Chapter 205 Officials' Pepper Planting Program
Zhang Ci and Shi Qingxiao wrote a word and drew a small picture in the study, quiet and harmonious.

"Brother Yuan Du has outstanding talent, and Shi admires it. Can I ask Brother Yuan Du for advice in the future?"

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "I don't dare to do it, I also want to ask Mr. Shi for advice."

"We don't need to be out of touch like this, just call them by words just like before."

"Okay, brother Chuiguang. You are older than me, just call me Yuanyuan."

Shi Qingxiao was as good as he was, and called Yuan Duo.

An ox cart stopped at the gate, and a pair of brother and sister came down and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

Master Qiang not only taught the children to carve, but also took care of the work of cleaning the yard and the gatehouse. When he heard the knock on the door, he came over and opened the door.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

The boy said: "We are cousins ​​of Chen Zhongzhu and Chen Ya, and we are here to visit our younger siblings."

"Wait a little while, I'll report." After Master Qiang finished speaking, he closed the door again, keeping the siblings out.

"People in the country still play bulletins like those of big families in the city? It's a shame to show off." The girl muttered.

The boy looked at the two-acre house: "It would be great if I could live in this yard."

"We are here to accompany our younger siblings, so they naturally want to entertain us."

"What's the use of entertaining for a few days? It's better to stay for a long time. I heard that there are several servants in their family who are responsible for cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the yard, feeding cows and horses. There are many people working in Daejeon. .” This kid has observed quite a lot.

"What kind of shit luck did the couple have to be adopted by such a good family. Why didn't they adopt us?"

"Our parents are still here." The boy was anxious.

"Aren't his parents here?"

"They got separated at that time, and they were met by that surnamed Chen."

The door opened, and Mo Jian came out: "Go back, no one from the Qian family will come here again, and don't talk nonsense outside. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"We are here to see our younger siblings." The boy shouted.

Mo Jian didn't talk nonsense with him, just grabbed the clothes on his chest and lifted him up, he screamed in fright.

Mo Jian didn't throw him, but put him down properly, and said coldly: "Those people were whipped yesterday, didn't they tell you?"

The boy faltered.

"Go back honestly, don't play tricks." After Mo Jian finished speaking, he entered the yard and closed the door.

Honestly, it was impossible, the brother and sister stood at the door and began to scold.

It was also impossible not to be beaten, the two of them were thrown in the face by small stones in the middle of their swearing, and their knees hurt and they knelt on the ground.

The villagers watched another play.

Shi Qingxiao looked at Zhang Ci: "The family members of those children came to the door?"

Zhang Ci smiled: "I want to make a fuss."

"You can laugh about it once, but it's annoying enough to make it twice. There are three children who were arranged by us."

Zhang Ci looked at him with a half-smile.

Shi Qingxiao came to his senses, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the method was not right at that time."

"Come here first and tell me, it's still okay, right?"

"Oh, oh, I was thinking of solving the problem quickly, and I will try my best to pay attention in the future. We will help deal with that group of people." Shi Qingxiao expressed his attitude.

Zhang Ci smiled and said, "Let's go to Su Garden to visit the adults."

Shi Qingxiao was overjoyed and saluted Zhang Ci.

Seeing your lords, the brothers and sisters of the Shi family were both excited and terrified, but they did not lose their sense of proportion, and their demeanor was still upright and elegant.

The gifts for the adults are also cloth, of course, the material must be high-grade, because officials can wear silk and brocade.

Zhongshuling gave Shi Qingxiao an inkstone and Shi Qingwan a jade flute.The two expressed their thanks with excitement and fear.

Chen Fan reluctantly slaughtered another sheep the day before yesterday.This time the son and daughter of the county magistrate's family also came, and it was just right to serve mutton.

At noon, there was a plate of lamb cakes and a lamb scorpion hot pot.

Shi Qingwan liked the plate of sheep cake very much, it was crystal clear.Facing the sheep and scorpion, both brothers and sisters looked puzzled. Is this delicious?
Looking at the joyful faces of the officials, the brothers and sisters were even more puzzled, is it so delicious?

The officials didn't need anyone to help cloth vegetables, and each took a piece of bone with meat and put it in their mouths, with satisfied and intoxicated expressions on their faces.

The two brothers and sisters half-approved and half-hesitantly took a piece into their mouths, and suddenly a strange smell burst out and hit their foreheads, and they both squinted their eyes at the same time.

Very fresh, a little numb, and a little spicy.The tip of the tongue rolled, and the taste spread even more intensely.The meat was stewed so soft that it almost melted in the mouth. The two of them swallowed the meat without any chewing movements. The tip of their tongues were still sucking on the bone, wanting to inhale and feel the taste more.

"What seasonings are used? The taste is very novel." Shi Qingwan asked.

"There are prickly ash, cornel, and a red plant, which was discovered together with cornel. We tasted it at the time, and it felt like drinking wine. It was spicy, so we called it pepper." Chen Fan replied.

All the officials nodded.Tang Chaoying said with a smile: "We all saw it at the time, and we were arguing about whether we could eat it." Recalling the scene at that time, it was like a group of children arguing.

"Later, I tried a way to try it, and ate some boldly. It was okay, and the taste of the dish was very good, so I decided to name it." Hua Shuli began to explain: "We thought of Zanthoxylum bungeanum pepper, so we named it Chili pepper. The word pepper refers to certain plants whose fruits or seeds have a pungent taste."

The two brothers and sisters suddenly realized: "This name is good and unique."

"Can this be planted?" Shi Qingxiao was very conscious of promotion.

"I have harvested some seeds, and they have already been planted. I plan to try planting some every solar term and record the growth." Tang Chaoying introduced a perfect planting plan.

Shi Qingxiao immediately complimented him sincerely and exaggeratedly.

There are not many backbones in a sheep, so there are so many people, and each person only tastes one or two pieces.Everyone started to eat the side dishes in the pot.

It is the season when lotus roots are on the market, and sliced ​​lotus roots must be indispensable.When it is hot, it is crispy and loose, and it is extremely delicious.

The food culture of this era is very prosperous, and there is already a way of cooking, so Chen Fan naturally cooks hot pot openly.She doesn't know how to open a hot pot restaurant, and preparing condiments is a technical job, and it's also a labor-intensive job.She doesn't have the ability to make troubles, she usually just cooks a small pot leisurely at home.

The wide noodles are chewy and soaked in the taste of the soup. When you take a bite, your mouth and throat will be full of the spicy and delicious taste, which makes you want to take a sip.

Due to the image, neither the officials nor the brothers and sisters made the movement of sucking the noodles, but the speed of biting the noodles was obviously much faster.

After eating heavy-flavored ones, and eating some cold dishes, I feel extraordinarily fresh, tender and refreshing.

The fish soup is also delicious.The two brothers and sisters couldn't hold back in the end, poured some fish soup and ate it with rice.

After the meal, Chen Fan made a bowl of egg drop soup for everyone to relieve their appetite.

The siblings are still thinking about chili.Shi Qingwan looked at Chen Fan: "Can I take some seeds home and try to grow one?"
