Wang's little lady

Chapter 94 Tea Making
If it could be sold, wouldn't they have another business?
"Yes, sister, what brother means is what we mean." Meng Er also refused.

Although Meng San felt a little distressed, it cost five cents per catty. If he picked ten catties, wouldn't it be fifty cents?
But since the elder brother said this, he must have his reasons, forget it:

"Yeah, it's not a big deal, just pick it up, it doesn't take any effort."

Seeing that several people really didn't want it, Hongdou didn't bother to argue anymore. She would just give it back when she had the chance.

Meng and the other three took off their outer clothes to pack the fresh leaves, and several people moved back and forth down the mountain several times before giving up.

But even so, when the fresh leaves are finally made into tea, the finished product is not much.

"Let's do this for now. When I make it, everyone can taste it first before talking."

Hongdou looked at the cart of fresh leaves with a satisfied look on his face, but everyone except grandma had to walk back.

Lu Moyu had just finished meeting Sun Youcai and was about to go home when he saw that the time was almost up.

Logically speaking, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, future generations should pay homage to their dead ancestors, but she is a harmonious person and a woman.

The tribe does not recognize her as a member of the Lu family, so they will naturally not let her worship their ancestors.

She simply stopped staying at home and annoying everyone.

Nanny Yin followed her into the carriage and reported back the news she had just received.

"Girl, something happened to the Sun family today."

Lu Moyu frowned slightly and signaled the nanny to continue talking.

"The talented young master has an eldest brother who is a half-brother. Today he is disowned by the Sun family."

Lu Moyu's face was full of surprise, how could it be?No child dares to break away from his biological father. If the news spreads, he will be stabbed in the back.

"Why? Today is the Ghost Festival." No matter what, we can't make such a big fuss with our family today, right?

Mrs. Yin told Lu Moyu everything she had learned, including what she had learned about Old Man Sun and Ms. Qian in the past few days.

"Girl, you really can't marry into the Sun family. Forget it if you are poor. You are not short of money anyway, but this couple is not easy to get along with."

"Let's not mention that Mrs. Qian is the stepmother. This father is a close relative, and he is so cruel to his own son. When I first heard this, I thought it was incredible."

"Furthermore, with these stains on the Sun family, if a talented young man continues to take the imperial examination, there is no guarantee that he will not..."

She said it quite implicitly, and only expressed her dissatisfaction with the old couple. In fact, in her opinion, Sun Youcai himself was the most hateful.

As a scholar, he is not young at all. Not only does he not help his family reduce the pressure, but he keeps sucking the blood of his parents and brothers and squandering it.

He is really not the lady's lover.

Lu Moyu leaned completely on the carriage seat and remained silent for a long time before saying:
"Nanny, if I stay at home for too long, my father and mother will be in trouble."

"Sun Youcai and I each get what we need. The more handles they have, the more comfortable I will be in the Sun family in the future."

Seeing that Mrs. Yin still wanted to say something, Lu Moyu took the lead in blocking her words:

"They are just interested in my money. After we get married, I will support them and make sure they have food and drink. As for the rest?"

Looking at the worried nanny, Lu Moyu patted her hand and comforted her:

"I've been married once, how could I be so stupid as to sacrifice everything I have to be a good wife?"

Wasn't the breakup kept quiet?After they get married, they will leave Shimen Town. As time goes by, things will naturally fade away.

She is not living for any man now, and it is not certain who will look like him when the time comes.

At this time, the fresh leaves in Xie's courtyard were already drying.

"Mom, grandma, let's use the new big iron pot we bought before to fry. The one we use every day is delicious."

Tea naturally absorbs odors, and if you use an old pot, the tea you make will be spoiled.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie also let her do whatever they wanted. Anyway, they were all things at home and it didn't take much trouble.

"Okay, should we fry in the kitchen or in the yard?"

There is a makeshift stove in the yard, which was built when the child's father was alive and has not been used a few times.

"Mom, I'll be frying it in the yard. Green tea is the simplest way to make it. You can try it first after it's done today."

Green tea is mainly consumed for its refreshing taste. Wild tea trees have a good growing environment and are richer in substances, so they will definitely be fragrant when fried.

"Okay, let's eat first. It's already past noon, and we should be hungry already." Mrs. Zhang and Brother Tuan had already prepared the meal, but the three of them never came back, and they all felt cold.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Xie talked proudly about everything that happened in Xinghua Village today:
"Those two old immortals have been completely dealt with this time. Arita and the others can live for themselves in the future."

"There are still two children who are getting married. Brother Tuan, let's help keep an eye on it. If there are any good girls or boys, we can also introduce them to them."

Without the burden of Old Man Sun and his family, although Fu Sheng and his family don't have much money now, they have stable income and will only get better in the future.

People who really live their lives will definitely look up to them.

As for Chrysanthemum, there is no need to worry. As long as a girl has no serious problems, she will definitely be able to get married.

Zhang naturally has no objection. It is a happy event to say that the parents are parents, and it is also a good thing if it is successful.

It just so happened that she was also preparing to settle the marriage matter after her daughter's filial piety.

You can't really be delayed because of your family.

"Mom, I understand. I'll stop by and ask Aunt Li tomorrow to see if she has any suitable ones."

There are also Meng Da and the three of them. Although it is a little more difficult for the time being, they can still explore first.

The only two elders of the Xie family talked about their marriage with great interest, and Hongdou didn't dare to interrupt at all.

It's a joke. If you interrupt, won't you get yourself into trouble?It seems that people who are married like to play matchmaker for others.

Let’s continue discussing my cousin’s family.

It was already evening when the fresh leaves had wilted, and Hongdou and Xiaoya set up a pot to light the fire together.

This step of finalizing is very important. If the final preparation is done too much or not enough, the final tea will not taste good.

So it was still up to Zhang to light the fire.

"Dou, you can easily burn your hands, so why don't you use a spatula?"

Seeing her granddaughter reaching into the pot to flip the fresh leaves, Mrs. Xie reminded her worriedly.

But if you use a spatula, you can't intuitively feel the changes in the fresh leaves. There's nothing you can do about it.

"Grandma, you won't be able to estimate accurately with a spatula, so it's most convenient to use your hands."

Granny Xie couldn't help it, and she didn't know how to do it, so she had to stand aside and watch carefully. After she learned how to do it, she could help fry it.

After a few minutes, the leaves in the pot are almost completed.

Hongdou placed the leaves on the prepared bamboo braid and began to press and knead them gently to shape them.

Finally, dry it and a green tea is ready.

"Is this enough? How to drink it?"

Mrs. Xie looked at the emerald green tea leaves in front of her, which were so fresh.Can't help but want to taste it.

"This green tea is the most convenient to brew. Just throw a few tea leaves in the bowl of warm water or clean mountain spring water after use."

Hongdou is also very satisfied with today's finished product. Naturally, what she made is not as good as the intangible cultural heritage master. After all, there are differences in the control of details such as temperature and technique.

But just looking at the finished product, it was a success.

Mrs. Zhang was also itchy, so she quickly went to the house to get a few bowls, prepared some warm water, and brewed it according to the method Hongdou just said.

"Mom, don't use too much water to make this tea, otherwise the astringency will be strong. Let me do it."

According to her previous habit of making tea, Hongdou carefully brewed a green tea for several people in the family to taste.

"Well, this is indeed very fresh. But it just smells like grass." Mrs. Xie took a sip and said honestly.

"Even so, it has a different flavor. It's very refreshing." Mrs. Zhang really liked it.

Xiaoya and Brother Tuan both felt that the smell of green vegetables was strong, and looked uncomfortable. Hongdou looked at it in amusement:

"This has just been made. If you let it sit for half a month, it will have no other flavor. By then, it will only be fresh."
