Chapter 446 You’ll Know After Trying It

The two looked at the sky and saw that it was still early before dark, so He Zhiran asked Mo Jiuye to pick some tea leaves and take them back.

She could try to study tea frying to pass the time.

He Zhiran took out a backpack from the space, Mo Jiuye filled the backpack with tea leaves, and then the two went down the mountain.

Mrs. He thought her son-in-law took her daughter out for a walk, but she didn't expect them to come back even for lunch. She was worried that something had happened to He Zhiran, so she stood at the door and looked out.

Seeing the young couple from afar, Mrs. He went to greet them.

"Ran Ran, Jiu Ye, did you go into the city? What took you so long?"

While speaking, Mrs. He did not forget to carefully observe He Zhiran's complexion, fearing that she might make a mistake.

He Zhiran knew that his mother really cared about him and that she had been out for quite a while, so he quickly stepped forward and took her arm.

"Mom, my husband and I just went out for a walk, and we were so playful that we've been delayed until now."

At this time, Mrs. He also noticed the backpack Mo Jiuye was carrying behind him.

"You went up the mountain?"

After living in Xiling Village for some time, Mrs. He has learned that the villagers here generally carry such a backpack when they go up the mountain.

Mo Jiuye put the backpack on the ground.

"Mom, Ranran and I were just taking a walk and accidentally found some tea leaves, so we picked some and brought them back. That's why we were delayed."

As a noble in the capital, Mrs. He naturally knew a lot about tea.

In her opinion, the good teas that people drink in Beijing all come from the south, and what they see are all finished teas that have been roasted.

She saw Mo Jiuye carrying a basket of leaves of unknown origin and asked in disbelief, "Ranran, Jiuye, don't tell me this is tea leaves?"

Mrs. He's question was not strange at all to He Zhiran.

The amount of tea in Dashun was originally small, and because of its scarcity, the price of tea was very high.

Not only that, tea is only sold to various places after being roasted by tea farmers, and tea drinkers can only see the roasted and dried tea leaves.

Moreover, the tea-frying technology of this era was backward. No matter what kind of tea was fried, it would look dark brown. Even after brewing, the original shape of the leaves could not be seen.

The most important thing is that when He Zhiran gave Mo Jiuye Tieguanyin, he specifically asked him that Dashun did not have tea with this flavor.

Therefore, Mrs. He thought it was understandable that they were passing off leaves of certain trees as tea.

"Mom, don't worry, this is definitely tea. I once read about it in a book. This kind of tea is very rare and tastes excellent. I'll study how to fry it tomorrow, and you'll know when you try it."

Seeing that her daughter was talking enthusiastically, Mrs. He didn't want to spoil her good mood, so she could only nod perfunctorily.

In short, no matter whether this is tea or not, as long as my daughter is happy, it’s fine.

The next day, Mo Jiuye took Liang Hao, Tao Ran and others to the mountain to make arrangements, while He Zhiran went to the small kitchen in his yard.

After she picked the tea leaves, she bought a book on tea-roasting techniques from Taobao Mall.

She has basically mastered the roasting method now. As she is bored, she plans to practice with the tea leaves she picked from the mountains.

Not only that, for yesterday's plan, He Zhiran planted a large number of tea seedlings in the space.

Tea seedlings are produced in space. Like other crops, they are not picky about climate and land. Not to mention being planted on the hillside where Tieguanyin grows, even if they are planted in saline and alkaline land, their growth will not be hindered.

After a busy day, He Zhiran successfully shocked Mrs. He.

"Ranran, is this really tea?" Mrs. He held a small ball in her hand, which was slightly inferior to the Tieguanyin that He Zhiran bought on Taobao, her eyes full of brilliance.

Although He Zhiran was not very satisfied with the appearance of the tea, she could be sure from the taste that the tea she roasted was close to success. As long as she practiced more, she believed that she would be able to roast the same Tieguanyin as in her previous life.

She responded to Mrs. He happily: "Mom, it should be successful."

After saying that, she asked Yu'er, who had been helping her, to make a few cups for everyone to taste.

Anyone in He Zhiran's courtyard, including Lan'er, Yu'er and Li Ma, regardless of master or servant, was given a cup of tea.

Lan'er and Yu'er were girls who grew up with the Fourth Princess. Naturally, they had seen a lot of good tea from the Dashun Dynasty.

Lan'er took a deep breath as soon as she opened the lid of the teacup.

"Madam Nine, in Lan'er's opinion, this tea can be called the best of the best. Even the tributes from the imperial palace are countless times inferior to this."

He Zhiran knew that Lan'er was an insightful girl. The fact that she could make such an evaluation meant that her tea business would definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Mrs. He also nodded continuously: "I didn't expect that such delicious tea could be produced in this barren land in the northwest."

She could never have imagined that this tea had nothing to do with its origin, and that its good taste was entirely due to her daughter's method of roasting tea.

Mrs. He thought so, which saved He Zhiran the trouble of explaining.

In the evening, Mo Jiuye brought his men back from the mountain, and everything there had been arranged.

He Zhiran was too lazy to ask what excuse he used to explain the appearance of those houses. In short, Liang Hao and the others didn't notice anything wrong after they came back.

Not only that, Mo Jiuye also took everyone to pick some more tea leaves.

He also saw it last night when his wife was learning how to fry tea in the space.

He thought that such a complicated process would require his wife to experiment for a few days, so he decided to pick more tea leaves for her to practice.

Unexpectedly, my wife was so talented that she succeeded in frying it in just one day, and the taste was no worse than the Tieguanyin bought on Taobao.

This made Mo Jiuye realize a problem.

In addition to jewelry making, the tea business will also become a high-profit point for the Mo family's biggest source of income in the future.

In fact, Mo Jiuye underestimated his wife.

Although He Zhiran is not very keen on doing business, he does not have the business acumen of Tang Mingrui.

But she actually possessed the knowledge of a thousand years later. Based on this alone, even if she had no business acumen, she could still make a lot of money in ancient times.

Dinner was still held in the courtyard of the two elders of the Mo family, with the exception of Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's room.

Old Madam Mo took into consideration that Madam He had come all the way to the northwest to accompany her daughter in childbirth, and that there were so many boys in the family. Although the Mo family no longer had many of the rules of those wealthy families, Madam He had not yet completely adapted to local customs.

She was afraid that her mother-in-law would feel uncomfortable eating like this, so she sent Yu'er to He Zhiran's yard and was responsible for her three meals a day.

Mrs. He has now completely fallen in love with her daughter's food.
