What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 109 The Charm of Chili Pepper is Poisonous

Ye Tang planted five kinds of peppers, including Chaotian pepper, glutinous rice pepper, beauty pepper, sweet pepper, and colorful pepper. Among them, glutinous rice pepper, Chaotian pepper, and beauty pepper were the most planted. They were also planted in the Ye family's vegetable garden and matured earlier than the peppers on the Xiao family's side.

Ye Tang picked some less spicy glutinous rice peppers, washed them, cut half of them into shreds and stir-fried them with shredded green peppers and pork, cooked the other half, peeled them, took some and chopped them up and mixed them with cucumbers, and mixed the rest with the cooked tomatoes and eggplants. Finally, Ye Tang made a tomato and egg soup with tomatoes.

Roasted Pepper and Eggplant Salad

The meal is served.

Jamel Xiao and Hong Longfei looked at the three kinds of chili food in silence, and were not as enthusiastic about eating as before.

Jamel Xiao swallowed his saliva, only to feel that the spicy feeling in his mouth had not completely faded away: "My wife, I don't want to die from the spiciness, I want to grow old with you."

Hong Longfei was terribly afraid of chili peppers. The spiciness of this thing was different from that of liquor and dogwood. When he tasted the chili peppers, he just rubbed his eyes with the hand that held the chili peppers. His eyes were still red and swollen from the taste.

It hurts so much!

This thing is not only spicy, but also spicy to the eyes.

"My dear disciple and wife, I will just drink soup today." Hong Longfei scooped a bowl of rice and two spoonfuls of tomato and egg soup, and resolutely refused to touch the chili pepper.

"I only drink soup." Jamel Xiao didn't touch the chili either.

Ye Tang smiled at them and said, "You are a real man. It's just spicy, so you are afraid? If you don't eat it, I will."

She took a piece of the cold-mixed pepper, eggplant and tomato with chopsticks and tasted it carefully: "It's just the right amount of sour and spicy, and really delicious!"

Although these peppers were planted a little late, fortunately the seeds are of high quality and they have grown very well. The glutinous rice peppers have thin skin and thick flesh, and are moderately spicy, making them perfect for making roasted peppers.

Ye Tang ate all three chili dishes.

He ate rice and vegetables with big mouthfuls, looking very happy.

Jamel Xiao and Hong Longfei looked at her in surprise.

“Isn’t it spicy?” Xiao Jingxuan asked. He was almost killed by the spiciness before, and his tongue almost didn’t belong to him anymore.

Ye Tang said, "It's not spicy. This pepper is different from the previous one. Try it. I'm not lying to you. It's really delicious and goes really well with rice."

Xiao Jingxuan and the other person were still hesitant.

Ye Tang said no more and concentrated on eating.

Perhaps it was because she had done too much manual labor, or perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten chili peppers for a long time, her appetite was particularly good at the moment, and she even ate three bowls of rice.

There was still a little left of the three chili dishes. Ye Tang touched his bloated stomach contentedly and said, "I'm so full. You guys keep eating. I'll go for a walk to digest the food."

Jamel Xiao and the other person also ate a lot of rice and soup, and the egg soup with tomatoes was delicious.

Looking at Ye Tang's back as he walked out, the two of them looked at each other, and then looked at the remaining chili dish together.

Jamel Xiao said, “How about trying it again?”

Hong Longfei nodded.

The two of them each picked up a piece of roasted pepper and cucumber, and were polite to each other.

"you eat first."

"You first."

"eat together."

The two of them stuffed the cucumber into their mouths together as if they were going to die.

“Huh?” Jamel Xiao was surprised: “It’s spicy, but not too spicy. The taste is very special. I really like this cucumber.”

Hong Longfei's eyes also lit up.

The two also tried the stir-fried pork with green peppers and the roasted eggplant with peppers.

“Delicious and appetizing!”

"Eat less, the rest is all mine."

"Go away. Respect the old and love the young, don't you know?"

The two men fought over the remaining chili dishes.

He even used martial arts and almost blew the roof off.

In the end, the roof was not blown off, but the dining table was kicked into pieces.

When the table leg flew out, it almost hit Ye Tang's head.

Ye Tang: “…”

The two house-wreckers had their mouths filled with spicy food and cried out in pain.

"Help!"

The reclamation of Ziyan Mountain is in the final stage. Looking from the new house, the landscape has completely changed, with newly dug wasteland everywhere.

Taking advantage of the fact that there has been no rain in recent days, all the people of the Xiao clan went to harvest the crops and put the work of reclaiming the land on hold for the time being.

Every harvest season, every household will exchange ideas to help each other. Today you help my family harvest the crops, and tomorrow I help your family. In this way, they help each other to harvest the crops, and the speed is fast and the village seems united, and there is warmth everywhere.

Ye Tang called Xiao Jingxuan and went to clean the threshing ground with a large broom made of broom grass.

Broom grass

Hong Longfei took a pot of cold water and went to the fields.

The five servants bought by Ye Tang were harvesting rice.

The head of the family among the five was named Lu Anbang, 39 years old, married to Zeng Qing, and had one son and two daughters. The eldest son was named Lu Hao, 19 years old, the second daughter was named Lu Taohua, 17 years old, and the third daughter was named Lu Lihua, 15 years old. Lu Anbang's ancestors were military households, and he served as a soldier for half a year. He didn't know what he did wrong in the barracks. Nine years ago, his whole family was arrested and thrown into prison, enslaved, and sold to Wutong County.

Lu Anbang's family is very efficient, and both men and women are good at farming.

Just as Ye Tang and his companions cleaned the threshing ground, Lu Anbang and Lu Hao arrived in a ox cart with a load of rice.

Seeing Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan sweeping the floor, the father and son were startled and hurriedly jumped off the ox cart and ran over: "Boss, Madam Boss, how can we let you sweep the floor in such a hot day..."

Ye Tang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lu, we are not a wealthy family. We are farmers and it's just a small job. It's not a big deal. You have been in our house for five days. You should be used to it."

Lu Anbang and Lu Hao paused.

When they were first bought, no one expected that their new owner would be a farmer, and the purpose of buying them was to let them farm.

They were not treated harshly here. They only had to work hard on the farm every day. They had good food, clothing, housing and transportation. There were no rules like those in the wealthy families. Although they lived comfortably, they were not used to it.

Having been slaves for nine years, they had seen all kinds of picky masters, but this was the first time they had seen a master as easy-going as the Xiao family.

Ye Tang went forward to pull the ox cart over, picked up a bag of rice, and poured it on the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Anbang and his son hurriedly moved the rice out of the car.

There were some grasshoppers mixed in with the rice, some alive and some dead. The alive ones jumped up and down non-stop the moment the rice was poured out.

Ye Tang grabbed some live grasshoppers and strung them together with straw.

Find all the dead ones and feed them to the chickens and ducks.

"Meow." The black kitten staggered into the threshing ground and rolled in the grain.

After raising him for half a month, Xiaoqi has gained some weight and is in great spirits.

The two little wolf cubs followed the black cat. When they saw it rolling around, they also rolled around in the millet, getting all covered in millet.

The two big wolves were still tied under the tree. Compared to how ferocious they were when they first came to the Xiao family, they were now obedient. When they saw people, they would no longer stare at them with those murderous eyes.

"All of you, get out of here. This is not the place for you to play around. Go, go, go catch grasshoppers or mice. Stop peeing and pooping in my rice."

Ye Tang drove the three little creatures out.

The three little ones just rolled out of the threshing ground.

When Ye Tang walked away, they rolled back.

The black cat also urinated.

Ye Tang's face darkened.

He swung the broom over and pinned it to the ground.

Xiaoqi was locked in a cage and meowed non-stop.

The two little wolves circled around it and even imitated its meowing.

The two big wolves were furious and roared loudly.

Xiao Qi arrogantly twisted his butt towards them.

After a whole day of hard work, we only harvested two acres of rice. It was really troublesome without mechanized tools for harvesting rice.

Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an came back from the county town specifically to have a free meal.

"Sister, Wenchao said we have chili peppers tonight. Are they delicious?" Ye Ping'an asked as soon as he entered the door.

Ye Tang, who was cutting peppers, handed him half a chili pepper and said, "Try it."

Ye Ping'an took it and put it into his mouth.

"Ah!" He screamed and felt like his mouth was about to spit fire.

His reaction startled Ye Peng who was about to come over to taste the chili.

"What a poisonous pepper!"
