Chapter 202 Tea Tree and Fruit Tree Winemaking
In order to take care of her three children, Yu Qingyi stayed in Chongshan Pass for another three days before preparing to return to Anyuan City.

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

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

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

Ding Qiu responded, stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation, clasped his fists and bowed, then left the main room.

After they walked out of the main hall, Ding Qiu first took the attendant to the gatehouse in the front yard and sat for a while. Then he gave him a small bag of silver and sent him away.

After all, he is someone close to Marquis Changping, so naturally he should be rewarded for coming to deliver the letter.

In the main room, Yu Qingyi hesitated for a moment holding the letter. She wanted to open it and take a look, but ultimately chose not to.

She felt that as a woman, she shouldn't pry into what was going on between men.

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

Traveling for big families is always cumbersome, and they need to prepare a lot of things.

Originally, all the people who came out this time were women, so they had to pay extra attention to many things. Now there are three more children, so naturally there are more preparations to be made.

Fortunately, they brought enough people with them this time, otherwise it would have been a real hassle.

Just when 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 land area of ​​the space has reached more than ten acres and looks extremely vast.

The dark land was covered with herbs and fruit trees, and the stone pond in the middle was led by Yang Zhengshan into 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 pond, which were specially built by Yang Zhengshan to be used as warehouses, and most of his wealth is stored in them.

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

Although Yang Zhengshan had taken away a lot of things in the past two years, the remaining things still filled 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 medicinal herbs.

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

Anyway, the processed medicinal materials can be stored for a long time, so Yang Zhengshan decided to keep them for now.

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

There is no need to say much about the efficacy of the medicinal wine brewed with spiritual spring water.

Just like the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills, drinking a bowl of it can make one toss and turn all night long. Although Yang Zhengshan can toss and turn all night long without drinking alcohol, he feels more energetic after drinking it.

Yang Zhengshan even suspected that Yu Qingyi couldn't get pregnant because he had been too harsh on her.

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

Tea is a very precious thing in Chongshan Town, especially good tea, which can be said to be more valuable than gold.

Yang Zhengshan has developed a habit of drinking tea, and in order to be able to drink good tea, he specially asked Luo Shang to ask someone to transport a batch of tea trees from 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 the beginning to the end.

At first he wanted to grow medicinal herbs to sell for money, but after he got that large sum of gold and silver, there was no need for him to go through the trouble of growing medicinal herbs to make money.

Therefore, the medicinal materials planted in the Lingquan space now tend to cultivate precious medicines. In addition to precious medicines, Yang Zhengshan also planted many fruit trees.

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

Spiritual fruit can also be considered a kind of precious medicine, but compared to precious medicine, the number of spiritual fruits is less.

In Qianchong Mountain, one or two precious medicinal herbs would occasionally appear, but there had never been any spiritual fruit.

If you want to find spiritual fruits, you can only look for them in the thousands of miles of mountains in the southwest of Darong.

Unlike most precious medicines, spiritual fruits are a renewable resource.

Once the precious medicine is dug out, it is gone and can only be looked for elsewhere. However, after the spiritual fruit is picked, it can bear fruit again after a few years or even decades.

The Darong royal family had a magical fruit tree. It was said that it was because of this magical fruit tree that Taizu became a martial arts master and had the foundation to start an army and 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, and few people know what kind of tree it is and where it is.

There are also rumors in the martial arts world that spiritual fruit trees are grown from ordinary fruit trees that have mutated, so Yang Zhengshan wanted to try whether he could cultivate spiritual fruit trees in the spiritual spring space.

Yang Zhengshan walked through the lush orchard, scratching his head as he looked at the ripe fruits.

It seems that he has planted too many fruit trees.

There are peach trees, plum trees, pear trees, apricot trees, jujube trees, etc., and they are all bearing fruit. You definitely can't eat all of them.

As for brewing wine, that doesn't require so much.

"What a pity, it will just go to waste!"

Yang Zhengshan was somewhat helpless and could only pick the fruits with a bamboo basket. He was not a fruit merchant, so he certainly could not sell the fruits.

Moreover, it was difficult for him to explain the origin of so many fruits.

If you take a small amount and eat it at home, you can say that you bought it outside, but if it is sold in large quantities, then there must be 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.

Afterwards, Yang Zhengshan started to brew fruit wine. Brewing fruit wine is much simpler and does not require too many human factors. It can just be allowed to ferment naturally.

Just like monkey wine, in the fruit ripening season, monkeys will throw the leftover fruits into caves. When these fruits rot, the sugar will naturally ferment and turn into wine pulp, forming natural fruit wine.

This is the kind of fruit wine Yang Zhengshan wanted.

After working hard for most of the day, Yang Zhengshan finally filled the seven or eight large vats in the cellar.

Finally, he went to the orchard again and picked a small basket of fruit before leaving the space.

As the spiritual spring space became larger and larger, he had given up the idea of ​​taking good care of it. Apart from the precious medicines that needed special attention, Yang Zhengshan was ready to let other plants grow naturally.

What he needs to do next is to transplant some plants that are not in the space from outside to enrich the diversity of plants in the Lingquan space. The other thing is to lead the water canals to the newly expanded land.

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

Walking out of the space, Yang Zhengshan looked outside the door. Seeing that there was no one there, 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. Please distribute them to each family!"

A basket of fruits weighs about 50 kilograms and they all look very fresh.

Although Wu Hai wondered where the Luo family got these fruits, he did not ask further questions.

As a servant, he must be careful with his words and actions, and there are many things he cannot ask.

For example, he never asked about the official business of the front yamen, and Yang Zhengshan never told him about it.

For example, all the dealings with the Luo family were handled personally by Yang Zhengshan. Even Yu Qingyi did not intervene, let alone Wu Hai.

The Luo family provided a good excuse. Nowadays, the Luo family had business dealings with many wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. It was not difficult to transport some fruits from Jiangnan.

Of course, the fruits transported here are definitely not fresh fruits, so there are still loopholes here.

But no one cares about the source of a basket of fruit, so this loophole seems insignificant.

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

There are more than a dozen handsome horses in the stable, the most eye-catching one among them is Hongyun.

In Yang Zhengshan's eyes, Hong Yun is the best among horses, and the most handsome among horses.

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

Even standing among these excellent war horses, one feels like a crane standing out among chickens.

Hehehe~~
Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming, Hongyun's big, kazilan eyes suddenly lit up, and she kept chirping and paddling the ground with her hooves.

"Master, I brought you some delicious food!"

Yang Zhengshan walked forward and stroked its mane.

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

He handed two peaches to Hongyun, who swallowed them one at a time.

After eating, he rubbed his head against Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "Come on, I'll take you out for a run!"

As he said that, 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 endless, so he was very reluctant to stay in the stable.

That means it is at Yang's house, otherwise it would have run away and run wild.

Yang Zhengshan jumped onto the horse's back and said, "Slow down, wait until we are out of the city before running!"

Soon, a man and a horse walked out of the Yang family mansion, and just as Yang Zhengshan walked out of the gate, ten followers immediately followed him on horseback.

Yang Zhengshan had twenty personal followers around him, who were the twenty soldiers he brought from Yinghe Fort.

They did nothing on weekdays and just lived in the yard next to the Yang family. Once Yang Zhengshan went out, they would take turns following him.

A group of eleven riders rode on the street. Seeing this, many people on the street gave way. However, the people did not feel disgusted or dissatisfied. Instead, many of them saluted Yang Zhengshan with their fists.

In response, Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded.

As an official, Yang Zhengshan was very close to the people. On weekdays, he often went out, either to the city gate fort or to the garrison outside the city. Sometimes he would go shopping with his family.

So the people in the city were very familiar with him.

Yang Zhengshan never oppressed the people or did anything messy, so the people still respected him very much.

Of course, if he went to Tunbu, this respect would turn into reverence.
