Chapter 240 She Escaped
But unfortunately, this time the space became a little more lively, with no other changes.
Through these experiences, Qiao Xuan has concluded that she needs to send in more rare plants of different types. When the number reaches a certain level, the change that can be brought about is not significant.
After picking a large bag of purple-red tea buds, Qiao Xuan also dug up a few tea seedlings and tied them into bundles. Only then did everyone set off again.
Today was also a fruitful day.
After returning home, Qiao Xuan asked Taotao and others to help plant tea trees in the garden and corners of the flower fields.
Fresh tea leaves also need to be prepared in time.
No one understands the complicated process. Country people prepare tea by slowly frying it in a large pot until the water is dried. This makes it easier to store.
So, naturally, this time we used this traditional method as well.
Tea quenches thirst and stimulates salivation. Many country families like to plant one or two, three or five tea trees beside their vegetable gardens or at the edge of their fields. In spring and autumn, they can pick some tea trees, fry them and use them to make tea for daily drinking.
Of course, this tea tree is not a rare variety, it is just a very common tea tree.
There is no need to take special care of it on weekdays. It depends on the will of heaven. It is not even pruned.
The two kinds of drinks that Qiao Xuan and her friends brought back today are obviously different from the ones they usually drink at home.
Qiao Xuan took it to heart, thinking that when she returned to the county town, she would bring two branches and some roasted tea leaves to Mingrentang to ask Manager Qin for help and see if he could recognize them.
If it was a rare variety, she would go to Zhangjia Village to buy dozens or hundreds of acres of land from him to build a tea garden, and then move all the tea seedlings into the mountains.
Qiao Xuan kept some fresh tea leaves for cooking in the evening, and fried the rest.
The more you fry these two kinds of tea, the more fragrant they become. The aroma they emit is refreshing, elegant and pleasant, making people feel relaxed and happy, and the more they smell it, the more intoxicated they become.
Fang praised it endlessly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there is such good tea in our mountains! I don't know what it is called, but just by smelling the fragrance, I know it is different from what we drink every day!"
Qiao Xuan also smiled: "There are so many treasures in our mountain. Only Xiao Qi knows the place well and can lead us to find the good stuff. Others may not recognize it even if they see it."
Fang laughed: "He knows how to hunt some things, but he doesn't know anything about tea. It's a pity that we have you and Duan'er!"
Fang and Qiao Xuan chatted for a while, and suddenly asked: "Do you remember Ding Xiang who was locked up in the ancestral hall yesterday? At noon today, Zhou secretly brought her food and found that she was missing! Zhou and Ding Erzhu's family were in chaos, looking for her everywhere, and that girl was so brave that she actually escaped."
Qiao Xuan was shocked and said with a pale face, "Ah? She, she escaped?!"
"That's right," Fang was still gossiping, "I really didn't expect that girl to be so fierce. She looked quiet in the past, but I didn't expect that I had misjudged her. Alas, she is also confused. How can she escape from being punished in the ancestral hall? Where can she escape to? Can she not come back? If she comes back, she will probably be severely criticized and punished. How can she do such a thing in a place like the ancestral hall? The old woman and old man of the Ding family are almost angry to death."
Qiao Xuan was so confused that she was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
She had a premonition that Dingxiang had not escaped from the ancestral hall in anger, and would not come back.
