God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

What a joke!

Back then, he had also seen the drama of Crazy Primitive Man with his own eyes.

This guy Li Ke, with his bare hands, can press a tiger to the ground and hammer it fiercely, and fight with him, isn't this courting death?

"It's nothing, Your Highness, you misunderstood me, I just made a joke with these two, hey, Your Highness, I haven't seen you in Chang'an recently, I thought you went somewhere, I never thought, you came to Hu County How about I invite you to Yuminglou for a drink? This Yuminglou is a restaurant opened by Changsun's family in Hu County, and the business is good..." Changsun Chong said flatteringly to Li Ke.

Although he didn't want to see Li Ke in his heart, but as a prince, Li Ke had to lower his posture.

Li Ke waved his hand: "It's free to eat. In this world, except for the delicious food made by the teacher himself, and the delicious food from the Food Research Institute, the rest, in my eyes, are no different from pig food... Are you here to find Teacher's?"

Chang Sun Chong nodded: "Your Highness can guess right, I am here to find Du He."

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Then you came at the wrong time. During this time, the teacher is busy growing peppers and has no time to talk to you."

chili?

Changsun's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, the main purpose of his visit to Hu County this time was to inquire about chili peppers.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke took the initiative to speak out.

His eyes lit up, and then he pretended to be calm and asked: "Du He planted peppers, have they grown?"

Li Ke sighed: "It's not so easy to grow this chili pepper. The teacher is also devastated by this matter. Now I live and eat in the farm. It's been more than ten days, and I haven't seen a clue."

"I see……"

Chang Sun Chong murmured, and then bid farewell to Li Ke.

Afterwards, Changsun rushed back to Chang'an on a fast horse in a hurry, and when he returned to Sikong Mansion, he told Changsun Wuji all about it.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, and said, "It seems that Du He hasn't planted peppers yet, but he has already started to plant them... You should hurry and invite Mr. Niu here."

This Mr. Niu is an expert in farming invited by the Sikong Mansion.

At the beginning, Changsun Wuji got a chili pepper from Du He, which was made into seeds by Mr. Niu and stored.

This man was not good in appearance, and his height was only five feet. No one would have thought that he would be an expert in farming.

Changsun Wuji asked straight to the point: "Mr. Niu, how are you preserving the chili seeds?"

Mr. Niu replied: "My eldest grandson, the younger one has already dried the seeds and stored them in clay pots. They are well preserved. The temperature has risen recently, so it is time to plant them."

Changsun Wuji then said: "Mr. Niu, I will leave this matter to you. You can find a piece of land in the backyard of Sikong Mansion and plant this seed. It will be planted as soon as possible."

Mr. Niu nodded in agreement, and then left.

Changsun Wuji ordered: "Chong'er, go and assist Mr. Niu. By the way, let him write down the planting and subsequent steps."

"Father, why did you ask him to write it down?" Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji asked displeasedly: "Father has his own arrangements, you just have to do it well!"

"Oh!"

……

at dusk.

Changsun Chong came to Changsun Wuji's study room, put a few pieces of paper on the table, and said happily: "Father, according to your instructions, Mr. Niu has written all the planting matters on this, everything is detailed and detailed. Very, also, the pepper seeds have been planted, Mr. Niu said, just need to water some water every day, and the seedlings will grow in ten days at most!"

Changsun Wuji looked at the few pieces of paper, then raised his head, a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Let's deal with Mr. Niu!"

The eldest grandson widened his eyes and asked, "Father, you mean to kill Mr. Niu? Why?"

Changsun Wuji said coldly: "He knows too many secrets. If we grow peppers before Du He and dedicate them to His Majesty, one day this secret will be leaked, and our Sikong Mansion can't afford to lose this man." !"

Chang Sun Chong nodded, turned and walked out.

That night, Mr. Niu ate a full meal, and before three o'clock, he was poisoned to death.

Chapter 962? Pepper Planting

Hu County Farm.

Li Chengqian followed Du He and walked into the greenhouse.

Looking around, the entire greenhouse is full of green seedlings not only the size of a palm.

This seedling was something Li Chengqian had never seen before.

He squatted on the ground, looked at the seedlings carefully, and looked back at Du He in surprise: "Teacher, is this a pepper? But I remember that pepper, which is obviously red, one by one, and there is no such thing. Could it be like a potato?" , growing underground?"

No wonder Li Chengqian was ignorant. In fact, in this era, no one has ever seen how peppers are grown.

These pepper seedlings were actually planted a month ago.

It's so cold that others can't grow it, but Duhe has a big shed, so it's not difficult to grow anything.

Now, all the pepper seeds that were sown have probably grown up, and under Li Chengqian's careful care, they have grown very well.

As the temperature rises, spring flowers bloom.

Du He decided to transplant these pepper seedlings to the land outside.

In order to ensure the survival rate after transplanting, Du He decided to adopt the method of overall transplanting, and directly asked people to dig up all the soil around the roots of each pepper seedling, and removed them as a whole, avoiding that the survival rate of pepper seedlings was not high if they were removed alone. The problem.

This matter, of course, is left to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian led the workers, carrying small shovels, and was very busy. After three days of work, he finally transplanted all the pepper seedlings, and then he brought people to watch day and night.

During this period, Li Chengqian found Du He many times, and said in doubt: "Teacher, I don't know what's going on. People from the Sikong Mansion often come here, and even Chang Sun Chong came several times to ask me about the chili peppers in Hu County."

Hearing this, Du He waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, you just need to remember your teacher's instruction, this pepper is the biggest secret of the Huxian farm, and you must not reveal it to outsiders for the time being."

"Teacher, don't worry, I know what to do!" Li Chengqian nodded and said solemnly.

In addition to Li Chengqian, there are twelve other workers who are in charge of planting chili peppers. These people live on the farm, and since the day they planted chili pepper seeds, they have been forced to leave for half a step, and they have completely cut off contact with the outside world.

These people didn't complain at all, because the salary Du He gave them was as high as one hundred Wen per day, which was more than three times that of other ordinary workers on the farm.

Changsun Chong came to the Agricultural Research Institute many times, and even brought him a long time to drink with Li Chengqian, but what he said was all about chili peppers.

Li Chengqian knew it well, and kept Du He's instructions in mind, and never revealed any information.
