Chapter 643 Introduction
After chatting for a few words, Zhang An took Cheng Peng and his party to the backyard.
The front yard is no longer suitable for entertaining people because it is filled with building materials for building sheep pens.
At this time, Wang Fang also came out with a pot of tea.
Zhang An picked up the teapot and poured everyone a cup.
It’s neither early nor late, nor is it time for meals. Tea is the most basic way to treat guests.
“Hey, this tea is not made from tea leaves, it feels different.”
Cheng Peng picked up the tea cup and took a sip, couldn’t help but reflect on it, then raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
Others had not taken action yet, but upon hearing this, they all picked up the tea and tasted it.
“Yes, this is made from honeysuckle, you can try it.”
Zhang An smiled slightly and explained to everyone.
"Oh? Are they the ones picked in the courtyard last year? The taste is indeed good, but it is still much worse than your tea."
Chen Ze also tasted it carefully. I took a few sips and then compared it with the tea from Zhang An's house before.
However, honeysuckle is always honeysuckle, and it grows from the outside. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the tea leaves in space.
“Originally, I have promised everyone that your tea is excellent, no worse than wine. But now you have made a pot of honeysuckle, so I’m afraid it won’t come true if I say it. "
"There's nothing I can do about it. Last year's tea was out of stock yesterday, so I can only use this honeysuckle first."
In this regard, Zhang said. An was also caught off guard.
Speaking of which, tea is as common a necessity at home as rice oil.
Because a lot of tea was roasted last year, weighing dozens of kilograms. With such a large reserve, Zhang An usually doesn't care about the inventory at home.
Because of this, when Wang Fang suddenly told him in the morning that the tea at home was gone, he was stunned.
In fact, even if Zhang An's family drinks tea every day, they won't use much tea throughout the year, but there are too many people coming to ask for it.
Even though Zhang An had so much inventory last year, the supply was still in short supply.
So at the beginning of spring this year, their tea supply has been cut off.
Although the space can be picked at any time, it is not time to pick new tea, so it is not easy for him to take out so many tea leaves rashly.
So now when Wang Fang makes tea, she has to use the honeysuckle harvested and processed last year instead.
But let’s not talk about it. I am used to drinking tea, but suddenly I changed it to this honeysuckle, and it tasted different.
Although after the honeysuckle is soaked, the tea will have a slightly bitter taste, but because their family has always used space spring water to make tea, the subtle bitter taste disappeared and was replaced by The entrance has a long and sweet aftertaste.
"Isn't it possible? I remember you looked like you were speculating on tea leaves for several days last year."
Suddenly hearing Zhang An say that their tea leaves were gone, Chen Ze immediately said: A look of disbelief on his face.
Because he saw it with his own eyes when Zhang An's family was making tea last year, and they spent several days in a row.
"There's a lot of speculation, but no matter how much it is, I can't stop you guys from picking it up."
Hearing Chen Ze's words, Zhang An could only helplessly spread his hands.
I couldn't help complaining. This guy Qiang only remembered how much stock his family had prepared, but he forgot that he came over from time to time to pick up some.
“Well, it’s not that big of a deal. Although I’ve gained a lot, it’s only been three to five kilograms in this year.”
Hearing Zhang An’s complaint, Chen Ze scratched his head in embarrassment.
But as soon as he said these words, he found Zhang An staring at him.
It was then that he remembered that he was not the only one who usually came to Zhang An's house to collect wool.
Not to mention, in addition to him, there are Ding Yi, Li Hongbin and a few other people from Dongli Courtyard who often come to buy. In addition to other people Zhang An knows, it seems that there are indeed some It's too much.
And four or five kilograms of tea is already a lot. If you put it in an ordinary household, even if you can't drink it for a year, you can still manage it for half a year.
Especially for needle buds like Zhang An’s, you only need a little bit each time to brew a pot.
"Okay, okay, what a big deal, this year's new tea will be coming soon. Then you can just fry more. At worst, I can just fry less this year."
Know your own. It was wrong, Chen Ze could only promise.
Actually, Chen Ze doesn’t need to say this at all. Zhang An himself has decided that when the new tea is picked this year, he must do more. By then, he must set aside his own special tea, and he can no longer be like Same now.
After half the payment, the two of them finished bickering like enemies, and the others seemed to be having fun.
To be honest, they never thought that the young master Chen Ze would look like this.
"Brother Zhang An, we are here this time not only for a visit, but also for the wine we agreed on before."
Wait until Chen Ze and Zhang An stop bickering , Cheng Peng said.
"It's easy to say, but this wine is still in my cellar. If you want to take it back, you can wait until you come back to pick it up."
The wine he had stored in the cellar before. Although a batch of wine hasn’t been aged very long, it’s good to cellar it for one more day.
“Hahaha, actually we are going back tomorrow, so we came here to pick it up today.”
They had already heard from Chen Ze about Zhang An's wine being buried in the cellar.
That's why I came here today. Otherwise, I might have come yesterday.
"I see, then you wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
Hearing this, Zhang An nodded and said nothing more.
Then he entered the cellar and after some digging, he found seven jars of blood rice brew that everyone needed.
"Here, they are all here. They were just dug out. You can open them and check them out."
Zhang An took out the seven jars and put them on the table. Everyone said that because it had just been dug out, there was still a lot of soil attached to the altar wall.
"That's not necessary. We still believe in Brother Zhang An. It doesn't have to be like this."
As for the inspection that Zhang An said, Cheng Peng simply shook his head and refused. .
With Chen Ze here, he felt that it was impossible for Zhang An to deceive them with fake wine.
If it was really fake wine, then he admitted it.
"Brother Zhang An, did you make this wine yourself? Just by looking at the mud seal, you can tell that the craftsmanship of this wine cellar is extraordinary."
Cheng Peng was the first to take it. He placed the two altars in front of him. After observing them for a while, he gave Zhang An a thumbs up.
As a qualified wine guru, he has actually tasted a lot of good wines in his life. In addition to the famous wines that can be bought on the market, there are even some old wines that have been collected by others.
Even though he has personally seen many old cellars dug out of the ground, the mud seals are not as good as Zhang An's.
So based on this alone, he already believed that there would be no lies in it. In addition, he planned to take this wine back to honor the elders in his family. It would not be beautiful if the clay seal was opened.
Several other people, like Cheng Peng, did not open it, but just held their own in front of them.
As the saying goes, one hand pays and the other hand delivers the goods. With Chen Ze here, the order is reversed.
Now that the goods have been received, it is time to pay for the goods. Cheng Peng and everyone handed over their wine money.
Since they didn't test the wine, Zhang An would naturally not fall behind and count the money in front of others.
But not counting in front of others does not mean that he cannot count. After receiving the money, Zhang An stuffed it into his pocket.
In fact, he put it into the space. With a thought, he already knew the amount of money clearly.
"Brother Zhang An, can you take us to see your sheep? It seems that Aze just said that in addition to black goats, you also have wild goats here. We haven't seen them yet."
The transaction was completed, Cheng Peng said with a smile again.
“Of course you can, come with me.”
Zhang An has no problem with this. Before the village built a deer park, their family was already considered a leader in this circle. As for the miniature zoo, many people go there to watch it every day.
“Hey, you actually have wolves here?”
As soon as they entered the big circle, Jin Wen and others were frightened by the tiger cubs and big dogs entrenched in the circle. light.
“Hahaha, you must be scared, they are not wolves, but dogs raised by Zhang An’s family.”
Seeing that everyone was frightened, Chen Ze laughed and teased a few people before Zhang An opened his mouth.
“This...is actually a dog?”
Jin Wen said in disbelief when he heard this.
"Little Tiger and the others are indeed dogs, but they are a combination of Wolf Green and Mountain Green Wolf, so they look more like wolves than other dogs."
At this time, Zhang An stood up. Explained to everyone.
"So that's it, I said they are more like wolves than the wolves in the zoo."
Hearing these words, most of the fear in the hearts of several people disappeared instantly, but When passing by Xiaohu and the others, they were still very cautious and followed Zhang An.
“Okay everyone, this is our sheep pen. Here are the local black goats, the one we ate the night before yesterday, and the group over there are the wild goats Chen Ze mentioned.”< br>
When he arrived in the circle, Zhang An pointed and introduced to everyone.
“Those wild goats look so funny. They have such long beards. Are they really wild goats? Or are they just one species?”
Several women just glanced at the group of black goats, and their attention was quickly attracted by the bantam sheep next to them.
"They are really wild goats in the mountains. It's just that I caught some from the mountains before and raised them and they became so many. Chen Ze also knows this."< br>
Hearing the questions from several women, Zhang An naturally explained with a smile.
Over the past few years, there have been many people like them who have asked such questions.
“Yes, these sheep are really wild. Once, when Zhang An and I went hunting in the mountains, we wanted to hunt a few deer, but we encountered a group of wild goats.”
In front of this group of friends in the city, Chen Ze talked very proudly about the time when he and Zhang An and others went hunting in the mountains.
And he also emphasized the matter of the wild goat's head kneeling down to Zhang An.
"That's great. I have never gone hunting in the mountains. If you go there next time, remember to call me."
For Chen Ze to go hunting in the mountains, Cheng The eyes of Peng and the other men were full of envy.
"Of course. If I have a chance next time, I will tell you in advance."
Before Zhang An opened his mouth, Chen Ze agreed.
The main reason was that he knew that it would not be good if Zhang An agreed or not, so he took the call. Anyway, it was up to him to inform or not.
After all, hunting in the mountains is no small matter. People like them who have never been in the mountains need to be protected when they go into the mountains.
But Ran Xia and the other girls had different concerns. There were tears in their eyes, and they were all moved by the spirituality of the leader.
"By the way, is that a deer over there? And what are those ugly things."
After a while, the eyes were filled with tears just a second ago. Several women pointed to the other half of the circle and asked in the next second.
“Well, they are not deer, they just look very similar to deer, but they are distant relatives of deer. Their name is forest deer, and we also call it fragrant deer here, and you call them ugly. That one is also their distant relative, called the muntjac.”
After listening to the words of several women, Zhang An couldn’t laugh or cry, and sighed inwardly that the first impression of a woman is indeed her appearance.
“Fragrant deer? Then their meat must be delicious, after all, there is a fragrant character in their name.”
He was so ugly that no one took him seriously, and everyone’s attention quickly fell on him. Focus on those fragrant deer.
"Seriously, you can eat whatever you want. This fragrant deer is a treasure. Do you know what the hard-to-find musk is."
So, Chen Ze found another opportunity to show off in front of everyone.
He didn't know anything else about Zhang An's family, but he was very familiar with these fragrant deer.
He actually didn’t know it before, but after following Zhang An to fetch musk several times, he realized that this thing was completely a golden hen.
“Hiss, that musk must be produced by this thing.”
After hearing Chen Ze’s words, several people’s eyes widened again. They did not expect this ugly thing. Son, turned out to be that kind of rare treasure.
"Well, didn't you hear that there is a musk in their names? That's where the musk comes from."
Being able to show off in front of a few people, Chen Ze I'm very happy. As expected, there is no end to learning. When I pretend to be successful, I feel very happy.
"Brother Zhang An is indeed a strange person who can even raise such a treasure."
Although they could tell before that Chen Ze and Zhang An had an unusual relationship, but They just thought that this person was lucky enough to befriend Chen Ze.
But now, Cheng Peng and others no longer regard Zhang An as an ordinary person in the mountains.
“That’s not all, Zhang An’s family also raised a large herd of deer.”
Even so, Chen Ze shook his head and continued.
Some people used to say that there was something wrong with his brain for coming to such a remote place in the mountains.
Now he wants to tell others that this mountain nook is really not accessible to anyone.
“Oh, there are deers? Where are they? Why haven’t I seen them?”
Women really like deers. When Chen Ze mentioned them, they immediately looked around for them.
"Those deer are not here now. In order for everyone to see them, they are all in the deer park in their village, kept together with other deer. You can go and take a look when you have time."
