After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 170 Healthy Chili Seedlings

Bruce stopped sneezing, and Su Xiaoxiao had almost finished eating her durian.

Unfortunately, there were only a few durians in the box, not enough for Su Xiaoxiao to eat alone.

"These chicken heart-shaped persimmons are quite good."

Su Xiaoxiao picked up a small persimmon, put it to her lips, and took a bite. It was so sweet! Without any pesticides or fertilizers, this delicious little persimmon was sweet enough to warm one's heart.

Bruce took the opportunity to tour Su Xiaoxiao's house, and the furnishings and decorations were truly top-notch.

This still surprised Bruce, who came from the West.

"That's really impressive."

Bruce thought the interior design of the homes he saw in some towns and villages was outdated and lacked any innovation, but in Su Xiaoxiao's home, he saw a very modern style.

"I've decided, when I go home this time, I'll decorate the house according to your style."

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "You're exaggerating a bit, aren't you? Let's see if you can actually pull it off."

For example, this flush toilet is quite surprising; even Bruce had never seen one before.

It's amazing that we have shower facilities at home.

Since Su Xiaoxiao is said to have transmigrated with some modern memories, she must decorate the house according to her own ideas and make it the way she likes it.

We can't say that this life of being born has been wasted, can we? Actually, too much modernization has become meaningless.

People become lazy and lose all creativity. It would be better if everyone evolved to sit in a chair all day and have food readily available at their fingertips.

After you finish eating, there's a toilet under the chair, so you can use it whenever you want.

You can watch whatever TV show you want anytime, sit in the chair all day, lie down whenever you want, and the chair can fly wherever it wants.

But by then, I probably wouldn't want to go anywhere. Everything would be on my phone, and watching a video wherever I wanted would be the same as going there myself.

If we were to actually go, there might be traffic jams on the way, and other people might step on our feet while we're walking. How boring would that be?

Su Xiaoxiao accepted Bruce's praise very politely.

"Did you grow those chilies? They look even better in color and smell spicier than the chilies from my hometown!"

Su Xiaoxiao showed Bruce her small chili pepper garden, which was full of chili peppers. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw Bruce.

Bruce was also eager to eat these red peppers. "Are these the pepper seeds you like? Our pepper seeds are actually a very novel type of seed, you may not have seen them before."

Bruce was taken aback. "What kind of seeds are these? The seeds of these chili peppers look a bit colorful. They shouldn't be spicy, right?"

The seeds Su Xiaoxiao showed Bruce from her hometown were all brightly colored, making the chili seeds seem a bit ridiculous. It didn't necessarily mean they would grow and be edible. Actually, these chilies looked like a type of bell pepper. "It's a new kind of chili pepper," Bruce said.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Bruce, "You really have to admit, if these bell peppers could be grown, there would definitely be a market for them. After all, people really like these bell pepper seeds, and just looking at the peppers themselves is already very appealing."

For example, adding bell peppers to a Western meal would definitely make the colors look lovely.

Pretend that you can definitely do it, and once you've done that, you really can. That's what's impressive.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that Bruce had brought so many gifts to celebrate her housewarming, she naturally couldn't let him come for nothing. Su Xiaoxiao immediately decided to invite Bruce to have dinner at her home.

"How about we have hot pot today?"

"Great! The temperature is starting to drop this autumn, let's have hot pot together!"

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao made the suggestion, everyone agreed.

Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao all clapped their hands in agreement; eating hot pot in this kind of weather was truly satisfying.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao's family didn't lack the ingredients for hot pot, but after preparing the ingredients, Su Xiaoxiao thought about how to prepare the hot pot soup base, which was the key. For example, she didn't have any dipping sauces yet.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that since Bruce really liked chili peppers and had a special fondness for them.

Instead of making a health-preserving hot pot, she decided to make a very spicy and flavorful hot pot.

This hot pot must have a bright and clear broth. When combined with grapes, apples, and other fruits that Bruce brought back from the West, it's an absolutely unique experience.

Using a spicy hot pot broth to cook grapes, apples, and durian is something most people wouldn't expect, right? But it's surprisingly delicious.

There's always an unexpected flavor that makes you linger.

To help everyone relieve the spiciness, Su Xiaoxiao also made a fruit salad.

I happen to have dairy cows at home, so I can have fresh milk to drink anytime.

Su Xiaoxiao first made yogurt. She first fermented the milk and put it in a container. Then, after controlling the temperature and humidity, it fermented into yogurt. This yogurt was actually perfect for making fruit salad.

When everyone was eating hot pot and getting too spicy, Su Xiaoxiao promptly served everyone fruit salad to relieve the spiciness. Everyone ate it while sweating profusely, experiencing the refreshing charm of a fruit salad.

Su Xiaoxiao really enjoyed experiencing the endless charm of hot pot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xiaoxiao planted the bell pepper seeds she had obtained in her small garden.

For example, first loosen the soil, then sow the seeds at appropriate intervals, and finally water them. Su Xiaoxiao watered them, and everything went very smoothly. This rain, which was as precious as oil, was indeed very important.

This is a blessing for the crops that have been sown.

A few days later, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised to see that the chili seedlings in her small garden had all sprouted.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly ran back to the bedroom and woke up Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao.

Pei Yuan, still rubbing his eyes, asked Su Xiaoxiao.

"What happened?"

Su Xiaoxiao shouted loudly at Pei Yuan, "Get up quickly, I have something good to show you!"

Pei Yuan, who was originally grumpy when he woke up, had completely calmed down by now. He was quite happy to see Su Xiaoxiao's excited expression.

He eagerly got up and followed Su Xiaoxiao to see what was happening, only to find that the chili seedlings in their garden had already started to sprout.

It was a tremendous sense of accomplishment, making Su Xiaoxiao feel as if her sons, whom she had raised from childhood, had all grown up.
