Chapter Seventy-Six: The Whole World of Foodies
Shi Lei knew that the housekeeper had his own field, and he didn't let people in when he was free, he took care of it himself. It seems to be planted with a variety of plants with strange effects, many of which are poisonous.
It seems that Uncle Housekeeper likes to study poisons, not only these plants, but also poisonous animals He has also collected a lot, including the first batch of spiders and scorpions transformed by Shi Lei, all of which made Uncle Leave, I don't know what has been researched.
In this regard, Shi Lei has always had an indifferent attitude, how to say that he is also a master at the level of a master, and it is very normal to have a bit of his own habits.
"This thing I usually use to boil water, directly poured into the ground to kill insects, before I also tried to find some small animals to feed this thing, to see what the effect is, as a result, those small things, without exception, are kicked around, snot and tears on the face, much worse than Dafu, and a few of them died after a long time. Just look at their painful looks, and you know that this thing is not a good way.
Later, I crumbled it a little myself, let it go and smelled it, the smell was so strong, I was almost like those little guys at the time, and I never dared to touch this thing again.
I figured out that this thing was probably something like Fu Lazi (Wu Zhuyu), but it was much more ruthless than them.
I usually use it to kill insects, so I planted a little bit in my garden. Uncle Housekeeper said after recalling for a while.
"Uncle, you shouldn't have crushed it whole and stuffed it all into the mouth of the little animal, right?" Shi Lei asked a little speechlessly.
"Of course, do you have to separate the seeds or something?" Uncle Butler asked rhetorically.
Regarding the uncle's answer, Shi Lei was speechless. Uncle is not a scientist, nor is he a great pioneer like Shennong, and he has no interest in tasting all kinds of herbs, so there is really no reason to study this thing in such detail, as long as he knows the general effect.
It was this practice that still made Shi Lei feel a little speechless. Shi Lei also smelled the taste of the string of chili peppers pulled out of Daifuku's mouth just now, but the point that was bitten by Daifuku was enough to rush the taste, and the spicinessness was obviously very high, at least it would not be worse than the best goods like Chaotian peppers.
You crumple the whole thing and stuff it in your mouth, and get a big man who can usually eat spicy food, maybe you have to jump your feet, it's not impossible to die of spicy, and it's not a fallacy to come to a toxic conclusion.
"Uh, can you ask Uncle how you got the seeds of this thing?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
As far as Shi Lei knows, this thing of chili pepper was only transmitted back after the discovery of the New World of America, and it should have been available in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. At first, it was not used for eating, but as a bonsai, which is similar to the treatment of today's firethorn.
It was only in the Big Braid Dynasty that there were records of poor people eating chili peppers, and they still used this thing as a substitute for salt.
And most of the Shu people still prefer sweets now, unlike the spicy and unhappy in later generations.
So the question is, where did this thing come from?
"It was given to me by a good friend, and I got such a poisonous thing back after a trip to the sea, and if it weren't for the fact that it was a gift he gave him before he died, how could I have spent so much time taking care of this thing, and I have kept it until now."
Although the housekeeper said casually, when he mentioned this friend, he still couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, this must be a like-minded bosom friend.
What's more, how do you listen to it, this should be a pioneer in the exploration of the Americas, but he died in such an unknown immortal, and he didn't even have a chance to leave a mark in the history books? Or is it that everything about this person has been classified by later generations into the Wild History Miscellaneous Records? Or did they simply survive the war?
Or are they accustomed to writing about these journeys and discoveries in such a mystical and mysterious way that people can't understand them, so that they are regarded as myths and legends?
In addition, since I went to the Americas, is it really good not to get some potatoes and corn artifacts back?
Anyway, thanks to this uncle who doesn't know who, a food artifact like chili pepper is in hand.
Before his mind fluttered, Shi Lei hurriedly reminded himself that he had to do an experiment first. In case this thing just looks like chili peppers, but it's actually really poisonous, then it's not in vain. Who knows if this magical world will come out with something else like that.
"Uncle's condolences, maybe this thing is really useful, I already have some preliminary ideas, but I have to do some more experiments to be sure." Shi Lei hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh, you experiment." The housekeeper waved his hand indifferently, and walked away in a somewhat depressed mood.
Shi Lei held up the string of fiery red peppers in his hand and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Dafu, who finally relieved his strength, was able to stand up at this time, shaking his huge head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, just now that toss, the internal organs were about to vomit out, and it really hurt it a lot.
Looking up and seeing Shi Lei's eyes sweeping over him, Dafu screamed, the hair on his whole body was about to explode, and he took out the fastest speed in his life, and ran away as soon as he turned his head.
"Huh? What about Daifuku? I want it to try a little chili pepper and see what the reaction is, why did it run away? Shi Lei, who straightened out his thinking, planned to compare and test it in more detail, only to find that Dafu was gone. I don't know if Daifuku, who escaped, will be glad for his foresight.
"Forget it, I'll give it a try."
Seeing the constantly flowing river next to him, Shi Lei was ruthless, and decided to come by himself.
If it is really poisonous, I will wash my stomach well, and I believe that with my system-modified anti-drug skills, this level of stimulation will not directly support myself.
Although I've also thought about letting the stupid hair come, it seems to be immune to all kinds of animal toxins, and the plant side is really unclear, so it's not a good test subject.
Looking carefully at the red cutie in his hand, Shi Lei cautiously pointed at its ass and gently bit down a little bite.
In the beginning, the stuff was a little sweet and slightly spicy. This made Shi Lei further sure that this is chili pepper, and it can't be wrong.
But a few seconds later, Shi Lei had a feeling that happiness had come too suddenly, and tears and snot poured out together.
It's so spicy!
Shi Lei's eyes couldn't be opened, so he slammed his head into the river regardless of it, so he poured water all the way. It wasn't until my stomach was round that I couldn't pour it anymore that I didn't feel so spicy.
clasped his throat and eyes, almost vomited out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and Shi Lei, who was finally saved, slapped his butt on the riverbank, carefully savoring this feeling of near death, and his brain was still a little excited.
Uncle Pioneer, are you sure you're not in the wrong place, what you brought back here is a devil's pepper that can keep all the elephants upright, right?
But now that it was certain that it was a chili pepper and not something poisonous, Shi Lei became excited again.
For an authentic foodie, seeing this string of chili peppers in his hand, Shi Lei feels that he has the whole world.
