Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved

"And what about this one? There are both green and red varieties."

Jun Yuyan picked up a red vegetable with a green stem, broke it open, and immediately felt a wave of spiciness reach his eyes.

"Why does it slightly resemble the spiciness of Cornus officinalis?"

"It’s a Chili Pepper!" Murong Jiu exclaimed excitedly, taking the Chili Pepper, and smelling it right under her nose, "Do you still remember the beef jerky I had the Merchant Convoy send to you? It was sprinkled with ground Chili Pepper, spice upon spice - so satisfying to eat!"

Jun Yuyan, of course, remembered the jerky. The first bite was so spicy, but the more he ate, the tastier it became.

"At that time, the ships brought Chili Pepper powder, which is ground Chili Pepper, mixed with spices like black pepper, star anise, and cumin. Pour some hot oil over it, soak the jerky in it, and that’s the spicy beef jerky I sent you."

Murong Jiu spoke until she almost salivated, she really liked spicy food a lot.

Besides Sweet Potatoes and Potatoes, which had high yields and could fill the bellies of the common people, what she looked forward to most was growing Chili Peppers.

So, she asked Lady Jing, "How is the yield of the Chili Peppers?"

"The yield is not as high as that of the green beans. After the seedlings mature, they can only grow about as high as a person’s thigh at most. However, it is still flowering, and we need to observe how many Chili Peppers can grow on a single plant."
