Wang's little lady

Zhao Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. This young lady from the Xie family is quite good at tinkering. Just now, she has come up with a new gadget.

He opened the paper package curiously, and a calm and natural fragrance hit him.

"Are these tea leaves? But why are they so small and delicate? Doesn't it taste like grass?"

Zhao Jinyuan was a little disgusted at first.

Although it smells good, with this emerald green color, I'm afraid the leaves were just rubbed together and delivered, right?

Achang explained patiently that he didn't quite believe it just now, but he had tasted it himself and it was indeed good.

"Thank you, Miss, for teaching me the brewing method. I just tried it once. It's really refreshing and sweet. Sir, would you like to try it?"

"You can just enter the water. The little one thinks it is quite simple. If the master and the master and his wife go out to quench their thirst, it is very convenient to carry and use."

Zhao Jinyuan still trusts the taste of the boy next to him, and he can just get into the water. Isn't that very labor-saving?

"We happen to be in the kitchen. In that case, Achang, let the kitchen people find out what you need, and we'll try the Xie family's new stuff here."

After Achang listened to the young master's instructions, he quickly went to prepare.

In fact, there is no need to prepare anything at all. Hot water is always ready in the kitchen. He can just find a larger tea cup.

Zhao Jinyuan watched Achang pick up a few tea leaves and put them into the cup. Then he poured hot water and brought it to him.

A Ping on the side felt that Achang was not thinking very well today. Didn't he just let the young master eat the leaves from the tree?

He secretly winked at Achang, but Achang seemed to be blind.

Forget it, even if he made a mistake, Achang probably wouldn't die.

Zhao Jinyuan also felt that Achang was a little abnormal today.

He didn't know for a moment whether he should blame Achang for being too bold and daring to fool him, or whether he should reflect on himself whether he was too ignorant?

"Is that all right?"

"Yes, son."

"you sure?"

"Sure, sir."

"No more seasoning?"

"No need, sir."

"..."

"Are you sure you're not fooling me?"

"Small dare not!"

Seeing Achang's serious face, Zhao Jinyuan felt that he would lose face if he asked any more questions, so why not just take a sip of leaf water?
If Achang dares to commit any of the following offenses, he will fine him one month's salary.

snort!
Zhao Jinyuan finally took the cup from Achang's hand, and it smelled quite fragrant.

After he tried to taste it, he couldn't help but pause.

There is indeed no green and astringent taste of leaves in the mouth. It is full of freshness and sweetness and is not heavy at all.

In hot weather like this, many people are prone to bitter summer and lose their appetite for things that are too greasy, so they always want to try something light.

This little lady from the Xie family is really awesome.

Zhao Jinyuan swallowed the whole cup of tea, then folded his fan and stood up.

"Achang, take Miss Xie to Madam's yard. Aping, pick up your things and follow me."

The stuff is good, so naturally I want to show it to my mother.Didn’t the Xie girl also have this idea?
What a good person I am!

"Yes, son."

When A Ping turned around, he looked at Achang with questioning eyes. Achang smiled proudly and went out to find Hongdou and the other two.

At this time, Hongdou and Xiaoya were tired of standing and were sitting on the steps to rest.

No one usually comes to this alley, otherwise it would be unsightly to see the two girls so lazy.

"Xiaoya, how do you think Shopkeeper Zhou will use this banquet to deal with us? Drugging our spices?"

Anko said to herself that it was very possible.

"To be on the safe side, let's go back later and take the prepared spices to Grandpa Sun for review, otherwise we will always feel uneasy."

There are a lot of people scheduled for tomorrow's banquet. If something goes wrong, even if she is framed, the Zhao family will still be angry with her family.

Xiaoya nodded heavily at Hongdou, indicating that she would also keep an eye on things at home.

Squeak.

It was the sound of the wooden door opening.

Hongdou and Xiaoya turned their heads and looked behind them at the same time. It was Achang's pleasing face, and their eyes lit up.

Achang didn't sell out either.The masters are all waiting in the courtyard. If they wait too long, it means that his servant is not doing things properly.

"Thank you, girl, please come with me." Achang stepped aside to give way and guided with one hand.

Hongdou and Xiaoya smiled at each other and walked in happily.

In Mrs. Zhao's courtyard.

Originally, Mrs. Zhao was reconfirming the matters for tomorrow with her eldest daughter-in-law. If Mrs. Zhao had no objections, there would be no changes.

Come tomorrow as you prepared in advance.

Just at this time, Zhao Jinyuan came.

"Mother, sister-in-law."

Although Zhao Jinyuan was a little careless on weekdays, he never forgot the etiquette.

Sister-in-law Guo also stood up with a smile and called her second brother.

"You're such a weirdo who knows how to be lazy and slippery, why are you here now?"

Mrs. Zhao was naturally happy to see her son, but she still pretended to be angry.

When Zhao Jinyuan came to Mrs. Zhao, he acted as if he were in his own yard. He put the tea leaves on the table, explained his purpose, and personally demonstrated the brewing process to the two of them.

"Mom, sister-in-law, how do you like it?"

The two of them looked at the extremely simple tea in front of them, with doubts in their eyes:

"Son, I've never seen you cook this before, and you didn't add any seasoning. Is it probably too raw?"

Mrs. Zhao said it rather reservedly, but it smelled quite fragrant.

Naturally, the two of them didn't think that Zhao Jinyuan would harm them, they were just worried that it would taste bad.

After all, it's my son's (second brother's) wish, so it's hard to show it too obviously.

"Second brother, I happen to have a set of tea-making tools, why don't I have someone bring them over and let my servants prepare them and serve them up?" Guo suggested with a smile.

Zhao Jinyuan naturally knew what they were thinking, and his reaction to Achang just now was really the same.

He covered his nose with a folding fan, coughed lightly, and said calmly:
"Mom, sister-in-law, think about the braised food, jelly, and ice powder before. Will I bring bad things into the house?"

There was a bit of pride in his voice.

As expected, if you want to eat well and drink well, you have to look at him.

Zhao Jinyuan's reputation for food is indeed good. In this case, the two of them stopped being hesitant and picked up the teacup and drank it.

After swallowing it in one gulp, the actual taste was really different from what they had imagined.

"Ah, second brother, this tastes really good. I haven't had much appetite these days, but I feel extremely comfortable drinking this."

"Mom, what do you think?"

Guo said with some surprise.

It tastes a little sweet, and paired with some snacks, it's perfect for a short nap every day.

Mrs. Zhao nodded to Mr. Guo with the same satisfaction, and then teased her son with a smile:

"That's all you can do."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered kindly.

Zhao Jinyuan didn't mind his mother's disapproval at all, he just thought his mother was praising him.

"Mom, please tell me that after dinner tomorrow, if tea and snacks like this are prepared in the garden behind, you and your sister-in-law, your wife and the girls will sit and chat.

how is it? "

"If the guests come early, you can also prepare a cup before meals, which can not only quench thirst but also clear the mouth."

Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

Tomorrow is her birthday banquet. Since there is a banquet, her master naturally hopes to be considerate in everything. If she brings out one more fresh and real thing, her face will also look good.

"Mom, this is a good idea. This tea tastes really fresh."

Guo immediately said to Zhao Jinyuan: "Second brother, you have a lot. I want to keep some for myself."

The ones on the table didn't even get one or two, I'm afraid it wasn't enough.

"Yes, if you don't have enough tea, you might be neglecting the guests, so you might as well keep it at home and drink it."

When Zhao Jinyuan saw that both of them liked him, the matter was settled:

"Don't worry, I've brought all the people who made this thing."

Then he said to the door: "Achang, please bring Miss Xie in."
