Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 284 The House Su He Left Behind

Finally, they went to their own room in the backyard to rest and drink tea. Su He decorated this room in the most casual and comfortable way, with the main focus on regaining the original feeling, and more modern elements. There was a thick mattress on the kang, and all the chairs had thick cushions. In summer, there were straw chair cushions and kang mats.

There were several square pillows on the kang, and there were also square pillows on the back of the chair. Wang Xiaohu picked one up and looked at it. It was really comfortable to lean on. He could make a few at home. He had never seen one before.

There was a row of wide stools built along one side of the wall, all connected together to form a corner. Su He laid a thick cushion on top, and there were also thick cushions nailed to the wall behind. There were various pillows randomly placed on the stools. When people were tired, they could sit or lie down, which was very comfortable.

There was a tea table of suitable height in front of them. They all sat down to rest. It was very comfortable to sit down and made people relax immediately. Su He sat down with them and started to make tea for them.

After Wang Xiaohu sat down, he saw a large wooden desk in the middle of the room, with pens, inkstones, and a delicate abacus on the side. On the desk was a pot of elegant orchids, and in the corner was a small black jar with some young bamboos and a few small fish swimming around.

On the wall of the room, there are paintings by Master Su He, and a calligraphy painting with four big characters "Make a fortune every day". Su He used colored glaze on all the windows here, making the room very spacious and bright, and the sunlight shines directly in.

Su He made chrysanthemum tea for everyone. As she poured the tea, she talked about the effects of chrysanthemum tea: "Chrysanthemum can dispel wind-heat, calm liver yang, clear the liver and improve eyesight, and clear away heat and detoxify. But it is cold in nature and should not be drunk often."

After she finished making a circle of tea, she said, "The chrysanthemum tea can be dried and used as pillow core, which can also be useful."

She smiled and said, "After we finish drinking all the tea here, the remaining tea leaves will be recycled. Most of the tea leaves that poultry don't eat will be given to the poor to use as pillows. If the soldiers need it, we can make it and give it to them."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and joked, "There is nothing left here. This is the most leftover tea leaves. If it is good for the body, of course we want it. You don't need to give it to us. You can't afford it. Just dry the waste tea leaves and give them to us."

Su He's father also smiled and said, "Our Su He's medical studies have found a new use. She will be the one to teach people how to prepare medicinal teas in the future."

Feng Dayuan and his friends smiled and said, "We will be blessed in the future. We can try all kinds of tea."

"I heard there is also fruit tea, but we have never tasted it."

"I have only drunk large-leaf tea and have never heard of other teas."

"Me too……"

Su He smiled and said, "Our family will open a teahouse in the future. Uncles and aunts can drink whenever they want and drink whatever tea they want. We will all be free to drink tea in the future."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Well, we will have free tea drinking from now on."

"We won't occupy our own room. Your place is fine. We'll come here to drink tea from now on."

"Your stool is really nice to sit on. I'll ask a mason to build one for my house. It's more comfortable to sit on than a chair, and the cushion is well made."

When Su He made cushions, he asked people to make them with cores. The cores were sewn into a small square, so that cotton and duck down could fill them up, and they would not collapse, but would be very soft. Su He also imitated modern methods to make cushions.
