Chapter 51 Potatoes and Peppers
"Why is this person so obsessed with potatoes?" Hua Mian was a little confused, but it was also thanks to potatoes. Yesterday, he was the only one who found out that he had used potatoes. Maybe it was thanks to this that he passed the test.
Yang Gu held the potato flowers in his hands, as if he was thinking about something. After walking for a long time, he said, "Although potato is still an expensive food, this plant has no land restrictions and is very good for cultivation. One day, it will definitely become a popular food for ordinary people."
Ingredients that are accessible to you. There have been disasters in your hometown. You should have seen that food will become a huge resistance in the face of disasters. If potato can be promoted one day, I believe it can solve the problem of feeding the victims."
This was the first time Hua Mian heard Yang Gu say so many words. She didn't expect that he thought so much, although it seemed that the things he considered were beyond the scope of ordinary chefs.
Before, I just regarded him as an ordinary chef with a bad temper who liked to bully his colleagues. After listening to his explanations about various ingredients in the market today, I felt that he was actually not a bad person. Maybe it was just compared to others.
Others have more of their own personality.
It was approaching noon, the sun had risen to its highest point, and the weather was getting a little hot. The carriage was on its way back home. Hua Mian took out a solar power bank from her clothes and hung it on the outside of her wrist to charge. Yang Gu stopped shouting.
He tapped the horse's back repeatedly.
The carriage entered Sikong Mansion from the west gate. Hua Mian said that she wanted to go directly back to the maid dining hall to check on the lunch situation. Since she was out today, the menu and recipes were all prepared last night and handed over to Sister Liu, so she was still a little worried.
After hearing her reasons, Yang Gu waved his hand to indicate that she could go back today and just go to the purchasing place to return the car. After saying goodbye to Yang Gu, Hua Mian walked quickly to the backyard.
I was in a hurry the past few days and didn't have much time to pay attention. Today I had some free time and walked around the central garden. I saw that summer flowers had begun to be cultivated in the garden. It was different from when General Zhenbei came back. It was already approaching the end of spring.
Various plants and flowers were in full bloom. Manager Wu of the garden found some novel plants from somewhere and placed them on the flower stand, exuding their own unique fragrance. Hua Mian couldn't help but take a few deep breaths while walking around.
Suddenly, his eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of something. Although it passed by briefly, the plant's special shape and bright color instantly attracted Hua Mian's attention.
Hua Mian rushed to the potted plant as fast as she could chase a bus, "Chili?? It's actually chili!!!" She broke off a small red fruit from a corner that was not easily noticed and placed it on it.
Biting the tip of her mouth, the spiciness that stimulates the taste spreads in her mouth. The familiar taste makes Hua Mian a little excited. She has already imagined many spicy delicacies in her mind. As long as there are peppers, she can double the existing menu.
.
Since the pot of chili peppers was placed on the flower stand, it meant that it was under the management of Manager Wu. Without any hesitation, Hua Mian picked up the flower pot with the chili peppers and ran to the small yard on the side of the garden.
In this room, Manager Wu was leading a few workers to tidy up the saplings. When he looked up, he saw a panting maid rushing in from the courtyard door. He asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with Miss Huamian?"
"Uncle Wu, this" Hua Mian handed the flowerpot in her arms to Manager Wu, "I found this pot of chili peppers in the garden and wanted to come over and ask if there are any more."
"Chili pepper?" Manager Wu handed the sapling in his hand to the worker on the side. "This one was brought by the caravan when it came back. It was called Red Corner. I originally thought it was some novel flower planted to honor the eldest lady.
