Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos
Chapter 29 Chili, the damn thief
After buying the offal, she went to the grocery store to buy some salt and sugar. She had almost used all the ingredients for making braised food and bracken in the past two days.
When we arrived at the grocery store, the shopkeeper was busy sorting out the newly arrived goods: "Girl, take a look at what you want. I'll sort out the new goods first."
"Okay, you get busy first."
Only then did Yao Qingnian look at the grocery store carefully. The store had a complete range of goods with a wide variety, many of which were not available in other stores.
"Boss, why do you have so many strange things? Other grocery stores don't have such a wide range of things."
The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing.
"Girl, you may not know this, but our caravan travels all over the country, and we always bring back any new things, dried goods, and seeds we find, so our shop has a lot of rare things, which other shops can't compare to."
The shopkeeper introduced it to Yao Qingnian proudly.
"Are these your new arrivals?"
There were many things on the ground that had just been unloaded from the carriage.
"Yes, our caravan happened to pass through the county today, and we only deliver goods once a month or so."
"Shopkeeper, can I take a look?"
"Female, feel free to look around, but things haven't been sorted out yet, so they're a bit messy."
The shopkeeper was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with slightly upturned temples, giving people a amiable feeling.
Yao Qingnian looked through the pile of goods but didn't see anything special.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was busy, Yao Qingnian picked out what he wanted, paid and prepared to leave.
"Old Ding, what is this thing?"
The shopkeeper held up a plant and shouted to the uncle who was unloading the goods.
"It was given to me by a Hu merchant. He said it was called something called red pepper. He said it would bear red fruits and would be nice as a bonsai, so I accepted it."
Chili pepper? When Yao Qingnian heard these two words, his eyes lit up, and his mind was filled with images of hot pot, boiled pork slices, and pickled fish.
She turned around excitedly and looked at the plant in the boss's hand. It was indeed a pepper seedling. The pepper seedling had not yet grown and did not look anything special.
Chili peppers are indispensable in modern life, and Yao Qingnian is also a person with a strong taste. With chili peppers, there are so many things that can be made.
Surprised, Yao Qingnian asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, can you sell me this pepper?"
"Do you know the girl?"
"Yes, this is a pepper seedling."
Yao Qingnian did not hide anything and told the truth.
"Chili seedlings?"
"This is a seasoning that we don't have here. I bought it from a Hu merchant by chance and have been thinking about it. I didn't expect to come across it today."
Yao Qingnian made up an excuse.
"Girl, take it if you want. I don't think this plant is anything special."
The shopkeeper didn't see what was so special about it, and he didn't have the time to grow this thing.
"Thank you, boss. How much silver?"
"Take the five cents."
Yao Qingnian paid readily and told the shopkeeper to bring chili peppers to her next time if she saw any and she would buy them.
There was endless joy between her brows, and she walked out of the grocery store with the pepper seedlings in her hand, feeling extremely happy.
I was walking down the street when I heard a shout from behind: "Come on, catch the thief!"
The nearby police heard the noise and came over to arrest the man.
A man with disheveled hair, an ugly scar on his face, a thin body and long legs knocked the pepper seedling out of Yao Qingnian's hand. A horse-drawn carriage was coming from behind, and the wheels just ran over the pepper seedling. Yao Qingnian picked up the runover pepper seedling with heartache, not knowing whether it could still be planted.
Which bastard walked without paying attention and didn’t even apologize after bumping into her? These were the pepper seedlings she had finally come across, and they were her hot pot!
Yao Qingnian packed up his things, clenched his fists, an uncontrollable anger rolled in his heart, and a flash of rage in his eyes made people shudder.
She quickly locked onto the man in the crowd and ran after him. Damn it, he destroyed her pepper seedlings and still wanted to run away!
Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will chase you back.
She followed the man to a secluded alley first. The man took out the purse he had just robbed, weighed it in his hand, and smiled slyly.
Yao Qingnian stepped forward, grabbed him and beat him up. The man being beaten had no power to fight back at all: "I told you not to hit me! Pay me for the chili seedlings!"
The thief didn't understand what Yao Qingnian meant and thought that she had stolen her money, so he shouted, "Stop hitting me! I'll give you all the money. I won't do it again next time!"
The thief was beaten so hard that he screamed and took out all the stolen silver and stuffed it all into Yao Qingnian.
"Why do I need your money? Pay me for the chili peppers!"
Yao Qingnian felt unsatisfied, so he stepped forward and kicked him twice more.
"What is chili?" It turns out it doesn't cost money.
"Auntie, I really don't know what the chili you are talking about is. I didn't take any!"
The soldier who was chasing heard the noise and ran over. This soldier happened to be the one who delivered the reward money to Yao Qingnian.
"Miss Yao, why are you here?"
Yao Qingnian was angry and didn't react.
"you are?"
"I am the official who is delivering your reward. Have you forgotten?"
"It's you!" Yao Qingnian thought about it.
"What's going on here?"
The officer looked at the man lying on the ground unable to get up from the beating.
"This guy is a thief. He ran after he hit me. He also stole someone's wallet and I caught him red-handed."
"Miss Yao is really good at fighting. I admire you. If you have any problems next time, just come to the government office to find me. My name is Liu Junjie."
Liu Junjie admired Yao Qingnian very much. This girl caught a fugitive yesterday and a thief today. She is really capable.
"Okay, thank you Brother Liu!"
When Yao Qingnian saw the police coming, he had almost let out some anger, so he handed the man over to the police and left. The thief didn't understand how he had offended the woman in front of him. He had no idea what the chili she was talking about was, and he felt very wronged.
At this time, an old lady caught up with him and said, "Thank you, girl. That damn thief almost ruined my day's work."
The lady thanked him profusely and left with her lost wallet.
Yao Qingnian was affected by what happened just now. He was hungry, so he went to the old place and ordered a bowl of wontons. He felt better after eating.
He continued to buy the things he needed. When the refined rice at home was gone, Yao Qingnian went to buy another 30 kilograms of refined rice.
After taking out the things he had bought in advance, Yao Qingnian came to the place he had agreed to meet with Ye Youcai, where Ye Youcai was already waiting.
After returning home, Yao Qingnian took out the crushed pepper seedling from the space, found a place in the yard, and carefully planted the pepper seedling there. The upper half of the pepper seedling was damaged, and he didn't know if it could survive after being planted.
