Du He personally commanded the crowd to cut open each pepper, remove all the seeds, and then send it to the houses of the big shots in the court according to the original promise.

Li Chengqian was very puzzled by this behavior: "Teacher, since the chili is a gift from you to the ministers, wouldn't it be better to keep it as it is, and cut it off and lose a part, wouldn't it make people unhappy."

"Your Highness, this statement is wrong. The essence of chili peppers lies in the outer flesh. As for the seeds, not only have no taste, but they are superfluous when eaten in the mouth..." Du He explained with a smile, "Since it is a gift, it must be given as a gift." Best of all, how can you let everyone eat this imperfect chili, right?"

"Oh, the teacher's understanding of righteousness is really admirable to the students. Fortunately, there are rumors in Chang'an that the teacher grows peppers to make money. How do they know the nobility of the teacher!"

Du He said in a timely manner: "Nobility is the epitaph of the noble, and meanness is the underpants of the mean."

Li Chengqian thought about it carefully, this sentence is incisive and should be passed down through the ages, but the word "big underpants" is not beautiful even though it is an appropriate metaphor.

But this is what the teacher said, and if you agree, it's over.

The peppers sent to Chang'an were loaded with two carriages.

In order to show importance, he was personally escorted by Fu Dazhu, son of Sinong County, and sent to the mansions of the ministers in person. Moreover, the momentum was so great that it became a strange event that happened in Chang'an City recently.

……

Chapter 969? Unstoppable

Naturally, after the ministers received the chili peppers, they all wondered why the chili peppers were cut open, and Lao Fu naturally answered them one by one. This is because the son-in-law asked the servants to do this for everyone's sake.

Many people felt that Du He was not a good character, but he did things well.

And Sikong Mansion.

Snapped.

Changsun Wuji threw the cup on the ground and roared angrily: "Shit, huh, Du He is so kind, he still wants me to thank him, it's really unreasonable, it is obvious that he asked people to get rid of all the seeds of this pepper , In this way, even if someone buys peppers from Huxian farm at a high price, they don’t want to grow them, it’s really a shame!"

At the same time, peppers became a hot topic in Chang'an City.

Because everyone suddenly discovered that no matter how rich you are, how rich you are, or how powerful you are, those who may eat chili are the top few people in Datang, and others are not qualified at all.

Of course, many people started relationships, racked their brains and thought of many ways, and went to the ministers' houses to have a meal.

After these people ate it, they naturally couldn't speak ill of the chili pepper. They all said that it was a magic medicine. After eating it, their waists and legs didn't hurt anymore, and they didn't have to pant all the way to Hu County.

For a time, eating chili became a status symbol.

……

Situ House.

wow.

The dinner plate on the table was smashed to the ground by Wang Gui.

The butler and servants all stood cautiously aside, not daring to show their air.

Wang Gui stood up and said angrily, "Today's dishes don't have chili peppers. They taste like wax. How did the cook cook them? Why don't you put chili peppers?"

The butler said aggrievedly: "Master, it's not that the cook doesn't keep the chili, it's because the chili has been eaten."

"Oh……"

Wang Gui was taken aback.

At the beginning, Du He asked someone to send ten catties of pepper.

Wang Gui was not used to eating at first, but after eating two more meals, he couldn't do without one meal. He had to eat chili for three meals a day, and ten catties of chili was not enough for several days.

"Immediately send someone to go to the Hu county farm to find Du He, and tell me that the old man wants to eat chili, and ask him to sell some to the old man. The price is not a problem..." Wang Gui showed a wry smile.

The butler said cautiously: "Master, Dream Group came early this morning and sent some leaflets, saying that we can read them when we have nothing to do."

Wang Gui asked, "Leaflet? What do you mean?"

The housekeeper explained: "It's just a piece of paper with the sale of chili peppers written on it. I saw it was useless, so I just threw it away!"

Snapped.

Wang Gui frowned, and said angrily: "You bastard, why don't you hurry up and get the old man to have a look!"

The butler hurriedly took his servants to look for it. After a while, the leaflet was found and sent to Wang Gui.

I saw that it was a piece of high-quality paper with a few red peppers in the middle. First come first served.

Wang Gui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The old man said a long time ago, Du He, how could he give chili peppers for free... Before, everyone had never eaten chili peppers, and the sky-high price of a hundred pennies a catty may not be willing to buy, but now, like the old man Such people are definitely not in the minority, we... all fell into Du He's trap, this guy is really hard to guard against!"

The butler asked curiously, "Master, then..."

"Then what, why don't you hurry up and send someone to buy chili, or it will be gone if you go late!"

"Yes!"

The entire Situ Mansion became busy in no time.

Sikong House.

Zhang House.

Chen House.

Li House.

Similar things happened.

the same day.

Li Chengqian, the director of the Hu County Farm Research Institute, sold out a hundred catties of peppers for the day, looked at the boxes at his feet full of Kaiyuan Tongbao, and suddenly smiled like a fool.

……

at dusk.

Chang'an City.

Outside Yongning Gate, a carriage came.

The carriage was tattered, and even the curtain of the carriage had several big holes.

The coachman who drives the coach is very old and weak.

"Miss, we've arrived in Chang'an City!" the coachman cheered up and shouted.

A voice like a silver bell came from inside the carriage: "Oh!"
