Chapter 773: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 773 - They're Not Worthy of Drinking Good Tea
The mule cart entered the courtyard, and Shu Yu took out a few packages from inside.
As soon as the old lady approached, she frowned at the paper packages in Shu Yu's hands. "What did you buy these for?"
"Didn't we need to bring local specialties back to our hometown? This tea is famous in Linzhang Prefecture, how could we leave it out?" Shu Yu walked into the main hall with the paper packages and placed them on the table, stacking them together with the specialties that the old lady and the others had bought during the day.
However, the old lady looked disapproving. "This tea is so expensive. Isn't it a waste to give it to your uncles? They are just commoners, what do they know about tea? It's good enough if they can drink some cheap tea leaves."
There were many fruit trees in Linzhang Prefecture, so the specialties the old lady and the others bought were usually dried fruits, as well as some wild mushrooms and herbs that were not available in Jiang Yuan County.
These items could be stored for a longer time, and they were relatively common and not expensive.
But Shu Yu was right. The most famous product in Linzhang Prefecture was the tea in her hands. However, besides being delicious, this tea was also very expensive and only wealthy households could afford it.
Even if she gave it to her two sons, they wouldn't be able to appreciate it, which would be a waste of money.
That's why the old lady hadn't considered buying this item. Who would have thought that she didn't buy it, but Ah Yu did.
Shu Yu turned around, holding the old lady's arm and smiling. "Grandmother, why do you speak ill of your own sons like that?"
She knew the old lady's temperament and didn't try to persuade her. Instead, she said, "I bought the tea not only for Uncle and Third Uncle. The price of this tea in Linzhang Prefecture is drastically different from that in Dong'an Prefecture. Since we can buy it cheaply here, it's a good opportunity to give it as gifts. I plan to give some to Lord Xiang, Doctor Xu, and Miss Ding. They have all helped us in Jiang Yuan County, and they know how to appreciate good tea, don't they?"
As soon as the old lady heard that it would be given to Xiang Daren and the others, she nodded. "That's true."
"So, if we're giving it to outsiders, how can we not give it to our own family? If Third Uncle finds out, he will definitely cause a fuss. Even if eldest Uncle and Third Uncle don't understand tea, it can still be used to entertain guests. It's something we can take pride in," Shu Yu explained.
After thinking for a moment, the old lady agreed, "Alright, but don't give too much."
"I understand, I understand." Shu Yu smiled and supported the old lady as they went to the kitchen. Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi were there, and there were indeed many exquisite dishes on the table.
Speaking of which, Shu Yu had come to Heichang County several times and had never tasted the local specialties.
Ruan Shi urged them to sit down. "Come, come, let's eat. It's so late, your stomachs must be empty."
The original table in the Lu family was relatively small, but fortunately, Ruan Shi and Da Ya had several tables from their stall, so they could be combined to form a larger one. The whole family could sit together.
Shu Yu sat opposite Meng Yunzheng and gave him a slight smile, which indicated that her trip had gone very smoothly.
Rarely in a good mood, he had even bought two jugs of wine.
