"Master Liang, how could Yan'er be poisoned, you laughed."

"Not poisonous?" Liang Dawei took another big sip of water, "Since it is not poisonous, why does my tongue hurt like fire, you see, my lips are swollen." ”

Xia Yan looked at Liang David's red and swollen lips and chuckled: "What I put into the soup just now is a hot pot base made in advance, and there is something mixed in it, called chili." When you eat chili pepper in your mouth, you will have a burning feeling, but it is not only not poisonous, but it has the effect of stimulating appetite and warming the stomach and driving away cold. ”

"I said, the old man used to eat a lot of things, but now it's like he hasn't eaten anything, and he's even hungrier." Liang Dawei put some mutton into the pot again, "I just cared about the pain, but I didn't taste it, I want to carefully taste what this hot pot mixed with chili peppers tastes like." ”

In the expectant gaze of everyone, David Liang ate the soaked mutton into his mouth, "Hiss...... Refreshing! ”

Then he stopped talking, kept his head down, and ate one bite at a time, but after a while he was sweating profusely, and shouted: "Happy! ”

"That's what men should eat." Liang David wiped his mouth, pointed to the pot with a red soup base, and looked at Xu Changping playfully, "Old thing, do you dare to compete with me to see who eats more." ”

"Hmph, why don't you dare." Xu Changping picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Liang David, "Old horseman, look at it." ”

Surprisingly, after Xu Changping ate the first bite of meat, he jumped up from his chair and ran out of the house as if he was shocked.

"Master! Master! Xia Yan chased Xu Changping to the door and shouted, "Master, the meal hasn't finished yet, where are you going?" ”

"Yan'er, don't worry about that old thing." David Liang laughed, "He must not be able to stand the smell, and he was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, so he ran away." ”

"This ......" This was really unexpected by Xia Yan, she didn't expect Xu Changping's reaction to be so big.

But judging from the performance of David Liang and Xu Changping, the stimulation of this chili pepper should be quite great, but why did Mu Fan eat so much and not react at all?

Xia Yan looked at Mu Fan suspiciously, and suddenly, she had a thought, "Could it be that this kid has a problem with his sense of taste?" ”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, the chili pepper produced by the system was so spicy that it was close to the ghost pepper on the earth, and ordinary people couldn't bear it, but Mu Fan ate so much that he didn't even leave a drop of sweat, which was too unbelievable.

But Xia Yan, who was only concerned about random speculation, didn't notice that in the place under the table that others couldn't see, Mu Fan clenched his fists, as if he was about to pinch his palms to bleed.

Xia Yan, who felt that she hadn't finished Mu Fan, sighed a little disappointed, and saw that everyone else was staring at the red soup in the pot blankly, and didn't dare to move the chopsticks, she hurriedly persuaded: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and eat! ”

Under Xia Yan's enthusiastic persuasion, the others looked at the red food fished out of the pot with a melancholy expression.

When they took a careful bite, as if they had discussed it in advance, they threw away their chopsticks suddenly, grabbed the cup in their hands and drank the water in a big gulp.

"Yan'er, my mother can't eat this." Yan blushed and whispered.

Immediately afterwards, others expressed their dislike for the taste of chili peppers, and found the stomach-burning and heartburn feeling unacceptable.

So much so that in the end, only Xia Yan and David Liang were eating the hot pot with red soup base, and the remaining dozen or so people looked at their happy faces and felt a little stomachache.

It wasn't until after this meal that Xia Yan realized that her promotion seemed to have failed this time.

In the past, no matter what she came up with, she could arouse everyone's appreciation and pursuit, but today she took out the chili peppers that she had worked hard for two days to process, and only David Liang accepted it.

Does this mean that chili peppers are not suitable for promotion in this world?

Thinking of this, Xia Yan was a little frustrated, but soon she cheered up again.

Because David Liang kept shouting when he left, he asked Xia Yan to remember to give him some chili peppers, he really liked the taste.

Since David Liang likes it, it means that there is still a market for chili peppers.

It can only be said that no matter where you are, there will always be some people who don't like spicy food, but there seem to be more people here who don't like spicy.

But she can't leave the chili pepper alone and ignore it, because the merit she has accumulated now is far from the amount needed to change back to the little one, and the way to quickly accumulate merit is to promote all the things produced in the space, and only the more types there are, the more merit will be given.

"Hey." Thinking about this unacceptable chili pepper, as well as the garlic that she didn't find a way to promote and had been placed in the space, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh and said to herself, "These things with special tastes are really troublesome to promote." ”

After sending off all the guests who came to eat, Xia Yan and Yan came to Xia Huai's door with dinner.

"Huai'er, open the door, my mother is here to bring you food." Yan knocked on the door, waiting for Xia Huai to open the door with a worried face.

Xia Huai in the room was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Mother, I'm not hungry, you can go back." ”

Yan, who was rejected by Xia Huai, was not angry, but lowered his head and pursed his lips and thought for a long time, and then looked at the door with a firm gaze as if he had made up his mind, "Huai'er, open the door, no matter what you want to know, my mother will tell you 1510 today, okay?" ”

It didn't take long for the door to squeak open, and a depressed Xia Huai walked out, "Mother, what you said is true?" ”

"Of course, when did my mother lie to you."

Xia Huai nodded, stepped out of the way and let Yan into the house.

Just when Xia Yan was carrying dinner and was about to follow in, he was stopped by Yan.

Yan took the tray in Xia Yan's hand with a smile, and said softly: "Yan'er, it's not too early, you go back to sleep." ”

"Mother......" Xia Yan just wanted to refuse, but when she saw Yan's gentle and resolute eyes, she was like a demon, and nodded her head almost as if she was enchanted, "Mother, I'll go first, you guys talk slowly." ”

She knew that Yan didn't want her to be involved in their conversation.

What is it that is so mysterious that even she, as a daughter, can't know?

Xia Yan's curious heart itched, as if there was a cat tickling constantly, and she wanted to take out her heart and scratch it.

She also thought about running to the window to eavesdrop when they weren't looking.

However, this window is made of glass, unlike paper paste, which can be broken with a slight poke, and the sound insulation effect is excellent.

What's even more exaggerated is that the wall has also been specially soundproofed according to the drawings, even if you shout in the house, it will sound like an ordinary voice from the outside. Ordinary voices sounded the size of mosquitoes buzzing outside the walls, and it was impossible to hear what was being said in the room.

There is not even the possibility of eavesdropping on the roof tiles, because the roof tiles are only decoration, and all the roofs in this courtyard are glued tightly with a special material, and there is no gap to be found at all.

Therefore, eavesdropping or something is simply an impossible thing for Xia Yan.

Just as Xia Yan drooped her head and was about to go back to the house, Yan stopped her again: "Yan'er." ”

"Mother, you called me?" Hearing Yan's shout, Xia Yan's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Yan with anticipation, "You agree with me to enter the house again?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yan shook his head and said, "I want to tell you, although your master and Master Liang asked my mother some strange questions today, they are all good people and will never harm us, you don't need to guard against them, remember?" ”

"Oh." Xia Yan originally wanted to discuss with the Yan family about quietly moving from here, so that she would not be disturbed by someone to disturb her quiet life.

didn't expect her to remind herself that she didn't have to guard against them.

It seems that she knows these people and is familiar with them, but for some reason she can't recognize them.

"Why the hell can't you let me know?" Xia Yan lowered his head and muttered quietly and walked towards his room.

"Mother." Xia Huai looked at his sister's loss and left, and asked curiously, "Why can't you let your sister come in and listen together?" ”

"Huai'er, you promise me that what I told you today, I will never let Yan'er know." Yan Shi gently closed the door and sighed, "Yan'er is still young, and it is my daughter's family, I don't want her to bear too much, I just want her to live happily for the rest of her life." ”

"Mother, the child promises you." Xia Huai clenched his fists, "No matter what happens, I will protect my sister and make her happy forever." ”

"Well, what a good son of my mother."

This night, what Yan said to Xia Huai, Xia Yan didn't know.

She only knew that Xia Huai was like a different person the next day, not only was she more respectful to David Liang and Xu Changping, but even the eyes that looked at Mu Fan were vaguely strange.

"Boy, your friend named Zichen is really that good?" The expression on Xia Huai's face was indescribable, "I really can't imagine how good a three-year-old child can be." ”

"Zichen, it's my best friend." Mu Fan has always been reluctant to mention Yan Zhixi and An Zichen to others, but for some reason, when Xia Huai asked him like this today, he said without a trace of hesitation: "Of course it is the best." ”

"You said yesterday that I was inferior to him, and I didn't believe it, I wasn't even as good as a three-year-old child." Xia Huai smiled, "Tell me, what is better about him than me?" ”

"You?" Mu Fan raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Huai, and sneered, "He won't grab food from me, he will give me everything I like to eat, and he won't yell at me, and he will take the blame for me when I get into trouble, so that I can avoid the punishment of the queen mother, what can you compare with him." ”

Hearing Mu Fan's words, Xia Huai blinked in disbelief, did this kid misunderstand something?

When did you give him food?
