Chapter Ninety-Six: Buying a Tea Garden in Secret
Guo Shi cried a lot, and he couldn't slow down, and his nose kept pumping. Hearing this suddenly, she was so surprised that she even stopped sobbing, looked at her husband with her mouth half open, and stammered, "You...... You are crazy? ”
????????“ I'm not crazy, I just don't want you to be wronged with your son and daughter. ”
???????? Hearing her husband's thoughtful words, Guo's tears flowed again.
???????? She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and gently slapped her husband's chest with her fist, and said angrily, "You will say good things to coax me." As he spoke, he burst into tears and laughed.
???????? Seeing his wife laughing, Sun Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, if I really say this, my father, eldest brother, and second brother will have to come and coax me." This family, without my money to support, with their ideas, the family has to drink the northwest wind. ”
????????“ Huh, isn't it? Guo snorted lightly, with a slight smug look on his face, "The second master still wants to use silver to move places, dreaming!" ”
???????? After speaking, she sighed: "But that word, you can't say it unless you have to." Once the old lady, the eldest master, and the second master become suspicious, your life will not be easy. ”
????????“ I know that. Sun Chengyue pressed his chin against the top of his wife's hair and said softly.
???????? After saying this, the husband and wife fell silent and did not speak again.
???????? Both of them knew in their hearts that although Mrs. Sun, Sun Chengtan, and Sun Chengyuan, the two brothers, needed him to make money to support the family, he also needed the power of his father and two brothers to be his backers. Otherwise, even if he makes his business bigger, he will be bullied and exploited to bankruptcy. Besides, the reason why his business can do so smoothly is inseparable from his father's position, not how capable he is.
???????? The husband and wife snuggled up, thinking about each other's thoughts.
???????? Suddenly, a maid's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, the old lady called you over." ”
???????? Guo Shi was taken aback, raised his eyes and looked at Sun Chengyue: "It must be for Wen'er's business." ”
????????“ You go first, the old lady asked, and you bit it to death, saying that Miss Zhong will keep filial piety for three years, and we only have Wen'er, the only seedling, and I want him to become a biological son as soon as possible. Sun Chengyue came up with an idea and said, "If she wants to force it again, you will say that you don't dare to be the master, and you need to come back and discuss with me." When the time comes, I'll tell the old lady. ”
???????? Guo himself is actually a person with great ideas. The scene just now was just a grievance in my heart, and I just wanted to get some comfort from my husband.
???????? Hearing this at this time, she nodded: "Don't worry, husband, I know what to do." ”
???????? She stood up, opened the door and asked the maid to fetch water and wash her face, combed her hair again, changed her clothes, and then went to the old lady.
???????? Mrs. He had already returned home at this time, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked the next person: "Where is the eldest young master?" Did you come back? ”
????????“ It's back, and the young master has gone back to his courtyard. ”
???????? Mrs. He nodded, originally wanted to ask someone to call him over, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
???????? He Daoan saw Zhong Lingyu today, and he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, thinking that he still took her words to heart. He finally gave up his thoughts about marrying Zhong Lingyu, if she nagged repeatedly, he was afraid that he would have rebellious thoughts. Let's act as if nothing happened and turn this over the matter.
???????? He Daoan didn't have the heart to think about these things at this time, he was squatting in the yard like an old farmer, watching two men in their forties and fifties roasting tea.
???????? It turned out that Tangliu had returned from Bacheng today, and he had brought back two old tea workers who had bought them at a high price. Because He Daoan was not at home, Yi Yan didn't wait for him, and didn't care that the afternoon hour was not suitable for picking tea, so he immediately sent someone to pick some fresh leaves in the tea garden on the outskirts of the city, and instructed two tea roasters to fry tea.
???????? When He Daoan came back from Sun's house, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the yard smoky and burning, and two strange men were frying tea around the pot. He was overjoyed at once, and he didn't even enter the house, so he squatted there and waited for the tea to come out.
???????? After a while, the two pots of tea were fried almost at the same time.
????????“ Hurry up and try how it tastes. He Daoan was extremely excited.
???????? Yi Yan asked people to bring the tea leaves to the house, and then asked Mozhu to boil water and make a few cups of tea. He and He Daoan each had a cup, and the two roasted tea workers also had a cup each.
???????? As a roasted tea worker, tasting the taste of tea is also a very important homework. You can't even taste the quality of tea, and naturally you can't fry good tea.
???????? Looking at the green tea leaves on the teacup that slowly unfolded with the moisturization of hot water, as well as the faint fragrance that diffused from the teacup, before they drank it, He Daoan, Yi Yan and the two tea roasters all had their eyes lit up.
???????? Nowadays, except for several kinds of tea created by Onishi masters, such as pineapple tea and Dafang tea, other tea leaves are steamed and green.
???????? The so-called steamed green tea leaves are first steamed or lightly boiled to "scoop the green" and softened, then rolled, dried, crushed, and shaped. The tea made in this way has almost no external fragrance, and the aroma is dull, with a sense of youth; It also tastes more astringent.
???????? The pineapple tea is different, it adopts the method of frying, stir-frying in the pot on one side, and kneading it by hand on the other hand, so that the cell wall of the tea is destroyed, and it is easy to overflow with fragrance when brewing, and the color of the tea leaves is more tender green, not as heavy as steamed green; When you drink it, the taste is more refreshing and sweet, and the astringency is almost equal to none compared to steamed green tea leaves. Of course, this is talking about tea leaves of the level of pre-Ming or pre-rain tea. Summer tea and autumn tea still have an astringent taste, but it is much lower than steamed green tea.
???????? Therefore, once the pineapple tea came out, it was greatly loved by tea people.
???????? He Daoan and Yan Yi naturally drank pineapple tea, and the roasted tea workers often fried tea on Songluo Mountain, and the taste of pineapple tea was good or bad even if it was smelled from afar. So at this time, as soon as the tea leaves were stretched out in the boiling water, they knew that the tea could not be wrong.
???????? They were in a hurry to taste the taste, and before they could speak, they blew two sips of the teacup, and when the tea soup was a little cooler, they took a sip of tea.
???????? A sweet and refreshing smell fills the mouth.
???????? Due to the season, and the fact that it has just been fried and has not yet dissipated the fireworks, although the taste of this tea is a little worse than the Ming Qian tea and the pre-rain tea that were fried some time ago, several people know that this is the taste of pineapple tea.
????????“ Haha, it worked. He Daoan couldn't help laughing.
???????? Yi Yan, who has always been happy and unremarkable, couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
???????? Several tea roasters were also very happy.
???????? They were bought by He Daoan, and they were cut off from the way back to Bacheng. If this tea does not work, although He Daoan promised to still arrange for them to do things elsewhere, the degree of respect is very different. And now that it has been confirmed that after leaving Songluo Mountain, they can also fry pineapple tea, and a few of them can become the elders and pillars of the Shen family's tea garden, and the future is completely predictable.
???????? Putting down the teacup, He Dao turned his head and asked, "Go buy a tea garden?" ”
