Female-to-male: I live on farming

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Ke took his men to the farmland in a hurry. Qin Ke squatted down and looked at the base of the stems. They had shrunk and become thinner. The epidermis at the base of the stems had turned from green to dark brown, and the color of the leaves in the middle and lower parts had turned yellow.

This is a sign that the potatoes have reached maturity.

He picked up a hoe and gently dug up the soil, unearthed the roots of one of the plants, and turned out five or six round potatoes, each of which was about the size of Qin Ke's palm.

After putting the potatoes into the basket carried by Han Qi, Qin Ke stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "Take these back carefully, and then recruit people from the village to harvest them before it snows."

"My dear, I'm afraid they don't even know how to harvest these potatoes."

"Remove the vines first. Let them use sickles to cut the potato vines cleanly from the base." Qin Ke decided to let Lei Zhong do this. He is now familiar with this kind of thing.

To harvest potatoes, you need to remove the seedlings first and then harvest them. Use tools to gently pry the soil to expose the potatoes, and then pick them up.

Moreover, the harvested potatoes cannot be left in the sun to dry, otherwise the skin of the potatoes will turn green. Green potatoes not only look bad, but may also be dangerous to eat.

Qin Ke decided to reserve at least half of the potatoes from the 20 acres of land for seeds. He couldn't always rely on the seeds from the system. The best way was to let the local people be self-sufficient.

After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

After arranging the potatoes, Qin Ke continued to go to the greenhouse. Since the peppers were ripe, he went to take a look at the greenhouse where the peppers were planted.

Qin Ke opened the curtain and saw clusters of green leaves full of huge fruits, like strings of golden agate, and the red peppers were shining with an attractive luster.

I picked one and gently put it in my mouth and took a small bite. The pepper tasted spicy and delicious, and the hot taste spread in my mouth, leaving me with an endless aftertaste.

When Han Qi and the others saw Young Master tasting the colorful thing himself, they all stared at him with wide eyes without blinking.

"My dear, this?"

After nearly a year, Qin Ke finally tasted spicy food again. He was contentedly feeling the spicy taste in his taste buds. Seeing the people around him staring at him curiously, he smiled and said, "You can try it, but it's best to take a small bite at first, in case you can't stand the taste."

Seeing this, Han Qi, Pei Xiu and others also picked one to taste.

Han Qi bit off half of it and felt as if his tongue was on fire. The burning pain quickly spread. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide, trying to use air to relieve the burning sensation.

Qin Ke looked at his eyes which were filled with tears and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Pei Xiu listened to the advice more and only bit off a little bit of the tip of the pepper. His reaction was also very calm and dignified.

"I've never tasted this flavor before. I wonder what kind of food can be made from this thing?" Pei Xiu thought more comprehensively.

Qin Ke smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

Continue to arrange the picking matters. Picking peppers is much simpler, and you can choose to dry them after picking, so that they can be preserved for a long time.

Next came the tomatoes. Just as Pei Xiu had said, most of them were still green, but they were slowly beginning to turn red.

Finally, they came to the leek greenhouse. Because leek is a local vegetable, Pei Xiu kept a close eye on it on weekdays, worried that someone would secretly cut some and take some home. After all, leek is very expensive in winter and only rich people can eat it.

"After the leeks are harvested, they can be taken directly to Caiyue Tower. I have already agreed with the owner of Caiyue Tower to purchase them at the market price." Pei Xiu lowered his brows and suggested.

Qin Ke didn't like leeks to begin with, and he couldn't think of any other delicious ways to cook them except making stuffing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

And he had never thought about cooperating with other restaurants.

After a round of inspection, it was already noon, and everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged anyway.

Now, the people under his command, whether it is Nan Qiao or Han Qi Leizhong, have gradually become able to take charge of things on their own after this period of training, and there is no problem at all handing these small matters over to them.

But... Qin Ke glanced at Pei Xiu. What he lacked was senior management personnel, such as Pei Xiu, who was educated and literate.

Qin Ke only asked her to manage it for a while, but she managed to keep it in order, and the records were clear and detailed.

I really want to dig her over.

Pei Xiu Ke didn't know that Qin Ke had already planned to recruit her under his command. She was very curious about how to eat potatoes and peppers.

Lu Youqing was in the study today, calculating the family's account books for the past few days. As soon as Qin Ke came home, she ran to the study to share today's results with her.

"Oh? It seems that my husband is very excited? I wonder what it tastes like?" Lu Youqing stopped fiddling with the abacus, held up her chin and looked at him, with a smile on her lips.

Since the college entrance examination, Lu Youqing has been much more relaxed and no longer has a tense expression like before.

"Hey, lady, just wait and see." Qin Ke was also very excited. The feeling of finally seeing familiar things in a foreign land was indescribable.

He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen to show off his skills.

He had been eating almost nothing for the past six months, and now that he had gotten something new, he couldn't wait to try it.

He asked Lei Zhong to get a fish. He planned to make boiled fish first to test their acceptance of spicy dishes. Fortunately, he had bought some soybeans to grow bean sprouts. Even though he was not at home for some time, Han Qi and his friends often grew bean sprouts.

This is one of the few vegetables they have in winter.

While waiting for Lei Zhong to buy fish, Qin Ke stewed some pork again, but this time he added some potato cubes.

He asked Han Qi to bring back some potatoes, and put half of them into the stew. He planned to make the rest into cold potato shreds. He fried some chili oil and poured it on top, and added a little bit of sugar to ensure the freshness, freshness and deliciousness.

When he finished making this dish, the pork was already stewing in the pot, and Lei Zhong happened to come back with the fish he had bought.

Remove the fish head and fish teeth, slice off the fish bones, separate the fish meat and bones, then slice the fish meat and marinate it with a small amount of salt, rice wine and egg white for half an hour to increase the flavor and tenderness.

Qin Ke added oil to the pot, added peppercorns, chili peppers, onions, garlic and other ingredients and stir-fried them until fragrant, then added some seasonings, boiled the fish fillets with water, and finally added the bean sprouts.

The aroma of chili peppers filled the entire kitchen and drifted into the yard through the window. Lu Youqing, who smelled the aroma, could no longer sit still and stood up and walked to the kitchen door. At this time, a group of people who were attracted by the aroma had gathered at the kitchen door.
