Time is like flowing water, passing by people quietly, making people unable to catch them no matter how hard they are.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year and the Lunar New Year have passed. During this period, the infrastructure construction in the manor and the planting of lawns and flowers have also been completed, and the season when spring returns to the earth has arrived.

"Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the spring river is warm and the duck is prophet."

This famous line written by Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, clearly points out the characteristics of the arrival of spring. Now the Spring Festival has just passed, and it is still a cold season in the north, but in Rongshu Village, the pace of spring has quietly approached.

After a winter of the north wind, the originally green hillside fields were filled with dead branches and leaves, and they looked bleak. Even the leaves that were still evergreen became dry and dull, no longer as bright and lively as before. However, these decaying scenes quickly disappeared without a trace after the spring breeze arrived.

The bamboo whip of the four-sided bamboo planted earlier began to poke their heads out of the loose soil and curiously check out this strange world. In order to make the entire manor more tasteful and elegant, Cen Jiahua specially spent a lot of money to buy back many kinds of bamboo whip. Now, under the call of spring, these bamboos have begun a new life.

Most of the fruit seedlings bought from Yang Daxiong’s nursery are biennial fruit seedlings. These newly-formed fruit trees have adapted to environmental changes as quickly as possible under the nourishment of the "spirit array". Some relatively thick peach trees have bloomed three or two light red buds on the bare branches. These flowers dotted on the trees remind people that spring is really coming.

In a bleak scene, these bright buds flow through people's hearts like a clear spring. They originally became a little numb because of winter, and the cold forest suddenly regained its vitality because of the blooming of peach blossoms, and once again became a gentle world.

The ducks that had been holding in the shed for a whole winter were the first animals to receive the information of spring. They rushed to the reservoir that was still slightly chilly. The originally lonely farm woke up with the excitement of the ducks. The big geese and chickens also walked out of the shed under the influence of the ducks and began to look for traces of spring on the island.

After changing the hair, the migratory birds on the reed marsh are active again in the waters of the reservoir. Only these elves from heaven and earth can truly feel the beautiful atmosphere of spring. A few naughty geese are now no different from a big duck. They are so happy that they are wandering around the reservoir and even fly to the courtyard.

Doudou showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of good friends, and even took the geese to the vineyard to introduce new friends to them. Cen Jiahua knew that these migratory birds were approaching when they left, and she felt a little sad. But he also understood that this was the law of life. If these migratory birds stayed in the south, their lives would lose their original meaning.

Beneath the dead branches and leaves, tenacious grasses are struggling hard. They feel the call of spring and are thinking of breaking away from the darkness and constraints in front of them and accepting the nourishment of sunshine, rain and dew.

It seemed as if overnight, Cen Jiahua discovered that the mountains and fields had turned into a green ocean, and the protagonist of this ocean was the grass that seemed insignificant. While Cen Jiahua was amazed at the tenacious vitality of these grasses, his eyes were also attracted by the swaying dandelions on the hillside.

Originally, in Cen Jiahua's limited plant knowledge, the image of dandelions has always been like a huge white pompoon floating in the wind. Later, he found out on the computer that the plants with light yellow flowers in front of him were dandelions.

Although there is no longer the elegance of the seeds drifting in the wind, the vitality of yellow flowers blooming in the green is also a different kind of interest. The slightly moist air contains the slightly bitter fragrance of dandelions. Take a deep breath and feel a sense of comfort in the lungs.

Cen Jiahua felt more and more that Lotus Mountain was a huge oxygen bar, and the oxygen atoms and negative ions rich in the air here were far from comparable to those in the city. It seems that it is necessary to take the old man at home and let him recuperate in this quiet environment for a period of time, which is much more effective than any health care measures.

After several months of hard work, the winter vegetables that the villagers planted in the beginning of winter have entered the harvest season. On the bean rack, strings of pods of four-season beans stand upright and proudly show their figure. However, in the green pepper fields, peppers as big as sheep's horns are hidden among the branches, like shy girls.

The information about the ripeness of winter vegetables attracted merchants from all over the world, who drove various trucks to Rongshu Village. Now this season is the most scarce season for vegetables in the north. Although there are vegetables grown from greenhouses in the north, the high prices still lack considerable competitiveness compared with vegetables grown in natural conditions in the south.

With competitive acquisitions, villagers have more choices when selling, and there are certain flexible changes in prices.

Just like when growing winter vegetables, harvesting winter vegetables is still a mobilization for the whole family. The genius is bright, and everyone has already brought baskets, plastic buckets and snakeskin bags to the vegetable field. Compared with harvesting rice, picking green beans and chili peppers is a very simple thing. Even the little guys who are only in the first and second grades are very active in joining the labor. One by one, they carry small baskets, carefully check each pepper or green bean that meets the standards of adults.

Today, Cen Jiahua is also in the team picking peppers. He was idle and knew that Old Chen’s family was going to harvest peppers, so he rushed over to help, and wanted to experience the fun of working.

"This kind of darker chili pepper is mature and can be picked. Those light green chili peppers are tender peppers, which can be harvested in a few days." Before going to the field, Old Chen was afraid that Cen Jiahua would not understand it very much, so he picked the wrong chili peppers, so he explained it to him.

Through Lao Chen's explanation, Cen Jiahua realized that harvesting peppers also requires certain skills, otherwise it will affect the yield and price.

Because of its hard texture and long-term storage, mature peppers are very popular among merchants and have relatively good prices. Those green peppers that are not yet mature are too high in moisture and are not resistant to storage, and are not the best choice for merchants. In addition, the single weight of peppers that are not yet fully mature is relatively small. If harvested, they will affect the yield to a certain extent.

As for the harvesting method, it is not enough to just grab the peppers randomly and pull them down. The branches of the peppers are very fragile, and it will cause damage if you are not careful. The correct way is to grab the peppers and gently break them against the direction of the sagging of the fruit shank. The peppers will be easily broken off, and it will not be a mistake at all.

After Old Chen gave the order, everyone was busy. After all, they always had to complete today's mission before noon when the sun was the strongest.

Half-squatting, Cen Jiahua began to patrol the first pepper that he was about to take action.

What a guy! The horned peppers were hanging on the branches under the green leaves, emitting a charming brilliance. After seeing the target clearly, Cen Jiahua quickly moved his hands and began to break down according to the method taught by Lao Chen.

Cen Jiahua, who had sharp eyes, naturally had no worries. He took a few steps to pull all the peppers that met the conditions on the first pepper into the plastic bucket. One, two plants,... Cen Jiahua was like an efficient harvesting machine, winding down the clouds and heading straight to the tail of the ridge.

Lao Chen, who was not very worried about Cen Jiahua, informed him that after secretly checking the plants and fruits that Cen Jiahua harvested, he had to admit that Cen Jiahua even did better than himself, so he just let him go.

Lao Chen's pepper field is very well managed, and basically every pepper is full of fruit. Cen Jiahua basically picked about 20 plants and could fill the plastic bucket he was carrying. He weighed it and it was estimated that it would be 5 or 6 kilograms.

According to the planting density of 2,500 plants per mu, today we can get at least 1,000 kilograms of harvest. However, peppers are not a one-span harvest like rice. They can generally be harvested 6-8 times. If managed properly, the yield per mu is 10,000 kilograms is no problem.

Although winter vegetables are large in yield and high in price, many people are willing to grow them, the disadvantages of growing winter vegetables are also obvious and not suitable for everyone. Take chili as an example to illustrate that chili is a typical crop with high investment and fine management to obtain some harvest. Once the investment in fertilizer is insufficient, the fruit-bearing rate of chili will decrease significantly; management will become even more cumbersome, because chili is a crop that is extremely susceptible to bacteria, and special attention should be paid to preventing and treating pests and diseases.

The more than acre of pepper fields in Lao Chen can have such a good harvest, but it is the result of his daily work in the fields over the past few months. Lao Chen basically goes twice a day, regardless of rain or rain. Even during the Spring Festival, it only doesn’t arrive on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first day of the first day.

After the peppers are harvested, they are packed and carried on the roadside, and then transported to the grain drying yard for scale for sale. All of this is the meaning of the question.

As for Cen Jiahua, every time he participates in the field, he can gain a different mood. This simple and pleasant mood is unfeelable in the city. When the fruit trees in the manor bear fruit in the future, it should be a good idea to allow tourists to freely enjoy the fun of picking by themselves.

Just in this slightly drunken warm breeze, spring is here!
Chapter completed!
