Shi Qingluo walked over and picked a few peppers.
"This is called pepper. It's not a fruit, it's a vegetable."
"It is mainly used to enhance the flavor of dishes."
"My master said that these were seeds he had collected during his travels."
“You can eat the chili peppers fresh, or you can dry them and make chili sauce.”
"It also has the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold, and promoting digestion and digestion."
"By the way, my master said that people who can handle spicy food will like it, but people who can't handle spicy food may not like it."
Hearing her say this, Mo Qingling and others were a little disappointed. They thought it was another good thing.
But they were content with the corn.
Liang Youxiao, a foodie, leaned over and asked, "What does this taste like?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "It will be very spicy if eaten raw, but it should be delicious if used in cooking."
"I'll pick a few and try them tomorrow."
Finally I can eat chili.
Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "That's a good idea."
He also took the initiative to help Shi Qingluo pick a few more all-red ones.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Qingling suggested leaving.
He also had to make arrangements to bring people to harvest the corn early tomorrow morning.
Mr. Hou didn't want to go back to the county town and decided to stay at Xiao Hanzheng's house tonight.
After he retired at an old age, he no longer had much desire for power and instead fell in love with eating.
I had a very pleasant meal at my little disciple's house tonight, and I want to try the flavor of this pepper again tomorrow.
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng did not go to the county town. As soon as they finished breakfast, Mo Qingling brought people from the county government to collect corn.
Mr. Hou, Liang Youxiao and others went to the Taoist temple together.
Because people heard that the old immortal appeared again yesterday, the number of people coming to burn incense today has doubled.
Many people were surprised to see the magistrate coming with his men.
"What is the purpose of this visit, Mr. Magistrate? Bringing people to burn incense?" This is unlikely.
"I heard that the old immortal appeared yesterday and gave a hint, and God has gifted good seeds to His Majesty and our Daliang."
"So today the magistrate brought people to collect the good seeds."
"Ah, is it true?" Why does the God-given good breed sound so mysterious?
Someone emphasized, "That must be true. I saw the old immortal appear with my own eyes yesterday."
"Let's go and see for ourselves."
So the people who were burning incense also went to the backyard to watch.
Mo Qingling did not stop him. He followed Shi Qingluo's instructions and had people break off the corn cobs.
He brought a dozen strong yamen runners with him, so it didn't take long to harvest one acre of corn.
Finally, I weighed it and it was over 1,200 kilograms.
When the weight came out, both Mo Qingling and Hou Lao showed excitement on their faces.
It’s really a high-yield grain!
The crowd watching cried out in surprise.
"What? One acre can produce such a high yield."
"Oh my god, I've been farming for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard of a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu."
"Can this corn really be used as food? If so, will we never go hungry again?"
“I don’t know if it tastes good or not.”
Hearing what these people said, Xi Rui said with a smile: "It's delicious. We tried it last night. It can indeed be used as food."
"Not only can it be boiled or steamed, it can also be used to make pancakes. After drying and grinding it into powder, it can also be used to make steamed buns and wowotou."
"I think baked corn tortillas are better than white flour ones."
He was tired of eating white flour bread.
Hearing Xi Rui's words, the people watching became excited.
I didn't doubt his words. This noble young man from the capital had eaten all the best things in the world. Since he said the corn was delicious, it must be delicious.
Besides, if it doesn’t taste good or can’t be used as food, how could County Magistrate Mo bring people to collect it?
They also wanted to taste this heaven-sent good seed! So they all looked at Xi Rui with envy and jealousy.
Xi Rui likes to be in the spotlight like this and especially enjoys everyone's envious and jealous looks.
Liang Youxiao was actually also preparing to show off, but Xi Rui got there first.
He rolled his eyes, walked over to Shi Qingluo and said, "Qingluo, how about we discuss something?"
Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "Give me some corn seeds."
Shi Qingluo thought to himself, this guy has indeed set his sights on the corn seeds.
She shrugged and said, "Now the corn has been handed over to the county government for collection. I can't make the decision on this."
What I mean is that if you want it, go find Mo Qingling.
She wanted to save some seeds for herself, but it was not easy to do it in public.
Liang Youxiao was quite thick-skinned, so he moved closer to Mo Qingling.
"Brother Ling, give me a few dozen kilograms of this corn after it's dried."
This is a God-given fine variety. It would be so proud if their farm could grow the first batch of this variety.
Mo Qingling glanced at him, "Do you think it's possible?"
It's still a few dozen kilograms, why don't you want a few hundred kilograms?
Xi Rui also turned the corner and came over, "Brother Ling, I think it's okay."
"This is more than a thousand kilograms. It's okay to give us a few dozen kilograms, right?"
This time even Fei Yuzhe couldn't help but come over and said, "Yeah, Brother Ling, please give us some."
If I had known, I would have asked Shi Qingluo for it yesterday.
Xi Rong didn't want it because she was not familiar with Mo Qingling.
Besides, her uncle was the emperor, so after the corn seeds were delivered to the capital, she could just ask her uncle for them.
Mo Qingling held his forehead and said with a headache: "I can't make the decision."
"How can you not make the decision? Brother Ling only has a few dozen kilograms of corn. Don't be so stingy!"
"That's right. I remember you used to be very generous, Brother Ling."
"Brother Ling, are we brothers? If we are, then give us some."
Mo Qingling: “…” Brothers, what? He isn’t that familiar with them, okay?
During the years when he was a playboy, these kids were still wearing open-crotch pants.
Several people kept harassing Mo Qingling.
He couldn't help but utter a word with a dark face, "Get lost!"
Seeing that Mo Qingling was adamant, Liang Youxiao and the others had no choice but to retreat and think of other solutions.
After a while, Liang Youxiao pulled Xi Rui aside and said, "You take the lead and go grab some corn. We can take it back to the yard to dry it, and then bring it back to the capital as seeds."
Xi Rui: “…” No wonder his father said that this bastard was full of bad ideas and always had bad intentions.
"Why should I take the lead in the robbery?"
Liang Youxiao said as a matter of course: "Because the Queen Mother is your great aunt, and the Emperor is your cousin, you took the lead in robbing, and you can go back and appease the Queen Mother and everything will be fine."
"We don't have a queen mother."
Fei Yuzhe had already walked over and said in agreement: "Yes, so it's better for you to take the lead."
Xi Rui: “…” What kind of worthless friends have he made.
But what he said made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
He said, "The emperor is Xi Rong's uncle, why don't you let her go?"
Liang Youxiao looked at him with a stupid look on his face, "Do I need to rob him? You can get a reward if you go back and appease His Majesty."
"Let's go and coax His Majesty. Do you think we might be rewarded?"
Xi Rui shook his head, "It's probably unlikely."
Liang Youxiao said in unison, "That's it."
Xi Rui thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
If the emperor blamed him, he would run to ask the Empress Dowager for help.
The three of them exchanged glances, and then took advantage of Mo Qingling's inattention.
Xi Rui rushed forward, grabbed a dozen corn cobs and ran away.
I don't want to grab dozens of kilograms, I'll just take whatever kilograms I can get.
Then Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe also rushed forward, each picked up a dozen corn cobs and ran away.
Mo Qingling's face darkened again when he saw this. When he saw the three people running away, he suddenly felt itchy in his hands.
But there's really nothing we can do about these people.
That's all I can do. I'll go back and talk to His Majesty about it.
However, His Majesty probably won't really punish these unruly little dandies.
So people were asked to keep a close eye on the remaining corn, and anyone who tried to grab it would be beaten with a stick.
