Li Yu found tea in the mountains, which is like a treasure, but during this time, he also has to talk about the word "medicine farmer" and even the rise of this industry.

Medicine farmers, not planting medicinal herbs, but the kind of people who go up the mountain to collect medicines for sale, this is a new profession that has emerged in just a few months since the establishment of the Qinhuang Medical College.

In the past, the traveling doctors of the rivers and lakes, or folk doctors, without exception, all went to the mountains to find medicine by themselves.

In today's Qin State, with Li Yu's vigorous support for medical skills, the number of doctors is increasing day by day, and the demand for medicinal materials is naturally increasing.

However, doctors can't always do everything by themselves, and on the one hand, they have to diagnose and treat patients, and they also have to spend their minds on searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, Li Yu asked Hua Tuo to inform the doctors or apprentices of the medical school that if they needed medicinal materials, they would post a notice at the entrance of the medical school, indicating the purchase price and a simplified diagram introducing the medicinal materials.

In this way, over time, after the news spread that digging medicinal materials in the mountains could be sold for money, the profession of medicine farmer was born.

With Li Yu's acquiescence, Zhang Deli gave his uncle an extra twenty coins, and Li Yu wanted to ask about the location of his father-in-law's tea picking.

But then I thought about it, the life of other grandchildren is not easy, so I simply do it to the end, and directly say that the old man will send fresh tea to the Hou Mansion on time every month, and the Hou Mansion will buy it every month.

The old man naturally pulled his grandson for a while, and then was sent out of the door by Zhang Deli.

Li Yu looked at a basket of fresh tea leaves, regardless of the old leaves and young leaves, it was estimated that it would be a little more than a catty, and as soon as he was dehydrated after frying, he was afraid that it would be good to have one or two fried teas.

"Master Hou, the little one knows that you have a good heart, but why don't you get the address of this leaf, wouldn't it be better for the little one to arrange it for you in the future."

Listening to the confusion in Sun Deli's words, Li Yu looked at the tea leaves and said with a smile: "Why cut off the wealth of the old grandfather and grandson." ”

Although he said so, Li Yu had already begun to think about how to use the appearance of this tea to squeeze a wave of imperial nobles.

Today, although the land reform is led by Wang Jian and his son, it is only starting from wasteland.

A large amount of land in the hands of the nobles has not yet been collected into the hands of Yingzheng, and there is naturally a lot of private wealth in the pockets.

And if you want to make money with tea, you can only grasp the comparison psychology of the aristocracy and try to be fresh.

Keeping the production process of tea, as well as the origin of raw materials for tea, is the key to making tea worthwhile.

But now there is too little tea in my hand, and this pound of raw tea is estimated to be less than one or two after frying.

Such a quantity can also make Li Yu drink lonely by himself, and as for making money by time, he still needs to plan carefully.

Just when Li Yu sighed that there was too little tea in his hand, Hua Tuo and the others hurriedly rested.

Seeing the tea leaves in the basket in Li Yu's hand, Sun Simiao said with some surprise: "Master Hou is holding a basket of leaves, what is this for?" ”

Sun Simiao and several people knew Tu, and Li Yu was not surprised at all.

After all, these people in front of them are all masters in the medical field, and this kind of herbal plant that can refresh the mind naturally can't hide from the eyes and nose of a few people.

Li Shizhen also smiled when he heard this, and said: "Tu Ye can refresh the mind, but the taste is bitter and astringent, and it is not suitable to eat more......"

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled and said: "This leaf, Benhou is not for eating, but for drinking." ”

"Drink?"

As soon as Li Yu's words came out, several people were stunned, and then they asked.

"Junhou Mo doesn't want to use this to cook a dose of medicinal soup?"

"But Master Hou is too hard and needs to calm his nerves and replenish his brain?"

"If that's the case, there's no need to bother, just open a prescription."

……

Listening to the gossip of several old doctors, Li Yu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and said with a grin: "The medicinal soup that Hua Lao said is similar in steps, but in the meantime, this leaf still needs to be fried in an iron pot." ”

……

As soon as Li Yu's words came out, Hua Tuo and the four became more and more curious.

This is this ordinary leaf, why does the prince have to bother for this?

Moreover, it is necessary to fry in an iron pot......

Looking at the curiosity and confusion on the faces of the four old men, Li Yu shook his head helplessly.

The history before the Tang Dynasty really didn't pay attention to the quality of life, and before Li Yu appeared, he couldn't even make a small fried meat.

Otherwise, it would not make Li Yu make up his mind to open a food restaurant to satisfy his appetite.

As the old saying goes, practice makes sense.

Li Yu simply didn't explain, and rushed directly into the back kitchen with the basket.

At this time, the cook was busy preparing food for the Hou Mansion, and a person came in coldly, which startled the cook.

For the cook, the back kitchen is equivalent to her sacrosanct territory, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter.

The cook was about to open her mouth to drive away, but she found that the person who came was actually her own prince, and a group of old people came in one after another.

Frightened, the cook suddenly panicked, isn't the food she cooked unappetizing?

Li Yu smiled politely: "Aunt Liu, is there an iron pot in this kitchen that has not been cooked yet?" ”

The cook was stunned when she heard this, then thought about it and said, "Back to the Hou Ye, Steward Zhang just added two new pots not long ago, but they haven't been replaced yet. ”

Zhang Deli stood at the back, suddenly heard the words of the cook, and suddenly became a little complacent, and boasted: Why is my special mother so witty!

Seeing Li Yu's gaze, Zhang Deli hurriedly showed his figure and said with a smile: "Master Hou, the little one is that I heard that Aunt Liu said that the previous iron pot was too small to use, so I added two new mouthfuls, but I didn't expect to meet it today." ”

Since this Zhang Deli became the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he has become more and more handy, and he has become much more alert and sleek.

Li Yu immediately boasted: "Yes, Steward Zhang can rest assured." ”

got Li Yu's praise, and the facial features of Zhang Deli's face were all screwed together with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Deli's expression, I can't help but ask Aunt Liu to get some wine and snacks tonight and have a drink.

Li Yu shook his head, as long as the subordinates are willing to do things and do good things, they are happy to say praise more.

After all, people do a good job, and they are the masters, and the words that should be praised don't cost money, so why don't you be reluctant.

Aunt Liu neatly replaced the pot that was used for stir-frying with a new one, and washed it three times with clean water.

Seeing that Aunt Liu has to wash it for the fourth time......

Li Yu hurriedly said, "Okay, Aunt Liu, I want you to help control the heat." ”

Aunt Liu wiped her hand on her clothes a few times, and hurriedly smiled: "Master Hou just orders." ”

"It just so happens that there are three pots here, all of them are set on the fire for me, and then they all use a slight heat to burn the pot, just one is cooler than the other pot."

Li Yu said that he was particular about this, and it was called fried green, which required the three pots to be connected and step by step.

And these are also Li Yu who went to the southwest border at the beginning, and by the way, he learned some roasted tea and made tea, and now he has learned and used it.

After Aunt Liu lit the fire and found a bamboo broom, Li Yu carefully took out some fresh tea leaves and scattered them into the first pot.

And as time passed, Hua Tuo and a few people watched with relish on the sidelines, and there was no boredom at all.

Li Yu felt that the heat was unstoppable, and when the tea leaves entered the third pot, looking at the tea leaves that had been rolled into strips, Li Yu's face showed a little flush.

"It's done!"
