The young woman took a look and said with a smile, "This thing is not produced in our Central Plains. Since you want to see it, come and have a look." After that, she led Su Nuannuan and Duan Tingxuan out, came to the green seedlings, and said with a smile, "This is what my husband brought back. He said it was called flame pepper, which was produced in the extreme west, the kind of place that takes eight or nine months to get to on the sea. He only went there once, and he didn't bring anything else back, only this. He said that although it was very uncomfortable to eat, it could keep the body warm, so he asked my mother-in-law and I to put some in the dishes every winter. But my mother-in-law and I really couldn't stand the taste, so we didn't listen to him. When there was no such thing in the past, we didn't freeze to death. But my husband likes this taste. He always brings some with him when he goes out to sea every year. He said that if it gets cold when drifting on the sea, eating it can keep warm. That's why I planted these plants. I don't see this thing on the market, so it's normal for my wife to say that she has never seen it."
Su Nuannuan was so excited that tears came out: chili peppers, she had been thinking about chili peppers for more than a year. She hadn't tasted this flavor since she returned to ancient times. Now it finally appeared, how could she not be so excited that she burst into tears.
The young woman saw her eyes full of tears and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you squat too close to him? Did it make you cry? I usually don't care about it, but I didn't know Lian Miao was so domineering. Let's leave here and go home and sit down."
Su Nuannuan stood up and nodded, "So it's the seedlings of the flame pepper. You don't know about this thing, but it's actually very delicious. I wonder if you have any ready-made ones at home. If you do, how about selling some to me?"
The young woman and the old woman were stunned. They didn't expect that someone would buy such a disgusting thing. Yin smiled and said, "There are still two or three pounds. After drying, string them together with a rope. They will look good when hung. If you like them, I will give them all to you. Anyway, my mother-in-law and I won't eat them."
After saying that, he went into the inner room, and soon came out carrying two large bunches of dried red peppers. He handed them to Su Nuannuan and said with a smile, "These were picked last year. Take them all, ma'am."
Su Nuannuan was so excited that she couldn't speak. She could only nod repeatedly: This is it. The pointed pepper she had been thinking about for more than a year, in this era. There are no super spicy peppers like the devil pepper and the infinite pepper, this kind of pepper should be very spicy. She stretched out her hand to pluck a pepper, not caring that it was in front of others, and couldn't wait to break a piece. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, the next moment. She saw the young marquis move like lightning, and also picked a pepper at lightning speed and put it in his mouth, chewing it hard.
In an instant, Su Nuannuan's mind went blank. For the tragedy that was about to unfold, oh, not a tragedy. It was simply a tragedy that was unbearable to watch. Duan Tingxuan, who had always been fearless, only chewed two bites of the chili pepper. His expression fell into a state of stiffness as if he was struck by lightning. Then, the poor little marquis exploded. He first spit out all the chili peppers in his mouth with all his strength, and even reached into his mouth without regard for decency. This was the rhythm of not wanting to leave even a little residue. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he wanted to pull out even his tongue.
"Drink water quickly."
It wasn't that Su Nuannuan was malicious and wanted to make fun of the young marquis, it was just that the guy was too quick, and by the time Su Nuannuan reacted, he had already chewed twice. As a result, he suffered a great punishment this time, but the young woman, in a panic, actually handed over a cup of hot tea, and the young marquis had already drunk the hot tea at one gulp when Su Nuannuan shouted "no hot water", and the end can be imagined, he coughed and vomited like a pineapple in the wind, not to mention the mess.
So, sometimes being fast as lightning is not a good thing. Duan Tingxuan is a living example. If he hadn't been so fast, he wouldn't have suffered so much. After finally calming down, the young marquis moved his tongue with tears in his eyes, but he only felt numb and spicy. His tongue had lost all feeling. Not to mention his tongue, his whole mouth still felt a burning and spicy feeling. The young marquis was very worried. He didn't know if other than the upper and lower rows of teeth, other parts of his mouth had become bald.
“Hahaha…” Seeing her husband’s miserable appearance of being “ravaged”, Su Nuannuan suddenly laughed while holding her stomach, which immediately attracted the young marquis’s resentful gaze: “Wife, I’m like this, and you’re still laughing, do you have a conscience?”
"You deserve it. You came to grab it so quickly without asking clearly. The lady just said that it's very uncomfortable to eat this thing." Su Nuannuan managed to hold back her laughter and handed over a handkerchief: "Okay, wipe your tears. Really, if someone sees it, they will think I bullied you and made you cry."
"Why would I cry? What a joke, I just can't stop crying." Duan Tingxuan wiped away his tears with a handkerchief in frustration, pointed at the string of red peppers and said with gritted teeth: "What on earth is this? It's too evil, I still can't feel it in my mouth, it's worse than Sichuan peppercorns. Bah! It looks so beautiful and lovely, but who knew it was actually rotten inside. I really don't understand why you treat such a disgusting thing as a treasure and even specifically ask people to find it."
"Who told you to eat one? I tell you, this is a really good thing. You will know its benefits in the future." Based on Su Nuannuan's understanding of the tastes of the Duan family and the Indians, this chili pepper will be popular in the future. If you don't believe it, just look at the annual production and trading volume of mustard and Sichuan pepper. In fact, mustard and Sichuan pepper have their own shortcomings. Only chili peppers are authentic and spicy.
"And in the future?"
Duan Tingxuan had a frightened expression on his face: "Come on, just this moment is the worst suffering I have ever endured since I was born. And what about the future? Do you think I am such a forgetful person?" The young marquis rolled his eyes at La Jiao, expressing his contempt and rejection.
"Don't be so hasty to draw a line, or you'll end up eating your words." Su Nuannuan smiled, then picked up the bunch of peppers, took out two taels of silver from her bosom, and said to the young woman, "If you really don't want to eat them, I'll take them away. Do I need to leave a few for you to use as seeds?"
The young woman smiled and said, "Aren't there still a few in the yard? They produce a lot of fruits. Don't underestimate those few seedlings. By the end of July, they will produce a bunch of fruits again." After that, she handed the silver on the table to Su Nuannuan and said seriously, "My mother-in-law was injured. Fortunately, you two rescued her. We haven't thanked you yet. How can you accept money for such a small thing? You really look down on us."
