Chapter 136: Tang's Mother Competes with Tea



Unexpectedly, after finishing half a basket of tea leaves, it was still not successful, as it was still a little short of the right temperature.

Tang's mother was a little embarrassed. "My dear, what should we do? It's all wasted!"

Tang Youyou looked at the tea in the bowl, squinted her eyes and took a sip, "Mom, it's okay, let's fry it slowly, this pot is already much better! It's just that the fire is a little high!"

When Lin Huahua heard this, her face suddenly flushed, "I...I'll pay attention!"

At noon, the main force returned, and everyone was in high spirits.

"We have picked half of the fruits. We will continue after dinner!" Yu was very happy.

Tang Youyou pointed to the dustpan covered with a thin cloth.

"You can drink the tea leaves that failed to be fried!"

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she smiled brightly: "Then we are in for a treat today!"

When Tang's mother saw the baskets of tea leaves, she instantly gained confidence. She didn't even want to eat, and was so obsessed with tea leaves.

A quarter of an hour later, just as everyone finished their meal, a loud shout startled everyone.

"Great, it's done, it's done!" Tang's mother was very happy and proud.

Tang Youyou handed over a bowl of porridge, "Only when you're full can you have the strength to work!"

He stepped forward to examine the tea leaves and couldn't help but give Tang's mother a thumbs-up, "It smells so good!"

Watching the tea leaves slowly unwinding in the bowl, she felt warm in her heart. This was the only way to have hope in life. She would never allow anyone to destroy everything she had worked so hard to obtain.

"Mom, I'll finish the shooting, and I'll leave the rest to you!"

Thus, the intensive work of frying tea began, which lasted until late at night. Torches were lit all around, and all the tea had to be fried in the dark.

Someone advised: "Why don't you take a break first? You've been busy all day!"

"Hey...how about getting up early and frying it tomorrow?"

Tang's mother waved her hand. "It's okay. This tea is fresh. If it's left overnight, the taste will probably change!"

"Alas...we can't help you. Thank you for your hard work, auntie!"

Tang Youyou suddenly thought of the tea jar. It was impossible to wrap it in cloth. If it broke into pieces, it would be a waste of time and effort.

No, she has to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the mountain to see if there is a bamboo forest.

As the sky gradually brightened, Tang's mother had just finished frying and was exhausted. She sat down on the ground, feeling pain all over her body.

"Mom, don't do anything today. Just take a good rest. I'm going up the mountain to see if there's any bamboo forest and cut some bamboo tubes!"

Without waiting for Tang's mother to reply, she turned and left.

Tang's mother sighed slightly: This child doesn't sleep more.

Tang Youyou ran around in the mountains and forests, and she didn't know whether she was lucky or not, but she really found the bamboo forest, but it was in the valley inside the back mountain.

Her heart skipped a beat. This was the valley. She had to go back and say hello to all the villagers.

He walked carefully to the edge, cut a few bamboos and left.

"Bang!" "Brother Zhang, please make me some bamboo tubes quickly. I need to store tea leaves in them!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Sister Tang, where did you find it?"

"This bamboo is really thick!"

"That's right, using this to weave winnowing baskets and backpacks can save a lot of money!"

Tang Youyou took the opportunity to remind him: "In the valley inside the mountain, I encountered a blind bear. Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"

"Hiss" everyone took a deep breath at the same time.

The news spread quickly that people could not enter the valley because it was the inner area and there were blind bears there.

She was very satisfied with the result. As long as she didn't offend that woman, they would probably be able to live in peace.

Walked to the county government office with the village chief.

Looking at the rotten straw sandals on her feet, she felt like crying, and her desire to buy shoes and an ox cart was infinitely magnified.

The yamen runner saw how the two men were dressed and snorted coldly, "Stray away, you outsiders!"

The village chief bowed calmly and said, "Sir, please inform me that the head of Xiangyang Village has an urgent matter with Master Li..."

When the yamen runner heard the word Xiangyang Village, his eyes were filled with astonishment and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"You...you...wait!"

Tang Youyou carried the bamboo basket and observed her straw sandals. They were about to be unblocked, so she made up her mind to buy a few pairs of shoes in the mall later.

He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Village chief, I forgot to take the farm tools I ordered last time!" He has such a bad memory. He has never eaten dog meat.

The village chief smiled slightly and said, "No problem, we can go get it together when we go back later!"

In half a cup of tea time, the bailiff brought the two men in.

Master Li had just finished discussing the matter of Mr. Zhao with the county magistrate, and the result was that Wang Er would be beheaded tomorrow, and the matter came to an end.

He sighed. There must be some mood involved, but the issue of the disaster victims came up again, and he was too overwhelmed to think about it.

"Sir, I'm sorry for being so rude!" The village chief apologized slightly.

"No problem, what's going on?"

The village chief looked around and saw that they were the only three people in the house. He asked quietly, "Sir, will these disaster victims be allowed into our village?"

Master Li stroked his beard and glanced at him. "We don't know yet, but we have confirmed that a large number of disaster victims are pouring into Nanzhou. It will take five or six days. You must be prepared!"

The village chief had lived for most of his life, so he knew the profound meaning of this. He sighed with emotion: "Thank you for your advice, sir!"

"It's okay. If there are too many victims and other places can't accommodate them, your village may have more people coming in. But don't worry, I'll be in charge and won't let any vicious people into your village."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive response.

Tang You You pursed her lips in her heart. Could it be that you can even read faces? You can only know a person's face but not his heart. This ferocious monster is only different in appearance. He is still much better than a smiling tiger.

But there is no other way at the moment. I can only hope that fewer victims will be assigned to Qingshui County. I will have to rely on Master Li for news in the future.

Thinking of this, Tang Youyou uncovered the cotton cloth, took out a can of tea from inside and handed it to Master Li, "Sir, this is the tea we roasted. It's not worth a few silver coins, so please don't despise it!"

Master Li was slightly surprised. He opened the bamboo tube and sniffed it. "Hmm, not bad, with a pleasant fragrance. I didn't realize you had such a skill!"

The village chief bowed and said, "Thank you for your compliment, sir. I'm glad you don't mind."

The village chief's eyes fell on the bamboo basket, "Are you planning to sell it?"

Both of them nodded slightly.

Master Li stroked his beard, looked at the tea in his hand, and laughed twice: "Go to Changyinju and tell him I recommended it. He won't fool you!"

The two men's eyes lit up. They didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise. They bowed, thanked him and left.

What they didn't know was that this Changyinlou was run by the Li family.

The two asked around and finally stopped in front of an ancient teahouse.

Tang Youyou felt a little cramped. The decoration here was luxurious, and she could vaguely see the ornaments inside. The tables, chairs and benches were all shiny and bright.

The village chief was also feeling awkward. This teahouse was a place only the rich and powerful came to. He felt a little inferior because he was wearing pudding clothes.
