When Wang Shijing came back and opened the courtyard door, he smelled a strong smell of meat. Before he could make a sound, Wang Ni ran out of the house: "Father, you are back, my little dad made stewed pork."
Shao Yun'an followed and said, "Wash your hands and eat, I'll wait for you."
Wang Shijing's one-eyed eyes were filled with happiness. He put down the basket, picked up Nizi, and went into the kitchen.
"Wipe your eyes and face." Shao Yunan also entered the kitchen. Wang Ni, who got off her father, was going to get the rice steamer, Wang Qing came in at this time, Shao Yunan gave Wang Qing the rice steamer, and gave Wang Ni the plate with shredded potatoes. Wang Shijing was sweating all over his face, he took off the blindfold, Shao Yunan took a cloth towel from his hand, wrung it wet and wiped his eyes. The eyeball of Wang Shijing's left eye is blue-gray, and the pupil of the eye seems to be covered with a layer of blue-gray film, but there is no longer always dirt in the corner of the eye.
Wang Qing and Wang Ni thoughtfully brought the food into the room first, and waited for the father and the younger father to come in, and Wang Ni refilled the meal for the four of them. Wang Shijing bowed his waist and asked Shao Yunan to wipe his eyes. Shao Yun'an wiped it very carefully, and asked, "Can't you see it yet?" Shao Yun'an didn't know whether the Lingquan water could restore Wang Shijing's eyes. The most important thing is that Wang Shijing doesn't know the existence of space, and Shao Yun'an will still be contradictory.
"I still can't see, but my eyes don't hurt anymore. It used to be dark, but now it's a little gray. Maybe it will be better." Wang Shijing has accepted that he has become one-eyed blind now, but now, he has another some hope. He is 10 years older than Shao Yun'an, half of his face is disfigured, and he has two children with him. If his eyesight can be restored, he can at least make a little progress towards being worthy of Shao Yun'an.
"It's okay if it doesn't get better, as long as it doesn't get worse, but it does look much better than when I first saw it." Shao Yun'an didn't care if Wang Shijing could get better, he was afraid that his eyeballs would get worse and had to be removed, given the medical conditions here That would be quite dangerous, no one can operate on Wang Shijing.
After wiping Wang Shijing's eyes and leaving him to wash his face and wash his hands, Shao Yunan went into the room. Wang Shijing gently touched his left eye through the cloth towel, feeling warm in his heart. The daughter-in-law is sometimes very tough outside, but the daughter-in-law is very gentle and gentle to him. Such a gentle and capable daughter-in-law is his Wang Shijing's daughter-in-law. The corners of his mouth, which were always tightly pursed in and out on weekdays, slightly raised. Wang Shijing quickly wiped his face and washed his hands. He was hungry.
"Brother Qing, Nizi, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Good time (to eat)."
At the dinner table, except for Shao Yun'an, the father and son were all immersed in eating, like a starved ghost reincarnated. The rice with braised gravy is very fragrant, and there is an egg! Shao Yun'an was the one who ate the most elegantly. After studying for a whole morning and being greedy for a long time, the two children will only become hungrier.
Shao Yun'an was just one bowl of rice, Wang Qing ate two big bowls full, Nizi also ate a big bowl full, and the rest went into Wang Shijing's stomach. There is no need to wash the plate after licking it, and all the stewed meat is eaten. Wang Qing, who was full, patted his stomach and licked his mouth, but he didn't eat enough.
"I'll make it in two days. When you go to private school, my dad will make you a bento with braised pork."
"convenient?"
"Bento is a meal that comes in a food box."
Wang Qing immediately grinned: "Thank you little dad!"
"Go do the dishes."
Neither of the two children was unwilling, so they jumped off the kang and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. In the past, it was painful and sad for two children to do housework, but now, it is positive and happy for two children to do housework.
Wang Shijing breathed a sigh of relief, and put his arms around Shao Yunan's waist. Such a day was really unthinkable before. Shao Yun'an patted the hand wrapped around his waist: "Go, I'll make you tea."
"I'll make it." Wang Shijing thought it was chrysanthemum tea.
"It's our Longjing tea."
Wang Shijing immediately became interested. He really wanted to know what the tea made by Yun'an would taste like. When the two left the house, Shao Yunan shouted: "Brother Qing, Nizi, come over after washing the dishes, and Daddy will make some tea."
"Why!"
Entering his and Shao Yunan's room, Wang Shijing looked at Shao Yunan curiously when he saw the things on the kang table. Shao Yunan asked him to go to the kang, and said: "You have to be particular about making tea. Today I will show you how to drink this Longjing tea."
Wang Shijing showed a faint smile, took off his shoes and got on the kang. Shao Yun'an scooped up two spoonfuls of water and poured it into Zisha's handle pot, then lit the tea charcoal.
"This is a tea table," Shao Yunan touched the irregularly curved African huanghuali flower table, "This is the six gentlemen of the tea ceremony." Then he introduced the functions of the six gentlemen: "This is a tea stove, and the charcoal is burned in it. This is tea Lotus, the tea to be brewed also has the function of smelling the tea, you should smell it.”
Wang Shijing picked up the lotus tea, smelled it, and raised his single eye full of surprise: "It smells so good!"
If the tea is picked in spring, the tea leaves will be more fragrant. This tea smells fragrant, and it will have a different taste when brewed. This Longjing should be soaked in white porcelain or this kind of blue and white porcelain cup. The best vessel is transparent, but unfortunately there is no such thing. "
"Want that kind of crystal cup?"
Shao Yun'an was helpless: "How much does a crystal cup cost?"
Wang Shijing didn't know: "It's very expensive. We ordinary people can't touch it."
"So I chose this blue and white porcelain cup."
After washing the dishes, Wang Qing and Wang Ni went into the house and saw many things on the kang table on the bed of father and father. The two children were also curious. Asking the two children to come up, Shao Yun'an introduced again what he had just introduced to Wang Shijing. The big eyes of the two children had the same meaning—unclear!
Let Wang Qing and Nizi smell the aroma of the tea leaves and identify the appearance of Longjing tea leaves. Shao Yunan said: "Brother Qing, Nizi, no matter what kind of tea it is, brewing water is the most critical step. The better the water, the better the tea. The brewed tea tastes better."
The two children nodded straight.
"The second is the utensils for making tea. Different teas have different utensils for making tea. Drinking tea is not only about the taste, but also about the artistic conception."
nod nod.
Shao Yun'an explained to the two children how to brew Longjing tea. Apart from being unclear, the eyes of the two children were full of admiration. Daddy knew a lot! Wang Shijing's one-eyed eyes are also admiration for his daughter-in-law, and he is proud, but he also has a little worry. The daughter-in-law is too good to be snatched away.
Shao Yun'an spoke seriously, the two children listened carefully, and the water in the teapot boiled. Shao Yun'an took down the teapot and continued: "The water for brewing Longjing tea should not be too hot, and the boiled water should be left to cool down, otherwise the unique fragrance of Longjing tea will not be fully displayed. Let's see how Xiaopa makes it first. Then you have a try."
"Um!"
The water for brewing Longjing tea should be around 80 degrees. When the water temperature is almost the same, Shao Yunan removed the tea cover, let the two children and Wang Shijing feel the temperature of the water, then covered the tea cover, and put 3 grams of water in each tea bowl. For the left and right tea leaves, add water to 1/4 of the tea bowl first, so that the tea leaves can relax better. After the second brewing, it is necessary to raise the pot and make a high flush.
I saw Shao Yun'an holding the high teapot and pointing it at the tea bowl, and the steaming jet of water precisely poured into the cup wall. The green leaves rotate with the waves in the tea bowl, and the blue tea brings a refreshing visual enjoyment amidst the unique fragrance. A certain amount of water was poured into the four tea bowls, and one pot of water was just used up. Shao Yunan put the teapot on the stove and added cold water.
"Little Daddy, it's so pretty..." Nizi was dumbfounded, and Wang Qing was also dumbfounded when he looked at the teacup that Little Daddy put in front of him.
"Smell and see the difference between smelling the tea and smelling the tea directly, and then you can drink it."
The two children first watched how the little dad did it, and then learned to smell the tea in a decent manner, and then learned to taste the tea. Wang Shijing, a rough man, couldn't help becoming more refined in this situation. Following Shao Yun'an's posture, he picked up the tea bowl, smelled it first, then used the tea cover to push aside the tea leaves, and took a sip.
"It's delicious!" Wang Qing looked at his little father with admiration, "It's better than chrysanthemum tea!"
This Longjing tea is also a bit bitter, but it tastes exceptionally good. Wang Qing can't describe it, he can only use "delicious" to express the perception conveyed to him by the taste buds at the moment.
After Nizi took the third sip, Wang Shijing put down the tea bowl and praised his wife without hesitation: "It's really delicious. Even the generals when I was fighting must have never drunk this kind of tea."
Shao Yunan raised his chin: "Of course. I dare say that no one can make this kind of tea except me."
Wang Shijing, Wang Qing, and Wang Ni immediately filled up all their worship spots. Shao Yun'an asked directly: "Brother Jing, what's the matter, can our tea make money?"
"It can make a lot of money!" Wang Shijing had no doubts about his daughter-in-law's ability to make money, not to mention that the tea was really, really delicious.
"Little Daddy..." Nizi pushed the empty teacup towards Little Daddy, Shao Yun'an laughed out loud with her watery eyes.
The Longjing tea produced by Shao Yunan is the best quality he made. There is nothing to waste, and of course you have to drink the best when you drink it yourself. The three of them are very face-saving, take one bite at a time, don't mention how much you like it, and enjoy it more. Shao Yunan also took this opportunity to tell the two children a lot about tea, telling them that the artistic conception of tea is not simply soaking a few leaves and drinking it fresh. Tea is simple, but there is no drink in the world that can compete with it.
Wang Shijing only had Shao Yun'an in his eyes. He suppressed the inferiority complex that surged up in his heart again. He kept his wife's shining charm, and he also thought about how he could treat her better, so that she would be more willing to stay by his side and stay in youth. Beside Brother and Nizi. Shao Yun'an doesn't want children, as long as he doesn't want "his" children. He is not as capable, smarter, and capable as his wife, but as long as it is what her daughter wants, he will work hard to get it for her. All he wants is that his daughter-in-law will always be his daughter-in-law.
Perhaps Shao Yun'an would never have imagined the impact of this tea after the meal on Wang Qing and Wang Ni. Many, many years later, when Wang Qing and Wang Ni have grown up, they will always remember the scene where their little father made tea for them for the first time in a very dilapidated home, and this scene even often appeared. In their dreams, it is one of their most precious treasures.
Shao Yunan put the tea table in Wang Qing and Wang Ni's room, and left a complete set of tea sets and a pot of tea leaves, so that the two children could learn to make tea by themselves while studying. Nizi was still young, Shao Yunan told her to make tea and ask her brother to come to avoid being scalded. Wang Qing and Wang Ni touched the beautiful tea table and the beautiful tea bowl, and they didn't want to take a nap.
Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing lay on the kang to take a nap in the morning, but Wang Shijing didn't feel sleepy at all. Holding Shao Yun'an in his arms and touching him through his clothes, Wang Shijing asked, "Aren't you going to give this Longjing tea and chrysanthemum tea to County Magistrate Jiang and Dean Cen? Or sell it to Yizhangxuan?"
Shao Yun'an closed his eyes and rested his mind, and lazily replied: "When the wine is ready, I will send it to them. I don't want to give them something good. Although I want to make friends with them, I don't have any It is necessary to be so obsequious. At present, the owner of Yizhangxuan is the best choice, but don’t worry. Chinese New Year is the peak season for gift giving. Different artistic conception, the selling price will be higher. As for goat milk wine, let me think about it again. Give everything to Yizhangxuan, they have no competition pressure, and it is not a good thing for us.”
"Well, it's all up to you." Thinking of the aroma of the wine when the barrel was changed for the second time, Wang Shijing swallowed, and couldn't wait to drink it. His family, Yun'an, is indeed the most capable!
"As for the chrysanthemum tea..." Shao Yunan turned over, faced Wang Shijing, and put his foot on his lap, "I did plan to give it to Wang Shuping at first, but then I thought about his father and I wanted to transfer it to Fourth Aunt Wang , but there are too many shameless people in the Wang clan, I'm afraid that Aunt Wang's family won't be able to cover them. Even if they don't care about Wang Wenhe, there are other clan elders. Let me think about it, anyway, there is still some time before the end of the busy farming season .”
Regardless of the fact that Wang Shijing only hired workers for more than 20 days, that was just the time for plowing the land, sowing the seeds, and a series of other things such as maintenance. It would take a month to finish all the work, and after that, we would have to weed and water regularly. Although Fourth Aunt Wang's family has less land than his family, but there are not many people in Fourth Aunt Wang's family, and there are no hired workers, so it will take about forty days. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan bought a total of 20 mu of mountain land and 10 mu of dry land. Wang Shijing used them to grow winter wheat, and the 20 mu of mountain land could be planted with potatoes, white radishes, green onions, pumpkins, cabbage, rapeseed, and everything else except rapeseed. Harvest again before the coldest January of the following year and save it for the winter. The mountainous land needs to be fertilized thoroughly once, and it takes a while to grow food.
The climate of Xiushui Village is similar to Jiangnan, but drier than Jiangnan, and there are many crops that can be grown. Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing had just bought a field and missed the planting time of many staple foods. At this time, the other family was harvesting corn, soybeans and other crops while planting new crops. They had nothing to harvest. Before the snow falls, Wang Shijing will go to the mountains several times to get some game and dry goods for the winter. Shao Yunan can make several kinds of pickled vegetables, and then buy some miso, pickles, etc. from the villagers. Cabbage, potatoes, and pumpkins can be stored in the cellar. Shao Yunan also specially designed a greenhouse at the new house to grow vegetables in winter, so This winter is no problem. However, in the coming year, Shao Yunan will find ways to "increase" several vegetables. He wants to eat tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, broccoli...etc.
Wang Shijing said: "If not, leave it to Uncle Sun. Patriarch Sun and Uncle Sun are cousins, and Uncle Sun is the only doctor in our village, and Uncle Sun's family has a large population. Didn't Brother Shuping say that Uncle Sun and the county magistrate Does the shopkeeper of the pharmacy have friendship? You also said that this chrysanthemum tea can be sold in the pharmacy, so you don’t have to go to Yizhangxuan.”
Shao Yunan thought about the feasibility: "Don't worry, with the climate here, the wild chrysanthemums on the mountain can bloom again, just as the busy farming season is over."
"good."
Shao Yun'an was not in a hurry, but someone was. The two couples were lying on the bed by taking a nap, and someone knocked on the door.
