Chapter 166: The Surprise Appearance of Chili Peppers in Ancient Times
We found a place with a pond nearby and many fish were swimming around in it.
Gao Zhijun asked everyone to come down and weed. After clearing an area of three acres, she took down the cotton cloth and spread it on the ground, and then took the food out of the car.
"The elderly and children will stay here to rest. Baihu Baichen and Mo Yu will stay to protect them. The rest of you can go out together to look for wild vegetables or food. Each group of five will be followed by a person with strong martial arts skills to protect your safety.
We compete to see who can find the most and biggest food, and that team wins."
Gao Mangjun said to the Huo family and the Sun family.
"Sixth sister-in-law, I agree!"
Huo Jinfeng was excited and eager to try it out.
So, everyone found good teammates.
In addition to the three elderly people, Huo Jin, Zhang Chan and Zhuang Die, there were also Huo Wenhai, Huo Wenyang, Huo Wenbin, Sun Dawu, Sun Meixiang and Gao Yuxuan who stayed, as well as Xiaohua, Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu who stayed to take care of the children, and the rest all participated in the Bihan.
Gao Zhijun, Lu, Huo Jinqian, Mo Xue, Huo Wenshan, and Huo Wenzhuo are in one group; Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Jinfeng, Huo Wenlong, Xiaocui, Xiaofang, and Qinglong are in one group; Huo Jinchuan, Sun Dawen, Xiaoxue, and Canglang are in one group.
Everyone finds a team and then sets out in different directions to hunt for treasure.
Except for the direction we just came in from, the other three directions will be decided by drawing lots.
Gao Zhijun drew the left side, Huo Zhiyuan drew the front side, and Huo Jinchuan drew the right side.
Three teams set off!
Gao Zhijun set off with Lu, Huo Jinqian, Huo Wenshan, Huo Wenzhuo and Mo Xue.
Mo Xue was responsible for taking care of Huo Wenshan, while Huo Jinqian was responsible for taking care of Huo Wenzhuo. Gao Zhijun carried a backpack on her back, looking at the ground attentively to see if there were any herbs that had been missed.
Lu also followed Gao Zhijun's example and looked around to see if there were any herbs that had been dug up.
"Hey, what is that?"
Suddenly, Huo Wenzhuo pointed to a strange-looking plant in front of him and said.
Gao Zhijun looked up and saw several plants with green leaves and long, pointed fruits growing on the branches. Some of the fruits were red, some were green, and some were both red and green.
Holy crap! Chili pepper!
She didn't expect that there were wild peppers in ancient times. She was already shocked when she saw wild sweet potatoes, but she didn't expect to see wild peppers.
This is good stuff, the best seasoning for hot pot.
It seems that my second uncle’s hot pot restaurant can open early.
She thought that in ancient times, the most common thing seen was sweet potatoes, and modern things should not have appeared in ancient times.
Now it seems that she was too narrow-minded. Many modern wild foods should have appeared in ancient times, but they have not been discovered.
"Everyone, help pick the red fruits. They are called chili peppers and are a very good seasoning. Be careful when picking them, and don't let the spicy smell get into your eyes."
Gao Zhijun said to everyone excitedly.
"Zhijun, can I eat chili peppers?"
Seeing Zhijun so happy, Mrs. Lu asked her curiously.
"Of course you can eat it. Not only can it be eaten raw, but it can also be fried. But it is quite spicy. If people who cannot eat spicy food eat it, their stomachs will not be able to handle it.
It is better and spicier than Sichuan pepper and dogwood.”
Gao Zhijun explained.
It can be said that no one can resist the taste of crayfish, and no one can resist the charm of chili.
Think about Lao Gan Ma and chili sauce, which are indispensable for modern people to have instant rice and noodles.
When she heard that it was better than Sichuan pepper and dogwood, Lu was extremely excited.
The price of a pound of Sichuan pepper is two taels of silver, and the price of a pound of dogwood is one tael, five hundred wen. If pepper is better than them, then it should cost two taels, five hundred wen or three taels per pound, or even higher than three taels of silver.
Thinking that these were all silver, Lu almost didn't regard them as his ancestors.
In addition to Huo Wenzhuo, Huo Wenshan, Gao Zhijun, Lu Shi, Huo Jinqian, and Mo Xue all helped pick peppers.
Soon, they had picked all the red peppers, filling half a basket.
Gao Zhijun said to everyone with satisfaction: "Come back to pick these green ones later.
Also, if there are peppers here, there should be peppers in other places, so everyone should take a closer look. "
Gao Zhijun believed that a few pepper plants would not appear for no reason, and there should be some in other places as well.
These pepper plants are the same size, which means they grew together.
If several plants can grow for no reason, it means that the seeds should be from the same pepper. It is possible that an animal brought the pepper from somewhere else and ate it here, leaving the pepper seeds on the soil and then sprouting and growing into pepper trees.
After hearing this, Lu and Huo Jinqian walked while carefully observing the plants around them.
Gao Zhijun still dug out the herbs that had been missed. Mo Xue held Huo Wenzhuo in one hand and Huo Wenshan in the other, and kept a close eye on the surroundings to see if there were any dangerous animals.
On the other side, Huo Zhiyuan led Huo Jinfeng, Huo Wenlong, Xiao Cui, Xiao Fang, and Qinglong and walked forward.
Xiao Cui held Huo Wenlong's hand, and everyone looked around to see if there were any fruits or pheasants or rabbits.
Since Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Jinfeng and Huo Wenlong had walked through the mountains and knew some herbs, the three of them were looking at the weeds to see if there were any herbs or wild vegetables that they had missed.
There were no medicinal herbs, because the herbs they knew were also known to the villagers, so how could they miss them and let them dig them?
There were quite a lot of wild vegetables. The three members of the Huo family dug up a basket and then stopped digging.
"Dad, do the red fruits on the tree look like apples?"
Huo Jinfeng pointed to a towering tree with big, red fruits on it and asked Huo Zhiyuan.
They have eaten apples before, so of course they know them.
