After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 241 Peppers Ripen

After breakfast, the other three children except Lin Jinxiu took Grandpa Huang’s ox cart to school. Lin Chuyi would start to give Lin Jinxiu one-on-one tutoring, teaching her how to recognize words, literacy, and read account books.

Each teaching session lasts for one hour. When the time is up, Lin Chuyi will stop teaching and will never delay the class. After assigning homework to Lin Jinxiu, she will be alone in the yard fiddling with various tools and farm implements, upgrading the tools and testing their practicality.

If she completed the improvement goals she set for herself ahead of schedule, she would stroll into the kitchen and instruct Aunt Huang and Madam Shen to make lunch.

In the afternoon, Lin Chuyi either followed Grandpa Huang to the fields and orchards to inspect the growth of peppers and fruit trees, or went into the mountains to look for new species that were not available in the space.

If it is the former, she will go home with Grandpa Huang after the inspection and gather the four people in the family together to give lectures. Usually the lecture time will last until Grandpa Huang goes to pick up the children from school.

The content of this lecture is not limited to reading and arithmetic. Lin Chuyi will also use storytelling to popularize the law to them. This way of interspersing lectures will not be boring and will make it easier to focus their attention. It can also popularize current laws and regulations to them, so that when they encounter similar things in the future, they will know how to deal with them.

If it is the latter, she will usually go home when it is dark. When she returns home, Aunt Huang and the others have already prepared dinner for the day. After dinner, it is already dark, and it is time for her to teach the three children at home.

She would go into the study to guide her three children in their studies, answer various questions they raised, and then begin to correct the homework submitted by the other four.

Lin Jinxiu's class time is the longest among the four, and she has the most homework, but her completion rate is only average.

Not to mention Grandpa Huang and Aunt Huang, who only started learning literacy and arithmetic at this age. Even though Lin Chuyi's lectures are lively and interesting, it is a fact that their memory is not as good as before, and they still have some difficulty learning.

Fortunately, when Lin Chuyi asked them to learn to write, he used homemade charcoal pencils, which were easier to control than brushes, saving them a lot of trouble.

For Ms. Shen, who had learned calligraphy, writing with a charcoal pencil was undoubtedly a new experience, but because of her previous foundation, her learning progress was the fastest among the four.

But Madam Shen deliberately concealed her shortcomings. Except for the first two times when she was the first in the studies, she has always been below Lin Jinxiu and ranked second.

Lin Chuyi knew that this was Madam Shen's self-protection behavior after she had gone through hardships. She understood this and continued to pretend to be ignorant and let her hide her abilities. Madam Shen had already shown her embroidery skills. Lin Chuyi believed that the day when Madam Shen would open her heart to her was not far away, and she just needed to wait quietly.

After completing the work of teaching and correcting homework, it is time to take a break.

After returning to his room, Lin Chuyi would make a small summary, record the tools to be added next, and then draw the drawings of the tools that were successfully tested each day and save them in the space, to be handed over to Qian Lai to arrange mass production later.

After completing this series of tasks, she would enter the space, check the major events of the day, set work tasks for the next day for employees, and then go into the small building to wash up and rest.

When the children have days off, Lin Chuyi will change his schedule and either take them to work in the fields to experience the difficulties of farmers' work, or take them to the city to buy daily necessities.

In short, every day at home is fully arranged by Lin Chuyi.

Time flies, and soon it was time for the peppers to mature. Lin Chuyi led his whole family to the fields, and together with the villagers, they worked for several days and finally harvested all the peppers in the fields.

On the day of delivery, Lin Chuyi and the village head were waiting early in the large drying yard in the center of the village. Two large scales were placed in the yard for weighing and counting on the spot.

The head of the village was in charge of supervision, and Lin Chuyi was in charge of counting and stamping. Basically, the pepper yield per mu of every household exceeded 1,800 kilograms, and even the lowest was at least 1,600 or 1,700 kilograms.

According to Lin Chuyi's original promise, apart from the 1,500 kilograms to be handed over, the remaining peppers can be sold to Lin Chuyi at the price of two cents per kilogram.

In other words, the villagers not only received the land rent and employment fees from Lin Chuyi, but now the hundreds of kilograms of peppers they got for free can be turned into thousands of copper coins.

Everyone who participated in the pepper planting was very happy. Although they had not received the money yet, they believed that Lin Chuyi would not cheat.

Lin Chuyi said this before, but she did not intend to buy the remaining peppers at the low price of two cents per pound. What she wanted to do was to use this batch of peppers to help the villagers get rich.

Just as they were weighing the peppers, the people from Lulutong arrived as scheduled, led by Lin Wu. Lin Chuyi took a special look at the people Lin Wu brought, she didn't recognize any of them. Lin Chuyi gave Lin Wu an admiring look, then walked up to and exchanged a few words with Lin Wu. Lin Wu then began to call people to load the peppers that belonged to Lin Chuyi and that were handed over by the villagers into the truck first.

Lin Chuyi returned to the group of villagers. At this time, Grandpa Huang had already used a ox cart to transport the big pot, chopping board, kitchen knife, stove, and a series of ingredients from his home.

The village head didn't understand why, but he still asked his son to help set up the stove.

Lin Chuyi took advantage of this opportunity and clapped his hands vigorously a few times to attract the villagers' attention.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me." As soon as Lin Chuyi's voice came out, the scene gradually became quiet.

When Lin Chu saw that most of the people were looking at her, she pointed to the temporary stove she was building and said to everyone, "Next, I will teach you how to make chili sauce here, as well as the amount of chili to use and the precautions for cooking. Finally, I will also make a pot of Chuanchuanxiang and pass on the recipe to everyone. I will only demonstrate it once, and I hope everyone can learn how to make these types of chili."

After hearing what Lin Chuyi meant, the crowd was in an uproar. Not only were the villagers surprised and shocked, but even the head of the village was astounded by Lin Chuyi's generosity.

The crowd's discussions gradually died down as Lin Chuyi stood next to the makeshift stove. Everyone stared at Lin Chuyi intently, afraid of missing any details.

The ingredients were all prepared at home, and Lin Chuyi started her cooking class directly.

For the next half hour, Lin Chuyi's mouth and hands were never idle. He made two large jars of chili sauce, three dishes stir-fried with chili peppers, and a large pot of skewers.
