Chapter 20 Roasted Tea and Game

The days are moving forward on the road of Yan Jing's efforts to improve her writing skills, and she has already read half of her language books. Midterm exams are coming up next week. Most people are trying to revise hard and get a good score in the first exam of the new semester, and it is the big exam. A small number of people still do what they should do, and Yan Jing is this small number of people. People don't like to read, they don't want to read, she doesn't feel like she has no expectations. Anyway, she would have done it a long time ago, so she didn't have to cram.

She is now worried that her flowers and plants are ripe and can be picked, but where to dry them and where to concoct them when they are picked are all things. I was full of energy and imagination before, but now I know how difficult the reality is.

Nothing else, she was going to buy gauze (for making tofu and draining water), and I heard that it was made into a screen window to dry things and ventilate. She decided to buy a roll, and she couldn't afford the other containers. This one went back to find a few sticks of wood and hammers and nails, and went to the space to make a screen window, which can hold those things and dry them directly, which is really a lot of money. The main thing is that it is not expensive, and now Yan Jing is poor.

After going to the store to buy gauze, I walked to a place where no one was and put him in the space, and then went back to school, to go back to evening self-study, she took advantage of the dinner gap and came out after dark, for fear that it would be bad to meet acquaintances.

When I went home on the weekend, I had already picked a lot of tea leaves in Yanjing Space, and the tea leaves could be picked for three consecutive days at a time. Yan Jing was thinking of making up some reason to ask her grandmother to help fry the tea, and the other three things only need to be dried directly, this is okay, she will dry the roof tomorrow, and then lock the door on the roof. No one went up, and this year the crops were flooded, and there was nothing to dry, and the peanuts were all dried. She took the path back to the mountains to go home.

First in the mountains, roll up the pile of tea leaves with gauze and carry them on their backs. Then she went home, and she planned to say that she went to their mountain with her classmates to pick tea, anyway, grandma sometimes went to other places with the villagers to pick tea. At most, a few words are spoken.

Yan Jing walked on the village road with a big bag on her back. A villager asked: "Xiaojing, what are you doing here, carrying such a big bag." ”

Yan Jing said: "What about the tea I picked with my classmates." ”

The man was surprised, "How dangerous it is for you children to go up the mountain, go back quickly." Don't go again. Yan Jing didn't reply much, and hurriedly ran home, she was in good health now. When I got home, my grandparents were all at home.

Knowing that she is now home every Friday around this time, so try not to go out. Grandpa Yan saw that his eyes were carrying a big burden, so he hurriedly followed, and then asked what the villager asked before, and was reprimanded by grandpa and grandma, and promised that there would be no next time, and finally asked grandma to make tea for her at night.

Stir-frying tea at night, Yan Jing stared at every step of Grandma Yan, and each step was involved in one step, striving to learn, and next time she would fry it herself while they were not at home. Although I checked the steps on the Internet before, there is no actual operation, so it is better to be familiar with it by yourself. The whole process takes about 1 and a half hours to fry, and after the tea leaves are fried, they are placed on gauze to dry.

Then Yan Jing went to the firewood room to find suitable wood, and secretly threw it into the space, and then threw her grandfather's knife and some bamboo strips into the space, and went to the room to find a hammer and some nails. She planned to go into the space at night when her brother fell asleep and nail all the gauze into a screen window so that he could dry it tomorrow. But Jasmine, she's going to be drying it next week, and she's going to try making jasmine tea.

After taking a shower, wait until everyone is asleep. Yan Jing entered the space, and when she flipped it, she cut wood and broke bamboo. Then I cut and nailed and hammered, and finally made three screens. The rest of the frame is done, but the gauze is drying the tea leaves, and when the tea leaves are dried tomorrow, they say that they are classmates, and they will be returned to him to take them back and nail them. I freshened up again before going back to bed~ to sleep. It's really a good thing to lose the transformation, and I have a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Yan Jing went to the roof of the building to dry the wolfberries and chrysanthemum ~ flowers, locked the door, and then let the grandmother find two plastic bags for the dried tea leaves, and left a small half at home for the grandparents to soak in water to drink. The other said that he was going to send it to his classmates. The grandparents didn't say anything, just asked Yanjing to get along with her classmates. Yan Jing said: "Grandpa, grandma, I know. I get along well with my classmates, so it's not like that. I'll make tea for you to drink. Let's see if our grandmother's craftsmanship has risen. Without waiting for the two elders to answer, Yan Jing hurriedly ran to get the kettle to make tea.

When Yan Jing brewed the tea, the long aroma was really indescribably natural and mellow. Anyway, even if she doesn't understand tea, she thinks that this must be good tea. Grandpa hurriedly picked it up and took a sip. It's very comfortable to squint.

Yan Jing saw it and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you will drink more tea in the future, don't smoke, it's not good for your health, and you enjoy drinking tea." ”

At this time, Grandma Yan also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and exclaimed: "Xiaojing, where did you pick the tea, this taste is real, it can't be that my craftsmanship has improved." This must be the tea itself. ”

Yan Jing said: "I don't know the way, I won't go myself if I follow them." ”

Grandma Yan said, "Oh, forget it. "I guess I want Yan Jing to take her to recognize the way, and she can pick it up later, but that is Yan Jing's fiction, so she has to block the back road first. She couldn't let her find her classmates, this tea was so delicious. People will definitely not bring it with them when they go back.

Grandpa Yan put away the tea leaves and said, "This tea is so delicious, keep it for guests." ”

Yan Jing said anxiously: "I'll give you most of it, I won't take it to my classmates." Yan Jing was really afraid that they wouldn't drink it in the future, so she simply gave them all. Later, I picked it myself and fried it myself.

As a result, Grandpa Yan said stubbornly: "If you give it to your classmates, you still have to send it, and they will take you there." When the time comes, everyone will send it, and if you don't send it, doesn't it seem that we are too stingy. "Yan Jing is speechless, anyway, you have all improved your health, and it is not bad to drink this tea. So there was no arguing, but Grandma Yan seemed to be quite reluctant.

When they all went out, Yan Jing nailed the last screen and put all the tools back in their place. Then I looked for a barrel with a lid at home, but I didn't find it. That should be at grandma's house.

Yan Jing saw it at her grandmother's house before, but she didn't move over. No, Yan Jing went around the house again and found a plastic bucket with a lid, she poured the tea and jasmine into it and stirred well, then covered it and put it in the space. Before the sun went down, Yan Jing went upstairs to put the dried things into the space.

In the middle of the night, Yan Jing entered the space again, she wanted to see how the jasmine tea was, and when she opened the lid, the fragrance was overflowing. Yan Jing hurriedly stirred them again and covered them again. Then went back to sleep.

Yan Jing was thinking that she couldn't make a lot of money, she should be able to make a little money now, she had a lot of small things to buy, and she couldn't ask her family for money. The barrel that concocted jasmine tea had to buy a log barrel with a lid, and the plastic one was not good. But wooden ones are more expensive.

And these flower teas are ready, she doesn't have anything to pack, and she wants to buy books and other small things. Yan Jing thought that her physical function was so good now. I don't know if I can catch the game in the mountains. How expensive those wild meat were in my previous life. Although now is not as good as later.

But the rabbit I bought at my grandfather's house before cost thirty or forty. Yan Jing decided to go to the back mountain early when she went back to school, and if she could catch it, she would sell it to the uncle who was collecting wild meat.

Early the next morning, Yan Jing hid into the space and poured jasmine tea on the window screen, then took out the plastic bucket and put it back in its place. Jasmine, chrysanthemum ~ flowers and wolfberries were sunburned on the roof of the building as yesterday. In the afternoon, Yan Jing collected the things on the roof, and told her grandparents that the school had left beforehand, and now that the water has receded and she is familiar with it, her grandfather will not send it again.

Yan Jing left the village and turned around the back mountain, threw the things in his hand and his backpack into the space, and then stopped and listened to the sound. I listened carefully for a while, and after listening carefully, I found that there was a cooing sound from the grass in front of me. It should be a turtledove, Yan Jing quietly approached a little closer after confirming the location of the voice, and then quickly pounced, grabbed ~ the wings of a turtledove that was about to fly, and the others were startled.

I took the straw rope I brought at home, tied my legs, threw it into the space, and continued to walk into the mountains, but I didn't see any wild meat after walking for half a day.

This mountain is small, and there may not be many animals in the first place, so Yan Jing is ready to go back to school. Suddenly, I saw a gray shadow flashing in front of me, Yan Jing's hand was faster than his brain, and he had already stretched out his leg and reached out to drag the animal running in front of him, it was really in one go. When you look at it, you really want to laugh three times, a fat hare. The rabbit in autumn is fat, and it has to be 3 or 4 pounds. Well, just sell this rabbit and turtledove, and Yan Jing's wooden barrel can be bought.

Tied up and lost all the space, Yan Jing quickened her pace and walked towards the school, first went to the street, went to a place where there was no one, took out a schoolbag and took out rabbits and turtledoves to the store that collected game, Yan Jing walked with things and walked to the middle-aged uncle who was standing on the edge of a bunch of cages and said, "Uncle, hello." Look at how I collect this. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the rabbit and turtledove and handed them to the middle-aged uncle. The middle-aged man's surname was Cai, he looked at the game handed to him, took a closer look, and found that it was alive and there was no wound, so he looked up at Yan Jing in surprise. This glance was even more astonishing, he had been looking down and counting before, and there was no one who came in.

When he looked up, he saw that it was a delicate and beautiful girl in her teens, and she was very surprised: "Little girl, why are you here to sell your prey, what about your family?" ”

Uncle Cai thought that the adults were looking out from behind. Yan Jing said: "I came by myself, the adults in the family have something, I just happened to come to school, so I brought it over and sold it, and they told me the price and where to sell it, so I came over." Uncle, look at how much this is, it's all alive, without a little injury, and it can be raised. Please hurry up, I'll go to school later. ”

When Uncle Cai heard that it was a frequent visitor, he wanted to ask about that house, but seeing that the little girl was waiting to go back to school, he didn't interrogate and said: "I'll weigh the rabbit first, and the turtledove will cost 8 yuan a piece." Then he weighed the rabbit for almost 4 pounds.

Yan Jing also looked at it and said, afraid that he would see that he was short of two pounds. After weighing Uncle Cai, he said: "4 catties are almost, 12 catties, a total of even if you are four catties and 50 turtledoves." ”

Yan Jing saw that this person was very good at talking, and he was not short of catties or two, maybe he had done a good job of foreshadowing before, and continued: "Okay, thank you, uncle, uncle is so easy to talk, next time if you catch game at home, I will bring this to sell." Usually my grandfather sells it outside a stall, but I think your price is about the same as outside. In the future, let my grandfather sell it to you directly. ”

Uncle Cai began to think that it was a regular customer, so he didn't press the scales, but he didn't expect it to be a retail investor who set up a stall outside, but he didn't think about playing any tricks, looking at the little girl, although she was young, she spoke very shrewdly, and she often came to sell in his store in the future.

This is really a good deal, so he also said happily: "It's really good, if they are all living creatures without injury, I can increase the price for you." The little girl is so smart, this is 50 yuan for you, put it away, don't lose it. ”

Yan Jing thanked Uncle Xie and walked out of the store, went to a small grocery store, bought a dozen small transparent bags that could be sealed, and prepared to pack tea, wolfberry, chrysanthemum ~ flower and jasmine, and then went to the carpentry shop to pick out a good size round wooden barrel with a lid. asked the clerk to move to a deserted alley, sent the clerk away, Yan Jing took it into the space, and then walked back to school.
