"I'm ......" Li Xiaoyue suddenly realized that she almost missed her mouth, "I saw it in a dream, and I often have some strange dreams." ”

"Especially after eating black sesame seeds, I became more curious about Fanbang's seeds."

"Dad, look at it. This thing is golden, like yellow jade, a little bigger than rice, how about we call it corn? ”

Li Laohan couldn't cry or laugh, "Then your dream is quite extensive." However, you are not quite right. ”

"Shouldn't it be called golden rice?"

"Uh......" Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, "I think it's like jade, and corn sounds good." Jinmi, a bit cheesy. ”

"Well, if you're happy." Li Laohan no longer bothered with the name, and continued to look at the other side, "What's in the other bag?" It seems that it is also a seed. ”

Li Siqiang took it in his hand and tried it, it was very light, "It doesn't seem to be a seed!" ”

It's twice as big as the one just now, but it's not as heavy as that.

Untie the tie rope above, Li Siqiang opened it and saw that it was red.

"This doesn't seem to be a seed." Li Siqiang said, "Sister-in-law, you may be disappointed. ”

Li Xiaoyue poked her head over, came over to take a closer look, and was ecstatic, her eyes were almost glued to the things in her pocket.

However, she didn't dare to get carried away and make Li Laohan suspicious.

Li Xiaoyue took out a dried chili pepper about the size of her fingers, and her hand trembled a little and shook it.

"There should be seeds in here, I'll go get scissors, cut off the outer shell, and pour out the seeds inside."

"This thing seems to have a choking smell, it won't be poisonous, right?" Li Laohan took one and put it on the tip of his nose, he had a keen sense of smell and could smell it.

Li Xiaoyue blinked, her eyes staring at the chili pepper, and secretly swallowed her saliva.

She's dying of hunger.

It's a chili pepper!

Stir-fried meat with chili, shredded potatoes with chili, chili fish, chili ......

As a person who is not spicy or happy, there is no chili, and I feel that everything I eat is less flavorful.

Although there is dogwood, how can the taste of dogwood compare to chili?

The big steamed buns are dipped in chili oil, and Li Xiaoyue can eat two big steamed buns.

Li Xiaoyue, with a pious mood, took one and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

She could imagine that she should behave like a thirty-year-old smoker looking at a cigarette.

"Dad, there's still Zhang here, I'll take a look first."

Li Xiaoyue took out an envelope from the box and took out a piece of paper from it.

The yellow one came from the Rakshasa country, which was 26,000 miles away.

The one with a pungent smell will make people's skin tingling and very spicy.

After eating, it will make people sweaty, spicy, and non-toxic.

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Dad, look at it, it's non-toxic, it's called chili." ”

Li Laohan is still vigilant, "Even if it's not poisonous, you have to try it to know." ”

Li Xiaoyue was dumbfounded, and if she wanted to eat chili peppers, she had to wait.

The box sent by Steward Xie was full of spices, but there were no seeds.

Although it was a bit disappointing, there were so many spices that it could be delicious.

Li Laohan smiled, "With so many spices, you can stew a lot of meat." However, the entrance is still to be cautious. ”

"The top four, it's crushed, give it to the pigs and dogs first, it's okay, let's eat it again."

"Yes, Grandpa." Li Siqiang responded, and the matter was handed over to him.

After a few days of testing, it was confirmed that it was non-toxic.

Li Xiaoyue carefully put on gloves and used scissors to cut open the pepper and pour out the seeds inside.

Dry it again, put it in a bag, and put it in a dry storeroom.

By next year, she's going to plant the seeds in the ground and harvest more.

Wen Xiaolan took the account book and walked over, "Madam, now all the wool has been spun, and the spinning wheel and loom have been maintained. ”

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she stood up, "Okay, pay wages and bonuses today." ”

Li Laohan smiled, "No wonder you got so much silver back from the money bank in the county seat, it turned out to be wages and bonuses!" ”

Wen Xiaolan asked in a low voice: "Madam, we have so much grain, why don't we replace the bonus with grain?" ”

Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, "No, if someone needs it, the workers will take the initiative to buy it." ”

"With money in hand, they can not only buy it from us, but also go to the county seat to buy it."

Wen Xiaolan nodded, "That's right, if we use food to offset it, it's obviously a good intention, but some people are not happy." ”

"It's just that we have so much grain here, and if we can't eat it next year, it will become old grain."

Li Xiaoyue smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, it won't be wasted, it will be of great use next year." ”

"What's the use?" Li Laohan and Wen Xiaolan were both curious and asked in unison.

Li Xiaoyue shook her head, "I can't say it yet." ”

At the door, many people were queuing up and began to receive wages.

Four taels of silver this month, plus a bonus equivalent to half of the salary, this is six taels of silver.

The bonus part, woollen cloth, is sold to the worker at half price, but a person can only buy half a horse.

These fabrics can keep warm, and many people buy wool cloth directly.

Some still want to buy food, and Li Xiaoyue is also satisfied.

Everyone received the money and went home happy.

Even though it's cold outside, the people in single clothes are still beaming.

Although she is tired these days, Li Xiaoyue is willing to give food to the workers.

The food is full, and there is meat at the meal, which is better than the people's own meals, with oil and water.

Li Laohan stood on the platform and said to everyone: "Now that there is going to be a war, you should try to stay at home and don't come out." ”

"While it's still peaceful, hurry up and buy more food and store more supplies."

In fact, people living at the border have such common sense.

This year, when I worked to earn wages and had money in my hand, I didn't sell a single grain of food at home.

Everyone understands the simple truth, when there is a war, money may not be able to buy food.

The people of several villages took their wages and did not leave.

There are those who do business, sell meat, sell sugar, and sell all kinds of things, and when they learned that Ewha Village was paid, they came here early to set up stalls.

You don't have to go to the county seat to buy things, and the price is not expensive.

After receiving the money, everyone also wanted to eat better and wear better, so they bought it one after another.

It didn't disperse until nightfall.

Li Laohan took his sons and grandchildren to carefully inspect the doors and windows.

Soon after, it snowed heavily.

They also took turns to patrol the workshops and storehouses.

"Changfu, is all the honeycomb coal at home out?"

Li Changfu replied: "It's all out, ten days ago, our announcement said." ”

"Almost every household has already bought honeycomb coal for the winter."

"In addition, my shop is full of honeycomb coals inside and out."

"Leave a little guy over there, and once someone runs out of honeycomb coal, they can come to the shop to allocate one or two in case of an emergency."

"Very good, you are very thoughtful." Li Xiaoyue praised, "Changlu...... Ah, what about Changlu? ”
