Qin Feng frowned slightly, Shen Yifei raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Yunsheng quickly, lowered his eyes, and silently fiddled with the tableware in front of him. Lin Ai Keke is happy, he likes to eat spicy food the most! Unsparing praise at the moment:

"Well done cook tonight! Presumably knowing that my brother is back, I haven't been spicy for a long time, so I deliberately put this soup pot on purpose! On the other hand, he offered treasures diligently, "The emperor also likes to eat spicy food the most, right?" ”

Gao Shenghan smiled and said nothing, watching the young man busy fiddling with his own flavor plate, and seasoning her when he was finished, Zuihou naturally did not leave his cousin behind.

Chen Zixiu couldn't see anything on his face, but his eyes glanced at Chu Yunsheng with aggression.

He can't shirk his cousin's kindness, but if he eats too much spicy, it will be spicy and painful, too spicy, and a little blood. I believe that except for Echo, there is nothing to do here, and I don't know the harm, and everyone here is not stupid. Didn't you see that Qin Feng and Shen Yifei didn't have any spicy food? Chu Yunsheng, this little bastard, saw that he had just come back. I expect that the emperor will be favored and want to toss himself......

For a while, he had some itchy teeth, and he couldn't wait to paste this spicy soup on the other party's face!

Gao Shenghan naturally didn't pay attention to the careful thoughts of these beauties, she is unwell now, she can't eat too much stimulating food, and she can't bear to refuse the kindness of the second middle school teenager, usually she does like spicy, so she has to take care of the beauties who have been separated for several months, and most of the spicy meat dishes are fed into the beauties' stomachs. This really makes the beauty eat a belly of fire!

Chu Yunsheng was secretly cool, bowing his head and concentrating on eating, no matter how much he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth!

Pepper is a precious species at this time, a seasoning introduced from the black sand country, according to Shashaman, they are also found from tribes and countries further west, Da Zhou has only just started planting in the past two years, many people are afraid of the smell of choking people, do not dare to try, so the planting area is not wide, and the market sells less. Luckily, she came.

However, this thing likes the sun, and it is impossible to plant a large area in the capital, so it has to be moved to the Huangzhuang with a suitable climate in the south, and pay enough tribute to the capital every year. Not to mention, I was tossed by the emperor, and I made a lot of ways to use it, and renovated a lot of dishes, and now there are spicy dishes in the Beijing restaurant, which are still quite popular. Especially on a cold day, drinking a bowl of spicy soup is more powerful than any spirit! The drink is more expensive than the spicy soup! Therefore, the chili pepper spread among the common people first.

The caravan of the Qin family that went to the Western Regions has now been assigned a task by the emperor: to find new varieties that can be imported, regardless of what, as long as it is suitable for planting in the Great Zhou, and bring some seeds back to try first.

Gao Shenghan remembered that potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, grapes, carrots, alfalfa, tomatoes, and corn were all alien species, and now she has only seen sweet potatoes, grapes, carrots, alfalfa, and several other things, even the well-informed father-in-law Deng has never heard of them!

These things, in that shijie, were only introduced from overseas around the time of the Ming Dynasty? After all, at that time, the navigation jishu also reached a certain level......

Thinking of this, Gao Shenghan's mood to form a long-distance fleet was even more urgent.

"Shipbuilding in the port, how is it going?" This sentence was asked to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, took a chopstick chicken soup and poured the lettuce to the emperor, put the chopsticks on the edge of the plate, and then replied: "Three big ships have been built, but there is a gap between them and the emperor's requirements. ”

Gao Shenghan didn't care, the current craftsmen and welding jishu really couldn't build iron boats. At that time, she just said casually, and she wouldn't blame if she couldn't do it below. At the moment, he gave a few words of encouragement, put down this topic, and asked Chen Zixiu what he had seen in Northern Xinjiang.

Chen Zixiu was spraying nowhere to spray the fire in his stomach, constantly pouring cold tea into his mouth, hearing the words, putting down the cup, pretending to be silent for a while, and slowly speaking: "It's not good." The people are living a miserable life. ”

Although last year was a good year, there were no natural disasters, and the peasant uprisings were only in a few areas in the south, and did not affect the north, but the north was vast and sparsely populated, and the soil was fertile, and there were many products, but they were mostly in the deep mountains, like ginseng, deer antlers, truffles, and many animals, which would not run to people by themselves to let you pick and dig them, and if you want to improve your life, you can't expect to rely on the grain harvested by the sky every season, you must go into the depths of the inaccessible mountains to find treasure.

"The leather jackets we wear in winter, the deerskin boots on our feet, and the ginseng tea we drink every day are all brought out of the mountains little by little by the people." It's just that they didn't get much money, and they were bought at a lower price by the dealers who went to the mountain villages to receive the goods, and then sold them in the big city, and the price more than quadrupled!

"Then weishenme don't they take their own things and sell them in the city?" Lin Aike interrupted him.

Chen Zixiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sometimes only one mink or fox is caught in ten days and half a month, and the ginseng dug up is only one or two, who can still accumulate a bunch of things in their hands?" Coming out of the mountains and entering the city, not to mention the long distance that requires you to walk for ten days and eight days, is the family in the mountain, and the man has left, what do you want to do with the old and weak women and children? If something happens, who will make the decision? It is the hunter who went into the mountain, but also found a neighbor to say hello, leaving a strong man to help take care of the neighbors, several hunters teamed up to enter the mountain, and it was ten days and half a month to go, not to mention the hardships and dangers, and even some could not come back in the mountains. ”

"It's not that they didn't choose someone to bring things into the city, but which store in the city doesn't have a backstage? If this head is opened for the hunters to buy at a high price, how will the store send people to receive the goods in the future? How will the price be determined? There are rules in one line, and the hunters see that the money they get is only a little more than what they get from the dealers, and the round-trip expenses are almost no different from selling them directly to the dealers, and they will not waste this energy to enter the city in the future. ”

Lin Aike wrinkled his nose. "What a profiteer!"

Qin Feng coughed lightly in disguise. Nima! Lie down the gun! However, the Qin family did exactly that......

So he bowed his head and ate the vegetables with a weak heart.

Chen Zixiu's words changed, a large spoonful of spicy chicken nuggets were pulled into Chu Yunsheng's bowl, and when the other party raised his eyes angrily and wanted to refuse, he said quickly: "Brother Fool is grateful for Brother Xian's thoughts, but it's not good to eat alone." With so many spicy seeds, Qin Feng and Shen didn't like it, and the emperor and Chen naturally couldn't eat so much. But you can't Lang fee, isn't it? The emperor hates Lang Fei the most! ”

Gao Shenghan nodded cooperatively!

Chu Yunsheng looked constipated, and finally tasted the taste of lifting a stone to hit his own feet.
