selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

When Chen Jianlan and Zheng Changhai returned home, Chen Xiangwu and Li Shi also prepared some things for them to take back. They didn’t take the bad chili peppers that Chen Chen took from here, mainly because they prepared two catties of sugar and a can of milk powder. It is a precious thing that nourishes the body.

Chen Jianlan thought it was expensive and didn't want it, but Li Shi said bluntly: "Milk powder is more nourishing than malted milk, you can take it back to make up for your family. Especially Xiaofei, he didn't grow strong when he was young, and he will be more healthy in the future. deficit."

When parents think about themselves, then Chen Jianlan has nothing to say, thank you and put the things on.

After going out of the back room to the main room, Chen Bei was still telling Chen Jianlan, "Gu, I picked these candies specially for Xiao Fei, you must give them to Xiao Fei."

Chen Jianlan joked, "I don't have a share?"

"You guys eat bad chili, Xiao Fei is still young, don't you say that young children can't eat spicy food? Then he should eat more sugar, otherwise what should he do if he doesn't like me?" Chen Bei blinked and said "So, aunt, uncle, you can't take away the candy I gave Xiaofei, let alone let others take it away."

Chen Jianlan immediately understood that they didn't have a separate family, and the old lady would take the things back to her room. Now Chen Bei made it clear that the candy was for his nephew Xiaofei alone and could not be given to others, especially It cannot be given to people in other rooms.

Chen Jianlan looked at Chen Bei's cleverness and was pleasing to the eye, "Okay, I will definitely hand over the original candy you gave to Xiaofei, and tell him that it was given to him by his uncle Bei."

Chen Bei said happily: "That's good, bring him to play next time."

Chen Jianlan: "Okay."

The other people in the room were well aware of what was going on with the Zheng family, and everyone heard what happened to the kid Chen Bei.The Chen family felt that what Chen Bei said was right, the food brought back from them should of course be given to their children; Zheng Changhai also understood the code words, but why did he have any reason to refute?

He didn't blame him either, he just simply stated the fact that he wanted to give candy to his cousin.

He, who is a grandfather, can't say anything about it.

Chen Jianlan was full of thoughts about the good life of her natal family and the good things about bringing her to make a fortune together in the future, while Zheng Changhai was full of entanglements and a little bit of trouble. The couple just carried things with their hearts full of thoughts facing the sunset go home.

When the people were far away, Mrs. Li nodded Chen Bei's forehead, "Who taught you to say that?"

Chen Beidao: "I want to say it myself."

Mrs. Li glared at him, "My head is full of lawsuits."

Chen Bei pretended not to understand, "I just miss Xiaofei, he didn't come to play with my aunt this year, so of course I have to ask my aunt and uncle to help me bring it back to him as my cousin's New Year's gift."

Mrs. Li laughed and cursed, "I have a lot of thoughts."

Chen Bei laughed and slipped away.

Chen Xiangwu and Chen Chen didn't express any opinions on Chen Bei's actions. Chen Xiangwu and Chen Chen told Chen Jianlan about borrowing money to buy [-] chickens, and Chen Chen said he knew about it.

Mrs. Li, who had already sat down, said: "With that old lady sitting, it's hard to say whether so many chickens can be raised."

Chen Xiangwu glanced at Li Shi and said nothing.

Chen Chen said: "It's just a plan now, when I really buy chickens later, my aunt will definitely come and tell us the specific situation, and we will know when the time comes."

Mrs. Li didn't continue to talk about her mother-in-law, "It's true."

Chen Chen didn't mention this matter any more, and instead said: "Grandpa, why don't you ask Grandpa if they are willing to raise chickens?"

"Why?" Chen Xiangwu asked, "Do you really think it's not enough?"

"Not enough." Chen Chen said with a smile: "For such a big matter, I must tell the truth to my aunt and the others. What's more, how many dried chili peppers are left untouched at home, and we will plant those lands later, as well as grandpa and the villagers. We have to follow along, and when the time comes to remove the bad chili made when it was fresh, there will definitely be a lot of dried chili, which will have to be used to make black bean chili and chicken chili.”

Chen Xiangwu thought so too, the peppers to be planted this year are much more than last year.

"How many chickens are suitable for your uncle and the others?" Chen Xiangwu asked.

"Let's raise one or two hundred first." Chen Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, it would be better if they are willing to raise pigs. The peppers made from pork should be better bought than chicken."

"That's for sure!" Mrs. Li immediately said, "Many families can raise chickens, but not everyone can afford to raise pigs."

Every family in the countryside raises chickens in order to lay eggs to nourish their bodies.But pigs are not necessarily the case, and the money for buying piglets alone is not available to ordinary people.

Everyone is poor, and everyone wants to eat meat. Chicken can be eaten by killing chickens, but can pork?

Oh, it is much easier to eat pork now than before, but the concept has been there for so many years. In everyone's mind, pork is much more delicious than chicken.

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Chen also wants to make fresh meat and chili. If possible, it is best to rush ahead of the chicken, but it's just...

That much pork is hard to come by, and one or two hundred cans is not enough.

Chen Xiangwu shook his head and said, "Raising pigs is difficult."

Mrs. Li disagreed and said: "But pork is sold at a high price."

"You have to be able to afford it first." Chen Xiangwu said: "What Jianlan said at noon is correct. Buying piglets requires money, and raising pigs requires food. One or two pigs are fine, but if you shoot pigweed, how much will it cost?" If it is finished, you have to add food, and the cost is not low."

Mrs. Li stopped talking. If the pig was easy to raise, she would have raised it herself, but one or two pigs are not bad for her own food. If she really wants to make peppers and sell them, what use will that be?

Chen Chen said: "Grandpa, you should mention this matter to Grandpa and the others first. If they are willing, we can lend them the money to buy piglets first. If they feel that there are too many pigs to raise, then forget it. It's the same with raising chickens."

Chen Xiangwu nodded, "OK."

Chen Xiangwu didn't sit down when he had business to do, and immediately got up and went to his elder brother.

Chen Chen also returned home.

The head of the house, Chen Jianye, and the others hadn't come back yet. Chen Chen looked at the coal stove and saw that it was not completely dark, so he simply went for a walk in the village.

During the Chinese New Year, dinner is especially early. At this time, almost every household in the village has already had dinner, and the children come out to run wildly and play, one by one competing to see who gets the most candy today, or Talking about what delicious food I ate today; the adults seldom went out for a walk, and most of them stayed at home to enjoy the fire. After all, it was late at night, and the cold wind was blowing and it was quite cold.

Chen Chen ran into those fellow villagers who came back from his mother's house, and went to sit in a few houses, anyway, he was just joining in the fun in the village.

After this sitting, it is inevitable that people will ask about the chili peppers again. Chen Chen can only deal with it with a smile, and gave an affirmative answer to the question of whether he will harvest the chili peppers that everyone cares about most...

Chen Chen didn't go home until it was dark.

Chen Jianye and the others have already returned, Liu Dongxue is packing things in the house, Zhou Ping'an is gathering with Chen Bei, and they don't know what they are talking about.

Chen Chen cared a few words about the physical condition of Liu Dongxue's natal family, and then didn't ask any more questions.

After the days of returning to my natal family in the second year of junior high school, all kinds of relatives have been walking around since the third year of junior high school. Distant relatives, close neighbors, clans, etc. all have to go there.

For example, the family of the closest uncle and the second uncle, Chen Chen's family, just bring the New Year's ceremony over there, but like the grandpa and the others, they have to go and sit around, mainly because there are elders over there.

There were people from the village sitting at home, and after Chen Jianye accompanied him, he took his things and prepared to go to Chen Xiangwen's family to pay New Year's greetings. Chen Chen and Zhou Ping'an were also there.

Chen Xiangwen and the others were not all at home. When there was still a distance, they happened to meet Chen Jianhua and the others going out with their things, and a few of them stood on the road and said a few words. Chen Jianhua told them to sit down more. Said nothing.

Chen Xiangwen's family was warming up by the coal stove, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly told them to go inside the house. Grandma Fang saw that they were carrying so many things, and said repeatedly: "Come and sit, what else are you taking?"

Chen Jianye couldn't handle it, so Chen Chen consciously chose the good one and said, "It's just a catty of sugar, grandma took it and melted it for drinking water."

Of course, there is not only sugar in it, but also malted milk noodles.Relatives in the direct line, besides, everyone knows that their family made money last year, so of course the ceremony should not be too shabby.

"You guys are welcome." After speaking, Fang took the things into the house, and then asked his second daughter-in-law, Li Tao, to melt sugar water for them.

Here, Chen Jianye and the others have already greeted everyone in the room, and they are talking to Chen Xiangwen and others at the moment.

For the Chinese New Year, it’s just a family routine. If the family’s conditions are good, they will bring out some food for entertainment. Everyone chats while eating, and if they don’t have such conditions, they will pour water.

Chen Xiangwen's family is poor, so he has brought out the best specifications to entertain. Each person has a bowl of sugar water, a plate of melon seeds on the table, and some homemade rice cakes and corn cakes.

Before Chen Jianye and the others moved much, Chen Xiangwen's youngest great-grandson, Chen Huailiang, was already drooling beside him, staring at the sugar water on the table without blinking his eyes.

Chen Chen was talking to Chen Jianjiao, but Zhou Pingan waved to Chen Huailiang. Chen Huailiang hesitated and walked over. Zhou Pingan brought down the bowl, "Drink the sugar water."

Chen Huailiang's eyes sparkled, "Give me a drink?"

"Yes." Zhou Ping'an whispered, "Don't you want to drink? Drink quickly."

Chen Huailiang, who was only five years old, couldn't bear the temptation, and asked cautiously, "Then shall I have a drink?"

Zhou Pingan said: "I drank all of it just now, you can drink the rest."

Chen Huailiang was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

Zhou Pingan was about to answer the truth, when Fang and Li Tao, who didn't know what they were doing outside, bumped into each other when they came in, Fang hurriedly pulled Chen Huailiang over, "Huailiang, that's Uncle Ping's sugar water, you can't drink it. "

Chen Huailiang answered aggrievedly, "Oh."

"Grandma is fine." Zhou Pingan pulled Chen Huailiang over again, "If he wants to drink, give him a drink."

As he spoke, he handed the bowl to Chen Huailiang's mouth, "Drink."

Chen Huailiang smiled immediately, said "Thank you, Uncle Ping An", and drank the sugar water happily.

Fang laughed and cursed, "This child."

It can be seen that she is still happy that her little great-grandson drank sugar water, and she also likes Zhou Ping'an a little bit more in her heart, thinking that this child is sensible and loves their Chen family's children.

Others naturally saw this, and Li Tao, the mother-in-law, joked, "I'm just a greedy cat, I want to eat everything I see."

Chen Huailiang may have refuted too many times, so he opened his mouth and said, "I'm not a cat, I'm Chen Huailiang!"

The people in the house laughed.

Chen Chen pointed to the rice cake on the table and asked him: "Rice cake, do you want it?"

Knowing that the people in the room were laughing, Chen Huailiang became more courageous, ran to Chen Chen's side, and said, "I want to eat."

Chen Chen brought down the bamboo plate containing rice cakes and asked him to take it himself, "There are also corn cakes, do you want it?"

Chen Huai nodded, "Yes!"

Chen Jianjiao said from the side, "Your hands are full and you want more."

Chen Huailiang saw that the two pieces of rice cakes in his two little hands were tangled, he hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the rice cake in his right hand into Chen Jianjiao's hand, "Grandpa, help me hold it first."

Chen Jianjiao was speechless.

Li Tao pulled him over, "Why do you hide food like a little mouse, eat what's inside first and then take it away."

Chen Huailiang had already started chewing, chewing, and he still kept saying, "I'm not a mouse either, I'm Chen Huailiang!"

The whole room was amused by him again.

Li Tao was angry and funny.

Chen Chen couldn't help laughing, "Come on, Chen Huailiang, for the sake of being so smart, I'll give you another piece of cornbread."

Chen Huailiang picked it up right away, "Thank you, Uncle Xiaochen!"
