Chapter 283 Wandering
Dongping did not need Yan Jiasheng, the servant and the old family to do it. They quickly moved the stool and made tea with the tea and tea sets they brought with them. Liu Xiuyun was more interested in the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and did not sit down. He just looked around to see those plants with elegant and unique postures or grasses or flowers. Li Xiaoyao and the Yan family After chatting for half an hour, Su Zicheng shook the folding fan and did not interrupt. He took the tea and listened to the two people talking about tea.
Yan Jiasheng's eyebrows are flying. This hobby is the same, which is really amazing. Yan Jiasheng's love has simply become an idiot! Li Xiaoyao only threw out one, but it was up to Yan Jiasheng to choose a place and take care of the tea mountain with his heart. He would never care about it, but before he could grow the best tea in ten years, Yan Jiasheng had agreed and didn't think of the wages at all. He only stared at Li Xiaoyao and asked her to promise not to intervene. Li Xiao Yao smiled and simply said nothing more. He only made an appointment with him tomorrow to ask Zhang Zhongyi, the stew manager, to come and talk to him in detail.
Li Xiaoyao and Su Zicheng went out of the door. Yan Jiasheng sent them all the way out of the door and suddenly remembered that they had followed an owner, but who the owner had not asked yet. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled and did not answer. Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered what Su Zicheng had just said that he was a 'in-law' and replied with a smile: " My surname is Li. Because of Xingwu, I often walk around outside. They all call me the fifth master. Although Yan Jiasheng was obsessed with growing tea, he was a smart man. He was stunned and turned his head to look at Su Zicheng. Su Zicheng arched his hand and smiled, "My surname is Su."
Yan Jiasheng couldn't believe it for a moment, and was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were soft. Su Zicheng quickly stretched out his hand to hold him and smiled and said, "Sir, you don't have to do that. Mr. Xiao Wumu has long told me that he would come to visit Mr. Because of his busy customs, he didn't come until today. Xiao Wu and I love tea and I will drink good tea in the future, but I will ask for him here. " Yan Jiasheng blushed. Hearing Su Zicheng talk about his love for tea, he suddenly turned around and ran to the yard. In the blink of an eye, he ran out again with a small fine porcelain tea pot and raised the tea pot in front of Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao and offered treasure: "Your Majesty, Fifth Master, this is the best tea in Yishan Farm this year. There is only more than one catty. The prince will definitely not drink it. It's definitely good tea!"
Su Zicheng was stunned. Li Xiaoyao laughed. While smiling, he pointed to Yan Jiasheng and said, "I don't care about what tea you drink. In the future, I want!" Yan Jiasheng looked at Li Xiaoyao shyly, rubbed both sides of the long shirt with both hands, and smiled shyly and said, "Don't worry, fifth master, don't worry! It is said that the fifth master is shrewd. Yan Jiasheng said that it was not suitable. He quickly turned to Su Zicheng and said, "No, it is said that the prince is a virtuous virtuous virtuous sergeant. It's really true." Su Zicheng patted Yan Jiasheng with a folding fan and said with a smile, "It's your blessing to be able to work with Xiao Wu. Just grow tea with your heart in the future." Yan Jiasheng almost agreed and sent them far away.
Turning around, Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at the tea can in Beiqing's hand and smiled, "Go back to taste this tea, and you will know what the best tea on Huainan Road is."
The best tea? Isn't there a lot in other courtyards? They are all tributes. Su Zicheng smiled disapprovingly. Li Xiaoyao looked at him and didn't say anything. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao with a smile and said, "Don't play dumb puzzles with me. What's going on?"
"Here are the rules of the little officials. Just listen, but don't lose your temper." Li Xiaoyao warned first, and then explained with a smile, "It's not just like tea. This tribute must be done by the current management in advance. Choose the best or bless yourself, or keep it as a gift, and then save it for your boss. As for your boss, you will naturally keep some of these, and then give them to them. Si, and I don't know who, have to be sent to the capital all the way. For example, after this year's festival, I was given a small basket of truffle fungus. In this way, if the amount of tribute is ten catties, it will cost at least 100 catties along the way. These gifts are better than tributes.
Su Zicheng's eyebrows stood up little by little, and Li Xiaoyao hurriedly warned him: "I said I wouldn't lose my temper!" Su Zicheng's teeth were stuffy. Li Xiaoyao looked at him and smiled and said, "For example, in this Yishan teahouse, it is customary to pay tribute before Ming, but it's good to pay tribute before the rain. The best tea is in that jar. Speaking of which, it can't be all their fault. If you think about it, just say that the tea is good. No one can say how much tea can be harvested every year and what the quality is. If you catch up with the extremely cold of early spring, you may not be able to pick a few taels of tea before tomorrow. If you catch up with the small disaster that is not enough to report, you can't say anything. If you make the best tea as a tribute, The quality of this tribute must be better and worse year by year. Suddenly, it goes up and down, and it is said that you are better. If the taste of this year's tribute is not as good as that of the previous year, do you think it is bad, or do you understand that this is normal? Therefore, this tribute is not the best, but the quality is stable!"
Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng with a pale face and concluded rudely, "So, you can't eat good food in the palace at all."
"I'm not saying that things are good or not. If you pay ten catties, you will lose 100 catties! Is there no way to treat these corrupt officials?!" Su Zicheng was angry, and Li Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the only way is not to pay tribute. As long as there is tribute, it is inevitable!"
"Then don't pay tribute!" Su Zicheng said with a wrong tooth, "When I go back, I will write to my eldest brother and remove all the tributes!" Li Xiaoyao looked at him sullenly and thought about it. It was hard not to say, so he had to pull Su Zicheng and muttered in a low voice, "What are you worried about? If you hooked off the emperor's tribute with Prince Ning, won't it become unfilial? Don't worry about it at this time, wait for your brother to become the emperor later. Come on, let's not talk about this. It's too late. Let's go to Lvliu Town for lunch. Let's go!" Li Xiaoyao changed the topic and accelerated his pace.
He got on the horse at the foot of Chashan, but he trotted for two quarters and entered Lvliu Town. When he came out of Yangzhou, Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao went to Yishan Tea Farm. Nanning took a few maids to protect Begonia and other maids and a few cars to Green Liu Town to prepare. When Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao arrived, the small tea shop in the east of the town had been cleaned up. The three of them cleaned their hands and faces, and Xirong and Cherry brought tea. The three of them drank a cup of tea, and the dishes came one after another.
The thing was washed by Haitang with people, but this dish is the chef of the tea shop, that is, the hand of Mrs. Yao, the boss. The real Huainan town flavor. Li Xiaoyao ate it with relish. While eating it, he explained to Su Zicheng what are the benefits of this dish and what are the beauty of that dish? Su Zicheng followed Li Xiaoyao's words have been tasted in the same way, and I really ate the wonderful things Li Xiaoyao said. I only felt that everything was extremely sweet and delicious. Nanning and Xi'an stood not far away, looking at their master speechlessly. In those dishes, there are many of them that the master obviously don't like to eat, and they usually dare not dare to serve at all!
The two talked and laughed. After eating more than half an hour's meal, Haitang took away the dishes. At a little, he led a fat black woman over. Su Zicheng looked at the woman in surprise and curiously. It was the first time he saw a woman who was so black and fat like this. Li Xiaoyao He said with a smile: "Grandma Yao, thank you for your food. It's really delicious!"
"As long as the girl likes it, as long as she likes it! The girl is so beautiful! Just like the white lotus! The fairies painted that year were not as good-looking as girls! This master is also good-looking! Look how expensive it is!" Mrs. Yao laughed and praised, which directly turned the smile on Su Zicheng's face into embarrassment. Li Xiaoyao smiled and asked, "Is grandma's business here?" How much can you earn in a year?
"That's it! There is four or five dollars left a year, and there are still dozens of mu of land at home, which can at least hold the mouth of the family!" Mrs. Yao answered simply and cheerfully,
"I passed the army a while ago, but I'm afraid it's difficult to do business."
"I didn't think so. First of all, I heard that I had hit Chuzhou, and I was very scared. The old man said he wanted to escape and forced me to suppress it! Who came here to collect food and pay for it? You said yes, right? Later, I heard that Lord Tang sacrificed the city, and later passed the army, so he passed by that road! It's all black. Do you think he doesn't think it's hot on this hot day? ••••" Mrs. Yao was extremely talkative and talked endlessly. Li Xiaoyao listened with an interesting face. Mrs. Yao spoke directly for half an hour and stopped talking. Li Xiaoyao smiled and motioned her happily to hand her a cup of tea and said, "It's really interesting to listen to grandma's words. It's late today. If I have time, I will listen to my grandmother again.
Haitang quickly touched about two taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Mrs. Yao and said, "This is today's meal money. Thank you very much!" Mrs. Yao took the silver gong, quickly put it in her mouth and bit it, and then flicked it with her fingers. She quickly put it in her ear to listen to it. She turned her head and looked at Haitang and said in surprise, "It's really silver!" Haitang looked at her with tears and didn't know what to say. Li Xiaoyao stood up, looked at Mrs. Yao, and sighed with Su Zicheng, "This is still a richer family in the town. I don't know how many people have never seen silver in their lives."
Su Zicheng looked at Mrs. Yao, who held the silver tightly and didn't know how to express it, and sighed with pity.
Throughout August, Li Xiaoyao took Su Zicheng to see tea mountains, wine workshops, and villages to see people's autumn harvests and autumn seeds on Huainan Road. He almost walked around Yangzhou. Nearby famous temples and ancient temples, scenic spots are not far away. In his favorite places, Li Xiaoyao took Su Zicheng to live for a night or two and walked to Where to play, where to eat, where to live, the two played until late August, ** opened, the crabs were on the market, Li Xiaoyao was tired of playing, and began to rest in the house to eat crabs **.
