Chapter 37 Scented Tea
The third sister is under a lot of pressure. The 28-year-old boy is arranged to be married unless he gets married. What about the 23-year-old girl? The times are limited here. How many people can transcend the times and be brave enough to be themselves?
Fang Yuan could only give some advice and said to the third sister, "Sister, don't be anxious. I... I'll find a time to ask you. We've already figured it out, and then let's talk about the next thing."
After returning to her house, Su Yan was cleaning up the house. When she saw Fang Yuan coming back, she quickly twisted a cold towel on Fang Yuan. Seeing that Fang Yuan's face was covered with sweat, she said a little distressedly, "Hurry up and wipe it. It's hot outside, isn't it?"
Fang Yuan took the towel and wiped his face, then said, "It's not bad. It won't get hot until August or September. It's not bad now. Wife, what do you think I did today?"
"Didn't you go to Qianjiang Brigade with your second brother to look at bricks? By the way, where is your second brother? Why are you the only one back?" Su Yan asked curiously, while bringing over an enamel jar, which was cold inside.
The tea is also covered with a cattail fan to prevent dust from falling and small insects and other things getting in.
"Second brother is with the Qianjiang Brigade and will come back with Brick tomorrow." Fang Yuan said.
Su Yan handed the enamel jar to Fang Yuan and said in disbelief, "Have you bought the bricks?"
"How can I tell you? Hey, you will know tomorrow." Fang Yuan looked careless, picked up the enamel jar and drank it for a while. This enamel jar was bought when he and Su Yan got married. It had a big
Red Double Happiness.
The tea is ordinary chrysanthemum tea, which Su Yan brought from her natal family. The Su family had a tea shop in their old days, but it later declined, but the father-in-law’s ability to make tea by hand is still there, and he can’t get serious tea anymore.
, just pick some wild flowers to make scented tea.
Wild chrysanthemums, Senecio, and honeysuckle are all good for making scented tea. Wild chrysanthemums relieve inflammation, have aphthous ulcers, and have bad breath. Drinking wild chrysanthemum tea is best.
Thousand miles of light can improve eyesight, and honeysuckle is also a good tea for clearing away heat. This thing also has a name that everyone knows. It is actually honeysuckle, which is also a traditional Chinese medicine.
However, what my father-in-law makes most now is wild chrysanthemums. I have to wait two years for Senecio and honeysuckle, and I will recommend them to my father-in-law before I start trying to make those two kinds of scented tea.
The cooled wild chrysanthemum tea has a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth, so it should be kept in June or July, otherwise it is really hard to drink cold wild chrysanthemum tea. This thing itself is cold in nature, but Fang Yuan is a young man with a strong firepower, and the weather is cold.
It's hot, so drinking cool wild chrysanthemum tea is just right.
"It's great!" Fang Yuan burped after drinking, and smiled at Su Yan, "My father-in-law, this scented tea is amazing."
Su Yan smiled and said, "The conditions are not good now. My father said that when he was young and the family was not in ruins, rock sugar could be put in the tea at that time. He said it was for young ladies from rich families."
"We will also put rock sugar in the future." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Don't you dare. If you drink tea with rock sugar, then you are no longer an old landlord. Be careful of being criticized!" Su Yan said in a low voice. At their age, both of them have experienced those special years. They have seen those people living in cows.
He looked miserable wearing a high hat.
Fang Yuan smiled and didn't say much about this topic. In fact, the landowners in the old days didn't live as comfortably as they imagined. Even if they could eat and drink enough, they still didn't dare to let go of the rice and noodles, let alone drink tea.
Adding rock sugar, as my wife said, you have to be an official to be able to drink tea with rock sugar.
After taking a short rest, Fang Yuan said hello to Su Yan and carried a few eel cages out. Fang Wen was playing with the dogs in the yard when he saw Sixth Brother carrying the eel cages out. It was as if there were springs under his feet.
It suddenly jumped up.
"Slow down!" Fang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said, "I'll just catch a few today. If I catch them, they won't be sold. Are you sure you're going with me?"
"Fourth brother, what you said is that you look down on people!" Fang Wen rolled his eyes at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, my fault, let's go dig up the earthworms first."
"No need." Fang Wen dragged Fang Yuan to the kitchen and pulled out a small basin from under the firewood. It turned out to be chopped earthworms, and even the smelly mud was mixed.
"You kid, this is the only thing left in your mind day by day, right?" Fang Yuan was speechless, this kid has done too much preparation.
"Otherwise, I'd have nothing to do!" Fang Wen laughed.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I still have to send you to school, otherwise it won't be a problem to play around at home all day long."
Fang Wen said with a look of astonishment, "Fourth brother, I'm helping you, how can you repay kindness with enmity!?"
The two brothers put down seven or eight cages in total, and then packed up and went home. Early the next morning, Fang Yuan didn't even call Fang Wen when he got up, and he finished the seven or eight cages by himself.
The harvest from the eight cages was pretty good, with more than ten kilograms of goods, including eels and loaches. The river shrimps were a bit missing, so Fang Yuan simply picked them out and kept them at home for his family to eat.
I packed up the eels and loaches and put them in pots. This time there were few things and I could go directly to the city by bicycle, so I didn’t have to rush myself. When my wife and others got up, we all made porridge together. Fang Yuan started again
After eating a cornmeal pancake, I took out thirty yuan from the house and rode to the city.
After entering the city, Fang Yuan went straight to the mall. He had agreed with Xu Yan before that he would come to pick up semiconductors today, but he was recognized before he even entered the mall.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyan's younger brother, coming to see your sister again!?" The aunt asked with a smile, but Fang Yuan had no impression at all.
"Ah! Yes, are you busy?" Fang Yuan smiled.
The aunt glanced at the back seat of Fang Yuan's bicycle and saw the basin tied on the back seat. Her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "I'm giving your sister another eel! Oh, this is a good thing. You gave it to your sister before."
When I was there, I just listened to them saying that this thing was good."
Fang Yuan suddenly realized, good guy, this is what I couldn't get the day before yesterday. I left the jar to pick it up for myself. Before Fang Yuan could say anything, he saw Xu Yan coming out of the door in a hurry.
"Xiaoyuan is here. Why are you chatting here if you don't go in now?" Xu Yan asked with a smile.
Fang Yuan also smiled and said, "Have a chat with Auntie."
The aunt grabbed Xu Yan and whispered, "Xiaoyan, I'm usually quite nice to you! I'll give you some of your eel today. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I'll get her some good stuff to supplement her."
Xu Yan looked embarrassed and whispered, "Sister Zhang, it's not that I won't help you. My brother hasn't even promised to bring me anything, so how could I allow you to do so?"
"I can smell the fishy smell, can you please give me the right word?" The aunt was a little anxious.
Fang Yuan took down the basin and said to Xu Yan, "Sister, I went to buy some eels and loaches yesterday. I couldn't finish them all at home, so I brought some for you."
"Look, look." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Your brother is so kind to you, what a blessing!"
Xu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she could only look at Fang Yuan helplessly, and then said to Aunt Zhang, "Then help me take it to the back first. I'll take my brother to do some errands, and I'll share some with you later."
