Chapter 23 Tea

"Gongzi Qin is back."

"Welcome sir back to the village."

"Meet the Teacher."

As soon as Qin Yu's carriage arrived in Zhangjia Village, the villagers who had received the news rushed to stop what they were doing and ran to meet Qin Yu.

Greetings are varied, Qin Yu's stay in Zhangjia Village is quite short, and the degree of popularity he can receive is really enviable.

Qin Yu responded with a smile one by one, and the children in the village gathered around Qin Yu one by one, saluted in a proper manner, and surrounded Qin Yu towards the village house.

"Muramasa-sama, are you feeling better?" Qin Yu came to the house of the village, and after the salute, he asked.

But the village was suffering from the wind and had been lying in bed for seven days.

"Okay, okay, Childe is back." The corners of Mushimasa's mouth are a little crooked, and his speech is slurred, but he can generally understand it.

Muramasa looked very excited, and wanted to struggle to get up, but he couldn't do it, Qin Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help Muramasa up, and said, "Lord Muramasa, you can recuperate with peace of mind, it must not take long to walk on the ground." ”。

"Alas, borrowing the auspicious words of Qin Gongzi, Qin Gongzi has something important to do when he returns to the village this time?" The village tried hard to recover his mouth, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, and finally sighed and said indistinctly.

"It's not a big deal, this time I came back mainly to see these children, I will stay in Chang'an in the future, these children's studies can't be wasted, I'm wondering if to bring the children to Chang'an, but this still needs the approval of the village and the children's parents." Qin Yu thought for a moment and spoke.

"This, this is a good thing, how can you disagree, the children follow the son I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings, I am in charge of this matter, so I asked them to follow the son to Chang'an." Murazheng's eyes lit up after hearing Qin Yu's words, and he said excitedly.

"Well, as long as Lord Muramasa agrees, I'll ask their parents later, but Lord Muramasa, there are some words, Qin Mou should explain in advance, the children learn with me, and they won't necessarily have any fame." Qin Yu nodded and continued.

The village is able to call the shots, but Qin Yu doesn't want to make it difficult for others, so it's better to ask the children's parents.

"Childe doesn't have to care, it's a great creation for children to learn with Childe, Zhangjiacun naturally won't have any dissatisfaction, Childe can rest assured." Muramasa naturally understood that this was Qin Yu's vaccination again, and hurriedly spoke, for fear that Qin Yu would give up the idea of continuing teaching.

Once the children of Zhangjia Village are successful, it will be a big deal, the status of Zhangjia Village will definitely change dramatically, and the Zhang family will also benefit, how can the village be unwilling.

Although Muramasa's mouth was unfavorable and his words were not true, Qin Yu still chatted seriously, and after a while, he said goodbye to Muramasa.

"It's a pity, I really don't know how to treat this wind." After Qin Yu left the village house, he sighed secretly, the village is a good person, Qin Yu naturally wants the village to recover as soon as possible, but unfortunately Qin Yu can't do anything.

"You go home and ask your parents if you want you to go to Chang'an with me, if you want, prepare and go back to Chang'an with me when the time comes." Qin Yu looked at the group of students waiting at the door of the village's main house, smiled slightly, and spoke.

"The teacher did not give up on us." This is the common sentiment of the 52 children present.

"Yes, Master." The children were inexplicably excited, responded in unison, and after speaking, they turned around and ran to their respective homes to ask their parents, especially those girls who cried with joy one by one, dripping tears as they ran.

Women's lack of talent is virtue appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no such saying in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not that there is no such trend, and most of the women who can read and write are from wealthy families, ordinary people don't think about it, Qin Yu is willing to take them to Chang'an, how can they not be excited.

Qin Yu taught them to read and write, to be reasonable, and to understand a lot of things that they couldn't grasp at this age, although it was still very simple, but it made them enlighten one by one, and they naturally knew the benefits of continuing to learn from Qin Yu.

What's more, their parents often whispered in their ears that Qin Yu was good, and they remembered them one by one, so it was not surprising that they could behave like this at this moment.

Qin Yu came to the workshop with the drawings of the Quyuan plough and the waterwheel, and happened to see Zhang Damao, the skillful hand of Zhangjiacun, so he immediately handed over the drawings to Zhang Damao, asking him to make a template according to the drawings, and then print it in large quantities.

Zhang Damao's carving art is really good, it didn't take long for the template of the Quyuan plough and the waterwheel to be carved out, there is a shape, just waiting to be fired into ceramics, and then you can typeset and print, after all, you also need to use some words to make some explanations, so it saves time and effort.

Qin Yu explained the matter, the villagers of Zhangjia Village carried it out very thoroughly, and in the evening, a thousand illustrated process manuals were placed on Qin Yu's table, and what made Qin Yu cry and laugh was that the villagers of Zhangjia Village actually added his name to the drawings, Qin Yunfei.

The next day, Qin Yu took fifty-two children to the county seat of Yongnian County, and the county order had to pay a visit, and Wangcai said that this county order seemed to have broken a lot of vases and porcelain bowls.

Menzi reported that the county ordered Lu Ziyuan to go out to greet him in person, but before he arrived, Lu Ziyuan clasped his fists with both hands and shouted loudly, "Brother Yunfei Xian, forgive your sins and forgive your sins, Menzi is not sensible, the old man has already reprimanded him, and when Brother Yunfei Xian comes, just come in directly." ”。

"When did this county order become so kind?" Qin Yu had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Where, where, the county lord is in charge of everything, and he should be a model for officials in the Tang Dynasty, Qin is bothered." ”。

Qin Yu's sentence "The Model of Tang Dynasty Officials" made the county order happy, who doesn't like to listen to obedient words, especially from Qin Qiong's nephew Qin Yu.

Qin Yu didn't know that since he was the founder of the county male, the major families had already inquired about his details clearly, so that people who were related to several major clans had also received the news, not to mention Lu Ziyuan, who was the county magistrate of Yongnian County, otherwise how could he be so close.

Isn't it stupid for a person who is very likely to inherit the title of Duke of Guo in the future not to make friends, not to mention that Qin Yu will also become the son-in-law of Lu Guogong, and the enthusiasm of the county order is easy to understand.

"Where, the virtuous brother just treats this as his own home." After the county order finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, hurry up, the virtuous brother will follow me into the room." ”。

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, and then followed the county order that showed a great increase in strength.

When he arrived at the inner house, as soon as he sat down, the maid of the county order brought a bowl of boiling tea, Qin Yu looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, there were some green onions floating on it, ginger, and the blackened minced powder inside seemed to be tea.

"What is the matter with Brother Xian, do you need help for my brother?" After the county commander waved his hand to signal the maid to retreat, he asked kindly.

"The county lord also asks for forgiveness, the people below are not sensible, and they have neglected the county lord, after Qin learned about this, he has taught them a stern lesson, the county lord is a model for the Tang officials, how can he not give the qu yuan plough to the adult, no, Qin brought the drawings to the explanation."

Qin Yu bowed slightly to apologize, and as he spoke, he motioned to the family to hand over the box containing the drawings to the county order Lu Ziyuan.

The county magistrate listened to Qin Yu's words, it was called a happy one, the earlier unhappiness disappeared in an instant, took the box handed over by the family, opened it, looked through a few sheets, and was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Qin Yu opened his mouth and said, "Qin's ability is limited, and this thing still needs to be spread by the county lord throughout the Tang Dynasty." ”。

The county order's breathing gradually became short, if this box of drawings spread all over the Tang Dynasty, then he would naturally be able to get a political achievement, originally he was the idea, but Quyuan plough is owned by Qin Yu, and he can't force it, at this moment Qin Yu sent it to the door, how could Lu Ziyuan not be excited.

After a while, Lu Ziyuan recovered, but he suddenly stood up, hugged his fist at Qin Yu, bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Xian, if you ask for something in the future, you will definitely do your best to help my brother." ”。

"That feather has thanked Brother Lu here." Qin Yu got up and smiled in return.

Lu Ziyuan saw Qin Yu change his name, and naturally knew that Qin Yu really planned to befriend him, and immediately became happy, "Okay, okay, virtuous brother, please sit down quickly, how about tasting the tea that my brother brought from his hometown." ”。

"It's tea." Qin Yu thought strangely in his heart, history is history, seeing is believing, Qin Yu didn't expect that Datang's tea was really like this, and the difference between it and the modern tea making process was too great.

"Brother Xian, please." Lu Ziyuan picked up the teacup and motioned for Qin Yu to drink tea.

Qin Yu followed his words, picked up the teacup, put it under his nostrils, and smelled it gently, a strong smell of green onion and ginger came to his nose, but the smell of tea was a lot lighter, almost invisible, and he took a small sip gently, and a salty taste mixed with the taste of green onion and ginger instantly entered Qin Yu's sense of taste and smell.

Qin Yu naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty's tea was of a very high standard, so he naturally didn't dare to be rude, although it was unpalatable, he still drank it, and he didn't say anything.

"Brother Xian, how is this tea?" The county commander took a sip very intoxicated, and then asked, of course, like Qin Yu, it was also a small sip, and he only took a little sip, otherwise it would be hot.

"Yes, it's really good, I heard Brother Lu say that this tea seems to be something from Brother Lu's hometown?" Qin Yu nodded and said with a smile.

Lu Ziyuan immediately smiled when he heard Qin Yu's praise, and said proudly, "That's natural, don't hide it from the virtuous brother, this tea requires multiple processes to be made, not for the brother's boast, except for the sage's tea, it is the best for the brother." ”。

When Qin Yu heard this, he almost laughed, "This can also be called tea." Of course, Qin Yu wouldn't say it, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu still has any tea, it's just the leaves that have just been picked from the tea tree, and Yu wants to take some back to Chang'an." ”。

"Brother Xian wants to drink tea, how can you not give it for your brother, don't say anything about leaves." When the county magistrate heard Qin Yu's words, he was immediately unhappy, and said with a serious face, it seemed that he was blaming Qin Yu for seeing outside.

Qin Yu naturally saw what Lu Ziyuan meant, and hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, Yu didn't mean this, he just wanted to make tea, so he wanted some tea, and he was also bored in his spare time, and Brother Lu also knew that Yu preferred skills, which made Brother Lu smile." ”。

"I see, it's my brother's mistake to blame the virtuous brother, since this is the case, there are still a lot of uncooked tea leaves for the elder brother, so I will give it to the virtuous brother." Lu Ziyuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and spoke.

Before Qin Yu could thank him, Lu Ziyuan continued, "However, Brother Xian, there is a word for my brother who doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”。

"Brother Lu, please speak." How did Qin Yu know what Lu Ziyuan was going to say, and said with a little doubt.

"Since the virtuous brother is the nephew of the prince of Yiguo, and the son-in-law of Lu Guogong, and he is full of poetry and books, this strange and obscene skill should not be used to be wonderful." Lu Ziyuan said in a somewhat heavy tone.

When Qin Yu heard this, what could he say, there was no way to do it, it was like this in ancient times, so he could only speak, "What Brother Lu said is very true, Yu Zi should keep it in mind, but this tea is purely for interest, and Yu will not do it himself." ”。

"That's fine." Lu Ziyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "How much does the virtuous brother need?" ”。

Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's have a hundred stones first." ”。

"Poof." Lu Ziyuan had just taken a sip of tea in his mouth, and he was suddenly squirted out.

"Brother Xian, how many?" Lu Ziyuan looked at Qin Yu in shock, thinking that he had misheard, and asked.

"A hundred stones, a lot?" Qin Yu glanced at Lu Ziyuan suspiciously, and asked.

Lu Ziyuan was already shocked, but when Qin Yu said it again, his face suddenly stiffened, "Brother Xian, the tea produced for my brother's hometown adds up to only a hundred stones." ”。

Qin Yu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, this is not an obvious lion opened his mouth.

It was only at this time that Qin Yu remembered the Tang Dynasty at this time, the development of the south was not so strong, and most of the things like tea were wild, and most of the people focused on agriculture, coupled with economic limitations, it was impossible to form a scale, and it was indeed difficult for a strong man to open an opening for a hundred stones.

"This, Yu really doesn't know, I thought that the tea was high-yielding, and I hope that Brother Lu will forgive me, since this is the case, Brother Lu will look at it." After Qin Yu finished speaking, he bowed slightly to apologize.

"Brother Xian, don't be embarrassed, being a brother is not a stingy person, in this way, there is still a stone of tea that has not been cooked at the moment, and all of it will be given to Brother Xian." Lu Ziyuan glanced at Qin Yu with some reproach and spoke.

"Then what's so embarrassing, Brother Lu also wants to drink." Qin Yu was so excited that he didn't even learn the words of the ancients.

Can you not be excited, there is only one stone left, and it will all be given to Qin Yu.

Lu Ziyuan raised his hand to stop Qin Yu from continuing to speak, and directly clapped the decision, "This matter is so decided." ”。

"So, Yu Duo thanks Brother Lu." Seeing this, Qin Yu didn't shirk it, hugged his fists and bowed slightly, to show his gratitude.
