Chapter 138 to the tea plantation
Qiao Lan took advantage of the time to go to the ice room to check again, and the steamed buns were all placed in different baskets, covered with oiled paper, and the vegetables and meat were also separated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Firewood is enough for more than half a month, next time I will bring something else, fill and arrange this yard, there are a lot of fabrics at home, make a curtain or something, it is still okay, and the tablecloth or something also needs to come two.
After the three of them had breakfast, Xuewu went out, took the medicinal materials that Qiao Lan brought from home, and took them to Renhetang to sell.
Qiao Lan changed her clothes and followed Chuanhu out in a carriage, went to the door of the store to pick up Gangzi, and went to the tea garden to have a look.
Chuanhu was afraid of thirst and was afraid that she would be bored, so he deliberately boiled hot water, and brought some steamed buns and a small can of bad fish, as well as a little candied fruit and snacks, which could be eaten on the way.
"Brother Huzi, what kind of tea is grown in that tea garden?" Qiao Lan was bored in the carriage and talked to him.
"It is said to be purple bamboo shoot tea, and then there are some other teas, all of which are not bad. Chuanhu drove towards the store.
"Then they had a better day than we did. Qiao Lan poked her head out curiously and looked privately, she hadn't gone out of the door so far, so it was easy to come out for a while to see the surrounding scenery.
"Well, Daqingshan is a relatively wealthy place, no matter how bitter it is, it has not reached the point of selling children and daughters, and the tea garden is even more so, insist on waiting for the tea to harvest the money and come out, so the villagers will not sell the tea garden unless they have to. ”
"Then they should be a little richer than us, why is it still difficult for the Gangzi family?"
"In the early years, his father died of illness, and he sold the tea garden in order to cure the disease, but in the end the people left, and the yamen came to recruit soldiers, but they couldn't come up with the money, so Gangzi could only follow the people. ”
"Oh, that's true, I heard my grandmother say that my father and my second uncle caught up with the conscription back then, and my grandmother had to take out the money earned from the embroidery picture to hand it over, and the two of them were one hundred taels, and the family was easy to save some money and all took it out, and then the days were just a little better, and my brother caught up with the conscription again, and had to pay for it, and a lot of money was gone this time, hey....... ”
"Well, I remember that grandma didn't have so much money to embroider pictures, and the princess's shop didn't come here, and there were fewer people who wanted to embroider pictures, which was not as famous as Jiangnan, and the price was low. ”
Chuanhu is bigger than Qiaolan, I know more, there are fewer people who want to embroider pictures in the early years, there is not so much money as Qiaolan at all, dozens of taels of silver are up to the sky, and it is good to have a single job a year. Who has nothing to do and puts that thing every day, and doesn't eat or drink things.
What's more, grandma they also experienced a catastrophe, then he still doesn't remember, his father said that a disaster can not be slowed down for ten years, not many people died in the disaster, but there are many people who die of disease after the disaster, sometimes half of the people in a village die, who farms and works, life is naturally sluggish.
Many tenant farmers and slaves of landlords' families came here, they just couldn't survive due to the disaster, the land was gone, and there were no people, and the old and young ones were left, so they had no choice but to sell their own food and eat.
Qiao Lan nodded with emotion, "Yes." ”
If the Li family is not because of themselves, I am afraid that they will have to repay the loan in two years, because the original body does not have such great ability, the small picture is okay, the big picture is not good at all, and the level is far from being comparable with herself, so the value is not high, which is related to her own age and experience.
Mrs. Li is okay, but it's a pity that she can only embroider Suzhou, limited by the environment, many things are not brilliant, Qiaolan is the head of the gambling family, and her own original stitching is famous, the modern environment is relatively open, and the active thinking picture is more three-dimensional and good-looking.
These are Qiaolan's advantages, so the price of embroidery will be high, otherwise it is impossible to have a good price, without this money the Li family house can't be built, and you have to pay back the money first.
"Don't ask these questions when you see Gangzi, he feels uncomfortable. Chuanhu admonished.
"Well, I know, don't worry. Qiao Lan nodded in understanding.
Sure enough, they saw Gangzi in front of the store they bought, and Gangzi greeted them with a smile, "Brother Huzi, sister." ”
"Brother Gangzi, hello, have you eaten, Brother Huzi brought you buns. "Qiaolan is not stupid at a critical time, and she is very particular about speaking, in fact, the bun was brought by Chuanhu's distressed daughter-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with Gangzi.
Gangzi really grinned when he heard this, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I really haven't eaten it, I'm busy looking for someone to decorate the store, and last time Brother Huzi said to get the store up, I found someone to fix it." ”
"Then you get in the car, eat in the car, there is hot water, Lanzi will give him some hot tea, and the buns are still hot." Chuanhu nodded and motioned for him to get into the car.
Gangzi got into the carriage and didn't go into the carriage, but took the initiative to take the reins and set up the carriage.
The buns were still hot, Qiao Lan brought a bowl of hot tea and gave him a few buns, "Let's eat, my daughter-in-law steamed it herself." ”
"Hey, it's still minced meat, thank you, big sister. Gangzi took it with a smile and took a bite.
Gangzi is older than Qiaolan, because Chuanhu didn't get married, so he was embarrassed to call him sister-in-law, and his generation was not right, so he simply called him eldest sister.
"It's delicious, it's a good stuffing. "Just a few bites of a bun is a bun, the speed is very fast, it can be seen that it is indeed a person who has been a soldier, eating is like burning his buttocks, if he doesn't eat quickly, he won't be able to eat anything when the enemy attacks.
"Gangzi, have you contacted that side? You can sell a batch of new tea first. Paging asked.
"I contacted, people are still willing to accept it, I think our tea quality is good, the craftsmanship is also very good, but the first time I get it is my own ship, which is to deduct the shipping fee, of course, if we have a ship to send to the door, the price can be higher." Another one is that although this tea is good, it has not become popular in Jiangnan, and most of them like Biluochun and Maojian, and other teas are also sold, but the price is not as good as these two. So I don't think I'm very satisfied with the price, but I can't delay, I think I still have to sell it, so that I can get some money back. Gangzi spoke, gnawed off another bun and took a sip of tea before continuing.
"Well, okay, let's sell it first, anyway, let's take the line first, Gangzi, I think you still have to go to Jiangnan to give our tea a way, you have to make the tea famous, you have to fry it, Mao Jianbai is not also fried by people." Chuanhu sat in the carriage and said with his hand on the small coffee table.
"That's what I mean, I think I have to make a trip, otherwise this road can't be opened, but I have to wait for the shop to be done, and let my nephew come over to watch the shop, you first get some goods for you to sell, and make a profit." ”
"Cheng, I'll go back and find the cow to get a batch of goods, you sell it first. ”
"Then I'll go over to pick up the goods?" asked Gangzi after eating a full bowl of tea before burping.
"Let your brother and father go with you and recognize people, we can't be here all day long, and he has to worry about it. ”
"Don't worry, my brother didn't say anything about worrying about honesty, but his mouth is not good, he is not smart, I want my nephew to come over and run the hall, and he is smart and neat. ”
"You look at the arrangement, I have no opinion. "Chuanhu doesn't care about this.
