Chapter 56

With the title deed, Lin Baozhu slept at night with a smile on his face, and even woke up twice in a dream. [Full text reading. But when she woke up, she shrunk her neck, and when she saw that there was no sound on Zhang Manho's side, she fell asleep happily.

It's just that she looks like a little fox, but she didn't hide it from Zhang Manchu's eyes because it was dark in the house. Thinking that his daughter-in-law was rare to be so childish, it made Zhang Manchu feel rare for a while.

got the paperwork, this time Lin Baozhu is full of confidence. Taking advantage of the time when the fried green was finished, he asked Zhang Manchu to accompany him to the mountain. In order to grab time to pick, she hadn't visited this mountain full of tea trees before.

Now she hasn't discovered that in addition to the little bit of heart she moves, she lives with Zhang Manchu, a man, and she is becoming more and more like an old husband and wife. Now even when I go up the mountain, I want him to accompany me, otherwise I feel unsteady.

This kind of dependence and trust makes Zhang Manchu particularly fond and cherished. Zhang Manchu took his daughter-in-law's hand and walked up along the relatively flat terrain, because no one came to the mountain all year round, so it was very wild, and wild grasses and arrowroot were mixed. Branches and branches are everywhere, and even some streams can only be heard but not seen.

In the summer, there are already many mosquitoes, let alone on the mountains full of wild grass. Fortunately, Zhang Manchu felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he asked his daughter-in-law to wear long-sleeved clothes in advance, and put a layer of gauze on her straw hat.

This is what he saw when he walked the dart, and some people are very particular about it, and they will bring such a hat when they go out. Although he is a reckless man, he is now much more skillful in the training of his daughter-in-law, and he made a simple hat for his daughter-in-law to put mosquitoes in three clicks.

Lin Baozhu saw that the more he went to the top of the mountain, the more branches grew and it was difficult to walk, so he followed his man along the stream that flowed down the mountain and the stones on the side to feel better. Slowly approaching the top of the mountain, the road is actually a little wider, although there are still no people, but the water flow above is obviously much larger, and the sand and gravel on the side can be regarded as paving the road.

Although the road was a little difficult to walk, it did not prevent Lin Baozhu from walking all the way to find useful objects. Now that she is on the mountain, she has really seen a lot of things that make her feel excited.

Not to mention those delicious wild vegetables, the wild beans and wild grapes on the hillside, and the eagle tea that grows teeth and claws in the sunny place, all make her very happy.

Seeing that the terrain was getting flatter, she simply let go of her man's hand and carefully pulled two leaves of eagle tea to taste them. Sweet and bitter but cool, it is really a good thing.

If the white cockscomb picked before is the jí pǐn in tea, it is used for the rich and noble to enjoy tea and preach when they have nothing to do. Then this eagle tea is a must-have summer product for ordinary people.

Speaking of Eagle tea, the preparation is different from other teas, the easiest way is to dry it directly, but although it maintains its original taste, the taste is too bitter for ordinary people, and some people even feel a little killing.

At the beginning, Lin Baozhu had nothing to do to think about the frying method of this kind of tea, but it was also because he inadvertently over-fried, which caused the tea leaves in the pot to have a paste when they were finished. Originally, she was a pity that a pot of tea was fried by herself, but after a little rubbing, she found that some of the softened eagle tea branches and leaves actually had a mellow tea fragrance.

Later, she imitated the method of smoking and eating the villagers in Sichuan, put the fried pasty tea leaves into bamboo slivers, and smoked them with firewood for a few days. Originally, I thought that if I couldn't brew it as tea, I would use the smoked tea leaves to smoke bacon. But I don't want to toss like this, but it makes the original bitter and uncomfortable smell of Eagle Tea have a different taste.

Compared with other teas, it is soft and fragrant, and has a thick taste. And because it is old tea, the tea is first astringent and then sweet, and the taste is thick and strong. However, if you drink it in the summer, you will feel more like quenching your thirst and refreshing.

At that time, Eagle Tea was on the rise for a long time, especially when people ate greasy foods such as hot pot and barbecue, and they liked to drink a few bowls of Eagle Tea.

Later, when she was older, she would look for new teas for roasted tea, and she would also read books like the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that recorded herbs. Only then did I find out that Eagle Tea also has the effects of "coughing, expectorant, asthma, heat and thirst".

There are a lot of gravel on the mountain, and there are a lot of branches and weeds, but there is Zhang Man hoarding, so naturally he will not let his daughter-in-law go to those places to do it.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Lin Baozhu smelled a strong fragrance from afar, and went up a little further along the road, but saw a tree more than one meter thick and the crown covered half of the mountaintop. If it was just an ancient tree, it would be fine, but this tree was a grown eagle tea tree, and looking at Lin Baozhu from a distance, he estimated that it would take more than a hundred years.

Perhaps after being exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and the tea tree has become a climate, the leaves on the tree are more colorful and smelly than the eagle tea in the mountainside area. Lin Baozhu raised his hand and lifted a little gauze on his hat to block the sunlight and looked up, on the top of the tall and thick tea tree, the leaves were dark green, and the bark similar to leopard prints on the branches was looming, and a whole tea tree was lush and poked there, which made people feel cool when they looked at it.

She is a tea maker, and she can see at a glance how valuable this tea tree in front of her is. Although compared to the white cockscomb mother plant under the mountain, although this eagle tea is not expensive, it is also a rare and good tea.

Lin Baozhu, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but show a touch of surprise on his face after looking at the tea tree.

Thinking about what kind of appetizing tea this eagle tea was, she began to itch and couldn't wait to pick a bag immediately. Thinking like this, Lin Baozhu cautiously raised his foot and stepped on the weeds and walked over there, saying that he was cautious, but in fact the speed was not slow.

Zhang Manchu was terrified when he watched from the side, for fear that his daughter-in-law would stumble over a tree branch without leaving a sound, so he naturally used a sickle on the side to help her clear the way.

The two of them picked for almost a quarter of an hour, and according to Lin Baozhu's request, they picked up the thin branches and folded them to make a basket. If this amount is successfully fried, it will have to be two or three catties.

Although she doesn't know what the price of coarse tea can be sold to a tea shop if she roasts this tea by herself, she is still happy in her heart to meet a century-old tea tree. Even if it can't be sold at a good price, Lin Baozhu is confident that this tea will not be sold.

After all, even if the tea shop doesn't value it, isn't there still a tea shop and a tavern? Then there are some stalls selling herbal tea, which will not be smashed in your hands.

When he left the mountain, Lin Baozhu felt that the whole person was full of energy. I didn't expect to buy a mountain for five hundred taels, and it turned out to be all treasures. And Zhang Manchu, who followed behind, looked at his daughter-in-law's happy appearance, and his heart was also relaxed and happy, in his opinion, nothing was as good as his daughter-in-law's laughter, which was worth celebrating.

After a short time, the two of them arrived at the mountainside, picked some old leaves of the white cockscomb, and then went home.

In the middle of the summer, the sun is hot as soon as it rises. When Lin Baozhu and his family came out of the mountains, they met many people who went down to the ground when the sky was slightly bright and the sun was still not hot. At this time, the sky was too panicked, and they didn't bother to plow the ground, and groups of three or five people carried hoes and walked back happily.

The buds in the field are all lit, and the beans and potatoes wrapped in the bud rice field have been dug up in the past few days, and the rest depends on whether God will give the rain, and the so-called relying on the sky to eat is probably like this. In the following days, if the land is not cultivated, it will be time for the men of each family to go out to work again.

After greeting people and asking a few more questions about the work in the field, the two of them arrived home.

Lin Baozhu asked Zhang Manchu to put the freshly picked tea leaves into the sun-dried West House, and then scooped water to wash his hands. After finishing the work, he asked Zhang Man to rest for a while, and he found a few handfuls of tea and went back to the stove to get busy.

The two of them had a lot of fun eating the spicy rabbit meat last time, and thinking that she was happy today, she planned to stew the remaining rabbit meat.

When she got up early and left, she was dough, but now she saw that it was rising very well, thinking that there was no dry food at home, so she simply dug a bowl of white noodles and steamed tea and cakes.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Baozhu got busy, and she mixed up the noodles first. Seeing that the dough was bare, it didn't stick to his hands at all, so he put some brewed tea and tea. Suddenly, the white and tender dough took on some different colors, but it was also pleasing to look at.

After a few months of coming, she has long been accustomed to doing these things, and she has already learned the necessary skills of cooking from her fellow villagers. So naturally she didn't feel embarrassed at all when she steamed the fat pasta, and waited until the white and fat pasta was put into the steaming pot, and she had her hands free to pick up the small plate of rabbit meat.

This time, she stewed rabbit meat, and put a bowl of fine white rice into a basin, and then poured the remaining tea she had just used into it and steamed it. Thinking about pouring rice with stewed fragrant and glutinous rabbit meat and broth for a while, she couldn't help but touch her somewhat hungry stomach.

Look at everything that should be put in the pot, and the tea cake in the cauldron is also fragrant. The fragrance of tea and the sweetness of grain noodles are mixed, but people can't help but salivate.

Even Zhang Manho, who was drawing water outside and drying the quilt, was also led to look at the stove several times.

Lin Baozhu didn't delay anything, pressed the hair cake and bounced up, knowing that it was ripe. So I slipped the grate down, and by the way, I used a freshly washed kitchen knife to cut it into pieces neatly and dried.

"Daughter-in-law, what am I doing with it?" Zhang Manchu saw that there was nothing to do, so he leaned over and asked. Now he is still the fierce man who is full of anger and makes people tremble when they look at him. In front of his daughter-in-law, he is becoming more and more open, although he speaks and acts appropriately, but from time to time he always brings a little childishness.

Lin Baozhu broke a small piece of hair cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Yes, how about using your help to taste the taste." After speaking, his eyes were still shining and he looked at him, waiting for praise alive.
