Chapter 263 Try to ignore Chu Lan

"Well, I haven't studied for a few years." Wei Ruo replied, "I'm not expected to study, otherwise I would have passed the exam."

"Mr. Xu's medical skills are so high."

"I know the name of the medicine, and the rest are taught by the master himself." Wei Ruo replied.

The implication is that I can't read medical books, so I can only write prescriptions and recognize a few commonly used words.

"In this case, I can only do the ghostwriting." Fan Chengxu didn't think there was any problem, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and Xu Heyou already has many strengths, so it's not a big deal to have this one shortcoming.

If he really knew everything he wanted, he would think it was too strange.

So Wei Ruo began to dictate, and Fan Chengxu began to write.

"The tea leaves are ventilated for two hours, and when they are half-dry, they need to be kneaded to knead the tea leaves into strips. This process takes about a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour. Then put the kneaded tea leaves into a bamboo basket and place them on the Cover with a damp cloth and put the basket on top of a soup bowl filled with water. This process is the fermentation process of the tea."

Fan Chengxu wrote down one by one, and at the same time was full of curiosity about what Wei Ruo said.

Chu Lan was also listening with great interest, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wei Ruo continued: "Afterwards, the tea leaves will be dried. Just use the baking vats used by the people of Taizhou Prefecture to dry bamboo shoots. After drying, they can be put into containers."

Although what Wei Ruo said was simple, for Fan Chengxu and Chu Lan who had seen tea handled in this way, what she said was full of novelty.

After listening to what Wei Ruo said, Fan Chengxu asked Wei Ruo some detailed questions.

"Master Xu, one of the processes you just mentioned is baking. I wonder how the baking should be done?" Fan Chengxu asked.

"It's better to bake slowly on a low fire. The drying process needs to be slow. Don't be impatient, so as to avoid the tea leaves from being burnt and affecting the taste." Wei Ruo answered.

"I don't know if Mr. Xu can teach you about the kneading technique in detail, otherwise I'm afraid that the people in my tea garden are not doing well enough."

"Then please trouble Boss Fan to call a few tea makers who have quick memories and learn quickly, and I will demonstrate it to them."

"No problem." Wei Ruo agreed.

The two chatted happily, leaving Chu Lan aside.

Wei Ruo, who had a serious discussion with Fan Chengxu, was much more relaxed than when he first faced Chu Lan.

Looking at Wei Ruo's side face, Chu Lan remembered the time when he was seriously injured and lived in the other's village, and he chatted with him so easily at that time.

He doesn't know why he misses getting along with him at that time, obviously it was the most difficult time for him.

After confirming the details, Fan Chengxu put down his pen and said to Wei Ruo: "Whether it is successful or not, I am really surprised that Mr. Xu can come up with such a method for processing tea."

"Boss Fan is overrated. I didn't come up with this method. It was taught to me by an old woman I met before." Wei Ruo replied.

"Oh? I see. It seems that the people Mr. Xu met in the past were not lacking in talented people." Fan Chengxu said.

Xu Heyou's medical skills are so good, his master must also be an expert.

"Boss Fan is absurd. I am a countryman, and the people I meet must not be comparable to those around Boss Fan." Wei Ruomong said modestly.

Fan Chengxu said: "You don't have to be so modest, you see, Mr. Zhu, like me, admires you."

Chu Lan said: "When Mr. Xu's fermented tea is made, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to ask for a drink?"

No luck.

Wei Ruo replied in his heart.

"Young Master Zhu is Boss Fan's distinguished guest, you can come to Boss Fan's place for a drink at any time." Wei Ruo replied.

She and Fan Chengxu both share this tea, if you want to drink it, just ask Fan Chengxu, why ask her.

"Yes." Chu Lan responded.

Fan Chengxu was snickering in his heart, it's really funny that Xu Heyou can make the proud Seventh Prince so deflated.

Not long after, Shopkeeper Shen brought two tea makers over. Wei Ruo demonstrated the rolling process to the two in person. The two were skilled tea makers and quickly mastered the art.

After making sure that the two had learned it, Wei Ruo didn't stay long, and left the two of them on the pretext that he still had something to do in his village.

"Let me see Mr. Xu off." Fan Chengxu said.

"No need, Boss Fan still has Mr. Zhu as a distinguished guest, so he should stay with the distinguished guest and let shopkeeper Shen take me down the mountain." Wei Ruo declined.

"I just plan to walk around, let Boss Fan take you down the mountain together."

Chu Lan stood up after speaking.

Seeing this situation, Fan Chengxu could only follow Chu Lan's words and say: "Yeah, brother Zong Yu is also very bored in my small courtyard in the mountains these days, so I just need to walk around."

If Wei Ruo couldn't say no, he didn't say anything else.

Then let the two of them accompany me down the mountain together.

On the way, Wei Ruo looked at the scenery around him, and tried to avoid talking with Chu Lan or making eye contact.

Fortunately, although Chu Lan hates it, she is not a talkative person, so she didn't catch her asking questions.

Several people walked to the foot of the mountain together, where the carriage that sent Wei Ruolai stopped.

Wei Ruo bid farewell to the two, then got into the carriage, and the coachman who sent Wei Ruolai drove Wei Ruo away from Yusheng Tea Garden again.

After the carriage traveled a certain distance, Xiumei who was sitting in the carriage let out a long sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death just now, I was by Miss's side, my palms were sweating."

"Before he left Taizhou Mansion, we stopped personally communicating with Boss Fan." Wei Ruo said.

Xiumei nodded her head like a pest: "That's good! I can't meet him again, it's too dangerous!"

###

On the first day of May, Wei Ruo received an invitation from Xu Yaojun, a lady from the Xu family, who invited her to watch the dragon boat race on the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

If the Dragon Boat Festival last year was held in Xingshan County, although there would be some rituals in Xingshan County, there would be no dragon boats to watch.

In contrast, the Dragon Boat Festival in Fucheng, Taizhou is much more lively. A dragon boat race is held every year, and this year is no exception.

"Miss, why did Miss Yaojun invite you? You are not familiar with her. You only met once when Mrs. Xu invited the wives and ladies from various families for an outing." Xiumei was curious and worried.

This Miss Xu family is not familiar with their young lady, but she is familiar with the second young lady! I'm afraid they have something bad in mind.

"Who knows what this girl is thinking." Wei Ruo couldn't tell.

"Miss, do you want to go?" Xiumei asked.

"No, I won't go if I can." Naturally, Wei Ruo didn't want to join in the fun.

From the day she returned to the Colonel's Mansion, she tried her best to avoid having too much contact with these young ladies from aristocratic families.

Wei Ruo decided to reject Xu Yaojun's invitation, so he planned to ask Xiumei to go to Tongzhifu the next day to pass on a message.

In the evening, when everyone was eating together, Wei Yichen also appeared.
