Jingyang County has a major specialty - Jingyang Fu brick tea.

"Since ancient times, Lingbei has not planted tea, only Jingyang brick tea." Jingyang Fu brick tea, because it is processed and made in the summer Futian, its aroma and function are similar to Poria cocos, and the outside of autoclaving forms a brick, so it is called "Fu brick tea". Jingyang Fu brick tea, also known as "Fengzi tea" and "Jingyang brick", is a kind of black tea pressed tea in the reprocessed tea.

Li You decided to produce this tea, and seeing that summer was approaching, he just started preparing now.

Early the next morning, he had no intention of hunting anymore and returned to Chang'an with everyone.

Soon after, notices were posted everywhere in Jingyang County, saying that the Magpie Trading Company in Chang'an City was recruiting agricultural workers in the county, and the monthly wage was 600 yuan, and the tax was paid by the trading company. You can bring your family, provide homesteads, and build a house subsidy of 5 yuan. There are also dividends at the end of the year.

For a time, the temporary registration point of the Magpie Trading Company, which was set up near the prefectural office, was overcrowded.

The address of the trading company's tea-making workshop was chosen from the farm where the Shogou Remnant family was located. Soon, large dwellings and large workshops began to be built here.

According to the production process of Fu brick tea, Li You and others quickly produced some Fu brick tea, although it was not made in midsummer, but the taste was almost the same.

Next, it's how to promote Fu brick tea.

Guangcui Hall.

On this day, Yin Hongzhi entered the palace to see Concubine Yin. He said with an unhappy face: "Sister, you shouldn't let me go to that old stubborn house, I just opened my mouth, and I was rejected." ”

It turned out that Concubine Yin saw that her son had grown up and began to care about his marriage, and she fell in love with Xiao Wanyu, the granddaughter of Xiao Qian's family, so she asked Yin Hongzhi to go to propose.

Xiao Qian was a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, he was once the prime minister of the Li Yuan era, and continued to be the prime minister in the Zhenguan period. This old guy's temper, when it comes to stubbornness, Wei Zheng can only rank second. He has always been unreasonable, and he has made Li Shimin unable to step down many times, and has been demoted 5 times. However, he was very talented and loyal to the imperial court, and recently, Li Shimin was ready to continue to use him as a right servant.

On the second day of the Qingming Festival, Yin Hongzhi came to Xiao Qian's mansion. Xiao Qian listened to Yin Hongzhi's explanation of his intentions, and said directly: "My granddaughter has already been married to others, and the kindness of the mother has been appreciated." ”

Yin Hongzhi had asked someone to inquire before he came, and that Xiao Wanyu had not yet been married. However, since people say so, it is clear that they are unwilling. He didn't know what to do, so he had to leave in a huff.

After Yin Hongzhi left, Xiao Qian sneered: "Is your Li family's unstingy son worthy of my family's Wan'er?" ”

In the garden of the Xiao Mansion, there are many flowers. Xiao Qian's wife Cui is good at planting flowers, tulips, peach blossoms, begonias, cherry blossoms and so on compete in the garden. Especially begonias, the flower colors are crimson, vermilion, pink, light red, orange red, white and compound colors, etc., a few are green, one step at a time, all kinds of flowers form a flowing sea of flowers.

In the garden stood two young girls, one of whom was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender figure, wearing a lilac dress, which made her already fair skin even whiter. At this time, the sun was shining on her face, and her beautiful face was radiant and dazzling. One word: beauty!

Her hair was braided in small braids and curled at the back of her head, revealing a delicate goose-egg-shaped face, her skin white and delicate, as if it was shining at any moment. Her forehead is very smooth and full, delicate eyebrows, almond eyes, under the bridge of her pretty nose, a small mouth with clear lines, and a slight fortitude in softness. It gives people the feeling of being cold and arrogant.

She is Xiao Qian's granddaughter Xiao Wanyu. She shows off her wisdom, is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a famous talented woman. Not only that, but also made a good swordsmanship, and the polo was also very good. Two words: perfect.

Xiao Wanyu has followed her grandmother to play with flowers since she was a child, and her taste is very high, and all kinds of flowers are pruned by her in different postures, but they are just right. At this moment, she is holding a small watering can in her hand and is spraying water on the flower branches.

Another girl is named Du Mei, the daughter of Du Xinyuan, the head of the household, and Xiao Wanyu's best friend. The height and age are about the same as her, the appearance is good, the round face is slightly fat, the personality is lively, and the person is quick to talk. She said: "That nasty guy, notorious, is a scoundrel, where is he worthy of our sister Wanyu?" His uncle was embarrassed to come and propose. Really. ”

Xiao Wanyu smiled and did not speak.

Du Mei put Lin Wanyu's pruned flower branches in her hands, tied them into a bouquet, and said disdainfully while picking off the dead leaves on them: "That wicked man relied on himself to be a prince, bullying men and women, and doing evil, don't say that you are such an outstanding woman, even I don't look down on him." ”

Xiao Wanyu said with a smile: "Of course, how could an excellent beauty like Miss Du fall in love with a wicked person like him." Hey, your mother said she was proposing to you that day, how did things go? ”

Du Mei took Xiao Wanyu's hand, came to the stone table under the grape trellis and sat down, and said a little worriedly: "You help me as a staff officer, my father wants to promise me to Qin Huaidao, the second son of Hu Guogong (Qin Qiong)'s family, I haven't seen him, and I can't make up my mind." ”

Xiao Wanyu said: "It's the second son of Qin, I heard that although he was born in a general's family, his literary talent is also very outstanding." Isn't it easy to meet him? Let your father take you to visit Hu Guogong soon. ”

Du Mei said: "That's not good, in case I don't look down on others or people don't look down on me, how embarrassing it is!" ”

"Hey, don't forget, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, the Literature Museum of His Royal Highness King Wei is going to hold a Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Meeting, and the second son of Qin will definitely go, won't you see it when the time comes?" Xiao Wanyu said.

"Then you can come with me." Du Mei said yearningly.

"Definitely." Xiao Wanyu said affirmatively.

Guangcui Hall.

Yin Hongzhi said unconvinced: "What's so great about him Xiao Lao'er." His Royal Highness is a dignified prince, another talent, and outstanding talent, why should his Xiao family look down on His Royal Highness. ”

He didn't want to think about what kind of Li You was before.

Concubine Yin sighed and didn't squeak. After a while, she said, "That's it, don't let You'er know." ”

Looking at the orange-red and translucent brick tea in front of him, Li You was very excited, Yin Hongzhi and Zhang Guigui were also very excited, the color they saw was not orange-red, but the golden light of copper coins.

Zhang Guigui said: "Brother You, I found that I fell in love with you a little. Why did your head suddenly open up? As he spoke, he reached out and touched Li You's head.

Many people in the Tang Dynasty had the good of Longyang. Li You couldn't help but feel a chill, he reached out and knocked off Zhang's precious hand, and said, "Get farther away!"

Yin Guanghao was happy, and he also reached out to touch Li You's head.

Li You said while hiding: "What's wrong with you? Disgusting to death. ”

Zhou Qian waited until the little brother had enough laughter, and said, "Lord Wang, those Hu people you asked me to find have made an appointment to come to our palace tomorrow afternoon." ”

Li You nodded and said, "Okay, prepare well today, I'll go to court tomorrow morning, and sell our brick tea well." ”
