In fact, chili peppers did not originate from the vast lands of China; they are a unique plant species that comes from South America. It wasn't until after the Ming Dynasty that they were widely cultivated and improved by Chinese farmers.
In the ancient times, long before the advent of chili peppers, how did people create spicy flavors? The secret weapon was Mustard Sauce, commonly known as Wasabi. Yun Xiao Yi had tasted it multiple times but always held a resistant attitude towards it; after all, its intense flavor was truly hard to accept, akin to swallowing a bottle of some bizarre soda labeled "super spicy."
Before this, Zhao Yun and others had experienced the grilled fish cooked by Yun Xiao Yi, so there were no surprises this time around. However, a peculiar dish that they had never seen before caught everyone's attention. Even though they had occasionally seen Yun Xiao Yi taste it before, they hesitated for a moment, reluctant to try it.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao Yi chuckled heartily. He casually took a steel pick and struck the coconut placed on the table a few times, creating a small opening. This was a fruit called coconut, sweet and refreshing; it was worth a taste.
Zhao Yun was the first to reach out and take the cracked tropical fruit, gently sipping its juice. Instantly, his eyes lit up. Even in an era where the food industry was advanced and various beverages were abundant, the unique charm of Coconut Water still managed to carve out its own niche.
It was predictable that this Coconut Water would be incredibly delicious. Indeed. What they appreciated most was the hint of sweetness within it. Considering that sugar-making techniques were still in their infancy at that time, white sugar was a highly precious commodity. For instance, Yuan Shu, who held a small kingdom during the Eastern Han turmoil, had no greater wish at his death than to drink a bowl of honey water.
From this, you can roughly understand how shocking the sweet taste of Coconut Water is to the palate.
"Immortal Master, why is such a delicious coconut not found here?" Zhao Yun couldn't help but exclaim.
Yun Xiao Yi replied with a bright smile, "It's not that I don't want to cultivate them; it's just that only the humid and hot regions like Jiangzhou are suitable for their growth. Do you think Youzhou has such a climate?"
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "That is true. Our summers are scorching, and winters are frigid, making it indeed unsuitable for coconuts to thrive. However, such rare delicacies, once tasted, may never be enjoyed again."
Yun Xiao Yi comforted him casually, "Who knows? Once I finish researching the Swift Steed, I can take you on a journey to pick fresh coconuts and taste them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun asked in surprise, "What is the Swift Steed?"
Yun Xiao Yi beamed as she explained, "This horse is quite extraordinary; it can inherit the remarkable abilities of its predecessors. Generation after generation, its speed rivals that of light and shadow. Even on a journey of thousands of miles, it can traverse effortlessly within a day."
Wow!
As she finished speaking, everyone was astonished, unable to vividly imagine such a scene. It wasn't that they were unwilling to cultivate them; it was simply that only the humid and hot environment of Jiangzhou was suitable for coconut trees to grow.
After some contemplation, Zhao Yun nodded in acknowledgment:
"Indeed, our region suffers from severe drought in the summer and bitter cold in the winter, which is not conducive to the growth of coconuts. Moreover, this fruit is rare and hard to come by; once tasted, there may be no chance to savor it again."
Yun Xiao Yi patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and continued, "Things may not be so dire. Once I develop a fast mount, I can take you to Jiangzhou to enjoy freshly picked coconuts."
At these words, Zhao Yun was taken aback. "Fast mount? What kind of steed is that?"
Yun Xiao Yi revealed a radiant smile as he explained, "This is no ordinary horse; it possesses a unique magical legacy passed down through generations. Its speed rivals that of light itself. No matter how far the distance, it can return within a day."
Wow!
As he finished speaking, everyone around was stunned, struggling to envision such a scene.
A journey of thousands of miles completed in a single day? If one could ride such a steed, could they truly set off for Beihai and reach distant mountains by nightfall? This immortal was truly admirable!
Now, in their minds, they painted a picture of riding a divine steed at the speed of light, witnessing magnificent landscapes across vast distances in just one day.
Sipping fresh coconut water and tasting spicy grilled fish—life seemed so delightful. Especially compared to the previous era they had experienced, such leisurely moments were indeed rare.
In modern times, life moved at an overwhelmingly fast pace.
