"So is this red fruit Guoguo?"
Su Ningjie took out the tomato and looked at it carefully.
Xiao Lingyu curled his lips slightly, "This is a tomato, and this is a chili pepper. The green one is a hot pepper, and their seeds were all found in Wufeng Mountain. They can all be used to stir-fry."
Su Ningjie said, "Mom, this tomato fruit looks like fruit. Can it be eaten raw?"
"Sure, you can eat it after washing it. Each of you take a tomato, wash it and taste it. With the remaining tomatoes, I'll make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
The two brothers washed the tomatoes and took a bite.
Su Ning'an's eyes flashed with surprise, "Mom, this tomato is delicious, I want to eat another one."
"Then have another one."
Su Ningjie stopped her and said, "Mom, this tomato is not common. We haven't seen it in the village. We have to eat it sparingly."
Xiao Lingyu, busy cooking, replied, "Don't we have its seeds? Plant them in the garden and eat them every day."
"Oh, then my brother and I will go plant it now."
"Wait, let's plant it together after dinner."
"Oh, mother, this red tip is not sweet, it's so spicy that it hurts my ears."
Xiao Lingyu and Su Ningjie looked over and saw Su Ning'an holding a half-bitten chili pepper, breathing heavily with his mouth open, his ears red, tears streaming from his eyes due to the pain, looking like a naughty child who had been wronged.
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands."
Xiao Lingyu spoke out in time to stop him, took the half chili pepper from his hand, scooped a bowl of mountain spring water from the basin, and gave it to him to drink.
"Boss, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Lingyu introduced them to the two brothers: "They are called chili peppers. The red ones are chili peppers, and the green ones are green peppers. Chili peppers, like onions, ginger, and garlic, are seasonings used in cooking. They are spicy, and the taste is a bit more stimulating than onions, ginger, and garlic, but cooking with chili peppers is very delicious."
Su Ningjie scratched his head and said, "Mom, you know a lot."
Xiao Lingyu patted Su Ningjie's head and said, "Mother has read many books, and this is all mentioned in the books. However, we don't have peppers in Beiyi yet. They only grow in the deep mountains, and few people know about them, so naturally no one would plant them."
Su Ningjie was a little excited when he heard this. "Mom, if I can grow these tomatoes, chili peppers, and green peppers, can I exchange them for money?"
"Of course you can, but wait until we grow the seeds. Once the water boils, I'll go stew some pork ribs for you. Go out and play."
"Big brother, second brother, you came at the right time. Hurry up and circle the three wild rabbits, otherwise they will hit my butt again."
Su Ning'an recalled the scene today when Xiao Xi'er was knocked down by a wild rabbit, and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, big brother will help you circle them, as well as the three pheasants."
At this time, the three pheasants had already woken up. When they saw Su Ning'an enter the backyard, they squatted in the corner, worried that they would be knocked unconscious by him again.
"Big brother, please build a nest for the goat. She's about to give birth."
"Okay, second brother, follow me."
Su Ningjie stared at the potato and sweet potato seedlings in the vegetable garden with a puzzled look on his face. "Brother, have you noticed that the potato and sweet potato seedlings seem to have grown taller?"
Su Ning'an glanced at the vegetable patch and said, "Second brother, this is what it looked like when I planted it before noon. Come with me and get some wood to make a fence."
For dinner, Xiao Lingyu used the base's mountain spring water to stew a pot of Panax notoginseng pork ribs soup, a plate of braised pork ribs, a plate of stir-fried pork liver with chili peppers, and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"Children, come and eat."
Su Ning'an heard Xiao Lingyu's call and quickly rushed over from the backyard with his younger brother and sister.
Seeing that each dish was divided into two portions, Su Ningan asked, "Mom, can I eat one of these dishes myself?"
"Yes, mother said that you should all eat your fill."
Su Ning'an originally thought that he could only eat lunch once, but he didn't expect that with his mother, he could eat his fill every meal.
"Thank you, mother."
"By the way, Mommy doesn't know if you can handle spicy food. This pork liver is fried with two kinds of chili peppers. You can take a small bite to see if you can handle spicy food."
Xiao Lingyu turned to Xiao Xier and said, "Xiao Xier, wait a moment, mother will come to feed you."
"Mom, I can eat by myself."
Xiao Lingyu poured a large bowl of Panax notoginseng pork ribs soup and handed it to Su Xingyi, "Su Xingyi, this is Panax notoginseng pork ribs soup, it's considered a medicinal food. You should drink more, it's good for your body."
Su Xingyi took the Panax notoginseng pork rib soup and looked at Xiao Lingyu with his empty eyes. "Thank you, Miss Xiao. You must never go to Wufeng Mountain again. It's very dangerous."
Her nominal husband is quite caring.
"Don't worry, I'll bring the boss with me next time I go, but I only go there occasionally. After all, you can dig up rare medicinal herbs and ingredients there. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to drink this bowl of Panax notoginseng pork rib soup. Come and try it and see if it tastes good."
Su Xingyi didn't ask her why she knew about medicinal herbs and rare ingredients.
As a young lady from the capital, she was naturally literate and knew a lot.
Su Xingyi took a big sip and said, "It's delicious."
Xiao Lingyu picked up a piece of pork liver and handed it to him. "This is fried with a rare ingredient, chili peppers. See if you can handle this spicy taste."
Su Xingyi couldn't see what the pepper looked like, but it smelled delicious, so he subconsciously opened his mouth.
Xiao Lingyu saw that Su Xingyi chewed rhythmically and it seemed that he could handle spicy food.
Su Xingyi only heard: "Miss Xiao, is there anything else?"
"Dad, eat more if you like."
Su Ningjie poured most of the pork liver and a small portion of tomato and egg into the rice and stuffed it into Su Xingyi's pocket.
