The setting sun cast long shadows, and Qin He walked back carrying a shovel.

When passing by a collapsed house that looked like ruins, Qin He was attracted by a patch of green and red fruits.

The fruits are long and thin with pointed tips, some are red and some are half red and half green.

It turned out to be...chili pepper!

Qin He was overjoyed and walked over to take a look, and it was indeed chili peppers.

Scattered in an area that is obviously a small garden, with the broken walls as the background, it is particularly eye-catching.

Qin He rubbed his hands unconsciously. In his previous life, Qin He loved spicy food and could not live without spicy food for three meals a day.

Since I came to this world, I have missed it so much.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.

Needless to say, sugar is a luxury for rich people. Salt is equally expensive. Not to mention ordinary people, even restaurants are reluctant to put more salt in their food. Sour food is mostly a snack and not something ordinary people can eat often.

All that was left was bitterness. Qin He had eaten enough. Multi-grain steamed buns were bitter.

As for spicy.

Sorry, people in this time and space don’t eat spicy food at all.

Chili peppers have just been brought in from the other side of the ocean. They are ornamental plants. Their fruits are bright red and festive, but no one eats them yet.

Qin He thought he would never be able to taste the spicy food he missed the most, but he never expected to find a piece of it under a mass grave.

Looking around, Qin He had a rough guess in his mind.

Although the house is in ruins, judging from the traces, a fairly wealthy family once lived here, but for some unknown reason it fell into decline.

Chili peppers are grown for viewing by people living in houses. Ordinary people have a hard time surviving and it is impossible for them to grow this.

Later, the mass grave expanded and it became an unlucky place with packs of wild dogs and few people.

Then these peppers multiplied and grew into a field.

Although Qin He had no conditions to cook at the moment, he couldn't help but pick a large bag of peppers, took off his coat to wrap them up, and collected a lot of seeds from the peppers that fell on the ground.

There was no way. Qin He's mouth was watering when he thought of the various spicy recipes in his previous life.

If you can’t finish it in a short time, you can dry it and you will be able to eat it one day.

Qin He didn't stop until his coat could no longer hold him, and he walked back carrying the big bag.

It was still early when they returned to the crematorium. The crematorium workers were very curious about the big bag on Qin He's back. When they saw Qin He pouring the peppers into the bucket to wash them, they all gathered around.

"Brother Qin, what is this?" Liu Sanjin asked curiously, picking up a chili pepper.

"This is chili." Qin He grinned.

"chili?"

"What is it?"

"Have you heard of it?"

"Can I eat it?"

The cremators were talking at once.

"A bunch of firewood, and these are peppers. Come and see if you can plant them, sir." Old Liang said loudly.

Seeing that Old Liang was able to speak, everyone made way. Old Liang walked forward with his gray beard raised, picked up a chili pepper and said, "Look at the color. It's red, just like the festive color of the lantern. Rich gentlemen like to look at this thing."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Liu Sanjin asked Qin He, "Brother Qin, where did you get so much?"

"I picked it outside."

"Why pick so many?"

"This thing can be eaten and used for cooking."

"What, can I eat it?"

Liu Sanjin's eyes began to shine.

The crowd also started to get agitated. Although the people in the crematorium had enough food and clothing, they couldn't eat anything good either.

They were all bitter mixed-flour steamed buns, and at most a little salty but tooth-breaking sesame seed bun.

"Brother Qin, can I eat this pepper?"

Old Liang's skill was exposed, his beard fell off, and he looked surprised.

In the past, Old Liang would have slapped Qin He on the head and cursed, "You fool, peppers are for viewing, not for eating. They are poisonous."

But now Old Liang doesn't dare to do that, because Qin He is now the boss of the crematorium.

A tough guy who can't even kill the dead body.

"Yes, it's very spicy." Qin He nodded honestly.

"I'll try it."

Before Qin He could finish his words, Liu Sanjin hurriedly stuffed the chili pepper in his hand into his mouth.

Chewed it once, twice.

The next moment, Liu Sanjin vomited everything out with a "wow", opened his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

"Ah! Fire, fire, fire..."

"It's so hot, it's so hot!"

Liu Sanjin's yell scared everyone who was about to share the peppers so much that they hurriedly threw the peppers back into the bucket.

"You idiot, you can't eat bell peppers. Rinse your mouth with water."

When Old Liang saw this, his beard stood up again and his face was full of pride.

Liu Sanjin hurriedly rinsed his mouth with water, and half of his clothes were wet before he recovered.

When everyone saw it, they shook their heads and left.

Qin Ge'er is good at burning corpses, but his brain has never been very good.

Don't offend the officials, don't eat peppers, sleep more and don't go out too often.

These are all truths.

Messing around.

"Brother Qin, you can't eat bell peppers. You really can't eat them."

Liu Sanjin also left with his tongue hanging out, and before leaving he kindly gave Qin He some advice.

Qin He suddenly understood why chili peppers were no longer served on the table in this era.

First, this is indeed a new thing.

The second thing is the taste.

Chili peppers must be cooked with oil and at high temperature to reduce their spiciness. Steaming or boiling them will not work.

But in this era, ordinary people could not afford oil. It was more expensive than meat. One pound of fat meat refined into oil was equivalent to three pounds of lean meat.

If a family can add a drop of oil to the vegetables, it means they are well-off.

I feel bad about cooking with oil. I can’t afford it and I dare not even think about it.

Qin He washed the peppers, strung them together with a rope, and hung them next to the stove.

The heat from the stove can quickly dry the peppers.

It was almost dark when they finished their work, and the corpse-carrying convoy from the Dongcheng Bingmasi appeared at the door of the crematorium on time.

Twenty bodies in total.

There were eighteen crematorium workers, sixteen of them burned one body, and two burned two bodies.

When Gao Linkun and Li Tie learned the number, they looked at each other, and then looked at Ling Zhonghai at the same time.

The question in his eyes was almost written on his face. How should he give Qin He a score?

Or to put it more bluntly, do you still want to deal with Qin He?

"Tsk, why are you looking at me? Am I such a stingy person?" Ling Zhonghai was unhappy.

"Yes, yes, I am very generous. I am the most generous."

"Let's not argue with that stupid boy."

Gao Linkun and Li Tie hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Although I, Ling Zhonghai, am not a good person, I still follow the rules in everything. That stupid boy offended me, so I stuffed three corpses into his hands and we're even. We can divide the money however we want in the future. I will never make it difficult for him." Ling Zhonghai patted his chest and said.

"Great atmosphere." Gao Linkun gave a thumbs up.

"The boss is really generous." Li Tie also said, "Then give one to that stupid boy tonight, and the extra two to Li Quezi and Liu Sanjin."

"Follow the rules, one for each person, and the extra ones will be distributed to whoever deserves them." Ling Zhonghai nodded.

After deciding on the allocation method, the three of them instinctively looked towards Room 7 where Qin He was, and Qin He happened to walk out.

He ran towards the three of them and asked, "Sir, Master Xu didn't come again today?"

"The monthly holiday is two days, and he won't come until tomorrow." Li Tie said.

"Oh."

Qin He nodded, then opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ling Zhonghai, "Sir, please don't move!"

"Ah?" Ling Zhonghai was stunned.

Just when he was stunned, Qin He slapped him in the face like lightning.

The "pop" sound was loud and crisp.

Ling Zhonghai was stunned, Li Tie and Gao Linkun opened their mouths wide and did not react.

"mosquito."

Qin He smiled and slowly opened his palm, revealing a bloody dead mosquito.
