"Pick up a widow as a treasure, her head is so green that she doesn't know it, tsk tsk, or if it's a retribution for the world, how did the county magistrate Lin abuse his wife? A childless one is the big one, Just forced the widow to be a flat wife, and if the widow had a false pregnancy, she locked up the wife in the firewood house. That shady method almost cost the life of the widow, but now it’s good. The widow really got it this time. It’s a pity, child It belonged to his brother-in-law, who was already half-dead with rage when he was caught in bed, and even made such a fuss. Order to dip the pig cage."

I don't know how this topic started, but the more Li Kui talked, the more excited he became, and he pointed at the orchid, which made him spit all over his mouth.

Ji Ran was originally focused on the sack that Li Kui brought, but after listening to it for a long time, he couldn't help becoming interested, even if he was dragged away by the topic, he diverted his attention.

"Sisters and brothers are serious enough to just let it go, but they still have secret ties? Leaving aside the human relations, the children born to these two brothers and sisters will not have any problems?" Ji Ran couldn't help but wonder while clicking his tongue. , "Isn't this soaking pig cage shared by men and women?"

"Isn't this a shame?" Li Kui picked up his teacup and sipped his tea, and then continued after putting it down, "Although this matter has long been a secret, I can't bear to deceive myself. Tao Yuan was secretly imprisoned, and Tao's reason for being soaked in a pig cage was not stealing, but poisoning his first wife, and it was not County Magistrate Lin who presided over this matter, but his wife."

Yo, it's quite twisty.

Ji Ran also picked up his teacup and took a sip. He put down the teacup and was about to turn the topic down to something serious, but Li Kui was talking about his excitement and didn't even give him a chance to speak.

"When Tao Shi was soaked in a pig cage, he still yelled and said he was wronged. He said something against the evil, and he was stuffed with a rag before he shouted a few words. That wife's automatic hand, can be regarded as elated." Li Kui shook his head and shook his head, "It's a pity, that Tao Shi had already secretly communicated with the two yamen guards who were imprisoned and guarded the firewood room, so that he was so charming that he deliberately tampered with the bundles and pig cages, so that Tao Shi would die when he entered the water." He ran away, the same thing happened on the other side of the prison. Tao Yuan was allowed to bribe the jailer to escape. This made County Magistrate Lin so angry that his hair almost burst into flames. It's really embarrassing, but luckily the county magistrate Lin caught up with the promotion, otherwise the county magistrate wouldn't have the face to do it."

Ji Ran was just listening to it as a gossip, after all, if he hadn't calculated this matter at the beginning, it is estimated that the scandals in the mansion would not have been exposed so quickly, and he was surprised to hear that the siblings had escaped.However, they calmed down after being shocked. The siblings are like the rats crossing the street after what happened to them. Ji Ran doesn't matter much anymore.

However, Li Kui's gossip wasn't over yet, but his painting style suddenly changed, "However, it is said that the county magistrate Lin was really weird when he caught the rape in bed."

"Oh?" Ji Ran raised his eyebrows cooperatively.

"At that time, county magistrate Lin broke into Tao's room, and the siblings were rolling on the bed in disheveled clothes. They were panicked when they saw the county magistrate, but they couldn't separate their arms. It was magistrate Lin who pulled out the yamen servant. When the sword was slashing and stabbing, the two of them rolled down and separated while dodging. At that time, the siblings looked like they were just waking up from a big dream. The main wife lowered her head for the Tao sisters and younger brothers, and the purpose was revenge, and by the way, remove the thorn in her side." Li Kui is worthy of coming out of the palace, so if he catches the sign, rub it, and then he will get out of the house Big fight.

Ji Ran watched Li Kui pointing at the orchid with his eyes shining, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.Of course he knew that the Tao brothers and sisters had gone against evil, but it was not the county magistrate's wife who lowered his head, but Bai Yiyi, a female ghost, but if he said that the Tao brothers and sisters wronged him because of this, he didn't believe it, at most it was Bai Yiyi. As a result of Yiyi's efforts to fuel the flames, after all, if the two of them were really innocent, they would not be criticized behind the back of the maid. It is not unreasonable to say that there is no wave without wind.

Seeing that Li Kui was about to continue running in the direction of Chaos Power and Monster God, Ji Ran hurriedly coughed on the two of them, "Brother Li must have gained a lot from running the business this time, and he came here so early in the morning to bring good news to my younger brother." Well, the things I want, are there any plans?"

Li Kui was stunned, and then he got out of the gossip in the county magistrate's back house, "I don't know if it's the ones you're looking for, but it looks similar when you look at the pictures and compare them. I brought a sample today. You Let's see if it's right." As he spoke, he got up and pulled the burlap bag at his feet, unsealed it, reached in and grabbed a handful of things and came out.

Almost at a glance, Ji Ran became excited.The red, green, and green peppers that Li Kui is holding are exactly peppers, and there are several varieties, such as Chaotian peppers, millet peppers, and lantern sweet peppers...

Ji Ran stood up suddenly, almost knocked over the teacup in his hand, hurriedly put it on the table, stepped over in a few steps, grabbed the pepper in Li Kui's hand, opened it excitedly, and The corners of his mouth were grinning almost to the back of his ears.

"It's chili, it's chili!" Ji Ran said, picked up a bright red Chaotian pepper and took a bite, immediately the tip of his tongue was drooling from the heat, hissing not to mention the taste, "Aside from chili, what else is there?" ?”

Li Kui brought out several more one after another, namely Zanthoxylum bungeanum, star anise, white sesame, and ginger.

Although there are still a few of Ji Ran's original paintings, it is possible to collect so many, which is enough for him to be pleasantly surprised.

"These things are not available in the market. I have searched many places, but I have already given up. I didn't want to meet a horse bandit once. When I was hiding in the mountains, I encountered it by chance. The first thing I found was this chili pepper, which was red and green. Hanging, very eye-catching, and then I simply searched in the mountains, but I didn’t gain much, and after I gained experience, every time I went to a place, I would find time to search in the mountains, and that’s how I found so many in turn.” Li Kui put the things he had caught on the table in piles, picked up a piece of ginger and said, "This ginger grows in the soil, and it was found thanks to the horse kicking its hoof, which kicked it out."

After a pause, Li Kui said in disbelief, "But these things are weird, I'm afraid they are poisonous, and I'm not sure if they're right, so I didn't dare to make more, and I brought some back, and I plan to show you first, okay, today I brought them all, in this bag."

After hearing what Li Kui said, Ji Ran was very surprised. He didn't expect that these condiments, which are perennial in modern times, were regarded as poison in ancient times. If he planted them all, he would be the first People who eat crabs?

Ji Ran was secretly happy in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

"A lot, a lot, I didn't even hold out hope. Brother Li can get back so much in one go, which is far beyond my expectations."

The price was negotiated at the beginning, and there was a deposit, but now that the goods are in hand, there is nothing to argue about. Ji Ran inspected it and it was fine, so Li Kui settled the payment on the spot.

As soon as Li Kui left, Ji Ran was not in a hurry to go out, and couldn't wait to carry his things to the kitchen.When he arrived at the kitchen, he happened to see Zhang Ping chopping firewood. Without saying a word, he dragged him to the kitchen to light the stove.

Breakfast was already served, Zhang Ping didn't know what the master was going to do, and he couldn't do all the work, so he honestly helped to start the fire.

Ji Ran was busy with work, and Lu Zhen followed him quietly. The two of them hadn't communicated with each other all morning because of other people. Only people other than each other can't be tolerated.

Therefore, in such a weird atmosphere, Zhang Ping was obviously dragged by Ji Ran to help in the kitchen. In his opinion, the whole kitchen was just the two of them, master and servant, but he felt nervously that he was a bit redundant.

Zhang Ping: "..."

Although Ji Ran couldn't wait to try the dishes with these condiments, he didn't do it with much fanfare, so he made a simple boiled pork slices.But in fact, what he wants to do is boiled beef. However, it is illegal to eat beef in ancient times, so he has to use pork instead. There is also a fly in the ointment, that is, there is no vegetable oil, and the spicy oil is replaced by lard.

Even though the cottage is a bit fake, it does not lack spicy and delicious flavor, but it lacks a little taste, but it can be regarded as a rare delicacy.

As soon as the dish was cooked, Ji Ran couldn't wait to taste it with his chopsticks. The moment the spicy and delicious aroma exploded on the tip of his tongue, he half-closed his eyes enjoying it.After such a long period of clear water, the mouth has faded out of the bird, and today it can be regarded as improved.

After Ji Ran tasted it by himself, subconsciously, it was like holding a chopstick for Lu Zhen to taste, and as soon as he handed out the chopsticks, he woke up.Thinking of Lu Zhengui's identity, he fed the meat slices into his mouth with some frustration. It had the same taste, but he couldn't share it with Lu Zhen, and suddenly it became dull.

Ji Ran sighed, put down his chopsticks immediately, and waved to Zhang Ping who was swallowing in secret, "Take it down and let everyone taste it." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the kitchen sullenly.

Lu Zhen glanced at the boiled pork slices with dark eyes, sighed, and followed Ji Ran out of the kitchen.Seeing no one around, he took two steps forward and grabbed Ji Ran's hand.

"Brother Ji..."

"It's just a bowl of boiled pork slices. There will be opportunities in the future." Before Lu Zhen could finish speaking, Ji Ran smiled comfortingly.

"Actually..." Lu Zhen scratched Ji Ran's palm with his thumb, "I can't eat, but I can suck."

"That's different." Ji Ran sighed, "Forget it, pack up and go out, let's go to Lizheng's house." He was covered in soot, so he had to go back to his room and change his clothes first.

After returning to the room and changing clothes, Ji Ran and Lu Zhen went out together.

Although it is rare to see clear weather, the snow is not easy to walk at all. It is as shallow as ankles and as deep as knees. It is really difficult to walk.Ji Ran walked this way, thanks to Lu Zhen's support, he was relatively brisk.

The two rushed to Li Zheng's house, and Xue Zhongwen was already there.The other party had obviously been here for a long time, and when he saw Ji Ran enter the door, he immediately stood up, with an unconcealable eagerness and anxiety on his face.

"Master Lizheng." Ji Ran entered the door, first saluted Lizheng who was seated above him, and then turned around and apologized to Xue Zhongwen, "I'm sorry to keep Uncle Xue waiting for a long time because of a temporary delay at home. "

"No." Xue Zhongwen said hurriedly.Secondly, he was full of anxiety, just worried that Ji Ran would regret not coming, now that he saw someone coming, he felt relieved.

Ji Ran smiled politely, then turned to Li Zheng, "Uncle Xue should have told Master Li Zheng the purpose of our trip."

Li Zheng smiled and stroked his beard and nodded, "Well, it's all agreed, then I, the old man, won't mix things up randomly, so let's do whatever we want."

Hearing this, Xue Zhongwen hurriedly took out several land deeds and presented them to Li Zheng with both hands, Ji Ran gave the money, Li Zheng stamped it, and the land transaction came to an end so quickly and accurately.

After finalizing the land matter and saying goodbye to Lizheng, Xue Zhongwen followed Ji Ran without saying a word.

Ji Ran brought him back, and also threw it to Gao Dazhuang to arrange. He was getting hot and teased the baby who had just woken up for a while, so he pulled Lu Zhen into the kitchen and continued to study the recipes.

Ji Ran is obsessed with cooking, while thinking about planting, but he doesn't know that another troublesome matter is about to come to his door.
