Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Han Yiyi hurriedly spoke with a smile.

"You are too polite, sir. I am so happy that you call me young. How could I mind? Besides, it's just a title. You don't have to mind it..."

When Manager Liu saw that his young master's face showed an unprecedented embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"The peppers that Madam Han grows are far away from here. Can you take us to see them..."

"Of course you can. It's just next to the yard..."

Han Yiyi led several people to the vegetable garden next door. Before they got close, they saw the peppers growing on the branches. The colors of the peppers were bright and eye-catching, some were red, some were green, and some were half red and half green. They looked like ribbons hanging between the green branches. They were so beautiful that people couldn't help drooling when looking at them.

Manager Liu couldn't help but take a few quick steps forward, picked a red one, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and the next moment he couldn't help but sneeze because of the choking.

Seeing this, Han Yiyi hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

"Be careful, don't let the juice splash into your eyes, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable..."

Yun Xiao originally wanted to go forward and pick one, but after hearing Han Yiyi's words, he withdrew his hand, turned to look at the millet pepper on the other side and asked.

“There are also peppers here…”

"Yes, this one is chili pepper, which is spicier than this two-jin one. This long pepper is much spicier, but this one is still small now, so we have to wait a while before we can eat it..."

Originally, Han Yiyi wanted to say two gold bars, but was afraid that it would be difficult to explain if she said it out loud. What does a pepper have to do with gold bars? So she just said it was a long pepper, which was more vivid.

Yun Xiao looked at the planting area of these long peppers again, and it seemed that the total area was less than one acre.

Thinking of what Manager Tong had told him before, Han Yiyi said that these long peppers could only supply the Yunlai Restaurant in Ping'an Town for two months. He thought that these were all they had, which was a pity, but he still asked.

"Are these the only peppers that Madam Han has planted?"

“Yes, that’s all…”

Han Yiyi thought Yun Xiao was worried that his peppers would not be able to supply the Yunlai Restaurant, so she continued.

"Don't worry, sir. Yunlai Restaurant will have no problem using this long pepper for two months. Even if there is no fresh one, we can dry it. The taste of the dishes cooked with it will be a little different, but it will not affect the effect. Some dishes will even taste better when fried with meat using dried peppers. As for two months later, this chili pepper can be used. Although the number of chili peppers is not large, if we save it a little, it should be no problem to use it until the peppers are mature next year..."

After hearing what Han Yiyi said, Yun Xiao knew that it was a misunderstanding, so he began to explain.

"No, Madam Han has misunderstood. I did not question Madam Han's intention. It was just because I ate the dishes that Madam Han fried with chili peppers a few days ago and thought they tasted good. Besides, there are more than one restaurant under the name of my Yun family in Ping'an Town. Therefore, I thought that if there is any leftover, it could be provided to restaurants elsewhere..."

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, before Han Yiyi could speak, he suddenly thought of something and asked again.

"Mrs. Han, you just said that these peppers can be picked and dried and used, right? Then how long can they be stored after being dried?"

"Yes, they can be used after being dried, but you have to wait until they are all red before you can pick them. After they are dried, do not place them in a humid place. Seal them well and they can be kept for a year or two without any problem..."

Originally, Yun Xiao thought that although this pepper was good, how to preserve it was a problem. According to Shopkeeper Tong, a fresh one could only be kept for three to five days.

They have been doing business for many years, so they naturally have ways to keep the food fresh, but if they do that, the cost will increase greatly. Now that they hear Han Yiyi say this, they can use the dry ones, which can save a lot of labor and material resources.

However, what Yun Xiao wanted most were the chili seeds. Once he had the seeds, he could plant some near every restaurant, so that he would have both fresh and dried chili peppers.

"I wonder where Madam Han's pepper seeds come from. Have you ever thought about selling these pepper seeds..."

Han Yiyi was still introducing the chili pepper to Manager Liu. When she heard Yun Xiao's words, she was stunned for a moment before she spoke.

"Sir, you want these pepper seeds, but I don't have any now. I found this edible thing in the back mountain before, and I left some seeds and planted them all in the ground. If you want them now, you can pick some red peppers, take out the seeds inside and plant them. However, the planting season has passed now, and you have to wait until March or April next year to plant them..."

Originally, when Shopkeeper Tong heard that his young master wanted to buy chili pepper seeds, he was complaining in his heart that his young master was too greedy. He thought that people gave him a peach, but he wanted to pull away all the peach trees. But after hearing what Han Yiyi said, he realized that the young master didn't care about the peach tree at all.

Yun Xiao was also stunned when he heard Han Yiyi's words. He didn't expect this woman to be so frank. It made him seem a little petty, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Even Manager Liu couldn't help but look at Han Yiyi carefully again after hearing what she said.

Han Yiyi had no idea what was going on in the minds of the three of them. After all, she hadn't intended to keep the pepper seeds in her hands ever since she took them out of the system. The key point was that you couldn't hold on to this thing, right? Unless you could take out all the seeds from all the peppers you sold, which wasn't realistic...

After pondering for a moment, Yun Xiao asked again.

"Now that the seed season has passed, Madam Han, you can plan to plant more seeds next year, or we can sign an agreement. How about you supply whatever you plant next year to my Yunlai Restaurant? As for the price, I want more. Madam Han, can you give me a cheaper price..."

When Han Yiyi heard Yun Xiao's words, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

"Seriously, how much can you ask for, sir..."

In fact, Han Yiyi has no land at all. Even if she plants peppers in front of and behind the house, there won't be much. If she is asked to open up wasteland, there is no way out.

But she thought that she could let Aunt Zhang and the village chief plant the crops together, or even let other villagers plant the crops together. In this way, she could make some profit from the difference, and everyone could also earn some pocket money together.

But if you ask why not let the villagers sell directly to the restaurant so that they can earn more money.

Han Yiyi asked herself if she had such a broad mind. Besides, she also had to make money to support herself and her two little ones. Oh, there was one more child now.

Moreover, she knew very well that in this world, no one would help others for no reason. Even if you did so, you might be profitable in the eyes of others. So why bother? It would be better to be an ordinary person with an open mind.
