Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 57 Winter of the Third Year of Hongwu

After half an hour.

In the pavilion, the huge stone table was in a mess, with only a pile of empty plates left.

"It's been a long time since I ate something so delicious."

Wang Yuemin licked his mouth with some unfinished thoughts, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a look of enjoyment.

From the moment she ate a piece of beef, she was full of praise for the hot pot.

As a dignified former princess of the Yuan Dynasty, I have never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now I am so obsessed with hot pot. One of the main reasons is the spiciness.

And this is exactly what Wang Yuemin wants to ask at this moment.

"Master Yang, can you tell me now what the colorful and pungent grass flowers floating on the red soup are?" Wang Yuemin asked.

The thing Wang Yuemin was pointing to was none other than red pepper.

Chili peppers are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. They were not introduced to China until the middle and late Ming Dynasty, probably during the Jiajing and Wanli years.

Wang Yuemin naturally couldn't recognize it.

Before chili peppers were officially introduced to China, the spiciness that everyone was exposed to had a certain spiciness, with ginger, garlic, pepper, dogwood, and onions as the main spicy ingredients.

This is the first time Wang Yuemin has tasted such a pure spicy flavor as chili pepper.

That's why it stimulated her taste buds so much.

For Yang Xian, there are not many merit points required to redeem this contemporary product from the system.

He directly exchanged some seeds and planted them in his greenhouse, because the quantity planted was not large.

This batch of chili peppers was not sent to the capital for sale, but was kept for one's own enjoyment.

"The thing you are referring to is called chili pepper, and it also comes from overseas."

Yang Xian smiled and said: "The most indispensable thing for eating hot pot is this thing."

Yang Xian is a staunch supporter of spicy hotpot.

"chili?"

The name is easy to understand, and once you taste it, you can quickly connect the two.

Wang Yuemin nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, after next spring, the people of Yangzhou can grow more of these peppers. I think it will definitely sell well in the market as a fresh kitchen seasoning."

Yang Xian also had the same idea.

In ancient times, chili peppers were more than just seasonings.

It also has strong medicinal properties.

Chili pepper is pungent and hot in nature. It has the effect of sweating and relieving the surface. It can treat wind-cold colds, aversion to cold without sweating, spleen and stomach deficiency, cold-damp stagnation and other diseases.In addition, the capsaicin in peppers can also promote blood circulation, improve heart function, and delay the development of atherosclerosis.

As long as these doctors can incorporate pepper into the medicinal materials for treating diseases.

Then for every person they treated with chili pepper, Yang Xian would gain merit points accordingly.

This deal is a huge profit.

In fact, before coming to Yangzhou, Wang Yuemin had already found the accountant to settle the accounts.

The reason why she finally chose to come here was because at this moment she thought she was angry.

Now the anger is gone.

Of course it's time to go back.

Yang Xian also had quite a surprise. Although he had an estimate of how much money the Chamber of Commerce would make in the past few months.

But when the real profit was placed in front of him, he was still a little surprised.

Including the money lent to Zhu Han, he earned a total of 37 taels of silver!

You must know that it is the third year of Hongwu. In this year, the entire imperial court's tax revenue is only a few million taels of silver.

In a moment of joy.

When Wang Yuemin left, Yang Xian not only gave her a "Basic Arithmetic Textbook", but also prepared a winter vacation homework for her, which was all about the four arithmetic operations.

As a shopkeeper who is very likely to become the largest trading house in the Ming Dynasty in the future, it is necessary to improve his arithmetic skills.

In the winter of the third year of Hongwu.

Also in the winter of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to formally send a large army to attack Mobei in order to completely eradicate the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Historically known as Hongwu's Northern Expedition.Beijing.

Duke of Wei.

woodshed.

The majestic and undefeated military god of the Ming Dynasty and the Duke of a country actually hid here and secretly ate roast goose.

Along with Xu Da, there were several of his children.

"Dad, eldest sister said, you can't eat goose." The little girl Xu Miaojin persuaded.

"Don't just follow me and make fun of me."

Xu Da didn't pay attention to his youngest daughter's dissuasion. He tore off another goose leg with his oily hands, and at the same time said to his youngest son Xu Zengshou: "Eat quickly."

"Don't tell my sister." Xu Zengshou said while eating goose meat.

"We will have finished eating when your eldest sister comes back." Xu Da smiled when he saw that his youngest son was even more timid than him.

Seeing that Xu Miaojin was still standing there stupidly, he quickly pulled off the other goose's thigh and handed it over.

"Miaojin, you come too."

"Here, you can have a piece too. It's delicious."

"No." Xu Miaojin swallowed and shook his head.

She was about to continue to refuse, but Xu Da had already stuffed the fat and oily goose leg into her hand.

"Eat, it's delicious."

Xu Miaojin raised her head, looked at Xu Da's sincere eyes, then looked at the goose leg in her hand, opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Is it delicious or not?" Xu Da said with a squinted smile.

"Yes." Xu Miaojin nodded, his voice as thin as a mosquito's moan.

"Don't tell eldest sister after you've eaten, or you'll get scolded too." Seeing this, Xu Zengshou said quickly.

But his words did not fall.

boom!
The door to the woodshed, which was originally closed, was pushed open.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xu Da froze there, holding a half-eaten roast goose leg in his hand.

Xu Miaojin and Xu Zengshou quickly stood up and retreated behind Xu Da.

"It's a long shot."

"They all hid in the woodshed."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Da and said.

"Sister." Xu Zengshou wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Xu Miaoyun.

"Shut up, and you guys. Have you forgotten what the doctor told you?"

"Girl."

"Shut up, too." Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Da with a cold face and said heartbrokenly. "They are still young and ignorant. How about you, are you old and confused?"

"Miaojin, take it away!"

Xu Miaojin lowered her head, glanced at Xu Da quietly, and slowly walked forward, preparing to take away the plate of roast goose on the table.

Xu Miaoyun became angry when she saw Xu Da was still winking at Xu Miaojin.

He took a step forward, reached out and snatched the half of the roast goose leg from Xu Da's hand, threw it back into the plate, then picked up a large plate of roast goose with both hands and walked out of the house.

Xu Da could only watch as his beloved thing was taken away by his most beloved daughter.

It didn't take long.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound came from the yard.

Xu Da reached out and patted his forehead, his face full of pain.

If this girl doesn't change her temper, she may not be able to find a husband.
