Chapter 171: Roasted Tea

"Hiss~" Yi Niang suddenly gasped, and her fingers were withdrawn like an electric shock, only to see that the tips of her fingers had been pierced with a small eye by a needle, and a drop of crystal blood appeared, she was accustomed to this situation, and then put her fingers in her mouth and sucked for a while, and then continued to embroider the unfinished embroidery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's late at night, and the lady also feels tired and sleepy, but this embroidery has also reached the finishing stage, if it can be done today, then tomorrow you can let the powder take it and sell it, so that the family has income, and can also improve the current life, at least buy some meat and the like to improve the food, the powder has lost a lot of weight during this time.

Thinking of the situation at home, Yi Niang couldn't help but cheer up, speed up the embroidery in her hands, and wait until nearly three watches, a peony picture was finally completed by her, she actually doesn't like peony very much, always feel that the peony is too gorgeous, but this colorful embroidery is very popular with the public, so Yi Niang embroidered this peony picture, hoping to sell it at a good price.

After completing this embroidery, the lady finally felt sleepy like a tide, so she didn't care about packing up her things, and came to the bed to lie down to rest, as for the powder on the other bed, she slept fragrantly, and even made a slight snoring sound.

Yi Niang was so tired, just lay down and fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the sun, and the table in the outer hall was placed on the table prepared by Fan'er, because the weather was too hot, it didn't matter whether it was hot or cold, Yi Niang hastily ate some, and then checked yesterday's embroidery, and then shouted: "Fan'er!" ”

Yesterday, Yi Niang told Fan Er not to go out today, because she was going to go into the city to sell the embroidery, but what made Yi Niang feel strange was that she shouted a few times and did not hear Fan Er's response, which made Yi Niang very strange, when she went out of the living room to the yard, she heard that there seemed to be movement in the kitchen, so she walked over, but before she entered the kitchen, she was smoked out by a burnt smell inside.

"Fan'er, what are you doing in there?" Yi Niang smelled the burnt smell in the kitchen and said a little anxiously, she wondered if there was a fire inside?

"Ahh Wait a minute! As soon as Yi Niang's words fell, the sound of fans immediately came from the kitchen, and then there was a sound of pots and pans colliding, it seemed that fans were very flustered, and then they saw fans running out with a black and gray face, which seemed to be very embarrassed.

"What are you doing in it, why is it so mushy?" Yi Niang asked again with some concern, in fact, since a few days ago, she found that Fan Er has become a little mysterious, and she does not stay in the living room to enjoy the cool on a hot day, but goes into the stuffy kitchen to tinker with something, and she doesn't say anything when she asks her, she wants to go in to see but is always stopped, this is the first time Fan Er has something to hide from her.

"Hehe, don't ask, Sister Yiniang, I will definitely surprise you in the future!" Fan Er still didn't answer positively, but said with a hippie smile, she has been answering Yi Niang like this for the past few days.

"As long as you don't set the kitchen on fire, I'll be thankful!" Yi Niang has asked fans more than once, but she just doesn't say it, and she doesn't bother to ask anymore now, and she still has something for fans to do, so she took out the embroidery she just embroidered last night and said, "Fan'er, I have done this embroidery, you can take the time to go to Chang'an to sell it!" ”

"Okay, Sister Yuechan is also going to the city to buy things in the afternoon, and I can take their carriage into the city together." Fan Er nodded immediately, and said that she reached out to take the embroidery, but found that her hands were all black and gray, which made her smile and hurriedly pulled her hand without receiving the embroidery, so as not to make it dirty and worthless.

Seeing that Fan'er's face and hands were all black and gray, Yi Niang also wanted to rush into the kitchen to see what she was doing, but she finally chose to respect Fan'er's privacy, after all, she didn't tell herself, she must have her own reasons, and she also believed that Fan'er would definitely not harm herself, so she didn't say anything in the end, went back and took a bag to wrap the embroidery, and handed it to Fan'er to let her go to the city in the afternoon to sell it.

After seeing the Yi Niang leave, the fan breathed a sigh of relief, and then rushed into the kitchen with great interest, and after a while, there was a burst of burnt smell again, but if you distinguish carefully, you will find that in this burnt smell, there is still a faint smell of tea.

Li Shimin left Chang'an again. This is also the news that Li Xiu just received, it is said that there has been a change on the Turkic side, it seems to be related to Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo is an important chess piece of the Tang Dynasty to contain the Turks, although this strategy was first proposed by Li Xiu, but it was perfected in the hands of Li Shimin, and he played it to Li Yuan, so this matter has always been in charge of him, and now there is a problem on Xue Yantuo's side, Li Shimin naturally has to deal with it personally.

In addition, Li Xiu also knew some things in the court through Ma Ye, such as the power of the crown prince Li Jiancheng in the court is becoming stronger and stronger, almost half of the courtiers are inclined to him, and even Pei Lian, who Li Yuan trusts the most, has also had contacts with Li Jiancheng during this time, plus now that Li Shimin has left Beijing, most people are more optimistic about Li Jiancheng, and even the concubines who have children in Li Yuan's palace are also vying to tie up with Li Jiancheng, hoping that he can arrange a good place for his children after he ascends the throne.

However, no matter how turbulent the outside world is, all this has nothing to do with Li Xiu, he still sits firmly on his Diaoyu Tai, although it is gratifying that the fish is hooked, he will not be discouraged if he finds nothing. The apricot that the fan often picks behind him is finally ripe, pick one and wash it in the clear river water, stuff it into the mouth and take a bite, it is sweet and doughy and makes people appetite, this feeling is probably something that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will never be able to experience.

Lunch was brought to him by Yuechan, Li Xiu found that eating in the wild would feel very fragrant, two dishes and one soup plus two steamed buns, which were eaten by him cleanly, which made Li Xiu a little wary of whether his figure was starting to get fat?

Just after Li Xiu had lunch, he saw another fish on the hook, but Li Xiu suddenly lifted the rod, and the fish under the water was very cunning, and it actually ran away, which made Li Xiu smile helplessly, it seems that this fish is lucky, I hope it can remember this lesson, and will not be caught by itself again in the future.

"Childe ~ Childe ~ , I ...... I did it! At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind, and when Li Xiu turned his head, he happened to see Fan Er running from the river panting, waving a bamboo tube in his hand, and screaming at him with an excited face.

"Run slower, don't fall into the river, my swimming skills are not very good!" Li Xiu looked at the reckless fans, and immediately said loudly, this little girl is hairy, and it is not once or twice that she has fallen from the tree, and it is not impossible to fall into the river.

Fortunately, although the fan was excited, she was not to the point of getting carried away, I saw her quickly run to Li Xiu, and then held the bamboo tube high and said: "Son, look, this is the tea I roasted!" ”

Looking at the happy appearance of the fans, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, and immediately took the bamboo tube and opened it to take a look, it was really a green tea leaf, and it also exuded an attractive tea fragrance when it smelled, just from the appearance and aroma, it was similar to the tea leaves of later generations, but I don't know how it tastes after brewing?

"Yes, yes, tea should be like this, you have worked hard!" Li Xiu also praised at the moment, that day he told the fan about the fried tea, and promised her that if she could make the fried tea, he would buy it with a lot of money, but although he drank a lot of tea in later generations, he didn't know much about the fried tea, only knew that it was made by putting the tea leaves in an iron pot, as for how to fry and fry a few times, what other processes were there, etc., he didn't know anything, everything needed to be explored by the fans themselves, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, she made the fried tea.

Got Li Xiu's affirmative reply, the fan also jumped up excitedly, during this time she in order to make fried tea, day and night thinking, at the beginning she wanted to fry the tea directly dry, but every time it was fried paste, until today she suddenly had an idea, first fried the tea hot and soft, and then took it to the sun for a while and then fried it dry over low heat, so that the tea was finally fried.

After the fans were excited, they immediately looked at Li Xiu with an embarrassed gaze, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end they didn't make a sound, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and looked at the tea leaves in the bamboo tube at the moment, and then said very boldly: "These teas are no more and no less, count you a hundred Wen, but I don't bring any money now, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!" ”

The tea made by Fan Er is less than a dollar, and the color is also very average, which is not worth so much money, but Li Xiu saw that Fan Er had a few blisters on her hands because of the fried tea, and there was still black ash on her face that had not been washed, and in such a hot weather, she had to stay by the fire all the time to fry the tea, which was extremely hard, so she came up with a rare high price.

"One...... One hundred texts! Fan Er was about to faint with happiness when she heard this price, she thought that such a little tea would only sell for ten wen at most, but she didn't expect Li Xiu to pay ten times the price, if she added tricks to fry more tea tomorrow, wouldn't she be able to exchange for more money, and even didn't need to embroider at all, she would be able to feed the two of them herself.

"Great! Thank you...... Thank you, Childe! Fan Er was a little incoherent with excitement, in fact, she didn't know Li Xiu's name until now, and she usually only called her "son", and she didn't know that Li Xiu was actually the person Yi Niang was going to marry.

Seeing Fan'er's excited appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little funny, and comforted her a few words at the moment, and then Fan'er remembered that she was going to take advantage of Yuechan's car to enter Chang'an in the afternoon, so she thanked Li Xiu again and left in a hurry.

When the fan left, Li Xiu couldn't sit still, he wanted to taste the taste of this tea fried by the powder? And good things are meant to be shared with others, so Li Xiu immediately came to Princess Pingyang's house, and after asking where she was, he didn't need to be led by anyone, and went straight to the back garden, but what Li Xiu never expected was that Princess Pingyang had a guest today, and it was a female guest.
