Chapter 40: Chili

Yun Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, wait a while, the slave maid will accompany the young lady out to pick." ”

"It's not good." Yun Shu glared at Yun Shen, then looked at his young lady and said in a low voice.

Miss she won't say much, Yun Shen is a foodie, and when it comes to eating, she doesn't care about anything.

This is in the palace, not in their house, can they pick it casually?

"It's okay, pick less, there's a small piece there, we won't pick them all." When Ruan Lingwei said this, the smile on her face deepened: "The small garden behind our Gyeongbokgung Palace is very good, sprinkle some seeds and plant some spices for cooking when the time comes." ”

"Okay, the slave and maid will let Ping'an dig the ground." Yun Shen smiled and nodded.

What's the use of planting so many flowers and plants? You can only see that you can't eat it, it's boring, it's better to plant some spices, at least you can use it to cook.

Yun Shu was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Although they Gyeongbokgung Palace is close to the Imperial Garden, if you want to enjoy the scenery, you can go next door, and there is no need to plant too many flowers and plants in this small garden.

However, when I thought that the other Niangniang Palaces were planted with exotic flowers and plants, the scenery was extremely beautiful, and all kinds of spices were planted here by their masters, the picture was ...... I can't imagine it.

After chatting casually, Ruan Lingwei took Yun Shen out of the door.

It didn't take long for the master and servant to arrive at the Qianqiu Pavilion, and they found the coveted chili pepper a few feet away from the left side of the pavilion.

Growing chili peppers in the Imperial Garden may be a bit unthinkable for people of the future.

But in fact, in the Great Liang Dynasty at this time, chili peppers were not used for eating, but ornamental plants, and they were still particularly cherished, otherwise they would not have appeared in the Imperial Garden.

The people of the Great Liang Dynasty called the pepper "pepper", and because the pepper was brought by the people of Fanbang from the sea by boat, some people called it "sea pepper".

Ruan Lingwei saw this thing for the first time when she followed her mother to Ningguo Mansion a few years ago.

For a foodie, it's a great blessing.

She specially asked the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion to ask for a few peppers to plant, and went back to Wu'an Hou Mansion to plant, first planted in the yard where she lived, and then after there were more pepper seeds saved, she asked people to plant a piece in the grange on the outskirts of Beijing, which was specially for herself and the people around her to eat.

In the past two years, she has collected several different varieties of peppers, and they have all been planted.

However, my father and mother liked to eat light things and were not interested in it, so Ruan Lingwei and the people around her ate more happily.

Ruan Lingwei and Yun Shen moved quickly, and after a while, they filled the small basket they had brought, and they had picked some green and red peppers.

"This is Chaotian pepper, particularly spicy, but also very delicious, green pepper we can soak in the jar, and use it for stir-fry in the future, like pickled pepper beef, pickled pepper chicken offal or something, the taste is particularly good, as for this red pepper...... Chop it and put it in the dish to mix cold, the fresh fragrance is incomparable, we have no such Chaotian pepper in the Zhuangzi of Houfu, and after these peppers are ripe, let's pick some to make seeds. Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.

"Yes." Yun Shen smiled and nodded, extremely satisfied in his heart.

Although she was a little troubled after entering the palace, as long as there was delicious food and a young lady was there, she was satisfied.

Yun Shen has lived a very simple life over the years, and the most important thing for her, except for her own miss, is food.

As long as she has these two things, the little girl feels very happy.

Just when the master and servant turned around, they were suddenly startled.

When did King Qi stand behind them?

You must know that Yun Shen, this girl, has deep internal skills and sensitive six senses, if others approached them, they would have been discovered early, but King Qi was so close to them, the two of them didn't even notice it.

As for Ruan Lingwei, although she is not as deep as Yunshen, she is much brighter than ordinary people.

How high is Xiao Liyan's martial arts?

Ruan Lingwei was shocked in her heart, but she still didn't forget to salute: "Lord Wan'an." ”

Yun Shen was also busy and saluted, and hid the small basket in his hand behind his back, probably because of the thief's weak heart, one did not hold it steadily, and the small basket fell to the ground and overturned, and the green and red peppers were all sprinkled on the ground.

Ruan Lingwei's face stiffened after seeing it, and when she saw Xiao Liyan looking at them with great curiosity, she couldn't help but sneer: "The concubine has nothing to do, pick some peppers and go back to watch." ”

Xiao Liyan almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

He had been standing behind the master and servant for a long time, and had heard them say that the pepper was edible and tasted good.

Now this Ruan Imperial Lady said that she was going to take it back to watch, isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open?

"Well, whatever you want." Xiao Liyan couldn't hold back a smile and nodded, raised his foot and walked forward, so as not to be embarrassed for a while.

He had just returned from the emperor's Changle Palace, and he didn't expect to meet Ruan Lingwei here.

How big is this little girl, she almost lost her life in the morning, but she happily came to the imperial garden to steal peppers to eat in the afternoon.

Of course, this imperial garden is not his, just steal it, he won't feel distressed anyway.

Ruan Lingwei took Yun Shen to quickly pick up the chili peppers on the ground and hurriedly left the imperial garden.

After the two of them walked away, Xiao Liyan returned to the same place.

Li Mo, the little eunuch who had been waiting in the distance, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord, it's not early, go back to Ningxi Hall to rest for a while, in the evening, you have to go to dinner with the emperor." Li Mo bowed and said.

Xiao Liyan nodded helplessly after hearing this.

In the morning, after he went to Ningxi Hall to get the note, he was originally going back to the palace, but he didn't expect the emperor to send someone to send him to have lunch, Xiao Liyan couldn't refuse, so he went.

But he never expected that his eldest nephew was overjoyed because Concubine Yun was pregnant, and kept shouting that he was going to have a son, drinking wine like water, and he didn't let him go when he was drunk, and dragged his sleeves to the present.

For two whole hours, Xiao Liyan felt that his ears were about to become calloused.

But the dead boy still refused to let him go, and asked him to accompany him to dinner.

"This king doesn't want to go." After Xiao Liyan took a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said.

Li Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor is drunk and hasn't woken up, maybe he has fallen asleep, and it doesn't matter if the prince doesn't go, and the servants will go to Changle Palace to inquire later." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liyan bowed his head slightly.

May his eldest nephew fall asleep until tomorrow.

The master and servant walked forward slowly, and after a while, Xiao Liyan went and returned.

He looked at the small slice of pepper in front of him and was very curious.

Ruan Lingwei said, this pepper is spicy and fresh, and it tastes great, I don't know if it's true or not?
