idle king

Chapter 73 New plan
To say that the most ancient drink in the world, except for tea, there is nothing that dares to be the first!Chinese people have a unique understanding and pursuit of tea culture, and even the so-called herbal tea beverages in later generations originated from this.

"How many of you have here, I want them all!" Ye Yu waved his big hand, which was called a high-spirited one, and that was called an inhumane one.And with that expression, he looked like a coal boss who brought Xiaosan into a jewelry store.

"Master, these tea medicines are of no use to the master's injury." Seeing his master's profligacy, Liu Wang smirked and reminded in a low voice.

Nowadays, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of the uses of tea are used in medicine, and only a few people make it into tea cakes and drinks for daily drinking.

And tea cakes are different from those of later generations. Today's tea tastes more like a hodgepodge of soup in a hot pot restaurant, and many other condiments are even added.

All in all, the tea in the Great Zhou Dynasty may have any flavor except fragrance...

Since Ye Yu didn't like drinking tea very much in his previous life, and his sales were almost all dealing with wine.Therefore, during the time he traveled here, he really didn't think about tea.

"Young Master, I am naturally useful." Ye Yu rolled his eyes, ignored this honest guy who was a bit careless, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked again, "Are there any freshly picked and dried tea leaves?"

Although the old man didn't know what the young man in front of him wanted, the tea leaves were really not very valuable, so he didn't think too much about it, and said, "This drawer is full of tea leaves that were picked and dried recently. There are still a lot of them in the back hall warehouse." The buds and new leaves of the tea tree picked yesterday have not had time to be taken out to dry."

"Snapped"

Ye Chu snapped his fingers.

"Then let's talk about the price."

"Hehe, since this young master wants all of them, I'll give you a discount. Well, there are about one hundred catties here, so it's only five hundred Wen. I will give these to you free of charge, just as a friend." .” The old man said with a smile, his face also looked like you took advantage of it.

Hearing this, Ye Chu curled his lips secretly, this old guy knows how to do business.

As far as he knew, although these tea leaves were said to be Chinese herbal medicines, most of them were used as auxiliary medicines.To put it another way, the tea leaves are almost added to other herbal medicines, purely as a gift, more of it is not much, and less of it has no effect.

"Deal!" Ye You didn't want to waste any more words and agreed directly, "Xiaochan, pay and let's go."

Of course, Ye Chu couldn't carry a hundred catties of tea leaves, but luckily Liu Wang was there, but before he could divide them into two parts, Liu Wang took the lead, so he lightly lifted them and put them on his back. With a whoosh, he rushed out for a long time, and Ye Chu was taken aback for a while.

Thinking that Huichun Hall was only a few steps away from Ye Mansion, Ye Chu didn't put on a show.

Along the way, Xiaochan pouted at first, but seeing her young master walking lightly and smiling, she couldn't help but feel happy.In her heart, as long as the young master is happy, she will feel happy.

"Hey, the young master will do a magic trick for you tonight."

Seeing the little girl bouncing around behind him, Ye Chu petted the little girl's hair, feeling very mysterious.

"What magic?" Xiaochan blinked and asked.

"Look at the thing in the young master's hand, it will become a very delicious drink." Ye Yu shook the dry tea in his hand.

After hearing the young master's words, Xiao Chan's eyes lit up, "Is it sweet?"

Alas, the little girl likes to eat sweets.

Ye Yu felt defeated when he heard the words.You should at least show that you are looking forward to it...

How should I say this, Huyou?Forget it, anyway, the night time will come out.

"you guess."

"Hmph, if you don't guess, the young master will know how to lie to Xiao Chan."

While Ye Chu was playing with Xiao Chan here, there was someone in the Qin Mansion who was also playing.It was Qin Hong, the third master of Qin who had just returned to the mansion.

Because Steward Zhang said that his two little nephews had returned, he rushed back immediately.

However, as soon as they got home, they searched around but couldn't find anyone. In the end, they were told by their niece Qin Wanqing that it was still too early to get home.

Ever since, Qin Hong became angry. Without saying a word, he picked up a small wooden stick on the ground, and chased butler Zhang, who had lied about the military situation, and beat him indiscriminately.Fortunately, he was stopped by his niece.

Because Qin Hong and his two older brothers are too different in age, he basically played with his nephew until he was a child.It wasn't until they grew up that the nephews followed his second brother to other places, and then they separated.Counting it, it's been almost a few years since I saw each other.

It was also because of this that after hearing Steward Zhang say that they were coming back, they immediately ran back without looking back.

Butler Zhang Chao, who was bending over at the moment, had a look of innocence and sadness on his face. The feeling of indescribable suffering was really sour.

He is the steward of the foreign affairs of the Qin mansion, and together with Feng Jian, the housekeeper of the inner mansion, he takes care of various internal and external affairs of the Qin mansion.And this matter was directly transmitted to the inner mansion through letters, and he didn't know the details at all.

And Zhang Chao just acted as a messenger, so he naturally had to say what the old man asked him to say.

But what makes him a little strange is that since the old man ordered it, why is he sitting in the high hall at this moment, closing his eyes and ignoring it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly looked at Feng Jian above again.It was Feng Jian's own nephew who came to pass a message to him just now.Could it be that……

"Hmph, a servant dares to lie to the master, that's fine. Today I must be good..."

Seeing Zhang Chao whose face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain, Qin Hong was about to make another move when he was suddenly interrupted by the old man above him.

"Hong'er, don't mess around. Dad told him to say that." Mr. Qin opened his eyes, his gaze swept over Feng Jian's face in a subtle way, and then said lightly, "Get up tomorrow morning, and you go to the bank of the Qinhuai River to pick him up." Yan'er and his mother. Your second brother will not be able to come back until the next day."

Hearing what the old man said, Qin Hong gave Steward Zhang a hard look, and then gave up.

The old man knows that he has a close relationship with his nephew.Even if you want him to go home, you don't need to say that.Besides, the old man has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and is fair in dealing with matters. He will never show such obvious favor to Zhang Chao in public. Therefore, Qin Hong has already noticed that something is wrong.

Otherwise, if he dared to make fun of himself and his nephew, he would not give up easily.

Ye Fu.

Back at the mansion, Ye Chu first went to check on his father's injuries, and after finding out that there was no serious problem, he felt relieved.

After a simple dinner, Ye Zu started to process the tea leaves.

Although the tea leaves weighed one hundred catties, Ye Yu knew in his heart that these were freshly picked and there was too much water in them. Once they were dried and roasted, they would weigh ten catties, which is not bad.

At that time, he would have to bring some to attend the family banquet of the Qin Mansion, and if Prince Ning's Mansion would give some more, he would not have much left.

It seems that the construction of the new workshop is urgent.

After all, a person's power is limited after all, and only by increasing manpower can we expand productivity.
