Chapter 67 New Tea is Born
Lixia!
Entering the beginning of summer also indicates that the weather is really starting to warm up.
Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others, who were sent to Jiangnan to purchase tea, finally returned to Chang'an City.
Drive!
A steed came straight to Regen's estate.
The four dogs ran to the door as fast as they could.
Looking at that happy look, Li Gen knew who was coming.
More than a month.
Four little guys, growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Now they are a foot and a half tall, and their hair is getting shinier and shinier.
It's more endearing than when I was a child.
"Brother Chumo, you're here."
"Seventh brother, it's really yours, you don't have to go out, you know it's me."
Cheng Chumo walked towards the room with a big grin.
"It's all the credit of the four of them, every time I see them running out in a hurry, I know that Brother Mo must be here."
Cheng Chumo scratched his head embarrassedly and said.
"Seventh brother, it's really strange, since the first time we met, the four of them bit me, and they were amiable to me."
"Brother Mo, this is called not fighting, not knowing each other."
As soon as Li Gen spoke, he grinned.
"Seventh brother, where is grandpa?"
Cheng Yanjin looked around left and right, but didn't see Li Yuan's figure. So he asked.
"Grandpa, I'm going to the river."
Li Gen closed the book in his hand, and he looked quite unbearable.
"What are you doing by the river?"
"Grandpa wanted to see those sweet potato seedlings grow up with his own eyes, and he was worried that hares and birds would come to Huohuo sweet potato seedlings, so he insisted on going to the river to build a thatched house."
"I can't persuade him, but as long as grandpa is happy."
When Cheng Chumo heard that Li Yuan was not there, he was happy in his heart.
"Seventh brother, do you have meat?"
"Yes, braised food, steamed, fried, stir-fried, what do you want to eat?"
Li Gen's words made Cheng Chumo's mouth full of relish, and his saliva flowed.
"Seventh brother, give me a bowl of everything! Fill my stomach, I still have important things to discuss with my seventh brother. ”
Li Gen smiled and nodded.
"If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and serve it yourself, Chunmei and Chunlan are in the kitchen!"
Cheng turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
When he returned, he came into the house with a large pot of meat.
Li Gen was convinced.
Why do people in this era like to eat meat so much!
Cheng Chumo devoured unceremoniously.
For the four dogs around him, Cheng Chumo was quite generous.
All the bones that were spit out were eaten by the four dogs.
This made Li Gen feel a little bit impressed when he was not waiting for three days.
Not long ago, Cheng Chumo was the master who was reluctant to spit out even his bones.
The teeth are not generally good, and the chewing is rattling, which makes Li Gen panic when he listens to it.
"Brother Chumo, eat slowly, no one will rob you, when you go back, bring some for your uncle and aunt!"
"Uh-huh-hmm......"
Cheng Chumo's mouth was full of pieces of meat, and he could only make a hmm-huh sound.
Li Gen shook his head helplessly, so he had to continue to flip through the books.
"Seventh brother, the meat you made is delicious, I haven't eaten so full for a long time, it's so fucking comfortable."
Cheng Chumo stood up, his stomach was round and round.
"Brother Chumo, say it! What the hell is going on? ”
"Seventh brother, you let the people I sent to Jiangnan come back."
"All the acquisitions are, according to what the seventh brother said, new tea before and after the Qingming Festival."
When Li Gen heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
"Brother Chumo, how much new tea did you bring back?"
"Seventh brother, a total of fourteen carriages of new tea have been brought back, and each cart is full of sacks."
"My father asked me to ask you, where is this tea sent?"
"Let's all come here, I have worked hard today, and tomorrow our tea shop and tea house can officially start business."
"The workers are all right, right?"
Li Gen's biggest headache now is the problem of manpower.
"Seventh brother, no problem, my father said, how many people you want to give, I promise that you are obedient and honest."
Hearing this, Li Gen nodded reassuringly.
Cheng Yanjin's prestige and ability to do things are still trustworthy.
Cheng Chumo filled a food box with meat pieces, turned over on the horse with the food box, and patted the horse's back.
"Drive, drive, drive......"
Cheng Chu Mo rode his horse and hurried towards Chang'an City.
When he came back, Cheng Chumo was followed by fourteen carriages.
Li Yuan saw from a distance that something was wrong with the situation here.
Immediately walked over leisurely.
At the behest of Li Gen.
The ground was covered with cloth and straw mats.
A sack of fresh tea was poured onto the straw mat.
The rich smell of new tea instantly wafted over the manor.
Li Gen leaned down and grabbed a handful of new tea in his hand.
It's nice because the sack is breathable.
These tea leaves not only rot very little, but also are not very damp.
According to Li Gen's orders, everyone began to act.
Pick out all the insect-bitten and rotten tea leaves.
Chunmei and Chunlan are in charge of lighting the fire.
Under the gaze of Li Yuan and Cheng Chumo.
Li Gen performed the method of roasting tea for the first time.
After the iron pot was heated, Li Gen asked Chunmei and Chunlan to pay attention to the heat.
He poured a pot of selected tea directly into the iron pot.
At the beginning, Li Gen used a shovel and kept turning the shovel.
As the speed gets faster and faster, the aroma of tea becomes stronger and stronger.
Li Gen put his hand directly into the pot and kept pressing.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan and Cheng Chumo gasped together.
"Brother Chu Mo, hurry up and make a new cup of tea, you and grandpa have a good taste."
Li Gen took the fried tea leaves out of the pot and poured them all on the new table.
These teas, after the heat has faded, can be canned.
Li Yuan and Cheng Chumo rubbed their eyes vigorously.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
The fried tea leaves turned out to be bright and tender green.
"Grandpa, you taste it first, this tea leaves smell old and fragrant."
After Cheng Chumo brewed the tea, he diligently poured a cup for Li Yuan first.
Look at the green tea leaves, stretching out in the teacup.
Li Yuan felt like a dream.
This grandson of his own, who is the demon?
These skills are not done by man!
However, in the end, it is his own grandson, the greater his ability, the happier Li Yuan feels.
The chaotic thoughts in Li Yuan's heart, in an instant, were attacked by the strong fragrance overflowing, and the sweet tea in his throat disappeared.
"Good tea, good tea, really good tea!"
"Eldest grandson, I didn't expect the taste of this new tea to be so sweet and mellow, grandpa is old in this life, and he can be regarded as a blessing."
"Grandpa, drink more if it's delicious, you have at least one bowl of meat recently, drink more tea, clear away heat and dampness, and dredge the stomach."
Li Gen said with a smile.
"Okay, grandpa listens to the eldest grandson."
Li Yuan heard Li Gen say that drinking tea has so many benefits.
Naturally, I drank it more pleasantly.
