Chapter 132 A few more dishes in the hot summer

 In recent days, people in the village who are planting new varieties with her have been coming to her fields every day to learn from their experience. However, Lin Xiaoman is still worried and will always go to those people's fields to see if they encounter any problems.

Solved on the spot.

From the time these new varieties were raised as seedlings, Lin Xiaoman made a booklet to record the planting and maintenance process and growth status every day. She also used a ruler to measure how many centimeters they grew every day and how many days the first flower bloomed.

After coming down, I really don’t have time to pay much attention to Xu Yuanru.

Until the work in the fields is almost done, the Xu family has made the work in the fields clear, and Lin Xiaoman doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time. It's already the first ten days of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the vegetables in the fields are starting to be picked one after another. Although the fruit yield rate was not high at the beginning, it cannot stop her from planting more.

When Lin Xiaoman asked people to pick the first batch of new vegetables such as peppers and tomatoes and make classic fried shredded pork with peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and distributed them to the villagers to taste, the villagers were all impressed by the deliciousness of these two dishes.

I was shocked.

Before, I only knew that sweet peppers are delicious when made into sauce, but I didn’t expect that young sweet peppers are more delicious when used in dishes. If this bite of vegetables is mixed into rice, shouldn’t it make a big bowl of rice?

When they learned that the yield of peppers was very high, and that large peppers like this were eaten tender, everyone who grew peppers with Lin Xiaoman picked their own tender peppers and took them to restaurants and markets in the county.

Sold.

Because the pepper is a new variety that no one has seen before, and it is known that this kind of tender pepper is the main ingredient for making hot pot chicken when it is old. Even if it sells for fifty cents per pound, many people are still willing to buy it back and try it.

Taste.

Especially in major restaurants, a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with pepper can cost 50 yuan, but a pound of fried pepper can make about five plates. After the cost of the meat, it is still a profit.

There are also tomatoes that I have never seen before, and the sweet and sour scrambled eggs are very fragrant and go well with the rice. Although it is also fifty cents per pound, one pound of tomatoes can also be used to fry three plates of eggs, and the price of one plate is eighty yuan.

Wen, but most people who come to the restaurant will order these two dishes, so every restaurant sees business opportunities.

For a time, many restaurants came to Hedong Village to buy paprika tomatoes. They originally wanted to buy all the paprika tomatoes in the whole village, but after seeing the patches of paprika tomatoes, no one had the confidence to do so.

But one can’t come here in vain. I walked around the village to see if there were any other new ingredients, and ended up seeing fields of corn and sweet potatoes.

Although these are not mature yet, I still rush to make reservations with the villagers.

Lin Xiaoman saw that these people were not fussing over the price, so he taught them some new ways to eat tomatoes and peppers. However, they were taught separately, with one dish for each restaurant, and no one would eat them in the future.

Go to other people's homes and steal your skills, otherwise you won't sell them new dishes.

These people have been doing business in Qingping County for many years. Although they all wanted to use other people's methods in their own restaurants, they all understood Lin Xiaoman's good intentions, so they all agreed.

As for the new dishes they developed themselves, Lin Xiaoman said she didn't care. Their Hedong Village only sells vegetables. As long as the prices in their village are not high, she doesn't care.

As for whether someone will wait for these crops to grow old and save them for planting next year, Lin Xiaoman said that she doesn’t have the ability.

Nowadays, these are all new varieties. Although they are high-yield, the seeds left behind cannot be planted at all. Even if they can be planted, the yield will not be high.

She also wants the people in her village to earn more money for a few more years, even if they get old varieties, they will have to wait a few more years.

On the other hand, those food crops, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., she chose old varieties. As long as they save the seeds, they can be planted next year. This way, these high-yield foods can be spread as soon as possible, and the people will not be afraid of eating them if they have them.

I’m hungry because I’m not full.

Also, Lin Xiaoman had made an agreement with the villagers before that the new vegetables and grains sold in the village for takeout must be priced uniformly, and no one was allowed to cut prices privately to disrupt the business, otherwise she would not sell the seedlings to that family next year.

.

Everyone in the village is named Lin, and the clan leader and old clan leader are usually very prestigious. With their support, no one dares to go against Lin Xiaoman.

No one is stupid. If a business can make money for one family, why should it be shared with others to make money?

Just look at the output of pepper tomatoes. If word spreads, it won’t be valuable in a long time. They still want to listen to Xiaoman’s words and make more money.

Even the families where Lu Jin took the seedlings to plant outside had signed contracts, and everything had to be arranged by Lin Xiaoman. Anyone who dared to interfere would be punished.

The people in the village are unprecedentedly united. Even if some people try to buy some people with money, it is all in vain. They even told the clan leader that Lin Daqiang directly asked the villagers to reduce the amount sold to those people.

Nowadays, the reputation of the dishes in the village has spread far and wide, and many people have come from further away to buy them. They don’t have to worry about selling them. We must not be polite to those who want to destroy the unity of the village.

It's okay for other families to plant less, but Lin Xiaoman's family has a large planting area. This time even Xu Qiuliang's brothers, men, women and children, were too busy to do it.

It was better to recruit the ten people Lu Jin had hired from the city to help pick tomatoes and peppers, so that the manpower in the field was barely enough.

By the time everything was on track, it was already mid-June of the lunar calendar. That means Qingping County is located in the northeast, so the summer won't be too hot. Lin Xiaoman took a thermometer and measured it. The hottest day after June was only 29 degrees.

, completely incomparable to the high temperatures over there, which are often over 30 degrees Celsius.

I heard that if you go to the south, there are still many summers with over 40 degrees Celsius. Lin Xiaoman, who was already frightened by the high temperature there, did not dare to think about how people would survive when the temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius.

Even if there is air conditioning, what if it’s outdoors? It’s impossible for people over there not to go out in the summer, right?

Don't dare to think, don't dare to think.

Although it’s not as hot here as over there, people here wear more clothes and have to cover themselves up even in the summer.

Fortunately for men, some of them are already wearing short coats that expose their arms and legs, but women are miserable. No matter how hot the weather is, they can't expose any skin except their hands and face.

Lin Xiaoman rarely goes out when she has nothing to do. She has installed air conditioning in the warehouse there. When it's hot, she goes there to blow in the air. She is much happier than Lin Erhu who has to study with Xu Qiuliang every day.

I grow melons on more than two acres of land at home, including watermelons and cantaloupe. They are all the varieties that are sold well there. I pick them and put them in a basket and put them in the well for a while. They are colder than those that have been frozen in the refrigerator.

Eat.

In order to cool down Lin Erhu's master and apprentice, Lin Xiaoman would send a watermelon and several cantaloupes in the morning and afternoon, along with a large piece of ice. Xu Qiuliang could not wait to sit on the ice and eat the watermelon.

Lin Xiaoman's house is close to the river. As long as the sun goes down, it will cool down soon. It's still a bit cold when sleeping without a quilt at night.

But I heard from Qingshu that it was much hotter in the county. In the first half of the night, their masters and servants, as well as the government servants who stayed in the county government, slept under mosquito nets in the yard. They would only go back to the house when they woke up from the cold in the second half of the night.

Go to sleep, this night is not enough trouble.

It can be seen that no matter in ancient or modern times, the summer temperature in the city and in the countryside is not the same.

Lin Xiaoman would send them some fruits and vegetables every day, as well as the Fourth Grandma and Shen Guihua's house.
