Chapter 55 Chili Seeds
From Gu Yunxian's point of view, although it did take a long time to make the sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch, his own time is free. How can anyone count how long it took like his sister-in-law?
But what surprised him was that the old shopkeeper also agreed to this method. While he was thinking about it by himself, the boy on the other side had already weighed it.

"This noodle weighs 25 catties, the sweet potato vermicelli skin weighs [-] catties, and the sweet potato noodles weighs [-] catties."

The old shopkeeper pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Let's roughly calculate these too! Little lady, how many catties did you put in these?"

Seeing what the old shopkeeper said, Yin Ziying was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, all of these don't add up to much."

The old shopkeeper nodded, and said to the boy, "Then add 20 Wen!"

The young man nodded, and then said to the old shopkeeper, "Boss, the dishes just now cost 350 a catty."

"350 a catty, this time seems to be a bit more than last time!"

The old shopkeeper got up with a smile, and went to the counter to get the abacus. Yin Ziying followed directly without being greeted.

She roughly calculated that today these sweet potato vermicelli, sweet potato vermicelli and starch add up to a total of 1125 coins, and if the old shopkeeper just added the 20 coins for the things that were just cooked, it would be 1145 arts.

In addition to the 351 catties of vegetables that the little guy just said, the total is 1755 Wen. If you calculate it, all the things this time add up to two taels of silver and 900 Wen.

Sure enough, not long after, the number calculated by the old shopkeeper was the same as that calculated by herself. Yin Ziying had already thanked the old shopkeeper after receiving the silver and was about to leave.

Before leaving, she glanced at the table she was sitting on just now, and then she looked at the old shopkeeper and said:

"By the way, old shopkeeper, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Oh, there is something, what is it?" The old shopkeeper raised his eyebrows.

Yin Ziying pointed to the hot and sour powder and said: "Old shopkeeper, I just saw that you have this thing here. I don't know where you bought it? I was looking for it at the grain store in the town before, but I couldn't find it. thing."

Seeing Yin Ziying pointing her fingers at the bowl of hot and sour noodles, the old shopkeeper was taken aback, then nodded and said with a smile:

"Well, I just wanted to tell you about it. You little lady has seen this spicy thing before, but I didn't expect to go in and pick it out like this."

Seeing Yin Ziying's dazed look, the old shopkeeper said: "It is said that this thing came from the south, but we don't have it now, it was brought back by our boss.

Our boss said, let us try to figure out how to make this spicy pepper in every shop.

The chef in our previous store also tried several times, but failed to make anything delicious.I didn't expect you to use it this time, it tastes much better than those chefs made before. "

Yin Ziying's eyes lit up: "It came from the south? Is there such a thing in the south now? Old shopkeeper, can you tell me how much this thing costs? Can you..."

She wanted to ask if they could ask their boss to bring some more for her when they look for them next time. It would be best if they had seeds.

Although the ones she used to make hot and sour powder just now are said to be dried chilies, there are also some seeds that she has secretly collected, but she doesn't know if they will survive.

If the owner of the Cuixian Tower can still get it, then it would be the most suitable.

Seeing that she was so interested, the old shopkeeper immediately said: "Little lady, this hot pepper is not cheap, if it is only for satisfying the appetite, it is unnecessary."

He pointed and said: "This thing should cost seventy or eighty yuan a catty, but our boss didn't buy much at the time, because he was afraid that it wouldn't taste good, so he wasted the money. "

Seventy or eighty cents a catty, Yin Ziying's heart skipped a beat, the price is really not cheap, but what she lacks now is not the money, but the seeds.

So what about seventy or eighty Wen a catty?As long as she can buy it, she is willing, she smiled at the old shopkeeper and said:
"To tell you the truth, old shopkeeper, I actually saw it in the book before, and I didn't expect it to be there, so I made this thing for you when I just made it, thinking that the taste should be good?

Now it seems that it is so.Shopkeeper, I think so, if you have some, can you buy some for me?I can give you money here. "

The old shopkeeper was stunned: "Little lady, it turns out that you didn't want to eat this, but to grow it! Let me tell you, this spicy pepper is not easy to grow.

I heard that some people in Fucheng tried to plant it, but all of them died, and none of them succeeded.You still don't try it. "

Yin Ziying nodded: "Of course I know that this stuff is difficult to grow, but I still want to try it. To tell you the truth, the smell of this pepper and its smell make me fall in love with it.

This thing is so expensive, if I buy it as a home-cooked dish, I will definitely not be willing to part with it, but if I buy it as a seed and plant it, there may be harvest in the future, I am more willing to part with it. "

She lowered her head in embarrassment, seeing her like this, the old shopkeeper understood.

He nodded, then looked back at the young man and said, "I remember they scraped off some of the seeds when they got that thing before, right? Go find it, and if you have any, give this little lady a copy." Son."

When Yin Ziying heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "This, how embarrassing this is."

"This is a trivial matter. The hot pepper seeds have become like this. We don't know if we can plant them again. You can take them back and try! Let me tell you first, you can't blame me if this thing doesn't grow, but if you Planted..."

He thought about it, smiled and said to Yin Ziying: "If it is really planted, if you sell it at that time, it will be cheaper to sell it to us in Cuixianlou."

Hearing the old shopkeeper's words, Yin Ziying hurriedly responded with a smile. Although she was not sure if those pepper seeds would survive if they entered her space, it would be great if they could survive.

As for what the old shopkeeper said, if the plant is ready, it will be cheaper to sell it to Cuixianlou, so why not?After all, the spicy seeds were given by the old shopkeeper.

The so-called grace of dripping water should spring up!Even if she wants to send a batch of peppers to the old shopkeeper for free, she will be happy!

Not long after, the boy took out a small oil-paper-wrapped chili seed in his hand:

"Little lady, take it! These are the chili seeds peeled off by the chef behind us. It is said that the chili seeds are more spicy when put into the dish! You can keep it."

Yin Ziying thanked again and again, and then she took Gu Yunxian and left Cuixian Tower together.
