"Girl, please speak." Huangfu was sitting down opposite Xia Qingyun and looked at her with a smile.

Xia Qingyun took a sip of the teacup before asking, "Excuse me, what kind of tea is this tea and what is its name?" ”

Huangfu was stunned, he didn't expect her to ask about this inconspicuous tea, he thought for a while and replied: "This is ordinary tea, and it doesn't have a name." Because of the slightly bitter taste, there are not many people who like to drink it. Why is the girl interested in it? ”

Xia Qingyun didn't answer immediately, but asked again: "So, does the old lady of the Huangfu family usually drink this tea?" ”

"Isn't there only one kind of tea?" Huangfu was strange, "Madame sometimes thinks it tastes bitter, so she will mix some honey into it." However, although this tea does not taste good, it can eliminate polydipsia and eliminate food accumulation, so large families always have some. ”

"Then I don't know where these teas are sold, and how much they are worth?" Xia Qingyun asked again.

"The country people don't like to drink this tea, so there is nothing to sell in the town." Huangfu replied, "These teas were brought by my son-in-law from the provincial capital, and there are several mountain goods stores where they are sold, and the price seems to be one tael of silver and one catty." ”

Xia Qingyun's heart blossomed happily at the moment. Such tea can actually be sold for one or two silver, and the best white peony can't be sold for hundreds of taels and one catty? It's been sent, it's sent, to hell with that old man Kim!

Although her heart fluttered like a deer, she was still silent on her face, and said lightly: "The little girl's family is in the deep mountains, and occasionally finds an ancient tea tree, and picks some buds into tea while the spring is clear, and I want to ask the Huangfu housekeeper to taste it, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

"Why not?" Huangfu was laughing, "Girl, just take the tea out, I'll let someone cook it." ”

Xia Qingyun smiled and shook his head, "I don't need to boil this tea, please help me boil a pot of boiling water and take four tea cups." ”

Listening to what she said was fresh, it also aroused Huang Fuzheng's curiosity, and he immediately instructed his subordinates according to his words.

After a while, the cook walked in with boiling water and a tea cup and placed them on the table.

Xia Qingyun took out a small bamboo tube, and there was more than half a tael of the best white peony in it.

She took off the lid of a cup, put it on the table, and poured a small handful of tea leaves from the bamboo tube and placed it on it.

Then he flipped over the other three cups and took off the lids of the remaining three cups, and poured hot water into the cups first, which was a warm cup.

Xia Qingyun calmed down, stretched out his jade finger and pinched the rim of a cup, poured out the water in the warm cup, and put the tea leaves into the cup. I touched the body of the kettle with the back of my hand to test the temperature of the water, and lifted the kettle high, and the water column was like a thin silver dragon poured into the cup, and then covered the lid.

Then pour out the three cups of hot water from the previous three cups. Only then did he smile and said to Huangfuzheng: "This tea is picked in the first round of buds of the tea tree, if it is boiled in boiling water for a long time, it will lose its aroma, and the tea soup will become bitter, so it can be brewed with only boiling water and a little sinking." ”

After speaking, she lifted the lid of the cup of tea and sniffed lightly, and a wisp of elegant dark fragrance wafted out of the tea cup.

Huangfu was smelling this faint aroma, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Xia Qingyun's movements with even more interest.

I saw her close the lid of the cup, but leaving a gap, raised her hand and gently pinched the teacup with her big and middle fingers, pressed the lid lightly with her index finger, and poured the tea evenly into the three empty teacups.

Xia Qingyun gently pushed one of the cups in front of Huangfu Zheng, "Huangfu Butler, please taste tea." ”

Then he handed another cup to Xia Huayun.

Huangfu was holding up the tea cup, and saw that the tea soup inside was bright and bright, with soft ripples, and he felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at it. Then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and the fragrance he had never smelled before enveloped his whole body. He took a soft sip, closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Huayun was stunned on the sidelines, whether this tea was good or not, why did he close his eyes and not say a word after drinking it?

"Wonderful!" Huangfu Zheng finally opened his eyes and let out an exclamation, "This tea should only be in the sky!" ”

Taking a shallow sip of tea, the tea soup is mellow and mellow, not at all as bitter as the previous drink. What's even more peculiar is that the tea fragrance is not only elegant and abnormal, but also mixed with a faint floral and fruity aroma, which is indescribably wonderful. is like a graceful woman with a graceful demeanor and a light veil, which makes people think about it and be fascinated by it.

Xia Qingyun pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's rare that the imperial housekeeper likes it." This tea is not only delicious, but also very good for the body. Drinking it often can light the body and keep the face ageless, so it is especially suitable for ladies and ladies. ”

Huangfu was holding up the teacup and taking a few sips, and praised sincerely: "I really can't find any words to describe this tea, this taste is simply amazing!" Even today's saints, I'm afraid they can't drink such good tea. Dare to ask the girl, does this tea have a name? ”

"Of course." Xia Qingyun's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his smile was extraordinarily cute, "Huangfu Butler, please take a look." ”

She pushed the cup of brewing this tea to the front of Huangfu, "This tea bud leaves are branched, white all over the body, the leaf buds hug each other, and the leaf edge is slightly rolled, just like the peony is just blooming, so it is called white peony." ”

"White peony, good name! The best, the best white peony! Huangfu Zheng praised again and again.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkled, and he asked excitedly, "May I ask the girl, how do you sell this tea?" How many you have, I want them all. ”

Such a high-quality drink, if the old lady knows, she will definitely like it, and maybe it will be offered to the emperor as a tribute.

Xia Qingyun was waiting for his words, and she said with a straight face: "Don't hide it from the emperor's housekeeper, this tea is extremely difficult to make, and I only have half a tael at present." ”

"Half two?" Huangfu is dumbfounded, what is half a tael enough for? If you put it in the emperor's house, you can't even drink it for half a day, and it's gone.

"However," Xia Qingyun hooked the corners of his mouth, "In less than half a month, I will be able to make a new batch, about two catties." ”

Huangfu was patting his thigh, "I want it all!" The price is yours. ”

Xia Qingyun was also very simple, "Okay, let's press one or two tea leaves and ten taels of silver, what do you think?" ”

What the? Xia Huayun next to him was so shocked that she almost jumped up, only one or two would cost ten taels of silver, is my sister crazy?

Huangfu was groaning slightly, nodded and agreed: "Okay, according to what you said, one tael of tea leaves and ten taels of silver." Today, I will pay the girl a deposit of fifty taels first, and the rest will be settled when the delivery is made. ”

Oh my mother! Xia Huayun was simply stunned, just like that, my sister earned fifty taels?

Xia Qingyun asked Huangfu to exchange ten taels of them for five hundred copper coins and scattered silver, and the rest was wrapped as it was and put into the back basket.

Before leaving, she handed the bamboo tube containing half a tael of white peonies to Huangfu Zheng and said, "Thank you Huangfu Butler for your insight, please accept this little care." ”

Huangfu was happily taking it in his hand and said with a smile: "The girl has seen the outside, so call me Uncle Zheng in the future." ”

"Uncle Zheng, the little girl will leave first." Xia Qingyun gave a bow and led his younger brother out of the Huangfu Mansion.

When he was about to walk to Fang City, Xia Huayun came to his senses, he pulled Xia Qingyun's sleeve and asked, "Sister, are we really rich?" Not dreaming, right? ”

Xia Qingyun snapped a shudder on his head, "Does it hurt?"

Hua Yun rubbed his forehead and grinned, it was really not a dream, a full hundred taels of white silver!

The people in Beixi Village can save three taels of silver a year, which is considered a good life, and now they have a hundred taels in their baskets! I'm afraid my father and mother have never seen so much silver in their lives!

Xia Qingyun took advantage of his inattention and put the whole ingot of silver into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible. The rest of the scattered silver and copper coins she was going to use to make a big purchase.

The first thing I had to do was to go to a shoe shop, where I bought two pairs of plain cloth shoes for everyone in the family. After paying, she put on a pair first, and the days without shoes really made her fed up.

Hua Yun put on new cloth shoes, and Meimei couldn't even walk, he felt that every step was like stepping on cotton, soft, not to mention how comfortable!

Next, they went to the cloth shop, rice store, grocery store, and the back basket was stuffed to the brim, and it was really impossible to fit it, so Xia Qingyun stopped unsatisfied.

led his younger brother to the market, bought more than a dozen bacon glutinous rice balls, ordered two bowls of hot and sour rice noodles, and the sister and brother ate a round belly before happily going home.

When I got home, my father and mother saw the things that the two of them were carrying, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the door and asked what was going on.

Xia Qingyun explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that the fairy gave me a good thing?" These are bought with the money it was exchanged for. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out of the basket in the same way.

"These are cloth shoes, two pairs per person. The black cloth and the blue cloth are three zhang each, which belong to Dad and Huayun. The blue cloth is for my mother, and the plain cloth is for me and my little sister. Two catties of sugar, ten catties of rice and ten catties of noodles, five catties of oil, as well as hot sauce and salt"

Daddy and little sister were dazzled.

"How much does it cost to buy so many things?" Mother asked.

"Money! Where's our money, sister? Hua Yun shouted anxiously. He saw that the back basket was emptied, and he didn't see the silver ingots, could it be that they were stolen by thieves on the road?

Xia Qingyun waved his hand, and there were nine silver ingots and a pile of scattered silver on the table out of thin air.

"Huh?" Daddy and Xiaomei rubbed their eyes desperately, Daddy's fingers trembled and touched the shiny ingots, and his lips trembled with excitement, "Qingyun, I'm not dreaming, right?" Is this really the money you've earned? ”

"Dad, it's not a dream! We really have money! Hua Yun hurriedly said, he quite understood his father's mood at this time.

"Sister! Sister! Where did you come up with so many ingots? The little sister shook Xia Qingyun's hand.

"This is a trick that the fairy taught me." Xia Qingyun said.

She has thought all the way for a long time, and now that she has solved the urgent need, she will do a lot of work next.

If she wants to make money by making tea, she can't do it on her own, she has to mobilize the whole family. First of all, let the family know the secrets of the Rooy Treasure Pavilion and ensure that they cannot be passed on.

So she deliberately showed such a hand and calmed the field first.

Seeing that the whole family was convinced, she continued: "The fairy also gave me a treasure, but only our family can know that if it is known by outsiders, the queen mother will take the treasure back, and we will also be retributed by the thunder of the sky." ”

She deliberately said it very strictly. I secretly said in my heart, I'm sorry, I have no choice but to scare everyone.

Daddy nodded frequently, "If you want it, the queen mother's baby is not light to get, if you make the mother angry, the sky will thunder and split, and if you don't get it, you will go to eighteen layers of hell." ”

Xia Qingyun pursed her lips and tried her best to hold back a laugh. I didn't expect my father and mother to be so good, so I don't think there is anything to worry about.
