The sun is twilight, and the boat is late.

Xu Baizhi held her cheeks with one hand, looked out the window with bored eyes, and yawned when she was tired.

"Miss, shall we go back?"

"Miss......"

"Miss, he's a liar, a big liar......"

"Miss, that person is a liar, and if he doesn't come back yet, he must find a place to hide secretly, and he doesn't dare to come." Qingque spoke from time to time, Xiao Fan's fist clenched tightly, and his little face was extremely resentful.

Xu Baizhi glanced at the little girl with a broken mouth and ordered her to shut up and not disturb herself to see the scene.

Qingque let out an "oh" and obediently shut up, like an angry xiaolongbao.

Qingque knew that her young lady was annoying.

In the past few days, I have been very busy with Xu Fuji's affairs, and I have been so anxious that I haven't been able to sleep for several days.

The second uncle of the jumping clown also comes to make trouble from time to time, and the culprit of all this is Xu Zhou's little jailer.

It was he who broke Xu Fuji's selection as an imperial businessman.

When I went out today, I was right to relax, and I saw Xu Zhou by the way.

But I didn't expect that Xu Zhou would lie halfway and never come back for a few hours.

Let the two of them wait in this place.

It was getting late, and the guests in the restaurant changed one after another.

Xu Zhou's dog hasn't come back yet!

"Qingque, let's go ask for a pot of green tea again." Xu Baizhi commanded.

Qingque looked at the case one, two, three, four.... A total of five pots of green tea, I muttered in my heart for a while: "Miss, you haven't gone to the toilet all afternoon, alas, you ....."

The little fairy can't get around the hurdle of, pee, and fart.

Qingque asked directly, which attracted Xu Baizhi's white eyes.

Qingque spat out her pink little tongue and hurriedly pushed the door out.

Xu Baizhi stroked the lower abdomen that was swollen by the tea, grabbed her hair casually, had no image at all, and muttered: "Wait for half an hour..."

She didn't want to go home, and she didn't want to face all the troubles in the house.

Hide here to drink tea and watch the scenery, very good, although the tea is not good, but the scenery is good, and the smell of fireworks is full.

The orange-red glow spreads between the green tiles and red walls, there is a covered bridge over the river in the distance, there are abrupt eaves of flying swallows, the long street is endless, the banners of shops fluttering high, the sparkling carriages, and the pedestrians returning home now.

There was a naughty boy with a windmill in his hand, riding on his father's neck, the man grinning, walking in the direction of the house, the seller who carried the burden was trying his last bit to sell more goods, to take advantage, and the woman with the basket on her arm was picking and choosing, waiting for the seller to loosen his mouth and lower the price.

There is a branch of Xu Fu Ji not far away, there are still many customers, the men who play wine have not heard about the imperial merchants, they are used to drinking Xu Fu Ji's wine, even if Xu Fu remembers the people above the crime, it will not affect them to come to drink.

The old shopkeeper saw him off at the door and helped his stiff and sore waist pole.

This is the state of the world.

"Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe....."

At some point, at the door of the box, the sound of gasping for breath came.

Xu Zhou's current appearance is a little embarrassed, his cheeks are ruddy, his forehead is wet with sweat, his hair is stuck to his head, and his neckline is wide open.

He leaned against the door, holding a rotten tile basin in his arms, perhaps very tired.

"I thought you weren't coming." The woman opened her mouth with some resentment, and felt that her current sitting posture was very indecent, so she hurriedly sat up straight again and looked at Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou shook his head, took a moment of respite, and then moved to the room with difficulty, putting the things in his hand on the case.

A pot of pepper seedlings, a food box.

The pepper seedlings are a little wilted, and I don't know what is in the food box.

When leaving Yipin Xiangfu Building, Xu Zhou was stimulated by the word "Shangjia".

was worried that the chili pepper business could not be done, but I didn't expect Xu Baizhi to send it to the door by herself.

Xu Fuji's family has a big business, and the wine shops are all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

Although it does not involve vegetable sales, as long as there is a heart and a lot of people, this business can be successful.

So Xu Zhousa ran back to Qingshui Street, without stopping for a moment, first found a broken tile pot, transplanted a chili seedling in the vegetable field, and then instructed Yun Niang to fry a dish of vegetables with chili peppers as condiments.

As if his throat was about to smoke, Xu Zhou picked up the teapot on the table, choked the spout and poured it into his mouth.

But Xu Baizhi drank all the tea, and there was only one or two sips left.

At this time, Qingque entered the door with a new pot of tea.

Xu Zhou was also unceremoniously, snatched the green tea in Qingque's hand, and drank most of the pot with a bang, which made him feel better.

"Whew-"

Xu Zhou sat on the couch, made a fan with his hands, and fanned the wind.

At this moment, without Xu Zhou's words, Xu Baizhi had already begun to observe a novel plant on the table.

Pulling the broken tile pot closer, Xu Baizhi opened her eyes and carefully observed the red "flowers" blooming on the branches.

It doesn't look like an ordinary flower, but like a flower bone that has not yet fully bloomed.

The little finger is generally long, long-striped, and the head is pointed, but the color is bright.

The index finger and thumb pinched gently, and Xu Baizhi was extremely serious.

Looking at Xu Zhou's current appearance, it doesn't look like he went back and brought a kind of tattered thing to fool himself, it turns out that this kind of "flower" is not available on the market, and it is suitable as a potted plant, but the branches have not been specially pruned, and it is a bit wanton and crazy, which is not very beautiful.

"What is this?" Xu Baizhi raised her eyes and looked at Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou slowly recovered, organized the language in his heart, and solemnly introduced: "Dangdang...... This thing is the only thing in the world, and it is called chili pepper. ”

"Chili?" Xu Baizhi frowned, and said: "That's not enough for the loss you caused to me Xu Fuji, you must know that you made this scene, my Xu Fuji was locked up in several shops, although this flower is good, but I don't like it, maybe someone likes it....."

Xu Zhou hurriedly waved his hand, and made a gesture of eating with both hands: "This is not a flower, it is food, condiment." ”

After that, Xu Zhou opened the food box he brought with him and brought out a plate of spicy cabbage from it.

Putting the dish on the pear blossom case, Xu Zhou handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"This chili pepper can be used as a substitute for dogwood, and it has a spicy taste."

Xu Baizhi was suspicious, and did not reach out to take the chopsticks, but gave the green finch beside him a look.

Qingque stepped forward and took the chopsticks.

Under the gaze of the two, he was a guinea pig and tasted a bite of spicy cabbage.

Smacking her lips, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Xu Baizhi: "Miss, spicy, very spicy!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Zhou continued his sales pitch: "I have never appeared in this chili pepper since I left the dynasty, and I also got it by chance in the hands of a passing Hu person. According to him, it is an overseas plant, and it is as precious as pepper. ”

"If we spread out manual planting, control the yield, and then bring it to the market, we can reap the same income as pepper, and the business will be profitable."

"We don't need to be in a hurry, let's set a small goal first, such as how about earning 100 million?"

“..... Are you listening to me? ”

"Miss Xu?"

Xu Baizhi came back to her senses, and just wanted to pour herself tea, when she suddenly remembered something.

Xu Zhou drank it with the spout just now, and poured it himself, isn't it?

She put the teapot back in place and only said lightly: "Pepper? Chili pepper..... Aren't you crazy about money? ”

How can chili pepper be equivalent to pepper?

"It's really comparable to pepper, and she's tried it before, and the spicy flavor of this pepper is several times stronger than that of dogwood." Xu Zhou pointed to Qingque and said.

Qingfinch, who had just eaten a bite of spicy cabbage, opened his small mouth and stuck out his little tongue.

The spicy taste lingers in the mouth for a long time.

"Miss, it's really spicy." Qingque said seriously.

Xu Baizhi covered her mouth and coughed lightly.

Qingque immediately closed her mouth, and pushed the little jailer, rolled her eyes and denied: "It's not spicy at all." ”

Xu Zhou frowned and looked at Qingque, and a question mark appeared on his forehead: "? ”

You master and servant are so good at acting!

Oscar!

"Not spicy?" Xu Zhou pretended to be surprised, leaned back, instigated Qingque, and pointed to the spicy cabbage: "Why don't you taste it again?"

The blue finch shook its head like a rattle, and its eyes were facing the sky: "Don't." ”

"Take a bite, what you said, it's not spicy at all."

"Don't."

"Oops, take a bite." Xu Zhou picked up the chopsticks and sent them to Qingque's mouth.

"I said no, why are you so annoying." The blue finch put her little hands behind her back and pursed her mouth.

"Hehe......" Xu Zhoupi smiled but didn't smile.
