A Pepper Seedling at the Beginning Made the Whole Capital Cry

There is a saying in Dajing Lingnan: one tael of pepper and half a tael of silver. Counted by the grain at banquets for the rich and powerful, it is difficult for ordinary people to taste it all year round. It is the real black gold from overseas. Lin Zonghuai dressed up as an indebted farm girl who wanted to make a fortune by relying on her ancestral craftsmanship of peppered pork tripe and chicken, but she immediately fell silent after asking about the prices - if she really followed the recipe, she would lose half of her fortune on the day of opening. In a desperate situation, [Passion Spirit Field System] fell from the sky. She was just overjoyed when she saw a solitary pepper seed lying in the reward column. Lin Zonghuai: Are you stingier than a spice merchant? The seedling cultivation cycle was long, so she first set up a small stall selling Cantonese-style porridge, noodles and beef offal, and the fresh vegetables from the Lingtian fields filled the streets with fragrance. She quickly paid off her debts and saved up capital. Traveling alchemist Xie Lingzhou passed by this place and recognized this living pepper vine, which is rare in China. Originally leaving research for "Mountains and Seas Hundred Fragrances Illustrated Chronicles", the cold and distant herbalist scholar took the initiative to adjust the soil and raise the seedlings, and squatted in the kitchen on time every day to wait for tastings, without leaving any trace of travel. Only twelve peppercorns were harvested in the first batch. Others regarded it as a treasure and hoarded heirlooms, so Lin Zonghuai directly organized a "ten thousand gold for a table" tasting banquet, filled the pot with soup, and filled the county gentry with the aroma. The appointment was scheduled for three months. Someone was jealous of her and framed her for smuggling, and the government came to investigate. She took people to see the half-acre pepper orchard, and took advantage of the opportunity to apply for registration for trial farming of mulberry trees - the official seal of trial breeding of exotic species, which is justifiable. The system is unlocked step by step. Shannae, cinnamon, and cloves are planted one after another, and half an acre of barren slope grows into a passion garden. From the county seat to the state capital, the fragrance of her soup is destined to spread further. Xie Lingzhou flipped through the manuscript and thought to himself: I can complete the map of plants and trees, and by the way, leave the pepper grower behind. This trip to Lingnan will be a profitable one.
