Qinghe Pastoral

In the blink of an eye, it's April, and I don't know when it started. There is a wild rumor in Jing'an County that there is a rare flower sea in Qinghe Village, which attracts wives and ladies from wealthy families in Jing'an County.The sea of ​​flowers in Dibanpo often attracts people to stop, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

And there are many rich and noble families waiting for scented tea to come out, and the finished product has already become famous before it is released.

Before picking scented tea, Xiao Jue brought two women to Qinghe Village. This was what his workshop had learned in Wumeng, and it just came in handy at this time.

According to the Wumeng people's method, making scented tea is a very simple matter, but the garden is really too big, and it will take time to complete the entire flower field.

Although there were many things in the garden in the past two days, Ji Ruixiu didn't need to worry too much.It's spring, Bai Junyan has been thinking about going up the mountain for a day or two, and it just so happens that he went up the mountain with Ji Ruixiu today.

When they came back in the afternoon, before entering the room, there was a burst of fragrance. As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Lin Mu standing by the hanging stove, and the fragrance came from here.

"What is this?"

"Oh, it's because I thought that Qiyan Guohua is so sweet, it must be delicious if made into desserts, that's why I asked my aunt to teach me to use the hanging stove. Smell it, it smells delicious."

Lin Mu's thoughts at the time were actually very simple. He was thinking about sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and lotus flower cakes, so how could he not make wonderful fruit flower cakes?Then I talked about this matter with the cook of Ji's family, and the two of them tried it a few times, smelling the fragrance that wafted out at this time, the taste must be unmistakable.

The two also had great expectations for the cakes made by Lin Mu. After two cups of tea, the cakes made of this wonderful fruit flower came out of the pot.

When the hanging stove was opened, the sweet smell was even stronger. Lin Mu couldn't wait to taste it. He didn't know how to describe the taste. He only knew it was delicious, and he had never eaten such a delicious pastry. .

"It's delicious, try it quickly."

Seeing Lin Mu like this, several people couldn't wait to taste it.

Ji Ruixiu has always disliked these candies and pastries, but the ones made of flowers are less sweet and more fragrant, and they really have a different taste.

"It's really good. It's also a way to make pastries and sell them."

A small box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in Jing'an County's "Jueweifang" costs nearly one tael of silver. Of course, this is a business for the rich, but Jing'an County does not lack rich people at all.

"That's right. Our materials are expensive, and the taste is even better. The packaging is more delicate. It's not an exaggeration to make a coming-of-age gift."

Xiao Jue is also a person with extreme appetite, he will not even look at the food if it is not delicious. Now, to be praised by him shows how good the pastry tastes.

"Now Yangliu Yiyi, we can weave willow branches into fine snack boxes and sell them, but these things are more likely to be sold to rich people, so we need to consider it."

"I think we can use brightly colored silk thread and willow branches to weave together, which is fine and beautiful."

Sweets and cakes have always been loved by women and there is no shortage of rich people in Jing'an County. The willow branches and silk threads are generous and delicate, and they will surely capture the hearts of those rich people.

"Mu'er is a good idea. We need to find someone with fine craftsmanship. If it is the same as the usual food box, there is nothing new."

"My Uncle Xu Qin is good at craftsmanship, he made many of Chen'er's gadgets."

"Well, let uncle try it."

The so-called making money together, now, Lin Mu's family lives well, but Xu Qin is a stubborn person, even if Xu Xiuqin gave it to him, he might not take it back, and now he is invited to do this, there is a reason .Besides, Xu Qin's craftsmanship is really good. In such a matter, Lin Mu would not cheat public affairs for personal gain.

On the second day, Xu Qin was picked up. He really had some ingenuity. In his hands, ordinary wicker and silk thread were used to make an exquisite and small food box.

Now that they have decided to make part of the cakes, the workmanship and sales are also a matter of consideration. After the scented tea has been sold for a few days, the "Yan Hua Cake" that Ji's family has been promoting for many days is only sold in Jing'an County.

With the previous preheating and the popularity of scented tea, the pastry was sold out on the first day it was launched.

Not to mention Jing'an County, even Dayu Dynasty is the only one with this item, and the price is so high that ordinary people are discouraged, but even so, wealthy people flock to it.Such a great reputation has directly turned the rest of the pastries in Jing'an County into decorations.

Cakes, unlike scented tea, can be kept for a long time, and they are only available for a month or two. The supply in Jing'an County is in short supply, so they are not sold elsewhere.

And the Qiyan fruit scented tea sold everywhere by Wei Qian's family's caravan has become something that the rich and powerful in Dayu's court flock to. .

In May, Qinghe Village was even busier, and all the Qiyan fruit flowers had been made into pastries or scented tea, but no matter which one was looted.

Lin Mu looked at the profits brought by the Wonderful Fruit Flowers this month, and couldn't help but be speechless. This is simply too huge a profit. This season's Wonderful Fruit Flowers almost earned back all the money Ji Ruixiu invested in the garden.

"My God, this season's flowers have such an income. If it bears fruit in the future, won't it be more profitable?"

Things in the world emphasize that things are rare and expensive, but even so, such a high profit is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Although Lin Mu has never tasted this strange fruit, but the petals are so sweet, one can imagine how delicious the fruit will be.Let's listen to Ji Ruixiu's point of view, this thing is considered a treasure in Wumeng, so how can it be looted in the Dayu Dynasty?

Don't look at Ji Ruixiu who only opened a few shops, but what he does is a very profitable business, which shows his ingenious mind and vicious vision.

"Okay, don't look at it, it hurts your eyes."

To Ji Ruixiu, money is nothing more than an ordinary thing, more or less just dead things placed there, but seeing Lin Mu's money-obsessed appearance makes him feel a little funny.

Ji Ruixiu closed the account book in Lin Mu's hand, picked him up and walked to the bed. Lin Mu had long been used to it, and let Ji Ruixiu hold him. When the candle went out, it was another night full of sweet dreams.

Today's Qinghe Village has entered the rainy season, and there is always the sound of pattering rain outside the house at night. Lin Mu is not asleep yet, but there are noisy sounds outside the house.

"what happened?"

"Lie down, I'll go out and have a look."

Ji Ruixiu relit the extinguished candle, and suddenly, the room was lit up again, making Lin Mu dazzled for a while.

Ji Ruixiu put on his clothes and went outside, but saw Lin Sheng was in a hurry to go out.

"What happened?"

Ji Ruixiu saw a few people going out in the rainy night with oil-paper umbrellas, and saw Lin Sheng so anxious, thinking that something serious must have happened.

"It's Grandpa Lin who has gone, and my father asked me to come pick up Uncle Lin Sheng."

It was the eldest son of the boss of Lin Wei's family who spoke. He seemed to come here in a hurry, and there were even raindrops on his face.

In fact, this was not a sudden incident. Since last year, Lin Cai's health has been failing. Coupled with a serious illness at the beginning of the year, he has long been unable to get out of bed.

"Ruixiu, go back to your room and sleep first, and bring Mu'er to burn incense tomorrow morning."

Logically speaking, Lin Mu has grown up, so he should go with him in such a scene, but firstly, Lin Mu is not from the Lin family, and secondly, the two have never had any feelings for each other, so Lin Sheng would not call Lin Mu together. went.

After Lin Sheng finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and was supported by the grandson of Lin Wei's family to leave. At this moment, in the rainy night, his lame legs looked so unsightly.

When Ji Ruixiu returned to the house, he saw Lin Mu sitting on the bed in a daze, without even noticing that he came in.

"Why did you get up?"

"Well, what's the matter, what happened?"

"It was the old man who went, and your father went to the second room, which caused the commotion."

Lin Mu seemed to be frightened, but stared at Ji Ruixiu in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

"Then, then I..."

In fact, this had already been foreshadowed, and Lin Mu realized it after a while, but at this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was whether he should follow?

Speaking of which, since Lin Mu entered the Lin family, Lin Cai treated him as usual. The two of them could not be said to be friendly, nor could they be said to be close. They were more like familiar strangers.

Lin Cai is the person with the best face and the most fear of trouble. He doesn't look at, ask, or care about many things. Lin Mu never thinks more about him.

If one day, when he gets old, he may think of Liu Guilian's bitterness, and even then he will still hate her, but Lin Cai, he can't think of anything.For a person, there is no hatred, no love, no sympathy, but this person actually appears in his life.Thinking about it this way is a bit ridiculous and embarrassing.

If the time was one or two years ago, when the first room and the second room were estranged, Lin Mu would not have worried too much about this matter, but it was the most normal thing of birth, old age, sickness and death.

But now, with Lin Xue's change, the two families have gradually settled down, and even Xu Xiuqin's frequency of going to and from the second room has increased.Regardless of whether Lin Cai and him have a relationship between grandson and grandson, when Lin Sheng lost his father, he felt that he could not know what happened and pretend that it had nothing to do with him. Others would only feel pitiful and helpless when looking at Lin Sheng.

"If you want to go, let's go."

Seeing Lin Mu's pensive look, Ji Ruixiu said, in fact, this matter doesn't need to be so complicated.Even if Lin Cai is not Lin Mu's nominal grandfather, from a village, it is normal for a person to visit after death.

Moreover, Lin Mu has always been on good terms with Lin Zian, and he is also worried about Lin Sheng in his heart, so Ji Ruixiu doesn't want to see Lin Mu worrying about such things.

"Well, let's go, just to send an old man who has gone."

Lin Mu made a decision, and the two of them didn't delay any longer. Before going out, Lin Mu went to the house of Lin Sheng and his wife. The room was bright and Xu Xiuqin couldn't sleep.

"Mother, Xiu and I will go to the second room to have a look, you should go to bed early."

There was a sound of footsteps in the room, and after a while, Xu Xiuqin opened the door, her expression was as usual, it seemed that this matter did not affect her.

"Go, you have to put on the coir raincoat, don't get caught in the rain, and advise your father, don't let him be too sad."

Lin Mu listened to Xu Xiuqin's words, and the two put on coir raincoats, held oil-paper umbrellas, and went to the old house.
