People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 263 Chili peppers were discovered! Daming is about to enter the era of food upgrades ahead of schedule!
Then Chen Han asked about Chelsea.

"It turns out he is still a major general!" Chen Han laughed.

"Okay! Very good! You still have some use. Your role is to stay and train the Ming Dynasty's navy!" Chen Han did not kill these people completely. After all, the Ming Dynasty's navy has not yet been formed.

Although he controls a lot of money, without technology, everything is in vain.

The West can learn and absorb Eastern technology like crazy, why can’t the East?
As for the ships and artillery, Chen Han also had to stay and study them.

Later, many of the world's most powerful red cannons got inspiration from these cannons.

When Chelsea heard that Chen Han didn't even think about killing him, he burst into tears of gratitude.

After seeing the cruelty of Chen Han and Cao Zhengchun, he didn't dare to think that he could still be alive.

"As long as you don't kill me, I can teach you all the knowledge I know. I am a talented student who graduated from the Royal Naval School. I know how to use a sextant and I have high knowledge of navigation.

I once led the Nanyang detachment of our Invincible Fleet and made great contributions. "

The translator translated these words to Chen Han and the others. At the same time, he also added: "Sir, although this guy is a bit greedy for life and fear of death, what he said is true. It is said that the establishment of the Governor's Palace of Luzon Island is also due to him. .

The fact that he was awarded the title of major general at the age of forty is also related to those merits. "

Chen Han looked at Chelsea and finally nodded: "Okay! You will stay and teach everything you know to our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

Then Chen Han did not kill all the civil servants, only some who had participated in the massacre of Chinese people. He directly killed the rest of the talented ones and kept them.

Of course, just when Chen Han meant it was over, Li Rusong was packing up the Spanish ship when he suddenly rushed out of the kitchen with a mixture of surprises and a bunch of things in his hands.

"Captain, look! Look!!"

Chen Han was playing with the monocular on the deck, listening to what he said, and looked at him with the telescope.

I saw that this kid was holding a bunch of things in his hands. Chen Han was also very surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the kid was holding a bunch of chili peppers.

It is said that pepper was introduced to China at the end of the Wanli Year. Of course, people at that time did not know that it was a seasoning and only regarded it as an ornamental plant.

However, Chen Han understood that the introduction of chili pepper to China was absolutely revolutionary for the Chinese diet.

If there is no chili pepper in China's food culture, then many delicacies will be as if they are missing their soul.

Especially in the southwest and Jiangxi regions, it is absolutely spicy and enjoyable.

But there is a place that is quite fun.

In fact, the first place where chili peppers were introduced was in Guangdong and Guangxi.

But in the end it was the inland areas that flourished.

Chen Han took the chili from Li Rusong's hand, which was only the size of his little finger.

After breaking it open, I smelled a pungent spicy smell.

Of course, this kind of pepper is still slightly inferior to the pepper called Chaotian pepper in Sichuan and Chongqing areas.

But if it were eaten by Ming Dynasty people who had never tasted chili peppers, it would definitely make them cry.

"Captain, why is this thing so spicy? You have repeatedly told us to search for these carefully if we fight against foreigners, just like you told us to pay attention to potatoes last time."

Chen Han explained: "Potatoes are a high-yielding crop. Although they are quite destructive to soil fertility, they don't care about the place. They rot and can grow in any corner where food cannot be grown.

Of course, such good grain seeds must be vigorously promoted. "

Li Rusong nodded after hearing this: "So that's it, then this is a good thing for the people. If you add one to the unwanted ground, you can survive. It's a good thing! So what is this pepper you are talking about?"

Chen Han took the broken chili and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Take a bite!!”

After all, Li Rusong was naive and easy to deceive, so he actually took a bite. Just after taking one bite, he felt as if his tongue had been hammered several times. It hurt! !
What followed was a mouth full of fire.

Ahhh...

Li Rusong felt as if his mouth was on fire.

Spicy is not a taste, but a pain.

So the sudden pain paralyzed Li Rusong's entire mouth.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts..." Li Rusong had tears and runny eyes coming out, looking very embarrassed.

Liu Ting and Wang Hu hurriedly came forward: "Brother, what's wrong with you? It's like you drank arsenic!"

Liu Ting is a talkative person who looks like he is not afraid of big troubles when watching a show.

Seeing him gloating over his misfortune, Li Rusong forced the remaining half of the chili pepper from Chen Han's hand into his mouth.

"Ah... Bah, bah, bah... ah, it hurts, it hurts..." Liu Ting also felt as if there was a ball of fire in his mouth.

Why does it hurt so much?

Wang Hu quickly stood aside when he saw the two of them acting like this.

An Youniang had been watching from the side. Seeing the miserable condition of the two people, she looked at the pepper in Chen Han's hand with lingering fear.

"Master! Is this thing so powerful?" An Youniang asked.

Chen Han smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"

An Younian waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no... I don't dare!!"

After Liu Ting and Li Rusong drank several glasses of water and finally recovered a little, Chen Han asked, "What does it feel like?"

"Sir, I will never touch this thing again. It's too spicy! It hurts too much!!" Li Rusong was still frightened.

Chen Han explained: "This is their real power. When eaten, they can produce a burning sensation in the mouth, stimulate appetite, and increase the umami taste of the dishes. In fact, they can be classified as green vegetables."

Li Rusong looked at the red pepper with salivation: "This is a seasoning dish!! I thought it was an ornamental flower."

Liu Ting also came over with salivation at the corner of his mouth, "But let's not say that although this thing is a bit irritating in the mouth, it can still stimulate the appetite. I think if this thing can be put in the dish, it will definitely taste better."

Liu Ting deserves to be from Nanchang.

I wonder if the gene for spicy food already exists.

An explanation is necessary here.

Although peppers did not appear in ancient times, similar vegetables have long existed, such as dogwood, pepper, and mustard, all of which have similar functions.

Therefore, it is estimated that Nanchang cuisine at that time was already quite spicy, so Liu Ting tasted the spicier peppers and his mouth began to salivate.

Chen Han took the chili pepper and said: "Okay, let's add a touch of color to our Ming Dynasty's dishes."

After docking, before Chen Han and the others had time to return to the hotel, a member of the Jinyi Guard Baihu hurried over: "Captain! Good news!"

Chen Han asked: "What's the good news?"

Baihu replied: "While we were sending the women who were trafficked last time back to their places of origin in batches, we found a foreign girl. After asking, we found out that this foreign girl has a good background. She said her name was Sophia, and her father It’s Governor Hao Jing Franji!”
