In the years of ancient traders

"Chili, so it's called chili." He Man learned to pronounce this new Chinese word.

Song Shu: ...

"Where did you get it?"

This Hu merchant came to him with a large cart of dried peppers, but he didn't know what it was?

"It's a long story." He Man didn't care if it was a place, and talked about his experience at the gate of the Song family's courtyard, "...then I brought this thing to Middle-earth, someone told me you Knowing what this is, I'm leaving..."

He Man's accent was weird and long-winded. Song Shu felt dizzy when he heard it, but he also knew that he was fooled into buying this chili pepper. Someone mentioned him to him, and he came over.

Last time Bai Yicheng also said that people from Dingzhou advised him to come to Xianghe, and this time He Man did the same. He did not expect that his reputation would spread so widely in just over half a year.

"Uncle, how do you sell this pepper?" Song Shu asked.

"Hmm..." He Man crossed his arms and thought for a long time, "You can give me some advice? I want to settle in Middle-earth, how much will it cost?"

Song Shu: ...

No wonder he can be fooled.

Song Shu asked He Man to park the car in their yard, and the mule led them to the cowshed to graze.There is a gold box in the main room where Song Shu lives, and it is inconvenient to always bring outsiders in, so as not to arouse jealousy.Song He and his wife lived in the main room in the backyard, which was not very convenient. The east room in the backyard was not occupied by people, but it was relatively clean, so Song Shu took him there.

"This house looks normal from the outside, but it's really nice inside." He Man walked into the house. There were mats on the floor, a large low table for eating in the middle, and a dozen or so cushions stacked in the corner, because every meal would With the fire wall, the house is much warmer than the outside.

In fact, this He Man is very easy to fool, Song Shu can give him something casually, and send him away.But after all, he sent chili, spicy chicken diced, chopped pepper fish head, mapo tofu, butter hot pot... Song Shu has been thinking about chili for a long time, but it is a pity that he does not have it in his farmhouse, and the last bit of dried chili is also traveling through time. It happened to be used up before, so he poured out the old godmother and looked for it carefully. Unfortunately, he didn't find any chili seeds that could be planted.

Song Shu was still thinking about how much to give, Song Anan came in from outside.

He slightly tilted his head outward, and asked Song Shu, "What?"

"Chili is what's in the hot pot." Song Shu explained that Song Anan had eaten almost every flavor of self-cooking small hot pot in his collection, and was particularly fond of all kinds of hot pots.

"How much?" Song Anan immediately sat down beside Song Shu.

Song Shu turned to look at him in surprise, but he ignored him and stared at He Man blankly.Since when did Song Anan start caring about doing business?Every time Song Shu did business, Song Anan acted as a strong labor force or bodyguard. After doing a publicity occasionally, he managed the steamed bun workshop.

He is very responsible, and he does it himself every time he buys ingredients, so that the seller does not take advantage of the loopholes.But to Song Anan, it was as if his movements had to be standard when he was practicing, and the price of the ingredients was just a string of numbers, as long as they were standard enough, he didn't seem to care about how much money he made.

Every time Song Shu gave him money, he just threw it in the cabinet.After a few times, Song Shu didn't bother to give it.

But this time, he actually cared about business?has a problem.

"Would you like to give it a try?" He Man still said the same thing, he just learned that this fruit is called pepper today, he gnawed it once before, and it stuck from his tongue to the mouth of his throat, coughing so hard that he couldn't stop, and his stomach was still burning Yes, this food is so unpalatable, it's not bad if people are willing to pay for it, and he is really embarrassed to ask for a price.

Song Shu didn't speak at all, he wanted to see what Song Anan was thinking.

Song Anan glanced at Song Shu, but Song Shu didn't respond.He poked his waist with his elbow, but Song Shu still didn't respond.

Song Anan became a little uneasy. He changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, and poked Song Shu's knee under the table again, as if asking for help.Song Shu smiled at him, but still didn't speak.

He Man looked at the two people opposite, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

I really begged these two ancestors, what to discuss?Hurry up and make your bid.

Song Anan realized that it was hopeless to ask for help, so he ignored Song Shu, thought for a while, and finally stretched out a finger: "One gold."

"One gold?" He Man didn't seem to understand, and after a while, his face was flushed with excitement, "Well, one gold, one gold, you are so generous, may Amon bless you!"

Song Shu's face also turned red, but it was from anger.

Bastard Song Anan, the steamed bun workshop has a set of management, so don't you treat money as money now?One gold is not one tael, it is a catty of gold, 16 taels, it is worth a hundred dollars.These sixteen gold ingots are more than enough to buy a farmer's harvest for a whole year, and he actually gave it away without asking?

Song Shu's flesh hurts.

"Give me the money." Song Anan urged.

Song Shu really hated himself who didn't speak just now, he knew he was out of skin, is it interesting to see Song Anan poking his knee at a loss?Is it interesting?

Yes, very interesting.

When Song Shu handed over the money, his heart was bleeding.

Fun to go to XX.

He Man took the sixteen gold ingots and weighed them, they were quite heavy.

After sending He Man away, Song Shu turned back and walked into the yard, only to see Song Anan standing beside the cart containing peppers, picked up one, bit it down, and even chewed it.

"Cough, cough." Song Anan covered his mouth, tears came out of the corners of his eyes, and his face turned red.

"Hahahahahaha, drink some water, hahahahahahaha." Song Shu laughed so hard that his stomach cramped and made you anxious, can peppers be eaten like this?

Song Anan didn't even have time to stare at him, so he ran into the kitchen and poured a big glass of water, which made it a little better.

In fact, I should have given him Coca-Cola just now, it was sweet and spicy, so it was sour.Song Shu wandered into the kitchen slowly, thinking in his heart.

"Tell me, are you hungry?" Song Shu asked.

He didn't think of it at first, but the scene of Song Anan eating peppers made him suddenly realize that this guy is hungry.Most likely he heard that chili can be used for hot pot, so he remembered the self-cooking small hot pot that he ate before. Unfortunately, he didn't know that hot pot could be made with just one chili.

Song Anan didn't gnaw, and took another big mouthful of water.

"Are you still eating peppers?" Song Shu looked at him and smiled, not caring about being stared at.

Song Anan did not speak, and continued to pour water.

"Hahahaha." Song Shu admired enough, and felt that the gold flower was so good that he didn't complain. Anyway, the next crop of garlic will grow well, and if he kills Yang Jian and the others a few times, he will get a few hundred taels again.

"Song Silang, what fresh food did you buy?"

Someone came to Song's courtyard.The news of the Hu merchants' arrival spread throughout the village. Everyone heard that Song Shu had acquired something new, and they all came to watch the excitement.They came late and did not see Song Anan's distressed appearance.

A few people who were familiar with Song Shu went straight into the yard, picked up a red pepper and looked at it carefully.

"Is this edible?" someone asked.

"Of course, why else would Song Silang buy it?" Another person said.

"Can we try it?" someone asked again.

Song Shu nodded, and was about to tell them to taste the dishes after cooking, but these people were quick and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Brother, brother, did you just buy this?" Liu Niang came back from the outside, took one and stuffed it into her mouth, Song Shu couldn't stop her.

Cough, Kekekekeke, Kekeke ... Suddenly, the cough sounds one after another.

"What's the matter?" The newcomer looked surprised.

"Cough... Song... cough, Song Silang, what is this? It's so choking!" The man took a big bite just now, but now his whole tongue and throat are burning. It's neither ginger nor dogwood. What's the pungent taste? so heavy.

"This is chili, it tastes good when it's put in dishes or made into chili sauce." Song Shu said, bringing out a bowl of soy milk for Liu Niang to relieve the heat.

"Put this thing in the vegetable?" One of the people who ate the chili turned pale in shock, "Can it be eaten?"

"Of course, it's delicious. If you don't believe me, ask Anan." Song Shu said.Song Anan just came out of the stove after pouring water, his stomach was still burning, and he might not get better in a while.

"Anan, Song Silang said that this food is delicious in vegetables?" The man really asked.

All the villagers looked at him expectantly.

Song Anan was in a dilemma.

It's against his will to say it's not delicious, he eats hot pot very well.Let's talk about delicious food, he thought of his embarrassment just now, and felt unwilling.

This question is so difficult.

"Yes, change it to Xiaoding, marinate with salt and wine."

Chu Ning had just left work at the mantou workshop when he was caught by Song Shu as a cook.When he saw the cart of red peppers in the yard, he almost tasted it, but fortunately, Song Shu stopped him quickly.Then Song Shu said that he would teach him new dishes, so he stayed behind.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Liu Niang ran in, she still had soy milk in her hand, the pepper just now made her choked.

"Make spicy chicken." Song Shu said.

"Using chili?" Liu Niang looked at the few red and shriveled fruits not far away, with a look of disgust.

"It's delicious." Song Shu said.

He looked serious, but Liu Niang couldn't believe it, she added some icing sugar to the soy milk, and ran away with it.Song Anan was not there either, he seemed a little dissatisfied with Song Shu giving Liuniang soy milk but not giving him, so he went to the steamed bun shop to drive the donkey to grind flour.

Chu Ning poured oil into the pan and fried the diced chicken following Song Shu's instructions.

After frying, take out and drain the oil.Pour off a little oil in the pan, add sliced ​​ginger and garlic, and pour in the chicken.The golden chicken was stir-fried with ginger and garlic, and the fragrance was overflowing, which attracted Liu Niang who ran away just now.Song Shu also caught a glimpse of Song Anan's trouser legs, which seemed to be in the yard?

"It smells so good." Liu Niang seemed to have forgotten how much she disliked peppers just now, and squeezed to the stove, staring at Chu Ning's frying pan.

"Add Chinese prickly ash and dried chili, and then stir well." Song Shu said.The ingredients here are limited. This spicy chicken dish is a bit simpler, but it’s good to have the meaning.

The aroma of the chili was released after stir-frying, and Liu Niang smelled it, and thought of the burning feeling a little timidly, but it was fragrant.Song Shu picked up a piece and ate it, praising Chu Ning's craftsmanship.

Liu Niang became even more greedy.

Do you want to try it?

All the way into the east room in the backyard, Liu Niang still didn't make up her mind.

As soon as she sat down, Song Anan, who suffered from chili like her, put down his chopsticks quickly.

good to eat.

Song Anan picked up two more pieces of chicken, and was extremely satisfied with the gold he spent today.
