Abduct a general to farm

After going up the mountain, Mo Ran's footsteps became slower and slower, and Li Xiu also slowed down, gradually they fell behind.

Mo Ran moved closer to Li Xiu, and said in a low voice, "Well, do you think there's anything wrong?"

Li Xiu was in a trance, and Mo Ran didn't care about the difference between men and women. He was very close to him at this time, so close that he could feel Mo Ran's temperature: "What's wrong?"

He felt that everything was normal, and there was no disturbance in the mountains, and no animals came out.

"That's right." Mo Ran glanced behind him, there was no one, but the quietness made him a little scared, and he couldn't help but shrink back to Li Xiu: "You don't have the kind of person who secretly has someone staring at you all the time." Do you feel it, it's creepy."

It was as if he was a prey, being watched by the hunter's dangerous eyes.

Li Xiu frowned, and his expression became more serious. He didn't notice anything, but he still looked around and didn't feel anything unusual, so he could only shake his head.

Maybe it was just his own illusion, but Mo Ran still had doubts, as if he said to himself: "Okay, but it feels like someone is following us."

After arriving at the place, a man wearing short-sleeved coarse cloth clothes, muscular body, tall and strong, and a bearded man shook his arms and said in a loud voice: "Here we are, the big guy wants to The hunters follow me, let's go further in, we must hunt some fat prey back today, the family is almost unable to open the pot."

The villagers all laughed, knowing that he was only joking.Soon those who wanted to hunt all walked out of the team and walked in mightily.

The remaining few scattered in place, each looking for his own.

But Li Xiu didn't leave.

He said: "Miss Mo, I'd better follow you, the two of us shouldn't go inside, we won't be able to beat any animals."

Mo Ran didn't intend to go deep today, so he nodded casually, paying attention to the ground while walking.There are weeds growing wildly around their feet. If you want to find some other plants and don't pay attention to the ground, it is easy to ignore them.

Mo Ran asked casually while watching: "Li Xiu, besides the common medicinal herbs, are there any other unusual plants on the back mountain, such as the fruit that grows, what can you eat?"

Li Xiu was puzzled: "Edible plants? Isn't it wild vegetables? There are many wild vegetables on the mountain."

"No, what I want to ask is not this, but the plants that you think are very strange. I know wild vegetables are everywhere."

And even though the quantity is large, the taste is so-so. It tastes astringent and sticks in the throat. He doesn't like it at all.

"A strange plant..." Li Xiu recalled, her eyes lit up after a while, and she said happily: "I really think of a plant when you say that, but I don't know if it is the one you want, because its The taste is so choking that many people can't stand it, and we won't eat it."

"So you can't eat it?"

Li Xiu nodded naturally: "I can't eat it, but if you want to see it, I can take you to see it. I still remember where it grows."

Stimulating smell... Mo Ran thought of a plant, but he was not sure. Of course, he would not miss this opportunity if he could have a look, so he followed Li Xiu immediately.

The place was not far away, and they arrived in no time.

The woods there are not lush enough, there is an open space in the middle, apart from the sparse bushes and weeds, there are more green plants with many branches, almost as tall as Mo Ran, hidden among the branches. A lot of yellow-green, pepper-like fruits, and some of them turned red.

Every fruit that can be seen is as big as two fingers.

"that's it."

Li Xiu pointed to the plant and said, and then saw Mo Ran walking over with an excited expression he had never seen before, tearing off a red fruit and about to stuff it into his mouth, he said quickly: "Wait, this one can not eat……"

Mo Ran had already taken a bite while speaking, Li Xiu gradually silenced, observing Mo Ran's situation nervously, waiting for Mo Ran to rush to rescue him if something went wrong.

The red tip was bitten off. I haven’t tried the taste of chili for a long time. For a while, the spicy and stimulating taste hit Mo Ran’s taste buds, and my throat became a little itchy. I wanted to cough but couldn’t cough. Eye sockets full.

Mo Ran's eyes were reddened by the heat, and all the facial features on his face wrinkled.

Li Xiu walked over nervously: "Ms. Mo, are you okay? Is there something wrong with your body? I just said this is not edible, it's too choking."

Li Xiu looked at Mo Ran's red eyes distressedly, thinking that he was crying in pain, and blamed herself for not stopping what Mo Ran was holding earlier.

After waiting for a while, Mo Ran regained his strength, coughed twice, tightly clenched the pepper in his hand, did not answer Li Xiu's concerned question, but said excitedly:

"It can be eaten! This one can be eaten! Let's pick these back soon. I know what can be done with these. It's great. There are chili peppers here. You still think it's not delicious. It's just too wasteful. I don't know Can the bamboo baskets be filled? By the way, Li Xiu, can you transplant some of these plants back for me? It’s too slow to grow them with seeds. It would be great if I could move them all back.”

Mo Ran thought greedily, but he also knew that it was impossible, because there were really too many pepper trees growing here, and he would be very satisfied if he could pick all the peppers.

This is chili!Hot peppers!

With chili, you can cook a lot of delicacies, which is the first step in making money in the future.

He was so happy that he wanted to turn around, and he was glad that he asked Li Xiu too much, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find it here, and he would have missed such a good thing.

He decided to go home and make some chili sauce into chili sauce for Li Xiu!

"It's delicious?" Li Xiu was a little puzzled. He had picked it and tasted it when he went up the mountain before. The taste made him feel uncomfortable, but now Mo Ran actually said it was delicious. Could it be that he hasn't eaten it for a long time? Does it taste better?

After hesitating for a moment, he picked one and put it in his mouth to chew. The next second his face changed, he spat out the contents of his mouth, and then he coughed earth-shatteringly, his face flushed red, and his tears were also stimulated.

"Huh? Li Xiu, can't you eat spicy food?" Mo Ran apologized.

"Too, too choking, ahem..." Li Xiu said while covering her neck.

"Ah..." Mo Ran recalled the taste, it seemed to be many times hotter than modern ones, very choking, even he had to slow down for a while, and because he was happy at the time, he didn't care too much.

"Are you okay, do you want to drink some water?" Mo Ran took out the water, and Li Xiu drank most of it at once before feeling better: "I don't like this."

Mo Ran apologized and said: "I'm sorry, this kind of chili is too spicy, you may not be able to bear it, but when I go back to make chili sauce, it will be very delicious, although it is still the same spicy, but you only need to add a little bit when eating Yes, anything can be put into chili sauce. Chili is such a taste, people who eat it for the first time may not get used to it, but it will get better after a while.”

"Really?" Li Xiu was a little doubtful, and said again: "It turns out that this thing is called chili pepper. I have never heard of it. How do you know it is called by this name and it can still be eaten? And what is chili sauce?" ? Is it the same as soybean paste?"

"This one……"

Mo Ran was a little flustered for a while, and when he was excited, he forgot to explain how he knew this.Can he say frankly that he is actually a modern person from the future. In his world, there are so many chili peppers, and there are many types, both spicy and non-spicy, and even some places can’t eat chili peppers?It will definitely be treated as an outlier.

He faltered and explained: "Well, that is, I met a group of people before. Their appearance is not the same as ours, and all of them are very tall."

He stretched out his hand and gestured on the top of his head: "I also grew a full beard and looked fierce, but I didn't expect him to be very nice. He showed me a book, which seemed to introduce food. There are not only words but also patterns in the book. I can’t understand the text, but this kind of tree is exactly the same as the picture called pepper in the book. Those people said that the things in the book are edible, but some people may not be able to accept the taste of some things, and some need to be dealt with. I When I saw this kind of tree just now, I thought of that book. The chili sauce is also on it.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiu anxiously, only to see that Li Xiu chose to believe him without hesitation: "The people you mentioned may be from the Western Regions, and they are generally taller and rougher than our people in the Yuan and Xia Dynasties, and there are also people there. There are a lot of delicacies that we don’t have here, but we didn’t expect to have them here.”

"Yeah, I think it's not like we don't have those here, but no one knows what it is. It seems that the back mountain is really a treasure, and there may be many other things."

"Ah."

"Since Miss Mo, you want it, otherwise let's put this first, what is it called, pepper, yes, pick the pepper, if it doesn't fit, I can also fill it here."

He pointed to the bamboo basket behind him: "It's just that we don't have any tools for digging, so we can only dig these trees tomorrow."

"Then pick the peppers first, we won't be able to get that much after digging up the tree."

They divided into two groups, and the two picked one by one, one on the left and one on the right, but they still couldn't pack it all in the end, because there were more peppers than Mo Ran imagined.

"We can't pretend anymore, let's go back first and come back tomorrow." Mo Ran said to Li Xiu, Li Xiu nodded and said yes.

After going down the mountain, Li Xiu helped to carry the things to Mo Ran’s house, and then poured them all into a basket. Mo Ran looked at Li Xiu’s empty bamboo basket, and then remembered that Li Xiu went up the mountain to dig herbs and firewood, but now for Help him bring the chili back, and he didn't do anything.

"Let's each have half of these peppers, you deserve it."

Li Xiu put the bamboo basket on her back and refused, "No need, I don't know how to deal with these, and my family doesn't like to eat them either."

Mo Ran thought for a while, and suggested: "Okay, then I'll make some chili sauce first, and I'll share some with you when it's ready, and you can put it directly in the food when you eat, even if it's just rice, you can eat it with chili sauce." It’s very delicious. I’ll let you know when it’s ready, and you can’t say no, or I’ll be angry, and I don’t like my friends always rejecting me.”

friend……

Li Xiu savored these two words carefully, so Miss Mo regarded him as a friend.He smiled bitterly, looked at Mo Ran's beautiful face, and said in a low voice, "Okay, thank you Miss Mo."

After all, he is not worthy of Mo Ran, so it's not bad to be friends, as long as Mo Ran doesn't look down on him, then Li Xiu will always be Mo Ran's friend.

"Hi." Mo Ran waved his hand: "I've already said that we are friends, why do you still call me Miss Mo, you can just call me by my name."

Li Xiu was a little embarrassed, it seemed that they were a little too close.

"What? Don't you want to be my friend? Or is my name too ugly and you don't want to call it?"

"No." Li Xiu hurriedly said: "It's just... I know, Mo, Mo Ran."

Only then did Mo Ran smile with satisfaction. To be honest, he really likes Li Xiu, a friend who is only 15 years old. In modern times, he is only a junior high school student. In his eyes, he is regarded as a younger brother, but he already has to run around for a living.He felt that Li Xiu was very sincere, hardworking and capable, and willing to help him. The most important thing was that he was pleasing to the eye, so he decided to make Li Xiu his friend.

No matter where you are, interpersonal relationships are the most important, and multiple friends have multiple paths.This sentence applies no matter what.
