 Chapter 349: Utilizing Chaishan

Ye Muyu called Hu Shi to take a portion of the spicy and numbing fish slices to the old house.


The family members gathered around the table, ready to eat.


Luchuan and others had a separate table.


Upon seeing the delicious spread on the table, Chu Jin's mouth widened with delight "Mom, it smells so good. I want to eat."


Chu Ziluo also sniffed the fragrance in the air and smiled with satisfaction.


"Let's eat."


As Ye Muyu spoke, the meal began.


She liked potato rice with a crispy layer, and the spicy and numbing fish slices didn't disappoint. Even Chu Heng, who preferred sweets, ate quite a few fish slices and even drank the fish soup.


"Mom, are these the fresh mountain peppers picked from Aunt Wu's Chaishan this afternoon?" Chu Ziluo eat slowly because Ye Muyu had taught her to chew slowly and develop good eating habits to prevent stomach problems.


In modern times, you could have surgery to remove stones. However, in this era, there was no surgical procedure for kidney stones. If someone developed kidney stones, they wouldn't know how to treat it.


Therefore, the whole family had the habit of eating slowly, even Chu Jin. Since there was plenty of food at home and no need to compete with others, they weren't afraid of not having enough to eat. The two children's habits were gradually changing.


Even if Chu Jin wanted to eat all the food in one bite, he restrained himself, waiting for the food in his mouth to be swallowed before taking the next bite.


"Yes, these are fresh mountain peppers. They are perfect for making spicy and numbing fish slices."


"Speaking of which, we can ask Luchuan to buy more mountain pepper trees. The entire mountain pepper tree is precious."


"We can use mountain peppers as seasoning, pick the leaves to make pancakes and use the roots as excellent wood."


"While not many people know about its benefits now, we can buy some mountain pepper trees, plant them, and later sell the recipe for spicy and numbing fish slices to make a profit." Ye Muyu touched her chin and said.


She wouldn't mind making more money. After all they couldn't be considered wealthy. She had spent nearly fifty taels of silver on buying the shop, plus the cost of making bookshelves and now she had less than twenty taels of silver left.


There were many places where money needed to be spent in the future.


Ye Muyu said so and then looked at Chu Heng. She remembered that he had a caravan and it would be much more convenient to transport mountain pepper trees from Shu Land.


"Mom, are you going to transport fully grown mountain pepper trees? Aren't mountain pepper tree seeds enough?" Chu Ziluo was surprised. "Won't the trees die if they're dug up? "


"It can't be seeds. If it's seeds, they'll grow too slowly and take several years." It would take several years and by then things like yellow-flowered vegetables would have cooled down.


"The key is to preserve the moisture of the saplings during transportation. So, we have to take it step by step. Let's start by looking for saplings in the nearest county. There must be someone willing to sell mountain pepper tree saplings."


"I haven't been to Shu Land before, so I don't know how mountain peppers are used there. We'll ask around when the caravan passes by next time." Chu Heng replied. Seeing Ye Muyu's enthusiasm, he felt that she really wanted to do this. He didn't discourage her and directly provided a solution. "Transporting saplings is not difficult. This skill is available in the imperial court and I unexpectedly learned about this skill which came in handy."


"I'll go to the county tomorrow and find a caravan to buy mountain pepper trees."


Chu Heng had already planned how to arrange the transportation. He never procrastinated when it came to work. Since Ye Muyu had his support and seemed very interested in doing this, he didn't say anything discouraging.


"Coincidentally, don't you have a hill? It's a waste to leave it empty. Plant fruit trees, mountain pepper trees, etc." Ye Muyu wasn't one to waste things. She had long planned what to do with Chu Heng's hill.
