Chapter 40

That night, Mu Wanqing and Boss Guo Erpan had a sumptuous dinner together. There were fish, meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, but the craftsmanship needed to be improved.

Mu Wanqing ate all kinds of thorns while eating. The meat was not handled well, and it was a bit fishy. The knife skills of the fish slices were not good. The mutton was not tasty enough. Boss Pan who picked it was about to vomit blood.

Mu Wanqing glanced at him lightly, and casually mentioned the fried eggplant in a dream of Red Mansions, using a dozen chickens to match? Both of them were dumbfounded, so extravagant?

It is confirmed that this is a child from the hairpin Ying family, otherwise, they would not have known it so clearly.

Boss Pan's smile became more enthusiastic and he showed great hospitality. Mu Wanqing's attitude towards him was indifferent, but he was more enthusiastic towards Guo Er.

This distinction made the two feel different, mixed with joy and sorrow.

After eating, Mu Wanqing didn't stay too long, and went to rest under the excuse of being tired.

New clothes, shoes and socks have been prepared, there are not only one set, there are as many as four sets.

All kinds of daily necessities are complete, and even the clean room has prepared petals for bathing, which shows how well thought out.

Mu Wanqing took a hot bath and scrubbed from head to toe, feeling that her whole body was relaxed.

She touched her new clothes, which were the most popular brocade in Beijing.

Outside the door, Second Master Mu was guarding, and when he saw his daughter come out, he said, "Qing'er, Guard Shen was called away."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, this was also in her plan.

She picked up the dim sum box on the table, which contained all kinds of delicate dim sum. She pushed it in front of Er Ye Mu, "Father, is dinner delicious? Come, try the dim sum."

Second Master Mu and his son ate together with the other guards, and they did not treat them badly.

Second Master Mu was absent-minded throughout the meal, for fear that his daughter's identity would be exposed.

He took a piece of dim sum and took a bite, the sweet taste melted in his mouth, and suddenly he was filled with emotion, "Your mother loves dim sum. She used to make red bean cakes by herself. It's delicious."

He thought of his wife while eating the dim sum, Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing, she rolled her eyes, dumped the dim sum in the box on a handkerchief, and wrapped it tightly, "Father, take it back for mother to eat, mother. Must be very happy."

The corner of Mu Erye's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, this is really cheating to eat and drink.

On the other side, Shen Yong took a sip of the good fragrant tea, "This is this year's tribute tea Dahongpao, Boss Pan is very energetic."

Boss Pan didn't expect that a guard would actually drink it out, so he couldn't help but look at it differently, "I don't dare, I just dipped it all in, and I only have a couple of ounces on hand. I specially gave Jiang Xiaoge a taste today."

Shen Yong reported his family name, did not change his name, did not change his surname while sitting, his surname was Jiang!

"You're welcome, I wonder if Boss Pan called me over at night, what's the matter?"

"Brother Jiang, what is the origin of your master?" Boss Pan is cautious by nature, and he must find out before making a decision.

"I'm just a follower, how dare I talk nonsense." Shen Yong said so, but his face was arrogant.

Boss Pan was unbearable, "I promise not to reveal a word to the public, I swear."

"It's useless to swear. I will never say it. The rules are strict in the house. I don't dare to make the slightest mistake."

When he said this, Boss Pan was even more curious. He took out a silver note from his arms and pushed it in front of Shen Yong, "Please make it easier."

Shen Yong glanced at it, it was five hundred taels, a very large hand.

He quickly accepted the bank note, still saying, "No, no, I can't say..."

At the same time, he took out a token and shook it in front of Boss Pan. Boss Pan's eyes suddenly widened, what is this? The token of the Fifth Prince's Mansion?

When he saw it clearly, Shen Yong quickly put away the token, "I didn't say anything."

Well, didn't say it, just did it.

When he cheated on his master for the first time, he was full of anxiety and fear. But the second time, he actually felt inexplicably happy.

It's cool to pit the boss for a while, and it's cool to pit the boss all the time!

Your Highness, you can't blame your subordinates for being unfaithful, it's really... Miss Mu San gave too much! They can't refuse.

Boss Pan was both surprised and delighted, but also a little bit of panic. He was shocked that little brother Mu was born in the Prince's Mansion. He was happy that he could be involved in the Fifth Prince's Mansion. If he could win the favor of little brother Mu, he might be able to Take this line.

What's frightening is that he has offended little brother Mu, and people don't see him very much.

How can this be good?

"Brother Mu, no, is his surname really Mu?"

Shen Yong's nostrils turned to the sky, and his expression was extremely arrogant, "It is the rules of this dynasty that princes are not allowed to leave the capital without permission, and my master is no exception."

This is tantamount to admitting that he is a member of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, which is a fact.

After all, Boss Pan is a shrewd person. After the initial surprise, he felt that something was wrong, "The fifth prince got married two years ago, the age of little brother Mu..."

Shen Yong rolled his eyes at him, as if looking at an idiot, "Who doesn't have several cousins ​​yet?"

Okay, see, little brother Mu is the cousin of the Fifth Prince!

No wonder he is so arrogant and self-willed.

Boss Pan's brain is so powerful that he automatically fills in all the details, completely dispelling his doubts.

Shen Yong acted according to the script provided by Mu Wanqing, and trapped Boss Pan in the gutter, he couldn't help but have fun.

"Don't mention half a word, you know? My young master is going out in small clothes."

"I know." Boss Pan flushed with excitement.

The next day, Boss Pan was beside Mu Wanqing, flattering and flattering all kinds of things, so that Guo Er didn't even notice.

As for that? What kind of wind do you smoke well?

Mu Wanqing also found him annoying, "I heard that the tea market lasts for three days, why doesn't Boss Pan go to show it?"

Boss Pan smiled and said, "I asked my men to show up. They are very capable. Young master, when will your tea bricks be made? I will let the people below do things for you. You can rest assured that you will never steal your teacher."

His attitude was so good, Mu Wanqing stretched out her hand without hitting the smiling person, "That's fine, you can bring all the tea, I'll make a list, please help me prepare it."

Seeing her loosening up, Boss Pan was overjoyed, and wanted to perform well, "Haole, don't worry, it's all up to me."

The production process of tea bricks is very complicated. The first step is sieving. After several times of sieving, the sundries should be removed. The tea leaves should be neatly and evenly shaped, such as tea stalks and yellow flakes, etc. should be removed.

This step alone requires a lot of manpower, but for boss Pan, the local snake, this is not a big deal.

He asked hundreds of villagers of his own to come and help. Note 1

The most important thing is to suppress. She drew the design of the spiral hand press and let the skilled craftsmen in the city find a way to create it.

"By the way, help me build some iron pots and stoves."

She won't be soft when she has the opportunity to pick up wool.

There are two large iron pots, two small pots, four shovels, and the others are fine, that is, Fei Tie.

Iron is a managed product, which is strictly controlled by the court, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy a piece of iron.

There is one stove, which is the kind of rural integrated wood-fired stove, which is very suitable for outdoor cooking, and it can be cooked when it is brought down.

Boss Pan agreed without hesitation. For someone like him, it is not difficult.

His ability to handle affairs is still good, and he will send the screw press machine two days later. Mu Wanqing has to say that the wisdom of ancient craftsmen cannot be underestimated.

The tea picking in front was still proceeding in an orderly manner. Mu Wanqing picked out a few ingenious women and told them how to steam.

To steam tea, wrap the sieved tea leaves with gauze and put them in a drawer for steaming. Note 2

"I said before that people who work are 20 wen a day, and you can add 10 more."

The women were overjoyed, and one by one they scrambled to say that they would work hard.

After the tea is steamed, the tea is pressed. In this step, a strong man should be selected, and a group of four men will work together to press the tea.

After cooling, it is sent to the drying room to dry the water.

It has been three days since this step by step.

In the past few days, Mu Wanqing led people to watch the whole process, and each process was guarded and strictly controlled.

"Let's go, let's see if it works. It's the first time I've done it."

Boss Pan:  …

Sure enough, when you are young, you are ignorant and fearless, you dare to do anything, and you are not afraid of failure.

However, when he saw the brick tea that was flat, the thickness was exactly the same, the patterns were clear, and his eyes were straight.

"Is this done?"

"I don't know." Mu Wanqing said very irresponsibly. She picked up a brick tea and smelled it. There was a faint aroma of tea leaves, and there was no mildew.

She took a tea knife along the side of the tea brick and pryed off a small piece, "Come on, let's make tea."

The brewed tea soup has a bright yellow color and a mellow taste. After a sip, the taste is okay.

Guo Er was surprised, "Why do I feel better than before?"

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly and said, "It's more fragrant after baking. It's normal, and the more it ages, the more fragrant it gets."

Hearing the last sentence, Guo Er and Boss Pan's eyes lit up. They are both veteran businessmen and they all clearly understand what it means.

Mu Wanqing took out a document and handed it to Shen Yong, Shen Yong handed it to Guo Er, "Here, this is how tea bricks are made, this is the drawing for making a spiral hand press, Brother Guo, here's it for you. ."

Guo Er was flattered, "Don't be in such a hurry, wait until you're done."

Mu Wanqing waved her hand, "Take it, I don't like to owe favors. If you don't understand anything, just ask, and I'll make sure you learn it."

Guo Er just took over the information, scanned it carefully, and wrote it in great detail.

He felt that Mu Wanqing was a rare and honest child who should be well protected.

Boss Pan on the side looked at it with incomparable enthusiasm, "Little Young Master, I am willing to exchange these tea leaves for your secret recipe, can you see it?"

He returned the deposit given by Mu Wanqing. This batch of tea did not need any money, it was considered an exchange.

"This..." Mu Wanqing looked hesitant.

Boss Pan gave Shen Yong a wink, and Shen Yong nodded knowingly, "Little Young Master, Boss Pan has done his best for the past few days and has treated us very well, so please promise him."

He helped to say good things, and Mu Wanqing pouted like a child, "Then am I very shameless?"

Shen Yong laughed and coaxed, "How could it be? You are so generous, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach."

Mu Wanqing let out a chuckle, "I like this, then it's for your own sake, okay, that's it."

Boss Pan is also an old man, but he can't stand Mu Wanqing's many routines.

He was overjoyed, "Thank you, young master, and Jiang guard."

Second Master Mu looked at Shen Yong subconsciously, and became Jiang's bodyguard again?

Well, a pit is a pit once, and a pit is a pit countless times.

That night, when Shen Yong came to look for Mu Wanqing on business, Mu Wanqing was counting the thick banknotes with a melancholy expression, "It's really hard to spend money these days."

Shen Yong stumbled under his feet, my mother.
