Chapter 127: Shen Aiqing is interested.

 "Brother, why did you eat the sausage first? Why didn't you wait for me? Did you do it on purpose?"

  When Xuan Liye saw Xuan Liyu eating the sausage, , he collapsed.

  The eldest brother who used to love him would give him anything delicious and fun first, but now the eldest brother deliberately called him out just to eat one more bite of grilled sausage first.

  "Why are you so angry? I'm just trying it to avoid problems with the sausage. You are not in good health and can't eat randomly." Xuan Liyu rolled his eyes, turned around, continued to finish the last bite of the sausage, and picked up the food again. A grilled sausage dipped in paprika.

  The sausage dipped in sesame sauce was delicious. He wanted to try the sausage with chili powder.

  Xuan Liye's eyes were red, he rushed over and snatched the sausage from Xuan Liye's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

  "Wow~ It's so spicy, so spicy..." He took a big bite of the grilled sausage, but the chili powder entered his mouth and instantly invaded his tongue.

  Although it was very spicy, he didn't spit it out and swallowed the sausage into his stomach in a few quick bites.

  "You deserve it." Xuan Liyu deliberately dipped the sausage in a lot of chili powder, knowing that his younger brother would come to snatch it.

  But he has always been a good brother, so he brought a cup of tea to his brother.

  Xuan Liye didn't refuse. He drank a few sips of tea and continued eating sausages. He finished one sausage in two or three mouthfuls.

  "It's delicious, it's really delicious." He picked up another sausage, dipped it in sesame sauce, and ate it.

  Xuan Liyu couldn't help it. He picked up a piece of grilled sausage and dipped it in chili powder. He took a small bite and chewed it slowly. When he got used to the spiciness, he chewed it in big bites.

  "The taste is indeed very good. The meat has a unique aroma. This is my first time to eat it. Especially with the addition of sesame sauce and chili powder, the taste becomes even better."

  "Brother, can you give me the rest? I'm so hungry. "Xuan Liye has a big appetite. He used to be hungry every day, and the food cooked in the imperial kitchen was not to his taste.

  "Can you finish eating? There are ten sausages on a plate. Don't you also have a plate of sausages?" Xuan Liyu frowned, but seeing that his brother did eat three sausages at once, he felt a little sorry for his brother.

  He has been suffering from poor gastrointestinal problems all year round and cannot eat. His six-year-old brother looks only four or five years old.

  "You can finish it." Xuan Liye smiled proudly, holding another plate of grilled sausages and started eating. From the first bite of grilled sausage, he felt very hungry, so hungry that he felt like he could eat an elephant.

  It was the same as the last time he attended the little princess's birthday banquet at the General's Mansion. He felt hungry after taking the first bite of the banquet food.

  In the past, he wouldn't feel hungry if he didn't eat a bite for a day.

  Xuan Liyu let his brother finish the second plate of sausages, but he was a little worried that his stomach could bear it after eating so much.

  Let him sleep with you tonight!

  In addition, the imperial doctor was called to the East Palace to guard him to prevent him from feeling uncomfortable in the middle of the night.

  ...

  Ever since Mrs. Tan gave birth to her youngest son, the rumor that Ruan Ruan was a gifted virgin has become a fact.

  Every day, a woman came to the general's mansion to ask for a talisman to send her son off, and to see Ruan Ruan once.

  The General's Mansion was very busy during this time.

  Cheng Yurong wanted to refuse, but she felt uncomfortable seeing these women who had been married for many years without children.

  I am also a woman, why should women embarrass women?

  So she begged her daughter to start selling lucky charms again. In addition, she asked her daughter to let the customers touch her head at the door every morning (9 to 11 o'clock).

  Of course, for the safety of her daughter, she will also ask Butler Shen to register the identity of the guest and check that there is no problem with the guest's background before making an appointment.

  After a busy month, the first batch of peppers are ripe.

  Cheng Yurong looked at the five baskets of chilli padi, weighing a full 150 kilograms, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

  Fortunately, she knew how to make chili padi in advance, and the second child also left three recipes for making chili sauce. She asked Butler Shen to arrange the manpower to prepare hundreds of earthen jars, salt and other ingredients.

  The servants wiped the pepper padi clean with wet towels, poured the pepper into a large wooden basin, chopped it with a kitchen knife, marinated it with salt, and put it in an earthen jar for fermentation.     Of the remaining 100 pounds of chili pepper, half was made into garlic chili sauce and half was made into black bean chili sauce.

  As for the chili oil, wait until the next batch of chili padi is ripe and dried before making the chili oil.

  It took three days of busy work to prepare three flavors of chili sauce. Cheng Yurong was thinking about how to promote the chili sauce and sell all the chili sauces in a few days.

  It's been six months in the blink of an eye

  , and Ruan Ruan misses his second brother very much, but he won't come back until August. This time he goes out, he wants to spend a few more days, travel to most of the country, and understand the customs and customs of each place.

  By the way, bring the specialties from each place back to the capital and make a lot of money.

  The Chengjia, Tanjia, and Lijia cucumbers have also been on the market for half a month, making a lot of money.

  Even sweet potato seedlings are sold as vegetables to make a small profit.

  Cheng Yurong held a free chili sauce tasting event and successfully launched the chili sauce, which was loved by half of the people in the capital.

  She also tried adding chili peppers to the dishes, which tasted very good and diners loved it.

  In addition to pepper padi, there are also millet peppers, bell peppers, screw peppers, wattle peppers and sharp peppers.

  Next, various vegetables mature one after another, and soon corn matures.

  Looking at the two to three hundred corn trees in the plum garden, Shen Hong was extremely happy.

  He walked into the cornfield and personally broke off a stalk of corn and observed carefully. The plump yellow corn kernels really looked like jade and were free of diseases and insect pests.

  He took a bite, and the sweetness entered his throat, and the unique fragrance made him think about it.

  He continued to go to the cornfield to break the corn and put it into the bamboo basket. "I'll bring some to the palace for the emperor to taste."

  The four brothers Cheng Yurong and Shen Zhiyuan watched Shen Hong busy breaking the corn and knew that he was in a hurry, so they joined the team of breaking the corn.

  Ruan Ruan was eating maltose, standing aside and calmly ignoring their lively breaking of corn.

  Wang Daniu and Wang Dayu were even more excited than she was. They quickly rushed into the cornfield and helped break the corn.

  After a while, baskets of corn were brought out.

  "You two brothers are great, take that basket of corn and eat it!" When Shen Hong was happy, he rewarded Wang Daniu and Wang Dayu with a basket of corn.

  He knew the two brothers had taken care of the cornfield for three or four months and they deserved it.

  "Thank you, General." Wang Daniu stood half a head taller and carried the bamboo basket on his shoulders.

  Shen Hong and others also picked eleven baskets of corn, two baskets for their own consumption, two baskets for the Cheng family, one basket for the Li family, one basket for the Tan family, one basket for Shen Han, and one basket for the old patriarch.

  The remaining three baskets were sent to the palace.

  For dinner that afternoon, the emperor had a corn feast.

  First drink ribs, corn and carrot soup, then eat fresh corn porridge, roasted corn, golden corn braised, spicy fried corn chicken, corn shrimp...

  "Tonight's dishes are very good, refreshing, crispy and sweet. What is this plant? It looks good." It's very beautiful. This is the first time I've seen it." The emperor pointed at the corn and asked Eunuch Chen.

  "This is corn, Mr. Shen is offering it."

  "Corn, each grain is yellow, very similar to millet. Who do you think is offering it?" Only then did the emperor notice the last part of Eunuch Chen's sentence.

  "It's Mr. Shen. He heard that the emperor has a bad stomach recently and uses corn to nourish his stomach."

  "Shen Aiqing is interested." The emperor felt very warm in his heart.
