"Ho Bao?"

Xu Zhou yawned and stood at the door of the hall, surprised as he put on his clothes.

Xu Zhou didn't expect He Bao to come to work so early, the little guy got up so early, and he didn't accept the beating of society at first glance.

When the two people in the courtyard heard this, they turned their heads together.

Lu Yun stood up, stepped forward to Xu Zhou, and intimately served him to get dressed.

He Baodun is envious, people with daughters-in-law are different.

It seems that I have to find the old lady to go to the Xiaohua family next door to propose marriage, the sooner this matter is better..... He Bao thought secretly in his heart.

"Big brother, why are you only up now?"

Xu Zhou got dressed and washed his face: "Children, don't ask so much. ”

He Bao's brain suddenly became better at this time, and he understood in seconds.

Looking at Xu Zhou's eyes, something was wrong.

There is a good wife at home, and she works hard at night.

It's normal to wake up a little late.

Weird, isn't it?

Not surprising at all.

Xu Zhou didn't expect this layer at all, he just liked to sleep lazy.

Everyone sat down to eat together, and Lu Yun added a new pair of dishes and chopsticks.

He Bao hurriedly stood up and refused.

"No, sister-in-law, I've eaten at home."

"Let you continue and eat, eat less." Xu Zhou is teaching He Bao the truth of being a guest.

If you go to someone else's house, even if you have eaten at home.

But when I go to the master's house, I still have a little bit of fun.

He Bao finally reluctantly took the bowl and picked up the chopsticks.

Looking at the table full of dishes, He Bao didn't know where to put the chopsticks.

In the end, he chose the closest to him on the table.

Pick up a small piece of red, I don't know what dish to put in your mouth.

With a light bite, the juice inside splashed, and He Bao's pupils shook.

It was like a fire in his mouth, and he wanted to vomit but didn't dare to spit it out.

In the end, it was really spicy, and his face turned red.

He hurriedly got up and ran to the distance, squatted beside the vegetable patch, and spit out all the contents in his mouth.

Xu Zhou and his wife didn't know what was going on, and stepped forward to check on He Bao's situation.

Xu Zhou saw what He Bao spit out, and said unconcernedly: "If you can't eat spicy food, don't eat it, what do you say you eat chili peppers?" ”

He Bao opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and sighed: "What? Chili pepper? ”

Xu Zhou patted the kid on the back of the head: "What are you pretending to be with me?" ”

He Bao was puzzled, pointed to the thing he spit out on the ground, and asked, "What is this thing?" Why is it so spicy! ”

"Still pretending?"

A few drops of He Baola's tears flowed out.

He looked at Xu Zhou, and then at his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, what is this?" ”

Lu Yun looked at Xu Zhou and asked a question, "Does the husband know this thing?" ”

Xu Zhou rubbed his chin: You two play with me, right?

"Husband knows this thing? Hot..... Chili pepper? ”

"Don't make a fuss, Yun Niang." Xu Zhou had already returned to the table and sat down.

Having breakfast doesn't make people live in peace.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Qingshui Street, Xu's small courtyard.

A hearty laugh erupted.

"Hahaha......"

Passers-by stopped to watch.

"Yun Niang, what did you say? There are no chili peppers in this world! ”

"Chili, you don't even know each other!"

"You're not going to play me as a team, are you?"

Lu Yun and He Bao glanced at each other, both confused.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Xu Zhou picked up a small piece of chili pepper from his plate and asked.

Lu Yun stretched out his hand and pointed to the vegetable patch, and said with a stiff face: "There." The seeds were given to me by a passing Hu man two months ago, when he was penniless, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him a bowl of rice porridge, and he left me a few packets of seeds before leaving. ”

"I didn't know what the seed was, so I planted it with the cabbage. After a short time, the thing grows low branches and bears fruit. At that time, when I tasted it, I found that the taste of this thing was similar to that of dogwood, or even spicier, so I usually used it as a seasoning for stir-frying. ”

After listening to this, Xu Zhou trotted to the vegetable field and squatted down to observe carefully.

A few red pepper seedlings were found in the corner of the wall.

There are also a dozen tiny chili peppers on top.

In the sunlight, it is so cute and inviting.

Cayenne pepper, dogwood.

Xu Zhou squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, and instantly understood everything.

That's right, the spicy taste of this era still depends on dogwood, which is also known as "spicy", which is an indispensable spicy seasoning in contemporary times.

The origin of this pepper is in South America, and it was brought back from the Native Americans by Columbus during his voyage, and Columbus mistakenly thought that this thing was expensive pepper, so the "counterfeit pepper" was successfully mixed into the ship.

Chili peppers were brought back to Europe by Columbus, first cultivated in the Mediterranean, and later discovered that they were not peppercorns. But after tasting its special spicy feeling, the chili pepper has gradually become popular.

Later, Zheng He went to the West seven times, and chili peppers were introduced to China through the Maritime Silk Road.

"Big brother, what the hell is this thing? Why is it so spicy? ”

He Bao took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth, looked at the chili peppers in the vegetable field and asked.

Xu Zhou is now in a state of extreme excitement. He grinned and turned his head and asked, "You really don't recognize this thing?" ”

He Bao shook his head, confirming that he didn't know him.

"This thing is much spicier than dogwood, and it looks good, red and red, like a flower." After He Bao finished speaking, he was about to reach out and touch it.

Xu Zhou knocked his hand off.

This thing is much more expensive than Dogwood Gold.

He felt the need to add a few strokes to his diary: grow chili peppers and get rich.

......

Finish your meal quickly.

Xu Zhou asked Lu Yun to take out the bags of seeds and take a look.

In the left and right rows, they know Xu Zhou, and Xu Zhou doesn't know them.

When you grow up, you probably know it.

Xu Zhou pinched his chin and looked at the two people beside him: "Do you know?" ”

Both shook their heads.

Xu Zhou pointed to Lu Yun and asked, "Did the Hu man who passed by at that time say what kind of seeds these are?" ”

Lu Yun propped up his chin and looked at the seeds on the table: "No."

"Are there any other peppers in the vegetable field?"

Lu Yun shook his head: "No." ”

"I thought that these seeds were not wanted by the Hu man, but I was afraid that if the time was too long, the seeds would not be able to be put down, so I planted one with the mentality of giving it a try."

Xu Zhou took a breath.

At this time, his state of mind is beyond words.

He held Lu Yun's face with both hands, looked at the two plump cherry pink lips, and kissed him fiercely

"Yun Niang, you are really my lucky star! I love you to death! ”

was suddenly kissed, and said explicit love words in front of outsiders.

Lu Yun's face couldn't stand it, it was red like a monkey's buttocks.

She hurriedly pushed Xu Zhou away, wiped her lips, and hid back in the house coquettishly.

Xu Zhou glanced at He Bao, who was witnessing the whole process.

He Bao smiled awkwardly, he felt that he had come at the wrong time today.

Xu Zhou licked the corners of his mouth and savored the taste of kissing.

At the moment, these seeds do not have potatoes.

Because the seeds of this big brother are lumpy.

If there is, Xu Zhou will resign on the spot and go home to farm.

With potatoes, a high-yielding crop, the ancient famine problem was solved.

Xu Zhou became the great savior of the world.

The emperor will offer him a saint.

What kind of jailer!

Isn't it fragrant when you go home and farm?
