Chapter 76 The Whole World of Foodies
Shi Lei knew that the butler had his own field and he would not let him in for free, so he carefully took care of it himself. It seemed that he planted all kinds of plants with strange effects, many of which were poisonous.
It seems that the butler likes to study poisonous substances. He has also collected a lot of poisonous animals, including the first batch of spiders and scorpions transformed by Shi Lei, who have made the uncle leave. I don’t know what he has studied.
Shi Lei has always had an indifferent attitude towards this. After all, he is a master at the level of a master. It is very normal for him to have a bit of his own hobbies.
"I usually use this thing to boil water and water it directly to kill insects. I have tried to find some animals to feed it to see what it has. As a result, those little things, without exception, kicked their legs randomly, and their noses and tears were covered with tears. It was much worse than Dafu. There were still a few who died after stomping for a long time. Looking at their painful appearance, you know that this thing is not a good way.
Later, I rubbed it a little bit and let it smell it. It smelled too irritating. It was almost the same as those little guys at that time, and I never dared to touch this thing again.
I thought, this thing was probably something like Fu Lazi Wuzhuyu, but it was much more cruel than them.
It’s only useful to kill a bug, so I planted it a little in my garden.” The butler said after recalling it.
"Uncle, wouldn't you smash it all into the mouth of a small animal?" Shi Lei asked speechlessly.
"Of course, do you have to try seeds and other things separately?" Uncle Butler asked for a natural question.
Shi Lei was speechless to the uncle's answer. The uncle was not a scientist or a great pioneer like Shennong. He had no interest in savoring all kinds of herbs. There was no reason to study this thing so carefully, as long as he knew the general effect.
This method still makes Shi Lei feel a little speechless. Shi Lei had just smelled it, and the string of peppers pulled out of Dafu's mouth tasted, but the bit that was bitten by Dafu was enough to make it tasted better. It was obviously very spicy, and at least it would not be worse than a top-quality product like Chaotian pepper.
If you crush it and stuff it into your mouth, you might have to jump into a big man who is used to eating spicy food. It is not impossible to get a toxic conclusion. It is not a fallacy.
"Uh, can you ask uncle how you got the seeds of this kind of thing?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
As Shi Lei knows, chili is only sent back after discovering the New Continent of America. It should have been found in the late Ming Dynasty in China. At the beginning, it was not used for food, but for bonsai, which is similar to the treatment of pyracantha today.
It was about the time when I got to the big braid, I started to record that poor people had eaten chili peppers. I still used this thing as a substitute for salt.
Most Shu people now prefer to eat sweets, unlike later generations who are spicy and happy.
So the question is, where did this thing come from
"I was given to me by a good friend. After going to sea, I got such a poisonous thing back. If it weren't for the gift he gave before he died, how could I take that time to take care of this thing? It's still there until now."
Although the butler said casually, when talking about this friend, it was still hard to hide the sadness in his eyes. He must be a close friend with like-mindedness.
More importantly, no matter how you hear it, this person should be the pioneer of exploring America. He passed away in obscurity. He didn't even have a chance to leave a fortune in history books. It was still about this person. He was classified into unofficial history and miscellaneous notes by later generations or simply after the war. Has it been preserved?
Or maybe they are used to writing these journeys and discoveries so mysterious that they are hard to understand, so they are regarded as myths and legends.
In addition, since I have gone to America, I won’t get some potatoes or corn and other magical tools. Is it really good to come back?
Anyway, thanks to this uncle who I don’t know who he is, I’ve got a food artifact like Chili.
Before his mind was booming, Shi Lei quickly reminded himself that he had to do an experiment first. If this thing just looks like a pepper and is actually really poisonous, it would be a waste of joy. Who knows if this magical world will make something similar to it?
"Uncle said mercy, maybe this thing is really useful. I have some initial ideas, but I have to do some experiments to confirm." Shi Lei quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, you can try it." The butler waved his hand indifferently, and walked away first with a little depressed mood.
Shi Lei raised the string of fiery red peppers in his hand and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Dafu, who finally recovered, could already stand up at this time and shake his huge head hard, trying to make himself more awake. The trouble just now had to spit out all the internal organs, which really hurt it very much.
Looking up, seeing Shi Lei's eyes swept over him, Dafu screamed with a "scream", and the hair on his body was about to explode. He took out the fastest speed in his life, and ran away as soon as he turned his head.
"Well, Dafu wants it to try a little chili to see what the reaction is, why is it gone?" Shi Lei, who straightened his thoughts, planned to compare and test more carefully, and then he found that Dafu was missing. I wonder if Dafu, who escaped, would be glad that he had foresight.
"Then forget it, I'll try it out."
Seeing the river flowing around him, Shi Lei was cruel and decided to do it himself.
If it is really toxic, I will cleanse myself from my stomach. I believe that with my system modified anti-toxic skills, this level of stimulation, I will not let myself go directly.
Although I had thought about letting Daimao come, it seems to be immune to various animal toxins, and I really don’t know what it is about plants. It is not a good experimental subject at all.
After carefully looking at the red little cutie in his hand, Shi Lei carefully pointed it at its butt and gently bit it down.
At the beginning, this thing was a little sweet and a little spicy. This made Shi Lei further confirm that this is chili, which is absolutely impossible to be wrong.
But a few seconds later, Shi Lei felt a sudden feeling of happiness, and tears and snot were moved.
Too hot
Shi Lei's lazi eyes were almost unable to open, and he suddenly pierced his head into the river without hesitation, so he was able to get water. Until his stomach was round and he couldn't get it, he felt that it wasn't so spicy.
After tying his throat hard, he almost vomited out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Shi Lei, who was finally saved, slapped his butt on the river bank, savoring this feeling of almost dying and dying, and his mind was a little excited.
That pioneer uncle, you are sure that you didn't go to the wrong place. What you brought back is the devil pepper that can put the elephants up, right?
But since he was sure that this was a pepper, not something toxic, Shi Lei became excited again.
For an authentic foodie, when Shi Lei saw the string of chili in his hand, he felt that he had the whole world.
