Farming in another world to make a fortune

Chapter 120 Learning to Roast Tea

Even if they didn't take the initiative to tell the truth about Jin Chuan's pregnancy, it was impossible for them to keep it a secret.

You don't need to wait for Jin Chuan to see the signs, just Yu Zhou's cautious attitude, and Chen Chen's obedient behavior, no matter what the situation, no longer pestering his father to hug him, Lin Yue, his wife and the Chen family, Just guessed the result.

Yu Zhou didn't talk to Jin Chuan, and Lin Yue and his wife couldn't ask, but Zheng Xiu usually took more care of Jin Chuan, and prepared some light and nutritious meals.

The Chen family is different, especially Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen. They are elders. After realizing it, Aunt Chen directly asked, "Is Chenchen going to be an older brother?"

Before Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan could answer, Chenchen next to him blinked and nodded, "Well, Father told Daddy that when it snows, I will have my own younger brother!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his father and father had said that this matter should not be told to others, so he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, and looked at Yu Zhou and then at Jin Chuan with only a pair of big round eyes open.

Yu Zhou touched the top of Chenchen's hair, and smiled lightly, "It's okay now."

Chen Chen made a sudden move, her eyes became bright, "Then I'm going to tell Aunt Xiaojuan."

Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that he still remembered this, a little dumbfounded, but they both felt that when talking to Chenchen in the future, not only should they pay special attention to themselves, but also pay attention to other people Is there any nonsense to say?

The child has already remembered, as a father and a father, they have to protect Chenchen well. Some adults may think it is a joke and don't care about it, but children are quite sensitive in their hearts.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen didn't know why, so she asked Chenchen suspiciously, "Why did you tell Aunt Xiaojuan?"

"Aunt Xiaojuan said that my younger brother is not from my family, so I can't bring it back," Chenchen said childishly, "I want to tell my aunt that when it snows, I will have my own younger brother, and my own younger brother will come with me." I live together and play with me all the time."

Chenchen's expression was not very clear, but Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen understood it. Xiaojuan said that she was not the younger brother of Chenchen's family, but Chen Feng's son. Now Chenchen knew that she would have her own younger brother, so she wanted to Go tell Xiaojuan.

But precisely because they understood, the two women who were always eloquent fell silent.

If an adult or even an older child said this, they would still laugh it off, but for a child like Chenchen, the two of them could only say according to Chenchen's words: "Okay, wait a minute I'll go and tell you Aunt Xiaojuan." And she decided in her heart that when she went back, she would tell Xiaojuan not to talk to Chenchen like this in the future.

After getting the promise, Chenchen has been immersed in the joy of everyone knowing that he will have a younger brother when it snows, but he doesn't know that his performance today has changed everyone's view of his education Not a lot.

Especially Jin Chuan, knowing that Chenchen still remembered what happened so long ago, he couldn't help but wonder if he should let Chenchen start reading and writing earlier.

But in spring and summer, even if they wanted to, they didn't have much time to teach Chenchen, especially Yu Zhou.

When the tea garden was first opened, because the tea leaves had not fully grown, there were not many tea leaves that everyone could pick every day, so Yu Zhou could easily finish frying that afternoon.

The closer it gets to the Qingming Festival, the tea leaves grow faster, and the tea leaves picked are no longer the top single buds at the beginning, but one bud and one leaf. The amount of tea that can be picked every day increases, and Yu Zhou can't fry it in an afternoon. over.They can only let Lin Yue send it back after the total amount of several people in the morning is almost full.

But even so, when he stopped picking and frying tea, Yu Zhou was still tired and felt like his bones were falling apart.

Every year he picks tea until about ten days after Qingming, and this year is no exception. For Yu Zhou and Jinchuan, they value the quality of their own tea more than the quantity of tea.

Yu Zhou has been busy at home, and when he finally picked out all the dried tea leaves and rested for a few days, he had time to go up the mountain to check the two tea gardens.

Jin Chuan's body was inconvenient to go up the mountain, and Chen Chen was too young to take him with him, so Yu Zhou took Lin Yue, Chen Feng, and Er Gouzi with him, as if the landlord went to inspect the fields after the harvest.

Of course, the atmosphere must be much more relaxed than the landlord inspection.

Among the few people, Lin Yue's personality is relatively reserved, and he is a servant after all, so he will pay attention to propriety when talking to Yu Zhou.Because Er Gouzi is younger than Yu Zhou and Chen Feng, he doesn't talk so casually.

Only Chen Feng, maybe it's been too long since he went into the mountain with Yu Zhou, and he talked non-stop along the way.Even passing through the pine forest, he said expectantly: "It rained just two days ago. When we come back later, we can go to the forest to see if there are any mushrooms growing. A surprise for the family."

"Yes." Yu Zhou nodded in response. He came to the mountain today, except to see the growth of those tea trees, and he didn't have any other important things.Moreover, not only Aunt Chen and Xiaojuan like the mushrooms and bamboo shoots that grow in the mountains, Jinchuan has always loved them too.

It's just that this year Jinchuan definitely won't be able to go to the mountain to pick it by himself, but he can get some back, can't he?

A few people looked here, looked there, and checked the peach trees planted a few days ago, and finally wandered slowly to the ghost crying cliff.

After the Qingming Festival, the temperature rises and the plants grow rapidly. However, in just a few days, the tea trees that have been picked with almost no buds can be seen to be full of vigorous new branches at the top.

The three of Chen Feng picked tea leaves for almost a month. After seeing them, they subconsciously stretched out their hands to pinch the young shoots on them. After pinching a few, they came back to their senses. Remembering that there is no need to pick tea leaves now, they withdrew their hands in embarrassment.

Seeing their movements, Yu Zhou smiled lightly, and brushed his palm over the tender leaf tips, "You three...do you want to learn how to fry tea?"

As soon as he said this, the three looked up in shock.

Chen Feng is fine, after all, Yu Zhou said at his house before that he would teach everyone how to make tea, but now it is much earlier than he thought.

Lin Yue and Er Gouzi opened their mouths and did not speak for a long time.

Yu Zhou waited for a while, seeing their stunned looks, he casually snipped off a tea tip, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, don't you want to learn?"

"No! Master is willing to teach, Lin Yue is very grateful." Lin Yue's voice trembled because of excitement.He has been at Yu Zhou's house for so long, so he naturally knows the abilities of the two masters.

Although when he came back to Yujia Village from Fucheng, he couldn't figure out why the master would do this, but when he got to the village and saw the master and husband, they arranged things in an orderly manner, he knew that this was just the master It's just the way of life you choose, but with the master's ability, it's definitely not just what you're doing right now.He and Zheng Xiu will never be the only servants of the Yu family in the future.

The two of them, the husband and wife, had also discussed in private. As the first people who followed the master, they have always been loyal, and they might be able to find someone in charge in the future.

But he never expected that the master would ask him if he would like to learn how to fry tea. This is a great kindness to him. If he knows this skill, will he be afraid that the husband and wife will not have a place beside the master in the future?

So when he came to his senses, if Chen Feng and Er Gouzi were not there, and Yu Zhou didn't like too many rules, he would have knelt down to thank him.

Yu Zhou had his own way of managing his subordinates, but he didn't expect that Lin Yue had just bypassed so many thoughts. After hearing his answer, he turned his head and asked Er Gouzi, "What about you?"

Er Gouzi had the composure that is rare for a child of his age, and now he has almost digested all the news he heard, and when he heard Yu Zhou's words, he replied with bright eyes: "I want to learn!"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Thank you Brother Xiaozhou."

Yu Zhou nodded, pointed at the tender green buds and said, "If you want to learn, pick some tea leaves and go back to practice. Practice a few times a year, and when the newly planted tea trees start to produce tea, your skills should be almost ready."

When he said this, the three of them understood what he meant.

With Yu Zhou alone, it is already the limit to fry the tea leaves from these two wild tea gardens every year. After a few years, the newly planted tea trees will start to produce tea. If there is no human help, the excess tea leaves will only be wasted.

And if they only started learning at that time, how could they be able to accurately grasp the heat and techniques so quickly.

Since they are only doing exercises, especially when they are just starting to learn, there is no need to pick a single bud or one bud and one leaf like the tea sold before, so four people and eight hands quickly picked two baskets of tea come out.

When they went back, Chen Feng and the others were extremely excited. If Yu Zhou hadn't mentioned the matter of looking for mushrooms in the forest, they wished they could grow wings and fly back home.

But Yu Zhou had the right to speak, and the last few people still went to the forest. Yu Zhou picked half a basket of mushrooms and a large bundle of bamboo shoots before going back.

Only Yu Zhou's family has ready-made tools, and his house has a large space, so several people can study nearby without being overwhelmed, so it is natural to choose his house as the place to teach how to stir-fry tea.

Jin Chuan cooperatively taught everyone how to control the heat by the stove.

Now he is quite good at controlling the heat, more than enough to teach others, because of his pregnancy, after burning two fires, Yu Zhou asked him to go out to rest, and he continued to stay by the stove to watch Chen Feng and the others fry tea.

Chen Feng and the three of them practiced until the afternoon to use up the two baskets of young tea leaves.

Yu Zhou led them to pack up their things before going out from the ear room specially used for frying tea.

Jinchuan was leading Chenchen to peel bamboo shoots in the yard, and the basin in front of them was already filled with more than half of the white and tender bamboo shoots.

Yu Zhou remembered that he pulled a bundle back in the morning, and everyone ate here at noon, and ate a lot, so he couldn't help wondering: "Why are there so many bamboo shoots?"

"I wanted to make some dried bamboo shoots, so I asked Zheng Xiu to pull some back." Jin Chuan said with a smile, seeing that the bamboo shoot in Chenchen's hand was broken, he handed him another one.

Lin Yue has always had good eyesight. Hearing what Jin Chuan said, and not seeing Zheng Xiu in the yard, he knew that she must have gone to the mountain again, so he said: "The weather is fine these few days, I will carry a backpack to the mountain again, Pull some more and come back to dry it together."

What they pull back to make dried bamboo shoots today are all thin bamboo shoots. Even if it is a big basket, only the tender meat is left after peeling off the shell, and then blanched and dried, there is not much.

Yu Zhou now lives in the village, and besides his own food, he has to give away a lot every year. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Go and help her."

After talking, he went to peel bamboo shoots with Jin Chuan himself, and Chen Feng and Er Gouzi had something to do at home, so they went back first.

There were only three members of their family left in the yard, Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan worked at a leisurely pace, talking to Chen Chen from time to time, the shadows of the sun slanted westward with the piles of bamboo shoots around them.

When a large basket of bamboo shoots was about to be peeled, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the yard.

"I'll go and have a look." Yu Zhou put down the bamboo shoots in his hand, and when he got up, he met Shang Jinchuan's questioning gaze and nodded, "It should be them."

Lin Yue and Zheng Xiu went to the mountains to pull bamboo shoots, let alone whether they will come back at this time, even if they come back, they will come in by themselves and will not knock on the door.

The main reason is that a few of them went to the tea garden to pick tea leaves again today. It is estimated that before noon, everyone in the village will know about it.

Yu Zhou went over and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw that the six old people standing outside, headed by Li Zheng, were all respected elders in the village.

These people had the same polite smiles on their faces.
