Chapter 179

Shi Qingluo walked over and picked a few peppers.

"This is called chili, not a fruit, but a vegetable."

"It's mainly used for cooking to enhance the flavor."

"My master said that this is the seed he collected when he traveled."

"You can eat fresh chili peppers or sun-dried to make chili sauce."

"It also has the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold, and lowering the qi to digest food."

"By the way, my master said that people who can eat spicy food will like it, but those who can't eat spicy food will not necessarily like it."

Hearing her say this, Mo Qingling and others were a little disappointed, thinking it was something good.

But with corn, they are also satisfied.

Liang Youxiao, a foodie, leaned over and asked, "What does this taste like?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "It will be very spicy when eaten raw, and it should be delicious when used for cooking."

"I'll pick a few to eat tomorrow."

Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "This is a good idea."

He also took the initiative to help Shi Qingluo pick a few more red ones.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Qingling proposed to leave.

He has to arrange to bring someone to harvest corn tomorrow morning.

Elder Hou didn't want to go back to the county, so he decided to stay at Xiao Hanzheng's house for one night tonight.

After getting old and going to work, he no longer has much pursuit of power or anything, but likes to eat.

It was very comfortable to eat at the younger disciple's house tonight, and I would like to taste the taste of this chili again tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Hanzheng didn't go to the county seat. As soon as they finished breakfast, Mo Qingling brought people from the county government to collect corn.

Hou Lao, Liang Youxiao and others followed to the Taoist temple.

Because I heard that the old immortal appeared again yesterday, the number of people who came to offer incense today doubled.

Seeing that the magistrate brought people, many people were surprised.

"Why did the magistrate come here? Bring someone to offer incense?" This is unlikely.

"I heard that the old god appeared yesterday and gave a hint, and the gods have given good seeds to the saint and our beam."

"So today, the magistrate will bring people to harvest good seeds."

"Ah, is it true or false?" Why does it sound so mysterious?

Someone emphasized, "That must be true. Yesterday, I saw the old fairy appear with my own eyes."

"Let's go and have a look and see."

So the people who gave the incense also went to the backyard to watch.

Mo Qingling didn't stop him either. According to Shi Qingluo's method, he had the corn cobs cut off.

He brought more than a dozen strong yamen servants, so it didn't take long for the corn to be harvested for one mu of land.

In the end, the weight was over 1,200 pounds.

Mo Qingling and Hou Lao showed excitement on their faces.

Really high-yield food!

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed one by one.

"What, one mu has such a high yield."

"Oh my God, I have been planting the land for so many years, and this is the first time I heard that the yield per mu is thousands of catties."

"What kind of corn can really be used as food? If that's the case, won't you be hungry in the future?"

"I don't know if it tastes good or not."

Hearing these people's words, Xi Rui said with a smile: "It's delicious, we tasted it last night, and it can indeed be used as food."

"Not only can it be boiled and steamed, but also pancakes can be made. After drying and grinding into powder, it can also be steamed steamed buns and made into wotou."

"I think baked tortillas are better than white flour."

He was tired of eating white bread.

Hearing Xi Rui's words, all the onlookers were excited.

There is no doubt about his words, the noble son from the capital has never eaten anything good. Since corn is delicious, it must be delicious.

Besides, if it's not delicious, how could Magistrate Mo bring someone to collect it.

They also really want to taste this god-given seed!

So they cast envious and jealous eyes at Xi Rui.

Xi Rui likes this kind of limelight, and especially enjoys everyone's envious eyes.

Liang Youxiao was actually going to show off, but who would have been preempted by Xi Rui.

He rolled his eyes, walked to Shi Qingluo and said, "Qingluo, how about we discuss something?"

When Shi Qingluo saw his thief-like appearance, he roughly guessed, "Why?"

Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "Give me some corn seeds."

Shi Qingluo thought to himself, this product really had the idea of ​​corn seeds.

She shrugged and said as a bachelor: "Now the corn is handed over to the county government for collection, I can't make the decision."

I mean, if you want, go to Mo Qingling.

She wanted to keep some seeds herself, but she couldn't do it in public.

Liang Youxiao's face was thicker, so he moved to Mo Qingling's side again.

"Brother Ling, after the corn is dried, give me a few kilograms."

This is a good seed bestowed by God. If their Zhuangzi were planted with the first batch, they would have a lot of face.

Mo Qingling glanced at him, "Do you think it's possible?"

There are still dozens of pounds, why don’t you want a few hundred pounds?

Xi Rui also turned around, and also leaned over, "Brother Ling, I think it's ok."

"It's more than a thousand pounds. It's okay to divide us a few dozen pounds, right?"

This time, even Fei Yuzhe couldn't hold back and leaned forward, "Yes, Brother Ling gave

Let's order. "

I had known that I had an affair with Shi Qing yesterday.

Xi Rong didn't want it. She was not familiar with Mo Qingling.

And her uncle is the emperor. After the corn seeds are delivered to the capital, she can ask her uncle again.

Mo Qingling supported his forehead and said with a headache, "I can't be the master."

"How can you not be the master? Brother Ling only has dozens of pounds of corn. Don't be so hard on yourself!"

"That's right, I remember Brother Ling, you used to be generous."

"Brother Ling, are we brothers? If we are brothers, give us some."

Mo Qingling: "..." Brother, he is not that familiar with them, okay?

In those years when he was a playboy, these little brats were still wearing open-crotch pants.

Several people kept pestering Mo Qingling.

He couldn't help but spit out a word with a dark face, "Get out!"

When Liang Youxiao and the others saw that Mo Qingling would not enter, they could only retreat and think of other ways.

After a while, Liang Youxiao pulled Xi Rui aside, "You take the lead and go grab some corn directly. Let's take it back to the yard to dry it, and then bring it back to the capital as seeds."

Xi Rui: "..." No wonder his father said that this bastard was full of bad water and made bad ideas.

"Why do you want me to take the lead to grab it?"

Liang Youxiao said as a matter of course: "Because the Queen Mother is your aunt, and the Holy One is your cousin. You took the lead in robbing her. Go back and coax the Queen Mother and you'll be fine."

"We don't have a queen mother and aunt."

Fei Yuzhe had already come over and said in agreement, "Yes, so you should take the lead."

Xi Rui: "..." He has made some bad friends that are not gadgets.

But what he said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

He said, "The sage is still Xi Rong's uncle, why don't you let her go?"

Liang Youxiao looked like you were so stupid, "Do they need to be robbed? Go back and coax the saint and you will be rewarded."

"Let's go to coax the saint, do you think it might be rewarded?"

Xi Rui shook his head, "Nine times out of ten it's unlikely."

Liang Youxiao said in unison, "That's all it takes. "

Xi Rui thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, done!"

If the sage blamed him, he would go and beg the queen mother and aunt.

The three exchanged glances, and then took advantage of Mo Qingling not paying attention.

Xi Rui rushed forward and hugged a dozen corn cobs.

I don’t want to lose dozens of kilograms. It’s counted as few kilograms if I grab it.

Then Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe also rushed up, each picked up a dozen corn cobs and ran.

Seeing this, Mo Qingling's face darkened again, and when he saw the three people who had already run away and slipped away, he suddenly felt itchy hands.

But taking these people is really helpless.

That's all we can do, wait until I go back and talk to the sage.

However, it is estimated that the Holy Master will not really punish these unremarkable little dudes.

So people keep an eye on the remaining corn, whoever grabs it will go directly to the board.
