Because Chong'an County is a large tea-producing county, there are also a lot of camellia oil planted in the mountains, and the tea oil squeezed from the fruit of Camellia oleifera has become another major industry here.

Moreover, the top "golden jade oil" is still a tribute, and a pound of oil can be exchanged for half a stone of rice grain, but ordinary people and governments do not allow them to grow oil tea privately.

They were all contracted by local magnates and wealthy landlords, and the local mountain people and farmers could only pick up some wild camellia fruits to make oil, and the output was very small.

However, "tea withered" is very cheap, ordinary people can go to the oil mill to buy a piece of tea withered cake for a few pennies, a piece weighs two catties, if just wash clothes, a piece is enough for a month.

Originally, the Ye family also had 30 acres of camellia mountain land, but unfortunately they were sold cheaply in order to save Ye Wenjun.

Now the tea withered in the Ye family is made from the wild tea fruits that Ye Laosan's family picks up in the mountains every year.

The method of mixing water with plant ash is very simple, and the leaf leek buds can be made by themselves.

"It's okay, anyway, there is a lot of straw, and I can make grass and gray water myself, so you can give it to me tomorrow morning, it's very dark now, you go back to grandma, I guess they will call you to eat in a while." Ye leek bud road.

Ye Xi nodded, "Sister, I'll go find tea for you first, don't be in a hurry to eat." ”

After saying that, Ye Xi walked out of the house, slowly avoided the rain under the eaves and walked to Ye Jiang's side, knocked on the door and asked her to take the tea.

Ye Jiang asked him what he was going to do, and he said that he would use it to wash his hair and rest today.

So Ye Jiang's found him a piece of tea the size of a child's palm, and asked him to go to Xiao's to ask for hot water.

Ye Xi came out of Ye Jiang's place, and returned the same way to give Ye Leek Ya all the tea withered, and then he went to the kitchen and asked Xiao Shi for hot water to wash his hair.

Xiao was jealous of Huang because of the afternoon, and she was not happy, Huang went to buy vegetables, and she hadn't come back to cook yet, she was reluctant to boil hot water for Ye Xi, and her thin lips closed one by one and yelled at him.

"Now that it's almost dinner, my own clothes haven't been washed yet, and you still have to waste a piece of tea to wash your hair, and you don't need firewood to boil water? Why don't you look for Huang if you want hot water, she is your stepmother! I can't find you everywhere in the afternoon, so we just want us to serve you, you loser! ”

Ye Xi glanced at the old man Ye who came behind her, and said to the standing Xiao family: "Auntie, I know that I don't have time to work hard for you to study, next time I will definitely help you do more work, don't scold me, take a break today, I have to wash my hair and take a bath, otherwise I will make a joke when I go to the school tomorrow." ”

"Whew!" Scholars are noble, and the in-laws are too unfair, why don't you let her son go to the school to study, Xiao was interrupted by a cough before he finished speaking.

Old man Ye's rather shrewd eyes swept over her, his face was full of disgust, and he spat on the ground and scolded, "What did you say?" There is no face and no skin, what's wrong with the old Ye family for a reader? Even if you don't eat or drink, you have to save food for the baby who is studying! What's more, it's for you to boil some hot water for Xi'er, where did you get so much nonsense, if you don't want to work, just go back to your Xiao family. ”

Xiao Shi was stunned suddenly, so angry that her whole body was trembling, her face was blue and white, her teeth were biting her lip tightly, and she wanted to argue a few words, but she didn't have the courage to talk back to her father-in-law.
