Liang Sanping didn't know his report now, which made Ye Jianwen and Liao Bin fall into a dull state. He was now smiling and drinking tea at his mother-in-law's house, watching his mother-in-law look at him with admiration.

Liang Sanping sighed. Mother-in-law Yang Yun is not as gray-haired as in later generations, but she is only nearly fifty years old at this time, and she still has green hair. But his face is gradually wrinkled because of the hard work of the family.

"Xiaoliang, come on...... Sit down! When you get here, it's like you're at home. You're welcome! "The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. This is really true, Yang Yun is looking at Liang Sanping now.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become, this young man laughs very warmly, where is there such a fierce and vicious thing that those people outside say?! And people are also polite, and when you enter the door, you know to greet yourself first.

There are not many such young people now, and they sit down honestly. Just a warm smile, nothing else superfluous. Steady! This is Yang Yun's first impression of Liang Sanping.

"Auntie, I'm sorry for you. Is there anything I can do to help?! Liang Sanping stood up and asked Yang Yun with a bow. Yang Yun smiled and waved his hand when he heard this.

"Where do you work?! You big man, just drink tea here. Talk to Xiaofeng more, I can cook those meals alone. But he saw Yang Yun smiling and going to work, while Li Feng, who was sitting on the side, looked at him with a flushed face.

There was a sound of chattering outside the door, but Liang Sanping smiled slightly but didn't look over. He knew that these were Li Feng's three younger sisters and one younger brother.

Li Feng's family background is not very good, although it is a dual-income family. But to afford to eat and drink and go to school for five children, this is a lot of expenses! But Li Feng and the others never wore patched clothes. There is never a shortage of food and no tuition arrears.

This was all punched and kicked by Yang Yun and her husband. They gritted their teeth. Never borrowed a penny from anyone. relied on himself and these sensible children to support this family.

"Third sister. Is that brother-in-law?! The little sister Li Zhen looked at Liang Sanping in the living room curiously and asked her third sister. The second sister Li Qing pursed her lips and said, "It must be!" Otherwise, how could the eldest sister sit there with him?! ”

Liang Sanping just smiled when he heard these words. These are still children, even their eldest sister is only a child who has not yet reached the age of eighteen. It is true that Liang Sanping himself is not very old now.

But his mental age is older than these children combined. And Li Feng couldn't help but turn even more crimson after hearing the discussion of his younger brothers and sisters. glared fiercely at the door, and suddenly the younger brothers and sisters scattered as birds and beasts.

The majesty of her eldest sister is still there, and the children in the family respect her. offended the eldest sister's head. That's to be cleaned up. That's fine. Now that the eldest sister is a little angry, they naturally have to quickly dodge.

"Sanping, don't be angry. They are all still children, and they are not very sensible......" Li Feng saw Liang Sanping looking at him, and couldn't help lowering his head and said to Liang Sanping: "You take care of it a little more, they have no malicious ......"

"What am I going to do?! It's all children, so it's normal to talk casually! Liang Sanping smiled and said to Li Feng: "Besides, they didn't say anything excessive!" Isn't it normal to be curious about what your brother-in-law looks like?! ”

Li Feng blushed and did not speak. At this time, Li Tingbang, who was working outside, came back. Liang Sanping hurriedly stood up and said hello, while Li Tingbang nodded and said with a smile. Then he sat down.

Li Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw his father coming back. At least my father won't seem so embarrassed here, although he usually has a time when he is alone with Liang Sanping.

But that's all a walk outside. There aren't many opportunities for two people to be alone at home like this. Not to mention that there was a group of younger brothers and sisters watching outside the door, which made Li Feng feel very unnatural.

"Dad, I'm going to help mom cook. You and ...... Sit first. Li Tingbang smiled and looked at his daughter in front of him. I couldn't even shout Liang Sanping's name. With a smile, he said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! Cook a few more dishes and scramble all the eggs. Today I had a good drink with Sanpei. I've never been to the imperial capital! When the time comes, listen to Sanping talk about what the emperor is like. ”

Li Feng nodded, turned around and ran down. And the younger brothers and sisters who were hiding outside the door saw that the elder sister came out through gritted teeth. Hula and all ran away. Li Feng stared at the backs of these younger brothers and sisters, and reluctantly went to the kitchen to help his mother Yang Yun.

Li Feng's family is not wealthy, so the furnishings are also very simple. In the small triangular tile room, there is a set of beds that Li Tingbang and Yang Yun asked their comrades-in-arms to help when they got married. A set of combination cabinets.

Behind the cabinet, there is a couch. This Changsha is a sofa bed. Guests come and can rest here. And usually, when put away, it's a sofa.

In front of the sofa is a large wooden table with four legs underneath. This is not only a coffee table when guests come, but also a dinner table when they eat.

Walking out of this is a living room, a room, and a bedroom, and the front hall is a patio shared by everyone. You can see each other next door. Behind the patio is the kitchen.

A wood-burning stove with a cauldron on it. This is the triple stove that can often be seen by farmers at this time, one is used for cooking and the other is used for stir-frying. One of the largest is used to boil water for bathing.

Of course, also boil water in a kettle. I usually drink it myself, and I also make tea when guests come. At this time, tea is also a luxury, and everyone has some at home, but they are reluctant to drink it on weekdays.

Even if Li Tingbang and others go out to work, they often carry white water. Occasionally, in order to reward himself, Dingtian also grabbed a little bit and threw it into the iron kettle to drink.

Only when the guests come, they will take it out and soak it for the guests to drink. Tasting the tea carefully, Liang Sanping had to sigh at the mellow nature of the tea at this time. It is much stronger than the tea irrigated with pesticides and fertilizers later.

Drinking tea, Liang Sanping's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration! I always think about vegetables, but I forget about tea, a huge consumer product in Asia, especially in Japan, South Korea and other countries that have been greatly influenced by China!

According to statistics, in 2006, Japan's national tea consumption was more than 130,000 tons. The per capita consumption of tea is more than 1,100 grams. However, due to the limited arable land in Japan, the production of tea is not very high.

In Japan, the production of tea is only 91,800 tons. The remaining tens of thousands of tons all need to be imported to meet them.

What is less well known is that the United States, in addition to Japan, was once one of the largest importers of Chinese tea.

In 1777, when the United States was at war with Great Britain, someone found some hidden tea in a cellar in the woods and immediately wrote to Washington what to do with it.

As it happens, Washington himself was a tea lover, and he wrote back that "it will be transported to the headquarters for the use of the army," and that the precious tea will be distributed according to the rank of the military personnel.

At the age of 29, he was appointed consul of the United States in Canton in 1786. After the maiden voyage of the Queen, he came to China three times.

According to his observations, he built that Americans were mainly engaged in the tea trade, and that "Americans could not live without tea, and the consumption of tea was bound to grow with the growth of the domestic population".

From 1785 to 1895, tea was the largest trade in the Sino-American trade. In 1784, the Empress carried more than 3,000 quintals of tea, and by 1799 the number had increased tenfold to 33,769 quintals.

In 1833, the tea trade between the two sides reached 100,000 quintals, and in 1836 it doubled to 200,000 quintals. In the decades that followed, the United States exported more than 60% of its tea from China, sometimes reaching 90%!

But after 1904, after the Americans invented the tea bag, Chinese tea became an old antique in the American population, and "the three characters of Chinese tea have become the words of ancient times".

And with the passage of time, although the United States is still the second largest exporter of tea in China, the proportion of its tea consumers is much lower than before. Americans no longer like to make tea and pour tea leaves. They prefer tea bags, coffee or cola.

Even some tea drinkers have been influenced by British tea drinking habits. It is customary to add ice, milk and sugar to the tea. Reluctance to brew tea leaves and pour tea residues.

"Sanping, what are you thinking?!" Li Tingbang saw that he was chatting well, and Liang Sanping couldn't help but ask. And Liang Sanping came back to his senses at this time, but saw him smiling and saying to Li Tingbang.

"Nothing, I just want this tea." Liang Sanping was drinking tea, but his brain was spinning rapidly. He didn't forget jì, in 2004, Yangcheng tasted "Guanyin King".

Among them, the third lot of the three Guanyin kings, which was recognized as the best quality at that time, was auctioned off by the Japanese rice warehouse present at the time at a sky-high price of 500g/3,000 yuan per yuan! The incident caused a huge stir at the time.

This year, the minimum wage in China's most developed magic capital was set at 690 yuan. In other words, for people with minimum wages, these 500 grams of tea are equivalent to more than four months of work!

"What's there to think about this tea?!" But Li Tingbang smiled and said to Liang Sanping: "This is the tea garden produced by Nongken in the capital of the autonomous prefecture!" ”

"We've won a lot of awards for this tea, so it must be good to drink." Li Tingbang smiled and said to Liang Sanping: "When I go back to my hometown, I bring some to give away." There is also a special telegram from my hometown asking me to send some back to them! (To be continued......)
