Chapter 703

Lu Jiao looked at them dumbfounded and said, "I don't know if it's my sister right now, so don't rush to name her."

Sanbao looked at Lu Jiao earnestly with a small face and said, "Mother, get ready first, if the baby is born to a younger sister who just needs it, don't rush around, let's decide on the name first, it's fine."

Sibao nodded vigorously: "Yes, mother, this is the name I named my sister. Listen, Linglong, Lingyue, isn't it very nice?"

Lu Jiao had no choice but to take a closer look at their names when Feng Zhi walked in and reported: "My lord, madam, Housekeeper Xiao sent someone to report that the tea farmers from Huayun Mountain came to see your lord." .”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao looked at each other, and Lu Jiao asked, "What does the tea farmer want to see you for?"

Xie Yunjin said: "It should be that you came to thank me. The Chief Minister found out that the prefect Lin had suppressed a large amount of tea money from the tea farmers, so he subsidized them with 30 taels of silver per household. They should be very happy."

Lu Jiao nodded, and suddenly thought about tea. Da Zhou's tea leaves did not have the exquisite frying method of the later generations. The process of the current tea leaves is extremely simple. Just pick the tea leaves home, heat them with tools and dry them naturally to make tea Drink, the taste of tea is greatly reduced.

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin thoughtfully and said: "Yunjin, the current tea process is too simple, so the taste of brewing is not good, we can teach the tea farmers a set of frying and finishing methods, the tea produced in this way, tea The aroma is strong, and the taste is at least a few grades higher than the original."

As soon as Lu Jiao said, Xie Yunjin knew that the tea in Lu Jiao's era was much better than the current tea process, so he immediately looked at Lu Jiao and asked, "Do you have any relevant books?"

Lu Jiao thought for a while and said with uncertainty: "It should be, even if not, I still remember some, and I will tell you when the time comes."

Xie Yunjin nodded happily when she heard that, then stood up and prepared to go to the front to greet the tea farmers: "You mother and son are playing here, I will be right back."

Lu Jiao and the four little ones nodded, and when their father left, the little ones chased Lu Jiao again, asking her to agree to the name they chose.

Lu Jiao thought for a while and said, "So, aren't there two babies in the mother's womb? A baby needs two first names and two nicknames. There are exactly four of you, and each of you chooses one for the baby. As for the first name or Let’s draw lots to decide on a nickname, what do you think?”

This is the fairest way for Lu Jiao, and the four little ones agreed, but the four little ones quickly realized: "Isn't the father unable to take it?"

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "The four of you were named by him before, so this time it's your turn to pick it up."

The four little ones were overjoyed, and they unanimously agreed with Lu Jiao's decision. In the end, Lu Jiao asked someone to make some small paper balls for the four little ones to catch.

In the end, the second treasure and the third treasure catch the nickname, while the big treasure and the fourth treasure catch the big name.

The four little guys immediately began to think hard about naming their younger sister, always feeling that the few names they named before were not ideal.

Seeing them like this, Lu Jiao laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, think about it slowly, my sister hasn't given birth yet."

The four little guys are finally not in a hurry.

When Xie Yunjin came back and found out the names of the two children, there was no part for him, and his face was so long.

The four little ones ran away in a hurry, anyway, what the mother had promised would not be changed.

In the room, Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao and protested, "My child, why did you let those four brats get up?"

Lu Jiao looked at him amusedly: "Then what do you think? If you don't name them, they won't be happy, and fortunately there are two, four people with two nicknames and two big names, so it's not easy to have conflicts, you I don't want to make the four little guys unhappy."

After Lu Jiao said this, Xie Yunjin was speechless, but she was still in a bad mood.

Lu Jiao hurriedly asked him about the tea farmers: "How is it? They are here to thank you."

"Yes, I sent a bunch of things over."

Lu Jiao immediately said disapprovingly: "They are suffering enough, you can't take their things."

"It's all melons, fruits and vegetables. I don't want them. They put down their things and ran away. Forget it. I'll teach them the tea-frying technique later. If that's the case, their tea leaves will sell for a lot of money in the future."

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, Lu Jiao thought of the salt at the salt field. The salt in Dazhou is the kind of coarse salt with large grains and yellowish color. If it is made into potassium-containing white salt like white snow, this matter may alarm the whole society. Da Zhou, Lu Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she thought of this.

"Yun Jin, have you ever seen a kind of salt that is as fine and white as snow?"

As a southerner, Xie Yunjin has never seen snow, but after he went to Beijing to take the exam last time, it snowed in the capital. At that time, he was shocked to see such snow.

Now hearing Lu Jiao say that salt is like snow, Xie Yunjin felt amazed just thinking about it, he turned to look at Lu Jiao excitedly: "You mean, salt can be processed into white and fine like snow. "

"right."

Xie Yunjin was agitated when she heard her words, and paced back and forth in the room, but slowly calmed down.

"Even if we have the method of making salt, we can't report this technology. The prosperity will inevitably decline. Our status is so low. If we do too many things that are too prosperous, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's jealousy, and maybe we may suffer from it." Clearing up, so this salt-making technology, it is better to hand it over to the King of Yan, so that King Yan can present it, so that the reputation of King Yan will become more and more prosperous, and in the end he will become the best candidate for the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Lu Jiao nodded in agreement, but she turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin and said, "Although we wholeheartedly want to push King Yan to the throne, just because King Yan will become His Majesty in the future doesn't mean he doesn't fear us, so we don't have to be too prominent in front of King Yan." It's full."

Xie Yunjin nodded immediately: "Don't worry, I will restrain myself in the future, but now is the time for me to make meritorious service in front of King Yan, so we will be fine for the time being."

Lu Jiao nodded and said nothing more, she believed that Xie Yunjin had her own plans.

Before going to bed, Lu Jiao quietly entered the space, searched for a long time, and found a book about tea. In fact, it didn't mention tea making technology separately, but there were some mentioned in it, and this is enough. .

In addition, I found a book on making salt, which actually wrote various methods of making salt.

When Xie Yunjin saw these two books, she couldn't put it down and read them in her hand. Lu Jiao looked at him and guessed that she would not sleep again tonight, but she didn't rush him. He drank a lot of water from her spiritual spring and stayed up all night and two nights. It's not a problem at all.

Lu Jiao fell asleep happily.
