Blue Creek.

There was a thick layer of ice in the stream, and plum blossoms were blooming under the mountain beside the stream.

Li Xiao didn't know what happened at the night banquet in the Liangyi Palace, and for him, life in winter was very calm and smooth.

The two acres of fish ponds by the Blue Creek have been dug up, drained the water, cleared the silt, piled up the embankment, and even used the dug silt to make rows of taro fields under the embankment. He also plans to plant mulberry and willow trees on the embankment next year, when the willows will be green and you can sit under the trees and fish.

The two shops opened by the Li family in the town are also becoming more and more prosperous.

Da Biaoguan's restaurant has made a reputation because of its exclusive stir-fried dishes, and many passing merchants will choose to eat here, although the price is more expensive, but they can eat unusual dishes. Even now, the fame has spread to Chang'an, and some guests from Chang'an have come to Lanxi Street to eat.

This made Da Biao more and more confident, and he had already proposed to Li Xiao to prepare to open a branch, the first branch, and he was ready to enter Chang'an directly and open a stir-fry restaurant in Dongshi.

The medical clinic managed by Dr. Zhao is now just as prosperous.

Thanks to the reputation of medicinal wine, now it is not worried about selling, and Dr. Zhao is now worried all day long that the supply of medicinal wine in Lijiazhuang Distillery cannot keep up.

Lao Zhao ran to Lijiazhuang Winery every day and complained to his daughter that the supply was too slow. But Wanniang can't help it, although there is no shortage of glutinous rice wine lees, and there is a lot of wine sweat steamed every day, but it is not simple to turn wine into medicinal wine. Not to mention that it takes time to process various medicinal liquors and medicinal materials, and with medicinal materials, it also takes a lot of time to soak them into medicinal liquor.

Lao Zhao proposed to Li Xiao that he should build a special pharmacy to purchase and concoct various medicinal materials for the medicinal liquor workshop, which can not only reduce the cost of medicinal materials, but also save the time of medicinal material processing, and Li Xiao naturally agreed to this proposal.

However, it still takes time for the medicinal herbs to soak, and the supply of medicinal wine still cannot be increased.

Fortunately, Li Xiao is not in a hurry.

Nowadays, medicinal wine is famous, but it is not in a hurry to make this hot money, anyway, the fame has been played, and the supply of medicinal wine exceeds demand, so it is good to engage in some hunger marketing.

He still attaches more importance to quality, although medicinal wine should be classified as health care, but it can also be regarded as medicine, so it is not allowed to be sloppy.

The Jinchuang Pharmaceutical Distillery with Xue Chengliu and Liu brothers is also in full swing Zhang Luo is in preparation, and there are connections between several of them, and it is progressing smoothly.

And because this medicine and liquor shop only grows Jinchuang medicinal liquor for the army, it is much simpler, Li Xiao only provides medicinal liquor recipes, and supplies liquor, and the rest such as the supply of medicinal materials, packaging and production, and hiring workers, all of which are covered by a few companies, and they want money, money, and people, which is very convenient.

Although business is booming everywhere, Li Xiao has been handed over to others to take care of, and he is actually quite idle.

The cucumber vines in the space have withered, and the last cucumber has long been picked.

A total of 12 stubbles were picked from these cucumber vines, earning Li Xiao the first pot of gold.

When these old vines were pulled out, Li Xiao was still a little reluctant, and took out a few old cucumbers that were specially reserved for planting and took out cucumber seeds, and the remaining melon vines were burned to ashes and became fertilizer on the spiritual soil again.

When the last bit of melon vines was also turned into ashes, Li Xiao found that a lot of dense fog suddenly poured out of the space, and the fog was so thick that he couldn't see his five fingers.

The fog took a pillar of incense to dissipate.

When the fog cleared, Li Xiao found that the spatial land with the melon vines pulled out seemed to have become larger. He looked closely and found that it had indeed grown a little bigger.

It turned out that the spiritual land was surrounded by a vast white mist, and it was impossible to get out at all, but now that layer of fog seemed to have receded a little.

The newly exposed land is barren and overgrown with weeds and shrubs.

Unexpectedly, the space and land could be expanded, Li Xiao pondered, is it because of those cucumber vines.

Could it be that this space can continue to expand in the future, he couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this possibility. This space is very magical, and this spiritual land is extremely magical.

Growing everything grows so fast that it not only increases production but also accelerates production.

While thinking, Li Xiao inspected the newly added land, which was not much, probably about one-tenth of the increase.

The ground is overgrown with weeds and occasionally a bush.

When I have time, I have to turn over the land.

Looking around, I suddenly noticed a few spots of red.

The red color was so familiar that it made him stunned.

He took a few steps, approached the front, crouched down, looked carefully, and the more he looked, the more excited he became, and his breathing became rapid.

Isn't that slender and fiery red red pepper a red pepper?

Look at the tree again, knee-high, emerald green leaves, isn't it a pepper seedling?

Oh, my God.

Unexpectedly, a pepper tree appeared in this new wasteland.

After coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Li Xiao is still not used to everything here, especially the diet. He painstakingly built a wok and made a stir-fry, but without chili peppers, many dishes still lacked flavor.

The people of the Tang Dynasty ate spicy, but they used dogwood to enhance the spicy taste, and sometimes ginger and garlic were also used to make it spicy. It can be said that the spicy taste of the Tang Dynasty people is actually different from the spicy in Li Xiao's cognition.

Dogwood also has a spicy taste, but it's completely different.

The spicy taste of chili peppers, that's the real spicy.

Reach out and pluck a red pepper, plump and fiery red.

After rubbing it a few times, I put it in my mouth and bit down on it, and then chewed it vigorously.

A familiar spicy taste immediately exploded on the tip of the tongue, so familiar, so hot.

It's so spicy, it's hot, a lot of saliva immediately gushes out of his mouth, and even spicy can't help but inhale, but Li Xiao is very excited.

Chili peppers, real chili peppers.

In the future, you will be able to eat chili peppers in the Tang Dynasty, and you will be able to eat real spicy, and the taste of the people of the Tang Dynasty will also have a real spicy taste.

Stir-fried meat with chili peppers, chili powder, dried chili peppers, chili red oil·······

This pepper seedling must be cared for, and these peppers must be allowed to grow into seeds, so that they can have more pepper seeds and grow more peppers.

As for whether the people of the Tang Dynasty would be accustomed to eating these chili peppers that are spicier than dogwood and have a completely different taste, Li Xiao is not worried.

Guanzhong people love pasta, and pasta with chili pepper is definitely a good partner, not to mention anything else, this oil noodles, if there is chili red oil, this taste is definitely not ordinary.

My red oil hot pot, my spicy chicken, my boiled fish·······

For a while, countless good dishes that were inseparable from chili peppers appeared in his mind, his mouth was hot, and his saliva couldn't stop flowing.

There were pepper crops that were not available in the Tang Dynasty on the newly added ground, which shocked Li Xiao, and hurriedly checked everywhere, if there were some potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn or something, it would be terrible.

However, after turning around carefully several times, his eyes were a little bit at the flowers, and he could only reluctantly admit that in the new land, except for this pepper, the rest were some weeds and weeds that Datang already had.
