"You've heard of the plant, chili? It's the main ingredient for hot pot." Gu Chengrui asked.
"I know. It's the red and spicy one." Second Uncle Gu nodded.
"Yes, we don't produce chili in this area, so it's 30% more expensive to import. So we were going to propose that they plant it, and we'd supply the seeds.
"There are also various kinds of vegetables we need. If anyone can grow them, the restaurant will buy from them." Gu Chengrui replied.
"Farming, huh." Second Uncle Gu lost interest when he heard this.
"Chengrui, do you know about the production quantity of chili?" Gu Chengzhi asked curiously.
He couldn't leave for an outstation trip for a year or two because his wife was pregnant. He could try it out if the income from planting chili were good.
"I'm not sure about the details, but I heard it's more cost-effective than growing normal grains and vegetables, and they don't need particularly fertile land." Gu Chengrui replied vaguely.
