Chapter 1628 - 1627: The Charm of Spicy Strips
The Royal Shadow Puppet Theater has launched a new snack: Spicy Strips.
Spicy Strips are made from the legendary chili peppers and jade bamboo, with additional aromatic seasonings. The combination of so many spices creates a rich, stimulating, yet utterly enticing flavor.
Taking the first bite of chili pepper feels like fireworks exploding in your mouth, as if your whole being is about to ignite along with it.
It’s so delicious!
Never before had anyone tasted such a complex yet savory flavor!
In the entirety of Daqi, only a handful of people had ever experienced the taste of chili peppers. Now that chilies had finally been served and sold openly, many rushed to buy Spicy Strips, which were priced ten times more expensive than monkey brains during the competition.
Spicy Strips, such an outrageously tacky name—it’s so tacky it practically buries itself into the earth—but that didn’t affect their taste one bit.
With their vibrant red appearance and enticing aroma, Spicy Strips are made from jade bamboo, a delicious but extremely scarce ingredient, combined with numerous seasonings. Just for their value alone, the fifty taels price tag is absolutely justified.
When people tasted the flavor, many couldn’t help but cry from the spiciness. Prior to this, there had been no chili peppers here; the primary sources of spiciness were cornelian cherry, ginger, and garlic. These spices were hot too, but their heat lacked the pure intensity of chili peppers.
