Chapter 81: Bad News

Yao Xili and Zhengbo are relatives, and they have been doing business in the capital for a long time, and the two are familiar with each other. After a moment of greeting, he excused himself and said goodbye.

Before leaving, he said to Xia Qingyun: "Miss Qingyun, I will return to Beijing tomorrow, and the matter of the teahouse will be decided after discussing with my mother, maybe I will have to bother the girl to go to the capital in person." ”

After that, he glanced at Xia Qingyun deeply.

Xia Qingyun lowered his eyes and said that he was tired and didn't send him out. This made Huangfu Xiangdong feel that she was embarrassed in front of people, and she looked forward to the blessings of Qi people in the future.

"Qingyu girl, I have found a few clever little servants in Yaxing, and they have been sent to the farm, so as not to disturb your peace here." Yao Xili sent the emperor away to the east, and talked to Xia Qingyun about the preparations for the teahouse with great interest.

"I see that the emperor's face is very happy, and I don't think I will embarrass you in the contract. Huangfu is also one of the best in the country, and it doesn't care about this little thing. ”

"Also, today in the restaurant, I invited a few friends to taste your new Bitan Drifting Snow, they unanimously praised, eager to let me go home to get tea immediately, and many diners came to ask, haha! As soon as our teahouse opens, this business will not be hot! ”

Xia Qingyun said with a smile: "Third uncle, I also brought a lot of new tea, even if you take it to your friends, it can be regarded as a publicity for our teahouse." However, the matter of the teahouse should be postponed for a while, and the decision will be made when there is an answer from the emperor's son. ”

The three companies do business together, in case there is a mistake, it is a small matter to lose some silver, if it affects the Hua family and the Yao family, how can I go to my heart's content.

"It's good!" Yao Xili admires her for her calmness. "Then I'll go back to the farm first, you can rest for a few days, and we'll move when the Huangfu family has a reply!"

took a few kinds of new tea for Yao Xili to take away, Xia Qingyun ordered his subordinates to close the door and thank the guests, and flashed into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

The smell of roasted rabbits came, and as far as the eye could see, Cher and Qingmei set up a grill by the lake, on which a slipped of washed and peeled hares was set up, and roasted on the flames.

"Sister Qingyun, come on!" Cher jumped up and waved at her. In the past, Xia Qingyun roasted rabbits for her to eat, but now she has turned into a human form. I also baked a few to thank you.

"It's just the two of you. What about Black Star and Green Bamboo? ”

Qingmei pointed into the distance, "Didn't you buy a lot of seeds, and if you are idle, you will be idle, I will let them all plant." ”

Between words. A few whirlwinds were blowing. Several people who had completed the planting task were gearing up around the grill. Swallowing non-stop.

The wind swept away, and more than a dozen roast rabbits were wiped out by them in the blink of an eye.

Qingmei took Xia Qingyun to the tea room and invited her to taste the newly made jasper fairy rose.

Pour hot water into the teacup. The fresh fragrance of tea slowly stretches, and the tea leaves fly up and down, like pieces of pothos skirts floating in the water, which is particularly eye-catching.

Taste a sip of silver and green tea soup, fragrant and elegant, fresh and fresh.

"Good tea!" Xia Qingyun admired from the bottom of his heart.

She took the tea lotus and poured out some jasper fairy tea leaves, the cords were curled and tight, white and slightly dewed, silver and green, and she dialed it with a tea needle.

"Qingmei, do you know that there is another way to make this tea?"

She didn't make tea for a few days, and she also had some itchy hands, so she asked Qingmei and others to pick some fresh jasper fairy ravel bud leaves, requiring that they must be two leaves and one bud with the tip of the bud and the tip of the leaf. I went to Daqing Mountain to pick a lot of leaves, and I started to do it myself.

The charcoal is lit under the bucket pot, the green buds and leaves are poured into the pot from the bamboo basket, and the bare hands are flying, gently bringing up pieces of tea leaves, shaking them apart and scattering evenly.

The temperature of the four baking cages went from high to low, and Xia Qingyun gently patted the roasting top, so that the buds and leaves were evenly spread on the first cage.

After proper water loss, see the right time, turn the buds and leaves to the second cage, and gently press with your hands to make the leaves hold the buds and the shape is straight.

After the last old fire, Xia Qingyun put the prepared tea leaves into the prepared tea tube while they were hot. The bottom of the cylinder is covered with hoop leaves in advance, and after the tea leaves are completely cooled, they are covered and sealed.

"I'll be able to drink it by this time tomorrow!"

"Huh? Busy for a long time, but can't drink? Xue'er was a little deflated, and Qingmei smiled: "If you want to drink good tea, you can't be in a hurry." Otherwise, drinking tea can cultivate one's self-cultivation. ”

The same kind of leaves picked from the tea tree, the green plum is made of a cord curved like a snail, and the white is faint.

However, what Xia Qingyun made was flat and straight, stretching naturally, with pieces of green tea leaves, and the leaf veins were green and red, just like a strip of green green yarn, which was more suitable for the name of jasper fairy rose.

"It's a pity there are no clear glasses." Xia Qingyun sighed, she had asked Huangfu to go south to look for a glass in Fanbang, and more than half a year had passed, and she didn't know when the Huangfu family's merchant ship would return.

Thinking of this, she went to the study, found a few pieces of drawing paper that had been left for a long time, and spread them on the table.

Qingmei and Xue'er didn't know why, so they also came over to take a look.

"Sister Qingyun, are you drawing a boat?"

Xia Qingyun nodded. In her previous life, she loved to travel and traveled almost half the world. Since the last time she heard Huangfu talk south about all kinds of strange things in Fanguo, she had the idea of going to sea with a merchant ship.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. She didn't want to go with the flow on a wooden sailboat, slow and dangerous.

She saw that the fire oil refined by the Qi people was similar to the crude diesel fuel in her previous life, so she wanted to build a large ship powered by a machine.

With the current level of craftsmanship in the Qi country, it is not easy to build a large sailing ship that can accommodate hundreds of people, let alone a much more advanced sailing ship!

Therefore, her design can only stay on paper, and only when she has saved enough money and manpower, and has enough time, can she consider the matter of shipbuilding.

For two days in a row, Xia Qingyun stayed in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion. After Qingmei tasted the jasper fairy roses she made, she learned how to make tea from her.

In order to commemorate the Taiping Pit where this tea tree was discovered, Xia Qingyun named this tea Taiping Xianluo.

The yield of Taiping Xianluo is extremely low, even in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, each tea tree only produces one or two adult tea in ten days.

However, Taiping Xianluo has an advantage, that is, its tea soup has a sweet aftertaste, and even if the amount of tea is thrown into the tea when brewing, the tea soup will not be bitter.

However, no matter how good the tea is, it is not recognized by the world, and it is also a pearl covered with dust, and the jade is dull. Xia Qingyun looked forward to the news of the emperor's family every day, but he waited left and right, and he didn't see a reply, so he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

After waiting for another two days, someone finally came to the capital. However, it was Sedum who came, and he also brought bad news.

"Brother Xili, Qingyun girl, I'm afraid we won't be able to open the teahouse in Zhili."

"What do you mean by that?" Yao Xili asked puzzled.

"As soon as I received your letter, I went to contact Huang Fuzheng and wanted to come to the river with him. But he told me that half of the business of the Huangfu family is now taken care of by Huangfu's mother Huang, including our tea. ”

"I've heard the emperor talk about it to the east." Xia Qingyun nodded, "Could it be that she doesn't agree?" ”

"It's not that I disagree." Hua Sedum frowned, "Huangfu is asking me to wait for his news, so I delayed coming over until today." ”

"After talking for a long time, I still don't understand! Brother Sedum, what does the Huangfu family mean? (To be continued......)
