On the way back to his home, Han Fei kept thinking, why did the new governor Jiang Feng send someone to invite him for a while? But after the two met, they said some scenes, and there was no substance, was it because he reprimanded Xu Zheng and others on the street, and the old man's impulsive behavior? Of course, this is by no means possible.

can be the governor of a province, which one is not cunning and shrewd? Jiang Feng must have a purpose in meeting him.

After thinking about it, Han Fei thought that there were two possibilities, one was to show favor to his master Du Yun, and the other was to win over himself to be strong in this place and pave the way for future governance. He thought about it, there are two possibilities, after all, the master Du Yun is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, although Ding Wei is at home, his influence is still huge; And their own influence cannot be ignored, not to mention anything else, the people's declaration can influence the direction of public opinion.

"Young master, I'm home!"

With the coachman's shouting, Han Fei realized that the carriage had stopped, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and entered the house. As soon as he walked to the middle of the front yard, he suddenly stopped, summoned a family member, and said, "You go to Xue Mansion to see if Xue Erye has returned to the house, if he comes back, invite him to come over for dinner." ”

"Little obedience!" The family said yes and trotted out of the house.

Han Fei watched the family go out, so he continued to walk behind, and at this time, the housekeeper Lin Fu came out of the second courtyard, and the two happened to meet in the corridor.

"Young Master, are you back? Lin Quan has returned from Suzhou! ”

"Oh? Where are the others, and have you brought anything back? Han Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Lin Fu bowed down and said: "Lin Quan and the two family members of Du Mansion escorted a cart of things back, saying that the young master wanted it, and the old slave asked them to move the things to the second hall, and let Lin Quan take care of them there!" ”

"Good good ......"

Han Fei walked quickly to the second hall, and saw several potted plants in the hall, which were the peppers he couldn't find so hard, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Suddenly, he was stunned, he only wrote to ask for a few red peppers to make seeds, looking at this posture, I am afraid that all the peppers in the Song prefect's house were moved.

"Lin Quan, how can there be so many, isn't it good for you to ask for a few red fruits?"

Seeing Han Fei's happy expression, Lin Quan knew that this errand was not bad, and he was very happy in his heart. He heard Han Fei's question, and hurriedly said: "Young master, after the little one handed over your letter to Lord Du, he immediately instructed the eldest prince Du to take the little one to the Song prefect's mansion to ask for it, and the Song prefect learned that you wanted the red fruit, so he immediately handed over the red fruit collected in the mansion to the small one along with the potted plant." Oh, Governor Song also wrote you a letter. ”

Han Fei took the letter from Lin Quan's hand and read it cursoly, in addition to the polite words, the letter also explained why the potted plants were given together. Song Zhifu said in the letter that these potted plants were obtained by him on his mission to the Western Regions, and he only thought that they were rare and planted a few pots at that time, and he felt bored after a long time, and he originally planned to eradicate them, but Han Fei sent someone to ask for them, so they gave them to him together. At the end of the letter, there is also an explanation of the cultivation method, and special emphasis is placed on the fact that the fruit is very spicy, so be careful not to get it in your eyes, etc.

Han Fei secretly recited the Buddha name, fortunately Du Yun said it in time, otherwise if it was eradicated by the Song Governor's Mansion, I am afraid that the chili pepper would not be found for decades.

This is the spring pepper withering period, and the yellowed plants in the pot are sparsely hung with a few green, yellow or red fruits, which are not good peppers for seeds. Han Fei glanced at all the potted plants and said, "Lin Quan, where are the red fruits collected by the Song Governor's Mansion placed?" ”

Lin Quan took a package from a chair and said, "Young Master, it's all here!" ”

Han Fei couldn't wait, unwrapped the package with his own hands, and when he saw the red and bright peppers inside, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, Lin Quan, this errand is well done, there is a reward!" You take the two brothers of Du Fu to the account room, and the three of you will each be rewarded with five taels of silver! ”

Five taels of silver is enough for a poor family to live for a year in this era, it is definitely a heavy reward, Lin Quan is used to his master's generous reward, and the joy is a little calmer, and the two family members from Du Mansion are so excited that they bow down again and again.

After Han Fei waited for Lin Quan and the three of them to leave, he picked all the peppers on all the plants in the potted plant, and together with the red peppers collected by the Song prefect's family, there was enough to have a basket of vegetables, and he was very happy. He put all the peppers in a cloth bag, carried them in his hand, and said to Lin Fu, the butler standing on the side: "Butler, tell them to move these away, keep the pots for flowers, and the plants in them are gone!" ”

"The old slave can do it!" Lin Fu could see that Han Fei wanted those fruits, although he didn't know what they were at all, but he was a responsible person, Han Fei didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask around.

Han Fei carried a large bag of chili peppers, walked into the backyard with great interest, looked at the maid Wanniang walking in the direction of Wang Ruolan's room, and hurriedly shouted: "Wanniang, bring a pair of scissors and a few plates, oh, let someone go to the kitchen to get a basket!" ”

Han Fei's shouting was not small, alarming Wang Ruolan, Liu Rushi and Du Lan who were left in the backyard, and when the three of them went out to see him carrying a cloth bag, they all asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

"Haha, a rare treasure!" Han Fei put the package in the courtyard, on a stone table under an old locust tree.

Du Lan hurriedly stepped forward to open it and exclaimed, "Ah, Lin Quan has already brought back the red fruit?" So many? ”

"Lin Quan brought back all the red fruits from the Song Governor's house, along with the potted plants, and I picked the last few fruits on the plants, all here." Han Fei said with a smile.

Duran was both excited and nervous, looked at Han Fei and asked, "Senior brother, is this the chili pepper?" ”

"Yes, this is the pepper I'm looking for, I'll let you taste it tonight, hehe......"

Han Fei picked out the old peppers in the package and said to Duran: "These are seeds, keep them after drying, go to the farm in late August to plant, I will give you a planting manual, planting, picking, disposal and other processes, you personally supervise and check, in the first year, we mainly cultivate seeds, except for our family's relatives and friends, outsiders will not buy even if they spend thousands of dollars!" ”

Seeing Han Fei's serious face, Du Lan understood that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, and immediately said, "I know!" ”

"These yellow and red ones can be made into hot sauce, keep them for later and enjoy them slowly, green chili peppers, make a few dishes tonight for you to taste!"

Han Fei handed over the chili seeds to Duran for safekeeping, carried the rest of the chili peppers, and personally went to the kitchen to guide the cook to process them. Wang Ruolan, Liu Rushi, Du Lan, as well as Xue Zhen and several other women who rushed back to the house, wanted to enter the kitchen to watch, but they were all blown away by Han Fei.

When it was time to eat, the food was put on the table, Han Fei pointed to a few plates of shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with green peppers, sweet and sour green peppers, and said with a smile: "Try it, see how it tastes?" ”

"Delicious! It's so delicious! ”

Xue Zhen and a few women were like the first Zhuang men to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and they suddenly robbed wildly regardless of their manners.

"Wait, leave me some!" Han Fei didn't pay attention, and when he saw that the plate was empty, he quickly picked up the plate and pulled the last bit of green pepper into the bowl along with the soup.

Xue Zhen burped and asked, "Second brother, this dish is so delicious, and it is appetizing, what is its name, and where did you buy it?" ”

"Big brother, don't worry about it, it's gone! I'm afraid there are so many peppers in our Dahua, and I just happened to get them, so if I want to eat them, I can only wait until the second half of the year to grow them! ”
