Autumn is a season of harvest.

As the ships of people left the Weishui Wharf, the policy of Li Shimin's enthronement of the children of the royal family overseas began to be formally implemented.

Li Kuan was not idle either. Wu Meiniang and Cheng Jingwen gave birth to a son and a daughter for him one after another, and the Chu Palace immediately became very lively.

Under the leadership of Xiao Yumi, a group of little overlords either teased their servants in the Chu Palace or tossed around in Chang'an City.

However, even the Changsun family and Gao family who had objections to the Chu Palace did not dare to easily catch Xiao Yumi.

After years of running-in, they have figured it out.

Anyone who wants to deal with Xiao Yumi or Li Kuan's other children is to declare war on the Chu Palace.

If it is confirmed that the Changsun family arranged people to deal with Xiao Yumi, the people from the Chu Prince's Mansion may even directly attack the Changsun Mansion.

Of course no one wants to see this.

"Prince, all the peppers in the experimental fields beside the Wei River have turned red. It should be time to pick them."

Qing'er knew that her husband was a hot party, so she was very concerned about the changes in the chili field outside.

"The peppers are ripe? So, your hot pot restaurant can finally start to expand?"

Li Kuan has always been watching the fun but supporting the hotpot restaurant created by Cheng Jingwen and the others.

The Chu Palace must be worth the money.

However, there is nothing bad about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"After having these thousands of acres of peppers as seeds this year, the planting area of ​​peppers next year should be a very exaggerated number.

Basically, as long as you want to buy chili, you should be able to buy it on the market.

To a certain extent, you have found a way for the people of Guanzhong to become rich."

Although Wu Meiniang had just given birth to a child less than a month, her overall condition has recovered very well.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

On the one hand, the conditions in the Chu Prince's Mansion are very good, so naturally there is nothing to lack and nothing to worry about.

On the other hand, the most important thing is that Wu Meiniang and the others are still young.

Although they have been married for more than ten years, they are actually in their twenties.

A woman of this age has a much better recovery ability than a woman in her thirties or forties.

Even in another half a year, no one could tell that Wu Meiniang had just given birth to a child this year.

"Prince, didn't you say before that all children need to use new types of animals and plants to name nicknames?

I guess the reputation of this little pepper will definitely become famous with the spread of peppers in the future.

Whether it is small corn, potato, or sweet potato, they are not as controversial as chili.

People who like it like it very much, and people who don’t like it can’t eat it even if they don’t.”

Cheng Jingwen sat a little lazy, making fun of Li Kuan's name.

"You don't know how good chili is. In addition to adding it to the base of hot pot when eating hot pot, many stir-frying dishes can be added with chili.

For example, the fried soybean dish is a very ordinary home-cooked dish? If you throw a few chili into the oil pan when cooking, the taste will be completely different."

As a spicy party, although Li Kuan is not very good at eating spicy food, he likes spicy food.

Whether it is hot pot, stir-frying, or other foods, if there are chili or hot sauce, the taste will be completely different.

Even when eating, it is excellent to just make a spoonful of hot sauce.

Thinking of the spicy sauce, Li Kuan immediately took notice.

"By the way, after picking the chili this time, go to the glass workshop to customize a batch of peeling jars, and you can try to make some hot sauce.

With spicy sauce at that time, Datang's demand for chili will be higher.

Anyway, the food problem is no longer so serious now. I heard from Liaodong Road that this year is another bumper year.

If it weren't for the large amount of rice being used to make wine, the price of rice would probably have dropped by 10% or 20% this year."

The low grain hurts the farmers.

Li Kuan still understands this principle.

Nowadays, there are potatoes, corn, and double-season rice in the Tang Dynasty.

The large-scale development of Liaodong Road and Jiangnan Road was carried out, and the demand for food was not that high.

Or to put it another way, for most people, there is no need to worry too much about starving to death.

Of course, if everyone can eat enough, it is not at this level.

In the absence of oil and water, if you really let go and let all people eat openly, then the demand for food can at least double.

Although the Tang Dynasty would not immediately fall into a state of shortage of food, it is impossible to say that there is enough food.

So the current situation in the Tang Dynasty is a bit contradictory.

On the one hand, the food prices on the market have dropped steadily, which is obviously a bit oversupply.

But on the other hand, not every person can really eat enough.

"Is hot sauce? If there is such a thing, everyone's demand for chili peppers will be much more.

I see that many of those who go to eat hot pot are still unsatisfied after eating.

Almost every day, guests ask if there is any chili sold."

Wu Meiniang’s business vision is unquestionable.

Although hot sauce may not bring much benefits to the Chu Prince's Mansion, this business is definitely worthy of vigorous development.

Even if the Chu Prince's Mansion itself does not make every effort to develop, it can allow other families with good relationships to bet on the hot sauce industry.

However, the threshold for this industry is obviously relatively low.

It is hard to say whether these nobles can have fought against ordinary people by then.

"Your Majesty, I guess there will be no shortage of chili peppers starting this year, so the promotion of chili peppers is a question that needs to be considered. I think we can first launch some spicy dishes in Diandude and Mizuosu, and slowly make spicy dishes a new dish in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the demand for chili peppers will naturally surge immediately.

Correspondingly, the price of peppers will definitely rise, which should be very beneficial for attracting various companies to grow peppers."

Although Cheng Jingwen doesn't interfere in business matters very much, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything.

Just make a random suggestion to effectively promote the sales and long-term development of peppers.

"We don't have to take the initiative to do this. That guy Fang Yiai probably has targeted the new spicy dishes in our house."

Li Kuan smiled, obviously accusing Cheng Jingwen of this proposal.

After that, someone naturally arranged the matter of picking peppers.

With the ripening of peppers and picking, this fresh thing from South America immediately became the object of heated discussion among the people of Chang'an City.

Many people will try it regardless of whether they like it or not.
