Dongping didn't need Yan Jiasheng and the little servants and old family members to do it, they moved the stool neatly, and made tea with the tea and tea sets they brought with them.

Yan Jiasheng's eyebrows flew and danced directly, this hobby is the same, it really makes people sigh, Yan Jiasheng's love is simply an idiot! Li Xiaoqi only threw out one, but Yan Jiasheng chose the place, and he took care of the tea mountain according to his heart, and he would never care more, but if he wanted him to grow the best tea within ten years, before he could say it, Yan Jiasheng had already agreed, and he didn't think of the salary at all, just stared at Li Xiaoqi and asked her to promise not to interfere, Li Xiaoqi smiled, and simply didn't say anything about the side, only made an appointment with him tomorrow to let the steward Zhang Zhongyi come to him to talk in detail.

Li Xiaoqi and Su Zicheng went out, Yan Jiasheng sent them all the way out of the gate, and then suddenly remembered that he had followed an owner, but who this owner was hasn't asked yet, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled and didn't answer, Li Xiaoqi suddenly remembered Su Zicheng's words just now that he was 'Neizi', and was embarrassed for a moment, before he replied with a smile: "My surname is Li, because of Xingwu, and I often walk outside, they all call me the fifth master." Although Yan Jiasheng was obsessed with growing tea, he was a smart person, so he was stunned, and turned his head sharply to look at Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng arched his hand and smiled: "My surname is Su." ”

Yan Jiasheng couldn't believe it for a while, and was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were weak, Su Zicheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him and said with a smile: "Mr. doesn't have to be like this, Mr. Xiao Wumu is talented, he has long told me that he wants to come to visit Mr., because he is busy with mundane affairs, he only came today, I and Xiao Wu both love tea, and we want to drink good tea in the future, but I want to ask Mr. here." Yan Jiasheng's face flushed, listening to Su Zicheng talk about loving tea, he suddenly turned around and ran to the yard, blinking an eye and running out with a small fine porcelain tea can, and raised the tea can in front of Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi to offer treasure and said: "Lord Wang, Fifth Master, this is the best tea in Yishan Field this year, a total of more than this catty, Lord Wang Ye will definitely not be able to drink it, it is definitely good tea!" ”

Su Zicheng was stunned, Li Xiaoqi laughed out loud, and pointed his finger at Yan Jiasheng while laughing: "I don't care about the side, in the future, what tea you drink, I will ask for what kind of tea!" Yan Jiasheng looked at Li Xiaoqi embarrassedly, rubbed the sides of the robe with both hands, and smiled embarrassedly: "Fifth master, rest assured, rest assured!" It is said that the fifth master is shrewd•••••• Yan Jiasheng said and felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly turned to Su Zicheng and said: "It's not •••••• that, it's all said that the prince is a corporal, it's really true." Su Zicheng patted Yan Jiasheng with a folding fan and said with a smile: "It is your blessing to be able to do things with Xiao Wu, and you will grow tea with your heart in the future." Yan Jiasheng almost agreed to the end, and sent the two out of the distance.

Turning a corner, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the tea caddy held in Beiqing's hand and said with a smile: "Go back and taste this tea, and you will know what the best tea on Huainan Road tastes like." ”

"The best tea? Aren't there many in the courtyard? It's all tribute. Su Zicheng smiled disapprerovingly, Li Xiaoqi looked at him, just smiled and didn't speak, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with a smile and said, "Don't play dumb riddles with me, what's going on?" ”

"There are rules for the officials here, you just listen, don't lose your temper again." Li Xiaoqi warned first, and then explained with a smile: "Not only tea, this tribute, must be the current management of their own in advance, pick the best or give yourself a full mouth, or keep it for others, and then the next best to keep it for the boss, boss, get these, naturally keep some for yourself, and then give it to the boss, and I don't know who is who, this way has to be sent to the capital, for example, after the festival this year, I got a small basket of truffle mushrooms, so down, if the amount of tribute is ten catties, then send it all the way, At least 100 catties, these gifts are better than tribute. ”

Su Zicheng's eyebrows straightened up a little when he listened, and Li Xiaoqi hurriedly warned him: "I said that I didn't lose my temper!" Su Zicheng snorted with his teeth staggered, Li Xiaoqi looked at him and smiled: "Like this Yishan Tea Field, as usual, a certain number of tributes are paid every year, but the tributes can be made before the rain, and the best tea, where, are all in that jar." Speaking of which, this can't all blame them, you think, just say that the tea is good, how much can be picked every year before the Ming Dynasty, what is the quality, no one can say, if you rush to the early spring extreme cold, maybe you can't pick a few taels of tea before the Ming Dynasty, if you catch up with the small disaster that is not enough to report, it is impossible to say, if the best tea is made a tribute, the quality of the tribute must be a good year and a bad year, up and down, just say you're good, if the tribute taste of which year is not as good as the previous year, do you think it's not good to do a bad job, or understand this is common sense? Therefore, this tribute is not about the best, but about the stable quality! ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng, who was pale, and concluded unceremoniously: "So, you can't eat good things in the palace at all." ”

"I'm not saying that things are good or not, this tribute is ten catties, and it will cost a hundred catties! Isn't there any way to deal with these corrupt officials?! Su Zicheng was furious, and Li Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the only way is to don't pay tribute, as long as there is tribute, this is inevitable!" ”

"Then don't pay tribute!" Su Zicheng staggered his teeth and said, "When I go back, I will write to my eldest brother and check off all the tribute!" Li Xiaoqi looked at him a little sullenly, and after thinking about it, it was not good not to say it, so he had to pull Su Zicheng and muttered in a low voice: "What are you anxious about?" If you and Prince Ning hook off the emperor's tribute, won't that become unfilial piety? Don't be in a hurry at this time, wait for you•••••• wait for your eldest brother to become the emperor in the future, and you can hook it again. Okay, let's not talk about this, it's not too early, let's hurry up to Greenwillow Town for lunch, let's go! Li Xiaoqi diverted the topic and quickened his pace.

got on the horse at the foot of the tea mountain, but trotted for two quarters of an hour, then entered Luliu Town, came out of Yangzhou, Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi and his party went to Yishan Tea Farm, Nanning took a few small guards to escort Haitang and other girls and a few cars went straight to Luliu Town to prepare. When Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoqi arrived, the Xiaofen tea shop in the east of the town had been cleaned up, the three of them cleaned their hands and faces, Xirong and Cherry served tea, and the three of them drank a cup of tea, and the dishes came up one after another.

The thing is washed by Begonia with people, but this dish is the chef of the tea shop, that is, the hand of the proprietress Yao Pozi, the real Huainan town flavor, Li Xiaoqi eats with relish, while eating, he carefully explains to Su Zicheng where the benefits of this dish are, what is the beauty of that dish, Su Zicheng tasted the same as Li Xiaoyi's words, and really ate the wonders that Li Xiaoqi said, I only felt that everything was sweet and delicious, Nanning and Xi'an stood not far away, speechless looking at their masters, Among those dishes, there are obviously many of them that the master doesn't like to eat, and he usually doesn't dare to serve them at all!

The two talked and laughed, after eating a meal for more than half an hour, Haitang took people to remove the dishes and went down, not long, leading a black and fat mother-in-law over, Su Zicheng looked at the mother-in-law in surprise and curiosity, black into this, fat into such a woman, he is really the first time to see it, Li Xiaoqi has already said with a smile: "Grandma Yao, thank you for your meal, it is really delicious!" ”

"If the girl likes it, if she likes it, if she likes it! The girl is so good-looking! Just like the White Lotus! The fairies painted that year were not as beautiful as the girls! This master is also good-looking! How expensive it looks! Mrs. Yao smiled and praised with a smile, and the smile on Su Zicheng's face was directly praised into embarrassment, Li Xiaoqi smiled and asked, "Grandma, is business good here?" How much money can I make in a year? ”

"That's it! I can have four or five dollars left a year, and there are dozens of acres of land at home, so I can barely cover the family's mouth! Mrs. Yao replied simply and heartily,

"I was in the army a while ago, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to do business."

"I didn't think it was right, first I heard that it hit Chuzhou, and I was scared, the old man said that he wanted to flee, and he forced me to suppress it! Who came not to collect grain and pay for it? You say yes, right? Later, I heard that Lord Tang had dedicated the city, and then he had also passed the army, so he passed by that road! It's all black, and you say it's a hot day, and he's not too hot? •••••• "Mrs. Yao is extremely talkative, talking and talking, talking endlessly, Li Xiaoqi listened with interest, Mrs. Yao said for half an hour, when her mouth was dry, she stopped talking, Li Xiaoqi smiled and gestured to Xirong to hand her a cup of tea and said: "It's really interesting to listen to Grandma talk, it's late today, if I have time one day, I'll listen to Grandma again." ”

Haitang hurriedly touched about two taels of silver bills from his purse and handed it to Mrs. Yao and said, "This is today's meal money, thank you!" Mrs. Yao took the silver bill, hurriedly put it in her mouth and bit it, flicked it with her fingers again, quickly put it to her ear and listened, turned her head to look at the begonia and said in surprise: "It's really silver!" Haitang looked at her with tears and laughter, not knowing what to say, Li Xiaoqi stood up, looked at Yao Pozi, and Su Zicheng sighed in a low voice: "This is still a wealthy family in the town, and the poor •••••• I don't know how many people have never seen silver in their lives." ”

Su Zicheng looked at Mrs. Yao, who was holding the silver tightly and didn't know how to express it happily, and sighed pityingly.

Throughout August, Li Xiaoqi just pulled Su Zicheng to see the tea mountains and wine shops everywhere on Huainan Road, and went to the village to watch the autumn harvest and autumn planting, and almost walked around Yangzhou, the nearby famous temples and ancient temples, scenic spots, and even more like a place, Li Xiaoqi took Su Zicheng to live for a night or two, where to play, where to eat, where to live, the two played until the end of August, the chrysanthemums bloomed, the crabs were on the market, Li Xiaoqi was tired of playing, and then began to rest in the house to eat crabs and enjoy chrysanthemums.
