"What have you been looking for?" The old man and Wang Tong were stunned for a moment, but they didn't react.

Wang Yan said excitedly: "Do you remember, when I went to sea, I took the lord's album to look for things, which were potatoes, corn, sugar cane, and peppers...... Later, someone said that he had seen chili peppers, but he couldn't remember where he was, so he could only give up at that time, and said that he would come to us after he remembered it, and that person was him......" As he spoke, Wang Yan grabbed the tall and thin person next to him and dragged him to him.

"But he didn't show up again, and there are so many things in our Wang family, and I forgot about it!" Wang Yan continued: "Just now, someone came to sue me, and someone on the dock asked us everywhere, so I went down to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be him, his baggage is full of chili peppers that the lord is looking for!"

"Oh!" Listening to Wang Yanyi's explanation, Wang Tong remembered that he had mentioned this to Jiang Xingchen back then. The old man swallowed his saliva, he had been listening to Jiang Xingchen talking about chili peppers for a long time.

"Since you've found chili peppers, why don't you look for us?" Wang Tong asked the tall and thin man.

The man's tears fell, his expression was agitated, his lips trembled, and he could not speak.

At that time, he saw that Wang Yan was so eager to find chili peppers, thinking that it was a very valuable thing, so he didn't say the source, it was he who went out with the fleet and found it on an unknown island. Since it's a good thing, of course, you have to get it yourself first, and then sell it for a good price. Sue sù your location and what is the matter with me?

But the island was so far away that it was in a much deeper and wider sea, and it was rarely run there. He waited two years for a chance to get on a fleet to go there, and spent almost all of his savings at the time.

But when he worked hard to bring the pepper back. I found that I couldn't find the Wang family's fleet. I had the intention to go to Linhai City, but I heard that the Wang family had been destroyed by the black waves!

At that time, this man really wanted to cry without tears. He didn't expect this result to be killed. It took so much effort to put all my savings into it. I haven't looked for a job for several years, but the things I got back have become decorations.

In desperation, he can only sell it to the outside world, the Wang family thinks it is a good thing, and others should also know the goods. Even if he couldn't sell it for a large price, he could barely make a living for himself first, and he couldn't even eat at that time.

But then another blow came when no one recognized this thing, and people didn't dare to taste the bright red color. He licked it himself, so irritated that he jumped to his feet and poured a basin of water, thinking that he was going to be poisoned.

Although he was still alive after the spicy energy passed, he cried a lot, no one wanted to sell this thing as poison, the stimulation was so powerful, whoever tasted it ate it, how could he poison people.

I can't sell it for money, I don't have food to eat. He had to find a job again. But the sailors wanted to be strong, and he was so weak that he wanted a meal a day in those days, and which fleet wanted him.

That's it. He could only do odd jobs and barely survive. The reason why he is so thin now is because he has been hungry for the past few months.

Two days ago, I heard rumors about the Wang family. He was so happy that he went back and ran to the docks with the packet of peppers that he thought were poison. Looking forward to the arrival of the royal fleet every day.

But then there was another bolt from the blue, and everyone said that the royal fleet did not come to Sinti Island at all. I've returned to Linhai City. He almost collapsed when he heard the news, where did he get the money to chase to Linhai City now?

Then he heard that there were two Wang family fleets, and one did not go back, so he rekindled his hope and ran to the dock again, asking every day whether the Wang family fleet had come.

Now that he was finally discovered by Wang Yan and brought to the ship, after so much suffering, of course he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The old man and Wang Tong looked at each other, we didn't ask you for anything for nothing, why are you crying?

"Okay, don't cry! Give me this pack of chili peppers......" Old man Wang Tong waved his hand, turned his head to Wang Yan and said, "Get him ten yuan stones!"

"Ten Yuan Stones?" the man's tears were contained, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick up. Sure enough, it was sold for a lot of money, and ten yuan stones were enough for me to live for ten years, and it was worth the sin of suffering for a few months. He originally wanted three yuan stones, and he was ready to bargain, but he didn't expect people to open their mouths and give ten.

"Where did you find the chili peppers, you found them all, you shouldn't remember it this time, right?" asked the old man Wang Tong after the man took the Yuan Shi.

"This ...... That sea area is really unfamiliar, and I also happened to ...... this time" I said that I forgot the pain after the scar, and seeing that this bag of chili peppers was sold at such a high price, this person's mind came alive again.

The old man and Wang Tong were shrewd, and they knew what was going on at a glance, and at the same time patted the person on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just sue us when you think about it!"

"Hey, hey!" The man hurriedly nodded and agreed, sue you, sue you, I won't have anything to do with you in the future, how good it would be to get a pack and sell it to you every time.

What he didn't expect was that when he went to look for chili peppers again, he met a pirate, and all the yuan stones on his body were robbed, and he was almost fed fish in the sea. It was easy to save a life, and he got a lot of chili peppers back, but when he found Wang's house, they stopped buying them, and they sued him that if he told him the location at that time, he would be rewarded with a hundred yuan stones......

Sending the man off the boat, the old man took the package and opened it, which was full of red chili peppers, about a finger long, dry and dry.

"It should have been dry when I picked it, otherwise it would not be easy to preserve...... But is this thing really so delicious, every time I see Xiao Soul lightly, it looks like I'm going to drool?" the old man thought to himself, picked up one, and took a small bite gently.

"Nothing special...... Whew~" As soon as the old man said that there was no taste, he felt like a fire in his mouth.

In fact, to put it in detail, chili pepper should not be regarded as a taste, but more of a pain and a stimulus. If you get used to it, of course, it's fine, but it's uncomfortable not to eat. But I've never tried this kind of stimulation, and it's definitely refreshing.

Wang Tong saw the old man taste it, and originally wanted to try it. But when he saw the old man like that, his hands trembled with fright, and the chili pepper he had just picked up threw back again.

"Water, water, water......" The old man yelled and ran everywhere, beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

Wang Yan hurriedly took a jar of water to him, and the old man poured it down, and his expression was a little better.

"Whew~" let out a long exhale, and the old man shook his head and said, "Cool, it's really cool!

"Old man, are you okay?" Wang Tong stepped forward and asked with palpitations, the old man's appearance just now was really scary.

"It's okay, it's okay!" the old man shook his head, pinching the chili pepper and laughing, his eyes flashing with an evil light.

Wang Tong and Wang Yan couldn't help but shudder when they saw it.

"Wang Tong, after going to sea, I will go back to Xingchen with the ribs, there should be no problem with mung beans and their escort, the ancestor of Chongming Island does not have a year and a half to recover...... Hei Lang's affairs, you can just watch and talk, it's useless for me to stay!" He couldn't wait to bring the pepper back now. Plus, he's been thinking about letting Pink go to the Ice Field.

"Okay!" Wang Tong nodded and said, "Then the old man will go first, and I will write a letter to the lord as soon as the matter is done!"

Soon after the fleet left the port, the ribs carried the old man into the air, and the mung beans below jumped out of the water, rattling and saying goodbye to them......

At the current speed of the ribs, it took three days to fly back to the star collar from the sea. After rushing back to the territory, the old man went straight to the lord's mansion.

Jiang Xingchen was sitting in the room frowning, the manganese ore had not been found, and the strength and toughness of the steel did not meet the requirements at all. Moreover, in the future, the blacksmith workshop must not be able to keep up with the needs of development, and there must be a blast furnace and a steel plant must be built. In that case, the place is obviously not enough, and it is necessary to leave the stars, and from the point of view of avoiding pollution, it is imperative to leave the land.

Jiang Xingchen didn't want to make Xingchen into an industrial city, but if he wanted to attract people on a large scale, the industries needed were also indispensable, and the large-scale use of steam engines and energy was a problem.

"From the perspective of the earth in the previous life, development and environmental protection are fundamentally contradictory, especially in the early days of the industrial revolution, although the world has not yet found coal and oil, but charcoal is quite abundant...... Do you really want to destroy such a beautiful environment as the Star Leader......

"Bang!" The door was slammed open, and the old man rushed in, startling the pensive Jiang Xingchen.

"Boy, guess what I found?" Before Jiang Xingchen could say hello, the old man said excitedly.

"Did you find anything good?" Jiang Xingchen asked with a smile.

"Of course, hehe, this thing you've been thinking about!" said the old man, placing the burden on the table and untying it in two clicks.

"Chili!" Just as the old man expected, Jiang Xingchen exclaimed in surprise when he saw the contents of the package, and his joy was beyond words.

"It's all dry, have you dried? No, how do you know how to dry, it must have dried naturally! By the way, where did you find it?" Jiang Xingchen looked up and asked.

"Do you remember what Wang Tong told you before......." The old man immediately recounted the experience to Jiang Xingchen.

"Hehe, that person is quite shrewd, he won't tell us if he conceals the location....... but it doesn't matter, we won't need it in the future, we can grow it ourselves!" Jiang Xingchen pinched a chili pepper and shook it gently, and there was a rustling sound from the chili seeds.

"I knew you could grow it, so I didn't ask!" The old man smiled and said, "Boy, don't you taste it?"

"Taste, of course you have to taste!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, broke half of the dried chili pepper and threw it into his mouth.

The old man kept staring at Jiang Xingchen's expression, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and smirked...... But after a while, the old man's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Boy, are you...... Why is it all right?" (To be continued......) R1292
