After leaving the palace, Yunchu pinched Li Hong's neck and said, "Who gave this to the queen?"
Li Hong's body had already reached the roof of the car, and he said with difficulty: "I don't know, my mother showed this thing to my father the day before yesterday, and she even joked that she could get ten thousand guan from you. "
"They didn't tell you the origin of this thing?"
"No, maybe they did after kicking me out. As you know, my father and mother usually don't tell me when they discuss important matters."
Yunchu put Li Hong down, patted his little face and said, "You'd better figure out the ins and outs of this thing. If you can find all the things I need, I guarantee that you will be the happiest emperor since ancient times." That man, even if he fools around all day long, can still be called one of the wisest emperors in history books."
"Is it so important?" Li Hong didn't believe it.
"As long as people don't starve to death, everything else will be easy to handle."
"Okay, I will stick to my mother these days and help you find out the news."
"Go away, I'm helping you to find out the information. Once I get those things, I will prepare to plant them all over your fiefdom, and then slowly improve them little by little. Over the next few decades, there should be some effects. "
"Are you trying to get my fiefdom?"
"A prince as poor as you is really rare in the world."
"My mother took all the income from my fiefdom and promised to return it to me when I grow up."
Naha sneered on the side and said: "My brother said many similar things to me when I was a child. Do you think which one has come true now?"
"My mother is true to her word and will not lie to me."
"My brother is worth a fortune. People in Chang'an City think that my brother won't lie to others. In the end, isn't he a lie?"
After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately shut up and looked at Yun Chu holding the chili basket with hatred on their faces.
There were at least three types of peppers in the basket. Yunchu thought that there were at least three types of peppers. One was the kind that resembled Chaotian peppers that Li Hong secretly gave him, and there was also a kind of pepper that looked like a red fruit. The last one was the slender pepper. of big chili peppers.
Judging from the appearance of these peppers, they are all well preserved, like works of art. Therefore, Yunchu believed that the people who dedicated the peppers to Wu Mei did not regard them as food, but rather as ornamental objects.
Yun Chu now hoped that these idiots would not boil the chili peppers, or steam them and then dry them before sending them to him. If that was the case, he would definitely go on a rampage and kill people.
Carefully crush a chili pepper, and the chili seeds inside fall out. Yunchu carefully picks up a chili pepper seed, puts it on the top of his finger, and looks at it carefully against the light coming from the carriage curtain.
Naha and Li Hong, two guys who had already been extremely curious, came over to watch together. Looking at the golden pepper seed, Li Hong said boredly: "What's so good about this?"
Yun Chu said proudly: "In your eyes, this thing is just a grass seed, but in my eyes it contains countless wisdom, and it also represents a big change in the living habits of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Is it progress, or will it be regression?"
Yun Chu withdrew his gaze, shook the chili seeds back into the basket, closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, "With this thing, the meals of the poor people who cannot afford various spices will have an extra flavor, which will make people feel... It turns out that life is not so bitter. Food can comfort people’s stomachs and hearts the most.
We should get rid of slash-and-burn farming, stop cultivating hair and drinking blood, use the best method to cultivate the land, and use the least labor-saving method to harvest, let people spend more time on reading and enlightening, on dressing up, raise their eyes that have been on the land for a long time, and start to Look to the ocean, to the sky.
There are still many things to do in life, and you cannot focus all your energy on taking care of the needs of your stomach. In general, the more time you spend taking care of your stomach, the worse the world is.
So I would say that the emergence of chili peppers is a progress, although it is small and unnoticeable, but it is generally moving forward."
Li Hong couldn't understand what Yun Chu said. He just felt that Yun Chu was very serious when he said this.
Seriously, it doesn't look like he's lying to him. So, Li Hong nodded and said, "I'm going to ask my father directly where this thing comes from. If you find out clearly, what are you going to do?"
Yun Chu's pupils seemed to have shrunk, and he said calmly: "First, ask for it. Asking does not mean buying, failing to buy means stealing in secret, and robbing in secret does not mean robbery with open fire...
In order to get these things, killing people and stealing goods is nothing."
Li Hong swallowed hard. He was frightened by Yun Chu's words and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell my father these words?"
Yunchu looked at Li Hong strangely and said: "Of course I have to tell Your Majesty that what I have to do in this matter is also what Your Majesty must do. Your Majesty should provide me with all necessary conveniences and send people Help me until I achieve my goal.
Let me tell you one more thing. You sent soldiers from the Western Regions to travel thousands of miles and killed countless people. In the end, you got the onions. Others said that you were a child at heart and did boring things. I can tell you now...the onions. You have done a great job in this matter, and the harvest is as rich as conquering a large territory.
In any case, there is one more dish on the table of the Tang people, so that when everyone eats the food on the table, they can share a little more."
Li Hong nodded proudly. This child's mind was still immature. Yun Chu, who had never praised him before, praised him once and made him extremely excited and kept blinking at Naha.
"Pay back the money!" Naha spread her hands.
"Didn't you say no?"
"Now I regret it. Not only do I have to pay back the money, but I also have to pay back the money from the candied haws that were deceived and eaten in my name.
"I don't have any money now, so I'll pay you back double in the future."
"I don't care, I want it now. When you have more money, I will have more money. Who cares..."
Seeing that the two of them had fallen into the daily cycle of asking for money and defaulting on their debts, Yunchu carefully rubbed the dried chili peppers and collected all the seeds. In his opinion, every golden seed This is something more precious than gold.
Yun Chu picked up a seed and put it in his mouth. Li Hong and Naha, who were tearing it apart, immediately stopped tearing. Together they watched Yun Chu slowly chewing the chili seeds, fearing that he would be poisoned the next moment. Death.
Very good, the seeds are not ripe. Yun Chu took out his money bag and poured out all the golden melon seeds, copper coins, fragrant wood brands, gemstones and necklaces that were bought or given to others, and left it to Naha and Li Hong. Go grab it and put the chili seeds in carefully.
Then he put the money bag away, put it in his arms, and looked down at the remaining half of the basket of pepper peels with satisfaction.
When I got home, I saw the housekeeper Liu Yi and shouted loudly: "Invite the people who should be invited to come to the house to test the poison." \./Study\./Net\./Home\./Post
Those are the people who should be invited and those who are not. With the two words "test poison" as suffix, Liu Yi immediately understood that even if those people knew that they were coming to test the poison, they would come over and eat it. .
It can be said that the invitation scope has been divided into very small areas.
Yun Chu first poured the chili peppers into an iron pan and stir-fried them. The last trace of water vapor in the dried chili peppers also brought out the aroma of the chili peppers themselves.
With just this step, the entire Yun's kitchen was like a poison gas factory. In an instant, all the people who were gathered around the kitchen to watch out of curiosity ran away, leaving Yunchu alone with a handkerchief tied on his face.
Even Yu Xiurong, who had always claimed to share life and death with her husband, was so choked that she ran away and never spoke of sharing life and death again.
When the sharp and strong special aroma of chili peppers filled the air, Yunchu poured the fried dry hot chili skins into the stone mortar used for pounding rice at home, and pounded the chili peppers himself with a stone pestle.
Yunchu didn't like to eat powdered chili peppers, so he was very careful when pounding the chili peppers. He didn't stop until the chili peppers were smashed into pieces the size of rice grains, and poured the crushed chili peppers into a clean copper basin.
Di Renjie, who also had a handkerchief tied on his face, came over to smell it, then frowned and said, "This doesn't taste good. Are you sure this thing is really edible?"
"
The gentle man with a handkerchief tied on his face said in a gentle voice: "Confucius said: You will never tire of fine food, and you will never tire of fine meat. If you choke on food, you will become a scorpion, and if you eat fish, it will become rotten."
Don’t eat if the appearance is bad, don’t eat if the smell is bad, don’t eat if it’s cooked improperly, don’t eat if it’s not cooked properly, don’t eat if it’s not cut right, or don’t eat if it doesn’t taste good.
Calculate, how many articles does this thing you got violate? "
Yunchu laughed and said, "In Confucius' time, was there such a rich food supply?"
Gentle shook his head and said, "No."
Yunchu asked again: "In Confucius's time, was there such a well-informed gourmet as me?"
Wen Wen simply shook her head and said, "No!"
Yun Chu then said to Zhong Kui, who was rubbing his red eyes stimulated by the pepper, "Do you dare to eat it?"
Zhong Dao smiled and said, "You are the one who cares about life the most among us. As long as you dare to eat, there is nothing I dare not eat."
Yunchu chuckled, and once again came to the kitchen where the pungent smell was almost gone. He poured oil into the iron pot. After the oil was hot, he added the prepared chives, ginger slices, newly grown cress, and round balls. Pour the green onions into the oil pan one by one and fry them. After the aroma rises, you will see that the cook has put the belt-wide noodles into the pan, so you will scoop out the fried scallions, ginger slices, cress and onion residue. come out.
Take the iron pot off the fire, let it dry for a while, and sprinkle some salt and sesame seeds on the chili pieces.
Feel the temperature of the oil with your hands, and then pour the whole pot of oil into the copper basin filled with crushed chili peppers. After the hot oil and chili peppers come together, the familiar aroma of Yun Chu comes to your nostrils.
Stirring vigorously for a while, after the hot oil and chili peppers were fully integrated, I saw that the cook had taken out the noodles, sprinkled them with minced garlic, poured in soy sauce and vinegar water, and then added the hot chili oil that was still bubbling. Pour it in and hear a squeaking sound.
The bowl of trousers noodles that Yun Chu had longed for was finally taken shape.
