The distant mountains are clear, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is a sunny day.

The three sisters and brothers were busy in the morning. Xiao Pei fed the chickens as usual and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng practiced martial arts, and then Xiao Yucheng went to feed the rabbits, and Xiao Yu took out the medicinal materials from the house, put them on the bamboo mat in the yard to dry, and moved out a jar of sour bamboo shoots to check.

Today, Xiangshan Academy is closed, and the sour bamboo shoots can also be opened, and Qin Guangyu should come over.

This time, the bamboo shoots only soaked for 12 days at the latest, which was shorter than before. Although the three of them opened a can last night and tasted it, and felt that it was just as sour and crispy as last time, she was not very sure, and it was always good to be safe.

The sisters and brothers tasted it again, and they all thought it tasted very good, and finally put their minds at ease. At that moment, I took out a piece of fried breakfast and sent porridge to eat.

Not long after breakfast, Qin Guangyu arrived. Hearing that two jars of newly made sour bamboo shoots had been opened, he immediately tasted them and then asked people to take thirty catties and rush back to the city.

After a while, Xiao Yu remembered: "I forgot to list a recipe for you first." ”

The mule cart had already gone far away.

"In addition to sour bamboo shoot fish soup, does Second Miss Xiao know any other methods?" Qin Guangyu was pleasantly surprised, "It's not too late to write now, I'll bring it back in the afternoon." Speaking of which, many of the dishes of the Xiao family have never been seen by Qin, so I really want to ask Miss Xiao for advice. ”

Nowadays, cooking food is mainly steamed or grilled, and there is no stir-frying.

Xiao Yu asked Xiao Yucheng to get a pen and paper, glanced at Xiao Pei next to him with a smile, and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered it, if you think that the food made by my family is delicious, Gongzi may have to make a wok first." ”

Qin Guangyu was busy asking questions, and when he heard the method of frying, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately went to the kitchen to take a look.

Although it was just a simple choice, Xiao Yu believed that the Drunken Immortal Residence could also benefit a lot from it, which could be regarded as a little gratitude to Qin Guangyu for taking care of Xiao Yucheng in school. As for teaching each other, Xiao Yu felt that the relationship between Qin Guangyu and the Xiao family was not so close.

Xiao Yucheng spread out the paper and studied ink on the edge.

Seeing that it was Xiao Yu sitting at the table and writing a pen, Qin Guangyu was very surprised. This second girl Xiao can actually write? But he didn't put that into words.

"Qin Gongzi, do you have chili peppers in your restaurant?" Xiao Yu wrote a few words, and suddenly looked up and asked.

"Yes. Second Miss Xiao also knows this? ”

Xiao Yu just asked casually, not holding out any hope, and when he heard Qin Guangyu answer like this, he was surprised: "Really? The fruit looks like a bald pen head and is bright red in color? ”

"Exactly." Qin Guangyu nodded and said, "This pepper, also known as pepper, is said to be produced in overseas Xianshan, and it didn't take long for it to be transmitted back to Daqi, so it turned out that the girl had also heard of it." ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "I ate it once. This sour bamboo shoot will taste better with chili pepper seasoning, so I asked. ”

"That's what my father is interested in. He's not spicy now. Qin Guangyu said happily.

"Qin Gongzi is so filial, he has to cook a spicy sour bamboo shoot fish to respect Lingzun, I will definitely write the dishes in detail." Xiao Yu couldn't help but tease when he saw this.

Qin Guangyu smiled slightly, looked down at the recipe he wrote, and said, "Second Miss Xiao's cooking skills must be excellent. ”

"It's just on paper." Xiao Yu said calmly, "If I can learn Sister Yicheng's craft, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing from my dreams." ”

Xiao Pei brought the pastry over, and when he heard it, he said: "Ah Yu is becoming more and more modest." ”

"That's the truth."

In just a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yu listed the recipe and handed it to Qin Guangyu.

Qin Guangyu took a closer look, his handwriting was quite delicate, and the menu listed was also decent, in addition to the two methods of sour bamboo shoot fish, there were also flower clam sour bamboo shoot soup, braised sour bamboo shoots, and sour bamboo shoots fried pork slices.

Xiao Yucheng put away the pen and ink.

Xiao Yu asked: "Qin Gongzi just said that the chili pepper was introduced to Daqi from overseas, that is Fanwu?" I don't know when it happened? But what other crops are there? ”

"Chili peppers are also a matter of recent years. However, it is not necessarily true to say that it is a fanwu, and chili peppers have long been recorded in ancient books. ”

"It's been documented?" Xiao Yu was a little stunned, and then remembered that Xiao Yucheng said that corn had existed in ancient times last time.

Qin Guangyu bowed his head and continued: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an extremely virtuous king in Nanyue, who was the reincarnation of an immortal, and God sent five immortals to assist him. These immortals have their own strengths, one of them is in charge of farming, and instructs the king to send people to the overseas immortal mountains to seek rare crops to return to China, and finally the people are rich and the country is strong and there is no hunger, it is said that chili pepper is one of them. According to ancient books, chili pepper is also known as pepper, white flower, really like a pen, the color is bright red and considerable, the taste is very spicy, and it is the thing of the fairy family. ”

Xiao Yu asked, "Is there still corn?" ”

"Second Miss Xiao has also seen similar ancient books?" Qin Guangyu glanced at Xiao Yu with a little inquiry, and said with interest, "Corn, also known as jade wheat and fairy wheat, stalks and leaves, and flower rice ears; Its buds are long like fists, its whiskers are like red silk, and its grains are like gourds, large and golden; The flowers bloom at the top and bear fruit in the knots. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and exclaimed, "Gongzi Qin is really knowledgeable. Hearing you say that is as if you have seen it with your own eyes. ”

"The second girl praised it falsely." Qin Guangyu smiled and said, "It's just a moment of curiosity, so I just watched it a few more times." ”

Xiao Yucheng listened with great interest, and also said: "Legend has it that the ancient seas are peaceful, everywhere is like a fairyland, rare birds and beasts can be seen, and the people are rich in food and clothing, happy and long-lived. ”

Qin Guangyu agreed: "It's a pity that the vast majority of these crops are now extinct, and they are only recorded in a few historical records, and most of them are just a few words. ”

Xiao Yu also felt deeply regretful and asked: "There seems to be no corn now?" If you can find chili peppers from overseas, are there no other crops? ”

Qin Guangyu said: "These are all legendary artifacts, how can they be easily obtained. It is said that the previous kings of South Vietnam sent envoys to search everywhere every year, but only found tomatoes. Everyone thinks it is auspicious, and the reason why the country of South Vietnam has been prosperous for a long time is also from this. Now that Daqi has got the chili pepper, he will dominate the north and the south, and the world will surrender. Therefore, there is a trillion in the clouds, and the four seas are leveled. ”

Xiao Pei was stunned: "No wonder the Chen Mansion cherishes these peppers and tomatoes so much, it turns out that they have such a background." ”

"Although chili peppers have a great origin, they are now grown in many places in Daqi in the mountains and wilderness, which is not so unusual."

Xiao Yu heard that these were all imported from overseas, but they were all regarded as immortal objects with auspicious signs, and he was a little ridiculous, and asked: "In this way, these immortals only have tomatoes and peppers, and the rest of the sweet potatoes and peanuts are nothing?" ”

"What are sweet potatoes and peanuts?" Qin Guangyu asked, "I read all the books, and the ancient books I read only mention cassava, but I am lonely and unheard. ”

Xiao Yu hadn't read the relevant ancient books at all, and he hadn't even heard of this ancient legend, so he was racking his brains to think about how to describe it.

"Peanuts are also called ground beans, the stems and leaves are green, the flowers are like yellow saucers, and the pods grow in the soil and can be squeezed for oil. Sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, vine stems and leaves spread on the ground, the leaves are green, peach-shaped, the edible part grows in the ground, like a spindle, mostly yellow or purple-red, the taste is luscious, very high yield. ”

"It would be nice to see such immortal creatures with your own eyes." Qin Guangyu said fascinated.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, she had seen it, but she would never say it, after all, such a thing was too eye-catching.
