Chapter 53 The Making of Tea
Seeing that Ming Yi was serious, Hao Dangjia knew that she was kind-hearted, pointed to the forest two steps away, and said: "The one that grows with the lilac [chicken feet] is fragrant bamboo, the inner flesh is fine, and it is the sweetest when it is filled with rice and steamed; The blue and white ones are [Artemisia] and [Poppy], and the adjacent sweet bamboos smell more delicate. The wonderful thing is that they all grew up in mid-August, so they are not very old. How much does the lady want, I will cut it on the spot. He rubbed his wrist as he spoke.
Mingyi listened carefully, stepped forward to take a closer look, and the fresh charm became more and more prominent, soothing the cumbersome thoughts in her heart, and she was at ease. As far as the tentacles are warm and cool, it is rare that the caliber of this fragrant bamboo is impartial, enough to bury the tea green, which is the material for making wax stomping!
She couldn't help but be happy with the dew on her face, and said with a smile: "Xiangzhu follows this pattern, four can be used." In addition, according to this example, two sweet bamboos are enough. ”
Hao Dangjia answered, handed over the four half-person tall bamboo baskets to the two of them, prepared to dress for tea green, and cooked the bamboo by himself.
Ming Yi chose a cluster of tea trees mixed with mountain pepper, taught Shang Chen to only pick leaves, pick buds by himself, and pull it one by one, but he didn't realize that the sky was dark, and the night sky was shining with ten thousand stars.
The two of them returned with Hao Dang's house, and just arrived at the door, and the clear laughter echoed in their ears like silver bells.
"Brother Xin, can you teach me how to play with a gun?" Ah Xiu laughed.
"You are less naughty, my brother is busy with big things, don't bother him." Xiaochan said seriously.
"It's okay, Ah Xiu really wants to learn, I'll take the time to teach you a few tricks, practice diligently, and come back next time to give you a few pointers, and use it to defend yourself." Peng Xin said comfortingly, holding two sets of fences in his hands, forcibly separating the stables, so as not to let the three horses be in the same trough and bite up and tighten the lining.
"Brother still loves me!" Ah Xiu said in praise, smiling and brushing the horse.
"You are less prosperous, both civil and military, don't complain to me when you arrive!" Xiaochan reminded, reading his sentence [Come back again], and her cheeks were smeared with a touch of shame. Seeing that the smoke on the stove was rushing straight upwards, he hurriedly grabbed the food chopsticks and turned over the steamed boar meat.
During this period, Peng Ze quietly chopped wood, and Peng Xiao silently burned the fire.
"It's been a long time since it's been this lively." Hao Dangjia's eyes seemed to recall the past, revealing joy with a hint of melancholy.
Ming Yi couldn't bear his sadness, and hurriedly said: "Hao Dangjia, why don't you just promise Xiaochan to our family, Lang Jun, what do you think?" ”
Shang Chen nodded and smiled, "It's good for you to call the shots!" ”
Hao Dangjia waited for this sentence, "That's an unexpected heavenly fate, and my family Xiaochan is blessed, so I asked the lady to take care of it!" ”
Ming Yi said seriously: "What's the matter, according to my actions, first give some hairpin rings and ear bells, and the right to make a ceremony." When we return, we will come to meet in person and return to Kyoto together, and do family affairs in the beautiful scenery. You see, is it successful? ”
Hao Dangjia said: "It all depends on the thoughtfulness of the Ming Lady, and there is no one who refuses!" ”
Ming Yi learned to hold her fists, "You're polite, you're a family." ”
Shang Chen said in his heart: His own family affairs are still hanging, but he will make wedding dresses for others first!
After Peng Xin cleaned up the manger, he looked up and saw Ming Yi and others standing at the door, and said busily: "Lang Jun, Ming Niangzi, Hao is in charge." As he spoke, he approached and helped unload the basket.
Ming Yi looked at him, "Let's stick to the tea first, and find a place to spread it out!" ”
When Ah Xiu heard this, he put down the work in his hand, hurriedly took the bamboo on Ah Weng's shoulder, stood under the root of the wall, and vacated the drying [water branch willow] again.
Seeing this, Hao Dangjia took down the sieves hanging on the wall next to him, a total of eight, and got together with his Xiaochan to help pour the tea and distribute it.
Seeing that his ancestors and grandchildren did it themselves, Ming Yi was grateful, so he used the excuse that there were a lot of people, and picked out Xiaochan and Pengxin, and instructed: "Take six bamboos out of a single bamboo tube, and be sure to clean it." ”
Peng Zechai also had enough, picked up Ah Xiu's work and continued to brush the horse. Peng Xiao saw that it was good, and served the steamed wild boar in a pot.
It's easy to pick up the bamboo tubes and tea greens on hand one by one, and smell the fragrance on the stove, so that everyone knows that they are hungry.
Ming Yi said greedily: "Sister Xiaochan, I haven't eaten the bowl yet, so I'll worry about the pot first, your skills are really high!" ”
Xiaochan was more envious of Ming Yi, and after her flattery, she liked it and was ashamed, so she had to smile and say: "Ming Niangzi is ridiculously praised, but some ambitions, a little taste, it is our poor heart." ”
In vain, Peng Xiao roared secretly: I also stir-fry, why don't you praise me!
Talking and laughing, he has already swept away the food.
Xiaochan was careful, so she rolled the water on it first, and prepared several buckets to take a bath for Ming Yi and others to get rid of fatigue.
Seeing that Ming Yi was staring at the tea green hanging on the side, Shang Chen said to Hao Dangjia: "Now Ming'er's heart is all on this, everything else will be put aside first, and you can build a bonfire to keep everyone warm!" ”
Ah Xiu first promised himself, "I don't need Ah Weng to do it, I can deal with it in three or two clicks!" ”
Shang Chen nodded in approval, and smiled at Hao Dangjia: "Your grandson is very clever and filial!" ”
He squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, "Don't praise him, he's still young, let's take a look!" ”
Peng Ze and Peng Xiao helped Ah Xiu collect firewood and grass, and after a while, the flames of the prairie illuminated the surroundings.
Hao Dangjia was especially insufficient, so he took a few pieces of [Gasvala] and put them on with Shang Chen and others, not only showing his weight, but also feeling light.
Shang Chen saw Xiaochan holding a brand-new felt in her hand, knowing that it was for Ming Yibei, so he hurriedly took it with both hands, and said: "If you have labor, I can put it on with her." ”
Seeing that Shang Chen was so considerate, Xiaochan couldn't help but look at Peng Xin, and looked at each other again, as if they were burned by a red-hot iron sheet, and they hurriedly looked away.
Ming Yiwu estimated the situation of touching the tea green [withering], and couldn't help but try it, picking the leaves with his left hand and twisting the buds with his right hand. was out of his mind, and he was cold and had an object on his upper body, bluffed, and screamed, causing Lan Yuan to flutter his wings and fly, and Chai Wang roared.
Except for herself, everyone opened their voices and laughed in unison.
Ming Yi said angrily: "Lang Jun, I blame you, I must stuff this half stack of single-section bamboo tubes today!" ”
Shang Chen said playfully: "What if I don't want to? ”
Ming Yi was interested, and said provocatively: "It's okay, stay home, and immediately meet my young and ambitious cousin!" ”
Shang Chen was speechless, and said in his heart: There is no grass at the end of the world, and amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed!
