After a night of silence, the next day came.

After breakfast, the aunt and nephew prepared to set out to look for the chili pepper.

When Yan Chujiu got on the black warrior, Su Yueqing pushed the tricycle out.

Yan Chujiu asked in confusion, "Aunt, don't you want to take this car?"

"We are going to collect peppers, not to have a feast. Do you want others to rip you off by driving such a nice car?"

Yan Chujiu thought about it and couldn't help but give his aunt 10086 likes.

Riding a tricycle, others will naturally not raise the price when they see that the tricycle is shaky and looks like it doesn't even want to collect junk.

But if you drive a million-dollar luxury car, others will treat you as a fat sheep, and they will feel sorry for you if they don't kill you.

Listen to your aunt's advice, and you will definitely have enough food.

Yan Chujiu immediately changed to a tricycle and took his aunt away.

As soon as the two of them got out of the intersection, Huang Zhihong, who was sitting on the back seat of a motorcycle hidden in the alley, hurriedly patted Huang Rishan on the shoulder.

"Rishan, Rishan, they are going out, they are going out!"

Huang Rishan scratched his ears, "I saw it, you can just talk without echoing, okay!"

"They are not heading towards the dock, and they are definitely not setting up a stall. If the wolfhound is really theirs, they may be going to see the dog!"

Huang Rishan couldn't help but look back at him. After being threatened and lured by Huang Defa, this guy seemed to be stiff.

"Hurry, let's catch up!"

Huang Rishan was not in a hurry, "Why panic? They are human-powered tricycles, and we are gasoline motorcycles. We can catch up with them by turning the accelerator! Be steady, they can't run away."

After a while, Huang Rishan put on his newly bought helmet and followed slowly.

...

Dongwan Village is next to Baisha Village, and then there are Lianxi Village, Guodou Village, Weikeng Village... A total of eleven administrative villages, forming Haiping Town.

There is no need to waste time on Dongwan Village. Su Yueqing had already asked all yesterday, so she went out of the village directly.

There are many crops in these nearby villages, and peppers are not rare. Almost all villagers with vegetable fields have them at home!

But they are all common varieties: Erjingtiao, Chaotian Pepper, Screw Pepper, Lantern Pepper, Millet Pepper, Bullet Head Pepper, etc.!

The chili peppers that the aunt and nephew were looking for were not planted by many people outside Dongwan Village. Even if they were planted, they would only plant one or ten trees at a time. No one planted them in large quantities.

Following the route of Haiping Town, they searched from village to village, and the more they searched, the more disappointed they became.

In several nearby villages, they could still barely see a small number of chili peppers, but the farther they were from Dongwan Village, the harder it was to find them.

It was almost noon, the time when the sun was the hottest in the day.

Yan Chujiu had thick skin and rough flesh, so it didn't matter. He looked back at his aunt who was sitting behind him and found that she was already sweating profusely from the sun, her clothes were almost soaked, and she was barely visible.

Although she was wearing a hat and a face towel, she could only see a pair of beautiful eyes, but a layer of fine sweat had condensed on her eyelids, which looked shiny.

Yan Chujiu was afraid that if she continued to be exposed to the sun like this, his aunt would get a heat stroke.

"Aunt, why don't we find a place to rest when the sun is not so strong!"

Su Yueqing also felt sorry for him, so she nodded.

Yan Chujiu originally wanted to find a rice noodle shop or fast food restaurant to eat something and rest!

Looking at the navigation map of the cycling, the nearest village is still seven or eight kilometers away, and finally he can only choose to rest under the shade of a tree on the side of the road.

When going out, it is not so particular, the two of them sat on the ground.

But before Su Yueqing sat down, Yan Chujiu took a plastic bag and spread it flat underneath to prevent her skirt from getting dirty.

Yan Chujiu is generally not considerate to women, but when he is considerate, he is very considerate, especially to his only close relative.

He handed his big kettle to Su Yueqing, "Auntie, drink some water!"

Su Yueqing took two sips and found that the taste was not right, "Why does this water taste a bit salty?"

"I added salt!"

"Why add salt?"

Yan Chujiu gave her a popular science lesson, "In such a hot day, you will inevitably sweat a lot. The main components of sweat are water and sodium chloride. If you don't replenish it in time, you may have metabolic disorders and cause heatstroke. Adding some salt can prevent it!"

Su Yueqing sometimes really admires her nephew!

He is not well educated and can't even be considered a marginal student in college, but he knows a lot of strange knowledge.

"Adding salt can not only prevent heatstroke, but also quench thirst and avoid a large amount of sweat at once

Drinking too much water leads to water poisoning..."

Yan Chujiu talked endlessly.

Su Yueqing had to admit that what he said was true. The water was a little salty and tasted bad. After a few sips, he couldn't drink it anymore and didn't feel that thirsty.

"Chujiu, I'm afraid our trip will be in vain. Not many people grow small bird peppers."

Yan Chujiu also thought it might be like this. This pepper is very spicy, the fruits are small, the yield is not high, and the economic value is not great!

Without special demand, who would be idle and grow a lot of it.

"Look for it again. If it doesn't work, buy it online!"

"Can I buy small bird peppers online?"

"I took a rough look last night and there is no one exactly the same. The so-called small bird peppers they grow are slightly larger than the ones we grow, and the shape is slightly different. But the taste should be about the same..."

"That won't work!" Su Yueqing interrupted him, "The main flavor of the chili sauce I make comes from this unique small bird pepper. If it's not, it won't have that flavor. ”

Su Yueqing had tried to use other peppers to replace the chili peppers before, but the taste was different.

This difference is hard for ordinary people to taste, but experts can tell as soon as they put it in their mouths.

Su Yueqing thinks that it may be difficult for poor people to live, and it will be more boring if they lose their character, so she never does things to fool people.

This is also the reason why her stall is small but has many regular customers.

Yan Chujiu said helplessly, "Then let's look for it again, maybe we can find it in the next village!"

Su Yueqing didn't dare to be too optimistic, but there was no other good way at present, so she could only look for it while walking.

"Rishan, what are they doing? They have been walking around for a whole morning!"

Huang Zhihong glanced at the tricycle parked on the roadside in front of him, then picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it all upside down, but it still didn't quench his thirst, so he took another bottle and drank it down.

"Didn't I just ask someone? They are looking for chili peppers! "

Huang Rishan was also drinking water. The weather was too hot, the motorcycle was hot, and his back was pressed against Huang Zhihong, the stove!

Attacked from both sides, he was like a piece of fat pork being fried on both sides, and his body was covered in oil.

Huang Zhihong said angrily, "What a joke, I suspect they already know we are following them, and they are deliberately taking us in circles."

Huang Rishan looked at Huang Zhihong with some surprise. Although this possibility is unlikely, it is not completely impossible.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head, "They probably didn't notice it. I have been controlling the distance, and they are quite far away."

Huang Zhihong reached out and wiped his forehead. His hand was so wet, and he said with a sad face, "Why don't we go back to the village? I'm almost getting heatstroke!"

"Go back?" Huang Rishan asked coldly, "How are we going to report to Huang Defa? Don't you want your father's fishing boat rental qualification anymore? ”

Huang Zhihong wanted to cry but had no tears, "But it's so hot, how long are we going to follow them?"

"We are hot, they are hot too, let's follow them for a while and see!"

Huang Zhihong, who was dizzy from the sun, couldn't help complaining, "It's all your fault!"

"Blame me?"

"If you hadn't said you saw that dog and wanted to collect Huang Defa's reward, would there have been so many troubles?"

Huang Rishan glared at him unhappily, "You talk as if you didn't spend the money he gave you!"

"He only gave me a few dollars? I walked alone in a dark alley and it was gone! Anyway, nothing good has happened since I got together with you. My luck is like money, it's all gone."

"What do you mean? I didn't say you were a burden to me, but you blamed me instead? "

At the end, the two began to fight each other!

...

After the aunt and nephew rested for a while, they saw clouds in the sky, blocking the sun, so they hurried to set off while it was cool.

After walking a few kilometers, they saw a very large manor in front of them, with many fruit trees planted in it.

Grapes, dragon fruit, carambola, Sanhua plum, kumquat, lychee... so many that you can hardly see the end at a glance.

These are not the main points. The main point is that Yan Chujiu seems to have seen the little bird pepper.

"Aunt, take a look, is that the little bird pepper we are looking for? ”

The distance was a bit far, and Su Yueqing's eyesight was not as good as Yan Chujiu's. She walked a long way forward before she could finally see clearly.

In a corner of the manor, there were small bird peppers growing, with small red fruits, exactly the same as those grown at home.

Not just two or three trees, but several acres of land!

When you are at the end of your rope, you will find a bright future!

The aunt and nephew were overjoyed. Their hard work along the way was not in vain. They finally found it.
