Chapter 46 Doubt
Xia Xiaoqiao looked down upon Lu Jingyuan's gentle way of doing things.

After the old man Lizheng left, Xia Xiaoqiao said coldly, "Lu Jingyuan, what do you mean?"

"No hurries?"

Someone glanced at her leisurely, Xia Xiaoqiao opened her mouth angrily and said speechlessly, "I, what do you think I'm in a hurry for?"

snort!
After speaking, she sat on the bed with her back facing him.

And Lu Jingyuan said with a smile in his eyes: "What did you just make? It tastes very delicious."

Xia Xiaoqiao turned to look at him speechlessly, "Oh, are you still thinking about eating?"

"No."

Facing her cold face made him petty, the smile in Lu Jingyuan's eyes was even stronger, the light in his eyes flowed, and his voice lengthened.

"Hey, it's not that there are other ways. I still have some contacts in Lingzhou City, so it's not a problem to get tea."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xia Xiaoqiao's eyes widened when she heard this, while Lu Jingyuan raised his chin, glanced at her, and said calmly:

"Aren't you going soon?"

What is there that Xia Xiaoqiao doesn't understand now, this guy actually has the leisure to tease her?
"You, okay—"

Xia Xiaoqiao waved her small fist at him, gave him a look, turned and left.

After a while, a pot of multigrain noodles came out of the pot.

Add a spoonful of Chinese toon sauce as a marinade, and the taste is called a fragrant.

Qilang eats most happily.

While being inhaled by the heat, he was still reluctant to put down his chopsticks.

Then drink water with a gulp.

"Slow down, this sauce is a bit spicy, you'd better eat less."

Xia Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a little regretful, she didn't think carefully, the trauma like theirs is the most taboo to eat spicy and irritating food.

"What is this red seasoning?"

Compared with Qilang who just buried his head in cooking, Lu Jingyuan beside him was very research spirit.

"Chili, although this thing is appetizing, but you are the same as Qilang, you should eat less!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to take it away, but was held down by Lu Jingyuan.

"Chili? What's that?"

Xia Xiaoqiao was taken aback, "You don't know?"

Lu Jingyuan shook his head, and Xia Xiaoqiao immediately realized that this might be an alien species, or this dynasty hadn't discovered it yet.

"Where did this come from?"

Facing Lu Jingyuan's questioning expression, Xia Xiaoqiao frowned unnaturally, "Cough, I picked it by accident in the back mountain."

But Lu Jingyuan obviously didn't believe that.

The previously unseen and heard milk powder is nothing more than that, but now there is an extra inexplicable pepper?

Lu Jingyuan was silent.

"What kind of expression do you have, believe it or not."

Xia Xiaoqiao stared at him with wide eyes, while Lu Jingyuan narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "It's not a big deal, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Who is in a hurry? You are in a hurry."

The meal was finished in an eccentric atmosphere.

At the same time, Li Zheng's family is also performing this scene.

"Si——, A Niang, what kind of sauce is this? It's so spicy, but it's really fragrant."

Mrs. Lizheng smiled and said: "This is sent by Mrs. Xiucai. She said it is homemade toon sauce. It is a bit spicy and not suitable for dinner."

"Yeah, it's really delicious, and it's very delicious, but, what is this red seasoning, why haven't I seen it before?"

"I haven't seen it either, Dad, have you seen it?"

The sons looked curious, and the grandchildren also looked over.

With a sullen face, Li Zheng reprimanded, "Don't accept anything from shallow eyes."

Everyone fell silent after hearing the words, but Mrs. Lizheng gave him a glare.

"It's just a jar of pickled vegetables, which was kindly sent to my old lady by a scholar lady. Hmph, if you don't care about it, don't eat it."

After speaking, he snatched the toon sauce away, and Li Zheng immediately changed his face and said, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Hmph, what's wrong with that girl? I look good. If it's not too embarrassing, you can do it for her."

"Humph--"

As soon as Xia Xiaoqiao was mentioned, Li Zheng became angry, "You said so lightly, do it for her, do you know what that girl is going to do? She actually wants to grow tea—"

"Grow tea?"

Everyone in Lizheng's family was stunned, and soon the young man named Dashan said: "No wonder she asked me what kind of small tree grows on the mountain. I also asked my mother to find out that it is called a tea tree."

Others you look at me, I look at you.

"Father, can't you grow tea?"

"You brat, do you think it's okay? It's a good land. It's hard to open up wasteland. The government cut the tax by half, and there's not enough food. What kind of tea? The most important thing is that our village has grown food for generations. Who will grow it? Tea?"

The old man Lizheng said angrily: "Besides, are you so good at growing tea? You are still young, and you don't know how many people lost their lives because of this smuggled tea."

The crowd fell silent, but the young man named Dashan thought for a while and said, "But my lord, a catty of tea is worth [-] renminbi at least. I heard from people in the town that a tea tree can produce at least [-] renminbi." How about a catty of tea leaves, how much does it cost?"

Everyone took a breath when they heard it.

"Dashan, are you serious?"

Lu Dashan nodded immediately, "I heard about it from a friend who runs a business. He travels all over the world, and his knowledge is naturally not bad. There is no need to lie to me. Even if he is bragging, he can cut it down. A tea tree fifty Jin, eighty Wen per catty, that can earn four taels of silver."

Now everyone can't sit still, this is a tree, how many tea trees can be planted in that one mu of land?

How much silver would that be?
Lizheng's other sons couldn't bear it anymore.

"Father? Does the talented lady really think that our mountain can grow tea trees? What does that kid Jingyuan say?"

Li Zheng froze for a moment, and frowned after thinking about it.

"The kid didn't say no, and he didn't say yes—"

Lu Dashan patted his thigh, and said excitedly: "That's a play."

"Who is Cousin Jing Yuan? He is the only scholar in our village, and the leader of our entire Lingzhou City. Since he didn't deny it, it means there is hope for this matter."

The others also cheered up, and Lizheng saw this chopstick hit him.

"I hope you shit, you brat, you know how to go around all day long, what do you know? Don't mention this matter, and, boss, how is the matter of the corvee? Has the list been drawn up? ?”

After Lu Dashan was beaten, he became honest, and his father, who is Lizheng's eldest son, said at this moment: "Other families are settled, but Uncle Qitang in the west of the village wants his youngest son and that underage Saburo Follow along."

"Nonsense—"

Li knocked on the table righteously, "That Sanlang is only a teenager, and he hasn't even decided on a parent. What do you ask him to do? Is the fourth child in their family dead? No matter how bad it is, there is still a long house. After so many years, I have to stretch out my hands to eat." Come to open your mouth, I haven't seen him get anything famous in the exam, he's still a boy at an old age—"

Li Zheng was angry, and the others naturally dared not speak.

But what can I do?

At this moment, the deer family in the west of the village was crying loudly.

"Father, mother, I beg you, I beg you, oh——, Saburo is still a child, he is still a child—"
