Chapter 499 Datang's First Pepper

Yun Chu's words were clearly despising Wu Mei.

However, this is not the first time he has despised the emperor and his wife, and Li Hong has long been used to his master using his parents as positive and negative examples to explain the truth to him.

"Is my mother selfish?"

Yun Chu said: "The essence of great people is selfish, so all dynasties and dynasties will go through a process from beginning to prosperity and then to extinction. The only difference is the length of time."

"Will Datang do the same?"

"Get out, I'm not right for you."

"That's it."

Yun Chu remained silent, while Li Hong kept squinting at Yun Chu, their eyes were full of contempt.

"I heard that you were beaten up all over your head by Sun Shenxian?"

"Who told you that?"

"Naha, she said that the old god is bullying you."

"The old god didn't bully me."

"Then it must be that you have done something that the old god doesn't like very much, and it must be a wrong thing."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "I want to use the old fairy's words of immortality to trick the whole world into finding which crops for us."

Li Hongdao: "Those things are really so good?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "If you have those few things, and then you can cultivate them well and do a good job of exterminating the poison, as long as your Li clan does not have an emperor like Jie and Zhou, maybe this country can really last for a long time. Handed down."

Li Hong looked at Yunchu mysteriously and said, "So, those things are poisonous, right?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Nonsense is all serious and good stuff."

Li Hong took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and put it in front of Yunchu.

Yun Chu just glanced at it, and felt that his breathing was about to stop. He tremblingly said, "Where did you get it?"

Li Hong whispered: "It was stolen from my mother, you have to be careful, my mother is going to use this thing to deal with you."

Yun Chu stared at the dried red pepper in the middle of the handkerchief with fascinated eyes. It was bright red and very well preserved, and the skin even shone red.

"This thing belongs to me." As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, he wrapped the handkerchief in lightning speed, and put the thing into his arms as fast as he could.

"My mother has identified this thing as poisonous."

Li Hong whispered to Yunchu again.

Yunchu turned a deaf ear to the words that chili peppers are poisonous, and took Li Hong's hand affectionately and said, "So, the Queen still has a lot of these things in her hands?"

Li Hong was puzzled and said: "Although there are not many, there are still more than a dozen of them. Not to mention that this food is not delicious at all, and people who eat it will be poisoned.

When used as poison, it will not kill people.

You said, what do you want this thing for? "

Seeing the expression of looking foolish in the master's eyes again, Li Hong immediately waved his hands and said, "Anyway, you are careful, my mother and father are planning to use this thing to punish you."

Yun Chu laughed and said: "Very good, I'll go into the palace right now, ask to see the queen, and see if I can bring all these things here."

Li Hongfa said anxiously: "If you go, won't you sell me?"

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "You know what the hell."

Li Hong hugged Yunchu's arm and said loudly: "If my mother finds out that I stole her things this time, there will be no way if I want to steal again in the future."

At this time, Yunchu had already been found out about the chili pepper and was about to faint from joy, so he didn't care about such a trivial thing as Li Hong being found out for stealing.

It was because teaching Yunchu a lesson was not a big deal for Wu Mei, so that Li Hong could succeed. If he really wanted to do something wrong, Li Hong would have absolutely no chance.

For Yunchu, discovering the chili pepper means that someone has discovered the way to South America, so now he wants to ask the queen directly who discovered the chili pepper and brought it back to Chang'an.

It is very impolite for a foreign minister to ask to see the queen, so Yunchu took Naha and Li Hong with him.

When Naha heard that she was going to meet the queen, she was somewhat happy. After all, every time she saw the queen, she would get a lot of benefits. '

Li Hong was not at all willing to go with Yunchu to meet his mother, as long as they met, the fact that he had stolen from his mother would be exposed immediately.

A carriage took the three of them into Miyagi.

Wu Mei, who was hugging Li Xian and looked left and right, and liked it more and more, heard that Yunchu, the prince, and Naha begged to see him.

He put down Li Xian carefully, and after coaxing his beloved son to sleep, he was ready to meet the foreign ministers. He wore a big dress and waited for the beaded curtain to be lowered. Only then did he summon Yunchu to come in.

After Li Hong came in, he got behind the bead curtain immediately, and then Naha was also invited into the bead curtain by Wu Mei, leaving only Yunchu standing awkwardly in the middle of the smooth ground of Liangyi Hall.

Soon, Li Hong's whispering voice came from the bead curtain. Although the voice was not loud, Yunchu could hear that this was Li Hong's trying to shirk his responsibility for stealing things, and he also encouraged his mother to ask Yunchu for help. I want [-] chili money.

Immediately there came Naha's voice defending her brother again. She pointed out directly that this was the result of Li Hong's habit of being a thief. He stole peppers to show off to his brother.

She also took the example of Li Hong who lent her a lot of money and refused to repay it back then, and tried her best to prove to Wu Mei that her son, the prince Li Hong, is a shameless villain with a despicable character.

It may be that Naha succeeded in suing, and Li Hong didn't know who pushed the bead curtain out, and sat on the futon brought by the palace just like Yunchu.

Wu Mei's clear voice came from behind the curtain.

"Is this what you call chili?"

Yunchu took out the extremely beautiful chili pepper he got from Li Hong, put it on the handkerchief, and replied respectfully, "Exactly!"

Wu Mei asked again: "Are you sure this is the crop called pepper that you said is beneficial to the people?"

Yun Chu once again replied with the most correct attitude: "Exactly."

Wu Mei said again: "Are you really willing to bid [-] guan for this thing?"

Yun Chu smiled confidently: "That depends on whether Her Highness the Queen wants to sell this thing to Wannian County or Wei Chen."

Wu Mei said: "What's the difference?"

Yun Chu said: "Sell it to Wannian County, then, from now on, this thing will be a special product of Wannian County, which can enrich the people.

If it is sold to Weichen, then this item will be the exclusive property of the Yun family and can enrich the Yun family. "

Wu Mei snorted coldly and said, "Are you going to sell this kind of poison to the Tang people for profit?"

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Reporting to Her Majesty, because of its unique flavor, chili can stimulate saliva secretion, increase appetite, promote food digestion and absorption, and relieve symptoms of indigestion.

Pepper also has anti-virus effect, which can kill some toxins in the human body just like anti-virus drugs, and can make people less sick.

In addition, chili is pungent in taste, hot in nature, and has the effect of sweating and relieving the exterior.

Especially for people who live in hot flashes all the year round, it is a gift from God. "

"Huh? Are you sure this thing is edible?"

Yunchu picked up the exquisite dried chili with regret and said: "It's a pity that there are too few, otherwise, this thing will be paired with my Guanzhong pasta. The taste is unique and it is a perfect match."

Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said: "I still have some here in this palace."

After finishing speaking, a female official came over with a basket in hand. Yunchu looked over and his eyes immediately became hot. After taking the sieve, he saw that the basket was full of red peppers. The color of the peppers is pure bright red, and some peppers are even red and black. The most wonderful thing is that the pepper that Li Hong stole from him is similar to the Chaotian pepper that Yunchu ate, and the peppers in the basket are the same length and length. Different, belong to different quality peppers.

Seeing peppers for the first time in many years, Yunchu still cared about etiquette, and immediately picked out several different kinds of peppers from the basket, and quickly stuffed them into the sleeves under Wu Mei's watchful eyes.

Li Hong was coughing vigorously on the side, he felt that Yunchu was doing too much now, but he didn't know that after Wu Mei saw Yunchu's sneaky behavior, she immediately felt that what Yunchu said might be true.

"I have tried it on animals, and the animals are in great pain. People have tried it, and people are also in pain. Who else in this world would be willing to eat this kind of food?"

Yun Chu hugged the bamboo basket and said, "That's because they didn't eat it in the right way, and they don't know how to eat it. If they master the knack of eating chili, it will definitely make people eat it more and more, and finally they can't give it up."

Wu Mei said: "Is that really the case?"

Holding the basket in his arms, Yun Chu calmed down his excitement and said, "Since Her Royal Highness has got the peppers, then, where are the potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that I need?"

Wu Mei asked in surprise: "Yun Qing means that this thing and the rest of what Ai Qing said come from the same place?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "That's true, this thing must have come from the sea, perhaps a bird swallowed this thing, and then left the seeds on a certain island when defecating.

If these peppers are taken from the place of origin, then there must be those kinds of crops mentioned by Wei Chen in places where there are peppers. "

Wu Mei pondered for a moment, but did not answer the origin of the peppers, but directly said to Yunchu: "These peppers are considered to be rewarded by the palace to the people of Wannian County, and Aiqing can grow them in Wannian County, but if you want to sell them If so, Aiqing needs to prove to Ben Gong that this thing is indeed an edible crop, not a poisonous substance."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, once you have enough peppers, I won't give others the chance to take the first bite."

Wu Mei said: "So, did Yun Qing eat it in the past?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "That is a taste that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow of this minister, and it will be unforgettable in this life."

After hearing what Yunchu said, Wu Mei asked Naha directly: "Naha, have you ever eaten this thing?"

Naha looked at the peppers in the basket greedily and shook her head: "I haven't eaten it, but my brother ate a lot of weird things back then, but he refused to give them to me. I think they must be extremely delicious."

Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said, "Back off."

Impatient with waiting, Yunchu immediately bid farewell to the queen, and hurried out, Li Hong hurriedly followed, and then, Naha also came out from behind the bead curtain and ran away with her brother and Li Hong.

Wu Mei ordered people to remove the bead curtains, walked up and down the hall with her stomach in her arms, and then said to Aunt Chun: "Call Princess Lelang, Jin Yuyan, to see you."
