Chapter 18: Chili Peppers
Saying that, Yunxi followed Yunjin downstairs with his head down, depressed, and walked around the garden to feel better.
But after coming back, I sat down for a while, and then I became depressed again, it turned out that everyone was talking about this boiled fish fillet, and the chili pepper can be popular all over the world, and it has its own unique charm. The boiled fish dish is even more popular in the north and south of the country, the delicious fish meat is combined with the taste of chili pepper and pepper, forming a unique flavor of numb, spicy, fragrant and tender, the taste is refreshing, and there is a sense of sweetness after eating. Youzhou is not like the south, there are very few people who can make fish and love to eat fish, and suddenly they didn't find that the fishy fish can be so delicious, and they were amazed.
And the central figure around them has also become Wang Ying and her cousin Li Wanqing, Wang Ying and Li Wanqing's mother is sisters, Wang Ying's mother is a concubine, at that time was casually found a scholar with a similar family background to marry, I never thought that Wang Ying's father was quite talented, the first imperial examination after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was admitted to the Jinshi, the newly established country is in ruins, his father easily made an official, and now he is a member of the Ministry of Works. Wang Ying lived in Kyoto with her parents for several years, and her knowledge increased greatly, and this time she came back to her hometown to serve her grandmother on the orders of her parents.
From their words, Yunxi also knew one thing, that is, the owner of this restaurant is from the capital, and the spicy dishes were only launched after the trial, and it is indeed the secret recipe of the store.
At this point, Yunxi still doesn't understand? According to the research of historians and archaeologists, chili peppers were introduced to southern China in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places to the north, it was the Qing Dynasty. And now, in the early Song Dynasty, hundreds of years before Columbus discovered chili peppers, there were actually chili peppers.
Undoubtedly, the reason is that the new official who crossed over began his journey at sea. Hey, it's good to be an emperor, Yunxi wants to eat chili peppers, so he can only find a pillow to lie on, and if the emperor wants to eat chili peppers, he can form a fleet to go to sea to find it. Yunxi's envy and hatred, no jealousy, no jealousy, the gap is too big. What I hate is why you don't popularize it, but you want to use it to open a restaurant to make money, do you know if you are competing with the people for profit? I'm.
I was so depressed that I couldn't even eat, so I ate a few bites casually when the banquet was held, and Yun Jin didn't care about her, as long as she didn't talk nonsense. Finally boiled until the egg soup was served, Yunxi was a little happier, according to experience, the banquet above the egg soup should be over, the reason is not explained.
I was drinking the soup with my head down, and I heard a buzzing sound, and a swarm of bees came?
Yunxi looked up, it turned out that everyone was whispering, and their eyes were all in one direction, Yunxi looked over, oh...... I see.
It turned out that there were a few young men here.
Isn't the one in front of you her cheap big cousin? A red dress, a silver belt around his waist, a gold crown on his head, a handsome face, high-spirited, and a beautiful young man in the spring breeze! Looking at the next few again, all of them are radiant and energetic young men, presumably they are all new moves this year.
No wonder a group of little ladies were excited and excited. Even Wang Ying, who has seen the world, can't take her eyes off it, hey, can you be reserved?
A few young men were seen by everyone with red faces, red faces went upstairs, and in a blink of an eye, they ushered in a lot of women with sharper and more direct eyes, and they regretted it very much, and thought that the wine banquet in the house had dispersed early.
hurriedly met with the elders, and several teenagers Lang Fei also fled, causing a burst of laughter behind him.
After the laughter, the banquet ended.
Yunxi threw himself on the bed at once, hey, I'm so tired, close my eyes and rest.
"Second lady, second lady?" Yuanyuan shouted a few times and didn't respond, came over to take a look, hehe, just took a face wash, and his little lady fell asleep? Shaking his head, he helped Yunxi take off his shoes and socks, and covered his thick cotton clothes with a quilt.
When Yunxi was sleeping, Aunt Ye's family and Ye Yuan's father and son all came to Tingfeng Pavilion because of the chili peppers that Yunxi never forgot.
"Da Lang, Da Lang, your eldest brother is not simple, how old is he this year, if I remember correctly, he is 10 years old, right? It's even better than I was back then! As soon as Li Mingxin entered the door, he said it, and the troublesome Ye Yuanlin clan was confused.
Lin hesitated: "Yunxiao is in trouble today? ”
"No, it's not a disaster," Li Mingxin waved his hand and sat down, "Yunxiao has negotiated a deal today." ”
"Business, what business?" At this time, even Ye Yuan was stunned.
Li Mingxin smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, sit down and listen to me slowly." ”
It turned out that after Yunxiao ate boiled fish in the restaurant, he immediately liked this taste, Yunxiao likes to eat spicy taste on weekdays, but the spicy boiled fish is far better than what he has eaten before, and it is delicious enough. Onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, peppercorns, peppercorns, dogwoods and mustard are all not as spicy as they are, and they are pure.
Yunxiao's foodie's action is obviously much stronger than Yunxi's, he immediately asked his uncle to understand the situation, and after knowing that it was a secret recipe, he was not discouraged, and pestered his uncle to take him to the shopkeeper, proposing to plant this new seasoning, and all the obtained was sold to the restaurant in addition to eating it himself, and he could also agree on the price and sign a confidentiality contract.
As a result, without Ye Yuan knowing, this matter was actually done, it is said that the shopkeeper actually wants to plant peppers on a large scale, but he is the shopkeeper from the capital, and he can't find a suitable farmer for a while. Now just wait for the shopkeeper to prepare a confidentiality treaty, and you can sign the planting contract.
Lin Ye Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, this is his own son? Yun Kai looked at his brother with adoring eyes, which meant that he could eat boiled fish often in the future?
Yun Jin said with a smile: "Xi'er is still pestering her mother today, wanting to plant chili peppers, and her mother also perfunctorily Yunxi said that she wants to discuss with you, and this is it?" ”
Yun Kai asked, "Eldest sister, what about my second sister?" Why isn't she there? ”
Ye Yuan looked at it, but no, the youngest daughter was really not there.
Yun Jin smiled: "Yunxi will sleep when she comes back, let's go, Yunkai, let's call her." Yun Kai answered, and the two of them were going to call Yunxi.
Lin stopped: "Let her sleep, the child's family, sleep longer." ”
Yun Kai shouted: "I haven't slept yet, the second sister is older than me." With that, he ran away.
After a while, Yunxi rushed out in pajamas, "What's the situation?" Can we grow peppers at home?"
And then look at it, isn't it? So many people hurried back again. It made everyone laugh.
After a while, Yunxi got dressed and came out again, "What Yunkai said is true, our family can grow chili peppers, didn't it say what the secret recipe is?" ”
Lin said with a smile: "It's true, your brother has negotiated with someone, and he will sign a planting contract tomorrow." ”
"Really, great, brother, you're so good, I have to give you a thumbs up." Yunxi was so happy that he finally had chili peppers to eat, hot and sour cabbage, hot and sour bean sprouts, mapo tofu, and spicy hot pot...... It's so delicious that it's hard to think about! She even couldn't believe that there was a shortage of people who planted chili peppers in such a big restaurant? However, I can't believe it, I can't believe it, I still have to plant it, and there are many kinds of seeds, so I can plant it well, and if the seeds don't flow out, can I still worry about sales?
Aunt Ye smiled: "Look at this child's happiness, Yunxi, in the future, my aunt's chili peppers will be supplied to your family." Okay? ”
Yunxi smiled and said, "Then I can't promise you now, wait until the contract is signed tomorrow, if you don't violate the treaty, I can supply you." ”
"Hehe......"
"Oops, another little elf."
Yunxi Zhengse said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, we naturally have to put the contract first, uncle, you are a big business, you don't understand this rule." ”
Li Mingxin smiled: "Your aunt understands the rules of business, but she doesn't understand the rules of our Xiaoyunxi, hehe......"
After laughing and laughing, Ye Yuan said: "Yunxiao, although your uncle helped you stop this business, do you know how to grow this pepper?" ”
Yunxiao, who was smiling happily, was stunned all of a sudden, and Lin and the others were also stunned, yes, no one has ever planted this chili, how should I plant it?
Ye Yuan said again: "Think about it yourself, no one can grow chili peppers if you are in charge, why should you give such a good thing?" ”
Yunxiao was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Then what should I do, Dad, I have promised others, don't we plant it?" ”
"Plant, must plant." Yunxi rushed out in a hurry, and when she saw that her family members were looking at her, she retreated in disgust, "We can't plant, and others won't plant, so there's nothing that can't be planted." ”
This is also true, Yunxiao's eyes lit up and looked at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at the clouds, looked at the clouds, looked at the clouds, and then looked at the people, and slapped the table, "Okay, let's plant." ”
