"What are you looking for?" The old man and Wang Tong were stunned and did not react.
Wang Yan said excitedly: "Do you still remember that when I went to sea, I took the Lord's album to look for things, including potatoes, corn, sugarcane, and peppers... Later, someone said that I had seen peppers, but I couldn't remember where they were. I had to give up at that time and said that he would come to us after he remembered them. That person was him..." As he said that, Wang Yan grabbed the tall and thin person beside him and dragged them in front of him.
"Okay, he never showed up again. There are so many things in our Wang family, and I forgot about this!" Wang Yan continued: "Just just now, someone came to tell me that someone asked us everywhere on the dock, so I went down to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was him. His bag was full of the peppers that the Lord was looking for!"
"Oh!" After Wang Yan's explanation, Wang Tong remembered that he had mentioned this to Jiang Xingchen back then. The old man swallowed his saliva, and he had heard Jiang Xingchen talk about peppers for a long time.
"Since you have found the pepper, why don't you look for us?" Wang Tong asked to the tall and thin person.
The man's tears came down, his expression was excited, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even speak.
At that time, he saw Wang Yan so urgently looking for peppers, and thought it was a very valuable thing, so he didn't say where it came from. He went out with the fleet and found it on an unknown island in C☆. Since it was a good thing, of course he had to get it first and then sell it for a good price. Tell you what happened to me in the location!
But the island was very far away, located in a deeper and wider sea area, and few people usually ran there. He waited for two years before he had the opportunity to board a fleet that went there, spending almost all his savings at that time.
But when he went through a lot of hardships to bring the pepper back, he found that he could not find the Wang family's fleet. He wanted to go to Linhai City, but heard that the Wang family had been destroyed by Heilang!
At that time, this man was really crying and he didn't expect this result even though he was beaten to death. He spent so much effort to spend all his savings. He didn't look for a job for several years, but the things he got were made into decorations.
In desperation, he could only sell it to the outside world. The Wang family thought it was a good thing, so others should know the goods. Even if they couldn't sell it at a high price, they could at least live a life by themselves first. At that time, he could hardly even eat.
But then there was another blow. No one recognized this thing at all, and people dared not taste the bright red color. He licked it with a nervous lick, which made him jump straight and poured a whole basin of water, thinking that he was going to be poisoned to death.
Although he was still alive after the spicy food, he cried so hard that no one wanted this thing to sell as a poison. It was so stimulating that anyone could taste it and it would be poisoned to death.
He couldn't sell it for money and had no food to eat. He could only find a job again. But the sailor wanted all the strong ones. During those days, he was extremely weak. Which fleet wanted him?
That's it. He can only do some scattered work and can barely survive. The reason why he is so thin now is that he has been hungry these few months.
I heard rumors about the Wang family two days ago. He was so happy that he went back and took the pack of peppers that he thought were poison and ran to the dock. He looked forward to the arrival of the Wang family fleet every day.
But then there was another bolt from the blue. Everyone said that the Wang family fleet had not come to Xinti Island at all. He had already returned to Linhai City. He almost collapsed after hearing this news. Where did he get the money to chase Linhai City now?
Then he heard that there were two Wang's fleets, and one of them had not returned, so he hoped to rekindle and ran to the dock again to inquire about whether the Wang's fleet was coming every day.
Now he was finally discovered by Wang Yan and brought to the ship. After so much suffering, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
The old man and Wang Tong looked at each other. We didn’t want your things in vain. Why are you crying?
"Okay, stop crying! Give me this pack of chili peppers..." Old Master Wang Tong waved his hand, turned his head to Wang Yan and said, "Give him ten Yuan stones!"
"Ten Yuan stones?" The man stopped tears and couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, ten Yuan stones were sold for a large price. Ten Yuan stones were enough for him to have been beautiful for ten years, and it was worth the punishment for several months. He originally wanted three Yuan stones, and was ready to pay the price, but he didn't expect that he would give ten of them open his mouth.
"You have found the peppers where you found them. You shouldn't remember this time, right?" Mr. Wang Tong asked after this man took Yuanshi.
"This...that sea area is really unfamiliar, and I happened to be a coincidence this time..." Everyone said that the scars were healed and forgot the pain. Seeing that this pack of peppers was sold for such a high price, this person's mind became more and more focused.
The old man and Wang Tong were very smart, and they knew what was going on at a glance. At the same time, they patted the man on the shoulder and smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell us when I remember to come back!"
"Hey, hey!" The man nodded quickly and agreed, telling you, I will be fine in the future, and it would be great to get a pack and sell it to you every time.
What he could not have imagined was that when he went to find peppers again, he encountered pirates, and all the Yuan stones on his body were robbed and almost fed fish in the sea. He finally saved his life and got a lot of peppers back, but when he found the Wang family, the people stopped buying them and told him that if he had told the location at that time, he would have received a reward of 100 Yuan stones! He regretted that he almost didn't hang himself...
He took the man off the boat, and the old man took the package and opened it. It was covered with red peppers, about one finger long, dry.
"It should have been done when I picked it, otherwise it would be really not easy to preserve... But is this thing really that delicious? Every time I see Xiao Huntan, I feel like I'm drooling?" The old man thought to himself, picked up one and took a small bite.
"Nothing special... Aww~" The old man said it didn't smell much, and he felt like there was a fire in his mouth.
In fact, to put it in detail, peppers should not be considered taste, but more of a pain and a stimulation. If you get used to it, it will be fine, and it will be uncomfortable if you don’t eat it. But you have never tried this stimulation, and you will definitely feel so good.
When Wang Tong saw the old man tasted it, he wanted to try it. But when he saw the old man's appearance, he was so scared that his hands trembled, and he threw the pepper he had just picked up and threw it back.
"Water, water, water..." The old man ran around and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Wang Yan hurriedly took a can of water for him, and the old man poured it down, and his expression was getting better.
"Hu~" exhaled a long breath, and the old man shook his head and said, "It's so good, it's so exciting! It's so exciting!"
"Old man, are you okay?" Wang Tong walked forward and asked with lingering fear. The old man's appearance just now was really scary.
"It's okay, it's okay!" The old man shook his head, pinched the pepper and laughed, his eyes flashing with an evil light.
Wang Tong and Wang Yan felt so excited that they couldn't help but tremble.
"Wang Tong, after going to sea, I went back to Xingchen to collect the ribs. It should be fine with mung beans and their escort. The ancestor of Chongming Island cannot recover for a year or two... Just talk about the matter on Heilang, just watch it, it's useless for me to stay!" He can't wait to bring the pepper back now. In addition, he is still thinking about letting the pink go to the Ice Field.
"Okay!" Wang Tong nodded and said, "Then the old man, let's go first. I will write a letter to the Lord when I finish the matter here!"
Shortly after the fleet opened out of the port, the ribs carried the old man into the air, and the mung beans below jumped out of the water, making a rattle, saying goodbye to them...
At the current speed of pork ribs, it took three days to fly back to the Star Corner from the sea. After rushing back to the territory, the old man went straight to the lord's mansion.
Jiang Xingchen was frowning while sitting in the room. The manganese ore had not been found. The strength and toughness of steel could not meet the requirements. Moreover, in the future, the blacksmith workshop would definitely not be able to keep up with the needs of development. It would have to have a blast furnace and a steel plant. In that case, the place would be obviously not enough. It would be necessary to avoid pollution. In terms of avoiding pollution, it would be imperative.
Jiang Xingchen did not want to lead Xingchen into an industrial city, but if he wanted to attract people on a large scale, the industries needed were indispensable. The large-scale use of steam engines is another problem.
"From the earth in the previous life, development and environmental protection are simply a contradiction, especially in the early days of the industrial revolution. Although coal and oil have not been discovered in this world, charcoal is quite rich... Do you really want to destroy such a beautiful environment as the Star Leader..."
"Bang!" The door was pushed open suddenly, and the old man rushed in, frightening Jiang Xingchen in the deep thought.
"Boy, guess what I found?" Before Jiang Xingchen could say hello, the old man said loudly.
"Have you found any good things?" Jiang Xingchen asked with a smile.
"Of course, hehe, you've always been thinking about this thing!" The old man said, putting the bag on the table and untiing it twice.
"Chi pepper!" Just as the old man expected, Jiang Xingchen screamed in surprise when he saw what was in the package, and his expression of happiness was beyond words.
"It's all done. Have you dried it? No, you don't know how to dry it. It must be done naturally! By the way, where did you find it?" Jiang Xingchen looked up and asked.
"Do you still remember Wang Tong told you before..." The old man immediately told Jiang Xingchen about the story.
"Haha, that person is quite smart. He hides the location and doesn't tell us... But it doesn't matter. We won't need it in the future. We can plant it ourselves!" Jiang Xingchen pinched a pepper and shook it gently, and the rustling sound of pepper seeds came from it.
"I knew you could plant it, so I didn't ask!" The old man smiled and said, "Boy, don't you try it?"
"Try it, of course you have to try it!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, broke apart half of the dried peppers and threw them into his mouth.
The old man kept staring at Jiang Xingchen's expression, and his lips curled up and smiled sinisterly... But after a moment, the old man's expression changed. He straightened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Boy, why are you... okay?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
