Tang's dining table

Yun Chu's words clearly showed his contempt for Wu Mei.

However, this is not the first time that he has despised the emperor and his wife, and Li Hong has long been accustomed to his master using his parents as positive and negative examples to teach him the truth.

"Is my mother selfish?"

Yun Chu said: "Big men are all selfish in nature, so all dynasties in the past dynasties will go through a process from beginning to prosperity to destruction. The only difference is the length of time."

"Will the Tang Dynasty be like this too?"

"Go away, I don't want to fuck you properly."

"That's it."

Yun Chu remained silent, while Li Hong kept looking at Yun Chu sideways, their eyes full of contempt.

"I heard that you were beaten all over your head by Sun Shenxian?"

"Who told you that?"

"Naha, she said the old god was bullying you."

"The old god didn't bully me."

"Then you must have done something that the old god doesn't like very much, and it must be the wrong thing."

Yunchu sighed and said: "I want to use the old immortal's words of immortality to trick everyone in the world into helping us find which crops."

Li Hongdao: "Those things are really that good?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "If you have those few things, and then cultivate them carefully and do a good job in eradicating poisons, as long as your Li family does not produce an emperor like Jie Zhou, maybe this country can really last for a long time. Handed down."

Li Hong looked at Yun Chu mysteriously and said, "So, those things are poisons, right?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Nonsense is all serious and good stuff."

Li Hong took out a small cloth bag from his arms, then opened it carefully and placed it in front of Yun Chu.

Yun Chu just glanced at it and felt that his breathing was about to stop. He trembled: "Where did you get it from?"

Li Hong whispered: "You stole it from my mother. You have to be careful. My mother is going to use this matter against you."

Yun Chu looked at the dried red pepper in the middle of the handkerchief with fascinated eyes. It was bright red and very well preserved, and the skin even shone with red light.

"This thing belongs to me." As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, he wrapped the handkerchief at lightning speed and put the thing into his arms as quickly as possible.

"My mother has identified it and it is poisonous."

Li Hong whispered to Yun Chu again.

Yun Chu turned a deaf ear to the idea that peppers were poisonous. He held Li Hong's hand affectionately and said, "So, the queen still has a lot of this stuff in her hand?"

Li Hong said in confusion: "Although there are not many, there are still more than a dozen. Not to mention that this thing is not delicious at all, and people who eat it will be poisoned.

It can be used as poison but it can't kill people.

Tell me, what do you want this for? "

Seeing the look of a fool appearing in the master's eyes again, Li Hong immediately waved his hand and said: "Anyway, be careful. My mother and father are planning to use this thing to deal with you."

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Very good, I'll go into the palace right now and ask to see the queen to see if I can get all these things."

Li Hong said anxiously: "If you go, won't you betray me?"

Yunchu laughed and said, "You know nothing."

Li Hong hugged Yunchu's arm and said loudly: "If my mother knows that I stole her things this time, there will be no way if I want to steal her things again in the future."

At this time, Yunchu had already discovered the chili pepper and was so happy that he almost fainted. He couldn't care about such a trivial matter as Li Hong was caught stealing.

It was because teaching Yunchu a lesson was not a big deal to Wu Mei that Li Hong could succeed. If he really wanted to do something dirty, Li Hong would never have any chance.

For Yun Chu, discovering chili peppers meant that someone had discovered the way to South America. Therefore, he now wanted to ask the queen directly who discovered the chili peppers and brought them back to Chang'an.

It was very rude for a foreign minister to ask to see the queen, so Yun Chu brought Naha and Li Hong with him.

When Naha heard that she was going to meet the queen, she was somewhat happy. After all, she could get a lot of benefits every time she met the queen. ’

Li Hong was not willing to go with Yunchu to meet his mother. As soon as they met, his stealing of his mother's things would be immediately exposed.

A carriage carried the three of them into the palace city.

Wu Mei, who was holding Li Xian and looking around and liking him more and more, heard that Yunchu, the prince and Naha asked to see him.

He carefully put down Li Xian and coaxed his beloved son to sleep. Then he got ready to meet the foreign ministers. He put on a big coat and waited for the bead curtain to be lowered and all the female officials, palace servants and eunuchs to arrive. , and then summoned Yun Chu to come in.

After Li Hong came in, he immediately got behind the bead curtain. Immediately, Naha was also greeted by Wu Mei into the bead curtain, leaving Yunchu standing awkwardly in the middle of the smooth floor of Liangyi Hall.

Soon, Li Hong's whispering voice came from the bead curtain. Although the voice was not loud, Yun Chu could hear that Li Hong was trying hard to shirk his responsibility for stealing, and encouraged his mother to ask Yun Chu for help. I want 10,000 yuan of chili money.

Then Naha's voice came from inside to defend her brother. She pointed out directly that this was the result of Li Hong's habit of being a thief. It was he who stole the peppers to show off to his brother, which led to the current situation.

She also took as an example the fact that Li Hong lent her a lot of money and failed to repay it, and worked hard to prove to Wu Mei that her son, the prince Li Hong, was a shameless villain with despicable character.

Maybe Naha's complaint was successful, but Li Hong didn't know who pushed him out of the bead curtain and sat on the futon brought by the palace people like Yun Chu.

Wu Mei's clear voice came from behind the curtain.

"Is this what you call chili?"

Yun Chu took out the very beautiful-looking chili pepper he got from Li Hong and put it on his handkerchief, and respectfully replied: "Exactly!"

Wu Mei asked again: "Are you sure this is the crop called pepper that you said is beneficial to all people?"

Yunchu once again replied with the most upright attitude: "Exactly."

Wu Mei said again: "Are you really willing to pay 10,000 yuan for this thing?"

Yunchu smiled confidently: "Then it depends on whether Her Royal Highness the Queen wants to sell this thing to Wannian County or Weichen."

Wu Mei said: "What's the difference?"

Yunchu said: "If you sell it to Wannian County, from now on, this thing will be a specialty of Wannian County and can make all people rich.

If it is sold to Weichen, then this thing will be the exclusive property of the Yun family and can make the Yun family rich. "

Wu Mei snorted coldly and said, "Are you going to sell this poison to the people of Tang Dynasty for profit?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "To report back to Her Majesty the Queen, because of its unique flavor, chili peppers can stimulate saliva secretion, increase appetite, promote food digestion and absorption, and relieve symptoms of indigestion.

Chili peppers also have anti-toxic effects. Like anti-toxic drugs, they can kill some toxins in the human body, making people less likely to get sick.

In addition, pepper is pungent and hot in nature. It has the effect of sweating and relieving the surface. It can be used to treat wind-cold colds, aversion to cold without sweating, spleen and stomach deficiency, infrequent food, greasy coating, cold-damp stagnation and other diseases.

Especially for people who live in hot flash areas all year round, it is a gift from God. "

"Huh? Are you sure this thing is edible?"

Yun Chu regretfully picked up the delicate dried chili pepper in his hand and said, "It's a pity that there are too few. Otherwise, this thing would be a perfect match with my Guanzhong pasta. It has a unique taste."

Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said: "I still have some here."

After saying that, a female official came over holding a basket. Yun Chu looked over, his eyes suddenly became hot. He took the sieve and saw that the basket was filled with a basket full of red peppers, each pepper. The colors are pure bright red, and some peppers are even red and black. The best thing is that the pepper that Li Hong stole for him is similar to the Chaotian pepper that Yun Chu has eaten, and the peppers in the basket are different in length. Different, belong to different quality peppers.

Seeing peppers for the first time in many years, Yun Chu still cared about etiquette and picked out several different peppers from the basket and quickly put them into his sleeves under Wu Mei's gaze.

Li Hong coughed hard on the side. He felt that Yun Chu was doing too much now, but he didn't know that after Wu Mei saw Yun Chu's behavior of stealing things secretly, she immediately felt that what Yun Chu said might be true.

"I tried it on animals, and the animals suffered terribly. I tried it on people, and they suffered equally. Who else in the world would be willing to eat such a thing?"

Yun Chu held the bamboo basket and said, "That's because they eat it in the wrong way and they don't know how to eat it. If you master the trick of eating chili pepper, people will definitely love it more and more, and they won't be able to give it up in the end."

Wu Mei said: "Is that really the case?"

Yun Chu held the bamboo basket, calmed down his excitement and said, "Since Her Majesty the Queen has obtained the chili peppers, may I ask where are the potatoes, corns, and sweet potatoes that I need?"

Wu Mei said in surprise: "Yun Qing means that this thing and the rest of the things Ai Qing said came from the same place?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "That's true. This thing must have come from the sea. Maybe a bird swallowed this thing and then left the seeds on a certain island when defecating.

If these peppers are taken from the place of origin, then where there are peppers, there must be the crops Weichen mentioned. "

Wu Mei pondered for a moment, but did not answer the origin of the peppers. Instead, she directly said to Yun Chu: "These peppers are awarded to the people of Wannian County by this palace. Aiqing can plant them in Wannian County. However, if you want to sell them, If so, Aiqing needs to prove to me that this thing is indeed an edible crop and not a poison."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "The queen doesn't have to worry about this. Once there are enough chili peppers, Wei Chen will not give others the chance to take the first bite."

Wu Mei said: "So, did Yun Qing eat it in the past?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "That is a taste that has penetrated deeply into the bones of Wei Chen for a long time. It will be unforgettable in this life."

After hearing what Yunchu said, Wu Mei asked Naha directly: "Naha, have you ever eaten this?"

Naha looked at the chili peppers in the basket with salivation and shook her head: "I haven't eaten it before, but my brother ate a lot of weird things back then, but he refused to let me eat them. I think they must be extremely delicious."

Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said, "Back off."

Yun Chu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately said goodbye to the queen and hurried out. Li Hong quickly followed. Then, Naha also got out from behind the bead curtain and ran away with her brother and Li Hong.

Wu Mei ordered people to remove the bead curtain, held her belly and walked back and forth in the main hall for a few times, and then said to Aunt Chun: "Summon Lelang Princess Jin Yanzhen to see you."
