Song Yi knew that a good day for her and Qiao'er was coming.

Sure enough, it was as Song Yi expected.

Next, at every meal, Song Yi and the others can eat hot meals and hot dishes.

Not only has the food been greatly improved, but even the kitchen stove and pots that Song Yi has been thinking about are fully prepared.

This is something that Song Yi didn't dare to imagine before. In the past, no matter how much money was spent to bribe the guards at the door, they could not be allowed to get some household utensils to come in.

Today, it's simple.

Song Yi really has a deeper understanding of Wanyan's methods.

I also know how much the Wanyan clan is afraid of He Nuhachi.

Before the person has returned, he has already begun to do superficial work.

However, Song Yi will not be stupid enough to refuse these "gifts", regardless of whether it is Wanyan Yan to please the Khan, but Song Yi really enjoys happiness.

There is a stove, and there is a greenhouse. Song Yi has everything he wanted in the past.

"Madame, it's autumn now, and it's about to be winter. Do you still want to grow things? Can it be successful? ”

Faced with Qiao'er's questioning, Song Yi did not explain much.

I just said, "You underestimate me too much."

After speaking, Song Yi went into the greenhouse in the courtyard.

She had to rush before winter came, before the snow fell. Hurry up and sow the seeds.

Vegetable greenhouse technology has not been mastered in ancient times.

So, in winter, there are very few fresh leafy greens in addition to grains that are easy to store.

Song Yi lives in modern times and knows how many trace elements the human body needs to absorb every day, as well as a variety of vitamins.

In ancient times, there were no various nutritional products and skin care products. Only consumed through food.

Song Yi just had time to take root in the farmland and work.

By the way, I also tried the greenhouse cultivation technology that I am not good at.

If, in the cold winter wax moon, you can eat fresh green leafy vegetables, whether it is for Song Yi or for everyone, it is a luxury.

As for crops. Song Yi also spent a lot of money and asked Qiao'er to find someone from the Internal Affairs Office to buy it.

If it is anything else, the Internal Affairs Office may not take care of Song Yi. But because Qiao'er is an old man in the palace, and because it is just some vegetable seeds, the people in the Internal Affairs Office are not so embarrassed.

After receiving Song Yi's silver, he did things very happily. Within a few days, a box of seeds was delivered.

Song Yi picked out the seeds he knew from the box, and there were really many varieties.

But most of them are some common vegetables such as greens and turnips.

However, there are also surprises. Song Yi originally thought that the silver spent only harvested some seeds of ordinary vegetables, and he felt that he couldn't make it.

However, when she saw the chili seeds, she was still shocked.

Song Yi thought she was dazzled at first, but when she put the pepper seeds wrapped in kraft paper in the sun, she smiled.

Song Yi remembers that chili peppers were introduced to China from the Americas in the late Ming Dynasty, but at first they were only used as ornamental crops and medicines, and they did not enter Chinese recipes for too long. After entering China, chili peppers have the names of sweet pepper, ground pepper, spotted pepper, dog pepper, Guizhou pepper, spicy piece, sea pepper, spicy seed, eggplant pepper, spicy horn, spicy pepper, Qin pepper and so on.

Today, this time and space is more than 1,000 years away from the Ming Dynasty. However, it allowed Song Yi to see chili seeds. With this novel feeling, Song Yi was so excited that he couldn't find anything to say.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Qiao'er has been on the sidelines, and saw that Mrs. had been fine all along, but suddenly became very excited.

She had been in the palace since she was very young, and she didn't know much about crops, so she didn't see anything special about the seeds that Madame had been staring at.

"Qiao'er, did you see it? It's chili. How can there be chili peppers here? ”

"What do you say, ma'am? What is Cayenne Pepper? What is it for, is it also a vegetable? Qiao'er looked inexplicable.

Song Yi realized at this time, hasn't Qiao'er seen chili peppers either?

"Haven't you seen it?" Song Yi turned around and asked, "It's something that is put in food to add spiciness."

"Spicy? Madame is talking about dogwood? Qiao'er only knows that the Jurchens like to eat cattle, sheep, pigs and other meats, and use dogwood as a condiment. Dogwood can not only remove the fishy smell of meat, but also increase the flavor of meat, making people taste spicy.

"Dogwood?" Song Yi then remembered that before chili peppers were introduced to China, ancient people used dogwood to refine the spicy taste.

"It's not Dogwood," Song Yi carefully held the pepper seed and said to Qiao'er, "Haven't you seen a plant?" The stems are nearly glabrous or slightly pubescent, the leaves are alternate, the apical nodes of the branches are not elongated into twin or clustered, oblong-ovate, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, the apex short, acuminately acuminate; base narrowly wedge-shaped, flowers solitary, proposing; calyx cup-shaped, inconspicuously 5-toothed; Corolla white, lobes ovate; The anthers are grayish-purple. The peduncle is stout and drooping; The fruit is long and finger-shaped, tapering and often curved at the apex, green when unripe and red, orange or purplish-red when ripe. ”

"There are two kinds of pepper flowers, one is white and one is purple, and both flowers have four to six petals. And the peppers produced by the two flowers are also different: the peppers produced by the purple flowers are purple, while the peppers produced by the white flowers are ordinary red peppers. ”

Song Yi said all the forms and colors of chili peppers. She looked at Qiao'er expectantly.

Qiao'er first pondered, then frowned, and then her eyes lit up and said, "I seem to have seen it in the back garden." It is said to be an ornamental plant that came from the open sea. The fruit can also change color and be very brightly colored. But as soon as the plant is damaged a little, there will be a very pungent smell."

"That's it" Song Yi said excitedly, listening to Qiao'er's statement, she was very sure that it was chili.

It turned out that even if it was more than a thousand years in advance, I don't know how the chili pepper was transmitted to the Jurchen harem. But it's still considered an ornamental plant because of its bright colors.

"Is that chili? We all call it tomatoes."

"Tomato?" Song Yi looked confused, are there still tomatoes here?

"yes, Tomatoes. Its fruit, like an eggplant, hangs over the plant. And it also blooms, but the fruit is small. The smell is also very pungent. So, the minions have only seen it in the corner. It is said that they came by ship from abroad. The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't know what it was, because it was put together with flower seeds, so they thought that tomatoes were flower varieties. So, it was deliberately cultivated in the garden."

"Later, however, I saw that it had very small flowers, and it was not fragrant, and the fruits were not very good-looking, so no one paid attention to it anymore." Qiao'er said as she reached out to stick the seeds in the kraft paper.

Seeing this, Song Yi hurriedly put it away like a baby, "This is very useful, be careful"
