(Thanks to Yell for his unique support, thank you!)

Ling Yun did not believe that the Sui people were born with heavy tastes. The reason why they used to make tea instead of making tea before the Song Dynasty was that the biggest reason was that people at that time did not master the skills of stir-frying tea. They could not stir-fry tea, but could only steam tea, which led to their tea being cooked but not brewed. Once this technical barrier was broken through, these loose tea pieces could produce a strong tea aroma, rather than tea granule powder that could only be used to add salt, ginger, and green onion to supplement the flavor.

As a feudal landlord class, at least his wife is a landlord and tyrant. Ling Yun doesn't need to worry about money on the surface. He lives a pampered life with food and clothes every day, and does not need to use money at all. However, Ling Yun stays in Gaojiazhuang and is unwilling to discuss rebellion, so it is okay to spend time under reform of this tea making technology.

Of course, this will never be just a waste of time. If the fried new tea really has a bright future as he expected, then it can be foreseeable that this will be a very promising project. Although Ling Yun may not worry about lacking money, he also knows that Gao Qianxue must need money, and it also requires a lot of money.

Anyone can rebel. As long as you are willing to sacrifice yourself and dare to take down the emperor, you can rebel and kill the officials to rebel. But if you want to succeed in rebelling, it is not that simple. First of all, there must be three prerequisites.

The three elements of rebellion are money, food, soldiers and public opinion. This has been the case in ancient and modern times. Rebellion is successful, and all three are indispensable.

Among these three things, money and food are the most important. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. Without money and food, it is impossible to recruit soldiers and horses. Without money and food, it is impossible to win people's hearts. If there is no money and food, it is difficult to even pull up a force. Buying people's hearts, recruiting soldiers and horses, preparing food, making weapons, and rewarding soldiers, all without money. Gao Qianxue was able to maintain this anti-Sui force all the time dependent on a smuggling channel between the Hu people in Northeast China that they have controlled for many years.

He also believed that the money and food needed to do these rebellious things was a bottomless pit. Moreover, this year the court issued a new order to ban large ships from entering the sea, and strengthened the investigation on the northern border, which was clearly a crackdown on smuggling. Others were not clear, but Ling Yun remembered it very clearly. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, a war finally broke out between the Great Sui and Goguryeo. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, King Goguryeo led tens of thousands of troops to invade western Liao, and then Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian transferred 300,000 troops to conquer Liao.

I dare not win and lose in this war. If this situation continues, the border blockade will only be more and more severe as the war becomes more and more serious. Gao Qianxue's smuggling business will definitely be hit in the future. Seeing that Gao Qianxue is actively engaged in Jiangnan now, the money she needs will only increase in the future. Ling Yun cannot help Gao Qianxue plan and command, but he can find a way to help him make some money. He believes that this tea stir-frying will be a very good start.

"Qinglian!" As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, the little girl was already looking at him like a deer. It was obvious that this little girl was very attentive to tea art, so she was very excited about the new tea making skills that Ling Yun mentioned.

"I will teach you a new tea-making technique, are you willing to learn it?" Mulan and Qinglian are both cute, but if the two girls are compared with the girls in the Red Chamber, then Mulan is the fierce Qingwen, and Qinglian is the gentle Hua Xiren, obedient and understanding. Such girls can always temper the Baijing into a soft finger. I have to say that Ling Yun still prefers Qinglian, which can make a man more confident.

Qinglian nodded.

“Can you buy newly picked tea now?”

Mulan rushed to reply, "Does my son-in-law want new tea? There is a tea garden in our village, and there is one of our tea gardens under the six peaks of Liuhe Mountain. A few days ago, I heard from the young executive that the tea garden had already had the first batch of new tea. If my son-in-law wants it, I will go and get some of it later."

The key to stir-frying tea is the pre-frying process of tea. Of course, Lingyun would not want to make tea cakes. However, when he heard that there were several local tea shops under Gaojiazhuang's name, he was still very happy. If there was a tea shop, there were ready-made tea pickers and new tea. Calculate the time, it just happened that Qingming Festival was just over and before the Grain Rain came. I missed the tea in the Ming Dynasty, but I still caught up with the tea in the rain.

He thought for a while and said to Mulan: "Well, I don't want the tea I've prepared. I want the newly picked tea leaves. It's best to send someone to the tea garden to pick a new batch of tea leaves as I ask."

"I arranged for someone to go to the tea shop and inform them to pick some new tea leaves."

"Well, you are ready to write down the new tea picking requirements, and I will send them to the tea shop to you for picking as required."

Ling Yun didn't know how the original tea was picked, but if you wanted to stir-fry tea, there were requirements for picking tea. When picking tea, it is best to use your index finger and thumb to hold the middle of the young stems between the tea leaves, and use the elastic force of the two fingers to pick the tea leaves. The picking time is also best from 12 noon to 3 pm. Moreover, the different tea picking parts are also different. Some pick one top bud and the first leaf next to the bud is called one heart and one leaf. Some pick one leaf more, called one heart and two leaves, and there are one heart and three leaves. The less picking, the higher the grade.

Ling Yun picked up a Liaodong Langhao and wrote with his pen. The pen fell on the paper and naturally wrote a beautiful small fly head calligraphy.

Mulan and Qinglian, who were grinding ink for Lingyun, looked at the ink words and their eyes were radiating. It was not easy to be a personal maid with a princess. Although they had never been in the Yecheng Palace, the women who taught them were really the female officials in the Qi Palace in Yecheng. They were not ordinary maids, and they could do it, even riding horses and shooting arrows. As soon as Lingyun's word came out, both girls were surprised. However, the two of them said nothing and quickly restrained their surprise.

Ling Yun lowered his head to write, but did not find the surprise of the two girls. In fact, he was writing while he was in amazement. He had practiced calligraphy in the past, but he could only say that he was at an average level. But as soon as he finished writing, he wrote a wonderful and strange calligraphy. He originally couldn't write, but his appreciation level was still very good. This word was a little better than the teacher who taught their calligraphy at the time, so he couldn't tell it. He was surprised that his body could ride a horse and martial arts, and he could write such good calligraphy. Is it really as Gao Qianxue and the others said, "This is a child of a big family?" But if this is the case, why would he be attacked? And after so long, Gaojiazhuang couldn't find out any relevant news?

After writing down the new tea picking process in detail, Ling Yun blew the ink marks, folded them up, and handed them over to Mulan.

He doesn't know what kind of tea is in Gaojia Tea Garden, but Yangzhou is a famous production area in the tea industry, so it is estimated that the tea will not be bad.

"Leave this tea picking process to the tea farm manager and ask him to pick a batch of new tea according to this method. They don't need to do any processing, just send it directly."

The two girls nodded together.

"Go."

After the two girls left together, Ling Yun remembered that the seriously injured Gao Ding had not woken up after the operation yesterday, so he went to the east wing.

When they arrived at the east wing, there were a large group of people sitting or standing in the corridor of the courtyard, basically all of them were guards of the Gao family. Most of them had been trained with Gao Ding before and had a good relationship. Gao B was also there, and he was temporarily transferred last night, and Gao Ding was also taken tormented for a long time. Otherwise, Ling Yun might have woken up long ago. Gao Yi saw Ling Yun appear and stood up immediately. He seemed a little embarrassed about Ling Yun.

He was still hostile to Ling Yun before, thinking that Ling Yun was unknown, and they were the adopted son of the Gao family, and they treated Gao Qianxue as if he were his own sister. Which brother would like his sister to marry an unknown stranger suddenly decided to marry an unknown stranger? However, when Gao Ding was injured that day and Uncle Qian had already said that he had no help, Ling Yun took action and found a way to save Gao Ding's life. Although Gao Ding was not awake, his breath was stable. Uncle Qian had seen it and said he was 90% sure he would wake up, but when he woke up, he said that he was fine. Moreover, when he was discussing this morning, the lady told everyone about Yi Feng's performance and attitude last night. Although some of the love words between the two had not been said, the words Yi Feng said to the princess still changed everyone's feelings about this new son-in-law. This is a man who is willing to advance and retreat with the Gao family, a man who makes the lady willing to really drag him down.

Gao Yi was once the imperial guard of Northern Qi, a generous man. After letting go of prejudice, he showed great heroism to Ling Yun.

He strode forward, bowed his knees and whipped his fist hard in his chest.

This great gift was not only for saving Gao Ding's kindness for him, but also for the loyal minister of the Gao family, who truly recognized Ling Yun, the new son-in-law. He did not treat him as a son-in-law, but truly regarded him as the male master of the Gao family.

Gao Yi's attitude surprised Ling Yun and was a little proud. Gao Yi's status in the village is not low. Even in front of Gao Qianxue, it is also the director-level personnel of the group. Such a core member's respect for him also means that his status in the village will be tangible in the future, and he will not be just a son-in-law who comes to the door.

Good things happened. Ling Yun went into the house to help Gao Ding check his body. Gao Ding woke up at this time. Although he was a little weak due to excessive blood loss, he really woke up, and his condition was good. After waking up, Gao Ding heard that the lady had married and saw this new son-in-law for the first time. Hearing that his life was saved by the new son-in-law, the tough and strong man opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun held Gao Ding's hand and smiled and said, "It's good to wake up. If you can wake up, it means it's okay. Next, as long as you rest with your peace of mind, you will be fully recovered in no time. If you survive a disaster, you will have good luck. In addition, Brother Ding doesn't have to worry about other things. The guests and brothers who are with you are nothing. That day, it was just a group of greedy clerks attacked, and it happened that Mr. Xiao was helping him. Now the guest and Brother Ding, your brothers are resting temporarily at Mr. Xiao's village and will come back in a few days."

After hearing this, Gao Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please rest well, I'll tell my wife, Uncle Gao and Uncle Qian, that they have woken up." Ling Yun patted Gao Ding's hand and comforted him.
