Rebirth Night Expedition Far River

Chapter 13

After a full meal, Dr. Zou let out a sigh of satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Wen Jiang again with satisfaction in his eyes.As for Xiaoan, let alone Xiaoan, the slap-sized face is full of 'I want to eat here from now on'. Yu Jianye and Yu Tong even praised Wen Jiang as a feeling of being recognized by others. It's really good, and Wen Jiang is also very happy.

Before leaving, I still don’t forget to bring the "Jiulixiang" carefully made by Dr. Zou and his apprentices. , Naturally, there must be a special name in order to attract more people's attention and make people impressive.

The moment the steamer was opened, a strong fragrance permeated the whole room. Seeing the fluffy pastry dotted with orange petals in Wen Jiang's hand, everyone felt their hearts melt, and Xiao An was even more like The puppy seemed to be circling around Wen Jiang, staring at the pastry in Wen Jiang's palm with big black eyes without blinking, Wen Jiang packed the pastry and handed it to him in a funny way: "Take it, if you like it, next time Seventh brother will do it for you."

"Thank you Brother Xiaoqi." Xiaoan took the box obediently, hugged it tightly in the eyes of the master who was staring at him, and responded with an innocent expression when he heard Dr. Zou's dissatisfied cold snort.

Make everyone else laugh.

Wen Jiang did not forget to tell him: "You can't eat it as a meal. If you eat too much, it's not good for your teeth." Seeing that Dr. Zou clearly wanted something, but he looked like an old child who couldn't shame himself to compete with his apprentice, he hurriedly said : "By the way, Doctor Zou, I don't know if you always know sweet-scented osmanthus tea?"

"What kind of tea?" Dr. Zou doesn't like much. In addition to teaching his apprentices to cure diseases and save people, he usually takes care of his little herbs. The other thing is good tea. Although he is in a remote place like Qingxi Village, Wen Jiang has noticed The tea he drank was all high-quality, so he didn't dare to underestimate Dr. Zou's identity and background. It's just that he didn't tell Yu Jianye and Yu Tong about these things. After all, Dr. Zou was willing to bring Xiaoan here together. He stayed there for more than ten years and never showed any signs of dew. He definitely didn't want to be disturbed by others, so Wen Jiang knew it in his heart. If someone found out and rushed to curry favor, it would be Dr. Zou's bad luck.

So when it came to tea, Dr. Zou's eyes lit up. Although he didn't believe that this young man who had never left Qingxi Village would have any good tea, but because he just ate the food made by others, he liked his own taste very much. , so it seems dubious and habitual to attack young people: "Qingxi Village does not produce tea, let alone Qingxi Village, even in the dozens of villages under Cangtong County, there is no one who grows tea. , don’t tell me you can’t do it?”

Wen Jiang shook his head, seeing that Dr. Zou's bright eyes instantly dimmed a little, he coughed and laughed, "Xiao Qi dare not claim to understand the way of tea, but just by chance, he just knew a thing or two. A few days ago in the mountains Seeing the luxuriant flowers and branches of Banshanxiang, and the strong aroma, I happened to think of one thing, that is, the tea made with Banshanxiang, although not as good as those good ones, still has its natural and unique features. I wonder if Dr. Zou would like to help the younger generation taste Yipin?"

Dr. Zou stared wide-eyed after listening to him, besides being surprised that Wen Jiang could even make tea, he felt more and more the changes in him. This child obviously grew up by himself, but when exactly? Know so many things?But now he is full of interest in what Wen Jiang said just now that Banshanxiang can also make tea, and he doesn't bother to think about why he suddenly used this same skill, so he said eagerly and secretly: "Those Needless to say about the others, if you really understand, then make some for me to see."

Wen Jiang had been paying attention to the other party's expression just now. He knew that his changes could never be hidden from anyone except Yu Jianye and his son. However, he didn't intend to let the people in the village notice immediately, so there may be some background, Dr. Zou, who is more knowledgeable than the villagers, was the first person he wanted to tell. Sure enough, although the other party had doubts for a moment, he disappeared in a flash, and he focused all his attention on what he said. It also made Wen Jiang heave a sigh of relief, and said with a slight smile: "That's natural, it's all my own messing around, I'm afraid you won't give advice to the younger generation."

"Hmm." Dr. Zou lifted his chin arrogantly: "Okay, today's lunch at noon will be considered as tuition fees, but if the old man is not satisfied, you will have to pay additional tuition fees."

Wen Jiang, who heard the implication of the other's words almost immediately, nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this junior understands."

"Well, I'll go back first." Before leaving, Dr. Zou told Yu Jianye some precautions again, and then left with Xiaoan. When he left, Wen Jiang could still hear him not forgetting to teach Xiaoan to eat less Jiulixiang .

Wen Jiang and Yu Tong looked at each other and laughed.

"Ah...Xiaoqi." Yu Jianye, who hadn't said much for a long time, called out hesitantly.

Wen Jiang quickly walked to him and stood still, leaning slightly: "What's wrong, Uncle?"

Yu Jianye seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Wen Jiang was not in a hurry. This rough and straightforward man held back for a long time, and finally chose to believe his nephew: "Doctor Zou, he is a good man, Xiaoqi, if there is anything you don't understand , you can tell him directly that your uncle and your brother are both rough people, and they can't help you much, as long as they don't hold you back."

Wen Jiang turned his head and glanced at Yu Tong, who was still full of trust and support for him as he remembered, with a warm heart, and his smile gradually widened: "Well! I know it all! But uncle, if you are slowing down, you will never Don't mention it anymore, we are a family, we should rely on each other and support each other, Xiao Qi will always rely on you and brother in the future, if you say that, I will think that you don't want Xiao Qi."

"Hey! You child, what are you talking about? You call me uncle, but in my uncle's heart, you and Ah Tong are both my sons. You are right. We are a family. In the future, uncle will never Don't say that kind of thing anymore, we want to live together and make life better and better! Shut up all those who look down on us!"

"What dad said is true! Xiao Qi, just tell me what you need brother to do in the future! Brother has absolutely nothing to say!" Yu Tong also expressed his position immediately.

Wen Jiang smiled and nodded heavily: "Well, let's go together!"

Let’s do it. After lunch, Wen Jiang and Yu Tong let Yu Jianye rest at home, and the two of them went to the mountains to pick half-mountain incense. Because Wen Jiang was making it for the first time, the picking volume was relatively large this time. He carried a bamboo basket and went up the mountain.

There is a lot of rain in the south in July. The latest rain lasted continuously for several days. Fortunately, the flowers of Banshanxiang have dried up. Wen Jiang collected them in jars and placed them properly, and went to the city with the same road I went to find Yu Huaisheng, the other party heard that Wenjiang was very interested in making tea, Wuchang provided a lot of tea, Wenjiang didn't dare to ask for high-quality tea for fear of wasting it, so he only picked some middle-grade tea, as for the money, Yu Huaisheng said generously, If the finished tea is good after it is made, according to Wen Jiang's statement, it can be regarded as his "investment" in it, and after the sales are made, his own income will be deducted from it.Wen Jiang stared at him for a long time with a half-smile, Yu Huaisheng stammered and said that the main reason is that he himself likes tea, and he was naturally interested when he heard about the new tea. As for the sale, if it is really good, who would not want to Earn some money, although he looks sloppy on the outside, he still has the arrogance of a scholar in his bones, and he consciously owes the Han family a lot, and if possible, he will naturally have to repay it, no matter how much.

Wen Jiang nodded to express his understanding, the two sides reached an agreement, so that after hearing this, Yu Tong showed unprecedented attention to the matter of tea making, even more than Wen Jiang, if he saw Wen Jiang slack off, he would be anxious He kept pushing from the sidelines, which made Wen Jiang dumbfounded.

However, Yu Jianye couldn't understand his son's mother-in-law. His eyes had begun to improve. After getting along with Wen Jiang these days, he realized more and more that this nephew had become more powerful. He had many ideas and strong opinions, and he wanted to do Things will definitely be done, so he never opened his mouth on the sidelines. Now that he sees his son nagging like this, but his nephew always smiles, he gets annoyed by his son, and finally hears it again one day. The son's trembling tone could no longer hold back and raised his foot and kicked over: "You boy! Xiaoqi doesn't want to argue with you, but you're acting like a big brother! If you're so idle, I'll get sacked to the ground." Go to work, don't pester Xiao Qi endlessly all day long, I'm getting callused ears!"

"Father!" Yu Tong hid aside aggrievedly and rubbed his legs.

"What are you doing?! Do you still dare to be wronged? Get lost! If I see you pestering Xiao Qi again, I will beat you up, believe it or not!"

"Understood, dad." Yu Tong returned nonchalantly, turned around and went out to the field obediently with a hoe on his shoulders. Before leaving, he saw his younger brother wink at him and smiled, so he also grinned foolishly.My younger brother won't bother me!The elder brother went to work contentedly.

Wen Jiang shook his head and couldn't stop laughing, and when the room quieted down, he concentrated on what he was doing.

After five days of this, Wen Jiang finally made new tea, looked at Yu Qi's expectant eyes and smiled and said, "Okay bro, please go and call Dr. Zou to come to our house."

"This is, alright?" Yu Tong stared suspiciously at the tea pot Wen Jiang was holding in both hands.

Wen Jiang nodded, and he was also a little nervous. After all, this was his first time making tea: "We'll have to let Dr. Zou taste it before we know."

Yu Tong hurried out to call Dr. Zou.

After a while, the voice has arrived before the person arrives.

Dr. Zou is over fifty years old, but the joy of being about to face his beloved is still like that of a teenager. Even Yu Tong is far behind him. Before entering the door, he heard him asking repeatedly: "Where is it? Where is it?" ? Hurry up and show it to the old man!"

Staring straight at the pot in Wen Jiang's hands, he almost tripped over the threshold, but fortunately Yu Tong caught up with him and helped him. Wen Jiang couldn't help laughing, and even Yu Jianye burst out laughing. Then Wen Jiang thought of something and hurriedly said: "Zou Don’t worry, let’s help my uncle look at his eyes first, he woke up this morning and said that he can see clearly, what other obstacles are there?”

Dr. Zou looked away from the jar with resentment, walked to Yu Jianye's side first, opened his eyelids and looked carefully, pressed the back of his head, felt his pulse again, nodded after thinking for a moment: "Well, it should be that the blood congestion in the brain has melted away, and now it looks like it's all right." He said again: "I still need to pay attention to it in the past few days, and tell me if you feel dizzy or other symptoms."

"Okay." Yu Jianye nodded, and smiled at his son and nephew who were looking at him with concern on his face: "It's really good now, alas, I've been suffocated these few days, okay okay Now, you two boys can't keep me in the house anymore, can you?"

Wen Jiang blinked and said, "That's impossible. Doctor Zou said just now that if you have dizzy symptoms, you need to see again."

"Hey! You brat!"

Yu Tong rubbed the back of his head and giggled, feeling extremely happy at this moment.

After watching Yu Jianye, Dr. Zou immediately turned his head back and stared at Wen Jiang with piercing eyes: "Where is the thing?"

Wen Jiang smiled calmly, and opened the jar in his hand. Dr. Zou hurriedly probed over to look at it. There were tea leaves that he had never seen before in the jar. good tea.Dr. Zou's eyes were wide open, and he wished he could bury his head in the jar.

During the Western Han Dynasty in China, there was already a tea market specializing in the sale of tea, and tea became a daily commodity. However, Wen Jiang learned from the conversation with Yu Huaisheng that although there were special places for tea production in the Dajing Dynasty, it was only in the There are only a few lands in one or two provinces in the south, and there are not many varieties, and the output is average. Most of them are used as tribute tea for the royal family and nobles. In the market, only the provinces have special stores to sell them. Most of them are rich people and elegant scholars, but no one among ordinary people will spend money to buy drinks.

Seeing Dr. Zou's impatient look, Wen Jiang hurriedly asked him to sit down. Under the attention of several people, there was no special tea set at home, so Wen Jiang followed the simplest method, directly grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them in the teapot In the middle, the spring water brought back from the mountain was boiled and poured into a teapot for steeping. After about 5 minutes, five teacups were taken out and placed in front of everyone.

Everyone stared at the teapot in his hand and slowly tilted it. The golden-yellow to reddish soup color was deep and bright, and the strong aroma filled the whole room. Dr. Zou carefully picked up the teacup, closed his eyes and smelled it lightly, the fragrance of the tea was clear Jun, taking a sip, I feel a slight sweetness on the tip of the tongue, the delicate tea fragrance flows between the teeth, slowly enters the throat, spreads to all parts of the body, and lasts for a long time.

After a while, Dr. Zou opened his eyes, staring at Wen Jiang with gleam in his eyes, and said in a firm tone, "Good tea!"

Wen Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you call this tea for?" Dr. Zou rolled his eyes, seeing Yu Jianye drank the whole cup of tea in one gulp, his complexion turned dark, annoyed and angry, but it was a pity that his heart ached, and he gave him a hard look , Yu Jianye felt that the taste of the tea was not bad, so he clicked his mouth, and his neck shrank in fright when he saw Dr. Zou's vicious gaze, and he grinned with a mouthful of teeth, savage and savage!

Amidst the scent of tea, Wen Jiang's eyes rolled, and he smiled slightly: "Hazy and half drunk."
