In Space Field No. 2, the three spices planted some time ago, green onions, ginger and peppers, have begun to take shape.
Clumps of green green onions stand tall and tall; the slender pointed leaves of ginger stretch out one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is the dozens of pepper seedlings, which have grown to about fifty centimeters tall. After blooming with small white flowers, they have successfully produced fruit. The length of the pepper fruit is about seven or eight centimeters, which is longer than the common Chaotian pepper varieties on the market.
Large, pepper fruits grow on the ends of branches, clustered in clusters, with each cluster containing more than a dozen, all standing upright toward the sky.
The peppers are bright red in color, plump in size, with blunt and rounded tips, and look very beautiful when paired with the dark green leaves.
Li Youran bent over and stood on the ridge of the field, admiring the new crops in the space. He squatted aside and stretched out his nose to sniff, seeming to be very interested in this little red thing that he had never seen before.
On the high corner, Liao Ling stood on it carelessly. The little girl went to school today, and Li Youran took it in as usual. He seemed more honest now, observing for a while without saying a word or expressing anything.
The desire to try something new seems to tell it intuitively that this is not something delicious.
Ang Ang has a strong thirst for knowledge and loves to learn, which is what makes Li Youran very satisfied. Seeing that Ang Ang's curiosity about peppers is so strong, he decided to satisfy it.
So, Li Youran stretched out his hand to pick off a chili pepper and broke it open from the middle. It felt crunchy and nice. He then handed the broken end of half of the chili pepper to An Ang, who naturally stretched out his nose and sniffed it hard.
"Ang Ang, Ang Ang." Raccoon Dog suddenly raised his head and shouted, turned around and ran towards the stream. Liao Lang was caught off guard and was thrown down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, flapping his wings and flew to the jujube tree.
Ang Ang had no time to pay attention to it at the moment, and with a pop, he plunged his head into the stream, causing water to splash everywhere.
"Haha, is it so powerful? It's just a small chili pepper." Li Youran said disapprovingly, but Ang Ang had never tasted such a thing, so it was normal for him to have a strong reaction.
He put the other half of the chili pepper into his mouth and took a bite. The fruits of hard work always need to be tasted, and they will be taken to the store for use in the future.
In about half a second, a flame-like feeling quickly rushed from the tip of the tongue into the throat, and then spread to the entire face.
"Bah, bah." Li Youran spat out the chili dregs in his mouth.
But this didn't solve the problem. After a while, sweat and tears began to flow from my forehead.
There was no other way, so he ran to the stream and, like Ang Ang, took up the water and drank heavily.
One person and one beast behaved strangely. Liao Lian didn't know what was going on. He was a little panicked and jumped up and down on the branches of the jujube branches, chirping non-stop.
Li Youran took a big mouthful of stream water in his mouth and poured a lot of it on his face, and then he felt better.
God, is this still chili? Although I am from the north, I can still eat some chili dishes, such as spicy hot pot, boiled fish, etc. I have never been so embarrassed like today.
After a while, the burning sensation gradually subsided. He spit out the water in his mouth, stood up, and took a long breath.
Over there, he buried his head in the water for a long time, then suddenly raised it and sprayed a column of water into the air. Li Youran had seen this kind of situation many times, so he reacted very quickly and stepped out of the shower range in a few steps.
With a crackling sound, the water column turned into raindrops in the air and fell down, covering an area of more than twenty meters on the ground. He was completely drenched.
"Chirp, chirp." Liao Leng shouted angrily while shaking his wings.
"You bad poodle, why are you so crazy?" Li Youran got angry and gave Ang Ang an unpleasant nickname.
Ang Ang had just finished venting his anger when he heard Li Youran scolding him. Knowing that he had done something wrong again, he quickly ran towards the stalactite cave with his head hanging down.
"Hmph, why don't you just smell some chili pepper? Such a big reaction. Fortunately, you are still a spiritual beast." Li Youran said to the high-spirited figure with contempt.
He returned to the pepper field and felt a sense of fear when he looked at these bright red fruits.
The spiciness is so high. The space land is functioning as usual, enhancing the characteristics of each crop several times.
This kind of pepper cannot be eaten directly. It can only be used as seasoning. A little bit at a time is enough.
Let's pick some out first and show it to Chef Liu. Only he can tell you how it will be.
Li Youran exited the space, went to the lounge to find Chef Liu, and handed him a few freshly picked space peppers.
"This is a new variety of pepper. It's so spicy that I can't eat it. See if you can make it without seasoning." Li Youran said with lingering fear.
This needs to be vaccinated first, so that Chef Liu will not taste it directly, which will make him miserable.
Chef Liu placed two chili peppers in the palm of his hand and looked at them carefully. The color and appearance were of the highest quality, and they were larger than the ordinary chili peppers on the market. He had never seen them before.
However, Boss Li often comes out with new varieties, so he has long been used to it.
He lightly scratched the surface of the pepper with his fingernails and smelled it close to his nose.
"It's so good, so spicy." Chef Liu's eyes lit up and he praised it.
"Can it be used? I'm afraid the guests won't be able to bear it?" Li Youran couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the compliment. He had always been worried that he wouldn't be able to use it because it was too spicy.
"No problem, how can such a good pepper not be used? You see, this fruit has a solid skin, large shoulders, thick flesh, strong spiciness, and a strong aroma. It is of the best quality. It can be used as a side dish.
The seasoning is excellent. I have always been dissatisfied with the chili peppers bought by the logistics department." Chef Liu took a few chili peppers and turned them over in his hand, feeling like he couldn't put them down.
"Can this also be used as a side dish? No one can bear it, right?" Li Youran asked doubtfully.
"It may not work if you use it directly, but you can boil it in boiling water first to reduce the spiciness, and it can also be used with other chili peppers. I think the skin is very hard, so I guess it won't collapse easily. Of course, you have to try it before you can tell.
The boiled water can also be used to mix with the soup, and it should have a good effect of improving the freshness. There are quite a few guests who like spicy food." Chef Liu said with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing what he said, Li Youran finally felt at ease, and took out a piece of ginger and a green onion from the bag and showed them to Chef Liu.
Unsurprisingly, ginger and green onions were also praised by the other party, saying that these two items have a strong aroma, spicy juice and very pure taste. They are both top-quality condiments.
Chef Liu then asked when these items would be available for the kitchen, and he immediately asked the logistics department to stop purchasing from the market.
Li Youran told him that this was just an initial sample, and the quantity currently available was very small, so he was given priority to use it for the cooking of Class B banquets. As for bulk supply, he would have to wait for a while.
Chef Liu said that it is okay to start with a small amount, especially chili peppers, which will definitely taste quite good when used to make chili sauce. He also expressed the hope that it can be supplied normally as soon as possible, so that the overall taste of the private kitchen can be improved again.
