Chapter 703: Tea and Salt


Chapter 703 Cha and Yan Lujiao looked at them with a smile and said, "I don't know if it's my sister right now, don't be busy with the name first." ”Sanbao looked at Lu Jiao seriously with a small face and said: "Mother, prepare first, if it is my sister who is born at that time, and I am not in a hurry, we will set the name first, it's okay," Sibao nodded vigorously: "Yes, mother, this is the name I gave my sister, you listen, Linglong, Lingyue, is it particularly good." ”Lu Jiao couldn't do anything about them, and was about to take a closer look at their names, when Feng Zhi walked in outside the door and reported: "My lord, madam, Steward Xiao sent someone to report that the tea farmers over Huayun Mountain came to see your lordship." ”Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao glanced at each other, and Lu Jiao opened her mouth and asked, "What do you want to see the tea farmer doing?"

”Xie Yunjin said: "It should have come to thank me, the political envoy found out that the Lin Governor's Mansion suppressed a large amount of tea silver money from the tea farmers, so he subsidized them with thirty taels of silver per household, and they should be very happy." ”Lu Jiao nodded, and suddenly thought of something about tea, the tea leaves of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not have the exquisite stir-frying and finishing method of later generations, and the current tea leaves, the process is extremely simple, directly pick the tea home, heat it with a tool and dry it naturally to make tea, and the taste of the tea is greatly reduced.Lu Jiao thought about it and looked at Xie Yunjin and said: "Yunjin, the current tea process is too simple, so the taste effect of brewing is not good, we can teach tea farmers a set of frying and finishing methods, so that the tea leaves are made with a strong tea fragrance and a taste that is at least a few grades higher than the original." ”As soon as Lu Jiao said this, Xie Yunjin knew that Lu Jiao's tea in their time was much better than the current tea process, and he immediately looked at Lu Jiao and asked, "Do you have any relevant books?"

”Lu Jiao thought for a while and said uncertainly: "There should be, even if there isn't, I still remember some, and I'll tell you when the time comes." ”Xie Yun nodded happily when he heard this, then stood up and prepared to go to the front to greet the tea farmer: "You mother and son are playing here, I'll come back immediately." ”Lu Jiao and the four little ones nodded, and as soon as their father left, a few little guys chased after Lu Jiao again and asked her to agree with their name.Lu Jiao thought for a while and said, "In this way, aren't there two little babies in my mother's belly?"

The baby needs two big names, two small names, you are exactly four people, each of you will give the baby one, as for whether to take a big name or a small name, let's draw lots to decide, what do you think?

”Lu Jiao This is the fairest thing to do, and the four little ones agreed, but the four little guys quickly reacted: "Isn't that dad unable to take it?"

”Lu Jiao said with a smile: "The four of you were named by him before, so this time it's your turn to take it." ”The four little guys were overjoyed and unanimously agreed with Lu Jiao's decision, and finally Lu Jiao asked people to make a few small paper balls for the four of them to catch.In the end, the two treasures and the three treasures are small names, and the big treasures and four treasures are big names.The four little ones immediately began to think hard about naming their sisters, always feeling that the few they had named before were not ideal.Lu Jiao looked at them like this, and said funny: "Don't be in a hurry, think slowly, my sister hasn't been born yet." ”The four little ones are finally in no hurry.When Xie Yunjin came back and knew the names of the two children, he didn't have any share, and his face was long.The four little ones ran away with a smoke, anyway, the things that my mother said would not be changed.In the room, Xie Yun looked at Lu Jiao and protested and said, "The child I gave birth to, why did you let those four stinky boys get up." ”Lu Jiao looked at him funny: "Then what do you say?"

If you don't give them a name, they will be unhappy, and fortunately there are two, two of the four people have a nickname and two have a big name, so it is not easy to contradict each other, you don't want to make the four little guys unhappy. ”When Lu Jiao said this, Xie Yunjin was speechless, but he was still not in a good mood.Lu Jiao hurriedly asked him about the tea farmer: "How is it?"

They are here to thank you. ”"yes, I sent a bunch of stuff here."

Lu Jiao immediately disapproved and said: "They are bitter enough, you can't ask for their things." ”"It's all melons, fruits and vegetables, I don't want them, they put down their things and run away, forget it, I'll teach them the technique of roasting tea when I go back, in that case, their tea will sell for a lot of money in the future."

After Xie Yun finished speaking, Lu Jiao thought of the salt from the salt field, the salt in Da Zhou at the moment is the kind of coarse salt with large particles of yellow, if it is made into white salt containing potassium like snow, this matter is only afraid that it will alarm the entire Da Zhou, Lu Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this."

Yun Jin, have you ever seen a kind of salt, as fine and white as snow?"

As a southerner, Xie Yunjin has never seen snow, but after the last time he entered Beijing to take the exam, it snowed in the capital, and he was shocked when he saw such snow.Now hearing Lu Jiao say that salt is like snow, Xie Yunjin felt amazed just thinking about it, and he turned around and looked at Lu Jiao excitedly: "You mean, you can process salt like snow, white and fine." ”"Yes."

When Xie Yunjin heard her words, his whole person became excited, pacing back and forth in the room, but slowly calmed down."

Even if we have a salt-making method, we can't report this technology, prosperity must decline, our status is so low, if we do too many things, it will inevitably cause His Majesty to be jealous, maybe it may be liquidated because of this, so this salt-making technology, it is better to hand it over to King Yan, let King Yan present it, so that King Yan's reputation will become more and more prosperous, and in the end he will become the candidate for the prince of Da Zhou."

Lu Jiao nodded in agreement, but she turned around and looked at Xie Yunjin and said: "Although we are bent on pushing King Yan to the throne, but King Yan will become His Majesty in the future, which does not mean that he is not afraid of us in his heart, so we don't have to be too popular in front of King Yan." ”Xie Yunjin immediately nodded: "Don't worry, I will restrain myself in the future, but now is the time when I want to make meritorious contributions in front of King Yan, so we will be fine for the time being." ”Lu Jiao nodded and didn't say anything more, she believed that Xie Yunjin had his own plans.Before going to bed, Lu Jiao quietly entered the space, rummaged for a long time, and found a book about tea, in fact, there was no separate mention of tea-making technology, but some of them were mentioned, and only these were enough.In addition, I found a book on salt making, which wrote about various methods of salt preparation.Xie Yunjin saw these two books, and couldn't put them down and read them in his hand, Lu Jiao looked at him, and estimated that he wouldn't sleep tonight, but he didn't urge him, he drank a lot of spiritual spring water from her, and it was not a matter of not sleeping for a night or two nights.Lu Jiao slept happily by herself.
