Chapter 251 Tea Harvest
Li Zhu picked and picked, and took out some betrothal gifts without the special royal logo, and prepared to sell them!
Where should I sell it?

In Fucheng, if she sells it, no one will dare to accept it. Everyone knows her, and the things she brought out are very valuable. At first glance, they are not owned by ordinary people. Naturally, they will think of the betrothal gift of His Majesty Xuan. .

Why don't you go with someone else? Who should you let go?Master?He definitely won't do it, besides, he has already returned to Songjiang County.

There is no master in the government office yet, and Li Mo only has a small assistant, that is the big girl. This little girl has not been in vain under Yang Danni's hands for the past few years, and all the accounts and information are clearly organized.

Looking at Liang Xu dangling in front of his eyes, Li Mo's eyes lit up, isn't this the best candidate!If he came forward, no one would dare to cheat him.

Liang Xu was stared at by Li Mo's wolf-like gaze. He felt chills all over his body and got goosebumps all over his body. He asked frightenedly, "Master Li, your gaze is very piercing. Did I do something wrong? Can you stop doing this?" Look at me!"

Li Mo showed Grandma Wolf's smile: "I have an important task for you."

Liang Xu rubbed the goose bumps on his hands: "Can I refuse?"

Li Mo turned his face in a second: "No!"

Liang Xu was very disturbed, thinking that what Li Mo told him must be related to these betrothal gifts, so he asked weakly, "What is the important task?"

Li Mo pointed with his hand: "See, this piece, sell it all!"

Liang Xu pinched his own people hard to prevent himself from falling down: "Why do you want to buy it?"

What is going to be sold now is not one or two, but a large piece, Mr. Li, do you know that these are royal treasures.

Li Mo said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense, of course it's for money."

Liang Xu boldly asked: "Master Li, are you short of money?"

Li Mo gave him a white look: "Liang Xu, why are you so young, your eyesight is not working well, didn't you see that I am poor written all over my body?"

Liang Xu looked at Li Mo seriously, and what he said made Li Mo very unhappy: "I don't think you have the words I'm poor written all over your body, but your eyes are flooded when you see these betrothal gifts. It emits a green light, just like a wolf seeing a sheep, wishing to sell all these betrothal gifts."

Li Mo took it for granted: "Since it is a dowry gift, it means that these things are all given to me. If they are given to me, they are my things. Don't I have the right to dispose of my things?"

Li Mo is not short of money, just their mother and daughter, who are very frugal, how much money can they spend.

But Yunning County is short of money. When it was taken over, the warehouse was basically emptied. Although some officials were arrested and some losses were recovered, Yunning County is so big that it needs to develop, not just talking about it. Take real action.

People in the village are opening up wasteland and need fertilizer, seeds, manpower and material resources.

Breeding requires investment, how to invest without money!

People in the city need support and guidance if they want to start a business.

Roads need to be repaired, people need to be recruited, and things need to be done.

These are inseparable from the support of money, how to do things without money.

Liang Xu hesitated for a moment: "I want to ask the prince about this!"

He really didn't dare to make a decision, he was afraid that the prince would kill him.

Li Mo rolled his eyes: "It's boring!"

Zhou's soon found out that Li Mo wanted to sell the dowry.

Mrs. Zhou hurried over with a small stick in her hand, looking aggressive, as if she wanted to beat Li Mo severely.

"Li Mo, get out of here."

Thunder was rolling in the sky, and a woman as gentle as the Zhou family could actually roar the Lion of the River East.

Li Mo's little heart was beating in fright, and he quickly walked out from the pile of betrothal gifts. : "Mom, who messed with you?"

Zhou put his hands on his hips: "Who else is there besides you?"

Li Mo looked at her inexplicably: "Mom, I've been here all this time, and I haven't gone anywhere, why did I mess with you?"

Mrs. Zhou raised the stick in her hand: "Let me ask you, are you going to sell these betrothal gifts?"

Li Mo gritted his back molars. It turned out to be Liang Xugao's black spot. This kid, I don't want to mess around anymore. Your surname is not Li if you don't beat me up!

Liang Xu, who was hiding not far away, suddenly felt that the air was a little colder. It's over, Mr. Li is angry, is there still time to run now?
Chun Fan pressed him down: "You idiot, the lord listens to Master Li. Isn't it disgusting that you go to sue Madam like this! It's a shame that you have been with Master Li for so long."

Liang Xu: "..."

Am I really doing something wrong?
Li Mo snatched the small stick from Mrs. Zhou's hand, folded it hard, and the stick split into two.

Zhou was so angry that she pointed at her: "Are you trying to piss me off?"

Li Mo said coquettishly: "Mom, how can I be willing to make you mad, I love you too late, just smile for ten years, don't frown all the time, it's easy to get old."

Mrs. Zhou doesn't like her, and if she doesn't care what she says, the sky will be pierced by her. This little girl is so mad at her!
"Who allowed you to sell these betrothal gifts?"

"Mother, look at what you said. Since these dowry gifts are all for me, why do others agree? I haven't broken the law. Besides, can it appreciate in value at home? The money must be used wisely, otherwise Don’t these betrothal gifts lose their value?”

In the end, Mrs. Zhou was persuaded by Li Mo and agreed to her selling a little, but only a little, and if there was more, she would be beaten.

Li Mo secretly thought: I have sold out the things, you don't even know, in order to deal with you, I will fill the boxes with stones, unless you open each box one by one, how could you know!

Liang Xu sent an urgent letter to Huangpuxuan for [-] miles, and soon there was a reply. Huangpuxuan not only supported Li Mo, but also allocated a part of funds from the national treasury to fully support the development of Yunning County.

He also took out 10 taels of silver notes from the palace to Li Mobang.

Liang Xu: "..." I am that redundant person.

...

This year is the fourth year of planting tea trees. Li Mo spent all his heart and soul on this. For these tea trees, he ran all the way to Luolai County, and ran into robbers on the way back!

Regrettably, Crazy Chen committed suicide. After returning to Luolai County from the capital, Crazy Chen rebuilt the graves of his parents, wife and children. On a sunny afternoon, he lay in front of the graves of his wife and children with a smile on his face.

His life has been too bitter, and the moment he left, he seemed to see his parents, wife and children coming to pick him up, and the whole family happily reunited in heaven.

The dark guard blamed himself very much, he just didn't look at it for a while, and then Crazy Chen left.

In fact, even if he looks at it, so what, he will never look down on a person who wants to die.

The quality of fried tea will affect the final quality of tea, so fried tea is very important, but no one in Songjiang County knows how to fry tea!
Everyone thinks that after the tea trees are planted, when the harvest season comes, the tea leaves are picked, dried like rice, and then packaged and sold to trading companies for sale!

In fact, from tea picking to sales, it is a very rigorous and hard work.

The tea of ​​this era is steamed to make tea cakes, but this kind of tea lacks the aroma of fried tea.

Everyone who stirs tea knows: "The first pot is full and the pot is spinning, the second pot is full of strength, and the third pot is drilled."

The pot is mainly used for killing greens. When the leaves are soft and dark green, they can be swept into the pot.

The green pot mainly plays the role of continuing to finish greening and preliminary kneading, and the pot temperature is slightly lower.

The cooked pot is mainly used to make thin tea sticks, and the pot temperature is even lower!
The entire process of frying tea is made by two people in a smooth special iron pot, shaking, belting, squeezing, throwing, straightening, stretching, buckling, grasping, pressing, and grinding.

People who don't have a certain amount of physical strength can't do this job at all.

There is still some time before Qingming, and the quality of Mingqian tea is better than that of Yuqian tea.

The tea leaves of Mingqian tea are more delicate and tender, with pekoe fully visible. After brewing, the taste is mellow and fresh, and its growth is relatively slow, so the content of aroma substances and taste substances will be relatively rich, so the quality is very good. It is considered to be a tea The best of the best.

Li Mo has been thinking about the tea in Songjiang County, and can't wait for a moment.

On this day, early in the morning, head straight to Songjiang County!
The first to come to Yejia Village, this village is the most cared for by Li Mo, there is no way, it is too close to the county, so I will go to them first if I need anything.

Li Mo has notified all the village chiefs in advance that she will teach each village to build pots and stoves for frying tea!
Village head Ye has already led the villagers of Yejia Village to wait at the entrance of the village.

"My lord! You are here." Village Chief Ye looked excited. He hadn't seen Li Mo for a long time. Li Mo now lives in the government office and the distance is far away. It is very difficult to see her.

"grown ups!"

"Princess Wangfei." Someone had already started shouting.

Li Mo: "?"

Li Mo smiled and looked at everyone kindly: "You are welcome, everything is ready?"

Crazy Chen taught them how to pick tea, and before leaving, he gave Li Mo books about tea trees.

Because now is the time to practice hands, the tea leaves picked are all old tea leaves, so as not to be wasted.

Li Mo took the clean tea leaves spread out to dry on the dustpan and brought them to the stove.

This stove is also new, and the surrounding area is very open. It is for the convenience of everyone to study. Each village has specially made a few such pots and stoves. After picking, you can gather here to fry tea, or you can take it home to fry.

Everyone was very curious and asked Li Mo, "My lord, what are you doing?"

Village head Ye was so frightened that he hurriedly said to Li Mo: "Your Excellency, just tell me what you want to cook, and we will do it."

This is the prefect, the future concubine, how could she let her do it herself.

Li Mo: "You don't understand, now I will teach, you come to learn, Chunfan, light the fire."

Chunfan doesn't mind being reduced to a cook who burns fire.

The water at the bottom of the pot evaporates quickly under the baking of the flame, and the temperature at the bottom of the pot gradually rises.

Li Mo felt the temperature not far from the bottom of the pot with his hands, and felt that the temperature was about the same, so he poured the green tea into the pot and started to stir fry, kneading while frying.

The villagers watched in horror, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, this pot is so hot, if you fry it with your hands, you won't get burned?"

Li Mo smiled and said, "Look, my hands didn't touch the bottom of the pot at all, they were all on the tea leaves, so it wasn't very hot."

In fact, it is relatively hot, but not to the point where it is unbearable or even scalded.

Don't look at the green tea that has been picked in a bamboo basket, but it can be fried, and it only takes a pot.

While frying, Li Mo explained to everyone, what is the effect of this, and how much temperature should be controlled within the appropriate temperature for frying tea!
Of course, there are no thermometers in this era, and it all depends on personal feelings. People who have been in the kitchen can generally understand what temperature Li Mo said.

After one pot, the fragrance of tea is everywhere.

Everyone sniffed hard: "Is this really our tea?"

Li Mo looked at the simple villagers and said jokingly, "Could it be that this basket of tea came out of a stone?"

When everyone heard this, they laughed loudly: "This is not a rock, it is tea from our Yejia Village."

Although this tea is old tea, but because it is picked neatly, the tea produced is quite beautiful. The most important thing is that the tea is very fragrant.

Village Chief Ye couldn't wait to bring over a pot of freshly boiled water!

Li Mo took the kettle, then poured a little boiling water into the cup, scalded the cup, poured out the water in the cup, put the tea into the cup, moistened the tea with a little hot water, and filled the cup to [-]% full!
Seeing the strand-shaped tea leaves slowly unfolding in the water, and the dense aroma getting stronger and stronger, Village Chief Ye couldn't help but put the cup to his lips, and took a sip gently.

"How?" Everyone asked with concern!

Village Chief Ye had no time to comment, so he couldn't help but took two more sips, tasting it leisurely!

"Village chief, you should say something." The impatient person couldn't wait.

Someone saw Village Chief Ye's unhurried manner, and wanted to step up and beat him: "Village Chief, are you stupid?"

In fact, what I want to say more is whether you have a neuropathy, a cup of tea is just like some fine wine!
After a long time, Village Chief Ye finally spoke: "It's delicious."

Li Mo shook his head: "Mr. Ye, this tea is far from delicious."

The freshly made tea will have a "fire", and it needs to be left for a period of time before drinking, so that the taste will be more mellow and delicious.

Also, this tea is not a tender bud, so it is not good to drink at all.

But, who cares, this is the tea from my own hard work, even if it tastes good, it tastes good.

Li Mo said loudly: "Attention everyone, there is still some time before tea picking, you must use this time to practice well, if the tea is not fried well, it will directly affect the quality, which means it will affect your income."

It was only then that everyone realized, yes, what is the purpose of planting tea trees, isn’t it just for money? After several years, we must not lose the chain at the most critical moment.

So, everyone learned very hard.

But how to put it, stir-frying tea is the same as stir-frying vegetables, it is all about talent, some things do not mean that you can do well if you work hard.

Some villagers became anxious and almost cried: "What should I do? What should I do? I just can't learn."

Li Mo smiled and said, "No, it doesn't matter. You can sell the tea directly to the trading company. The trading company has a dedicated roaster, but the price will be a little cheaper than roasted tea."

This is the method that Li Mo came up with just now. After all, no one is perfect, and a group of masters must be trained to specialize in tea frying, otherwise the blood and sweat of the villagers will be in vain.

"A bay of spring breeze reflects the snowy sinus, and a hundred miles of spring breeze floats in the air"

It is talking about the grand occasion of the tea mountain, the tea shops that look like long dragons, looking from a distance, they are like layers of green waves, emerald green;

Looking closely, the emerald green leaves are green and shiny in the sun, tender and attractive.Gently pick it up, and the buds and leaves will quietly fall into your hands.

Look at those tea-picking girls again, their hands are rising and falling like a dragonfly touching water, and like a chicken pecking at food, their movements are elegant and skillful!
Seeing this scene, Li Mo couldn't help but think of "The Love Song of Tea Mountain".

The beautiful appearance of the sister in Chashan
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pretty
Ten fingers are busy picking tea

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh busy tea picking
attract butterflies

...

Li Mo only sang it twice, and the girls actually learned it all. Now the sky above the tea mountain, the singing is melodious, and there is a scene of a bumper harvest.
