I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

After learning the whereabouts of the foreigners, Xu Congyi became impatient and walked quickly in front, with the remaining three following behind.

"Hey, mate! Is there a foreign businessman staying here?" Xu Cong couldn't wait to ask the waiter standing by the counter as soon as he entered the door.

"Yes," the waiter answered, and saw the foreigner coming down from upstairs, "Isn't this it?"

Xu Cong turned her head and saw that it was indeed a foreigner. She walked over in two steps.

"Hello! Are you here to sell something?"

The foreigner was a little wary when he saw someone asking the waiter about him, but he was very excited when he heard the little girl in front of him greet him in her own language.

"Oh! I'm so happy, I can't believe you speak English!"

Seeing that this foreigner spoke Chinese fluently, Xu Congyi directly switched to Chinese to talk to him.

"Hello, I heard that you are a businessman passing by. Do you have anything rare to sell?"

"Yes!" The foreigner was very happy. "My things are all in the room on the first floor. I rented a room to store them. Do you want to see it?"

"Of course," Xu Congyi nodded repeatedly. She turned around and asked her father and two brothers if they wanted to go and take a look together. The three of them said they didn't want to, and that Xu Congyi could just go and find what she wanted. After all, they had met foreigners who came to sell things before, but there was nothing they could use. Therefore, Hunter Xu gave the purse to Xu Congyi and told her to buy whatever she liked. They then sat outside and waited.

This was exactly what Xu Congyi wanted. It would be convenient for her to go in and pick the seeds by herself. In this way, she could take out the seeds from the space and pretend that she bought them from foreigners.

Xu Congyi followed the foreigner into the room. There were a lot of miscellaneous things in it. Xu Congyi was very curious about how the foreigner brought all these things. She picked and chose. In fact, there were not many of these things that she needed, but she had to take a few to cover up her tracks. She picked a few cheap gadgets. Although they were cheap, they still cost one or two taels of silver. Sure enough, these "imported" things were expensive. She packed up these things and threw them into the small basket she was carrying behind her, then left the room.

Seeing Xu Congyi coming out, and there was nothing else to do, the few of them decided to take the ox cart back directly. When they arrived at the agreed place, the rest of the passengers were already waiting there, so they could set off as soon as the Xu family came back.

When she got home, Xu Congyi didn't even bother to drink a sip of water. She went straight back to her room and bought a bunch of fresh red peppers, dried red peppers and pepper seeds from the space. She also bought five bars of goat's milk soap. The goat's milk soap she bought was the light brown kind, not the pure white one like today. This way it looked more like something from this dynasty. She also considered whether to take out the coriander, but after thinking about it, not everyone in modern times likes to eat coriander, so she gave up. Xu Congyi put these things into the backpack, then opened the door and went out as if nothing had happened.

The whole family was sitting in the yard. Xu Congyi calmly took out the things in the basket one by one. When he took out the peppers, Li Dahua took one out of curiosity, as she had never seen one before.

"Girl, what is this?"

"Mom, this thing is called chili pepper. It's in the fairy book. I bought it when I saw it. It's eaten as a side dish. I'll use it to stir-fry pork offal. It's especially delicious..."

When Li Dahua heard that it was food, she bit half of the chili in her hand before Xu Congyi finished speaking. The fresh chili Xu Congyi bought was chili pepper, which was very spicy. After Li Dahua took a bite, she stood up immediately because of the spiciness without even chewing it twice.

“Ahhhh! My mouth hurts so much, it hurts so much!”

Xu Congyi quickly scooped a bowl of cold water that had just been drawn from the well and handed it to Li Dahahua, asking her to rinse her mouth and spit it out. If it still tasted spicy, she should rinse her mouth and spit it out again.

Li Dahua sat down only when she could no longer feel the spiciness. Mother Xu was a little frightened when she saw her daughter-in-law's reaction after just one bite.

"Yiyi, are you sure this little red thing is edible? Your mother's mouth hurt so much after taking a bite. Did you buy the wrong one?"

"No, grandma," Xu Congyi explained patiently, "My mother wasn't in the most pain just now, but because of the spiciness. This thing is called chili pepper, which is also a condiment. The type I bought is quite spicy, so even if you eat it raw, you can only eat a small bite. My mother had never eaten it before and was not prepared. In addition, she bit half of it at once, so she had this reaction."

Hearing this, the Xu family felt relieved. Xu Congyi went to the kitchen to take a look. There was a dough prepared by Li Dahua that was rising. It was a mixture of white flour and cornmeal. Xu's mother said that they would have steamed buns with stewed potatoes tonight. There was some pork at home. There was still half a jar of soybean paste left from the noodle soup they had made when they invited the villagers to dinner. Xu Congyi planned to make some spicy meat sauce for his family to try. It would also be a delicious dish when eaten with steamed buns.
