I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 355 The couple who recite poems return to Yanjing

  The other applicants were unknown, so two interviewers and a middle-aged woman came out.

  Jiu Niang was in a nervous mood, she just wanted to exchange some silver, but now she had to make it on the spot. Fortunately, Aizen has been making it for more than ten years, an ancestral craftsmanship.

   Zheyu and Baicaoshi took Jiuniang into the carriage and headed for Jiuniang's house.

   Half an hour later, we arrived.

  Jiuniang’s house is relatively simple, the courtyard wall is not too high, and two big trees stick out of the courtyard wall. Stepping into it, there are two large dye vats inside, which are blue. A clothesline was pulled from the tree to dry the dyed cloth.

  The house is still thatched, and there is the sound of reading books inside.

   "My son is studying."

  Jiu Niang rubbed her hands and introduced awkwardly. She brought two small wooden stools for the two guests.

She went to the dye vat by herself and introduced: "These bluegrass leaves are harvested in March and April, and the branches and leaves are soaked in water and poured into a large dye vat. It takes about five months from picking to making a vat of qualified dye. During this period, indigo is needed. , fermentation, the foam turns from green to blue, and water is added continuously, and then sugar, rice wine and plant ash are added, so that it can really become a dye that can dye good cloth in a vat.”

   Baicao Poems are listened carefully, these skills condense the wisdom of the ancestors, and carry the use of the essence of nature by the ancestors.

   "Jiu Niang, we can't wait to see your finished product." Baicaoshi made no secret of her excitement.

  Jiu Niang picked up a white square scarf, manipulated it nimbly with her fingers, and did not forget to explain it, not worried that the other party would steal her skills. "My usual method is tie-dyeing. You see, that's it. After twisting the printed square scarf into a knot, dip it into the dyeing vat, and then remove the twisted thread. The next step is to dry it and leave it to time."

  Baicaoshi once again deeply means that confident women are the most beautiful. The submissive middle-aged woman dared not speak loudly, but when she talked about her Aizen, she spoke clearly and her whole body was shining.

   It was Zhe Yu who asked, "Jiu Niang, you treat people without defense, aren't you worried that others will learn from you?"

  Jiu Niang was taken aback for a moment, then asked softly after a while: "You guys, will you?"

   These words made Zhe Yuwen laugh, "You and I are strangers, so we must be cautious."

Unexpectedly, Jiu Niang waved her hands again and again, "I don't think so. People like you..." She considered her vocabulary, and the young woman in front of her was smart and beautiful, and the man was even more astonished, "How can such a decent person steal a teacher? ?”

In the end, she scratched her hair and smiled faintly, "Actually, I'm not afraid even if you steal it. As I said, it took five months from picking to making this vat of dye, how many people can stand it?" Can I survive? Besides, even if I teach you the complicated skills during this period, I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn them in three to five years. Taking a step back, if someone has really learned it, then such a genius will definitely learn it. Let’s carry forward Aizen. I, too, should be happy.”

  Her words are so simple, but to Baicaoshi's ears, they are deafening.

  She thought of those intangible inheritance inheritors who endured the long years and loneliness, and devoted themselves to passing on the ancient skills.

  The square scarf was taken out of the dye vat, and Jiuniang printed relatively simple patterns, folded lines and flowers. However, amidst the simplicity, there is a sense of order and a sense of balance.

   Baicaoshi applauded excitedly.

"Jiu Niang, I solemnly inform you that you have been hired by us. I tentatively plan to give you ten taels of silver every month. You will be mainly responsible for planting indigo, teaching dyeing and tie-dyeing, and training for us. More apprentices. For every apprentice who becomes a teacher, I will reward you with dividends."

  Jiu Niang didn't know what dividends meant, but she knew ten taels of silver, which she couldn't earn by printing and dyeing a lot of cloth.

  With a grateful heart, Jiuniang fell to her knees, her hands full of blue dye kowtowed, "Thank you girl, thank you son, thank you for your love, I will definitely..."

   While talking to herself, the room was turned upside down, and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy came out, "Mom, you are..."

   "Brother Ting, come and pay your respects to your benefactor."

  Baicaoshi hurriedly went to help Jiuniang, "Jiuniang, you are too polite, so I will show you this unique skill, you are worth it."

  Jiu Niang picked up her sleeves and wiped away her tears. She had a premonition that life would be better in the future, and she pulled her son to introduce to her benefactor, "This is my son, named Ji Ting."

  The boy is gentle and polite, very likable.

  On this day, Baicaoshi and Zheyu had a simple meal at Jiuniang's house before leaving.

   Yurong Baicao Base was quickly recruited.

  Baicaoshi's positioning of it is not only the Yunzhaodao local herbal cultivation base, but also shoulders the mission of hybrid cultivation of artificial breeding and wild. That is, Baicaoshi provided some seeds from the shopping mall, and local drug farmers picked wild seeds for hybridization. If the test is successful, the output of herbal medicine will be greatly increased in the future.

  Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, this is the life of Baicaoshi and Zheyu now.

  Everything remains the same in Yurong City, except that there will be "fishing teams" patrolling every day to clean up the remnants, and some caught fish will be found every few days. In fact, these were all caught before. Doing this is nothing more than giving an explanation to the court and keeping Tie Lanxin's position in the palace.

   In the blink of an eye, time entered September, and Xia Ying, sent by the imperial court, arrived.

  For Xia Ying, this is actually a gold-plated journey. Emperor Yanwu is relying on him very much now.

  Xia Ying brought the news that Xuan Zheyu returned to Yanjing according to Emperor Yanwu's will, and took up the post of Minister of Honglu Temple.

  Before leaving, Fuhui prepared a practical dinner for Oriyu and Baicaoshi.

  Mo Feizhan did not come, he felt that he was done, and started his own wandering. Zhenyilou's health is almost back to normal, once Mo Feizhan left, all the affairs of the Restoration Congress fell on him.

  Tie Lanxin is also here.

"Zheyu, Shishi, I respect you for this glass of wine. Thank you for giving us a peaceful Yunzhao, a rich Yunzhao, a Yunzhao full of prosperity and vitality. Believe me, I will build it better. Shinichi too."

   As she spoke, she glanced at the first floor.

In fact, at the shareholders' meeting of Baicaoyuan Group, Tie Lanxin had already decided to give up Zhenyilou, but at the moment when Tie Jin's personal guards attacked her, Zhenyilou appeared and saved her. Bang again. Faced with Shinichi's injury, she often came to visit him, and found that she couldn't let go, so she decided to chase him back.

  Baicaoshi picked up her wooden butterfly tea and replaced wine with tea, "Then, let's wait and see, a land of extreme freedom and happiness."

  Zoru raised his glass from afar, "Shinichi, what are your plans for the future?"

   Zhenyilou pinched the wine glass with his fingertips, slightly turning white, "I will stay in Yunzhao, this is my hometown. You can leave your Baicao base to me with confidence."

  There is no permanent banquet in the world. He used to be greedy and enjoy every moment together.

   But now, it's time to part.

   Zhe Yu drank up Yun Zhao's rice wine. "Okay, along the way, I will always regard you as the best brother, now and in the future."

  After negotiation, the high priest Zhenzhang was sent to Licheng not far from Yurong City, where there is a temple named Tanhua Temple. Use Buddhism to save the evil in your heart.

Zhenyilou said again: "Before the chief helmsman left, he discussed with me that the name of the Rejuvenation Council can be changed, and it can be changed. The restoration of the country is not the real purpose, as long as the people of Yunzhao live well. So Zhe Yu, give me a new name."

  Zheyu is good at choosing names. The names of Feilu, Huanglu and beauty brands are all obtained by Zheyu.

   Zhe Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "Call it Yun Shihui."

  yun represents Yunzhao. poetry?

   Baicaoshi was stunned for a moment.

  "I hope that the people of Yunzhao can live like the mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian Meike, have yellow hair and hang down, as the poem says, and be happy."

   Zhenyilou read it softly, "Okay."

  He likes this name, and every time he reads it, there is a beauty in his heart.

  After practicing, Zheyu and Baicaoshi set off, and Li Jianping returned to Yanjing casually with four guards sent by Emperor Yanwu.

  Oh, there is another pair of mother and son, Jiu Niang and her son Ji Ting. Baicaoshi has made a business plan for the next three years to enter the clothing industry in dyeing workshops, with indigo dyeing as its biggest selling point.
