Chapter 29 Pulling the Prince as a Coolie, Secret Weapon
After Qin Yu finished changing his clothes, he went straight to the front hall to eat.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Xiao Nan who was like a hill.
Hey~
Xiao Nan is using Prince Qin’s Mansion as his long-term canteen!
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu, showing off his rice and asked: "Good morning, Lao Qin! Where are we going today?"
Qin Yu sat opposite Xiao Nan, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "I really want to do something fun today, so just come with me after eating."
I heard it was fun.
Xiao Nan's eyes were bright, and he nodded like a fool, "Okay, okay, I will mess with you."
moment.
Breakfast is over.
Qin Yu took Xiao Nan to the backyard.
We happen to be short of a coolie today, and Xiao Nan is the perfect person to be a coolie.
Qin Yu wants to make tea today.
The reason why he is confident is that people in this era simply do not know the correct way to drink tea.
Although Camellia oleifera soup has a reason for the existence of Camellia oleifera soup.
But Qin Yu doesn’t mind unblocking another tea-drinking culture in advance.
As a senior time travel fan in his previous life, he knew the "Time Travel Encyclopedia" by heart.
So this kind of thing is easy to do.
"Old Qin, what are we going to do?"
Xiao Nan followed Qin Yu, looking left and right, confused.
Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Your Highness, if we do this well, if Your Majesty doesn't praise you, I will write the character Qin backwards!"
"Hiss~"
Xiao Nan took a breath and looked at Qin Yu in surprise, "Really!? Is what you said true!?"
Qin Yu nodded, "Of course it's true. When did I lie to you?"
Xiao Nan's eyebrows were filled with joy and he kept nodding, "Old Qin, I know how good you are to me! Tell me, what do you want me to do!?"
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Yu asked: "By the way, last night, I sent someone to ask His Highness to inquire..."
Xiao Nan suddenly realized, "Oh, you're talking about the tea from the treasury. I asked around. Among the teas from the treasury, Fu'an Longque is the most popular. I don't know why all the places are paying for this bad tea this year."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, understanding in his heart, and then pointed to the shed not far away, "Your Highness, put the tea leaves on those big dustpans into sacks and carry them over!"
"Okay!" Xiao Nan responded and hurriedly ran towards the shed.
Xiao Nan packed the tea leaves and carried them over.
Qin Yu took him to a deserted courtyard.
Xiao Nan was very confused as he followed Qin Yu with tea leaves on his back, but he didn't ask and chose to believe Qin Yu.
Entered the yard.
Qin Yu closed the door, then poured a sack of Huangshan Qingfeng tea onto several large bamboo sieves.
The breeze of Huangshan Mountain and the clouds and mist of Huangshan Mountain are both green tea.
Tea in this era did not have any processing technology, and was collected and stored directly.
But tea leaves must be processed to finally bring out the taste of tea.
This is also the basic need for making tea.
Green tea processing requires picking, withering, fixing, rolling and drying.
There is no need to pick green.
Withering means spreading them flat to dry in the sun. Qin Yu did this last night.
Next comes finishing, rolling and drying.
Technology in this era has great limitations.
In addition, what Qin Yu produced was the first batch of deeply processed green tea, so he didn't need to pay so much attention to details, it was just fine.
Whatever he produces is what he produces, and no one can compare with him.
Qin Yu took a basin and picked out high-quality tea leaves, and said by the way: "Your Highness, light a fire."
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Old Qin."
There is a stove in the small courtyard, which is why Qin Yu chose this place.
Killing is the most critical step in processing, which evaporates the water in the tea leaves, inactivates enzyme activity, prevents enzyme reactions, and maintains the color and flavor of green tea.
Qin Yu didn't have so many tools, so he just violently stirred things up and finished it.
moment.
Xiao Nan lit the fire.
Qin Yu cleaned the large iron pot, then poured the selected tea into the pot to finish.
Xiao Nan stood aside and scratched his head, "Old Qin, this... what's so fun about frying tea leaves? Why are the tea leaves still fried!"
While Qin Yu was stir-frying, he looked at Xiao Nan and said seriously: "Your Highness, this is a business secret. I can't tell you yet, but don't worry, I will definitely give you a surprise when the time comes."
"Also, don't tell anyone about the fried tea."
Qin Yu looked serious.
Xiao Nan stood up straight in a hurry and said seriously: "Don't worry, Old Qin, I will listen to you! I know you are doing it for my own good!"
Qin Yu smiled and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, just wait and see, I will make you feel proud!"
Xiao Nan was very excited when he heard this, and his blood was boiling, "Old Qin, you are so loyal!"
He now places all his hopes on Qin Yu.
moment.
Finished.
Qin Yu took Xiao Nan and began to knead the tea leaves, similar to kneading dough. The main purpose was to destroy the tea leaf tissue and make the tea leaves easy to bubble and durable.
Next comes drying.
It's just a matter of drying and frying.
This job looks simple, but it is really not easy to do.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan worked hard for a whole day before they finished the pot.
Sunset dusk.
Xiao Nan is ready to leave.
Qin Yu looked at him and said slowly: "Your Highness, please have dinner at the mansion before leaving."
Xiao Nan waved his hand, "No, my father said that although he doesn't care about me this month, he must return to the East Palace before dark."
"Old Qin, I really enjoyed working with you today. I'll come back tomorrow."
Qin Yu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Your Highness, please slow down."
The two people talked.
A group of Yulin guards appeared in front of Prince Qin's palace, coming to take Xiao Nan back.
Go to the door.
Xiao Nan suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Yu, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Old Qin! I'm leaving!"
Qin Yu waved his hands subconsciously, feeling a little moved in his heart.
Prince Xiao Nan is a true-hearted and loyal person, and he truly regards him as his confidant and brother.
Today he hired Xiao Nan to work as a coolie for a day, and before leaving, he thanked him profusely.
He now finally understood why Emperor Wei and Queen Chen were so worried about Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan is simple and kind.
It's really not possible without a smart person to take care of him.
Qin Yu is a very simple person. Others respect him a foot, and he respects others a foot.
If Xiao Nan treats him as a brother, then he will never treat Xiao Nan badly.
We must bring him out!
Xiao Nan leaves.
Qin Yu went to the front hall carrying tea.
Zhang's Trading Company encountered such a big crisis this time, and he could not just sit back and ignore it.
This is related to his happy life in the future.
Moreover, the Fan family has repeatedly opposed the Qin Palace.
If Qin Yu doesn't let them pay the price!
Then he really deserves to be the second son of Prince Qin.
Qin Zhang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask: "Yu'er, is it possible that you have really figured out a way?"
In fact, she didn't take Qin Yu's words seriously at all, and was still thinking about how she would tell Empress Chen about this when she entered the palace tomorrow.
After all, there is no money and no goods. Unless someone has the Midas touch to turn gold into gold, it will be useless for anyone to come.
Qin Wenyao also frowned, "Yu'er, your mother is already annoying enough. Don't make fun of us!"
Although Zhang Zhixin said nothing, his eyes were full of suspicion.
