Chapter 69 Chapter 10 Blueprint

Strictly speaking, the quality of the tea leaves I stole is not very good, Mu Qingxiang thinks that her uncle should be dismissive of these tea leaves.After listening to it, I realized that these teas are indeed not high-grade, and there is no whereabouts of the pumpkin head tea in the room. Could it be that my uncle has finished drinking it?Back then, the tea leaves that my grandfather drank at home were so precious that it was almost like a panda in the tea leaves.After thinking about it, I suspect that my uncle has a better collection of tea, because the pumpkin head tea is not found, and it is estimated that this tea and other better teas are stored in another place.

I am extremely regretful, I knew I would look for a few more places at that time, and I was so happy when I saw the porcelain vases containing tea leaves, why would I want to find other places.But now I can only make do with it, I can't steal it now, at least I have to wait a day later.Mu Qingxiang didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and soon I was perfunctory.In order to better learn how to recognize tea with eyes closed, I listened to Mu Qingxiang's lectures all afternoon, and I was very energetic all the time, so I didn't doze off. When it was almost evening, I didn't want to have dinner with my uncle's family anymore. I originally planned to ask Mu Qingxiang to go to the village for a toothbrush festival, but she refused to go.The food Huang Dejun cooked was not tasty, and I couldn't resist Mu Qingxiang, so I assumed that she didn't like to show her face outside, so I stopped trying to persuade her.But even if the food Huang Dejun cooks is delicious, facing my uncle's family, even if they give me dragon liver and phoenix lung, I won't have an appetite.

When I left Mu Qingxiang's room, she told me: "You go out, remember not to drink alcohol, and don't eat anything that smells too strong, otherwise it will affect the effect of the tea test." I said oh, in fact, I was going to drink. I can't drink, and I can't eat strong food, so what's the point of eating.But it's rare that Mu Qingxiang is willing to teach me, she can do whatever she says, as long as she doesn't tell me to eat shit.Back then, my father taught me all the time, not even letting me touch the tea leaves, so now I am bullied by my uncle so that I have no power to fight back.Fortunately, I met Mu Qingxiang, otherwise I would have fled in desperation long ago, how could I dare to stay here to make a fool of myself.

I walked to the opposite room and wanted to ask my second cousin if he wanted something outside. He couldn't go out, but I could buy him some delicious food and come in.The three cousins ​​were all in the room. I opened the door of my second cousin, only to find that he was still sleeping.I remember that my second cousin had been asleep for a long time, so I wanted to push him to wake him up.However, the second cousin slept heavier than a pig, and couldn't wake up no matter what. I heard my second cousin snoring loudly, and thought that he might be really sleepy, so I didn't continue to quarrel with him.I secretly looked at the little cousin and the big cousin through the crack of the door, and they were both asleep.I stared at the eldest brother hesitantly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the uncle's family. The old man got a strange disease, and the young one loved to sleep. Who are these people?I was fascinated by the fact that Lao Yan came out of the house. He lived in the same wing room as his three cousins. When he saw me, he greeted me politely.

I was caught straight, so I smiled awkwardly and excused that I wanted to chat with my second cousin, who knew he was asleep.I don't know if Lao Yan was suspicious, but he stared at me for a few seconds, and then Huang Dejun walked in through the front door, and Lao Yan and Huang Dejun went to the back room to meet his uncle.I patted my chest. For a moment just now, I even thought that Lao Yan was going to kill me.I saw Huang Dejun bought another fat hen, and my saliva flowed out. The big hen saw me and clucked in fright. Looking at the hen, I suddenly remembered something. I always felt that the dead chicken that was thrown outside the main hall earlier was not a prank.

In the evening, I went out to enjoy it alone. When I came back, they were all full, or they had finished eating without enough.For this reason, my little cousin hated me so much that she even complained to my uncle, saying that I ate my food and left everyone to spend time outside.The uncle's face was dark, but he didn't speak. He gave me a majestic look, and he walked to the back room with Lao Yan and Huang Dejun.However, the three cousins ​​all seemed very tired, and each of them was weak. After the little cousin finished killing me, she couldn't get mad anymore. In the middle of the night, the street lights in Huangcuoli were turned on. If I hadn’t seen these products of modern civilization, I would sometimes mistakenly think that I was in the Republic of China era.Mu Qingxiang walked behind me, carrying the prepared tea leaves, and I walked ahead like a thief, for fear that my uncle would suddenly run out.Everyone was already asleep, so I called Mu Qingxiang out after I was sure. At first I was worried that she might be sleepy, but I didn't expect her to be more energetic than me.

The kitchen is behind the main hall, where my uncle and Huang Dejun also live, but the kitchen is in the south corner of the main hall, a long distance from the master bedroom.Because of the sea wind and the sound of the waves as cover, unless my uncle got up to pee in the middle of the night, he would not be able to find us.When we entered the kitchen, neither Mu Qingxiang nor I turned on the light, I was afraid of being discovered, and Mu Qingxiang wanted me to better practice recognizing tea with my eyes closed. The kitchen is spacious, at least bigger than the room we live in.It is often said that to judge whether a family is rich or powerful, it depends on the size of its kitchen.Through the street lamp outside the kitchen, we can vaguely see everything in the kitchen, including four or five stoves. It is a pity that Huang Dejun lives here alone. If it is distributed to homeless people ,that would be nice.

As soon as Mu Qingxiang came in, she lit a fire immediately. She found some dry firewood in the kitchen. Although there was an electric stove in the kitchen, she insisted on using firewood.I didn't want to stand around like a fool, so I searched for the tea set in the dark.Since the uncle came to live here, he will definitely order Huang Dejun to prepare tea sets, but it is very likely that the uncle is too lazy to use other people's tea sets and has already brought a set of tea sets. It is difficult to fathom the temper of rich people. My eyes are not as good as Mu Qingxiang, she seems to be able to find dry wood with her eyes closed, she is simply inhuman.I staggered a few times, and finally found a cupboard in the corner of the kitchen, but when I opened it, it was full of plates and bowls, and there were no teapots or cups at all.There are several similar cabinets next to the cupboard. I fumbled to open it, and finally found tea bowls, tea trays, tea cups and other things inside.

The cabinet containing the tea sets had a dusty smell as soon as it was opened, which made me cough a few times. It seems that this cabinet has not been opened for a long time.I originally suggested to use the bowls for eating directly, but Mu Qingxiang said that those bowls have been used for a long time, and they already have the taste of food, which will pollute the original taste of the tea.Mu Qingxiang picked up the firewood, walked straight to the stove inside, and then began to clean the stove. I saw that this stove is very small and different from other stoves, so I asked: "Why don't you choose a bigger one, this one is too small, when does the water have to boil before it boils?"

"This is the stove for making tea, don't you know?" Mu Qingxiang asked strangely. "I didn't know, last time I used an air stove to boil water. It's the first time I've seen a stove for making tea. My grandfather didn't use it before." I said aggrievedly. While washing the stove, Mu Qingxiang said, "You don't have to use an air stove to boil water. In the past, Lu Yu also chiseled a stone stove to make tea. In fact, tea is a multiple-choice question. There is no single answer. It will always be a question." will not have." We hid in the kitchen and chatted quietly. After Mu Qingxiang cleaned the stove, she wanted to put firewood into the stove, but she stopped immediately.I watched curiously, and saw Mu Qingxiang pushed aside the charcoal dust in the stove, revealing a black porcelain bottle inside.It is said that Lu Yu chiseled stones to build a tea stove in Guanshan, Yugan County, Jiangxi Province. Many years later, people dug out a bottle of high-quality tea from that tea stove.Only a corner of the porcelain vase was exposed, and I was immediately stunned. Could it be that there is a treasure hidden in the tea stove?

Mu Qingxiang pulled out the black porcelain bottle from the charcoal ashes, the body of the bottle was black and shiny, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with a strip of wax.I like this kind of surprise the most, so I couldn't help raising my voice, telling Mu Qingxiang to open the black porcelain bottle immediately.This porcelain bottle doesn't seem to have been put in recently. I just noticed that the tea stove hasn't been used for many years, otherwise Mu Qingxiang wouldn't be willing to use it after washing it for a long time.Huang Dejun is not a tea lover, which can be seen from his daily life, otherwise he would have invited us to drink tea. In the dark, Mu Qingxiang lightly scratched the wax with a bamboo knife, and quickly opened the black porcelain bottle.I was also worried that Mu Qingxiang would hand over the black porcelain bottle to Huang Dejun immediately, but I didn't expect her to be as curious as me.This black porcelain bottle must have been hidden in the tea stove for many years. Huang Dejun absolutely didn't know about it. Presumably the person who hid the bottle wanted to keep it for someone who was destined.After Mu Qingxiang opened the black porcelain bottle, I looked forward to it, thinking it was gold, silver and jewelry, but who knew it was just a few rolls of waste paper. I did not give up and asked: "What information is on the paper, is it a treasure map?" Mu Qingxiang unwrapped the paper roll unhurriedly, glanced at it with piercing eyes, and said, "This should be the architectural blueprint of Huangcuo, as well as the house information of that year." When I heard the word blueprint, I hurriedly asked if there was something like a secret room in Huangcuo, but Mu Qingxiang took a cursory look and replied that I didn't have anything in those novels.I sighed in disappointment, Mu Qingxiang seemed to have forgotten to teach me how to learn tea, and was only busy studying the blueprint of Huangcuo.I stood bored for a while, then simply walked aside, trying to see what was hidden in the kitchen. After opening several cupboards in a row, they were full of ordinary porcelain, and there was nothing particularly precious.If the uncle were here, he would definitely say contemptuously that those bowls are for his dog, and no one would use them.Of course, no matter how domineering you are, you have to restrain yourself a bit, and you can't just throw away all the bowls, because then there will be nothing to serve your meals.I also smashed it in the eye of the other stove, but it was full of charcoal ashes, not even a sweet potato. No need for others to tell me, I can feel that Huangcuo is very mysterious, but unfortunately Huang Dejun is dumb and can't ask anything.I moved slowly in the cloudy light, and looked at Mu Qingxiang from time to time, she was still studying the blueprint.I can't help but wonder who Mu Qingxiang is, who knows both tea and architectural blueprints.Turning around in the kitchen, I found a staircase where the firewood was piled up. At the end of the staircase was a mass of darkness. I wondered if the upstairs was a place where food was piled up. Standing at the top of the stairs, I stopped hesitantly, as if the darkness at the end of the stairs was calling me.After standing silently for a while, I walked up the stairs slowly, wanting to go up to see the situation.I don't know if there are any lights upstairs, but fortunately, I brought a small flashlight with me before I came out, just in case of emergencies.The stairs seem not short, but they feel very long when I walk up. I feel like I walked for a few minutes before reaching the end. After walking up, I was about to turn on the flashlight, but Mu Qingxiang suddenly asked from below: "Lu Jianxin, where have you been?" I answered in a low voice, "I'm upstairs. There is a staircase where the firewood is placed. Come up and have a look." Mu Qingxiang asked suspiciously: "Where are you?" "I'm upstairs." I replied impatiently. "Are you upstairs?" Mu Qingxiang said in a strange tone. "Yeah, what's wrong?" I looked downstairs. "You can't be upstairs!" Mu Qingxiang said firmly. I thought it was funny, so I replied: "Why can't I, I'm upstairs now!" Who knows, Mu Qingxiang told me calmly: "You can't be upstairs, I just read the blueprint of Huangcuo three times, every place here is bungalows, there is no second floor at all!"
