Chen Wenhui looked at the dish in front of her carefully and carefully, her eyes contained tears, Ding Gu thought that there was a problem with the dish and hurriedly asked: "Miss Chen, is there anything wrong with this dish?" ”

Chen Wenhui shook her head, cautiously picked up the ebony silver chopsticks, sandwiched a chili pepper, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. I heard Ding Gu's exclamation in my ear: "Oh, that one is very spicy, you can't eat it so directly." ”

Chen Wenhui turned a deaf ear, because her mouth was already stuffed with spicy taste, that one was called stimulation, and that one was enjoyable. Chen Wenhui said: "This chili pepper is really delicious, is it a specialty of the Hei family?" ”

Ding Gushi saw that Chen Wenhui was fine, and put his mind at ease and said: "This thing has several names, one is called pepper, and the other is called chili. It is indeed a specialty of our black family. Our black family's specialties generally have this thing. It's just a seasoning. Actually, I didn't eat chili peppers before I married my lord, and I was very unaccustomed to it at first, but now I can't leave for a day. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at the dishes on the plate, they were just cooked, and here they were the same as in the Central Plains, and there was no method of stir-frying, so the taste of the chili peppers was not heavy, which was a pity. In fact, there are chili peppers in the Central Plains, but there are too few of them. When Chen Wenhui began to teach Yinhong to cook, all kinds of ingredients could be collected, but seafood, chili peppers, peppers, etc. could not be collected, because those things were too remote, probably only sold in a few places in the capital, not in Jiangnan. Later, Chen Wenhui arrived in Suzhou City, which was not inferior to the four big cities in the capital, but there were chili peppers for sale, but none of them were spicy. After asking, I found out that these pepper seeds were still handed down by Emperor Guanglie, and in the previous dynasty, they were only planted a little in the royal family, and in later dynasties, because most emperors didn't like to eat spicy food, the cultivation of this thing became worse and worse, and the seeds also declined. To the point where there is no spiciness.

Therefore, Chen Wenhui has been away from spicy taste for a long time. In her previous life, Chen Wenhui was a spicy foodie, and she liked to eat spicy tang the most. All kinds of hot pot. Although there is no spicy hot pot now, I am still very happy to be able to eat such a spicy chili.

Chen Wenhui asked: "This chili pepper is not the same as the chili pepper in the Central Plains, this chili pepper is very spicy, in comparison, those chili peppers in the Central Plains can only be regarded as vegetable peppers." I just don't know how the black family cultivated such a spicy chili? ”

Ding Gu couldn't answer this question well, and Huo Jingcheng, the hall master of the Alchemy Hall on the side, said: "This chili pepper is not a chili pepper from the Central Plains, but a chili pepper from our Yizhou Island, and its origin is very bumpy. ”

"Oh?" Chen Wenhui was aroused and prepared to listen to the story while eating.

Huo Jingcheng, the old man, did not continue. Instead, he said, "Please try this dish again." ”

Chen Wenhui saw at a glance that there were some special ingredients in this dish: "Hey, pepper, perilla, bay leaves, big ingredients." Fennel, ah, my God, there is cumin powder, this, it's really good, are these all produced on Yizhou Island? ”

Huo Jingcheng glanced at Wen Hui seriously and said, "Miss Chen is so knowledgeable and talented at such a young age." You're so good at learning and drawing, and now you even know these rare spices, it's really not easy. Some of these are planted in Yizhou, and some have a history. ”

After speaking, he smiled mysteriously.

Wen Huileng for a moment, and then said, "Got it." I'm not surprised that you can get spices from the South Seas, where is the spice paradise, there are spice islands, but how can you get cumin powder? It's not near the sea. Kindness. I know, if you have grapes, you can naturally get cumin powder. Say, what else do you have to bring together to open our eyes? ”

Wen Hui said this, to be honest, Wen Jun didn't quite understand, some of the complicated spice names he knew, and some of them were unheard of, let alone eaten.

Huo Jingcheng smiled and didn't speak, Ding Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Madam, are the dishes ready?" If it's all up, take the people and retreat. ”

Ding Gu was not a little unhappy, thinking that this kind of thing had happened thousands of times, although she was already the wife of the city lord of the Hei family, her husband was a member of the Hei family, and the children she gave birth to were also from the Hei family, but she was not a member of the Hei family, so she withdrew without any opinion, which is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

After Ding Gu retreated, Ding Chuan said, "Miss Chen, I want to ask you a question, how did you find out that we also have sea trade. ”

Chen Wenhui was eating the fish steamed with perilla leaves, while smiling mysteriously, and did not speak, Wen Jun gently raised a bowl and said, "This is it." ”

Everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on Chen Wenjun's bowl. I saw that Chen Wenjun's bowl was exquisitely made, as thin as a translucent white paper, with a delicate painted glaze on it, and it was a cute blonde child playing under a cluster of flowers.

Now everyone understands. Ding Chuan said: "It turned out that this leaked the secret, in fact, there are very few outsiders who eat in my city lord's mansion, most of them are from my black family, and those patriarchs and leaders are rarely qualified to come to eat." Even when they came to eat, some of them didn't pay attention to these things at all, and some of them noticed carefully, and they would ask me, and I told them that they were the little ghosts in mythological stories. They believed it, after all, ghosts are strange, and what is the great deal about yellow hair. Unexpectedly, City Lord Chen, you know at a glance that this is an overseas child, they were born with blonde hair, as well as fiery red hair, high nose and deep eyes, and fair skin. There are also dark-skinned and shiny people, and red people, which are really strange. It's just that I didn't expect the brothers and sisters of the lord of Chencheng to be so knowledgeable at such a young age, know these things, and be meticulous and observant. ”

Chen Wenjun said a few polite words, and Ding Chuan continued: "I don't know what City Lord Chen wants our black family to do?" Go to the sea trade? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "The sea trade is definitely wanted, but now it is winter, I want to start the spring and then carry out the sea trade, now, I think the black family can produce some talents, follow me to design and build Xinguang City, of course, I will pay the salary as before." ”

When Ding Chuan heard this, as they expected, the Chen family wanted them not to compete for power in the Central Plains, but to develop overseas foundations. This made the black family members present breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Ding Chuan and the others called Ding Gu back from the new, and served a few delicious meals, and then a group of people ate and chatted, the Hei family introduced the situation of Yizhou Island like Chen Wenjun brothers and sisters, and also introduced the situation of the Hei family, and the Chen brothers and sisters also talked about the situation of Shanghai City and Xinguang City, and the group of people talked while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Chen Wenhui ate very happily, firstly, because she was hungry, and secondly, because she listened to strange things, especially when she ate. Of course, I am even happier that the Hei family finally admits that they are engaged in maritime trade, so that after subduing the Hei family, you can use the Hei family's hundreds of years of maritime trade experience, strongholds, manpower, and material resources, which is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.

Another thing that makes her very happy is that the Hei family now has these rich seasonings, which can make her family's Qinghelou cuisine innovative again, and see who else in Da Chu can compete with her.

When everyone gets used to these overseas seasonings through the dishes of Qinghe Restaurant, other restaurants will start to imitate the dishes of Qinghe Restaurant, so that they can make money selling spices and seasonings. In addition to the food and beverage industry, with these spices from Nanyang, your own perfume workshop will definitely be able to produce more and more lasting perfumes, which is really profitable.

Wen Hui seemed to see the silver rolling in, and couldn't help but be happy.

The next day, Chen Wenhui stayed, still living in the inn, although the city lord of Dingchuan tried his best to invite her to live in the city lord's mansion, but Wenhui did not agree, she still likes to be free, she has more silver in her hand, and she is not afraid of spending money.

Chen Wenjun went back to Xinguang City early in the morning with a few personal guards.

Chen Wenhui sent her brother away, and then went back to the inn to sleep, in the morning in order to see off her brother, she got up too early, and felt very sleepy. By the time she woke up, it was already three days old.

The inn where Chen Wenhui lives is the largest inn in the Black Iron City, the layout is very gorgeous, a question, it turned out to be the property of the Black family, no wonder, a qiē curtain in this house, beds and other things are all high-quality silk, as well as exquisite embroidery, presumably from the handwriting of the United States Embroidery.

Chen Wenhui just stared at the ink silk tent on the bed and thought wildly. Suddenly, I heard a soft voice: "Girl, are you awake?" Hurry up and get up, shall we? In the hall outside the door, the Tang shop owner of Jinming Shop has been waiting for a long time. ”

Chen Wenhui is a clever person, all the sleepiness is gone, this Tang shopkeeper, what's the matter, why did you come here so early, it's true. I completely forgot that it was yesterday that she asked Tang Guanghui to discuss business together.

Chen Wenhui quickly freshened up with the help of Qiu Bi and Bi Lian, and came out with a dress with big flowers that she bought from the indigenous shops in Black Iron City a few days ago. I saw that in the living room, Tang Guangming was reading a booklet while calculating the formula with pen and paper, completely forgetful and very engaged, and he didn't even notice that Chen Wenhui came.

Chen Wenhui shouted: "Tang shopkeeper? ”

Tang Guanghui didn't react at all, and in desperation, Chen Wenhui shouted several times in a row before waking Tang Guanghui up. Tang Guanghui and Wen Hui greeted each other apologetically, and then Wen Hui said, "Tang shopkeeper, now my brother has gone back to Xinguang City." There are still twenty days before the ceremony is held, I want to use this time to walk around the Black Iron City, I also want to visit the cultivation place of the Black Family, and finally I want to open a few shops here and buy a house, can you please help? ”
