Chapter 408 May They Feel the Fragrance of Tea

Zhang Ci smiled and asked him: "Have you found a place to plant sunflowers?"

"Find it, you can plant it on the slopes and at the foot of the mountain." Chen Zhongyan nodded and replied.

Chen Fan said: "If you stay for a few days and then go to your place, you will have to work hard to move things. How much people and things you take away and how much you keep will take your brains."

Chen Zhongyan thought it was very simple: "Just leave a few to guard the yard. I have a big place over there, and I also have land for you to farm."

Cao Dezheng has been promoted to the county magistrate, so he sent Zhang Erniu to send a message, saying that he will bring his family to visit tomorrow.

After seeing off Zhang Erniu, Chen Fan went to the kitchen to collect food.

Chen Zhongyan said with a smile: "It is said that people take tea to cool down, the eldest sister and brother-in-law are already white, and the whole journey is hot tea."

Zhang Ci raised his eyebrows: "We haven't left yet."

Chen Zhongyan restrained his expression: "If it was that kind of dangerous scene, what would you do?"

Zhang Ci smiled but not a smile: "You are a royal, you ask me?"

Chen Zhongyan: "..."

"You two talk so seriously, why bother?" Chen Fan came in with a bowl of lotus seed and lily soup, "Lao Qi, don't you sleep well every day? Look at your two big dark circles."

Chen Zhongyan looked at the bowl: "Just give it to me alone?"

"I give you peace of mind, I hope you don't have to worry about it." Chen Fan put the bowl in front of him.

After staying for two nights, Chen Fan and the others followed Chen Zhongyan to the Prince's Mansion.

"There is a small open space not far from my residence, less than ten acres, you can build a few houses. Don't even think about farming, just plant some flowers and plants." Chen Zhongyan pointed in one direction.

"Thank you Uncle Seven." The four little ones thanked in unison.

Chen Fan asked someone to sprinkle some sunflower seeds, and said: "It can be transplanted when it grows to seven inches high, and golden flowers will bloom in summer."

The loose and fertile land was also disinfected with plant ash and dried in the sun for a few days.Soak the lavender seeds, water the ground thoroughly, and start sowing.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "When the ground is golden and the eyes are full of romantic purple, you bring the prince and concubine to watch, it will feel very beautiful."

Chen Zhongyan smiled lightly: "It's even more beautiful when a loving couple like you and your brother-in-law come to watch."

Zhang Ci nodded: "We will definitely come and see it then."

Chen Fan followed Zhang Ci and the others through a long mountain road, and saw a vast and flat land in front of them.

This is the other side of the mountain!She finally stood on the land beyond the mountain!
"This is Qinglong Village." Chen Zhongyan led them into a house, "This yard is not big, it is enough for us to live in."

For houses in the cottage, there is no need to ask for a yard for each person, just choose a room to live in.

It was still dark, so everyone put their things in order and walked slowly in the village.Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, and some children played on the cement road.

"It looks quite peaceful." Chen Fan was very relieved.

"That is, how many bandits built cement roads?" Chen Zhongyan's tone was full of pride.

"There are a lot of bamboos in the forest here, and there is one more thing, which is what you have always wanted." Zhang Ci's tone was very mysterious.

"What is it?" Chen Fan wanted to know.

"It's getting late today, I'll tell you tomorrow."

Chen Zhongyan sneered: "You arranged for the saplings to be transported here, so what's the point?"

Zhang Ci rubbed the top of his head: "Can imagination be the same as what you see with your own eyes?"

Chen Zhongyan frowned: "Hair is messed up!"

The next day, they came to a hillside and saw rows of tea trees all over the mountain, and many people were picking tea in the mountains.

"Tea tree? Hoho, it looks like I imagined!" Chen Fan was ecstatic, "You planted it so well?"

"It's really not easy! Fortunately, there are some tea trees in Yuanfeng County. Those farmers know how to grow tea trees, but it is difficult to survive transplanting tea trees. Your tea trees are different from ordinary ones." Chen Zhongyan complained.

Chen Fan edited: "Thank you for your hard work. The wages did not treat them badly, did they?"

"You have to make it up to me, this is my mountain, I planted tea trees for you." Chen Zhongyan's arrogant look is very cute.

"All the profits from this tea mountain belong to you, is that okay?" Chen Fan looked at him.

"This is your tea mountain." Chen Zhongyan flicked his head, "Give me something else."

"Okay, there are a lot of bamboos over there, I'll make you a fan."

Chen Zhongyan looked disgusted: "What does a man look like waving a round fan?"

Chen Fan smiled: "Let me make tea for you." She missed the Mingqian tea, but she just caught up with the Yuqian tea.

The freshly picked tea leaves are placed on the stand, and the cook heats up the pot.Chen Fan put his hand over the heart of the pot to feel the temperature.Chen Zhongyan also tried: "The back of the hand is hot."

"It's ok." Chen Fan rubbed the oil evenly, threw a few buds into it, and there was a crackling sound immediately.

Pour the sprouts into the pot, stir fry quickly, Zhang Ci looked nervously at the pot: "Are you tight?"

"It's okay." Chen Fan said while stirring quickly, and a large amount of water vapor permeated the top of the pot.

Everyone is so hyped, but seeing their own people go into battle, it will hurt.

Chen Fan's movements turned into flipping, the water vapor decreased significantly, the cook cooperated very well, and the fire became a little smaller.

The tea was spread out to cool down, and Chen Fan said, "Let's all three make tea."

Chen Fan did it first, pushing and kneading on the chopping board, kneading together, Zhang Ci and Chen Zhongyan followed suit.The three people compared the kneaded tea leaves together, and they were all different.

Next is the drying process.Taking advantage of the time to evaporate the water, Chen Fan brought a few tea fryers to fry a few more pots of tea, and asked them to knead the tea according to her method.

"Let's make two batches of tea and see the effect."

When it came time to make shapes, Zhang Ci and Chen Zhongyan also tried according to their own ideas.

Chen Zhongyan put the tea into the jar and said excitedly: "This is the first time I roasted tea with my own hands!"

Zhang Ci said with a smile: "This is the tea that the Sixth Prince roasted himself."

Chen Zhongyan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter whether the prince is a prince or not, but since it comes to status, this tea can only be given to the father and mother. I won't give it to you, you have roasted a lot of tea."

Chen Fan smiled: "Filial piety is worth a thousand gold."

Chen Zhongyan glanced at Chen Fan: "The tea is ready, I can tell you that you can fry tea? How much have you learned?"

Chen Fan said: "My hometown is a tea town, there are many tea gardens, and the tea is very famous. The appearance of the tea mountains here is just like the tea gardens in my hometown. When it comes to picking tea, there are people all over the mountains and plains, some of whom are seven or eighty years old. The old lady is also picking tea."

Chen Fan sighed, and continued: "Many people will go to the tea garden to play, picking and frying a can of ordinary tea leaves. Many people can do that. I have a cousin who is an excellent tea maker. I learned how to make tea from him. It’s been ten years, and it’s been ten years since I left them.”

Zhang Ci and Chen Zhongyan were silent.

"I can finally see the garden in my hometown again, and I can make a batch of tea by myself." Chen Fan brewed a cup of tea and watched the tea leaves stretch, rise and fall in the water.

"Missing the living is a very troublesome thing. I can't spill wine and tea on the ground." Chen Fan raised his hand and sprinkled the tea into the sky: "I hope they can feel the fragrance of this tea."
