Chapter 338： Japanese pepper

Chapter 338 Sansho

Ye Muyu suddenly realized, no wonder this happened, but it also made sense.

"Ma'am, I'll take the young lady and the young master to pick peaches." Seeing that the two children couldn't stay longer, Hu hurriedly said.

Ye Muyu nodded, and told Ziluo Xiaojin to be more careful, after all, if she fell under a peach tree, her **** would definitely blossom.

"Mu Yu, have a look, this peach has been depited, it's crisp and sweet."

Ye Muyu thanked her and took the peaches. She saw that the peaches were well taken care of. The size could reach the size of half of her palm. It was an ordinary peach variety, and the skin was a little black. You can see the pink spots.

She doesn't look very good, but Ye Muyu smells the sweet fragrance of peaches.

She collected the peaches and didn't eat them. She planned to go back and wash them before peeling off the skins before eating. At the same time, she also avoided getting the hairs from the peaches on her body to prevent itching.

Ye Muyu didn't join in the fun picking peaches.

She circled around the perimeter.

With a fixed gaze, he saw the pepper tree.

Reached out and picked one of the still green peppercorns, which was not yet black, and put it in his hand.

Perhaps because it is relatively close to the peach tree, which takes advantage of the convenience of fertilizing the nearby land, the pepper grows pretty well.

"Fifth Aunt, is this the pepper tree?" Ye Muyu asked in surprise.

Sanjiao generally grows in Sichuan, and also in Jiangnan area, but it is not common.

"You mean this?" Qian happened to be picking peaches from the nearby peach tree. She looked up and recognized it at a glance: "You said this, yes, it's the pepper tree."

"Speaking of which, this sansho is also a medicinal material. A Xing met a merchant in the county a few years ago, and he said that it can cure diseases. He also said that if the tree grows up, good branches will also be good wood."

"You know, the old ladies of the rich families in the county all use crutches. For this kind of object, the branches needed are not very thick, and the branches of Sanjiao are just right."

"I heard that the wood used by those old ladies in Fucheng is better, but Sanjiao is still very popular in the county."

"However, this sansho tree grows in the Sichuan region. It is very rare here. It can be seen that it is not very suitable."

"Ah Xing didn't think about it until he bought it, but the seedling cost more than a dozen copper coins, and he refused to give up. I didn't expect it to be really well-fed." Qian said, then laughed, obviously to his son is satisfactory.

At least there is no waste. In the countryside, as long as you are hardworking, you are likable.

Ye Muyu thought, it’s no wonder that’s the case, but it’s not surprising that he can support himself. After all, the climate difference between Shu and Jiangnan is not too big, but the appearance is definitely not as good as in Shu.

"Other than that, how did Aunt Fifth deal with this sansanjiao?" Ye Muyu asked.

"It is sold as medicinal materials. As for the wood, it can't be cut down when it grows up. However, in the past few years, three or four plants have grown nearby. Look next to it, and there is a smaller one. This year is the second year of fruiting. The one next to it will bear fruit next year." Qian said.

Ye Muyu asked: "Since it was bought from a peddler, can the peddler tell you whether it can be eaten?"

"I seem to have said so, but I tried it, and it was so numb in my mouth that I couldn't eat it at all." Qian Shi said with a sigh: "As expected of medicinal materials, the taste is not very good."

"Fifth Aunt, you are wrong this time. Sansan pepper is eaten as a condiment in Sichuan, just like chili peppers, but it is a pity that there are not many medicine shops here."
