Chapter 187: Kuding Tea
"Uh...... Immunity means...... If you have chickenpox, you won't get chickenpox again! You Xiaoya's heart was sweating, this academic question, she said that she couldn't explain it, so she could only fool it......
"Huh?" Jin Yuandong listened to You Xiaoya's explanation, but he still didn't quite understand, in other words, didn't his mother already say this?
"Don't you understand? Ask my brother, and my brother knows what's going on! You Xiaoya didn't care about Jin Yuanjiang, who was blue on the side, and after finishing speaking, she hugged Jin Yuanyuan and left like no one else.
Behind him, Jin Yuandong's puzzled voice sounded: "Brother, what is 'immunity'?" ”
"Mother, Yuanyuan wants to eat walnut crisp ......"
"Well, but eat walnuts first, if it's crispy, it's not ready yet, let's eat it in a few days~"
"Hmmm! It's best to be a mother~"
Today, because of the appointment with Lin Bingsheng and them, after the three dolls were settled, You Xiaoya dressed up and went to the banquet place that Jin Shouzhong and they prepared yesterday.
She is not a person who knows how to be vassal, but when she thinks of Lin Xi and Xiao Huaigong's chic and wanton, light and elegant, she feels that if this banquet is too formal, it will be too boring, so she set the banquet venue in a plum forest not far from the lake.
The Jin family in summer does not have much purple and red, and it is full of greenery as far as the eye can see, and now it is the time of green plums, and the cooking wine is also quite elegant, and You Xiaoya also plans to do so.
There are a few big stones in the plum forest that I don't know what year and month they put in it, most of them have been submerged in the land, and the place left behind can be used for rest, You Xiaoya let people clean it up and put a square tea tray on it, which was prepared for Xiao Huaigong.
Not far away, under a huge plum tree that does not know the year, a small stove is slowly heating up under the heating of charcoal fire.
Seeing that this arrangement was very different from what she thought, so You Xiaoya moved to the kitchen again, after all, if you invite someone to eat or something, you still need to eat a full stomach if you have a mood. Of course, she wasn't going to go into battle herself. Just pointing out to make something special to come out.
By the time she came out of the kitchen, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, but it was also at this time that news came in from outside. said that Lin Xi and they arrived.
Originally, Lin Xi and the others thought that this appointment was just a small gathering between three or two friends, and Tai Ban was also a small hall or pavilion where everyone gathered to talk about some innocuous topics, so it was good to be happy.
But I didn't want You Xiaoya to set up the tea place in a quiet and comfortable plum forest, and the arrangement should be natural but accommodating nature. It only took a moment for them to relax completely.
And after entering the Merlin, there were only two little boys who added tea and changed water, chirping birds and singing in the breeze, saying that in this hot summer day, such tranquility can win people's favor the most.
And Lin Xi and Xiao Huaigong were originally informal, free and easy characters, so even if You Xiaoya hadn't arrived yet, they each found a comfortable stone to sit down.
After a while, You Xiaoya came in plain clothes.
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time."
"Excuse me, Madame."
After You Xiaoya came, the two children who had stayed in the forest began to make tea and pick plums.
"Isn't it too early to eat plums?" Lin Bingsheng looked at the green and round plums on the plate. Unconsciously in the mouth, I just felt the profound meaning of Wangmei's thirst.
"Of course, it's not the way to eat." You Xiaoya picked up a plum and glanced at everyone, pretending to be mysterious, and finally glanced at the little boy next to him, and he trotted all the way to Merlin.
"Looks like Madame left us a surprise!" Lin Xi swept his sleeves and waved at You Xiaoya.
He is still wearing elegant and free Wei Jin clothes today, but it is a little more formal than in the past, You Xiaoya knows that his change is just to show his attention and respect for her invitation. Although she doesn't pay much attention to this, being respected or something still makes people feel good after all.
"Surprises can't be overstated. It's just a local material, and it's just right. You Xiaoya smiled and returned the salute, and then made a gesture of invitation, intending to let everyone sit down.
"The hardest thing in the world is that this is just right. We'll see what to do next! ”
After that, just as You Xiaoya had planned in advance, a cup of bitter tea brewed by a child, the rich medicinal aroma and tea aroma were mixed together, and the entrance was extremely bitter and sweet, which instantly attracted the attention of the three of them.
"Dare to ask Madame, what kind of tea is this? Why does it smell the way it does? The first to speak was naturally Xiao Huaigong, who loved tea the most.
"Kuding tea," You Xiaoya replied.
......As expected, her answer was unheard of by the three people present. And the reason why You Xiaoya knows. That's because when I was a child, I planted such a Kuding tea at my grandmother's house in the countryside that 'only the poor can drink'.
But that's just a statement in the past, because in the early 20s, Kuding tea was also an endangered plant, and her grandmother's Kuding tea had a very low yield, and only when You Xiaoya went, her grandmother would pick a few leaves and soak them in water for her to eat.
At that time, she still hated it very much, but she didn't expect that the tea tree would die within a few years, so that she couldn't find a place to drink it later.
But after coming here, she found that there are quite a lot of this kind of tea, and there are a lot of them planted in the Jin family's house, but this kind of tea is too bitter because of the taste and too much, so very few people take it to heart, and only the poor family will pick a few pieces to soak in water and drink it when they want to drink tea.
"But why does it smell like herbs?" Xiao Huaigong asked if he didn't understand.
"It's astragalus" is worthy of Lin Xi, who has taken medicine for many years, and you will know it when you smell it.
"Kuding tea is a kind of tea with strong coldness, so I put astragalus and stir-fry it together." You Xiaoya took a sip of tea soup and explained.
"I see, but what kind of tea is this 'Kuding Tea'?" Xiao Huaigong is the first time to hear of such a tea-making method, but he really doesn't know anything about this Kuding tea.
"Well, how about I tell Brother Huai Gong when you leave?" You Xiaoya deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Mystery?" Lin Xi smiled, and poured himself another cup of tea by the way.
You Xiaoya smiled silently, and at this time, the little boy who had gone out to get wine walked over from the path with a wine jug.
"Madame, the wine you wanted."
"Put it over there." You Xiaoya pointed to the small stove where water was boiling not far away.
The little boy answered and put the wine over, and when he was done, he ran to You Xiaoya and said, "Madam, the steward of Jin asked me to come and talk to the lady, and the eldest prince of Qi from outside came to visit with the little prince of his family, saying that he came to visit the fifth prince." ”
