The commander stood up and glared at his lieutenant, "If you go out with him today, don't come back again!"
The deputy general shook his head quickly: "Of course I am following your command, Lord Commander."
Feng Yunxian watched the two people pointing at each other, just shook his head, and stood up: "Then I'll leave."
"Stop, who asked you to leave?" Compared to himself who had just been scolded by the emperor, the commander certainly knew who liked the emperor more.
If Feng Yunxian were to expose this matter to His Majesty, he would definitely not benefit.
Feng Yunxian stopped, with a faint smile on his face: "Happy cooperation."
When Mu Xuanyi returned home, the girls who had been sent out for training also came back one after another.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone is allowed to come back to reunite with their families. But their families are now far apart from them. Unless something unexpected happens, they will never see each other again in the rest of their lives.
The girls looked a little lonely to the naked eye, but after seeing Mu Xuanyi come back, they all smiled at her.
"Happy New Year, miss."
"Miss, will it affect your New Year celebrations if we are here? I'll ask the sisters to go to the backyard."
"Miss……"
A large group of girls swarmed up and surrounded Mu Xuanyi.
Mu Xuanyi listened to their chatter and turned back one by one.
"Happy New Year to everyone. You have worked hard during this period of study. Since the New Year is now celebrated, just take a good rest at home."
"You are now considered my family, so there is no reason for you to hide. I will ask the people in the kitchen to prepare more meals later, and we will have a lot of fun together as a family."
It was very hard for these girls to leave their hometowns, and now that it was the Chinese New Year, Mu Xuanyi certainly would not leave them alone.
The girls, who were originally full of anxiety and expectations, suddenly burst into cheers and couldn't be more grateful to Mu Xuanyi.
During the meal, they each performed the skills they had learned, which were all about making tea. Their movements were elegant, and the brewed tea was fragrant. Mu Xuanyi tasted it, and this was something she felt
Among the teas I have drunk, it is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches.
but……
"Are all tea leaves like this?" She thought of the milk tea and fruit tea she had drunk in modern times. They all had a good taste. If they could be reproduced here...
"Well, it's slightly bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste is long and sweet, and the taste is very good." During this period of time, Mrs. Zheng followed Mu Xuanyi. She didn't have much to do on weekdays, but she really developed a bit of the temperament of a lady.
Seeing the doubtful expressions on the others' faces, Mu Xuanyi also shook his head: "Bring me some tea later. I want to try it myself when I go back."
These tea leaves were given by the teacher who trained them, and there was a lot of them. Mu Xuanyi wanted to take some, and everyone readily agreed and donated their tea leaves.
Seeing more than 20 hands stretched out in front of her, Mu Xuanyi quickly shook her head: "I only need a little, not so much."
These girls were so enthusiastic. She sighed as she casually took the tea leaves sent by one of them and put them away.
The girls who were not taken care of by her all looked disappointed. In order not to make them too sad, Mu Xuanyi could only symbolically take a little from each person's tea and put them together.
"Although it's already the first day of the Lunar New Year, we can still get together tonight to chat and eat fruits, as if today is New Year's Eve."
She didn't consider these girls last night, but went to Feng Mansion with Feng Yunxian. Seeing everyone being sent back today, she felt a little guilty and took the initiative to make such a suggestion.
The girls all raised their hands in approval. While they were preparing the venue, Mu Xuanyi asked for a stove from the kitchen and returned to her residence to start tinkering.
She found some fruits and wanted to mix their juice with the tea leaves to see if she could make fruit tea, but at the first step, she encountered a problem.
"How to squeeze this juice?"
There was no juicer here, and it was not very clean to squeeze it with bare hands. Mu Xuanyi stared at the fruit in front of her with difficulty.
Seeing that Mu Xuanyi was so worried, the maid next to her boldly put forward her own idea.
"Why don't you try stone grinding? Even beans can be ground into powder. This kind of fruit should also be able to be grinded into powder?"
Mu Xuanyi's eyes lit up immediately. Why didn't she think of this?
However, she couldn't pull the larger stone mills. Mu Xuanyi found the housekeeper, and after a quarter of an hour of communication, she successfully pulled out a smaller stone mill from the warehouse, and then took it back excitedly.
courtyard.
Now the juice was available, but it was not suitable to be poured directly onto the tea leaves. Mu Xuanyi specially asked a girl to come over and ask. After the girl knew that she wanted to mix the two together, she was also very interested in this and asked her.
She conducted several sets of controlled experiments together.
Tea leaves soaked in juice still have a bitter taste when brewed, and the aroma of the juice has not penetrated at all.
However, if you brew the tea first and then mix it with the juice, it will affect the taste of the tea and make it somewhat different.
After several ideas were ruthlessly defeated by reality, Mu Xuanyi pushed his hand away and sat back in frustration.
"It's too difficult to do."
Originally, she wanted to make fruit tea and launch it as a new product that was not available in other teahouses, thereby increasing the uniqueness of the teahouse. Who knew that this thing was not as simple as she thought.
"If I want to brew it with tea, wouldn't it be better to make it dry?" Seeing that she was in such a bad mood, the girl was so anxious that she finally found a reliable one after thinking for a long time.
idea.
Mu Xuanyi felt that the girl was right, so she immediately dried the fruits. However, these fruits were very fresh now, and the sunlight was not that good now. If she wanted to make them into dried fruits, it would take at least a week to dry them.
This was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. After realizing this, Mu Xuanyi no longer dwelled on the fruit tea, she just threw the things aside and went to the front yard to set up the venue with the girls.
Zheng said she wanted to give gifts to the girls, so she stayed in the room and Mu Xuanyi did not disturb her.
When it was time to eat in the evening, the food was placed on the long table and everyone sat together happily. Mrs. Zheng arrived late.
The maid next to her carried a large bag, which was bulging with a lot of things.
"Juniors all have to receive red envelopes during the New Year. It may be a little late for me to give them to you now, but it also represents my feelings. I hope you won't dislike it."
