Nine hundred and sixtieth eight chapters are hard to guard against
Naturally, after the ministers received the peppers, they all wondered why the peppers were cut open. Of course, Lao Fu answered them one by one. This was all done by the prince consort for everyone's sake.
Many people lamented that Du He was not a very good person, but he still did a good job.
And Sikong Mansion.
Snapped.
Changsun Wuji threw the cup to the ground and roared angrily: "Bullshit, hum, Du He would be so kind, and he still expects me to be grateful to him. It's really unreasonable. He was clearly the one who ordered all the seeds of the pepper to be removed."
, As a result, even if others buy peppers from Huxian Farm at a high price, they will not be able to grow them, which is really heartbreaking!"
At the same time, chili peppers became a hot topic in Chang'an City.
Because everyone suddenly discovered that no matter how rich you are, how powerful you are, or how powerful you are, those who may be able to eat hot peppers are only the top people in the Tang Dynasty, and others are not qualified at all.
Of course, many people started a relationship and racked their brains to think of many ways, but they still went to the ministers' houses and had a meal.
After these people ate it, they naturally could not say anything bad about the chili pepper. They all said it was a miracle medicine. After taking it, their waists and legs no longer hurt, and they could run to Hu County without gasping for breath.
For a time, eating chili peppers became a status symbol.
…
Situ Mansion.
Wow.
The dinner plate on the table was smashed to the ground by Wang Gui.
The housekeeper and the servants all stood aside cautiously, not daring to express their anger.
Wang Gui stood up and said angrily: "Today's dish doesn't have chili pepper, it just tastes like wax. How did the cook make it? Why didn't he add chili pepper?"
The housekeeper said aggrievedly: "Sir, it's not that the cook didn't put in the chili peppers, it's because all the chili peppers have been eaten."
"oh……"
Wang Gui was stunned.
At first, Du He asked someone to bring ten kilograms of chili peppers.
Wang Gui was not used to eating it at first, but after eating two more meals, he couldn't live without it. He ate chili peppers for three meals a day. Ten kilograms of chili peppers was not enough for several days.
"Immediately send someone to the Huxian farm to find Du He. Tell him that I want to eat chili peppers and ask him to sell some to me. The price is not a problem..." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Wang Gui's mouth.
The housekeeper said cautiously: "Sir, people from Dream Group came here early this morning and sent some flyers, saying they wanted us to take a look when we are free."
Wang Gui asked: "Flyers? What do they mean?"
The housekeeper explained: "It was just a piece of paper with something like chili sales on it. I saw that it was of no use, so I just threw it away!"
Snapped.
Wang Gui frowned and said angrily: "You bastard, why don't you hurry up and get it for me to take a look at!"
The housekeeper hurriedly took his servants to search for it. After a short time, the flyer was found and sent to Wang Gui.
I saw that it was a piece of high-quality paper with several red peppers in the middle. The painting was lifelike and vivid. There was a line on the ground: Huxian Farm sells one hundred catties of peppers to the outside world every day, and the price is one hundred pounds per catty.
First come first served.
Wang Gui couldn't laugh or cry: "I have long said that Du He, how could he give away chili peppers for free... In the past, no one had eaten chili peppers, and at the sky-high price of a hundred pounds per catty, no one might be willing to buy it. Now, like me,
There are certainly many such people, we... have all fallen into Du He's scheme, this guy is really hard to guard against!"
The housekeeper asked curiously: "Master, then..."
"Well, why don't you send someone to buy peppers quickly? If you get there late, they will be gone!"
"yes!"
The entire Situ Mansion suddenly became busy.
Sikong Mansion.
Zhang Mansion.
Chen Mansion.
Li Mansion.
Similar things happened.
the same day.
Li Chengqian, the director of the Huxian Farm Research Institute, sold out one hundred kilograms of peppers for the day. When he looked at the boxes at his feet filled with Kaiyuan Tongbao, he suddenly smiled like a fool.
…
At dusk.
Chang'an City.
Outside Yongning Gate, a carriage came.
The carriage was in tatters, and even the curtains had several big holes.
The driver who drove the carriage was old and weak.
"Miss, we have arrived at Chang'an City!" the coachman cheered up and shouted.
A voice like a silver bell came from the carriage: "Oh!"
The driver thought for a moment, what does this mean?
Then he drove the carriage into Yongning Gate and continued walking forward.
When he saw the straight and wide People's Avenue, the coachman rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep: "It's so big..."
Having come all the way, he has seen majestic mountains, majestic rivers, and shocking cities, but he has never seen such a strange road.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
A group of people entered the city gate and rushed here quickly.
Among the crowd, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in rich clothes and jade, was surrounded by knights.
The knight in front raised his whip and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way..."
"Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
"Hurry and make way for Mr. Gao!"
When the people on the People's Avenue heard this, their expressions changed and they all fled away.
Those who could not escape were whipped several times by the knights on the spot.
But everyone is suffering and dare not speak out.
Seeing it, a group of men and horses were about to run into the broken carriage.
The coachman slapped the horse's butt hard several times and shouted, "Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive", but the old horse, which was covered in dust, exhausted all his strength, could not take two steps forward.
boom.
The three horses in front of the knights collided with the carriage, making a loud noise, and the carriage rolled twice on the ground. The three horses also fell to the ground, and several knights were bruised and bruised.
The knights were furious, stopped one after another, dismounted, and surrounded him.
Just as the carriage tipped over, a small figure jumped out and landed in the crowd.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this was a little girl of about five or six years old.
Wearing a long goose-yellow dress that looked messy and dirty, she had a round face, as if she had been bathed in fine goat's milk, and her two big eyes were alert and full of energy.
The little girl looked angrily at a group of knights.
But those knights walked over, caught the driver, and started beating him face to face, "You old man, you dare to block Mr. Gao's way. You are really impatient, beat him to death... and this kid,
Huh, maybe we are in a group and fight together!"
As he said this, several people rushed over to beat the little girl.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
The knights turned around and saw Mr. Gao opening his fan and stomping over, but his eyes were fixed on the girl without blinking.
"Tsk, tsk, what a beautiful little girl, tell me brother, how old are you this year?" Mr. Gao saw that the little girl had an outstanding appearance, just like a fairy from heaven descending to earth. He immediately had evil thoughts and reached out to touch the little girl's face.
cheek.
Snapped.
His dirty hands were opened by the girl.
The little girl replied seriously with two words: "Disgusting!"
