Basically, every family in the countryside has a vegetable garden. If they don't have jobs in the fields, they will plant more or less seasonal vegetables, such as peppers, eggplants, cabbages and beans. There are generally three ways to deal with endless peppers. The first is to dry the peppers. Both green and red peppers can be dried, and dried peppers can be preserved for several years without deterioration. The second method is to cook pickles, such as chopped pepper and sour pepper, which are all delicious meals. Especially chopped pepper, it not only keeps for a long time, but also tastes delicious. The third method is to "bury" the peppers for at least three months, so that you don't have to buy them in winter.

The third reason for burying peppers is as follows: 1. He buried pepper in the ashes of plants and then covered it with several layers of plant ashes. Cover it with something a little thicker to isolate the air. Fresh peppers will not rust, fade or rot. Make sure the pepper doesn't go bad. This is the application of chemical principles to prevent food from oxidative deterioration.

There are fewer vegetables in winter, and the prices of all vegetables are rising. In addition, due to the large demand for Spring Festival, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy peppers, so that the peppers stored in beginning of autumn can be sold and used, which greatly increases the income and reduces the disadvantages. This is also the old farmer's way of making money, that is, things sell at high prices.

3. In some pepper-rich places, there are so many peppers in winter that neither the warehouse nor the freezer can store such a huge amount of peppers, so this method is produced, and the cost is greatly reduced by using this method to preserve peppers. This is a way to store peppers in many areas in the north, and it also greatly reduces the losses of sellers.

It's no problem to store the peppers buried in this way for one year, so you can also store them at home in this way, which will give you different surprises. The above three points are also the reasons why peppers can't be eaten after the bumper harvest in beginning of autumn, and why some old farmers "bury" peppers. I hope I can help you.
