The door was closed, and the candles in the room flickered, reflecting the faces of the old Yanxian and the young Taoist.

"Yan Xian's overseas search for good breeds is still going well?"

"It's all the sons and daughters who are searching outside,......" Lao Yanxian showed a look of shame, "Fortunately, most of the sons and daughters are clever, although overseas demons are barbaric and don't pay attention to the rules, but there are not many swallows who are embarrassed, and most of the sons and daughters have not been injured, and after three years of hard work, they have found a few good breeds, especially the few things that Mr. has said." ”

"The descendants of Yan Xian have worked hard."

"It's just that a few good varieties brought today have been left in the palace, but some are still on the way, and when they are delivered to Changjing, the old man will definitely bring them to Mr.

"......" Song You smiled and continued to ask, "What did Your Majesty and the National Teacher say?" ”

"Mr. To's blessing, Your Majesty and the national teacher are very polite, only saying that they will try to plant in Anqing first and implement it slowly."

"What about the edict?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until after the trial of the improved seeds."

"It should be."

Song You nodded and said.

If there is no trial planting, who knows whether you bring back a real or fake seed, and if it is not promoted, who knows whether it is suitable for the soil of Dayan and whether it can benefit the people.

"Then congratulations to Yan Xian." Song You said to him, "After the trial seed is launched, the Yan Immortal Divine Position will be completed, and in the future, all living beings in the world will receive the favor of Yan Immortal for generations, and their merits are immeasurable." ”

"It's all the gentleman's guidance."

Lao Yanxian hurriedly said, and then said: "The crops that Mr. asked Lao Yu to look for, and Lao Yu also found them. ”

The voice landed, and he glanced back.

Several juniors each stepped forward with a small cloth bag, put it on the table in front of them in an orderly manner, and also opened the cloth bag and showed it to Song You.

By the help of an oil lamp, it was full of chili peppers.

Different types of chili peppers.

"After searching overseas for several years, they found a place with many low bushes and spicy fruits, which the local people have been eating for many years. The sons and daughters collected a few different things and brought them back, but I don't know if it was something that the husband wanted. ”

Song You couldn't help but stand up, approached the oil lamp, and took a closer look.

The fruits in the cloth bag have been dried, some are long and some are short, some are thick and some are fine, some are red and some are yellow, at least most of them can be determined to be peppers.

"Exactly."

Song You turned his head to look at Old Yan Xian: "Thank you Yan Xian." ”

"It's too late to thank you, sir!"

"Is everything here?"

"It's all here."

"That's ......"

Song You thought about it, reached out and took a few from each bag, and then said to Yan Xian: "It's enough to take only a few of each thing, but it's not easy to bring more." ”

"The rest of ......"

"If Yan Xian has the leisure to plant, he can plant it and then distribute it to the people everywhere. The fruit can be used for cooking, or it can be dried before cooking, similar to dogwood ginger and peppercorns. Song You said to Yan Xian in front of him, "Especially in the places where vegetables are scarce in the mainland, along the way, I saw many poor people in the mountainous areas, trying their best to coax food into their stomachs. ”

"That's what the gentleman said."

"Then thank you Yanxian." Song You said with a smile, "Maybe it won't be long before you don't need to bring this thing yourself, and you can buy it all over Dayan." ”

"The old man must do his best!"

"This thing is quite spicy, so it's called chili, how about it?"

"Pepper ......"

Yan Xian thought for a while and said: "Swallows can't eat spicy, and after transforming into shapes, they don't like spicy food, but they can also hear it from old decay, and it is an appropriate name." ”

"It's called Chili."

"It just so happened that today Lao Yu met His Majesty and the National Teacher, and when he talked about the names of these good breeds, the National Teacher asked Lao Yu to name it, but Lao Yu couldn't think of a good name for a while, so he said that he came to ask Mr. Lao Yanxian said with a worried look and looked at Song You, "I don't know if Mr. intends to take a few more names?" ”

Song You and Lao Yanxian looked at each other.

Yan Xian's eyes were cloudy and flickering.

Song You didn't care about it in his heart.

"Since it was brought back by Yan Xian and Yan Xian's descendants, how dare you name it?" Song You smiled and said, "Let's name it after Yan Xian himself, or after the name of the swallow." ”

"In the name of the swallow?"

"Yan Xian is free."

"Mr. Benyi!"

Old Yan Xian immediately said.

The few swallows behind him were not as deep as him, and they were already happy.

Faith is too mysterious, and it is never in this world that if you do good deeds, you will definitely be remembered and grateful. The world is forgetful. Although they have worked hard and risked to recover good seeds from tens of thousands of miles away overseas to help the world, no one can guarantee how many people will remember that they were brought by a flock of swallows after tens or hundreds of years.

But if you take the name of the swallow, it's different.

"It's too late, I have to go to bed early today, and I have to leave Beijing tomorrow." Song You looked at this Yan Xian, who was getting older and older, "Yan Xian is running around and working hard, if you have nothing to do, please go back and rest early." ”

"Mr. is leaving Beijing tomorrow?"

"yes."

"The old man also said that he would bring the good seed to Mr. in a few days."

"What Yan Xian retrieved is a true good seed, and he can see it elsewhere in the future, so why rush for a while." Song You said, "In order to wait for Yan Xian, I have been delayed in Changjing for too long, and it is not good to stay for a long time." ”

"It's good ......"

Yan Xian thought for a moment, and then nodded.

It's just that his eyes flickered a little, and he was a little hesitant to get up, as if he had something to say.

Song You knew it as soon as he saw it.

"Yan Xian don't worry, I have made it clear to Your Majesty and the National Teacher that there will be no loss of Yan Xian's merits, and no one will rob Yan Xian's merits." Song You said, "After Yan Xian gets the seal, the feather will be feathered, and the immortal will be ascended, if there is something wrong, come to me again." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Old Yanxian immediately gave a salute, then raised his head, and asked solemnly: "Sir, how can I repay the old decay?" ”

"What is beneficial to the common people in the world, where can we talk about it? What's more, Yan Xian is old at this time, what can she help me with? Song You smiled slightly, "If Yan Xian really doesn't care about it in his heart, he will wait for Yan Xian to achieve the god position, and benefit from the world's incense, and when he has no magical powers, it will not be too late to say it." ”

When Lao Yanxian heard this, he was stunned.

His eyes flickered a few more times, and then he saluted again and said: "Fu Longguan has been twice in the great grace of the old decay, and if Mr. has any dispatch in the future, the old decay will never give up!" ”

"No, no, no."

"Then I won't bother Mr."

"Yan Xian walks slowly."

Song You stood up and saw off the guests.

Lao Yanxian asked his descendants to retrieve a few bags of chili peppers and left here.

As soon as the door closed, the dim light of the oil lamp quickly narrowed.

There were some thoughts in Old Yanxian's eyes.

When he was in Anqing, he also talked to this Mr. Song about repaying him, but this Mr. Song's attitude at that time was not like this. It's not that he doesn't want to repay the favor, but it is naturally unusual for such words to come out of a mouth like Mr. Song.

A few swallows disappeared in the night sky.

……

The cat finally withdrew its gaze from the doorway.

Then he jumped on the table again, lowered his head to the dried chili peppers on the table, sniffed them, and then squinted and wrinkled his nose again.

Song You also pinched a chili pepper, and while thinking about it, he broke it open, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it deeply, and then took out the seeds inside.

The three-flowered cat crouched next to him and watched him.

“……”

Song You suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the room.

There was a clay pot there.

“……”

Song You aimed at Sanhua Niangniang again.

Sanhua Niangniang also stared at him.

A moment later—

A vacant lot in the West Side.

The little girl carried a pony lantern and stood motionless on the side, illuminating it for the Taoist.

The lanterns were irregularly shaped and reflected unevenly, but the little girl thought it was very beautiful.

There was a Taoist squatting in front of him, digging the soil.

The excavated soil was put into the clay pot next to him, and the bottom of the clay pot was somehow small, and there were some small holes, which were very regular and smooth, as if they had it themselves.

"Alright."

The Taoist held the clay pot and walked back to the house.

Picked a plump pepper seed, buried it in the soil, poured it with water, and put it at the gate, and then the Taoist collected all the rest of the pepper seeds, and took Sanhua Niangniang upstairs to sleep.

The cold night was long, the north wind was howling, but the pepper seeds germinated quickly, penetrated the soil, and grew without sunlight.

By midnight, the plants had grown into adults and bloomed, shaking in the night wind. By the next morning, when the morning dawned, the pepper had already borne fruit, and it was a small yellow pepper, which was very bright and evenly yellow, stained with dew, and was very beautiful.

"Squeak......

The Taoist pushed open the door and picked up the pot of chili peppers.

Almost at the same time, the door next door opened.

Wu Nuxia walked out of the door and turned to stare at him.

Song You also stopped and turned to look at the woman.

"What a coincidence."

"Leaving today?"

"Pack up and go." Song You said to the woman, and just handed over the pot of chili peppers in his hand, "I got it by chance yesterday, it's quite interesting, I thought about giving it to the heroine and keeping it as a souvenir, but I didn't expect the woman to just come out, so I didn't have to move out again." ”

"What is this? It's pretty good. ”

"Chili."

"Chili? What is it? ”

"A dish, it can also be used as a seasoning." Song You said, "The yellow is its fruit, you can eat it like this, you can also eat it dry, the taste is spicy, after getting used to it, it has a different flavor, if you can't get used to it, it's good to just use it for ornamentation." ”

"Pepper ......"

"May the woman take good care of it."

"Thank you!"

Wu Nuxia was already holding the clay pot, and it was not easy to give it up, but she also thanked him solemnly.

Song You smiled and went back to the room.

The room had long been cleaned up, except for a pile of New Year's gifts at the foot of the wall, almost the same as last spring.

A jujube red horse stood in the house, with a quilt bag on his back, Song You went to the stove house again, took off the cured meat, sauce meat and air-dried meat on the beam, wrapped it up and put it in the quilt bag if it could be taken away, and asked the neighbor next door to do a small favor if it couldn't be taken away, so as not to waste it.

Sanhua Niangniang is also counting her things.

Song You has a quilt bag, and she also has a special quilt that can be attached to the quilt bag. There are two layers of the blanket, one for her and one for her knick-knacks.

"I've got it covered."

Song You put the last thing in the quilt bag.

The little girl also hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a few things in her hand and putting them in her own bag.

"Sanhua Niangniang has also packed up."

"What did Sanhua Niangniang just put away?"

“……”

"What did Sanhua Niangniang just put away?"

"Let's go."

"Okay." Song You nodded and continued to ask, "What did Sanhua Niangniang just put away?" ”

The little girl frowned and stared at him, scratched her head again, and finally felt that it was not good not to answer, so she said:

"Put the bacon ......"

"What bacon?"

“……”

The little girl stopped talking, only turned her head, and a pair of smart eyes looked at him, and after a while, she said:

"You don't eat it."

“……”

Song You was silent for a long time.

……

Please, please, please, beg commuter pass~
