Chapter 147 Ornamental Plants
Cheng Yang looked at Xue Qing, then pointed at the pepper and said, "This should be a flower. I've seen it before. After the flower blooms, the fruit turns from green to red. It's very... uh... beautiful."
Xue Qing looked at Cheng Niu and burst out laughing.
Suddenly I remembered that people originally used peppers as ornamental plants, so it is certain that people here have not started eating peppers yet.
I'm drooling just thinking about it. I used to love spicy food, but after coming here, I feel like there's no taste in my mouth for a century.
However, you have to wait another half a year before you can eat the chili peppers, but it is worth it. It not only satisfies your appetite, but also allows you to earn a lot of money.
Xue Qing was secretly happy when he heard Cheng Niu pointing at another packet of seeds and saying, "This is called melon in the Western Regions. It has a green skin and bright red flesh. It is extremely sweet. A bite in the summer will immediately relieve the heat. But I can't remember how to plant it."
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly. In Xue Qing's opinion, this action was a bit inappropriate for a man with a full beard and so strong.
Xue Qing didn't say anything because she remembered how to plant. Back then, her grandmother's family had a large fruit orchard, with more melons, watermelons and cucumbers than they could eat every year.
Chen Niu continued, "But, Miss Wu, I brought back a book." He called her Miss Wu casually. Fortunately, they were at home and there were no outsiders around.
Cheng Niu took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xue Qing.
Xue Qing took it and looked at it, he was dumbfounded, he didn't even recognize it!
He looked at Cheng Niu awkwardly and said, "Brother Cheng, I only know a few of the characters here, and I also know the characters above."
Cheng Niu was also a little embarrassed because he didn't know the man either. He just took the seeds that the man gave him when he bought them.
"I don't know it either, so I'll just give it to the girl as a souvenir." What else can I do? I can only treat it as a souvenir.
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Cheng Niu admired Xue Qing very much.
Xue Qing also thought that Cheng Niu was good, Mrs. Cheng was kind, Cheng Yang was sensible, and they were a good family. He could be added to the circle of friends.
Suddenly I remembered something: "Brother Cheng, I forgot to introduce you, this is Sister Jiang Yijiang. If I can't come to your house due to something in the future, Sister Jiang will come instead of me."
"Sister Jiang, this is Brother Cheng." After thinking about it, it seemed that Sister Jiang was older than Brother Cheng, but a woman's age should not be spoken casually.
Just when I didn't know what to call, I heard Jiang Yida say: "Master Cheng"
Cheng Niu bowed and said: "I don't deserve it. I am a guard in the caravan. You can call me Guard Cheng."
Jiang nodded: "Guardian Cheng"
Cheng Niu: "I will follow Miss Wu and call her Sister Jiang"
Jiang Yi quickly replied: "No, no, you can just call me Jiang Yi. I am also Mr. Wu's follower."
Xue Qing saw that the two of them were a little strange: "Oh, you guys are so slow, there's no need to be so formal, just call each other by their names."
Jiang Yi and Cheng Niu both laughed.
Since Mrs. Cheng had already prepared lunch, the two of them stayed for lunch without hesitation.
This made Cheng Yang very happy, because there were no outsiders at home, Xue Qing was dressed as a man, and they were all from an ordinary family, so everyone sat in the hall to eat together.
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi said goodbye to Mrs. Cheng and her family and headed straight for the city gate of Anyang. If they went back now, they could still catch the ox cart going back.
