People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 37 037: Heavenly Blessings
Summer is the season with the highest temperature, and it is also the happiest time for people.As long as there is water, food can grow in the ground, and the cycle is fast.

When the three of Cai Xiaolan arrived at the teahouse, Wang Ji was still deep in thought.Writing something is very difficult.Especially when uninspired.

Wang Ji only wrote two poems about the lobby and left the rest untouched.

When he saw Xiaolan enter the room, he couldn't help feeling ashamed, "Xiaolan, I'm ashamed today. It's been so long that I wrote two poems for the occasion."

"Old Wang, you misunderstood me. I just want you to write something casually, not necessarily original." Cai Xiaolan scratched her head.

Too much talent is not a good thing, for other people, he would not dare to think about creating a room full of poems!

"Ouch, I made a mistake!" Wang Ji was confused.

"Haha, Wang Laojiu, I'll say you're wrong!" Li Yunguang seemed to have guessed what Cai Xiaolan meant, and deliberately kept silent, just wanting to see Wang Ji's helpless embarrassment.

"Hmph!" The proud Wang Ji shook his head, "Your level is high, why didn't Xiaolan invite you?"

Li Yunguang and Cai Xiaolan looked at each other, how should they continue talking today?Cai Xiaolan ran out decisively.

The door of the teahouse faces the official road, and there is a large flat area in front of the lobby.The ground is covered with small stones, so you don't have to worry even if it rains.This piece of flat land alone took two passes.On one side of the flat ground, there is a row of thatched eaves, with seven horse-hitch posts under the eaves.At the top of the horse pen, there is a one-foot-wide closed hut, which Cai Xiaolan prepares for guests.

The well was dug at the east end.

The wells drilled by engineering students are very different from the wells drilled by ordinary craftsmen.Not only is it bigger, but it is surrounded by wide shelves of wood.When building the house, Cai Xiaolan invited bricklayers and carpenters to dig a deep hole along the side of the well, leading directly to the bottom of the well.

The wall of the well was also chiseled by the mason's axe, showing a honeycomb shape, which is used to store braised meat and cold drinks.

The one closest to the well is the kitchen. The shape of the kitchen is not like that of ordinary people's homes.Cai Xiaolan made full use of the uncontrolled conditions in ancient times. Except for the wall on the north side, there were only half walls on the other three sides.

Further inside is the place where tea drinkers rest their feet.There are six short long tables connected to the entrance, and two large private rooms are separated by straw curtains in the innermost part.

For small businesses, there is no need to set up a special counter to collect money.It was the four walls here that Cai Xiaolan asked Wang Ji to write and decorate.

Behind the main room, there is a small vegetable garden.In the corner of the vegetable garden, there is also a toilet.Cai Xiaolan is thoughtful.Most of the guests who come and go are men.But you can't ignore the fact that there are women accompanying you.The vegetable garden is surrounded by lush vegetation and is close to the water, providing a strong sense of privacy.

Ten steps away from the vegetable garden, there is a small pier.

Cai Xiaolan is squatting on the pier right now, handling the chicken in her hand.In summer, food spoils quickly, so it is best to kill and eat now.

"Sister-in-law, here comes the hot water!" Cui Dongping hobbled over carrying the hot water.

Cai Xiaolan was afraid that the hot water she used to scald chicken feathers would burn her own hair, so she shouted loudly: "Leave it alone, be careful not to burn yourself."

It took half an hour to process three chickens.After cleaning up, Cai Xiaolan first stuffed a handful of onions, ginger, garlic and other spices into the chicken's belly, then wrapped the chicken layer by layer with lotus leaves from the river, and finally spread a thick layer of soil on top. .

……

No need to be original, the speed is naturally fast.Cui Boyan was in charge of the stickers, and Wang Ji was in charge of writing.Within an hour, poems were written on the walls around the main room.

"Go, call Xiaolan over and ask her what words are mentioned on the plaque?" Wang Ji told Cui Boyan to invite the owner of the house.

After a while, Cai Xiaolan came.

In order to prepare the meal, I kept picking orchids without stopping. My whole body was soaked, as if I had fished them out of the water.Fortunately, the clothes were made of coarse cloth. If they had to change to light-colored silk fabrics, Cui Boyan would scold her again.

"The naming of your hard work will be left to you!" Wang Ji handed over the pen and motioned to Cai Xiaolan to make a draft first.

Twenty days of hard work were witnessed by everyone.

"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Cai Xiaolan put the pen on the paper and quickly searched for a good name for the teahouse in her mind.

Cui Lushi and Li Yunguang were chatting in the kitchen. When they saw movement at the gate, they quickly ran out to watch the excitement.

Cai Xiaolan was very confused. At this time, tea was not yet widely known.They are only found in some high-rise courtyards.The most popular one is sencha.If her name contains the word "tea", it will definitely be difficult for others to understand it.

"Why don't we call it Tianfu Jucaiju!" Cai Xiaolan finally wrote, and five lowercase letters fell on the paper.

"Blessings from heaven are wonderful!"

"Luck and joy from heaven!"

"Elegant and popular, not bad!"

Except for Cui Dongping, who cannot read, everyone appreciated the charm of the name of the teahouse.And Wang Ji immediately wrote five big characters, and it was completed in an instant.

"Brother Wang's handwriting is still so handsome!" Li Yunguang praised, turned around and looked around, "Brother Wang gave me this great gift, so I can't eat in vain!"

Li Yunguang thought for a while, "The paper will be damaged soon, why don't I peel it off, ask someone to frame it, and then hang it up, wouldn't it last forever?"

"It's a good gift, let's take it as a wish for the opening!" Cai Xiaolan bowed to the two of them.

"The little girl has prepared a light meal, and I invite you two to move!"

Under the guidance of Cai Xiaolan, Li Yunguang and Wang Ji arrived at the corner of the hall's courtyard, where there was a bonfire.The fire was not big.

"Are you planning to roast chicken? Roast lamb leg? It's too hot to eat this in summer!" Li Yunguang shouted.As for food, he was disappointed with Cai Xiaolan for the first time.Just now he saw Cai Xiaolan handling chickens by the river, and he sent someone back to call his two sons.

Wang Ji also shook his head. Mutton is best eaten in winter, but not so good in summer. "It's useless for me to ask people to go back and get the wine!"

"Two adults, please be patient. We'll find out later. I'll make sure you haven't eaten this!" Cai Xiaolan vowed.

Something that only existed in the Qing Dynasty was strange when it appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

Cai Xiaolan asked the two adults to sit down, and went to the kitchen to fetch food.But Cui Boyan's emotional intelligence suddenly increased, and he moved out of the house with a low stool and a long table.

Cai Xiaolan washed two baskets of vegetables and dumped them all on the table.The others are all familiar with Cai Xiaolan, since she said she has tricks, they kneel and sit on their respective low stools, waiting to eat.

Xiaolan's movements became faster and faster.I saw her sharply separating the vegetables by type, and then placing the cut braised meat on the spread vegetable leaves.There is also a large bowl of egg sauce in the middle.There are water cakes cut into cubes on the corner of the table.

"Come!" Cai Xiaolan made a sample first, took a piece of extremely thin water cake, spread sauce on it, added some vegetables and marinated meat at will, rolled it up, and ate a big mouthful.

The others learned it well and ate it into their mouths one by one.

"Wonderful!"

"Not bad!"

"It's worth it!"

"If you have good food, how can you not have good wine! Wait a moment, everyone, I have already sent my servants home to fetch wine." Wang Ji laughed and boasted of his foresight.
