He couldn't help but be overjoyed. After so many years, he finally had a mouthful of pure spicy taste.

Immediately, he quickly took out the kettle and drank a few mouthfuls of water.

However, there was still a breath.

"Master?"

"Your Majesty?"

On the side, Cheng Chusi, Xue Rengui and others all looked nervous.

"I'm fine, this chili is delicious, do you want to try it?"

Li Xuan said with a smile all over his face.

"Master, let me have a taste!"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Cheng Chusi's eyes, and he stretched out his hand, ready to pick the bunch of peppers in Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan quickly withdrew his hands, and said angrily, "This chili is so precious, how can it be wasted, eat this!"

Saying that, he bit off a small chili pepper and handed it to Cheng Chusi.

"This chili tastes much hotter than cornel, so bite less!"

"Master, don't worry, it's just chili, I like spicy food the most!"

Cheng Chusi looked indifferent.

However, when he opened his mouth, he was still a little scrupulous and didn't bite too much.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, looked at Cheng Chusi expectantly, the little bastard actually bit so much in one bite!

Cheng Chusi just chewed it twice, his eyes widened, and he spat.

At the same time, he quickly took out the water bottle on his body and filled it with his big mouth.

"Hiss...Master...hiss...why is this pepper so hot...hiss..."

After speaking, Cheng Chusi took another big gulp into his mouth.

This time, it was already full of shouts.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui and others couldn't help gloating.

At the same time, looking at the bunch of peppers in Li Xuan's hand, he was a little curious but also a little apprehensive.

Around, those natives were all smiling.

"Who told you, you bastard, to bite so much in one bite!"

Li Xuan sneered, then turned to look at Li Chengqian and the others.

"When you eat this kind of chili for the first time, you can only take a small bite at most. Whoever wants to taste it, come and get the chili."

Li Chengqian, Li Baoding and the others took the chili pepper and carefully took a small bite, not as big as a fingernail.

But even so, it is also a hot straight inhalation.

"Come here, bring a small bottle of refined salt!"

Li Xuan raised his head again and shouted.

"Yes!"

Soon, one of the guards held a glass bottle smaller than a fist, which was full of fine salt.

Immediately, all the natives looked at the bottle in shock.

They had never seen such a beautiful little bottle.

After Li Xuan took the small bottle of salt, he walked to the side of the old man.

Then, in front of the old man whose eyes were already glued to the glass bottle, he slowly unscrewed the glass bottle.

Stretch out your index finger, lightly dip some salt, put it in your mouth and taste it.

Then, he stretched out the bottle of salt in front of the old man, motioning the old man to learn from him.

Seeing this, the old man didn't dare to refuse, carefully imitating Li Xuan's movements, dipped some salt, and just put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation.

Immediately, with an excited expression, he kowtowed to Li Xuan and murmured.

Similarly, the group of natives behind them were all excited, and their eyes were fixed on the bottle of refined salt in Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan chuckled, and then slowly screwed on the bottle cap!

Then, he handed the glass bottle to the old man, and pointed to the glass bottle, then to the bunch of peppers in his hand, and the peppers hanging on the surrounding huts.

……

Chapter 595 Easy to find!

Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xuan expectantly, muttering something and making gestures.

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

The old man was overjoyed, and quickly took the bottle of refined salt with both hands.

Then, after carefully looking at it, he hid the small bottle of refined salt in his bosom.

Immediately, he quickly ran to the side hut, took off the bunches of peppers, and handed them to Li Xuan respectfully.

Li Xuan smiled gently, took the pepper and handed it to the guard behind him.

At the same time, he slowly shook his head at the old man, and pointed at the chili strings on the surrounding houses again.

Seeing this, the old man was startled, and then he murmured something to the natives behind him.

The natives were startled, and then hurried to their respective houses.

Then, he took off the peppers and handed them to Li Xuan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

And the old man relaxed a little.

Afterwards, after Li Xuan handed the chili peppers to the guards behind him, he looked around the small village with curiosity again.

This time, these natives looked at Li Xuan expectantly, without any expression of fear before.

After a while.

Li Xuan stopped at a round pile of firewood.

He took out one and looked at it carefully for a long while. The more he looked, the more he felt that it was corn stalks.

So, he pointed to the corn husks to the old man, and motioned to the old man behind him.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he quickly signaled Li Xuan to follow him.

He brought Li Xuan into a room, and then stopped in front of a large pottery vat.

Open the wooden lid on the clay pot.

Inside, small yellow corn kernels were exposed.

"Master, is this corn?"

On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi couldn't help but brighten their eyes and asked expectantly.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed: "I didn't expect that in this small village, I could find two kinds of gods in succession!"

"Come here, bring me another small bottle of refined salt!"

Li Xuan shouted towards the outside.

Soon, a personal guard took out a small bottle of refined salt again.

Seeing this, the old man was overjoyed.

Li Xuan pointed to the jar of corn and stretched out a finger.

Then, he pointed to the bottle of refined salt and stretched out five fingers!

Seeing this, the old man was stunned, and then his face was filled with anxiety, while he was talking, he was gesticulating randomly.

These corns are all their food, and if they take away five cylinders at once, they will be hungry in the future!

Li Xuan was furious.

The old man suddenly panicked!

Hastily stretched out three fingers, and hastily knelt down.

"Master, this old man is too ungrateful, why don't I go to the town ahead to have a look?"

Behind him, Cheng Chusi looked angry.

"These corns are their rations. If we take them all away, they will starve. Wait, I'll look again. Since they have corn and peppers, they should be growing other crops!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, without any anger.

Immediately, with the old man's frightened expression on his face, he searched around the entire house.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Xuan saw two piles of things still covered with dry mud in a corner, his eyes lit up.

Hastily bent down, picked it up and took a look.

Immediately, he was overjoyed.

"Master, are these sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Behind them, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others stared at the two piles of things for a while, and then they reacted, with surprise on their faces.

"It's sweet potatoes and potatoes!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, and said again: "I didn't expect that in this small village, I could find all of them at once!"

With that said, Li Xuan gestured to the old man again.

Three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes, plus two cylinders of corn, in exchange for a bottle of refined salt.

To this, the old man repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Just when Cheng Chusi and others glared at him, the old man realized that these are troops covered in steel armor and holding long knives, and they are willing to exchange that kind of beautiful and delicious salt with them, they are already very lucky up.

Li Xuan didn't expect that the old man was so knowledgeable.

So, he directly handed the refined salt in his hand to the old man.

The old man thanked again and again.

Immediately, he went out in a hurry and told the natives in the village.

Those people also hurried back to their homes and brought out their corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

While inside the house, Li Xuan walked around and came out after finding nothing else that needed to be brought back to Datang.

Soon, there were two large tanks of corn and three piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes piled up in the courtyard.

"My lord, what shall we do with these items?"

Xue Rengui asked.

"Bring them all back to the ship!"

Li Xuan said.

"Yes!"
