He said he wanted Mingxiu to try it himself, but Ming's father was not willing to give her the meat to Huo Huo. He felt relieved when he saw that what she got was wild vegetables.

At the dinner table, Ming's father and Ming's mother looked at the plate of wild vegetables with a generous look on their faces. It was neither a matter of taking down the chopsticks nor a sign of failure.

Mingxiu put a lot of oil in it, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat it?

However, Xie Zhan didn't know the secret inside. Seeing Mingxiu eating it happily, he also tasted it.

"Is there any dogwood in here?"

It's hard to tell that the Ming family was willing to buy dogwood.

Cornus officinalis was very expensive at this time. One tael was worth more than ten cents. Although it was nothing to Xie Zhan, it was more expensive than salt.

Moreover, Cornus officinalis is just an ingredient, so it’s okay even if you don’t eat it.

Only some people from well-off families are willing to buy dogwood.

Mingxiu shook his head, "It's not dogwood, it's the seasoning I found in the mountains. My father said eating it will make your mouth hurt."

"It's not bad. It tastes better than dogwood." Xie Zhan was noncommittal. Although Ming's father said it was poisonous, he didn't feel any discomfort after eating it for so long. His mouth hurt a little, but that was also the taste of this condiment.

.

Isn’t ginger and garlic a little spicy when eaten raw?

Seeing the two of them eating happily, Ming's father felt a little doubtful about the impression in his mind, so he took a small chopstick.

The entrance is eye-catching.

"It turns out that this thing is not poisonous. It really needs to be cooked before it can be eaten."

Ming's mother had stopped eating for a long time. She liked the taste very much. It was really addictive.

"It's not poisonous if eaten raw. It's just a little spicy that most people can't tolerate. Just like no one eats ginger and garlic raw, right?"

It is true that there are ruthless people who can eat raw ginger and garlic, but they are in the minority after all. Just like Mingxiu herself, if it is used as seasoning, it is okay, but if she really wants to eat it, she will refuse it.

"Does this thing have seeds? How to plant it?"

Compared to Ming's father, Xie Zhan obviously thought more.

This thing tastes better than dogwood, and it also makes the body hot. The desert country is to the north, and the northern border is really a country of ice and snow. If the military stationed there all year round had this thing, their lives would be slightly better.

At least people won't freeze to death every year.

If it can be planted in large quantities, it will be a good thing for the country and the people.

Mingxiu glanced at him and said, "This is the seed." She pulled out the pepper seeds and showed them to him, "It's not difficult to plant them, but everyone thinks they are poisonous. I think it would be difficult to promote them."

She could also see that Xie Zhan had an extraordinary background, but a down-and-out phoenix was worse than a chicken. Now Xie Zhan was just staying at her house, and people in the village regarded him as a beggar. Under such circumstances, even if he found something good, there was nothing he could do.

What's more, Mingxiu has no thoughts about serving the country and the people. For her, it is very good to make her family's life easier. As for the interests of the family and the country, she should wait until her family has enough food and clothing to consider.

Seeing Mingxiu's thoughts, Xie Zhan raised his eyebrows, "You found this thing, what are you going to do with it?"

"Getting rich, what else can I do?" Mingxiu was dumbfounded. Could it be that Xie Zhan thought that she would use this to benefit someone?

With Mingxiu's mind, it would be great if he could benefit himself even if he has no spare energy.

"If this thing is promoted, I'm afraid the profit will be huge." Xie Zhan's eyes were heavy, "Will your family really be able to hold on to it by then?"

"It's just a seasoning, how can it be so powerful?"

Mingxiu didn't take it seriously. Would those powerful people be tempted by this little condiment?

I don't think so.

"If it's just an ordinary seasoning, it won't be a problem, but have you ever thought about it? The desert is in the north. In winter, it is dominated by ice and snow. How many people freeze to death every year? If there is this thing, how many people will freeze to death?

It can be greatly reduced, let alone the soldiers in the north."

This is not just a condiment, if it works well, it can even be a great achievement.

Mingxiu was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect to go there.

"Do you think the powerful people will turn a blind eye to this? There are many people with this vision. No matter how far away it is, let's talk about nearby ones. Once this thing comes out, the local county magistrate will not turn a blind eye as long as he is not stupid. When the time comes, you

How are you doing?"

It would be fine if the county magistrate made a nice request, but what if someone wanted to rob it?

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if Mingxiu is wronged, she can only endure it!

I'm afraid that the county magistrate wants to eradicate the problem and take the credit on himself, and then the Ming family will be nothing more than fish on the chopping board!

Ming's father and Ming's mother were startled. They never thought that the condiment their daughter accidentally discovered could cause so many disputes and dangers.

"...Xiu'er, our family can live well just by farming, so let's forget about this business."

Before it even started, Ming's father and Ming's mother were already thinking about retreating.

Mingxiu was a little unwilling to accept it. She couldn't stand it as she watched the poor people leave her without having to worry about food and clothing.

"You guessed the ending before it even started? What if you are just a villain?" The county magistrate may not be moved by the little pepper. How can those powerful people take this to heart?

Spending the winter with peppers? It’s simply whimsical!

The person who knows the most about chili peppers is Mingxiu. It is true that this pepper can cause fever, but if you want to survive the winter, it is still true. It can only be used as an emergency, and it is not that useful...

"Even if it can just save someone in an emergency, it's still a great achievement!" Xie Zhan felt a little suffocated when he saw that she didn't believe it. He wanted to stand by and watch, but he couldn't find a more suitable place to stay in a short time, and if the Ming family was investigated,

, he can't escape either.

The two sides are now considered to be grasshoppers on a rope.

"If you really start it, it will be difficult to stop it."

Xie Zhan looked at her condescendingly, "If I were you, I would find a way to throw this hot potato out and get enough benefits for my family to eat and clothe themselves."
