Chapter 689: Gradually Adapting to This Place

Mangcun.

In this quiet little village, even during the day, you can only hear the chirping of insects and birds.

It's June now, right in the middle of summer. It is also the busiest season of the year. Located at 22 degrees north latitude, there is no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, and it is like spring all year round. A variety of crops can be grown year-round.

The people in the village are out-and-out farmers. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. At this time, everyone is basically working in the fields.

He Xiyan has been here for more than two months. After eating eight or nine native chickens and ducks, as well as some fresh fish, her health gradually improved and her face became rosy.

And she slowly began to adapt to such a simple life without intrigues. Although it was boring, it was peaceful.

Chen Jiahang was unexpectedly kind to her. He left delicious food for her every day and bought her a lot of things to use and wear. Although they were all bought cheaply, this was already the best thing he could give her.

At this time, she was in the kitchen taking out the freshly cooked carob beans and putting them into a plastic basin. She took out a whole large basin. Then he took the pot of beans to the door and dried them one by one on the slender bamboo pole.

After drying, these beans can be turned into dried beans for long-term storage, and they can be used for cooking or rice.

Authentic farm food.

After drying the beans, she went back to the kitchen to cut chili peppers, the spicier kind of small red peppers. She cut them very quickly, and in a short while she had a large pot of them.

After cutting the peppers, she cut some shredded ginger and a few garlic balls, added the ginger and garlic with some rapeseed oil and salt, poured them into the chopped peppers, and mixed well.

Then put these peppers into 350ML bottles and seal them. She filled this pot of chili peppers with 11 bottles.

She didn't know why she did this, maybe she knew it before. Or maybe she was born in the countryside, and she seems to be able to do some farm work and farm dishes.

Jiahang said that a farmer came to place an order for the bottled chili she made in the village, and the farmer actually offered a high price of 3.5 yuan a bottle.

The 20 bottles she made last time sold for 60 yuan.

It is difficult to make money in the village. It is far away from the city and everyone is self-sufficient. Farmers and drug dealers will come once a week or two. Usually, they buy some local chickens and ducks, local eggs, local duck eggs, or bacon, dried fish, etc. Yes, there are also rare herbs. When the harvest season comes, they will come to buy some grain.

But businessmen are all profit-seeking, and the purchase price is very low. The purchase price of a local chicken is only 20 to 25 yuan, and it is sold in the city for more than 100 yuan. A local egg is only 30 cents, and some medicinal herbs are A bit more expensive, but after all, there are very few herbs.

Some of the vegetables and fruits they grow are unwilling to be purchased by farmers because the transportation costs are high and the shelf life is too short. After all, the prices in the city are also cheap, so small batches are not cost-effective.

The farmers cannot sell these vegetables by themselves because it is too remote. It is nearly 200 kilometers away from the county seat and three to four hundred kilometers away from the prefecture-level city. There is no train and only a small road. The transportation is inconvenient. They have no choice. Self-produced and sold.

The family's current main source of income is the three-acre fish pond, which was left by Jiahang's father. There are many fish raised in the fish pond, mainly grass carp, crucian carp, and male fish.

In the past, these fish were mainly used to make dried fish and sold to farmers and merchants at low prices. In the past two or three years, with the arrival of some tourists who came to experience life in the countryside and camp, the fish pond began to have a lot of fishermen.
