Chapter 374: Three taels of chili pepper and a pound of silver?
Everyone ate very satisfied, even if Meng Shide was sneezing and sneezing non-stop just now, at this time, he was snorting and shouting spicy, and he ate quickly.
Warm gruel, which can relieve the spicy and quench thirst, is the most suitable time for this.
Something delicious, highly touted. Even General Zhao only cared about eating at this time and did not speak.
They are all people who practice martial arts all year round, and they have a lot of food. General Zhao ate six burritos, and the others were not far behind.
Meng Shide is the youngest, the biggest, stronger, and the most edible, and actually eats nine burritos, which is like a rice bucket.
The plates on the table were very large, and all ten plates were full, and they were all eaten at this time.
Liu Kui poured tea for the generals with the chrysanthemum tea that was on fire, and also brought toothpicks.
General Zhao is also an informal person, they are all his own people, he stuffed something between his teeth, took a toothpick and began to pick his teeth.
The others saw that General Zhao was like this, and of course there was no need for them to be restrained when they saw the informality of the general.
General Zhao sighed, "Yuan Qing, do you have a lot of chili peppers?" โ
Li Yuanqing nodded, "My lady sent someone to send me a few catties of chili seeds, which can be planted on about a hundred acres of land. The yield of chili peppers is quite large, one or two thousand catties per acre. Fresh can be cooked, dried, cooked, and seasoned. Especially in winter, there is no shortage of mutton fat here, boiled with dried chili powder, used to make noodle soup, delicious and warm. โ
When General Zhao heard that there were hundreds of acres, he was immediately relieved, "Okay, so much, then I can eat it often." Look at how much money a pound is, it's considered that the army buys you. โ
Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite to everyone, and when I collect enough pepper seeds, I'll send some to everyone." This thing is solid and can be planted in most areas of the Great Zhou. โ
When General Zhao heard this, he hurriedly thanked, "Then thank Yuan Qing first." Okay, how much is left now, let someone send it over there. I ate it at noon, but I didn't eat it at night, and it tasted bad in my mouth. โ
Li Yuanqing hurriedly stopped, "General, it's not that the last general doesn't want to give it to you." It's just that you can't eat more of this pepper, if you eat too much, it will get hot, and it will ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Li Yuanqing was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed.
Meng Shide asked curiously, "What else?" It doesn't matter if you get on the fire, it's a big deal to drink some honeysuckle-brewed tea and get off the fire. โ
The eyes of others also looked at Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing looked embarrassed, and said: "There may be constipation on fire, and when you are complimentary, it is a little difficult, and maybe there is a little hot pain." When I first started eating chili, my stomach was not used to it, and I might have diarrhea. Of course, this doesn't have to be the case. Chili peppers, put some when stir-frying, as a seasoning, like my meal today, put chili peppers, it's a bit too much. โ
Hearing this, General Zhao's face was a little unnatural.
Oops, he has the old problem of constipation, and now eating chili peppers will aggravate constipation, and he really can't eat more, "Okay, we all know, you get some and send it to your respective battalion commanders." โ
Li Yuanqing saw that everyone knew, so he responded, "Okay, I'll send it to you." There are also corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which are all fresh items. โ
"Thank you." Everyone thanked and left satisfied.
After a while, Liu Kui brought people to all his colleagues, each of whom sent a few fresh corns, half a basket of potatoes and half a basket of sweet potatoes, and attached a note on how to eat them.
In the evening, Li Yuanqing asked people to cook a few corns and sweet potatoes for dinner.
Other people were also curious, and they ate these at night, which was quite a novelty.
Li Yuanqing picked all the peppers that had grown up, and took advantage of the leisure time to take the peppers to the northwest city.
The largest restaurant in the Northwest City is opened by the Luo family, a wealthy local family in the Northwest.
Li Yuanqing came directly, and Liu Kui behind him carried a basket of green and red fresh peppers.
Although Shopkeeper Luo didn't know Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing had a decisive temperament, he was very tall, his expression was cold, his eyes were like torches, and he was not a mortal at first glance.
He leaned in and arched his hand, "This guest officer, do you want to eat?" โ
Li Yuanqing looked at Shopkeeper Luo, and his voice was gentle, "Shopkeeper Luo, can you call the shots?" If we can, we'll continue to talk, and if we can't, we'll call someone who can call the shots. โ
At first glance, the person who came was not good, and he, the shopkeeper, might not be able to deal with it.
Shopkeeper Luo didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly gave the shopkeeper a look and asked him to invite the owner over.
The shopkeeper nodded and ran out quickly.
Shopkeeper Luo smiled, opened the door to do business, what he wanted was to make money with harmony, "Guest officer, what do you call it?" โ
Li Yuanqing replied with a smile: "Your surname is Li, and the family has newly planted chili peppers, which are much better than dogwood, so I came here to give the shopkeeper a taste." Anyway, the dishes that can use dogwood in your shop can be replaced with this thing called chili pepper to ensure that the taste is better. By the way, I have two more recipes for cooking, you can take a look. Let's talk while waiting for the cook's cooking, and we'll talk about business later, okay? โ
Sitting on a stool near the window, Shopkeeper Luo asked the shopkeeper to serve tea.
Shopkeeper Luo originally didn't dare to provoke Li Yuanqing, who was like a bad star, but when Li Yuanqing said "chili", his voice suddenly rose suddenly, "What? Chili pepper? โ
The shopkeeper had never seen the shopkeeper lose his temper so much, he was so frightened that the tea in his hand spilled, and the cup almost fell to the ground.
If it was in normal times, the shopkeeper would have started to curse a long time ago, but today the shopkeeper Luo's attention was on Li Yuanqing's body, and he hurriedly sat opposite Li Yuanqing, with a dough-like face and a smile, doubly attentive, and his voice was a little more flattering.
"Officer Li, do you really have chili peppers? Is it a chili pepper in the capital that holds a pound of three taels of silver? The shopkeeper Luo asked eagerly, last year, after the eldest man of the Luo family came back from the capital, he brought back a few catties of dried chili peppers, saying that they were bought from the capital at a high price, and one catty of dried chili peppers was enough for three taels of silver.
Li Yuanqing's eyes lit up, hey, this chili pepper is so expensive!
Before Liu Paner sold all the chili peppers to the Gu family's delicious building, a restaurant didn't use so many chili peppers at all, so they sold them outside.
Although Liu Paner sells fresh chili peppers, the price is 30 yuan a catty, and she thinks it is already very expensive. But this Gu family is good, after being transported to the capital, it is so high that it will definitely make a lot of money.
The Gu family eats meat, and Liu Paner drinks some soup.
Li Yuanqing secretly scolded the Gu family in his heart, but Liu Paner had no foundation in the capital or other places, and he couldn't sell the chili peppers at a high price. In fact, this is the Gu family's ability.
Liu Paner can see it, but Li Yuanqing doesn't think so, feeling that he has earned less.
Li Yuanqing glanced at Liu Kui, Liu Kui immediately understood, it was a handful of green chili peppers and a handful of red chili peppers in the basket, and put them on the table, "Shopkeeper, take a look." This green pepper grows for a few days before it turns red, and the red pepper turns into a dried pepper after a few days of drying. โ
