Farmhouse. Chef. Physician

Ye Jue rolled up his sleeves again. The matcha powder is made of tencha made from shading tea. The fresh tea leaves are dried on the same day. They are steamed and then ground into fine tea powder.

The raw materials are a little troublesome, but he has Zhou Zihan~ Flying Pigeon sent a letter, telling him that he seems to have thought of another super great idea, but what materials are needed, the latter will send it to him immediately, without hiccups .

Even if two-thirds of the chocolate is donated to the national treasury, the money he can earn is enough for him to lie flat.In addition, although he didn't enter the court, the emperor paid him a lot of attention, allowing him to hold his head up at home. Born to a few aunts, do you really think that you are great after reading a few books?I'm afraid you haven't even seen the emperor, have you?But I know that the emperor has beans on his waist!Tsk tsk, what does this mean?Explain that he is not a close minister, but he seems to be a close minister.

Zhou Zihan thought about it, read the letter again, and felt that since Ye Jue said that the taste is as important as cocoa, there should be no delay, the matter is of great importance, and it might cause a disturbance in his heart, so he immediately ignored the New Year's Eve and directly Get on the horse and run to the embrace of Longsan Ridge.

Then he realized that his trip was worthwhile... Whoops, what if he's going to make a lot of money again?What can I do if the family can't put down so much money?It's really sad, I have to buy another house to store money.

Moreover, matcha is not as difficult to obtain as cocoa, but Ye Jue said that the production process is more troublesome, and he is very particular about it.

It’s okay, the more exquisite the better, the more exquisite the taste, the more unique the taste, the less others will know about this craft, wouldn’t it be possible for me to make more money?

The more he thought about it, the happier Zhou Zihan waved his hand, bought a few tea houses, and planned to promote everything with matcha flavor in the spring.

The fragrance of matcha tea is overflowing, the taste is slightly bitter, and the aftertaste is endless, with a long aftertaste.

There is no matcha in this world, Ye Jue only thinks of pastries and snacks, but what Zhou Zihan and Wei Hexuan think of is a kind of tea ceremony.

"Can you lend me your stupid dog for two days?" It would be best if it could be used for a lifetime...

"I can let you sleep until you wake up." He hugged the stupid dog who was still talking about something delicious with his fingers, put it in his arms, and carried him away.

"Cut, how stingy." Zhou Zihan muttered, "Hey, Xiao Jue, how do you drink matcha alone?"

"Oh, it's really particular!" Ye Jue clenched his fists, "I need tea sets and matching refreshments."

"Tell me."

"How to divide the money?" Let's talk after the negotiation.

...Actually, Silly Dog is not stupid at all, really.

Ye Anzhen likes the taste of matcha, and Ye Jue will make him many beautiful biscuits, such as threaded ones, such as pandas, such as kittens, small flowers and so on.

"Brother, why is there no puppy?" Ye Xiaoan asked curiously.

"Because the puppies belong to your brother Hexuan..."

"That's it..." Then I will never eat puppy biscuits in my life.

Ye Xin saw jealousy from the side, but he felt that the bitter and astringent biscuits were not delicious, and the chocolate was still delicious.

When he returned to the school, Ye Zhide asked him anxiously, "Did you get Fang?" It's been almost half a year, why hasn't there been any news, this kid is also useless.

"No, they don't allow me to go upstairs, what's wrong with me?" Ye Xin said angrily, "There are two guards standing at the door of the kitchen, but, these days, my brother and a man surnamed Zhou are studying matcha and so on. It’s a new flavor that’s going to be released in the spring.” He said and took a few biscuits to his fourth uncle, “I think this food is really unpalatable, it must not sell well, it’s not as good as chocolate.”

Ye Zhide was not as short-sighted as Ye Xin, and his eyes lit up when he sang, "Is this made of green tea?"

"Well, I see that someone sent him a lot of tea leaves and ground them into powder. There doesn't seem to be any skill in them." Ye Xin said casually.

Ye Zhide is short of money, and he also knows that if Ye Jue makes something, there will definitely be a market. They plan to launch it in the spring, so he will sell the idea or recipe to his family with the family he agreed with last time. Getting a sum of money can also embarrass Ye Jue severely!And he, in spring, also has money to catch up for the exam.

"Is there a recipe for chocolate?" Ye Zhide still refused to give up.

"No," Ye Xin rolled his eyes angrily, "But he seems to be busy making a lot of chocolates these days. I see that there are several boxes of chocolates. It seems that someone wants it." Thinking about it, I felt sour, thinking to myself Don't even give a piece of food, is it still dear ^brother?

But Ye Xin didn't think about it either. Does his family lack a bite to eat?Really dissatisfied.

"How many?" Ye Zhide listened and changed his mind to something else.

"I think there are about ten boxes of such a big box, and it's almost finished. I said that I will ship it to someone else for a while, and then start making other chocolate desserts." Ye Xin's eyes showed envy, "Fourth uncle, who is it?" With so much money, you want so much chocolate."

"Such a large amount should not be asked by anyone, but by his boss, and he will sell it at that time." Ye Zhide thought in his heart, a piece of chocolate is only one tael of silver, so much, I am afraid it will cost several thousand taels. Just in case, if you can get these chocolates... "Where did your brother put the things?"

"In the cellar, Fourth Uncle wants it?" Ye Xin rolled his eyes and said immediately, "Fourth Uncle don't forget me when the time comes."

"I can't do without you." Ye Zhide snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't hesitate to steal his own things, it was really a wolf-hearted thing, "But we took the goods secretly, your brother can't hand over things to his boss."

Ye Xin disdainfully said, "It doesn't matter to me, let alone my brother doesn't care about me, so why can't I make plans for my future? When is fourth uncle going to do it?"

"You should ask when the chocolate will be released first." Ye Zhide decided to buy the idea of ​​matcha tea powder first. If the purchase is good, he will not take the risk. There is no way out for Ye Jue.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ye Xin again, if Ye Jue pursued it, let him be a scapegoat, it's not a good thing anyway.

Ye Zhide had already found the next home for the chocolate recipe, but the other party was a little indifferent when he saw that Ye Zhide hadn't brought the recipe for a long time.

Today Ye Zhide said that the other party had a new product, and he knew what it was, so he sold him the idea.

It's just that the dim sum made with pure tea powder has a mediocre taste, and they don't know how to make those Western-style dim sum at all. The taste of Chinese-style dim sum is just the same, but it's okay if it's novel.

In the end, the businessman gave Ye Zhide 100 taels, saying that this idea was worth the money, and if he wanted more, he could just exchange the chocolate recipe, and 1 taels would be fine.

Ye Zhide looked at the bank note and was so angry that he knew that the other party was pressing him for money, but he had no choice but to say, "I know that there is a farmer who has a lot of chocolates. There are probably ten boxes like this."

Hearing these words, the merchant's mind moved. After all, chocolate is equal to money. There are so many goods, but they are worth a lot of silver. "Where does that family live?"

"Boss Ma wants to know?" Ye Zhide smiled.

Boss Ma, who was called Boss Ma, looked at him and smiled, without saying anything.

Ye Jue didn't know that he was being watched. He planned to have the chocolate and matcha brought to the man in Beijing at the same time, so he needed to work overtime on many things.

Zhou Zihan thought that there was nothing important to do during this period of time, so he stayed here with Ye Jue, and when things were ready, they went to Beijing together.

But who knows, not long after he ate, drank, and lived a peaceful life, shopkeeper Liu in the town suddenly came to him early one morning.

Zhou Zihan looked at shopkeeper Liu who was panting in front of him with a gloomy face, "You mean, there is actually something to buy matcha outside?"

"That's right." Shopkeeper Liu was also anxious to death. He was valued by Dong Zhou's family because Ye Jue lived here, so he knew something. Now that he found out about this situation, he felt uneasy and anxious, fearing that he would lose a lot of money this time. Silver.

Ye Jue grabbed a piece of shortbread, which was similar to shortbread with dried plums and vegetables on the outside, with sweet fillings on the inside, dark green on the outside, and a little black in color.There is indeed a smell of tea in the mouth, but it does not have the pure taste of matcha.

"Do you know how it was revealed?" Ye Jue frowned.

"The boss behind the other party is called Ma, and his cousin is the magistrate here." Shopkeeper Liu didn't care as he said that, after all, the other party was also the magistrate, and he was the son of the Zhou family in front of him, so what was he afraid of?

"Find out who gave it to them." He said and looked at Ye Jue. Everyone present knew that it must be an insider. "What should we do now?"

"Strictly deal with it. After finding out who it is, strictly deal with the surname Ma." Ye Jue's face was gloomy. Matcha, the timing is almost right when new teas are on the market, and your matcha should also be produced in energy."

Zhou Zihan is in business, so he can understand Ye Jue's meaning. This is that I used the power of public opinion to copy unsold matcha to Dingsheng, and once it was released, their matcha and this are not in the same world at all. The fragrance of matcha is unparalleled and has a long aftertaste.

"In addition, you can also give it to a few scholars who are quite knowledgeable or famous, and they can scold or praise you." Ye Jue turned his head and thought for a while, "As long as there is a topic and a little noise, matcha will become a household name, and we define matcha as Among the literati, those who are idle and hurting readers like this set the most. If there is a topic, they like to highlight their differences. Let them say whether it is good or bad. The taste of matcha is placed there, and it can’t be bad. go there."

Zhou Zihan agreed in his heart, "I will do as you said, and let the surname Ma buy it for a few more days."

"As for the internal thief, I will deal with it." Ye Jue said with a cold face.

Ye Xin received a small sum of money from his fourth uncle, a total of 20 taels. He had never seen so much money, and he was so happy that he went crazy.

Ye Zhide told him that the matcha he bought was not very good, and the other party only gave him 60 taels of silver, and he gave him 20 taels, and asked Ye Xin when he could clarify the recipe of the chocolate and the place where the chocolate was stored. Money can be more.

Ye Xin held the 20 taels and asked him, "How much can I give?"

"Fang Zi will give you 1 taels." Ye Zhide said to him gently, "If you tell me where the chocolates are stored, and tell me when the guards are on shift, you can get 500 taels after the time. Think about it, and you have it." With this money, it won’t be difficult for you to start your own business in the future.”

Ye Xin obviously listened, he hates it very much now, every time he goes back to ask for money, Ye Jue gives him money as if giving him alms.

If there is a recipe for chocolate, then 1 taels will be his own.

"Cut, I knew that the bitter matcha would not sell well." The matcha only gave him 20 taels, but the chocolate was 1 taels. Think about it and you will know the difference. "My brother is just self-righteous and useless. " Ye Xin took the money and thought of a way to go back to find out the guard's routine and the most important chocolate recipe.

But he didn't know that his family was waiting for him.

Ye Jue was sitting in front of the desk, tapping his fingers on the tabletop, "If I drive that little bastard out casually, my mother will definitely soften her heart. That kid is crying and crying for fear that my mother will soften her heart, so I believe what he said."

"Lin Xiu probably won't." Wei Hexuan said unsurely, but after thinking about Ye Xin being Lin Xiu's son, he was not so sure.As a mother, no matter how big a mistake your son makes, he will soften his heart, let alone if there is no evidence.

"Didn't he want a recipe? I'll write him a note." Ye Jue narrowed his eyes sharply, "Let him know better if he dies! Get out at once to save trouble."

Naturally, Wei Hexuan would not object, Ye Jue took a pen and ink and wrote a so-called "prescription" and randomly pinched a few pieces of paper next to it, as if to determine the ratio.

When Ye Xin found an excuse and came back, he saw his elder brother was still busy making chocolate in the kitchen. Ye An was beating eggs bored, and asked his elder brother, "Brother, is the recipe from last time not acceptable?"

"Of course it's good, but I want to optimize it even more. Is the egg ready? I'm going to use it soon." Ye Jue shouted.

"Okay, okay." Ye An jumped off the table.

But Ye Xin snatched the egg bowl in his hand first, "I'll send it to elder brother." He said and ran into the kitchen without looking back.

Ye An didn't know the plan for this matter, but he frowned unhappily, pouted and muttered a few words.

Wei Hexuan watched from the side, just smiled.

Seeing that it was Ye Xin who delivered the eggs, Ye Jue sneered in his heart, put the egg plate aside and said, "Go out first."

"Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Although he said so, his eyes rolled around.

It's a pity that everything here is almost finished.

"No, go out, don't get in the way." Ye Jue said unhappily.

Ye Xin looked unhappily at Ye Jue who didn't know what to do, and suddenly saw a few pieces of paper on the kitchen table, so he leaned over to read them.

But who would have thought that Ye Jue was the first to stuff things into his arms, "Didn't I tell you to go out?!"

Ye Xin was reprimanded, and immediately shouted unhappily, "I was kind enough to help you bring things in, but you still yell at me like that, you are a wolf!" He ran out after saying that, but he was thinking about those few pieces of paper.

Ye Jue unmoulded the finished chocolate, and sneered, "I really don't know who is so heartless."

After waiting for almost an hour, Ye Jue packed up all his things, went upstairs to the study room with a few pieces of paper in his hand, put the things on the table, and went downstairs again.

Ye Xin stayed in the living room and watched secretly, thinking about those few pieces of paper, he was not in the mood for dinner.

After finally turning off the lights, he waited for a long, long time before he climbed up the stairs cautiously, listened to the movement, then gently pushed open the door of the study room, and saw the few pieces of paper on the desk by the moonlight, which read Chocolate, as well as the eggs, milk, and some things he didn't know, felt that they were the prescriptions he had been thinking about, and immediately stuffed them into his arms, thinking that the 1 taels had already been obtained.

Then he walked downstairs twitching his hands and feet, and it will be fine in the room later, Ye Xin thought.

But who would have thought that as soon as he went downstairs, he found that the living room was blocked by the lights, and he stood on the stairs in fright, sweating all over his body and didn't know how to move forward or back.

"Why, can't you go down?" Ye Jue's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Ye Xin screamed in fright and rolled downstairs.

Ye Jue walked down step by step, without any pity on his face, instead he looked at him mockingly, "What an unfamiliar wolf cub, I will feed you and wear you, but you want to steal my prescription?"

"I, I didn't!" Ye Xin insisted.

But the two burly guards had already grabbed Ye Xin first, and found the few pieces of paper from his arms. Ye Jue took it and looked at him with a sneer, "Then what are these? Why don't you tell me what these are?" What!"

When Lin Xiu was notified to come here tonight, she still didn't believe that his second son would do such an inhumane thing, but now she felt despair after seeing this. It was she who asked Ye Jue to keep Ye Xin, but she preferred to keep Ye Xin. Next to Ye Xin, that Ye Xin didn't repay his kindness, but instead stole his dear brother's prescription!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu touched the handkerchief and cried, "I really didn't expect that I would give birth to a beast like you! You actually want to steal your brother's prescription, do you still have a conscience! Tell me!"

"It's not my fault! Who made him refuse to buy me land and set up a family business for me! I can only figure out a way by myself." Ye Xin didn't feel that he was at fault at all. Tiandi, why don’t you buy it for me? Don’t say it nicely, it’s what he should do as a big brother! Anyway, he’s not short of the money!”

Lin Xiu gasped in shock, "Why do you have such a rebellious idea?" Then she slapped her hands hard and said, "Apologize to your elder brother."

"I don't dare to be that." Ye Jue sneered, "I don't have a younger brother who thinks I have a lot of money, and if I don't buy it for him, I shouldn't be a brother."

Lin Xiunu felt a bit dizzy in her head, and was supported by Zhao Jin after staggering two steps, "How could I have a son like you!"

"I don't want you to worry about it! You're just a loose woman! If you don't guard my father well, if you insist on remarrying, you still have face!" Ye Xin screamed, "I've seen the chocolate recipe anyway. Come down, what can you do to me?" Said, looking at Ye Jue triumphantly.

"Don't you know that there is a saying called killing people and silence?" Zhou Zihan let out a sigh, not paying attention to Ye Xin at all. Dare to cut off my Master Zhou's fortune, you must be more courageous."

These words made Ye Xin stunned for a while, but then his eyes rolled and he thought of something, and he raised his head proudly, "What am I afraid of, fourth uncle said that the seller behind us is the magistrate, so how much money do you have?" Like? Can you beat an official?"

Zhou Zihan shook his head ridiculously, "Just a magistrate? Hey, I thought it was a big man."

"Zihan's father is an official of the first rank." Ye Jue said indifferently, "and he is a legitimate son, and the former son was made a fourth-rank idle official because of chocolate." To put it bluntly, he bought the tube with money.

Ye Xin looked at Zhou Zihan in disbelief, and then screamed, "Liar, he looks like an official! He doesn't even have a servant, so just look at me as a kid and fool me."

"That's right." Ye Jue wasn't interested in going around in circles with him, "You also told that Ma about the matcha?"

Seeing this, Ye Xin didn't hide it, but looked at Ye Jue proudly, "So what? Tsk tsk, that idea doesn't work at all, so I only bought 60 taels, and my fourth uncle gave me 20 taels." He also I think it's a bit small, but his fourth uncle said that when the chocolate recipe is in hand, the fourth uncle will draw a commission, and the rest will be given to himself. "But no matter how difficult it is, you have no idea."

"How could it be gone? That thing is not matcha, it's just tea powder, and it's so low-quality." Ye Jue sighed, "As for you saying that the prescription you recited is fake, you knew that prescription from the beginning How can you put Zhang Zhen out there? Do you really think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Ye Xin was stunned, "What? Impossible! I saw that you used eggs to make chocolate today!"

"How can something as unstable as an egg be made into chocolate? I didn't realize there was scrambled eggs for dinner?" Ye Jue shook his head, "I made up the other things in it. There are no such things in this world. Believe it or not, I won't care about you from now on. The academy paid you tuition fees for three years before, and I once said I would support you until sixteen, so I did it. For my mother's sake, I won't do it. I'll kill you, but I won't care about your life anymore, get out, you won't be able to enter this Zhao Family Village from now on."

Ye Xin was dragged out by the guards in a daze, but she woke up as soon as she reached the gate, jumped up and screamed, "Then what should I eat and wear? You are partial! If you are not partial, how can I turn back to you?" Son? It's all your fault! Mother, you still don't help me, and you are watching my elder brother try to force me to death!"

Lin Xiu lowered his head and didn't say a word. He didn't know how to explain to his elder son. He also knew about the matcha tea. It was leaked that it was the second kid who did it. It's ridiculous to steal his elder brother's prescription. Is it because he thinks his elder brother is eccentric?

"Xiao An, if your eldest brother favors your second brother, will you steal from your eldest brother?" Lin Xiu asked.

"How is it possible? Big brother gave me food and read to me." Ye An has been watching from the sidelines, feeling really unbelievable, his second brother is actually so bad, eating inside and outside, how important is chocolate to his big brother?He even stole and sold money. "Second brother has a reason for his crime! Even if I think big brother is biased, I won't be ungrateful for stealing something so important from big brother."

Lin Xiu stood up and shouted at Ye Xin, who was being dragged to the door, "See? Your third brother won't think that his elder brother is biased. It's wrong for you to eat, wear, and go to school! Back then, I begged your elder brother to give You stay, but you repay your elder brother like this! It really embarrasses me, a mother, and I regret to die, I really shouldn't have taken you in when you came to Zhaojia Village in a soft heart!"

"Why do you say I'm wrong? If he bought me a hundred acres of fertile land, I wouldn't do it! It's obvious that he is stingy, but I have to think about my future!" Ye Xin looked at Lin Xiu angrily. "You are not my mother! Not my mother!"
