Pepper man hooked us up

At the market we always stop at the booth where the dreadlocked blonde guy sells peppers, cucumbers, and live orchids.  I let Amiri pick out the peppers and the guy always makes friendly little jokes about what a good helper he is for mum.  I respond that the little boy always picks good ones, since there isn't a bad one in the lot.

I'm sure the merchant recognizes us as regulars.  This time he gave me an elegant bouquet of tropical flowers on the house.  Aren't they pretty?

"Peppers" meaning hot chili peppers, not the capsicums?
