Chapter 49 Pepper Poisonous
Half an hour later, Su Huan prepared two pots of steaming spicy braised chicken.

"Brother, you take this to Manfeng Tower to eat first." Su Huan said. "Come back to me after you finish eating and get the roast chicken for Mr."

"Okay, okay." The senior brothers couldn't guess Su Huan's intentions, so they just followed suit. The three of them took the spicy yellow stewed chicken and walked towards Manfeng Tower in light snow.

There are too many delicious dishes with chili. Su Huan chose a simple braised chicken. Those who don't know how to eat spicy food will definitely feel hot and sweat profusely after eating it.

There were not many people on the street, but there were quite a few people in Manfenglou, and the drama of the case of guillotine beauty echoed throughout the building.

Even in the cold weather, there are still many talented people who come to watch this opera.

Wang Qiansan and the others walked into Manfenglou carelessly, holding a food box in their hands, emitting fragrance continuously along the way.

The people around were attracted by the scent, and looked at the three of them, focusing on the food box carried by Wang Qian.

"Xiao Er, serve a cup of hot wine."

Wang Qian chose a table with a lot of people nearby, and then put the food box on the table.

Many pairs of eyes glanced over, and the fragrance was really alluring.

Among the crowd, there were many talented people who knew Wang Qian, so they immediately left their table and walked over.

"Brother Wang."

Wang Qian looked up. "Brother Sun, how are you doing these days?"

"so far so good!"

Sun Xiucai sat down on his own, looking at the food box on the table, hesitating to speak.

"Brother Sun wants to eat?" Wang Qian asked.

Sun Xiucai was slightly embarrassed. "Sun thinks he has eaten delicious food all over the world, but he has never smelled this fragrance. Brother Wang, I don't know what kind of delicacies are in this food box."

"Smell and see!" Lao Zhang pretended to be sophisticated, he could only understand that Su Huan intended to promote chili.

Sun Xiucai stretched out his head and smelled it carefully.

Very fragrant, super fragrant.

Sun Xiucai only felt that his saliva was secreting vigorously. This is a real delicacy.

Due to the scarcity of materials in the Daxing Dynasty, the food sector was not prosperous. For many people, it would be good to be full.

"Brother Zhang, Mr. Sun really can't smell it. Dare I ask Brother Zhang, what is it?"

"This is said to be cooked with chili peppers, and it's called braised chicken." Zhang Shou took off the lid, and the aroma wafted around.

The servant who came to deliver the wine stopped in front of the table, staring intently at the braised chicken on the table.

"Wine!" Zhang Shou yelled twice, and the servant finally realized that he quickly apologized and put down the hot wine.

When walking, I turned my head three times at a step, and I have never smelled this kind of fragrance after being a servant for so many years.

Many talented scholars poked their heads over to watch, because they didn't know the three of them, so it was hard to turn their faces and walk over.

"It's better to come early than coincidentally. Brother Su, let's stay and eat together."

Sun Xiucai agreed without even thinking about it.

Wang Qian and the others sat in the middle of the hall to eat, and the aroma spread, attracting more people to watch.

A few people stuck out their tongues out of the heat, and only took off their thin clothes on a snowy day.

By the looks of it, it seems delicious.

Everyone couldn't eat, so they could only watch, smelling the aroma and salivating.

"I want that dish!"

"I'm sorry, guest officer, this is not the dish of this building!"

"What a dilapidated restaurant!"

……

In a room in the backstage of the restaurant, the owner of Manfenglou sat in and drank tea by himself. He visited Su Huan three or four times, but was rejected and bribed the servant.

I can't find any news here, and the big shots above are eager to ask for it, which is really annoying.

"Lord, I got it. The aroma comes from a delicacy called Braised Chicken." A servant walked into the room.

"What is braised chicken?" asked the landlord.

“Chili served with raw chicken.”

"Chili pepper?" the owner of Manfeng Tower was excited. "Come and see with me."

The four of them were eating happily when suddenly a middle-aged man appeared. "Brother, is this stewed chicken for sale? I'll pay ten taels."

Wang Qian glanced at him. "Not for sale." Then he turned to look at Sun Xiucai. "Come on, keep drinking."

The owner of Manfeng Tower rarely shows his face, so not many people know him.

The owner of Manfeng Tower is not embarrassed. "Then, this talented man, can you have a glass of wine with me? I'll treat you to him."

Wang Qian and the others looked at this rich middle-aged man and thought about it. "sit down!"

At the invitation of Wang Qian, the owner of Manfenglou also tried the braised chicken. It was so spicy that he coughed, but he also felt very hot and wanted to take off his clothes.

After eating, a few people found a group of people around them, swallowing their saliva, but they didn't step forward because of face.

Wang Qian and the others achieved their goal, they patted their buttocks and returned to their orders.

The owner of Manfenglou has also achieved his goal. He hurried back to his room to write a letter, informing the big shots in Beijing that chili has the effect of resisting the cold.

In less than three days, the owner of Manfenglou came to the door, and Su Huan met this time.

When the host saw the germinated chili sprouts, he sighed at the wonder, and finally told Su Huan that he had the intention to buy chili peppers. Unexpectedly, Su Huan opened his mouth, and sold four taels of chili sauce for 40 taels of silver, and it was limited, so he was full of anger The owner of Fenglou turned around and left.

Su Huan didn't keep it, until the next day, the owner of Manfenglou came back again, endured the pain and bought ten bottles.

Many people are spreading the effect of chili, which is to resist the cold.

This is a rare effect. In this cold weather, everyone wants to eat some warm food.

Su Huan's peppers really germinated, and the news spread in Lin'an, which made the peppers even more mysterious.

Less than half a day after the news came out, Manfenglou was selling hot peppers, a small bottle of hot peppers for 50 taels of silver.

But there are many people who are willing to try something new. After repeated bargaining, a servant bought the first bottle of chili sauce.

After leaving Manfeng Tower, the servant looked back repeatedly, sneaking around, and finally left Lin'an and went to the magistrate's house.

Ever since he tried chili peppers, the magistrate has become addicted. He just didn’t expect chili peppers to protect against the cold. That’s great. He’s afraid of heavy snow. And.

That night, the magistrate ate the chili stewed mutton. It was so spicy that his face was flushed, but he was very addicted.

In less than three days, the peppers were sold out.

However, there was a rumor in Lin'an that the son of the gentry Li's family fell ill in bed because of eating chili peppers. His body was not cold before, but now his limbs are cold.

For a time, rumors that peppers were poisonous were spreading.

Some people said that this chili pepper was probably not a new thing, but something that was discarded by the ancestors. It was picked up by Su Huan to deceive people. This chili pepper will definitely damage the human body, and Mr. Li's family is the proof.

Most people have never eaten chili, and they don't know who to listen to for a while.

A day later, A Niu from Fugui Street picked up the chili peppers that Li's family had thrown away and ate it. He also fell ill and lay in bed unable to sell sesame seed cakes.

"What did you do?" Xu Youping looked at the chili sauce in front of the county magistrate's mansion, his voice was flat.
