Daughter's Space: Yipin Pastoral Concubine

Chapter 175 177: Unexpected harvest
"Sure enough, he's still a little guy..." Facing the breeze blowing towards his face, Su Xi smiled happily.

After coming to Daqingshan, her mood was unprecedentedly good.Not only was the depression of being imprisoned in the Su family for 18 years gone, it also filled her with hope for the future.

"Daqingshan, you gave me so many surprises today. I don't know, what kind of surprises will you give me next?!"

She was surprised by how much she gained in such a short period of time, and it also gave her more confidence in discovering other things.

Perhaps, she could really find a miracle in Daqingshan, and find the few things she wanted.

The road she had chosen was not the one people used to take.Not only is it narrow, but it occasionally slips underfoot.If she hadn't walked carefully, she didn't know how many times she fell.

She is not afraid of falling, but is afraid that if she falls hard, she will have to go home.Those things she wants to find today will have to wait for a while.

The further you go into the mountains, the more types of trees there are, and the older they look.And wherever she walked, the weeds were not only dense, but the length of them would reach her waist.

In order to walk over smoothly, she had to pick up a dead branch to explore the way.While pushing away the weeds poking over, he moved forward with difficulty and carefully.

"Huh, what is this smell...?" As she was walking, she stopped suddenly.

There was some weird smell of numbness faintly in the air, and because the surprise came so suddenly, she couldn't believe it for a moment, she was really so lucky to meet what she wanted.

Whether it is or not, she can't let it go.It would be great if it was exactly what she wanted.

However, the direction of the smell of numbness was not in the same direction as the path she was walking on. She had to get off the path and walk through the weeds that almost reached her waist to really see if it was the one she thought.

The dead tree branch in her hand stretched forward, pushing the weeds vigorously, making a passage that she could barely walk through.

Step by step, she walked towards the direction where the numbing smell came from, and the further she walked, the more likely she was.

Don't you see the numbing smell in the air, getting stronger and stronger as she approached?

And when she followed the tingling smell and finally approached, she finally found what she was looking for.

"This is... the pepper tree?" After seeing the tree in the front, she trotted a few steps excitedly: "It's really a pepper tree! It's really a pepper tree! I found it, I found it!"

There is not only one pepper tree in front of you, but dozens of them form a small forest.

It is spring now, and the pepper tree has not yet produced pepper, only clusters of flowers are competing to open.

Green leaves, white words, tender yellow stamens, like the white snowflakes left in winter in spring.It is also like a butterfly tired from flying, lightly landing on the leaves to rest.

Especially the Zanthoxylum bungeanum growing here in Daqing Mountain, the green is more vivid, and the white flowers are more and more bright.All the clusters of flowers that are illuminated by the sun are shining.

The peel of Zanthoxylum bungeanum can be used as a seasoning, extract aromatic oil, and be used as medicine.The seeds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum can be eaten and processed to make soap.

In addition, pepper can remove the fishy smell of various meats and make the food more delicious.

Moreover, in medicine, Zanthoxylum bungeanum can dilate blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Now looking at the pepper trees glistening in the sun, Su Xi felt that her eyes were shaken.

It is really another big harvest to find the Zanthoxylum bungeanum.You know, all she can use in the kitchen is salt and pepper.

Although you can't eat peppercorns immediately, you will be able to harvest a lot of peppercorns by this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Speaking of which, she felt a little strange.The Qing Kingdom had never appeared in the ancient time and space she traveled through, and it was only when she came here that she knew about the Qing Kingdom.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, which are far away overseas, are on the dinner tables of people in the Qing Kingdom.And it is not just introduced, but has been planted generation after generation, and now the yield is high and the taste is good.

What makes her feel strange is why the seasoning in this time and space is so scarce.

Even during the 18 years in the Su family, she had never heard of it, or seen it.I have never heard of it, but I have seen pepper and aniseed.

There is sauce and soy sauce.That is, soy sauce is not brewed from soybeans, but marinated from fresh meat.Because the price is not cheap, most people eat sauce instead of soy sauce.

There is soy sauce and vinegar.It is said that the origin of vinegar is that vinegar is inadvertently made from distiller's grains.

Soybeans that can be used to make soy sauce are also available in Qingguo.In addition to feeding cows and horses, it is also used to make tofu and raw bean sprouts.

But alone, no one used it to make soy sauce.

After learning about some of Qingguo's diet, she felt strange, but she didn't try to solve the confusion, but put it all in her heart.

I believe that after she found peppercorns today, this is definitely a good thing for people who like heavy flavors.

It is a good thing to cook with peppercorns to enhance the flavor, but it is a pity that it is not the time when peppercorns are ripe.And for her, if she wanted to transplant a prickly ash, it would not be easy.

After all, it would take a lot of effort for her to dig such a big pepper tree.How to bring it back from Daqing Mountain is also a problem.

But if she didn't transplant it, she had to make sure that she could find the peppercorns again after they matured.

She found it by accident, so she had to make a mark along the way so that she could come to pick peppercorns in the future.

At that time, she can invite Mrs. Wu and the others to come with them.However, she still felt that it was a pity that she could not transplant a pepper tree.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning around the pepper forest, wondering if she could find a small pepper tree that she could bring back.

"Why are they so big? They can't be dug out, and they can't be taken away." After turning around a few times, Su Xi had no choice but to give up this idea.

This small pepper forest has some ideas, and for a while, she really couldn't find a small pepper tree.

"Forget it, let's come back when the peppercorns are ripe." After wandering around for a few times, I saw nothing.She also gave up, since she found the pepper tree and it was on Daqing Mountain, she was not afraid of them running away.

Besides, there are pepper trees in Daqingshan, and there may not be no other places.On the contrary, there is no need to transplant the pepper tree back.

Thinking about it, she was about to go back to the narrow mountain road along the path she had driven, but when she found an unexpected surprise.

There was a little regret in her heart, but it was not that strong.After all, she discovered this small piece of pepper grove. Judging from the overgrown weeds around it, no one else has found it, let alone worry about being picked by others first.

"The harvest season is still early, maybe there will be a way at that time."
