Chapter 273 Recognition of Relatives
Lin Zhen and Song Wei took note of it carefully, and planned to pick some inferior tea leaves to try later.
The tea leaves were fully cured the next day.
The small young leaves turned dark green and slightly curled, locking in most of the tea aroma.
But once brewed, the tea leaves expand in the clear water and turn into a beautiful light green color. The fragrance also bursts out instantly, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The tea was unexpectedly good. The grandmother told them that the quality of the tea was similar to the top-notch teas she had tasted before.
After frying, seven or eight kilograms of tea leaves only make one kilogram and three ounces in total. Although this number may not sound like a lot, the weight of tea leaves is so light that when added together it is actually quite considerable.
If Song Wei and Lin Zhen drink tea together, they can probably last for several months.
They gave the three taels of tea to the grandmother.
Grandma waved her hand quickly: "Just give me the inferior one, that tea is also good."
"Grandma, you take it. There are still a few tea trees in the mountain. We plan to pick them early tomorrow morning. I think we can pick about ten kilograms."
Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on the grandmother's face were squeezed together with laughter: "Okay, okay, based on your description, I estimate that those tea trees are hundreds of years old. Such good quality is rare. These tea trees must be protected well.
But it's such a pity. If the environment there is suitable for tea tree growth, we can actually cut some tea branches from old tea trees for cuttings. Although they are definitely not as good as old tea trees, the number will definitely increase a lot."
Song Wei nodded: "Why don't you go with us, grandma? It's a bit far, and it's in the mountains. If you trust us, we can definitely keep you safe."
She saw that her grandmother also wanted to see those tea trees.
The grandmother rubbed her hands and said, "It's fine if I don't bother you. I'll let my eldest son go with us."
"No trouble."
But you still need to prepare something.
There are a lot of snakes and insects over there. I went to ask Mr. Ji if he has any medicine to repel snakes and insects.
Grandma also went back to prepare, Lin Zhen cooked at home, and Song Wei went to ask Mr. Ji herself.
"Where is Mr. Ji?"
There was no sign of Mr. Ji at the small clinic. Only Xie Tian was sorting out the medicinal materials.
Xie Tian is a teacher at school, but teachers have a lot more free time. When he doesn't have classes, Xie Tian comes to help Mr. Ji and learn at the same time.
Xie Tian: "He went to see a patient and should be back soon."
"What do you want?"
Xie Tian is a man of few words, and for some unknown reason, Song Wei always feels that he is somewhat inferior, and he doesn't even dare to show it on his face.
"I want to ask Mr. Ji if he can make medicine to repel snakes and insects."
"Yes, I can match it."
After saying that, Xie Tian went back to his own business.
Mr. Ji didn't charge any money or tickets for his medical treatment. Apart from occasionally sending him some food, everyone would spontaneously go to the mountains to find some herbs.
However, they didn't know any herbs, so it was Mr. Ji who taught them several common and easier to identify ones.
Some uncommon ones were either obtained from Song Wei or bought by the captain with money from other places.
This was actually the first time Xie Tian prescribed medicine for someone, and he had memorized many prescriptions by heart, but he was still nervous.
"Probably, that's about it."
He was so nervous that he stuttered while speaking.
"But, let's wait until Elder Ji comes and confirm it again."
As he spoke, he quietly took out the thing he was wearing around his neck and placed it in the palm of his hand.
It was a piece of jade in the shape of a fish. The quality wasn't very good, but it was quite lively.
This was given to him by his mother. Whenever he was scared or nervous, he would take it out and hold it in his hand.
Just at this time, Mr. Ji came back.
After learning what Song Wei wanted, he carefully looked at the medicine prepared by Xie Tian and nodded.
"Yes, it seems that you remember those prescriptions very well."
He is so old and has no children in this life. It is a relief to find such a satisfactory successor in his old age. Naturally, Mr. Ji taught him all his knowledge without reservation.
Xie Tian smiled faintly when he was praised.
"Grind all these medicines into powder."
"good."
Xie Tian put down the pendant in his hand and was about to step forward. After taking a quick glance, Ji Lao suddenly froze. Then he stood up and excitedly grabbed Xie Tian's shoulders.
"You, where are you from?"
Song Wei and Xie Tian were looking at him in confusion at this moment.
Song Wei: There is something fishy! She immediately perked up and stared at Ji Lao and Xie Tian with burning eyes.
Xie Tian was so nervous that he lowered his head and his ears turned red.
Mr. Ji realized that he had scared him a little, so he quickly slowed down his voice, but his voice and hands were trembling.
"Good boy, tell me where did you get this pendant?"
Xie Tian said weakly: "My mother gave it to me."
Although it was a small sound, Mr. Ji heard it.
"Your mother, what's your mother's name?"
"Her, her name is Ji Guiyu."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As he said this, he was stunned for a moment, because this surname was the same as Mr. Ji's.
"Well, then do you know your grandmother's name?"
Xie Tian nodded, holding the pendant tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, her name is Yan Huan."
Hearing the familiar name, Mr. Ji suddenly cried and laughed.
"After all these years, I finally found it, I finally found it."
Song Wei whispered beside him: "I knew it."
This must be a recognition of relatives! Judging from Mr. Ji's age, he lived in the war-torn era.
People of that era were most likely to get lost.
Obviously, Mr. Ji is the same.
Song Wei-chi reduced his presence and heard a regrettable love story.
Mr. Ji and his wife were a good match, and they had been childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.
But less than two years after their marriage, war broke out in their city.
As a family of traditional Chinese medicine, all the male members of their family who knew medicine were captured by the local warlords.
When he returned, his home was gone, leaving only a dilapidated yard, and his wife was also missing.
Before he could inquire about and find someone, the war broke out again. He and the rest of Ji's family boarded a boat and fled the city. He never found any news of his wife again.
Mr. Ji was crying like a child at this moment.
"I went back to look for them, but everything had changed. All my friends and relatives were separated. When I went back, I didn't even find anyone I was familiar with, and the Ji Mansion was long gone."
He even prepared for the worst, that his wife and many family members died in the war.
After that, he never remarried for so many years.
"Your grandmother, how is she now?"
Fish returns to the season, fish returns to the season...
This must be their child.
It turned out that she was already pregnant at the beginning, but God was not kind to their family and made them miss it for so long.
Xie Tian: "Grandma, grandma, she has..."
There was no need for Xie Tian to say what came next, as Mr. Ji could have guessed it.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a black screen in front of his eyes and it became difficult to breathe. He lost his balance and almost fainted.
Song Wei quickly helped the man up, and Xie Tian also anxiously pinched his nose.
Mr. Ji started crying again, and he seemed to have lost all his energy.
This looks really pitiful.
After waiting and searching for so many years, I finally got some news when I was old, only to find out that the other person had passed away.
This is a blow to anyone.
Song Wei couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Ji, you should cheer up, your grandson is still here."
