Beasts start from stone

Chapter 323 Controlled Articles

Among vegetables, there seems to be a secret medicine that can purify both body and mind.

Xu Qingge likes vegetables very much, not only because they are easy and time-saving to prepare, but also because they are filling, delicious and low in calories.

Of course, Xu Qingge is not obsessed with getting in shape. For pure green cuisine, it may be difficult to satisfy carnivore Jennifer.

Adhering to the principle of doing as the Romans do, she decided to use the precious and fresh ingredients here to make a delicious meal for lunch today.

"Kri."

"It's true of you, if I can't fly, I will be left behind by you."

Arthur caught up with a smile, which showed that she didn't feel much dissatisfaction with "leaving Chad behind to fight".

"I'm sorry, Arthur."

Jennifer also smiled and apologized. Compared with such a trivial matter, catching up with lunch was the right thing to do.

"Okay..."

Before Xu Qingge finished speaking, a familiar pet beast appeared in her view.

It was a solitary green-sleeved butterfly.

Xu Qingge felt a little strange. Logically speaking, Jennifer ran at least several thousand meters, and it was impossible to catch up with him at the speed of the Green Striped Sleeve Butterfly.

It is precisely because of its slow flight speed that the green-sleeved butterfly will risk its life when being preyed on, entangling the hunter to buy time for its companions to escape.

No matter what, Chad couldn't fly so fast.

Seeing the other party flying in his direction, Xu Qingge couldn't help but mutter in his heart:

(Either it’s not the same one, or it may have learned some speed-enhancing moves.)

Xu Qingge also tried to get his attention away from the green-sleeved butterfly.

As long as you don't care, Xu Qingge stretched his brows and began to look for the thing he was looking for.

But for some reason, she couldn't find what she wanted in the market.

"Jennifer, have you ever heard of chili peppers?"

"It is a plant with single leaves and alternate leaves and red fruits."

Yes, the plant Xu Qingge was looking for was pepper.

Whether it’s Mapo Tofu or any other dish, chili peppers are an indispensable part of Longhua cuisine.

You can’t see chili peppers in markets or markets, which is really strange.

Although this kind of thing is not produced in Boi, since Wanle has eaten Mapo tofu, it means that chili pepper has been introduced to various countries.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Xu Qingge's description, Jennifer took out her ears and pulled out a bag from her ears.

It untied the knot on the bag with difficulty, and the spicy smell came out from inside. It was chili pepper, the kind of dried chili pepper that is suitable for preservation.

"Eh?"

Xu Qingge was stunned for a moment and asked quickly:

"Why do you have something that isn't even sold in wet markets and bazaars?"

Jennifer did not answer this question directly, but put on a curious face and asked:

"Why do you think chili peppers appear in the wet market, little lady?"

? !

Why do chili peppers appear in wet markets?

This question may stump anyone with normal understanding.

"If you want to ask me this, I can't answer it."

Xu Qingge is a nutritionist, but has little understanding of how Longhua people started eating chili peppers.

She only vaguely remembered that peppers were originally an ornamental plant, and only later did they start to be used in recipes. Although chili peppers are extremely nutritious, many pets are resistant to its taste. Giving chili peppers to fire-type pets is just a plot that appears in TV dramas.

More often, the pet animal that has eaten the pepper will lie on the ground and roll around. At this time, you need to quickly call the hotline of the pet hospital and feed the pet a large amount of milk.

This is because the spiciness of chili peppers can irritate the gastric mucosa of pets, causing stomach diseases, oral ulcers and gastroenteritis.

Although this situation will gradually slow down as the pet beast evolves.

However, after much discussion, the question "Pet animals cannot eat chili peppers" still appeared in the first-grade primary school textbooks as temporary common sense.

"Is this kind of thing edible?"

Because the spicy taste made Arthur panic, she didn't think it was something edible.

So Arthur dipped his wings into the pepper pile a little, stuck out his tongue and took a lick.

"Kri?"

After trying a bite, Arthur's reaction was surprisingly bland.

“Because Blue Water Swan has no receptors for capsaicin, you don’t feel the spiciness.”

"One theory is that because chili peppers need birds to spread their seeds, it chooses to let birds adapt to its own taste."

"More than that, Jennifer, you're telling me that chili peppers are not a food in Poi?"

Jennifer would question whether the chili peppers could be eaten, which was within Xu Qingge's expectation.

Although he looks like a chicken, Jennifer's taste seems to be more like that of a human than that of an ordinary chicken. This may be because the Dream Breed is special.

Of course, this is not a bad thing. It is precisely because Jennifer likes her cooking skills that she turns enemies into friends and becomes partners.

"Oh? I forgot that you are not a citizen of Boi."

Jennifer put away the bag of peppers and stuffed them into her ears again.

Because the humidity in the wet market is a bit heavy, if you just put the dried chili peppers on the ground, it may cause mildew.

Xu Qingge was not surprised that Jennifer's ears could hold things. Maybe it was the effect of the alchemy tools.

After all, this is a magical country, so it is not too strange to have props similar to "space bags".

After collecting the peppers, Jennifer began to tell the story of the peppers.

"Chili peppers are a special 'controlled product' of Boi. Because they can give the concept of pain, they are a type of dangerous goods."

"His Majesty Morgan feels that it is too cruel to cause prisoners to feel pain, so he prohibits its circulation among the people and prohibits its use for interrogation."

"Buying and selling chili peppers is illegal."

Jennifer raised her wings, pretending to be intimidating.

Xu Qingge looked back at the green-sleeved butterfly. Sure enough, perhaps because he smelled the pepper, the green-sleeved butterfly was looking towards him.

However, Xu Qingge didn't take it to heart at all about Jennifer's intimidation and Green Striped Sleeve Butterfly's gaze.

If Morgan was truly a wise king, the law would not be so stingy.

If it was really like what Jennifer said, how could the Green Striped Sleeve Butterfly just watch? He should have rushed up and arrested the three of them.

Xu Qingge understood the reason for Jennifer's bluff.

This is a premium method of profiteers, although Jennifer has become a partner.

But Xu Qingge will never forget that beside her is the number one businessman in Boyi.
