Chapter 148: Su Ruanmei was treated coldly by King Zheng
There are a total of one hundred and eight rooms in this Yunxiu Villa, nine of which are pavilions, and the others are houses and wings, and the overall layout of the villa is that the east side is the observation deck, the west side is the storeroom, the south side is the kitchen, the north side is the account room, the northeast corner is the granary, the northwest corner is the doorway up the mountain, the southeast corner is the doorway down the mountain, and the southwest corner is a garden. This Zhuangzi will be taken care of by you Miss Su in the future, so you still need to understand the general direction of Zhuangzi. ”
After Turnip finished speaking, she led Su Ruanmei down the mountain from the southeast corner.
"This mountain is the little emperor's palace, we can't go, and the northwest corner of the mountain doorway also let the little emperor to be sealed, if the little emperor wants to go to the palace to live, usually go to the official road of the back mountain, usually we slaves and maids do not dare to go up the mountain, because there are eunuchs in the palace guarding the mountain, if ordinary people go up the mountain without permission, but they will be arrested and questioned."
As she spoke, Turnip walked to a lookout at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss Su, you see, all the land under this mountain belongs to my prince, and that piece of green is the tea garden, the person in charge is Chen Su, and the overgrown weeds over there are also a fertile land, but the prince is too lazy to take care of it, so he let it be barren, and over there, the prince originally wanted to plant some fruits and vegetables in that plum, but because he didn't have time to take care of it, so in the end, it didn't work, and there was also the back mountain, which was originally the land of the prince, but the little emperor let the palace people put all kinds of rare and exotic grasses on that kind of place, The most annoying thing is that such a beautiful place is enclosed by a high wall, and we can't find it even if we want to go and enjoy it. ”
Turnip is a little lost when it comes to this.
Su Ruanmei looked at such a large piece of land, and she also had her own calculations in her heart, if all these lands were planted with valuable crops or traditional Chinese medicine, how much silver would she have to earn in that year.
Su Ruanmei and Turnip enjoyed the scenery along the way while walking, and when they came to Chen Sue's tea garden, they saw Chen Sue and a group of tea farmers carrying dozens of bags of tea.
"Uncle Chen, where are so many tea leaves going to, His Royal Highness King Zheng's Zheng Zhuang shouldn't need so much tea."
Turnip stepped forward and asked Chen Sue very curiously, but Chen Sue said a little helplessly.
"These are tea leaves below the second grade, and His Royal Highness King Zheng won't drink this kind of tea, so I asked the tea farmers to dispose of them by luck."
After Chen Sue finished speaking, he waved his hand to the tea farmers, and the tea farmers raised their whips to drive the ox carts, ready to set off.
"Throw it away?"
Su Ruanmei's eyes widened, she stopped one of the ox carts, and took out the tea leaves on it and sniffed it.
"This tea is so fragrant, even if it is left in modern times, it will have to be sold for at least a thousand yuan a catty, do you really want to throw them away?"
When Su Ruanmei said this, Chen Sue replied.
"Miss Su, these tea leaves are not to be thrown away, but to be transported to the pasture in Zhengzhuang to be used as forage for cows."
After Chen Sue finished speaking, Su Ruanmei looked indifferent, thinking that this King Zheng's cow is really a blessing, thousands of pounds of tea they chewed and ate like this, I don't know if they can directly squeeze out milk tea.
"Instead of letting the cows eat it, it's better to use it for waste."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Chen Sue and Turnip were both confused.
Su Ruanmei asked Turnip to find some eggs and cooking spices, and then took the tea leaves out of the bag and put them in the stone pot for stir-frying tea with egg spices.
"Sister Su, didn't you just eat breakfast, why did you get hungry so quickly."
Su Ruanmei saw Turnip's cute look, so she pinched her face with her hand again.
"Silly girl, Sister Su is going to make you the most delicious and valuable tea eggs in the world. You must know that not everyone can afford to eat these thousands of tea eggs. ”
As soon as Su Ruanmei's words fell, the pot was already gurgling.
Su Ruanmei lifted the lid, picked up a shovel again, and broke the eggs in the stone pot one by one.
When the tea eggs are cooked, the aroma permeates the entire tea plantation.
"Well, it smells so good, what is that girl doing?"
Tea farmers from near and far, as well as tea girls picking tea, are all approaching the pergola.
Su Ruanmei shoveled out a tea egg with a shovel, and then put it in a purple clay pot full of cold water.
"Come on, come on, try the tea eggs I made."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Turnip took out the tea egg from the purple clay pot, the tea egg was still a little hot, and the turnip peeled off the eggshell of the tea egg, and saw that the egg whites in it appeared in small brown lattices of different sizes.
Turnip put the egg in her mouth and bit it hard, and the aroma of tea leaves and the sweetness of the egg white filled Turnip's teeth and cheeks.
"Wow, what a delicious egg, I didn't expect an ordinary egg to be so delicious."
The turnip then took another bite, and saw that the yolk inside had also changed color.
Chen Sue saw that the turnips were eaten one and picked up another, and he himself licked his lips unconsciously.
Su Ruanmei peeled a tea egg and handed it to Chen Sue, who was also very happy to take the real tea egg.
Chen Sue gave Su Ruanmei a thumbs up after taking the first bite.
"This tea egg is so fragrant, Miss Su, you are really a good craft."
Su Ruanmei saw that those tea farmers and tea girls also wanted to eat tea eggs, so she shoveled all the tea eggs out of the stone pot and handed them to them one by one.
When everyone tasted the charm of tea eggs, everyone couldn't stop, so these eggs and tea were not rare, so Su Ruanmei continued to cook a few pots.
"Chen Suo, you go and tell His Royal Highness King Zheng that this unwanted tea can be divided into two grades in the future, the slightly better ones will be wrapped in straw paper and sold to ordinary people, and the second ones will be made into tea eggs, which can also make money."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Chen Sue nodded yes, and Wujing saw that Su Ruanmei was so virtuous, so she hugged her arm and shouted Sister Su affectionately.
In the evening, Su Ruanmei made a table of good dishes and waited for King Zheng to return, but there was no trace of King Zheng outside Zhuangzi, Su Ruanmei had never been so eager to meet a man as she was at this moment, and this man was not the person she really thought about.
"Sister Su, King Zheng shouldn't be coming over tonight, you better eat by yourself first."
Turnip stood beside Su Ruanmei and helped her clip a piece of chicken with chopsticks.
"How can I eat so many meals alone, turnips, you can sit down and eat with me."
When Su Ruanmei said this, the turnip pushed her hand and said.
"How dare a slave or maid eat at the same table with the master, if this is seen by others, then it will be fine." 166 Reading Network
