The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 151 Favorite Things
"I was..." Li Xiaoyue suddenly realized that she almost spilled the beans, "I saw it in my dream. I often have some weird dreams."

“Especially after eating black sesame seeds, I became even more curious about Fanbang’s seeds.”

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

Old Man Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then your dream is quite broad. However, the name you gave Dongxu is not right."

"It's golden, shouldn't it be called golden rice?"

"Uh..." Li Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I think it sounds like jade, and corn sounds nice. Golden rice is a bit vulgar."

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Old Man Li stopped worrying about the name and continued to look to the other side, "What's in the other bag? It looks like it's also seeds."

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

It's obviously twice as big as the one before, but not as heavy as that one.

After untying the knot cord on it, Li Siqiang opened it and saw that it was all red.

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

Li Xiaoyue leaned over and took a closer look. She was so happy that her eyes were almost glued to the things in her pocket.

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

Li Xiaoyue took out a piece of dried chili pepper that was about the size of a finger, and shook it with trembling hands.

"There should be seeds inside. I'm going to get scissors, cut off the outer shell, and pour out the seeds inside."

"This thing seems to have a pungent smell. Is it poisonous?" Old Man Li 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, stared at Chili, and swallowed secretly.

She was almost starving for it.

This is chili!

Fried pork with chili, shredded chili potatoes, chili fish, chili...

As someone who doesn’t like spicy food, everything I eat tastes less flavorful without chili peppers.

Although there is dogwood, how can the taste of dogwood be compared to that of chili?
Li Xiaoyue can eat two big steamed buns dipped in chili oil.

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

She could imagine that her behavior should be similar to that of a 30-year-old smoker when he sees a cigarette.

"Dad, there is another Zhang here, let me take a look first."

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

The yellow one was brought from the Rakshasa Kingdom, which is [-] miles away.

The one with a pungent smell can make people's skin sting and is very spicy.

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

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Dad, take a look, the non-toxic ones are called chili peppers."

Old Man Li was still vigilant, "Even if it's not poisonous, you have to try it before you know."

Li Xiaoyue was eager to eat the chili peppers, but she still had to wait.

The box that Manager Xie sent contained spices, but no seeds.

Although a bit disappointing, there are so many spices and it can be delicious.

Old Man Li smiled and said, "With so many spices, you can stew a lot of meat. However, you still have to be careful about what you eat."

"The top four, crush them and give them to the pigs and dogs first. When it's all right, we can eat them later."

"Yes, Grandpa." Li Siqiang agreed and left the matter to him.

After several days of testing, it was confirmed to be non-toxic.

Li Xiaoyue carefully put on gloves, cut the peppers open with scissors, and poured out the seeds inside.

Dry again, put in bags, and store in a dry warehouse.

Next year, she will plant these seeds in the ground and harvest more.

Wen Xiaolan came over with the account book, "Madam, all the wool has been spun now, and the spinning wheels and looms have been maintained." When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she stood up, "Okay, we will pay you today. and bonuses.”

Old Man Li smiled and said, "No wonder you got so much money back from the county bank. It turned out to be wages and bonuses!"

Wen Xiaolan asked in a low voice: "Madam, we have so much food, why don't we use food instead of bonuses?"

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

"If they have money, they can not only buy from us, but also go to the county to buy."

Wen Xiaolan nodded, "That's right. If we use food as payment, it's obviously a good intention, but some people are not happy."

"It's just that we have so much food here. If we can't finish it next year, it will become old food."

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

"What's the big deal?" Old Man Li and Wen Xiaolan were both curious and asked in unison.

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

At the door, many people were queuing up to collect their wages.

This month's four taels of silver, plus a bonus equivalent to half of the salary, is six taels of silver.

The bonus part, woolen cloth, was sold to the workers at half price, but one person could only buy half a piece.

These fabrics can keep you warm, and many people buy woolen fabrics directly.

Some even wanted to buy food, and Li Xiaoyue satisfied them.

Everyone received the money and went home happily.

Even though it is very cold outside now, the people wearing single clothes are still beaming with joy.

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

The food is sufficient, and there is meat for every meal, which is more delicious and rich than the people's own meals.

Old Man Li stood on the stage and said to everyone: "Now there is a war. You should try to stay at home and don't come out."

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

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

This year, I have been working hard to earn wages and have money in my hands. Not a single grain of food in my family has been sold.

Everyone knows the simple truth that during a war, money may not necessarily buy food.

People from several villages took their wages and did not leave.

There are those doing business, selling meat, selling sugar, and vendors selling various things. When they learned that Lihua Village was getting paid, they came here early to set up stalls.

You can buy things without going to the county town, and the price is not expensive.

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

They didn't disperse until nightfall.

Old Man Li took his sons and grandchildren to carefully check the doors and windows.

Soon it will snow heavily.

And people were arranged to patrol in turns to take care of the food in the workshops and warehouses.

"Changfu, are all the briquettes at home gone?"

Li Changfu replied: "It has already been released. It was mentioned in our announcement ten days ago."

"Almost every household has purchased briquettes for the winter."

"In addition, my shop is filled with briquettes inside and outside."

"Leave a little boy over there. If someone runs out of briquettes, he can come to the shop to transfer some briquettes in case of an emergency."

"Very good, you are very thoughtful." Li Xiaoyue praised, "Changlu...ah, where is Changlu?"
