Chapter 373: On Tea
Xu Hao looked at his young brother and daughter-in-law with a smile, her body has not yet developed and looks petite and exquisite, her eyes are like water, but she is a little out of focus when she looks at people, this is because of her diligent study and myopia.
Speaking of this family business, he personally nodded, excluding a family of eunuchs, don't look at Zhong Kegu's age, everyone in the neighborhood praises her, and she is famous for having both ability and political integrity. When she is given a pair of glasses, her temperament will definitely become very unusual.
Sure enough, Zhong's heart was bright, not under the red leaves and green bamboos, so he smiled and said: "The girl is willing to change her name as soon as she meets, and it can be said that there is fate. I only hate that I am such an affectionate and obedient person as the girl, and it is too late to meet each other. ”
Wang Xuanqing and Mu Ningxue glanced at each other in surprise at the same time, and said in their hearts that she was a girl who could talk.
Everyone was very happy to see that Xu Hao was very happy because the eldest sister gave birth to a daughter today, and they couldn't help but be interested.
Zhong Keren first arrived, although he was secretly talking about everything in the Xu family, his face was silent, looking around and admiring the octagonal pavilion, and saw that the surroundings were planted with all kinds of tea trees, the clear water surrounded the fence, and the green shade was full of pavilions.
On the forehead of the door, there are three words in the big book Green Wave Pavilion, and the couplets on both sides: the smoke of cooking tea after the rain is green, and the game in front of the window is still cold.
Xu Hai took the opportunity to whisper to Xu Hao: "Second uncle, his old man doesn't want to split up, and he scolded you for not being filial yesterday." It is said that the elders are all built here, how can they be separated from each other? ”
Xu Hao nodded, saying that since the cheap father became the grandfather of the country, the whole person has changed, and he is no longer the person who was cautious and open-minded in everything, who made the ordinary suddenly occupy a prominent position for most of his life, and in the face of everyone's compliments, he has power and money in his hands, how many people in ancient times could be indifferent?
But Xu Hao knew about the separation. It's not just a whim. I heard Xu Hai say: "The old lady is not very reluctant, but the three ladies agree with this, who let our family now rest under the nose of the old lady, and the many mouths are mixed into endless quarrels." Too many people are dissatisfied. It would be better to separate from each other to calm everyone down. ”
Xu Hao said: "It's not nice to say. Now the three housekeepers and most of the housekeepers are loyal to the second room, and the two wives have to inform my mother of everything, how can they be happy? Finally, our brothers became relatives. has become a mother-in-law, who is willing to stand in front of his daughter-in-law and listen to reprimands at every turn? After moving, you can take care of your own property, and every year you will share tens of thousands of taels of silver, why not? ”
Xu Hai sighed: "Originally, I couldn't figure it out, thinking that the third brother didn't want us to be the younger brothers, but later people still said that they couldn't blindly complain about their brothers, since ancient times, they have a family and a business, do they have to rely on this side to live if they have children?" After splitting the family, it is also a brother who has broken bones and tendons, how can the third brother and sister-in-law ignore us? ”
Xu Hao was relieved: "That's the truth, a family will always have to spread out, you have a wife now and will have children in the future, you have to plan more for your wife and children." It doesn't matter if you don't want to be an official, the separation of the family is close at hand, and you can help your sisters-in-law take care of the family business with your heart, just tell me what you need. ”
This Zhong said: "The word 'green wave' is not only novel, but it has already said all the scenery here, this must be the third sister-in-law's big stroke?" ”
Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "Although I drafted this name, the words were written by your third brother." ”
Zhong said: "It turned out to be from the third brother and three sisters-in-law, according to me, these many tea trees and green shade, although the word 'Ning Cui' can be inscribed, but it can't be said that the green water in this area, the word green wave will be the meaning of trees and water, all of which are always included." Therefore, it can be said that both writing and writing are beautiful. ”
Xu Hao shook his head slightly, and said to Xu Hai: "You have to work hard, your wife is a talented woman, and she is also the kind that can speak, read more books in the future, so as not to be scolded and think it is a praise for you." ”
Recently, everyone in the family has been in the eyes of money, or they will be all hobbyed by Xu Hao's close ink black, even Mu Ningxue, who is a young man, is not exempt from vulgarity, and recently fell in love with physical chemistry, and today I saw my younger brothers and sisters talking elegantly as scholars, and I couldn't help but feel very interesting for a while.
Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "The word Ning Cui is far more novel than the name Green Wave, and the words are also elegant. ”
Hearing this, Xu Hao sighed to his younger brother and said, "Did you hear that? Your sister-in-law is secretly counting my words are not good-looking, and she is turning a corner to laugh at people. ”
The girls were busy at the bottom of the stairs, or drawing water, or burning the stove, a few tea-picking, and a few cups, and then they came up after a while. I saw that the tender color was too green, which was really enviable. As soon as you enter the mouth, it is fragrant and penetrates the spleen, which is very different from the tea you eat in the past.
Zhong smiled: "I have tasted all kinds of fragrant tea since I was a child, and this is the first time I have tasted this tea, but I hate that it is too late." ”
Yuan glanced at her and didn't speak, Lu Zhu shook his head and said: "As soon as I saw the red leaves, I hated to see each other too late, and I hated to eat tea too late, so it seems that the new sister-in-law is the first hated person in the world." ”
I think that there is not much politeness between the Xu family for a long time, because Zhong Keren is a little unaccustomed to being too attentive because she entered the garden for the first time, but everyone understands that she is from a small family, and she has entered the rich and glorious Xu family, so she can't be harsh on others.
And the Zhong family is still a child in the end, and there are people who are anxious to slap the family, Hongye smiled: "Others hate deeply, so they are all hidden in their hearts, but the new sister-in-law is not a shallow hate, so it comes out of the mouth." Saying this, Zhong's Luzhu and the others all laughed.
In fact, Zhong was also in a hurry, and said: "This tea is not only fragrant in leaves, but also sweet in water, I really envy you for always enjoying such blessings." ”
Mu Ningxue explained: "This tea tree is planted by the original owner, I can't wait to sit back and enjoy it, it is said that from all over the country to find all kinds of good tea seeds to plant, I don't know how many plants died, it took more than 20 years to have this achievement." ”
Momiji asked, "Why didn't you plant a live tree at that time because it was so slow?" ”
Zhong was proud. Hurriedly teased: "Sister didn't know this reason, the tea tree is not as good as it is a tree, it can be transplanted to live, and it is not a single plant planted in a thousand plants, so the ancients called it 'next tea', which means that it can not be moved again next time." ”
Xu Cuitao, who had never spoken, raised her eyebrows and asked: "I have heard that there are so many names of tea that I can't remember them all for a while, and according to Guo Puzhi: 'Those who pick early are called tea.'" The late picker is called tea'. Nowadays, it is collectively referred to as tea in the morning and evening. When it comes to tea, it is not beneficial except for quenching thirst. The Materia Medica says, 'Those who drink often remove human fat.' It's skinny'. If people are too addicted to tea. There are all kinds of diseases. Therefore, it is better to drink more than less. ”
Xu Hao really doesn't have much research on tea, just a cow drink, and then the future generations often speculate how much money is a tael. The common people can't afford to drink the so-called best, it is purely a cheating of money, so the composition is elegant and noble, tea is originally a drink that quenches thirst and is beneficial to the body and can kill time, it can be a culture, but it is disgusting as a treasure to show off. Nowadays, those corrupt officials and well-known beasts are not worthy of talking about tea from their ancestors.
Zhong knows a lot about tea, and said with a smile: "This is very true, and at this time, the less real tea, the more fake tea, even if it is real tea, if you drink excessively, morning and evening, before you get old, your vitality will be damaged, your essence and blood will gradually disappear, causing vomiting, or becoming swollen, and suffering from other internal diseases, all of which are harmed by tea."
However, the addict still does not know it, and he does not regret it when he gets sick. In the ancients, there were many people who prolonged their lives, and today's people have few longevity, all because of the use of tea and wine, etc., which are increasingly harmed, and then their life is consumed. Therefore, Sister Cuitao's words are a conclusion that is not easy through the ages, and there are many people who are confused. It is not like those who are addicted to wine and tea, when they hear this, they are paranoid and fallacious, debate in every way, or even laugh and joke, and the customs are changed for a long time. Even if you say it, who will believe it? ”
Xu Hao didn't expect that his younger siblings really had some theories, but he wanted to ask but didn't dabble much, so he felt that he couldn't ask the point.
However, Mu Ningxue talked about sex and said: "The tea admonition is cloudy: in addition to stagnation and dissipation, although it is good for a while, it will hurt the essence and separate the blood, and the harm for life will be great." If you benefit, you will be attributed to the power of tea, and if you are in trouble, you will not be a tea disaster. Although soaked and greasy, the world is indispensable without tea, if you drink without taboo, its harm is not shallow, because it is also called "poisonous olive". The first taste of the cover olive is extremely bitter, and the sweet taste is felt after a long time, while the tea is sweet after the first drink, and it is harmful after a long time, so it is called 'poisonous olive'. ”
Xu Hao only listened to it with a look of shame, how could he dare to say something ugly? and Xu Hai, who also threw himself at the women, glanced at each other, and the brothers picked up the teacups with dignity, but they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.
Hongye asked shamelessly: "Sister-in-law said that there are a lot of fake teas, I don't know what to do instead?" Has this fake tea been around since ancient times, or has it only recently come out? ”
Zhong felt that he had met a confidant, and said energetically: "Fake tea has existed since ancient times, and Zhang Hua Youyun in the Western Jin Dynasty's "Naturalist Chronicles" 'drinking real tea makes people sleep less', which can be seen that there has been fake tea since ancient times." Moreover, medical books still contain 'a lot of fake tea that is unbearable for medicine'. ”
After a little relief, Zhong said: "Nowadays, in Zhejiang and other places, there are many people who use willow leaves to make tea, but fortunately, willow leaves are not poisonous, so it is not much hindering to eat some occasionally." Just because of the cunning and insatiable greed of human nature, it is reported that there are hundreds of shops in Wumen and other places recently, and the brewed tea leaves are then dried, and all kinds of medicinal materials are used to make them the same as new tea. Do you think about this, hateful or hateful? ”
Xu Hao secretly said that he had been defeated, and saw Hongye squinting and asking, "What materials are used?" How to make it? ”
Zhong replied: "It is said that it is made of orpiment, cyanine, plaster, herring gall, cypress juice and the like. ”
Xiangyu, who listened quietly for a long time, said thoughtfully: "I know the Tao, the one who uses the female yellow is also lewd with its sexual lewdness, and the tea sex is also lewd, and the two lewdness are combined, although it is the evening tea, it is not the same as the principle of early spring." Those who use the blue flower cover take the meaning of the green and beautiful color, and those who use the cypress juice use the fragrance of the fragrance, but I don't know what is the reason for the use of herring gallbladder? ”
Wipe! Xu Hao was really dumbfounded, and secretly said Isn't this a group of profiteers who have been cultivated alive? These talented women in all aspects come together, if they really want to harm the people, I am afraid that no one in the world can stop this group of sisters.
Zhong discussed with great interest: "I'm afraid that I will first remove its fishy taste and extract its bitterness." “
Not to mention that Xu Hao only felt creepy for a while, Xiangyu here muttered: "The nature of orpiment is extremely poisonous, and the fire can be compared to arsenic, so it is used in combination with gypsum to detoxify it, and it can make the tea white-frost polish, how is this a play?" If a person drinks regularly, how can he not vomit in abdominal pain? ”
Xu Hao sighed secretly in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that he would never dare to offend the women in the family casually, otherwise his life would be ruined!
With an idea, Xu Hao shouted: "Tomorrow is my birthday, don't forget to come and give me a gift, birthday greetings." ”
Mu Ningxue said: "Don't be ashamed, you are such an adult and ask your sisters to give gifts." ”
Xu Hao said confidently: "I haven't been at home for the past few years, how many good things have I received less?" On the contrary, I keep sending out the baby, it's too much of a loss, I have to save money for the child, and I can marry my eldest sister's ugly girl for my son in the future. ”
Everyone laughed, only Zhong Keren stared blankly at the third brother who was originally like a god, and only felt that the idol he worshipped in his heart collapsed in an instant. (To be continued......)
