One hundred and five

Although he was amazed by Zhao Chengjin's scorching face, Xu Yu quickly calmed down, tried very hard to make an indifferent gesture and smiled at him, and then began to pretend to be stupid.

After the rain stopped, the carriage continued to move forward, the great monk stayed in the temple, before leaving, he asked Ah Chu for two packets of braised pork, Ah Chu gave it very happily, he even pulled the big monk's clothes and asked: "Uncle Great Monk, if you have nowhere to go, why don't you go to the tea garden with us." ”

The big monk waved his hand in disgust, "Don't go, this temple is very good, and I will go to play elsewhere when I get tired of staying with the monk in a few days." As he spoke, his sharp eyes looked at Xu Yu again, and Zhao Chengjin immediately blocked the front again.

After saying goodbye to the great monk, the carriage walked for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the tea plantation. Shen Rong had been waiting at the gate of the garden for a long time, and when he saw their carriage driving in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and said, "The prince is finally here, it suddenly rained heavily before, and I was afraid that you would be stuck on the road." ”

"Stopped halfway to hide from the rain," Zhao Chengjin took the lead in getting out of the carriage, and reached out to pick up Ah Chu, but Ah Chu was very naughty, and jumped down by himself with a smile, Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan wanted to help Xu You, but she waved her hand and refused, she is not too good to adapt to the two maids around her, most of the time, always like to support them as far away as possible, which also makes Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan particularly crisis.

Seeing Shen Rong, Xu You was quite happy, greeted him with a smile, and then looked around. After the new rain, the air in the valley is unusually fresh, and with every breath, I feel that the turbidity in my lungs is gradually emptied, and every cell in my body is refreshed, and my spirit is also refreshed.

"Sister Xiaoxue, it's so beautiful here." Ah Chu was so excited that he wanted to jump up, the teapot had already spread his legs and was running around, Xiao Lu flew a few laps, didn't want to move, and simply stopped on the back of the teapot and was carried by it. Xu You looked at the teapot and suddenly felt a little distressed, although she had done this kind of thing before to bully the teapot, but today is different from the past, the teapot was still strong at that time, but now it has begun to age, compared to the "young and strong" Xiao Lulai, the teapot is in a weak position.

"Come down!" Before Xu You could speak, Zhao Chengjin summoned Xiao Lu over and whispered, "Don't bully the teapot." It's too old to carry you. ”

Xiao Lu seemed to be a little frightened by Zhao Chengjin, and after listening to his words, he immediately became honest, squatted aside obediently, and never dared to mess around again. The teapot was still running around stupidly, but every time it ran for a while, it wagged its tail in front of Xu You to be coquettish, and when Xu You smoothed its hair, it ran away to another place with satisfaction.

Shen Rong had already prepared a place to live in the tea garden and led everyone into the house to rest. Although he only walked for half a day, it was already a little unbearable for Xu You, who didn't go out much on weekdays, and after hastily having lunch, Xu You went back to the house to sleep.

She didn't sleep for long, but she slept well, and when she woke up, she only felt that she had strength all over her body. The sound of Ah Chu talking came from the yard, mixed with the sound of Xiao Lu and the teapot playing, Xu You stretched his waist and pushed open the window, and a bright red peach blossom came in, and there were undried raindrops on the petals, making the flowers more and more delicate.

"Sister, Sister Xiaoxue-" Ah Chu waved at her happily, "Come out and play, Brother Ah Rong said, there are straw mushrooms in the mountains, let's go pick them together." ”

Zhao Cheng sat on the Taishi chair under the eaves and smiled at her.

But they finally didn't go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, Shen Rong said that the mountains are dark early, I'm afraid I have to come back just after entering the mountains, and it has rained today, and the road on the mountain is slippery, so it's not easy to walk. So, they had to postpone the event to the next day.

Xu You came to the tea garden this time, mainly to guide tea making, although Shen Rong also specially bought a few tea farmers who can make tea, but for this new tea making method, everyone knows nothing, and even when to pick tea is at a loss, all counting on Xu You.

Of course, Xu You believes that with the wisdom of the tea farmers and the tea making method she offered, they will sooner or later understand better than her, but now, Xu You still feels that he has a unique advantage. If there are shortcuts, why spend so much time trying to keep trying.

The next day the weather was fine, and it was a good day for tea making. Xu You got up early in the morning and changed into men's clothes, left behind the matter of going to the mountain to pick mushrooms, and went to the tea garden with Zhao Chengjin to watch the tea with great interest. Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan are very far away, both of them have served in a big family, and they feel very good, they have already figured out Zhao Chengjin's meaning in the past few days. Anyway, they will marry into the palace with Xu You in the future, if they offend the future male owner at this time, it will really outweigh the losses.

Although it had rained the day before, the road on the mountain was not difficult to walk, and Xu You only walked around the foot of the mountain to see how the tea was growing.

"Can you make it?" Shen Rong asked a little nervously. To be honest, the capital is not superior to the south, and it is not particularly suitable for growing tea, he spent a lot of energy in order to find this tea garden, but fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally he found this place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the fog is hazy, and he bought a few gardens in Fujian a little tired. But whether it can produce good tea, Shen Rong still has little confidence.

Xu You picked a few bud tips and looked at them carefully, rubbed them open and smelled the smell, and nodded, "Ming'er will let people pick them early in the morning." Because it is Touyuan tea, as long as the buds are tipped. After a few days, the second batch will be picked, one bud and one leaf, which is also the best product. By the way, are the tools ready...... "She asked about the various equipment one by one, Shen Rong also answered one by one, and Zhao Chengjin kept staring at Xu You, as if he had never seen her before.

They walked around the garden until the sun had risen high before returning to the garden. On the way back, Xu You really couldn't stand Zhao Chengjin's hot gaze, and finally couldn't help but squeeze his eyes at him, and whispered, "Why are you staring at me?" His gaze is simply too sticky, sweeter than sugar, and it is also a loss that Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan are far away, and Shen Rong is usually a calm and indifferent face, otherwise, Xu You would have to die of shame.

Zhao Chengjin didn't feel that his gaze was too excessive at all, and said to her with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen you so serious and dedicated, and I think it's interesting." "It's not just interesting, it's so charming, her eyes seem to be shining, and her already beautiful face is even more eye-catching, and people can't take their eyes off it.

Xu You was so confused by his straightforward tone that she couldn't do anything at all, she quietly glanced at Shen Rong, Shen Rong didn't seem to see the two of them, strode forward, and after a while, the two of them were left far behind, as for Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan, Xu You couldn't see them anymore.

"The road is slippery on the mountain, you be careful." Zhao Chengjin suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, Xu You was stunned for a moment, his body was a little stiff, but Zhao Chengjin didn't seem to notice it at all, and naturally came over to hold her hand again, the expression on his face was as calm and natural as ever, "Look, it's slippery again, I have to hold you, otherwise I will fall again in a while." ”

When did she slip her feet, obviously she has been walking very steadily, how can Zhao Chengjin, this guy, be so arrogant.

Then, he took her hand back to the yard, and Xu You tried to quietly withdraw his hand several times along the way, but he never succeeded. She suddenly remembered that the great monk came, and he never answered the question asked Zhao Chengjin yesterday, and Xu You was a little skeptical that the great monk had said something particularly scary.

"That...... What did the great monk tell you? Xu You's heart was very itchy, as if a cat's paw was slowly scratching, and finally he couldn't help but ask again. What are the twists and turns? Does the Queen Mother disagree, or does His Majesty the Emperor disagree? Or, neither of them agree?

Zhao Chengjin looked at her with a smile, and the corners of his mouth hooked up uncontrollably, "Xiaoxue is worried?" Worried about our marriage? He was so happy that his mouth was open, and anyone with eyes could see the joy in his heart at this time, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with me." Xiaoxue just needs to prepare for marriage with peace of mind. ”

Xu You really had no way to deal with him, turned his head, and said angrily: "Don't talk about pulling it." ”

Zhao Cheng saw that she was angry, and immediately softened, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'm with you." That great monk...... Gave me a tip and said it would be opened at a critical moment. He actually deliberately tricked me at that time, and when I went over to ask, he didn't marry us at all. "I have to say that the big monk's eyes are very powerful, and he can see at a glance that his weakness is on Xu You.

"Tips?" Xu You was extremely curious, this is just like Zhuge Liang, someone can really calculate it to this point, "Is it this one on your waist?" Her eyes swept over the purse on Zhao Chengjin's waist, and when she saw the appearance of the purse, Xu You's face suddenly changed, the ugly, very dull purse was the one she gave many years ago.

It's been so many years, the purse isn't very good-looking, it's been washed many times, and it's already wrinkled, and it doesn't match the clothes on Zhao Chengjin's body at all. Xu You felt a little overwhelmed, so he whispered: "You change this, how ugly it is, it's like a rag pocket." ”

Zhao Cheng responded kindly, and said, "Then you can make a new one for me first." Seeing Xu You frowning, he hurriedly said, "When you are ready, I will change it immediately." ”

This means that if she doesn't make a new one for him, he will always wear such a rag bag everywhere to embarrass people, he won't still wear this thing into the palace, the Meng family's face has been lost by her! Fortunately, she doesn't have any sisters or sisters, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get married.

However, if Zhao Chengjin was really allowed to carry a rag bag around every day, Xu You felt unbearable.

In the afternoon, Xu You accompanied Ah Chu to pick a large basket of mushrooms in the mountains, and in the evening, she finally picked up the needle and thread, ready to make a new purse for Zhao Chengjin. Although her craftsmanship is not very good, but in the end she has studied with Mrs. Meng for a few years, although the clothes are rough, but there is no problem with making a purse, as for whether the embroidery on the top is good or bad, it depends on the aesthetic level of the appreciator. Anyway, Xu You felt that he was embroidering quite well.

The next day, the tea plantation finally began to harvest the first tea leaves of the new year.

In the morning, Xu Yu didn't have much to do, just watched the tea farmers spread out the picked buds, and by noon, she began to get busy.

More than a dozen cauldrons were lined up in the courtyard of the tea-making yard, and there was already a fire in the stove, Xu You stretched out his hand and felt the temperature in the pot rise a little bit. When the palm of her hand felt hot, she picked up the young shoots on the side and poured them into the pot, and began to stir-fry with both hands.

Zhao Chengjin on the side was already dumbfounded, and immediately changed color, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, his eyes were red in a hurry, "Xiaoxue, you...... Hurry up and don't get it, it's so hot here......" When he spoke, he clearly saw that Xu You's hands were already burning red, and his hands and feet suddenly became a little weak. Seeing that this was wrong, Xu You quickly stopped, grabbed a young man who was staring at her intently and said, "You come, just follow the method I just said." ”

The young man immediately responded "yes", and then swallowed his saliva, a little nervous, and a little excited to take over Xu Yu's position just now, and began to stir up.

"The technique of stir-frying is very important, if the technique is not right, the shape of the fried tea will be affected, the level of the tea is uneven, not even and beautiful, and the price will also be affected......" Xu You made a "you can rest assured" look at Zhao Cheng, and immediately began to preach to the workers in the yard.

Shen Rong was very cautious to separate all the workers in the several steps of tea making, and those who could enter the courtyard to learn at this time had signed a death contract, so he was not worried that the craft of making tea would spread so quickly.

Xu You kept staring at the situation of the tea leaves in the pot, and at the same time silently calculated the time in his heart, and when the tea leaves in the pot began to be a little sticky, the young man quickly swept out the tea leaves, and then went to the next yard to teach people to knead and shape.

Kneading requires hand strength, Xu You rubbed it for a while, sweat appeared on his forehead, Zhao Cheng was really distressed, and took the initiative to take the work, Xu You was not polite, and immediately let go.

"This tea doesn't seem to be quite the same as the last one." Zhao Cheng had a nose and immediately discovered the problem. Xu You's face suddenly looked appreciative, "You found out so quickly?" This is green tea, and the preparation method is different from the last one. This time is the right time to make this kind of tea, and the kind I drank last time I had to wait. ”

In the afternoon, all the tea leaves were fried, and the stove was set up to roast over low heat, and on the second day, the tea leaves were made. The small courtyard was filled with a strong fragrance of tea, and even Ah Chu, who doesn't drink tea on weekdays, praised it again and again that the taste was fresh and elegant, and it smelled very good.

Shen Rong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon of the same day, a fast horse brought two catties of freshly fried tea into Beijing, and early the next morning, it was personally sent to the emperor's desk by Prince Rui.
