Chapter 689 Mountain pepper seedlings

Following Shen Kuan's order, Yunzheng's personal guards moved quickly.

In a short time, Wu Shengtai and his party were all under control, as well as several people who were brewing the potion.

This sudden change frightened everyone, even Yunzheng was a little confused.

"what happened?"

Yun Zheng frowned and looked at Shen Kuan, who had a murderous look on his face.

"Go back to Your Highness, this water is probably poisonous!"

Shen Kuan subconsciously opened his mouth and took two breaths of cool air, and then continued: "After drinking this water, my mouth and tongue are burning abnormally!"

Abnormal burning pain?

Yun Zheng turned to look at Wu Shengtai.

No way?

Could it be that someone planted this Wu Shengtai as a spy?

"My lord, you are wronged!"

Wu Shengtai finally came to his senses and wailed: "Xiaguan will never dare to murder the prince. This water... After drinking this water, he... he is like this! I just told the prince! Please give me a clear warning!"

Have you said that?

Wu Shengtai told them.

"My lord, you are wronged! This water is like this..."

"My lord, everyone in the quarry drinks this water. This... this is really not poisonous!"

"It just started to feel a little burning, but it soon went away, and my body is still warm..."

"Please give me a clear warning..."

"If the prince doesn't believe it, I can drink it in front of the prince..."

Everyone wailed and offered explanations.

Everyone looks innocent.

"Put the knife away first!"

Yun Zheng winked at Shen Kuan, "Maybe this is the effect of this herb, don't make a fuss."

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan quickly led a group of guards to put away their swords, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Shengtai.

As long as Wu Shengtai made the slightest move, he would immediately draw his sword and kill him.

"Your Majesty, this herbal water is really not poisonous!"

Wu Shengtai explained in a panic and trotted to the cauldron, "I'll prove it to the prince now!"

As he spoke, Wu Shengtai immediately scooped up half a bowl of water and poured it into his stomach while blowing on it.

Miaoyin also stepped forward, took out the herbs from the pot, put them in her hands and observed them carefully.

After watching for a while, Miaoyin gently shook her head towards Yunzheng.

She didn't know this herb either, and she wasn't sure whether it was poisonous or not.

Wu Shengtai drank half the bowl of herbal water in one breath, opened his mouth to suck in the cold air, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It looked like eating a handful of chili peppers.

Ok?

chili?

Yun Zheng's heart suddenly moved.

I rely on!

Could this thing be the legendary mountain pepper seedling?

As soon as he thought of this, Yunzheng immediately came to Miaoyin and took the herb from Miaoyin's hand.

However, he had only heard of mountain pepper seedlings in his previous life, but had never seen one.

I only know that this thing is also called Northeast Clematis, and it is said that there are many in the Northeast.

It’s found in the Northeast, and it’s not surprising that it’s also found in Shuobei.

They use this thing to boil water to ward off the cold. It should be similar to eating chili peppers to ward off the cold, right?

Just as Yun Zheng was thinking secretly, Shen Kuan came forward and whispered: "Your Highness, this thing seems to really warm the body, and the general's mouth doesn't hurt so much anymore. Maybe... maybe the general has misunderstood. …”

"Let me try!"

As Yun Zheng spoke, he stuffed the herbs in his hand into his mouth.

Miaoyin wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

As the herbal medicine entered his mouth, a long-lost spicy feeling instantly exploded in Yunzheng's mouth.

Yun Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he almost started dancing.

Depend on!

Really spicy!

Mountain pepper seedlings!

These things are probably mountain pepper seedlings!

This is not poison!

Without the chili, this would be a treasure!

"Okay, okay! Don't be nervous, Shen Kuan misunderstood!"

Yun Zheng comforted the frightened people, and then asked Wu Shengtai: "What is this thing called?"

Wu Shengtai replied in fear: "Back to your lord, this herb has no name. Many people call it hot grass..."

With that said, Wu Shengtai told Yun Zheng about the origin of the hot grass.

At the very beginning, no one knew whether this thing was edible.

A few days ago, some disaster victims went to look for wild vegetables nearby and accidentally picked some of these things to eat.

After those people ate it, their mouths and tongues all hurt, their bodies became hot and sweaty, and many people thought they had been poisoned.

Because so many people were "poisoned", the matter alarmed the government.

As a result, in the end, those people were fine.

Later, when the weather turned cold, some people went to look for this thing to keep away the cold.

After confirming that this thing was not poisonous, Wu Shengtai also asked someone to collect some in the name of the government and boil water for the working people to drink to help them ward off the cold.

Because after eating this stuff, the whole body becomes hot and sweaty, so everyone calls it hot grass.

After figuring out the situation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

That’s how this thing was discovered!

What a coincidence!

“Is there a lot of hot grass around here?”

Yunzheng asked looking forward to it.

"There were quite a few before."

Wu Shengtai replied: "Later I learned that hot grass can ward off the cold, so everyone ran to dig in the surrounding mountains. Now it's not easy to find! However, if you look elsewhere, you should be able to find a lot..."

Yunzheng pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "In this case, you order people to buy a large amount of this hot grass! As much as you want! After collecting it, bake them all! Also, this is not called hot grass, this is Shuobei Clematis! "

From now on, this will be called Shuobei Clematis!

This can definitely be regarded as Shuobei’s characteristic industry!

At this moment, Yunzheng seemed to see the steaming hot mutton rolls waving to him.

There are also grilled fish, spicy sauce...

The dining habits of Shuobei people must have changed because of this little Shuobei Clematis!

Soon, various spicy dishes will be popular throughout Shuobei!

The more Yunzheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost screamed to the sky.

"Yes!"

Wu Shengtai quickly accepted the order and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the prince is sensible.

Otherwise, all of them will be killed!

Yun Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and lightly kicked Shen Kuan. "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly apologize to everyone? Look how scared everyone is."

Shen Kuan looked at the shocked people with an embarrassed face, bowed and said: "I misunderstood just now. I apologize to Mr. Wu and everyone, and I hope you don't take it seriously."

"Commander Shen's words are serious."

Wu Shengtai smiled with a smile on his face, "Commander Shen is also thinking about the prince's safety. Just clarify."

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Yun Zheng gave Wu Shengtai another hundred taels of silver, saying that he wanted Wu Shengtai to use it to buy some meat and rice and improve the food for everyone. This was also an apology from him for Shen Kuan's recklessness.

"Is this Shuobei Clematis you are talking about a treasure?"

When leaving, Ye Zi asked in a low voice.

She knew in her heart that the things Yun Zheng asked people to buy in large quantities were definitely not ordinary things.

"It's so precious!"

Yunzheng winked at Ye Zi, "It will ignite your taste buds!"

"what?"

Ye Zi didn't know why.

Yunzheng didn't explain, his mind had been occupied by all kinds of delicacies...
