Chapter 25: Mint

This realm, to put it bluntly, is an alley, and some old uncles and aunts in the box are holding some unknown things in their hands, as well as a pictorial.

Zhang Ruoyu walked in with curiosity, but she didn't expect to be stopped by an aunt as soon as she came in, and she was eager to sell her son to her.

This aunt is not over yet, as soon as the others saw that there was a fresh girl, they pounced directly, and that hungry look was almost like the old prostitutes in the Teaching Division.

"You wait! I look at this girl who is very suitable for my son! Get out of the way! ”

"I'm bah, you don't look at your son's virtues, just that height, it's not as good as my family's well-off!"

"Girl, take a good look, I have a portrait of my son in my hand, Tong Su is not bullied!"

......

Zhang Ruoyu finally squeezed out of the corner in the crowd of a bunch of uncles and aunts, and those uncles and aunts didn't know who was shouting around there.

"Oh, I'll go, is this white veil on my face fake? Why did he suddenly pounce. ”

Zhang Ruoyu touched the white veil on his face with palpitations, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

This alley relationship is the ancient version of the blind date corner, but a change of clothes! It's also a little scary.

"Girl, come here. If they can't find anyone later, and you're still standing there, won't that be a disaster? "Around the corner of the alley, there was a plainly dressed old woman sitting there with some herbs in front of her.

She beckoned to Zhang Ruoyu kindly and motioned for her to come over.

Zhang Ruoyu glanced back and forth on both sides, it was still safe for this old woman who didn't know the details.

She slipped to the grandmother's side with her skirt, and then squatted directly in the corner of the visual dead end.

Sure enough, after a while, those people found that the little girl had slipped away, and they complained to each other, and then returned to their places to close their eyes and recuperate, waiting for the next "prey" to enter the pit.

Zhang Ruoyu only dared to speak after seeing that the situation was stable: "Grandma, is this a blind date corner?" ”

The grandmother kindly handed Zhang Ruoyu a cup of tea, "Yes, the big guys came out for the children in the family, and it's not easy." ”

"Then why are you staying here?"

"There are a lot of people here, and there is no one in my family anymore, so I sell some herbal tea and herbs made by myself here, and I can support myself to some extent."

Zhang Ruoyu took the tea, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, smelling a familiar cold smell.

She drank it all, then opened her eyes in surprise.

That's mint! Her special magic weapon for winemaking!

When she came here, she inquired around for a long time as a male of the Zhang family, but she never heard about the plant mint. She originally thought that in this dynasty, mint had not yet been discovered.

But today can be said to be worth the effort, even if she was crowded by the group of uncles and aunts just now, but this cup of mint tea is already the biggest surprise.

Hiding the surprise in his eyes, Zhang Ruoyu pretended to be slightly surprised and asked, "Why is this tea so cold in the mouth?" ”

"yes, that's my door-blocking craft."

"It's this grass, I've dried it, you smell it, does it have a slightly cool fragrance?"

Zhang Ruoyu took a dried herb from the grandmother's hand, and sniffed it lightly, and the green grass and cold aroma belonging to mint came to his nose. And because after drying, the original mint with a cold and cold breath has also been relieved, as if wrapped in a layer of sunlight, with a gentle coldness to the hearts of people.

"Hehe, grandma, how many of these herbs do you have, I bought them all."

Zhang Ruoyu has already determined that this is the mint he has been looking for for a long time, so he naturally will not let go of such a great opportunity. And this old lady looks like a gentle and kind person, and it is not a loss to do this business.

When the old woman heard this, she first glanced at Zhang Ruoyu in surprise, and then carefully looked at Zhang Ruoyu's dress.

Thanks to Zhang Ruoyu, Zhao Ling prepared women's clothes for himself, with his financial resources and ability, Zhang Ruoyu must be not bad, at least she looks like a kind of daughter who is either rich or expensive.

After looking at Zhang Ruoyu, the old grandmother breathed a sigh of relief, this little girl was telling the truth.

"Then come with me, I'll take you to my house to have a look."

"Okay."

After the two of them cleaned up, they left the alley with their cats in mind.

Zhang Ruoyu followed her grandmother to her house, the so-called home is actually a simple small house, and the yard in the house is full of all kinds of herbs.

Among them is Zhang Ruoyu's old partner Qinggencao, and a large area of vigorous mint leaves.

Zhang Ruoyu's eyes were glowing when she saw that, if she hadn't taken into account that this was still someone else's house, she would have jumped directly after seeing that she couldn't walk.

"You see, these are all herbs that I picked from the mountains, and after trying them, they can be eaten and are somewhat useful, so I planted so many."

"As for the kind of cool leaves you mentioned, I saved a lot of ......"

Before the grandmother finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyu took it excitedly: "No matter how much, I want them all." ”

The old lady paused, then nodded, "It's okay, the price is ...... It may be a little more expensive, six cents and five taels ......"

"Good!" Zhang Ruoyu directly clapped his hands to decide, and then took out a piece of silver from his bag and stuffed it directly into the grandmother's hand.

"This money is pressed on you first, I'll go home and ask someone to come over to carry and settle the account! You'll have to wait for me! ”

As if she was afraid that the old woman would regret it, she left the money and left.

And Zhao Ling had just finished warming up, and was directly pulled away by Zhang Ruoyu, who rushed into the wine shop like a small whirlwind, and trotted all the way to the old woman's house.

"Ah Ling!" Zhang Ruoyu looked happy, his eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, "I'll leave it to you if I bring these back to the winery!" ”

She pointed to the pile of dried mint leaves that the old woman had sorted out, as well as fresh mint plants.

Zhao Ling looked surprised, and he just wanted to open his mouth with countless questions in his heart, but he disappeared after Zhang Ruoyu looked at each other.

Whatever she likes, buy it back.

It took Zhao Ling a lot of effort to bring those plants back to the winery, and Zhang Ruoyu also directly agreed with the old woman for the future.

After Zhang Ruoyu returned to the winery, he went directly into the winemaking room with a bundle of green roots and a bundle of mint, and as soon as the door was closed, Zhao Ling was directly blocked out of the door.

"I ......" Zhao Ling originally wanted to ask if he needed his help, but who knew that Zhang Ruoyu didn't even take off his veil, and directly entered the brewery wearing a woman's clothes.

The sound of the door closing was like saying, "I can do it!" "General.

In this regard, Zhao Ling could only wave his hand, and it was not the first time that Zhang Ruoyu had done this. In the past few days, whenever she finds any materials outside that can make wine, she will always come back and keep herself in the brewing room for an afternoon, and will not come out until she has really studied it.

"What do you want to eat at noon?" Zhao Ling knocked on the door without giving up, but there was still no one in the door to answer questions.

He shook his head helplessly, no matter what, let's let Aunt Liu stew some chicken soup for her, these days of running outside, I always feel a little less.

What Zhao Ling thought was that Zhang Ruoyu entered the space directly after entering the brewing room and found his own unique brewing room.

"It's really worth it, and I really found mint!"

Zhang Ruohao first changed into a vest and short sleeves that can only be seen in modern times, then brought a bucket of spiritual springs and directly began to clean those mint leaves.

At present, there are two ways to do mint leaves, one is to add mint leaves to the original formed green root wine to enhance the taste of green root wine; The second is to make wine directly, but if it is the second item, it is not enough to just mint.

Zhang Ruoyu was thinking while washing the leaves.

In green root wine, it is not difficult to have mint leaves, but the dosage is also a very critical step. Peppermint is something that not everyone can accept his taste before, and it is too cold when he adds too much; Add too little and you won't be able to highlight the mint taste.

And making mint into wine is another question, will it be too cold in the mouth? What will be the effect when the time comes? These are all points that Zhang Ruoyu is difficult to grasp.

Forget it, let's try it first!

Zhang Ruoyu stretched his limbs and entered the brewing room with the cleaned mint.

......

Seeing that the sun had set, Zhang Ruoyu hadn't come out yet.

On weekdays, Zhang Ruoyu will find the fragrance of rice no matter whether he succeeds or not. But today's chicken soup has been boiling for so long, and she hasn't moved.

Zhao Ling stood at the door of the brewing room, he raised his hand and knocked lightly three times, but no one in the room answered.

Zhao Ling's face gradually turned cold, winemaking was originally a physically demanding thing, if Zhang Ruoyu fainted in the brewing room but no one answered?

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, his legs were already silently accumulating, if Zhang Ruoyu hadn't moved after counting five, then he was bound to break in.

"Five, four, two, one."

When Zhao Ling took a step back and was about to raise his foot and kick forward, the door of the brewing room opened by itself.

Zhang Ruoyu had a dying look on his face, and stood there with a small jar of wine in his arms, maintaining a posture of opening the door.

"Ah Ling, what are you...... Warming up before meals? ”

was ridiculed by Zhang Ruoyu, Zhao Ling could only shake the corners of his mouth, "Yes, yes." ”

He jumped on one foot, changed direction, kicked the raised kick out directly, and also came with a double flying foot to prove the fact that he had just "warmed up before eating".

Zhang Ruoyu covered his mouth and smiled, and patted Zhao Ling's shoulder: "The warm-up is over, let's go, I'll let you taste my newly made wine." ”

At the dinner table, Zhang Ruoyu stared at Liu Xiu and Zhao Ling and tasted a glass of wine, staring at the faces of the two people without slackening.

"How?"

The first to speak was Liu Xiu, who didn't drink much when she was in Zhang's house, so she just took a sip. She licked the corners of her mouth, this time the wine was just a small sip, and there was something unfinished.
