Time passes quietly in the busyness, and July arrives unexpectedly.

In the past two months, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen practiced martial arts together, observed the growth of corn, collected herbs, made pills, and brewed yellow wine. They were almost inseparable. Shen Yun and Shen An stopped clinging to Shen Jia for some unknown reason. .

After several attempts to persuade Shen Zhuoyun and Gu to no avail, Shen Zhuoyun and Gu decided to give up. As long as they didn't do anything outrageous, they would pretend they didn't see it.

The weather in Lingnan is hot, so the peppers ripen quickly and are all red by now.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Zhuoyun and others went to the hillside to pick peppers.

"Miss Shen, what are you going to do with all these peppers?" Xiao Yichen asked curiously.

Shen Jia frowned in thought, besides dried chili peppers, what else could he do? Shen Jia's eyes lit up: "You can make chili sauce. Garlic chili sauce is very good."

Xiao Yichen looked at her with a frown, then a smile, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

More than 20 people picked together very quickly, and they finished picking the peppers in two quarters of an hour.

Shen Yun, Shen An, and Guo Mingyu went to the tomato field to pick all the ripe tomatoes.

The three little ones loved tomatoes and scrambled eggs so much that they would go to the hillside to look at them every day and pick them right away if there were any ripe ones.

Shen Jia saw that the pockets of the three of them were bulging: "Yun'er, An'er, Yu'er, aren't you tired of eating tomatoes and scrambled eggs every day?"

Shen An said loudly: "How can I get tired of it? I wish I had tomatoes and scrambled eggs with every meal."

"I won't get tired of it either. I can eat one more bowl of rice with tomato juice soaked in it." Shen Yun whispered, as if he was afraid that others would hear.

Guo Mingyu nodded fiercely: "Yes, me too."

Shen Jia glanced at their obviously rounder faces and said with a smile: "I want you to put the seeds next time I plant tomatoes, okay?"

The three people responded loudly: "Okay!"

The corners of Xiao Yichen's lips curled up slightly. In fact, he also liked the dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

They carried the peppers home, while the servants stayed in the fields to dig.

"Dad, I plan to make garlic chili sauce and transport it to the capital, but sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn need to be planted on the hillside. There is no space left to grow chili peppers. Do you think?"

Shen Zhuoyun thought for a while and said, "We can let the villagers and people in Zhuangzi plant it and then buy their peppers. What do you think?"

Shen Jia smiled and said: "This is a good idea, let's do it like this! When the next batch of peppers are grown, we will ask the villagers to make chili sauce."

"What do you think of Jia'er's purchase of chili peppers for three cents a pound?" Shen Zhuoyun was determined to help the villagers and give them an extra income.

Shen Jia also wants to help the villagers, but has never had a chance: "Just do what dad said, three cents a pound. Give them some tomato seeds too, so they can have one more dish."

"Okay." After Shen Zhuoyun said that, he went to the village to talk to Yang Dazhuang, Seventh Uncle and others about the matter.

The five acres of paddy field owned by the Shen family are now leased to Yang Dazhuang and a grandson of the seventh uncle for farming. Yang Dazhuang also raises the cattle. There are many people in the Shen family now, and the land on the hillside is plowed with hoes.

The soil there is so soft that it doesn't take long to use a hoe.

Yang Dazhuang came soon.

"Uncle Yang is here." Shen Jia greeted with a smile.

Yang Dazhuang was in a daze for a moment. One year has passed since Xiaojia appeared in front of everyone last year. Xiaojia has grown a lot taller, and her eyebrows have grown longer. Standing there quietly, there is an invisible feeling. The momentum makes people dare not blaspheme.

"Cough, cough!" A trace of anger flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. Where did this old man dare to stare at Miss Shen? Yang Dazhuang quickly came to his senses and said with an embarrassed smile: "Let Xiaojia laugh."

Shen Jia waved his hand to show that he didn't mind: "I haven't seen Uncle Yang for a while. It's normal that you didn't react at once."

Yang Dazhuang rubbed the back of his head and smiled honestly.

Xiao Yichen pursed his lips, a little unhappy.

Shen Jia pulled him aside and said, "Do you want to avoid it? If there are more people coming later, will your identity be exposed?"

Xiao Yichen stroked his fake beard and said proudly: "No, who is so powerful who can see through my disguise?"

Shen Jia touched her chin and glanced at him. She deliberately drew thick eyebrows and had a big beard on his face. As long as he restrained his aura, he was almost the same as an ordinary farm man. She suppressed a smile and said, "There are really not many people who can." Recognize it.”

The seventh uncle and the heads of other families came very quickly.

Shen Zhuoyun took a pepper for everyone: "This is a pepper. If you want to plant it, you can get peppers from me. At the end of the year, except for your own food, you can sell them to me. I will collect salmon." A pound of money.”

"Mr. Shen, is it difficult to grow this pepper? We don't want to take it back and plant it incorrectly, which will cause the seeds to become unsightly." Uncle Qi asked as a representative.

Shen Zhuoyun smiled and said: "It's not difficult to grow, it's just like growing vegetables."

"I want to plant. Thank you Mr. Shen..."

"I want to plant it too. Mr. Shen is such a good man..."

Xiao Yichen looked at the smiling faces of the villagers smiling like chrysanthemums, and was deeply touched in his heart. Most of the farmers were simple and kind-hearted. They didn't have too many twists and turns. They had enough to eat, clothing and clothing, and their families had enough food and a little extra money on their hands. their lifelong pursuit.

Xiao Yichen clenched his fists and silently set a goal for himself.

After the villagers left, Shen Jia took several maids to clean the peppers. After washing, put the peppers under the sun to dry the moisture on them.

When Shen Jia decided to make chili sauce, she had already asked Liang Ronggui to go to the county town to buy garlic rice, sealed jars, and rice wine.

Shen Jia took a look and saw that several maids were peeling garlic. One of the two cooks was removing the stems of peppers and the other was chopping garlic. Then he took a kitchen knife and went to chop the peppers himself.

It's not like wearing disposable gloves when chopping peppers in modern times. Shen Jia only chopped for a while before feeling burning pain in his palms.

Xiao Yichen heard that Shen Jia was making chili sauce and was curious about how to make chili sauce, so he stepped into the kitchen. He happened to see Shen Jia waving her hands and guessed that she might have been burned by the chili pepper.

Xiao Yichen picked up the kitchen knife: "Miss Shen, let me do it! You tell me how to chop peppers."

When Shen Jia saw someone doing the work for him, he naturally wouldn't refuse: "Just chop the peppers finely."

'Chop chop chop' The kitchen knife in Xiao Yichen's hand was so fast that only an afterimage remained.

It is said that serious men are the best looking.

Shen Jia couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Yichen. After the villagers left, he had already torn off his beard.

After living in Shen's house for a period of time, his skin has become much whiter. The sunlight outside the window just hits his face, painting it with a layer of fine light and shadow, making his features even more picturesque and dreamlike.

Even though he is chopping chili peppers, he still has the aura of holding the world in his hands and swallowing mountains and rivers with anger.

Shen Jia's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
