"He went with the Chinese people to see Zhuangzi early this morning, and he didn't know that Qingyun was coming." The eldest aunt picked up the teapot and helped Xia Qingyun add some hot tea.

Xia Qingyun's fingers tapped a few times on the tabletop to express his gratitude, and then asked with a smile: "Uncle doesn't have a house, why do you want to buy Zhuangzi, is he planning to live in the river for a long time?" ”

"Hey, it's not because the trade route to the northwest this year is not good, and the medicinal materials can't be transported in, but in the past six months, the price of wolfberry has skyrocketed, and there is just a piece of sandy land in the east of the river, so he is thinking about buying it and planting some wolfberry seedlings next year. By the way, I touched a farm next to it, planted some vegetables and grains, raised some chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, and it was good to use it in our teahouse. ”

The eldest aunt said, took a small cloth bag with her, and came out with a few red and bright wolfberries, and said with a smile: "I also always have some with me, and I will eat two when I think of it, and I heard his eldest uncle say that he often eats wolfberries and is not old at the age of 100!" ”

Hua Ling's eldest uncle, Zhang Pengze, is a physician, and naturally he also passed on the way of health preservation to his family.

Goji berry is a common health herb for the nobles in the capital, all of them are treasures, spring leaves, and the name of Tianjing grass; Summer flowers, known as long-lived grass; Autumn picking, named wolfberry; Winter picking roots, famous bone skin.

The northwest of Qi is rich in wolfberry, the interior is still rarely planted, every year the medicine store of the flower family has to purchase a large number from there, this year the situation in the northwest is tight, many growers have sold the garden, moved to the inner map of Ansheng, so the price of wolfberry has risen very much.

Moreover, wolfberry has not strict requirements for soil, which is both drought and cold-resistant, so Hua Sedum moved his own planting thoughts. He also specially invited a wolfberry from the northwest.

Although the climate here is rainy, the quality of the wolfberries grown is not as good as that of the northwest. But it's always better than nothing, and if the trial is successful, Huajia Pharmacy will have another stable income.

Seeing the wolfberries on the table, Xia Qingyun had an idea, and there were always some dried fruits in the teahouse, so she instructed the men to take some red dates, dried longan, walnut kernels, raisins, apple slices and rock sugar.

Everyone also said that she was tired of eating refreshments, and she would drink tea if she wanted dried fruits, but who knew that Xia Qingyun put a bowl in front of everyone, threw some dried fruits and rock sugar, and stretched out her hand to smile at her aunt: "Borrow your wolfberry for use." ”

Add eight or nine goji berries to each bowl. Pinch a pinch of white silver needle. Rush into the boiling water, close the lid and smother.

"This is called Babao tea, it tastes sweet and delicious, and it also has a clear fire to remove dryness. The effect of nourishing qi and nourishing beauty. It can be drunk all year round. If there are small dried chrysanthemums. Brew together for a better effect of nourishing yin and brightening the purpose. Do you taste it good? ”

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl. Skim off the foam with a lid and take a small sip.

The sweetness of the first eight treasure tea is not prominent, and there is a faint fragrance in the mouth when you drink it. With each sip, the taste changes subtly, as each dried fruit releases a different flavor at different times.

When tasting the second course, the rock sugar has melted in the tea soup, and the tea aroma and fruit aroma are fully blended, and the drink is sweet and refreshing, and the fragrance is overflowing.

"Delicious!" Yao Xili drank two bowls in a row and couldn't stop praising him, "Qingyun, if this eight-treasure tea is launched, it will definitely be comparable to jasmine tea, and I will add it to the tea brand tomorrow!" ”

Jasmine tea is cheap and delicious, and it is the best one sold in the downstairs shop. But after a long time, I always feel monotonous when I drink one, and the price of other teas is high, and most of the guests in the private room will order it.

In addition to wolfberry and longan, which are slightly more expensive in Babao tea, other dried fruits are common, and the cost is not high. Moreover, the autumn and winter in the north are dry and cold, and drinking a cup of hot, sweet and pleasant Babao tea is definitely the best choice.

"There are dried chrysanthemums in our pharmacy, so I'll send someone to get them." The eldest aunt was an anxious son, so she immediately called a man and told him to run to the pharmacy with his waist card, and the wolfberry and dried chrysanthemum were each ten catties.

"What do you want so many wolfberries and chrysanthemums for?" Before the sedum people arrived, the voice came in from outside the door first.

He met the guy at the door, and when he saw that the guy was holding the waist card of the pharmacy in his hand, he was afraid that someone was sick, so he stopped and asked.

"Tired guy!" When the eldest aunt heard it in the house, she scolded with a smile, got up and walked to the door and beckoned, "I let you go." Miss Xia is here, come in quickly. ”

"Oops! You're all here, no one told me when Qingyun came! Hua Jingtian looked at a room of people, smiled and complained, and greeted Xia Qingyun's father and sat down next to Yao Xili.

The eldest aunt brought him the eight treasure tea in front of her, Hua Sedum took a few sips, and said with a smile: "When I was in the northwest, I also drank the water soaked by the locals with wolfberries and red dates and raisins. ”

In the Ganning area, Babao tea is also called the Three Forts, a bowl of "Three Forts" can often be drunk for two or three hours or a noon, which is a must-have for local hospitality.

Xia Qingyun pursed his lips, "Uncle is really well-informed, I heard my aunt say, you want to buy Zhuangzi to grow wolfberries, do you want to open up your wealth and earn all the money in the world into your own pocket?" ”

Hua Jingtian was full of interest, put down the bowl, and said: "Hey, don't say it, if this wolfberry is successfully planted, it will be a good deal!" All the big families in the capital, which are not allowed to buy hundreds of catties every year. If it weren't for the reduction in wolfberry production in the northwest and the difficult trade routes, I wouldn't have worked for this god. ”

In the previous life, the wolfberry produced in Ningxia, Gansu Province was called Gan Berry and West Goji Berry, and the one introduced and planted in Tianjin was called Tianjin wolfberry, which was slightly worse in quality than that of Ganning, but the medicinal function was the same as that produced by Ganning.

Xia Qingyun encouraged: "The tea trees in Qingyun Tea Garden are also cut from the ancient tea trees in the deep mountains, and the uncle's method may work!" When the seedlings were raised, they also gave me two and raised them in the garden, and the red fruits hung were very festive. ”

She actually wanted to plant the wolfberry seedlings in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, but it was inconvenient to explain it in front of everyone.

Hua Jingtian was busy all morning and didn't eat, took a few sips of refreshments, and said while eating: "I just went to see two Zhuangzi, both are good land, and the houses are neat. Qingyun girl, do you want to buy one too, let's be neighbors next to each other? ”

"I'll have to ask my dad if he agrees." Xia Qingyun replied with a smile.

All of you here are acquaintances and old friends, and my father's temperament is also lively, patted Yao Xili's shoulder, and spread his hands like him.

"You see, Qingyun is in charge of my family's affairs, and she came to ask me."

Everyone laughed, Xia Qingyun and the third aunt squeezed their eyes, and replied happily: "Doesn't this show that your old man is mighty!" Since I am in charge, then listen to the uncle and buy it together! ”

"Done! The Chinese man was still drinking tea, so I told him. ”

Hua Sedum got up and was about to go downstairs, Yao Xili smiled: "Hurry up, there are good things to tell you when you come back!" (To be continued......)
