The restaurant is under renovation but Shunzi didn't remain idle. Recently, he moved into Gu Youyou's house, under her guidance, to focus solely on making various spicy fish dishes.
Gu Youyou asked, "Chilies are hard to come by since nobody has grown them before. Have you solved this problem?"
Shunzi chuckled and said, "The chili peppers have already been planted. When we escaped, the most we brought with us were chili pepper seeds. I mentioned this to Miss Du last time, and she generously rented a small manor for me. It's not far from both Beijing and Jinxiu City."
Gu Youyou burst into laughter, praising him, "Well done, Shunzi, you've learned to plan ahead. I'd forgotten to mention this to you before and thought you had forgotten about it."
"How could I?" Shunzi replied. "If the fish doesn't have chilies, the flavor is never quite right. I've been using chilies for the fish, and Erya absolutely loves it."
