Mingxiu was speechless. She was just a small commoner. She didn't understand these things, let alone the balance of superiors. She only knew that people would die in war. The first to die, apart from the soldiers on the front line, were those from the border towns.

The common people.

"If everyone has no food but my family does, how can my family be safe?"

She can't control everyone, she just wants to protect her own family.

"That's why I said to close the door tightly and try not to let others discover that you are collecting grain."

As long as no one discovers that the Ming family has stored food, the Ming family may be able to escape disaster when things actually happen.

Mingxiu pursed her lips slightly. She shouldn't have believed Xie Zhan's words. Whether there was a war or not was a matter of course. If there was to be a war, logically speaking, apart from the capital, the border towns would be the first to be under martial law. Now they go there every day.

No increase in guards was found in the town.

But when she met Xie Zhan's eyes, the original determination in her heart was shaken involuntarily.

"Whether what I said is true or not, it is a good thing to have more food at home." Xie Zhan said.

Mingxiu agreed, "Then buy a little bit first."

It's just that if this happens, the family's money will no longer be available.

Although she makes money quickly, she cannot afford to spend it even faster.

"Now that you are in the capital, apart from the method of nourishing the soil, do you know anything about the chili pepper?"

"I have given it away, but this way, your family will lose a lot of money." Xie Zhan was a little embarrassed. He even planned that if Mingxiu was really unhappy, he would first give Mingxiu his filial money.

Although Qianliang looks like a lot, it is not worth mentioning to Xie Zhan.

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't get into trouble." Mingxiu nodded slightly. What happened after meeting Zhao Qiao made her realize that carrying a jade is a very dangerous thing. Even if it is a pity to lose money, the safety of her own family is more important.

The most important thing.

"You are a smart man. Although I gave away the recipe for chili peppers, you can gradually start a chili pepper business. All you have to say to the outside world is that you share the chili pepper seeds and planting methods with the merchants in Yidu City."

This would fit in perfectly with his plan. Even if someone got suspicious, they wouldn't go all the way to the border town to cause trouble for Mingxiu.

"I see."

If this is the case, then their family has an additional spice that others do not have, and also has a greater source of money.

Although the peppers were delicious, no one had ever been exposed to them at this time. Mingxiu thought that the early demand was not large. She calculated that the ones she grew at home would be enough for early use. When the peppers developed later, the peppers in their pepper fields would be enough.

It's also mature and just ready to be picked up.

"What's this new thing?"

Shopkeeper Xu heard that Mingxiu had brought new goodies, and he quickly went to the back to greet him personally.

He looked at the red clusters on the car and felt happy.

He had been told by various sources in the past that everything Mingxiu brought was good, so he did not doubt that it was inedible.

"Is this fresh fruit?"

As he said this, shopkeeper Xu picked up one and wiped it on his body.

"Why……"

Mingxiu stretched out Erkang's hand, but in the end she still couldn't stop him in time.

It’s really hard to eat chili pepper without tasting the taste of it...

It's so fierce.

"Hey... what is this?" Shopkeeper Xu's face turned red from the heat, "Why does my mouth hurt so much?"

Is this thing poisonous?

He looked at Mingxiu suspiciously, she had never made such a mistake before!

Mingxiu said helplessly, "This is a condiment, not something to eat directly."

There were fierce people who ate raw chili peppers in her previous life, but in this life she had only seen one, Shopkeeper Xu.

"This...how do I use this?"

Condiments like never seen before...

Shopkeeper Xu keenly discovered the business opportunities, but he didn't know how to use them.

He looked at Mingxiu expectantly, wanting her to answer his questions.

As for whether Mingxiu would lie to him, Shopkeeper Xu had no idea. Not only was Mingxiu his God of Wealth, but he was also Mingxiu's.

The two parties have signed a contract. Since Mingxiu brought this thing, it can be eaten.

Regardless of whether it's delicious or not, Xianxiang Restaurant is unique. Based on this alone, Shopkeeper Xu is confident that Xianxiang Restaurant will become the largest restaurant in town that no one can compare with.

As for whether it can become the number one restaurant in the border town, it depends on how it tastes.

"Borrow the kitchen."

Shopkeeper Xu directly vacated a stove room for Mingxiu to use. Apart from him and Xie Zhan, there was only a woman who was cooking the fire.

Time was limited, so Mingxiu didn't think of making any fresh dishes. Seeing that there were chopped chicken pieces in the kitchen, she directly stir-fried spicy chicken.

"Try it."

In her previous life, she lived alone and loved to eat. In addition to spending her energy on work and study, most of her rest time was spent in the kitchen. Naturally, her craftsmanship was better than that of ordinary people.

It's still a long way from being compared to serious chefs, but that doesn't matter, the seasonings are rare, and her way of handling ingredients is different from the chefs at that time, so the taste is naturally different.

same.

Shopkeeper Xu opened the door with chopsticks and his eyes lit up.

This is good stuff, really good stuff.

But the chef in their restaurant may not be able to cook such good food. He looked at Mingxiu with bright eyes.

"Do you want to sell this recipe?"

The various dishes at this time are mainly fresh and light, and the spicy chicken is even more amazing, making people want to stop.

"This..." Mingxiu was a little at a loss, "I'm here to sell ingredients."

She's not a great chef, so why let her sell recipes?

This is why Mingxiu overestimated the chef and shopkeeper Xu at this time. In her opinion, shopkeeper Xu has been running the restaurant for many years. He saw the production process of this dish which is not very complicated, and also tasted the taste.

Only if you have a good track record, there is absolutely no need to buy from her.

But she didn't know that this was a time when every recipe could become a family heirloom.

What's more, although the way in which ingredients are processed in later generations remains the same, these subtle differences can already make huge changes in the taste.

With Shopkeeper Xu's shrewdness, if he could easily research the recipe himself, he wouldn't ask Mingxiu for help.

"Don't worry, I won't lose you the price." Shopkeeper Xu looked serious. He was really optimistic about this recipe. "I bought this recipe for fifty taels. From now on, this kind of pepper will cost fifty cents per pound."

How about the purchase price?”

Although fifty cents per catty is high, it is obvious that the usage rate of peppers is not high at this time, and the peppers are not weighed on the scale, so one catty can be used for a long time. In the end, shopkeeper Xu is not at a loss.

What surprised Mingxiu was the price he offered for the recipe.

She pursed her lips slightly, "The recipe can be sold, but these fifty taels..." Isn't it a bit too high?
