At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 68 Fried Tea
"Princess, there's no need to thank me. Why not give me something practical?" The Lord of the Underworld looked at Yu Yunxin with Mu Li, who was as bright as the moonlight in the dark night. Perhaps he liked the way she stood in the moonlight when he first saw her at the post station. Her clear eyes made him like her involuntarily.
"Then I wonder what kind of thank-you gift you would like?" Yu Yunxin asked, sizing them up, fearing that the other party would make excessive demands.
The Lord of the Underworld laughed when he heard this: "We are hungry after chasing all the way. Why don't you make us some midnight snacks, Princess?"
"Okay!" Yu Yunxin agreed readily.
"Qiushuang, let's go hunt some game to reward you guys." As he said this, he walked deeper into the woods.
"Wait a minute, if you want meat, I have some here." The Lord of the Underworld stopped Yun Xin and the others who were about to walk into the depths of the woods.
"Okay, let's go back and prepare." Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin took Qiu Shuang, Yun Shan and the other four people back. Unexpectedly, the people in the tower also came over with spears and crossbows.
After Yu Yunxin told everyone what happened in the woods, everyone was shocked. After returning home, they had a midnight snack, lit the lights and continued to work.
After seeing that everyone had had their midnight snack, Old Lady Lin and Cheng's three cousins-in-law asked them to go back to Yunmengxuan in Chayuan Village to rest.
Yu Tinghai was relieved and went back to sleep in the carriage. Yu Yunxin and her group were the only ones left by the fire. The Hades Lord and his group quickly brought two processed wild boars and left a few live wild boars. No one knew how they hunted the piglets.
There was also a bison and five deer. Yu Yunxin looked at the prey and walked to the Hades Lord who was sitting on the side and asked, "How did you hunt so many animals?"
The Lord of the Underworld smiled and said, "Give me those four mountain apes, and these things will be our exchange."
Yu Yunxin looked at the bound mountain apes. The masks on their faces had been taken off. Wearing those ghost masks was quite scary. Now those four didn't look scary at all. She said, "What do you want those mountain apes for?"
"Little Wolf can communicate with them. Now the Brown tribe has no ability to control the wild beasts here. I can let Little Wolf tame them." The Lord of the Underworld said without hiding anything.
"Okay! There's no point in keeping them and they can't speak human language, so just take them away!" Yu Yunxin said as she started to grill the venison skewered with smoked radish.
Yu Yunxin was going to make a big pot of braised wild boar meat. Beef? In addition to making a pot of beef offal in red soup, she took a few iron plates brought from the carriage and made fried steaks.
After the Lord of the Underworld and his companions each ate a piece of steak and a few skewers of grilled venison, they left quietly with the four mountain apes. In addition to the dozen wild boars left on the ground, there were also two deer and two cows. Yu Yunxin looked at them curiously. How could this be a wild buffalo? It was clearly a pregnant cow. Did they eat a bull last night?
"Princess, these two bison are so strange. Why are there white ones and black spots?" Yunshan asked as he looked at them curiously.
Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Bison? Have you ever seen a bison?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Qiu Shuang said, "My father never saw a wild buffalo when he went hunting in the mountains. He only heard that bulls seemed to be very fierce, but he didn't know about cows."
Yu Yunxin was speechless when she heard this and said, "Let's send these creatures to Chayuan Village at dawn."
After a hard night's work, it was dawn and the villagers who came to work came. Yu Yunxin sent the yamen runners to the town to sell some noodles and rice for those who came to work or were preparing to go back. They could eat some noodles or rice porridge so that they could be full before going to work or going back.
The villagers who came to work were very excited when they saw that there was breakfast.
"Princess, Lord Yu is so kind. I didn't expect that we could eat such delicious food!"
"Don't be polite, everyone. Our princess has been busy all night. After everyone has eaten, go back to work and replace the soldiers." Captain Li was very active in maintaining order.
Yu Tinghai looked at Yu Yunxin distressedly and said, "Xin'er, you guys should go back and rest!"
He took another look at the creature beside the carriage and asked curiously, "Is this the wild cow?"
Yu Yunxin was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she got back to the carriage. She slept until dusk, and when she looked at Yunmengxuan's room, she got up and stretched. When she came to the outside of the yard, Qiu Shuang, Yunshan and the other four got up earlier than her.
"Xin'er must have been very tired last night as you didn't sleep all night. I asked your aunt to make some corn and seafood porridge for you to try." Old Lady Lin looked at the lazy Yu Yunxin and comforted her.
Yu Yunxin came to the table and ate the corn and seafood porridge and praised Cheng.
"My aunt's cooking is really good. I want to eat more." Yu Yunxin said while eating porridge.
"Okay, I'll get you another bowl." Cheng said as she took Yu Yunxin's bowl and filled a bowl of golden and fragrant corn porridge from the cup beside her and handed it to Yu Yunxin with both hands.
"Thank you, aunt." Yu Yunxin took it and started drinking again.
The tea garden village is very beautiful under the setting sun after dusk. The deer, sheep and cows brought back in the morning were of different breeds, so the villagers working in the cattle farm rearranged them into separate and sturdy pens.
Now the villagers have built their own houses. They basically work in the tea gardens, sheep pens, or cattle pens. They never slack off and work until the sun sets before going home to cook for themselves and watch the smoke rising from the kitchen.
"Princess, you see, these teas can be picked and fried tomorrow." Yunshan said, looking at the rows of tea trees.
"Well, there shouldn't be anything over there at the tower. Let's go to the back mountain of Huashan Village tomorrow morning. There are a few wild tea plants on the mountain and we can pick them." Yu Yunxin said.
"Pick wild tea. Princess, you have tea from two tea gardens, so why do you choose wild tea?" Yunshan asked.
"You don't know this, right? Those few plants growing beside the pond on the mountain, with the mist rising up, are the best tea." Yu Yunxin said.
"Okay, let's go pick tea and make tea with the princess tomorrow." Qionglou said with a happy smile.
Early the next morning, Yu Yunxin asked Qiu Shuang, Yun Shan and others to carry a bamboo house and two iron pots for making tea. The high mountain cloud tea must be picked and fried immediately to preserve the tea fragrance.
Looking at the various flowers blooming all over the mountain, the fragrance filled her nose. Yu Yunxin was in a particularly good mood.
There are several wild peach trees and unknown flower trees on the mountain, and bees are buzzing in the air collecting nectar.
"Honey is the most fragrant when paired with tea. It would be great if we could find a few beehives." Yu Yunxin said as she looked at the flowers along the way.
"Princess, wait a moment, I will help you look for it." Qiu Shuang said.
"Qiushuang's bee can sting people, so you have to be careful!" Yanluo said.
"Then I'll look for it and make preparations for tomorrow, and dig down a few beehives." Qiu Shuang said curiously, staring at the bees on the tree.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they came to the pond, talking and laughing along the way. Looking at the wild tea trees with green buds, Yu Yunxin used her lightness skills to fly directly to the branches of the tea trees and began to pick the tender leaves.
Yunshan watched for the first time, and Yu Yunxin quickly picked half a basket of boxes, built a fire by the pond, and started making tea.
Making tea is complicated, but the tea leaves are fragrant. Put the tea leaves into a white porcelain jar and seal it tightly. Only then can the tea leaves be stored for a long time.
Qiu Shuang had seen Yu Yunxin make tea before but she was not interested, so she went to the middle of the mountain to look for honey.
Yunshan, Yanluo Qionglou and Haiwang each found a tree and started picking them.
Yu Yunxin was concentrating on making tea and didn't notice the changes around her. When she finished frying a pot, she noticed the presence of someone behind her. She turned around immediately, only to see the Lord of the Underworld wearing a wolf mask and smiling strangely.
"How did you get here?" Yu Yunxin looked at Yunshan and the other three and found that they were unconscious on the ground.
"Your people were not alert at all! They are fine, just unconscious." The Lord of the Underworld said to Yu Yunxin who was sweating while frying tea.
"You are making tea." He picked up a can of tea leaves on the ground, opened it and smelled the fragrant tea: "It smells so good, give me these cans of good tea!"
"How can you be so shameless? I only made these few jars, and there are only these few tea trees here." Yu Yunxin said angrily.
"I also like to drink tea, especially tea made by a beautiful woman like you, the princess. She has great craftsmanship." The Lord of the Underworld came to Yu Yunxin with a smile and spoke in a gentle voice.
"But I don't like giving it to you." Yu Yunxin said as she was about to grab it, but she was no match for the man opposite her. She missed and almost fell down. However, the Lord of the Underworld held the tea can in one hand and hugged her with the other.
"I can exchange something, how about that?" The Lord of the Underworld said and put Yu Yunxin on the stone beside the pond and let her sit down.
She took out an exquisite box and opened it to reveal a set of jewelry with sparkling pink gemstones.
"This set of jewelry is made of East China Sea pink crystal. It took me a long time to find it. Does it look good?" The Lord of the Underworld said as he took out a gold hairpin and a pink crystal. The edges of the crystal were inlaid with gold. There was a golden vermilion and a transparent pink crystal on the hairpin. The crystal was flawless. He wanted to give it to Yu Yunxin.
Yu Yunxin dodged by leaning over and said, "It looks good, but it won't be appropriate for me to wear it. Just leave it there and think of it as something I exchanged for tea leaves, okay?"
When the Lord of the Underworld heard this, he smiled and picked up the tea leaves on the ground. I don’t know how he could fit so many cans of tea in his pocket.
"Princess, you are too stingy to give me two jars of good stuff! I'll take all these." After saying that, he disappeared.
After watching the Lord of the Underworld leave, she collected the jewelry box on the stone and put it into her backpack.
He immediately woke up Yunshan and the other three, looked at them and asked, "Qionglou, don't you have good hearing? How come you didn't notice someone coming?"
"Princess, I noticed it and just when I was about to turn around, I fainted. Princess, are you okay? You are injured." Qionglou asked.
"I'm fine, give me the tea you picked!" said Yu Yunxin.
"Indeed, our kung fu is not good enough. It seems we need to practice more." Yunshan said as he patted the dust off his body.
"Okay, the other party is a master, I don't blame you. Is there anything you can find to remind me?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Oh! Does that thing have a nose more sensitive than a dog's?" Hai Wang said.
"Forget it, the tea belongs to someone else, let's stop talking and fry the tea!" Yu Yunxin said as she took out all the tea from the four people's backpacks and started frying it again. After filling up all the jars she brought and looking at the wild tea trees, she said, "We'll come back in two days."
"Princess, I found two beehives." Qiu Shuang walked towards Yu Yunxin with a basket full of beehives on her back, looking very happy.
"You just saw two beehives and wanted to find you, but somehow the two beehives fell down, so I ran away. I didn't dare to run towards you, but the bees didn't chase me but continued to collect honey. I went back to the original place and saw that there was no bee left in the beehive, so I picked up the two big beehives." Qiu Shuang said with a smile.
"Qiushuang, you are lucky! This beehive might be too big to stay on the tree, so both of them fell down together." Qionglou said.
Yu Yunxin thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, it couldn't be that he had done something good again! But she had no way to deal with him!
"Let's go down the mountain!" Yu Yunxin said.
When they arrived at the tea house in Huashan Village, Qiu Shuang and Hai Wang couldn't wait any longer and took a dozen large jars to fill them with honey.
Yu Yunxin looked at the remaining beeswax and said, "Don't throw away these honeycombs. You can make lip balm."
"Can the princess' lip balm be made of this thing? I don't think so." Chunyu looked at the small holes in the honeycomb and felt a little scared.
Yu Yunxin knew that Chunyu had intensive phobia and said with a smile: "Let's go to the valley behind the tea garden. There are many beautiful flowers there. Let's pick some first!"
Traditional lip balm, this kind of lip balm was sold in Yu Yunxin’s previous health club, and she can also make a very simple one.
Yunshan and the others were of course happy. They picked up their backpacks and started to go to the valley. In spring, all the flowers are in full bloom, and Yu Yunxin wanted to save the fragrance of the flowers in the valley until autumn before she could use them to practice.
Pink peach blossoms, bright red peonies, etc., and by the way, the butterflies in the bracelets were also released to let them collect more nectar.
"Princess, this place is so beautiful, no wonder it is called Huashan Village." Several people exclaimed as they looked at the bright flowers and butterflies.
Yu Yunxin took out the umbrella in her hand and looked at the butterflies flying in the sky. She remembered that modern umbrellas are made of light steel, while the umbrella in her hand is made of bamboo. Although this bamboo is of high-quality and tough bamboo, it is not as strong as steel!
She danced with the butterflies, using her umbrella as wings. She remembered several moves using umbrellas in martial arts movies. She moved with softness yet resilience. Women are naturally soft and resilient. Fortunately, this body has a foundation in martial arts. These difficult martial arts moves would take even martial arts stars a long time to learn. She practiced them among the flowers and butterflies like a madman. Sometimes an umbrella can be used as a weapon to kill people invisibly.
"Is the princess dancing or practicing kung fu? Every animal is so beautiful." Qiu Shuang exclaimed.
"The princess is practicing some moves. She should have figured out a move that uses an umbrella as a weapon." Yanluo said.
After that, all the flowers in the flower valley fell into Yu Yunxin's umbrella, and their colors were also sorted.
She took the six baskets and put the petals of different colors into the baskets of several people, and said with a smile: "We have finished picking the petals. Let's go back and make lip balm."
Looking at the five people who had just reacted, Yu Yunxin smiled and happily took the five people back to Huashan Village, carrying the flower baskets.
