Ye Muyu asked Madam Hu to send a plate of spicy fish fillets to the old residence.

The family members filled their bowls with rice and sat at the dining table, preparing to eat.

Lu Chuan and the others had their own table.

Chu Jin looked at the table full of delicious food and grinned from ear to ear.

“Mother, it smells so good. I want to eat it.”

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

“Eat.”

After Ye Muyu finished speaking, it was time to eat.

She liked to eat potato rice with rice crust, and the spicy fish fillets did not disappoint. Even Chu Heng, who was a sweet food lover, ate a lot of fish slices and even drank fish soup in the end.

“Mother, is this the mountain pepper that we picked from Fifth Grandaunt’s firewood mountain this afternoon?” Chu Ziluo ate slowly because Ye Muyu had taught her to chew and swallow slowly and to develop good eating habits to prevent stomach problems.

In modern times, stones could be removed through surgery.

There was no surgery at this time. If one had gallstones, they would not know how to treat them.

Therefore, the whole family ate slowly, including Chu Jin.

Fortunately, there were more dishes at home now, and they did not have to fight with others. They were not afraid of not having enough to eat. The two children’s habits slowly changed.

Even though Chu Jin wanted to finish all the food in one bite, he restrained himself and only took another bite after he finished what was in his mouth.

“Yes, this is fresh mountain pepper. It’s most suitable for making pepper and sesame fish fillets.”

“Speaking of which, we can ask Lu Chuan to buy more mountain pepper trees. This mountain pepper tree is full of treasures.”

“The mountain pepper can be used as seasoning. The mountain pepper leaves can be plucked and eaten. The mountain pepper root is a high-quality wood.”

“Since not many people know the benefits of it yet, let’s buy more mountain pepper trees and plant them. When the time comes, we can sell the recipe of spicy fish fillets and earn a sum of money.” Ye Muyu rubbed her chin.

She did not mind earning too much money. After all, her family was not considered rich.

She had spent almost 50 taels of silver to buy the shop. Adding on the bookshelves and other things, she had less than twenty taels of silver left.

There would be many places to spend money in the future.

As Ye Muyu said this, she looked at Chu Heng. She remembered that he had a caravan, so transporting the mountain pepper trees from Shudi would be much more convenient.

“Mother, transporting the already grown mountain pepper trees? Don’t you mean the seed of the mountain pepper tree?” Chu Ziluo was a little surprised. “Won’t the trees that are dug out die?”

“It can’t be a seed. If it’s a seed, it’ll grow too slowly. It’ll take a few years.”

Ye Muyu continued, “The key is to ensure that the saplings will not get wet during transportation. So, we have to take it step by step. We’ll start from the nearest county. There will be people who are willing to sell the mountain pepper saplings.”

“I’ve never been to Shudi, so I don’t know how they eat the mountain peppers there. I’ll ask around when the caravan goes there next time,” Chu Heng replied. Seeing that Ye Muvu was full of interest and seemed to want to do it, he did not say anything discouraged and directly told him the solution. “It’s not difficult to transport the saplings. There’s such a skill in the imperial court. I accidentally learned about this skill and it came in handy.”

Then I’ll go to the county tomorrow and find a merchant group to buy some mountain pepper trees.”

Chu Heng never did things poorly. At this moment, he had already thought of how to arrange and how many pepper trees to transport in the first batch.

With his support, Ye Muyu felt more confident that this would work.

“Don’t you have a hill? It’s a waste to leave it empty there. We can plant fruit trees, mountain pepper trees, and so on.” Ye Muyu was not a wasteful person.

She had been planning to use the hill under Chu Heng’s name for a long time..
