Liu Mingqi said: "It should have appeared in this world for a long time, but for some reason, I didn't find it before, and I thought something unexpected happened... Now when I see it, I finally feel at ease!"

Dazhu: "!?"

Is it because I am too stupid or your highness is too profound? Why can't I understand?

Liu Mingqi looked at his dazed look and did not explain much.

When this thing is planted in two or three years, Dazhu will know what it is.

Now he simply told him that this plant is called pepper vine, which can grow the king of spices, pepper, but he doesn't understand it either.

Yes.

What Liu Mingqi saw just now was pepper vine.

What excited Liu Mingqi was Pepper!!

Although it is different from modern ones, many basic characteristics are the same, especially the taste, which is more similar.

However, it takes two or three years for the first time to grow up in pepper vine to mature for the first time, so ordinary people can’t recognize it when they look at pepper vine.

Liu Mingqi shouldn't have known him.

But in his previous life, when he was studying for graduate school, his mentors once organized a gathering of students from two subjects that were somewhat related to the Department of Chemistry and Agricultural Sciences.

As a result, he saw a very beautiful and gentle little girl from the Agricultural Science Department at the party. She happened to be in her sophomore year and was blooming like a bud.

Liu Mingqi was also a little male impulse, so he went to inquire about the little sister several times.

Liu Mingqi learned a lot of her knowledge from others, including the category of subjects she wanted to study, which happened to be pepper.

So Liu Mingqi spent two or three months to learn about all the knowledge about pepper and check out the pepper vine that is growing.

Modern people's convenience in obtaining knowledge is far more than ten thousand times that of ancient times.

Liu Mingqi not only saw the pepper vine, but also observed the process of a pepper vine through videos and photos.

So he could recognize the pepper vine that had just grown.

Then he tried the taste of pepper leaves before, and he had done this before. Engineering dogs are so willful and rough.

After calculating all the knowledge points, Liu Mingqi confirmed that she had discovered the pepper vine!

In fact, if it was in Liu Mingqi's era, Hujiao came to Chinese land as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the current era of Dakang, a feudal country similar to the Song and Ming dynasties, there should have been a pepper for a long time.

But the fact is that after Liu Mingqi came to Dakang, she had never seen pepper.

Only dogwood similar to pepper.

But eating dogwood can never replace pepper, otherwise the reputation of the king of spices will not be placed on the head of pepper.

In all dynasties in our country, any pepper appeared, it was always pepper pressing on the head of the dogwood.

By the way, the Imperial Palace where Liu Mingqi lives now is also a place where he loves to use pepper in the future.

Liu Mingqi once asked many people and found that they really didn’t use pepper, and they had never even seen each other, including the paradise on earth and Jiangnan.

The boy couldn't understand why pepper disappeared. Logically speaking, Dakang merchants have already traveled to the entire Southeast Asia, and may even go to the Indian Ocean. These two places are the main production places of pepper.

But now everything doesn't matter.

Pepper is already in front of Liu Mingqi, which means that from now on, the people of Dakang will be able to enjoy the huge benefits of pepper again!

In a few more years, the flagship products exported by Dakang may include pepper!

How important is pepper? It doesn’t take a scholar to talk about this at all. You guys can know it.

Even in modern times, pepper is still the most important spice, and even one of them can be saved.

Don't believe it?

In addition to white pepper, isn’t there any black pepper?

When Westerners cook, which meal can be less black pepper?

Japan and South Korea, who are used to Western diets, and three brothers with a population of 1.2 billion... The third brother alone is enough to offset China, not to mention that China also likes to use pepper.

The ancient sea traders and Western Regions merchants did not know how much money they made from pepper.

From the Three Kingdoms period to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, pepper was planted on a large scale, and the price of pepper was basically comparable to gold.

A Yuan prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was killed directly by the furious emperor because he had hidden dozens of tons of pepper?

I don’t even have so many peppers, you have more than me, it’s really unbearable!

Not to mention Westerners.

They started their voyage to the East in a crazily manner because they wanted to find spices.

They named the route from the West to the East directly the Spice Road, and you can imagine how attractive spices are to them.

In fact, 70% of this spice refers to pepper, while the rest are cumin, cinnamon, basil, lemongrass, etc.

In the Western diet style, the meat is roasted, fried or cooked, and eaten without blood, or excreting acid, etc., so it is very fishy and stenchy, and it is hard to swallow without spices.

After the pepper, their nobles realized that eating was a pleasure.

From then on, I was out of control and I never left the pepper.

As long as Liu Mingqi confirms that there is no large-scale sale of peppers in India, Southeast Asia and other places, then the peppers cultivated on a large scale will inevitably become popular all over the world like porcelain and tea!

Don't doubt it.

Since there has not been any introduction of pepper in Dakang so far, it is very likely that there has been a deviation in this era. The plant of pepper has not yet entered people's eyes, or has not been used on a large scale, let alone exported.
