Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 23 Spiritual Pillar: Rapeseed Flowers
After the cucumbers, there are several pepper seedlings full of red peppers.

"What's that?"

Wang Ben was very curious and approached.

After seeing the first two, both of which could be eaten raw, Wang Ben thought that the delicate red pepper could also be eaten raw.

Chang Yu held back a smile beside him, and didn't make a sound to stop Wang Ben from taking it off and putting it in his mouth.

Boom!

There was a crisp tearing sound.

Wang Ben looked puzzled.

"no taste?"

"Don't worry, let the spiciness slow down for a while."

Chang Yu couldn't help laughing first, which made Shi Huangdi and the others baffled.

"what!"

Wang Ben suddenly screamed loudly and threw away half of the pepper in his hand.

His complexion was fair at first, but now it turned rosy in the blink of an eye.

"what is that!"

“Very spicy, very spicy!”

It's up!

Hahahaha!

Chang Yu's stomach hurts from laughing beside him.

Who made you wait for an explanation in such a hurry!

"Give me water, give me water!"

A 1.8-meter tall man was conquered by a small pepper, which made people shake their heads helplessly.

There was no water in the cultivation room, and Chang Yu didn't bother to run out, so he picked an apple in the back.

Wang Ben, who took the apple, just took a few mouthfuls and finished it with a crunch.

The juicy pulp filled the mouth, and the irritating spiciness in the mouth gradually subsided.

"I'm alive,"

After what happened just now, Wang Ben was sweating profusely and sat on the ground helplessly eating the fruit.

"What is this thing and why is it so spicy?" Li Si saw Wang Ben's reaction just now and subconsciously stayed away from those pepper plants.

"chili."

Chang Yu pursed his lips and felt helpless. He knew it was spicy but didn't know it was chili?

"chili?"

The First Emperor and Li Si looked at each other, and Wang Ben was also in a daze and then shook his head to express his ignorance.

"Don't you know chili?" Chang Yu turned over the white smoke and asked angrily, "Then what seasonings did you eat before this?"

"seasoning?"

Li Si and Shi Huang pondered for a moment, and then they came to their senses.

It is something similar to salt, which is added to the taste when cooking.

"Does the pepper know?"

Chang Yu asked them again.

"Ah, I know that!"

Li Si was a little excited, it could be said that he had caught a topic he knew.

"what is that"

The first emperor looked blank, why didn't he know what pepper was!

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"The prince of Shu County once offered a batch of things that resembled fruits."

"At that time, you thought it was a kind of wild fruit, so you picked one up and tasted it, but it tasted so spicy that you vomited."

"I almost dragged down the prince who made the offering. Fortunately, there were ministers from Shu County above the court, who came out in time to explain to you, so you took it back." Li Si was a little excited and funny, this time it can be regarded as There is no generation gap with Chang Yu!

Prince of Shu County?
Offer up?

Hey, do you really think you are Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty? !

These guys are so pitiful, they are so addicted to role-playing that they can't get back to their senses.

Although it sounds strange, Chang Yu still nodded and said yes.

"That's right, chili, similar to Sichuan pepper, is a spicy seasoning, but chili is more pungent than Sichuan pepper."

"Ow!"

The first emperor suddenly realized, and he was also a little excited, which can be regarded as matching what he knew.

It also means that this kind of thing exists in the place where Chang Yu came, doesn't that mean that the place where Chang Yu came is not far away?

I don't know what they are excited about, and Chang Yu doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

Watching Wang Ben go to pick a few more apples and come back.

Shi Huangdi and Li Si took it, wiped it and put it in their mouths to bite.

"That's..." Chang Yu was about to say something, but the three of them said at the same time: "This is an apple, it can be eaten raw, we know it!"

Hey guys!

Actually know Apple!

Chang Yu is a little funny, but there is no need to explain this. It seems that they are not completely stupid!
There are not only these plants in the cultivation room, but also tomatoes in the germination stage, which will bear fruit in about half a month.

There was no result, and I didn’t know how to explain it, so I simply stopped talking to them.

"correct,"

Wang Ben bit the apple and pointed at the rear.

"When I went to pick fruit just now, I saw a piece of rapeseed behind. Why did you move here to plant?"

Rapeseed flowers are quite common, but not a very rare thing.

When the Qin army attacked Wei and Liang, they passed through a rapeseed field consisting of several mountains.

Qin Jun, Liang Jun and Wei Jun all had large-scale conflicts in the rapeseed field.

At that time, the general in front of the battle was Wang Ben's father, Wang Jian, so when he saw the rape blossoms, he remembered those battles back then.

Rapeseed flowers are edible and can be used to boil oil, etc. It is not uncommon in Daqin.

What made Wang Ben curious was that there were many foods on the desert island that they had never seen outside, but rapeseed flowers were the most familiar.

He really wanted to know why Chang Yu planted rapeseed flowers in the cultivation room alone.

Emperor Shihuang and Li Si, who were eating apples, also looked at Chang Yu curiously and waited for him to answer.

When this matter was mentioned, Chang Yu's expression became a little bitter, and he couldn't help feeling homesick in his heart.

Rapeseed flowers are indeed very common and not precious, but in memory, rapeseed flowers are a symbol of hometown.

When I was a child, inside and outside the village, there were rape flowers all over the mountains and plains.

When I grew up and went out, whenever I missed home and couldn't take the time to go back, I would look at the rapeseed flowers and smell them.

I used to think that it was not a big deal to go home, so there was no need to travel so far home.

I can't go back this time, but I can always go back next time.

Just use this excuse several times to shirk homesickness.

But this time I went too far, too far away from home for too long.

I don't even know if there is a chance to go back.

Fortunately, because of this evasive reason, Chang Yu has formed a habit, so that Chang Yu will bring a few rapeseed seeds with him whenever he travels far away.

The land on the desert island is so barren that rapeseed seeds cannot germinate at all, so only a very small number can be cultivated bit by bit in the cultivation room.

Rapeseed flowers can be pressed into vegetable oil, which tastes very fragrant and fragrant, and it is also the taste of home.

But after Chang Yu cultivated it, he did not use rapeseed to extract oil, but placed it in the cultivation room to bloom and wither again and again.

Why?
Are you homesick?
If you can take a bite of rapeseed oil with the taste of hometown, wouldn't it relieve your homesickness?

Of course Chang Yu knew it, and he could do it.

But if rape flowers are used to extract oil, the barren land on the desert island may not be able to cultivate the second batch.

There is no need to sacrifice to eat rapeseed oil, which symbolizes the spiritual pillar of hometown: rapeseed flower

It's been a long time since I came out this time, and it's far enough away from home.

When to go back, he has no idea at all.

Maybe, maybe, never going back
