Cheng Chubi nodded and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter whether it is a cow, a horse, a donkey or a pig, all five animals can be optimally bred and improved by artificial insemination technology."

"But now, your father is busy with horses, so this cow will be put away first, and other livestock will come after the improvement of the Great Tang horse breed is completed."

Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi who was talking about it, and always felt that something seemed wrong, but looking at Brother Chu Bi's appearance, forget it, it should be unintentional.

Cheng Chubi looked confidently at the two tall, sturdy, fat and strong zebu cattle, and was very happy in his heart. "When are you going to go to Jiucheng Palace?" Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but look forward to her trip to Jiucheng Palace.

The scenery there is indeed beautiful, and the most important thing is that the lotus pond there is very beautiful and beautiful.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said apologetically to Empress Changsun.

"It will be later this year. My husband wants to wait for the results of the three-season rice that Cheng Sanlang tried to plant before leaving."

"Husband and concubine think exactly the same, and concubine also wants to know if Cheng Saburo can successfully try to plant rice outside Chang'an city."

Hearing the words of Guanyin maid, Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth and patted Empress Zhangsun's slender hand. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

In Duke Lu's mansion, Cheng Chubi was sitting right behind the case, with a recorder, Deng Chengxin, beside him.

Cheng Chubi was now talking to the three new Hu people who came to the Lu Guogong's mansion about their planting experience.

In particular, various matters needing attention in cotton cultivation, and Deng Chengxin is responsible for recording.

The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, happened to be passing by, and when he heard the cotton planting technology being talked about here, he knelt down and came in with relish.

When the three Hu people had finished explaining cotton planting techniques, Cheng Chubi told them to withdraw.

Uncle Fu, the housekeeper on the side, couldn't help but be amazed. "I can't believe that these hustlers actually know how to work hard."

Hearing this, Cheng Chubi almost burst out in joy. If the Hu people don't work hard, where will the fruits and grapes come from?

"Uncle Fu, the farming techniques of the Hu people are not the same as ours in the Tang Dynasty. After all, the region and environment are not the same."

"So the things we plant are also different from ours. Don't look at the few Hu people with crooked melons and cracked dates, red eyebrows and green eyes, they are all capable people."

"Like the dark-faced guy who grows chickpeas and onions and peppers..."

"Pepper?" Butler Fu Uncle's eyelids jumped, and he turned his face to look at Cheng Chubi.

"Yeah, what's up?" Cheng Chubi looked at Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, and it was difficult to understand Uncle Fu's shocked face.

It was as if he was more shocked to hear that his own father invented Chengjiali.

"Third Young Master, you really heard it right, the kind of pepper that is more expensive than gold?"

Cheng Chubi's expression became even more dazed.

"Pepper is better than gold?"

Seeing that the third son, who is a culinary genius, doesn't know the price of pepper.

The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, wanted to lie on the ground and express that he did not want to speak, but as an excellent housekeeper, Uncle Fu could only do his best to perform his duties.

Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, raised his fingers.

"One or two peppers cost about ten ounces to buy, and they are often too expensive."

But now, after hearing what Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, said, Cheng Chubi felt that he had made a common-sense mistake.

This is the only way to save. I am a native of Guizhou Province, and I like spicy food.

But Hu Bujiao, I really didn't pay attention to it, after all, that thing is almost difficult to use in Guizhou cuisine at least.

And subconsciously, he just knew that pepper was very precious in history. As for how precious it was, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Because his focus is on how to make the food more numb and spicier.

Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, was also a little stunned. "The old man thought you knew the third son, so you almost didn't use pepper when cooking."

"The old man thought you knew the preciousness of that pepper, that's why you saved money for the government."

"Third Young Master, if he really knows how to grow pepper, and let him plant a few hundred acres of land for our old Cheng family, then our old Cheng family can do it."

Hearing the words of Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be moved.

It turns out that pepper is so valuable. Could it be that Hakim specially reminded himself that this guy can grow pepper.

Although Cheng Chubi didn't like money, he didn't care about it, and he wasn't even willing to touch it, but he liked gold very much and was happy to touch it.

As soon as he heard that pepper could be equal to gold, in Cheng Chubi's swaying heart, there seemed to be pieces of gold ingots rattling.

"..." Cheng Chubi wiped his face, his eyes fell on Deng Chengxin, his head tilted.

"Go, call back the black-faced curly-haired guy just now."

Deng Chengxin nodded hurriedly, and ran away with a few steps, not much effort.

The guy who obviously looked like a third brother returned to the room with a dazed expression.

As soon as he came in, he hurriedly kowtowed to this Tang official.

Then he stood up properly.

Cheng Chubi grinned at him, trying to make himself appear more approachable.

"What's your name?"

"Go back to the high official, the villain's name is Ethan."

"I asked, you only indicated by nodding and shaking your head." Cheng Chubi felt that he had to pass a psychological test first.

Fei Luoci stared blankly at Young Master Cheng, then nodded vigorously.

"Tianzhu people?"

nod.

"Can you grow onions?"

nod.

"Can you grow rice?"

Shaking his head.

"Can you grow peaches?"

Shaking his head.

"Can you grow pepper?"

nod.

"Can you grow peppercorns?"

He shook his head slightly hesitantly.

"Will you have children?"

Crazy shaking his head.

"Can you grow pepper?"

Nod hard.

Cheng Chubi touched his chin and patted his thigh with satisfaction.

"Now I can be sure he's not lying, he does grow pepper."

The housekeeper Fu Shu and Deng Chengxin looked at their proud third son with black lines, and always felt that such a problem was very problematic, okay?

#####

Entering the interrogation mode again, Cheng Chubi asked, and Ethan answered.

This Ethan in his early 40s seems to really know how to grow pepper, and he has a very good understanding of the habits of pepper.

Even how big the pepper grows and how it should be managed, it can be said in good order.

Even the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, interjected, asking if Ethan could plant crops in Guanzhong.

Ethan shook his head with certainty and certainty.

"This pepper cannot be grown in Guanzhong. It must be grown in a hot and humid area in order to survive."

Hearing this, Uncle Fu's face could not help but show a very obvious disappointment.

Forget it, it seems that there is no hope of expecting this thing to make a fortune.

Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, shook his head in disappointment. "It seems that our old Cheng family is not so lucky. Sigh..."

Looking at the back of the housekeeper Uncle Fu staggeringly leaving, Cheng Chubi suddenly felt a move in his heart, and he thought of something.
