, scrambled eggs, or add a little when eating fried rice. The taste is amazing.

When eating vermicelli or noodles, take some out and mix it with noodles, which also has a unique flavor.

Looking at the red peppers in the ground, Li Zelan looked back at her with disbelief, "Cousin, do you also grow these peppers?"

"Grow it, I plan to plant more next year, otherwise there won't be enough to eat," she warned him while picking, "Pick the red ones, don't pick the green ones, keep them up, they will turn red in a few days."

The harvest of the peppers planted this year is indeed gratifying, probably because of the watering and manure application.

Many branches were bent down, probably because of the warmer climate. It was already September, and the pepper leaves were still green and the flowers were even blooming again.

I'm going to water it a little more, and I'll still be able to eat green peppers this winter.

Thinking of this, she suddenly didn't want to uproot the pepper tree. The land was idle and she might as well keep the peppers. If you watered them a little, you could pick two more crops.

I think it’s already September, so we can plant winter radishes. Then we can plant peppers directly in the ground, two kinds in one field. By then, the radishes will be fat and the peppers will be harvested.

Thinking of this, her hands became much faster. She went back to make the peppers at noon, so that she could plant radishes in the afternoon.

Picking sweet peppers is much easier than picking peppers. They are not tall, have no thorns, and have many red ones. The two of them took two baskets and didn't finish picking them.

"Let's go home and cook! Come back in the afternoon if you haven't finished picking!"

A few days ago, Su's mother and the others came to pick and dry them, but they didn't expect them to turn red so quickly. Within a few days, another batch had turned red.

When they got home, Su Mu and the others were back, and the rice was already steaming in the pot.

"Auntie, are you back so early today?"

"Everything is done. I just went to clean it today. After stewing the sweet potato vines, I will start digging the sweet potatoes."

Mother Su glanced at them and said, "Are you going to pick peppers?"

"Yes, I wanted to pick them back and make some spicy peppers, but I didn't expect them to be so red. I haven't finished picking them yet."

Su Ziling took a big basin and washed the peppers. Upon seeing this, her third aunt also came to help.

Mother Su wiped the water from her hands and said, "I'll wash it, and you go cook."

"No, no, if you have oil in your hand, you can fry it. Don't let this dish get stained with oil, otherwise it will spoil."

Su Ziling quickly stopped her, fearing that the pot of peppers wouldn't be usable if she put her hands down.

"Can't get oil on it?" Mother Su looked at her hands and gave up. She didn't worry about it before. Now that life is getting better, there are more oils and meats, and there are indeed oil stars in her hands.

"Then you have to ask your father to buy a jar. There aren't many jars at home. Let's buy a new one at once. Do you want to cut this? If you want to cut it, you can only use the knife that A Xiu used to chop pigweed. , only the one has not been stained with oil, let your dad sharpen it for you when the time comes."

"Okay, buy two or three. I also want to pickle the kohlrabi roots and eat them slowly." Su Ziling continued with a smile.

Su's father was chopping firewood nearby. He stopped chopping after hearing her words. He put down the ax in his hand and patted the ashes on his hand. "Okay, I'll buy it. Do you want a large or a small one?"

"One large size and two medium sizes," she added as she watched Su's father go out, "If you have small ones, you can buy a few. I can use them."

Father Su shook his head and laughed, "Okay, then I'll get the backpacks and carry a few more."

"Dad, do you have enough money?"

"It should be enough. I'll go take a look. If it's not enough, I won't tell you." Su's father touched his pocket and said uncertainly.

Su A'nai got him a hundred coins and said, "Don't talk about not having enough. Take the money with you. If Xiaoqing wants to use it, you can buy as many small ones as you want. It won't matter if you don't need it when you come back. Maybe you can still use it." Put something or something."
