Chapter 202 Tea Trees, Fruit Trees, and Winemaking

In order to take care of the three children, Yu Qingyi stayed in Chongshan Pass for another three days before she was ready to return to Anyuan City.

However, just as they were about to leave Chongshan Pass, the Marquis' Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter.

"Madam Yang, this is a letter from my Marquis to Lord Yang. Please take it back!"

A personal attendant handed a letter to Yu Qingyi respectfully. After receiving the letter, Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "Sorry, Ding Qiu, take this young man down to finish the tea!"

Ding Qiu responded, stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation. The personal attendant bowed and left the hall.

After they walked out of the hall, Ding Qiu took the personal attendant to the gatehouse in the front yard to sit for a while, and then gave a small bag of silver before sending him away.

After all, he was someone close to Changping Hou, so he naturally had to give a reward for delivering the letter.

In the hall, Yu Qingyi hesitated for a moment with the letter. She wanted to open it and take a look, but finally chose not to read it.

She felt that she was a woman and it was not good for her to pry into the affairs between men.

So she carefully put away the letter and prepared to return to Anyuan City.

It is always cumbersome for a wealthy family to travel, and there are many things to prepare.

Originally, the women who came out this time had to pay special attention to many things, and now there are three children, so there are more preparations to be made.

Fortunately, they brought enough people with them this time, otherwise it would be a real trouble.

Just as Yu Qingyi set out to return to Anyuan City, Yang Zhengshan in Anyuan City was busy in the Lingquan space.

In two years, the Lingquan space has expanded several times. Now the space has more than ten acres of land, which looks extremely vast.

The dark land is full of herbs and fruit trees, and the stone pool in the middle is led by Yang Zhengshan to several canals, spreading in all directions.

The one-meter-wide canal is built with bluestone and flows like a stream.

There are three wooden houses next to the stone pool. They were specially built by Yang Zhengshan to serve as warehouses, where most of his wealth is stored.

Most of the things he got more than two years ago are still piled up in the wooden houses.

Although Yang Zhengshan has taken away a lot of things in the past two years, the remaining things still fill up the three wooden houses.

In addition, the herbs harvested in the space were also stored by Yang Zhengshan after being processed.

Yang Zhengshan was reluctant to sell these herbs.

You should know that the herbs grown in the space are much better than those outside. If they are sold as ordinary herbs, Yang Zhengshan will definitely suffer a loss.

Anyway, the processed herbs can be stored for a long time, so Yang Zhengshan decided to keep them first.

In addition, Yang Zhengshan has also learned how to make wine in the past two years. He used the spiritual spring water and the herbs in the space to make a lot of wine, which are now stored in the cellar under the wooden house.

The efficacy of the medicinal wine brewed with spiritual spring water is needless to say.

Just like the Ten-Ingredient Pills, drinking a bowl can make you toss and turn all night. Although Yang Zhengshan can toss and turn all night without drinking, he is more energetic after drinking.

Yang Zhengshan even suspected that Yu Qingyi could not get pregnant because he tossed and turned too hard.

In the space, Yang Zhengshan first went to see the tea trees he had just planted not long ago. Seeing that a piece of tea trees was growing well, Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction.

Tea leaves are very valuable in Chongshan Town, especially good tea, which can be said to be more expensive than gold.

Yang Zhengshan has developed the habit of drinking tea, and in order to let himself drink good tea, he specially asked Luo Shang to ask someone to transport a batch of tea trees to Jiangnan.

Although there are not many tea trees now, Yang Zhengshan will definitely be able to drink tea freely in a few years.

Now Yang Zhengshan no longer needs to use the Lingquan space to make money. In fact, he has never used the Lingquan space to make money from beginning to end.

At first, he wanted to grow herbs to sell for money, but since he got that large sum of gold and silver, he no longer had to work hard to grow herbs to make money.

So now the herbs planted in the Lingquan space tend to cultivate precious medicines, and in addition to precious medicines, Yang Zhengshan also planted a lot of fruit trees.

The reason for planting fruit trees is that Chongshan Town lacks fruits, and Yang Zhengshan wants to give the children some fresh fruits to eat. The second reason is that he wants to brew some fruit wine. As for the third reason, it is to cultivate spiritual fruits.

Spiritual fruits are also a kind of precious medicine, but the number of spiritual fruits is less than that of precious medicines.

In Qianchong Mountain, one or two precious medicines occasionally appear, but there has never been a spiritual fruit.

If you want to find spiritual fruits, you can only look for them in the Wanli Mountains in the southwest of Darong.

Unlike most precious medicines, spiritual fruits are renewable resources.

Once the precious medicine is dug out, it will be gone, and you can only go to other places to find it, while after picking the spiritual fruit, it can bear fruit again after a few years or decades.

The Darong royal family has a spiritual fruit tree. It is said that Taizu became a martial arts master because of this spiritual fruit tree and had the foundation to fight for the world.

However, the spiritual fruit tree is a secret of the royal family. There are only some rumors in the outside world. Few people know what kind of tree this spiritual fruit tree is and where it is.

There are also rumors in the world that spiritual fruit trees are ordinary fruit trees that have grown after mutation, so Yang Zhengshan wants to try whether he can cultivate spiritual fruit trees in the spiritual spring space.

Yang Zhengshan shuttled through the lush orchard, looking at the ripe fruits one by one, scratching his head.

He seemed to have planted a lot of fruit trees.

There are peaches, plums, pear trees, apricot trees, jujube trees, etc., and they have all produced fruits at this time. It is impossible to finish eating so many fruits.

As for making wine, it doesn’t take so much.

"What a pity, it can only be wasted!"

Yang Zhengshan was helpless and could only pick the bamboo basket.

He is not a fruit seller, so he certainly cannot sell fruit.

Moreover, it was difficult for him to explain the source of so much fruit.

Take less to eat at home, you can say you bought it outside, but if it is sold in large quantities, it must have a source.

The most important thing is that he is not short of money now, so there is no need to do such a thing.

Yang Zhengshan then started to brew fruit wine. Brewing fruit wine is much simpler and does not require too many artificial factors. Just let it ferment naturally.

Just like ape wine, during the fruit ripening season, apes will throw leftover fruits into caves. When these fruits rot, the sugar will naturally ferment and turn into wine slurry, forming natural fruit wine.

This is the kind of fruit wine Yang Zhengshan wants.

It took most of the busy day for Yang Zhengshan to fill the seven or eight large tanks in the cellar.

Finally, he went to the orchard to have a look and picked a small basket of fruits before leaving the space.

As the space of Lingquan became larger and larger, he had given up on taking care of it carefully. In addition to the precious medicines that needed special attention, Yang Zhengshan was ready to let other plants grow naturally.

What he needs to do in the future is to transplant some plants that are not in the space from the outside to enrich the diversity of plants in the Lingquan space. In addition, he will lead water channels to the newly expanded land.

Apart from this, Yang Zhengshan had no time to do anything else.

After walking out of the space, Yang Zhengshan glanced outside the door and saw that no one was there, so he changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

He called Wu Hai over and said, "These fruits were just sent by the Luo family. Share them among the houses!"

The baskets of fruits weighed about fifty kilograms, and they all looked very fresh.

Although Wu Hai wondered where the Luo family got these fruits, he didn't ask any more questions.

As a servant, he must be cautious in his words and deeds. There are many things he cannot ask.

For example, he never asked about the official affairs of Qianya, and Yang Zhengshan never told him.

Another example is the dealings with the Luo family, which are all handled by Yang Zhengshan himself. Not even Yu Qingyi intervenes, let alone Wu Hai.

The Luo family is a good excuse. Now the Luo family has business dealings with many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. It is not difficult to transport some fruits from Jiangnan.

Of course, the fruits shipped must not be fresh, so there are still loopholes.

It’s just that no one cares about the origin of a basket of fruits, so this loophole becomes irrelevant.

Yang Zhengshan took two fist-sized peaches from the basket, then walked out of the yard with his sleeves in his sleeves and came to the stable.

There are more than a dozen handsome horses in the stable, the most conspicuous of which is Hongyun.

From Yang Zhengshan's perspective, Hongyun is the dragon and phoenix among horses, the handsome among horses.

With a shoulder height of two meters, he looks like a little monster.

Even standing among these excellent war horses, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Xilulu~~

Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Hongyun's big Kazilan eyes suddenly lit up, she screamed, and kept tapping the ground with her hooves.

"Master, I brought you delicious food!"

Yang Zhengshan stepped forward and reached out to stroke its mane.

The fiery red mane is smooth and soft, and feels extremely comfortable to the touch.

He handed two peaches to Hongyun, and Hongyun swallowed them one by one.

After eating, he rubbed his head against Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "Come on, let's take you out for a run!"

With that said, he untied Hongyun's reins and led him out of the stable.

As soon as he walked out of the stable, Hongyun became restless. This guy's physique was getting stronger and stronger, and his energy seemed to be endless, so he was very reluctant to stay in the stable.

That is, in the Yang family, otherwise it would run out and run wild on its own.

Yang Zhengshan jumped on the horse and said, "Slow down, wait until you get out of the city before running!"

Soon, one man and one horse walked out of the Yang family's mansion, and when Yang Zhengshan walked out of the gate, ten of his followers immediately followed him on horseback.

Yang Zhengshan was surrounded by twenty personal followers, the same twenty soldiers he had brought from Yinghe Fort.

They do nothing on weekdays and live in the yard next to Yang's house. Once Yang Zhengshan goes out, they will take turns following him.

A group of eleven riders were walking on the street. Many people on the street gave way when they saw this. However, the people did not feel disgusted or dissatisfied. Instead, many people clasped their fists and saluted Yang Zhengshan.

In response, Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded.

As an official, Yang Zhengshan is very close to the people. On weekdays, he often walks out, either to Chengguan Fort or to Tunpu outside the city. Sometimes he goes shopping with his family.

Therefore, the people in the city are very familiar with him.

Yang Zhengshan has never bullied the people or done any messy things, so the people still respect him very much.

Of course, if he goes to Tunpu, then this respect will turn into respect.
