Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 13

The middle-aged man was a little surprised.Most of the peppers at this time were tributes, and the folks seldom kept them.This dynasty gave rewards to officials, and if there is pepper among them, it shows the favor, and only the important officials of the court can have this honor.

Today, this small jar was left behind by him at a huge price and favor, in order to give it to the local nobles as gifts.I just heard that the pepper needs to be dried frequently, so I took it out and put it on the counter, which also shows my identity as an official salt merchant.How did this little girl know about things that ordinary people have never heard of?
The middle-aged man tentatively asked, "Did the girl eat it before?"

"It's often used when cooking." Xia Junyan was at a loss, "Stir fry a meat dish, make soup, or add a little bit of noodles to taste better."

"Next?!" The middle-aged man's expression became a little distorted.

He tried his best to stare at Xia Junyan and said, "I'm under Lu Boyuan. I'm the shopkeeper of this shop. I don't know how girls usually use pepper to cook."

Xia Junyan was a little confused, but when the shopkeeper asked her the question so politely, she still replied honestly: "First, grind the pepper into powder. When cooking the noodles, add a little more according to your own taste. Or a little more."

Lu Boyuan stared into Xia Junyan's eyes and listened carefully, making sure that the little girl was not lying.Maybe there are too many peppers in her house, and she obviously doesn't pay attention to pepper.But looking at the little girl's clothes again, is there gold thread in the linen clothes?It is often heard that noble people from above go on tour in micro-clothes. Could it be that this girl is a servant girl of a noble family?Either way, it's always good to be careful.

"The day of the county lord and Jiji is approaching." Lu Boyuan told Xia Junyan the reason for preparing the pepper. If there was really someone behind her, the news would be a good sell to that person.

"Oh." It's a pity that Xia Junyan didn't understand at all, "That's really a big day." She is all about being a responsible cook, so that the strong man can eat to his satisfaction, "Master Lu, you Is this pepper for sale?"

Unexpectedly, the guy got angry, pointed at her and yelled, "You——you're deceiving people too much!!!"

Xia Junyan didn't expect it, her expression was a little surprised, but also a little innocent.

Lu Boyuan sighed, why not eat minced meat.The little girl was so careless, and she didn't intend to offend when she saw her expression. This only shows that she didn't realize how rude her actions were just now.Or it could be said that she did this kind of behavior a lot, and everyone around her was used to it.

"Since it's not for sale, then I'm leaving." After a moment of confrontation, Xia Junyan left the salt shop with the salt jar in her arms.

She just felt that today's experience was weird, but it was also a kind of talk.After going up the mountain tomorrow, you can talk to the strong man, so as not to be too embarrassing for the two of you to be speechless.
