Chapter 449 Tea is a Cure for All Diseases
After some discussion, Shen Youyou and the others took all their stuff and left first, and the two brothers would come back to lead the wild boar quarter of an hour later.
It was not feasible to ask them to lure the wild boars earlier, after all, the people who were returning were still carrying the picked persimmons on their backs.
The three girls in the group were okay, at least they only carried a bamboo basket of persimmons, but the boys each carried a basket of persimmons and a palm bag full of persimmons in their hands.
Two teenagers carrying one is just right.
Although it was not easy, they walked very fast on the way back. There was no other way. By then, Dahu and Erhu would definitely be able to lead the wild boar faster.
If the two of them led the wild boar to catch up with them before they reached home, it would be really lively.
At home, the corvées now have delicious meals to eat, and they can fill their stomachs, and they work really hard.
Shen Zhiqiu and his brothers made tea with the freshly roasted Wenguan tea and carried it to the construction site bucket by bucket.
He first greeted several officials from the Ministry of Industry: "Sir, we have just made some tea, you can have a rest and drink some, so that the fellow villagers can also rest."
These officials were quite conscientious and responsible. They supervised the entire process and kept a close eye on every aspect, fearing any mistakes.
Hearing Shen Zhiqiu's greeting, they did not show any disdain. They took the plastic teacup handed over by Shen Zhiqiu and praised the teacup before drinking the tea:
"Your plastic is really a good thing. I saw you make shoe soles before, and you can also make plastic basins and buckets, and now you can also make tea cups."
The teacups made by the Jiu Zu tribe are similar to the modern teacups from the 1970s and 1980s. In fact, they look more like toothbrush cups, but ancient people had never seen them before, so everything they saw was strange.
Especially in transparent tea cups, there are various decorations, some of which are made of osmanthus or other small flowers when casting, and some are made of various leaves.
Some of them also came up with poems and blessings. There is no unified standard, and now they are not selling for money, so the young people just give it their all.
"Adults can take a few home if they like them. Ours are relatively rough, not as high-end as those exquisite porcelains. At most, we just paint them for convenience."
Although the teacup is average, the tea is fried really well. After tasting it, several adults gave unanimous praise: "The fragrance is pleasant, the tea aroma is mellow and sweet."
"Haha, you are too kind, sir. The children picked these when they went to play in the mountains. Drinking the leaves of the Xanthoceras sorbifolia regularly can refresh the mind, regulate the spleen and stomach, and promote digestion."
Although Old Shen speaks modestly, he can't hide the pride in his tone. There's nothing he can do about it, it's because his daughter is so smart.
Look at the free tea, which can be enjoyed by these officials who are used to drinking good tea. How can they not be proud?
However, when inviting others to tea,
Shen Zhiqiu was really not modest at all. He also held a teacup and pointed at the tea in the bucket and said, "You all can try it. This tea was picked by my daughter and her brothers and sisters."
Unfortunately, the men in Tangjia Village who were present were not surprised, because Shen Lao San praised his daughter three times a day.
No! To be precise, I wish I could have five, six, seven or eight meals a day!
As for the supervising yamen runners, or the villagers who were doing corvee labor, they really didn't understand his feelings. They just thought that if they were asked to drink tea, they could just drink it. The tea tasted good and it could also give them a break.
As for the leaves your daughter picked?
That's very common. The girls in their families would pick some wild tea leaves in spring and make tea at home. Although the tea is not as fragrant and sweet as the one you make.
But farmers usually drink it themselves and would not spend money if they can. What's so strange about that?
But the men from the nine clans present definitely understood Shen Zhiqiu's thought process, especially when they were overwhelmed by this kind of thinking, their thought processes were gradually affected.
So, Grandpa Shen held the teacup and took a deep sniff: "Our Yoyo still knows more."
Shen Fugui also said: "My two children, Da Mao and Er Mao, have also made great progress recently and have learned a lot from You You."
Although Grandpa Gao didn't know how to appreciate tea, he blew on the teacup twice, gulped down a cup like a cow chewing a peony, and then went to get a second cup:
"From now on, I've decided to drink this tea. It's sweet. I'll ask the kids to pick more leaves later."
Grandpa Guo, who had been drinking tea with a smile on his face, couldn't hide his pride when he heard his little apprentice being praised: "Of course, this tea is good stuff.
It is recorded in the "Supplement to Compendium of Materia Medica": "All medicines are for different diseases, but tea is for all diseases."
The leaves and branches of Xanthoceras sorbifolia also have the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat rheumatism, heat arthralgia, and pain in the muscles and bones. You can also drink this tea to strengthen your muscles and bones if you work all day long. "
I have to say, there is a way to speak. For example, the pride of the few people mentioned above was not appreciated by 99% of the people present.
But when Doctor Guo linked the efficacy of this tea with these working people, things suddenly changed.
There was a corvée who originally drank tea to quench his thirst, but after hearing this, he poured himself another cup and decided to taste it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Boss Shen, your child is really thoughtful. Did he go up the mountain to pick them just for us?"
The fellow villagers who were doing corvée labor also felt warmed in their hearts, and those who were good at speaking and eloquent could not help but praise him:
"Children are sensible and kind-hearted."
He is a very honest man, not good at being polite. His face, which was originally numb as he drank tea, now put on a smile and nodded.
As for the men in Tangjia Village, when they heard that this tea actually has so many benefits, they decided to let their daughters learn about it from your daughters so that they can pick some back to drink.
Shen Zhiqiu was instantly relieved: "Yes, her daughter is sensible, kind-hearted, and knows a lot."
The men from the nine clans present also looked proud.
And Shen Youyou and the others came back at this time.
She was carrying only a basket of persimmons on her back. She gathered her inner strength and walked very fast. Fortunately, she had foresight and put some straw on top of the persimmons to cover them.
Otherwise, the persimmons would probably fall as she flew along, and I don’t know how many would be left in the end.
"Dad, dad, grab some gear, there's a wild boar."
Shen Zhiqiu, who was originally sipping his tea with a smile on his face, suddenly stood up, threw away his teacup and ran towards where Shen Youyou was shouting.
Unfortunately, I was worried about my daughter and my legs became weak with fear. I fell after running only a few steps. I got up quickly and continued running.
The people behind him were the same. They didn't care about anything else and even threw away the walking stick in Grandpa Shen's hand. If it weren't for the eldest grandson holding them back, they would have probably fallen down.
Shen Youyou was not the only one shouting. A dozen half-grown children started shouting as soon as they came down the mountain, just to let everyone hear them earlier.
Because even if they set out early and walked very quickly when they came back, they could not keep up with the fast running of the wild boars. Dahu and Erhu, who were being chased by the wild boars, ran even faster.
In order to prevent the wild boar from catching up with his younger brothers and sisters, the big tiger in the middle deliberately led the wild boar to run through many detours in the forest.
Now that they were about to catch up with their younger brothers and sisters, Dahu and Erhu began to circle in the woods with the wild boar again.
Isn’t the wild boar tired after following them for so long?
It was tiring, but Da Hu and Er Hu were hated by others. When they were leading the wild boars, they would occasionally use stones they had hidden in their arms as hidden weapons.
Given the strength of the two men who had practiced martial arts since childhood, even though the wild boar had thick skin and flesh, it would still feel pain!
