Chapter 56: Giving Tea
When the tea is ready, you have to think about selling it, and if you want to sell it at a high price in the north, it is a big mistake.
The real northerners don't recognize the green tea before the rain. They have a heavy taste, and they are not used to the faint taste of tea, according to their words, it is light and does not pull the groove. In particular, grassland herdsmen, who often eat meat, need heavy tea to relieve oiliness and help eliminate food.
Erya thought about taking the tea to the tea house in the provincial capital to sell it.
As far as I know, the current tea making zuò includes boiled tea, fermented ripe tea, and the new steamed green tea, but fried green tea has not yet appeared. The fried green tea made by myself is considered a new product, and I am not afraid of people pushing it out.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt have already knitted six or seven blouses, and they happened to take them to the provincial capital together.
When Erya and Xiaohu were going to the provincial capital, the brothers followed with great interest.
They first went to the embroidery village where fur coats were sold last time, and the little er in the store greeted them warmly, obviously forgetting the second girl who came once last winter.
But that Xiaomei still remembered, looked at Erya in surprise, and couldn't stop saying, "Little lady, why did you come?" Our shopkeeper has been talking about you! ”
Erya smiled happily and quipped: "It's because I told him to make too much money!" ”
Xiaomei smiled and asked cautiously, "The little lady wants to see our shopkeeper?" ”
Erya smiled and nodded, "Okay!" I have sent wealth to your shopkeepers, and you shopkeepers will have another chance to get rich. ”
"That's a good idea! Little lady, please come in! The shopkeeper greeted him with laughter from the courtyard.
"Uncle shopkeeper, my brothers are here, so it's convenient for them to follow in?" Erya didn't want the brothers to stand outside stupidly, like a gatekeeper.
The shopkeeper had already come out, and they were all busy bringing in the houses in the courtyard.
Er Ya took out a few sweaters and showed them to the shopkeeper. said in his mouth: "The weather on our side, if you take off your cotton jacket, you won't have the right clothes to wear." Either the left layer and the right layer of single clothes are added, or a small padded jacket will be sewn. Look at my clothes, when I wear them in winter, I won't be warm because the hollow jacket is not warm. In the spring, when the weather gets warmer, change into this sweater, just one piece, and wear a coat outside, which looks good and saves trouble. ”
The shopkeeper took the garment, and he couldn't see it.
Er Ya hurriedly picked up a dark blue sweater specially knitted for the shopkeeper, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, this is specially knitted for you, let my husband help you put it on, so that you can feel the feeling of this sweater for you." Good no good? ”
The shopkeeper squinted, took the sweater handed to him by Erya, greeted Xiaohu, who had already stood up, and took him into the back room.
The shopkeeper who was dressed in a sweater walked out, wearing a light gray robe on the outside, revealing a high dark blue collar inside, which was quite stylish.
The shopkeeper stretched his arms and nodded, "It's really warmer to wear!" ”
He shook his neck as he spoke, and said, "It's this collar, I don't feel comfortable, and I always feel a little in the way." ”
This is a high collar woven by Erya, she didn't dare to knit a round neck and a chicken-hearted collar, because the ancient prison clothes seemed to be short shirts with round mouths. I was afraid of taboos, so I knitted a high collar.
Er Ya hurriedly explained: "Maybe you haven't gotten used to it yet, just come up in half a day." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, sat down, and asked Erya: "That little lady, what price are these going to be sold for?" ”
Erya thought for a while, and discussed with the shopkeeper: "I don't want to sell these items for money, and the shopkeeper will give one to the right person." In the fall, we will officially sell it again! Based on the response of the wearer, we also know what price is appropriate. What do you say? ”
The shopkeeper spoke out in the middle of the voice: "It stands to reason that this is your thing, and you are in charge, and there is no place for me to speak." Since you ask for my opinion, I think it's better to sell it than to give it away. Only the things that are bought at great expense, those rich and noble, who have money, feel that they are worth wearing themselves. Put your things here first, and I'll see how much money I sell. ”
When Erya heard this, she was bubbling with joy from the bottom of her heart. But you can't show it! Well! Bear with it.
"Oops! Or the shopkeeper is thoughtful, that's okay, these are all for you. Only this blue one is a men's one, and the others are women's. This garment can be worn directly, I have washed it and brought it. Also, you must tell the customer that this must not be scalded with boiling water, and cannot be scalded with a mallet. ”
The shopkeeper nodded while listening, "It sounds similar to that silk, I'll tell you about this then!" ”
Er Ya laughed and said, "Look! I've been so long-winded, it's not as simple as my uncle's words! ”
As he spoke, he took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to the shopkeeper, and then said: "This is a new tea method that I came up with at home, and drinking it regularly can prevent many diseases!" ”
The shopkeeper subconsciously caught the porcelain bottle containing the tea leaves, but his eyes were staring at the two bags that Erya had opened, and he found that he didn't have the bag he wanted, so he was a little anxious: "Little lady!" What kind of bag did you have last time, why didn't you bring a few? ”
The second girl returned in embarrassment: "Uncle shopkeeper! On the one hand, I can't keep busy, and on the other hand, I haven't been able to find the right paint to dye the pigskin. So, there was no rush to make that bag. If you really sell here, then I can try to make it with special cotton linen, which is also quite good! ”
The shopkeeper's eyes widened: "I often have people come to ask if there is that bag." It's been more than three months, and more and more people are asking. ”
"This!" Erya said that it was a bit difficult, one is that there is no good special paint, and it is a waste of pigskin to do it. Second, it is the spring and summer breeding season, and hunting is not allowed. If you buy it, who will keep the pigskin? Not to mention cowhide. ”
Daman and Xiaohu are in a hurry!
"Brother-in-law! Let's do it when we go back! Isn't there still a semi-wild boar skin at home? ”
"Daughter-in-law! Or do we go back and make a few to send over? ”
"Sister-in-law! I'll go to the mountains to hunt wild boars and come back and skin them for you! ”
The second girl raised her hand to stop their gossip. Ask the shopkeeper: "Uncle shopkeeper!" It's just those guys, right?! ”
The shopkeeper glared, "How is it possible!" Who's here to ask, can I still ask clearly!? At least a dozen or so families really want it, the woman who bought your coat and bag, remember? Erya nodded!
The shopkeeper continued: "It's the young grandmother of the Zhang family." I heard that when I went to visit people's homes for the New Year, I wore that fur coat and carried the bag. The big girl and young grandmother who have a lot of hot eyes! This year, after the autumn, send a few more fur coats like that, which will definitely sell well. That bag, you can make a few and send it over when you go back, otherwise someone is really in a hurry. ”
Erya nodded, "Okay!" I'll rest assured of this, but I have more important things to do today. ”
As he spoke, he opened a porcelain bottle, and suddenly a fresh fragrance of tea floated out. The shopkeeper sniffed and asked Erya curiously: "Why is your tea so fragrant?" ”
Erya smiled a little smugly, "Uncle shopkeeper, it will feel better to drink!" Bring your teacup and get hot water? ”
"Yes!" The shopkeeper said and shouted at the outside: "Xiaomei! Bring the hot water from the stove! ”
"Good Ratcha!"
Xiaomei brought in the ceramic kettle with hot water, Er Ya took the teacup handed over by the shopkeeper, scalded it with hot water, and poured out a pinch of tea leaves from the porcelain bottle and put it in the teacup.
On the other side, pour hot water into a larger teacup to cool down, and then flush it into the cup with the tea leaves.
Erya explained to the shopkeeper while doing it: "Uncle shopkeeper, this is green tea can also be called clear tea." If you are used to washing tea, you must rinse it with water at fifty or sixty degrees. The temperature of the brewing water must be between *10 degrees, and it should not be covered too tightly. ”
After brewing the tea and waiting for a while, Erya opened the lid of the teacup, and a white mist rose from the tea, and the fragrance was even more attractive.
The shopkeeper didn't care whether the tea was hot or not, so he couldn't wait to take a small sip and lick his lips with his tongue. After tasting it for a while, I was full of praise: "Good! Good! What a good tea! I don't know how this tea is made in your house, but it is more fragrant than all the teas now, the taste is fresh, the drink is bitter, and the aftertaste is sweet. It's really a tea making method that has never been done before! ”
"Uncle Shopkeeper! Since you also think it is good, can the little girl please give you one thing? ”
The shopkeeper took a sip of tea, tasted it pleasantly, and spoke for a long time: "What do you say I need to do?" ”
Er Ya said a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's not difficult, I just hope you can take the time to order this new green tea in a more high-grade teahouse in the city, taking advantage of the crowds."
Whether they have it or not, you just want this green tea, and you don't eat other teas. If there is a teahouse that accepts my tea, it will naturally be able to take it out, and if there is a tea that does not accept me and can't take it out, I must ask you why.
You told the truth, I gave you the tea, because it was good, so I invited a friend to taste it together, and it was finished in two days.
Because I told you which teahouses I want to send to, I thought of going to their teahouses to have a good time. In this way, can the shopkeeper be embarrassed? ”
The shopkeeper touched his chin with a complicated expression. Silent for a long time.
Erya hurriedly said again: "Oh! That's right! Uncle shopkeeper, and I'll pay for the tea! ”
Alas! It's all rotten childcare in later generations, and Erya is a little disdainful of herself. Then he comforted himself, 'My own things are really good!' It's just to increase popularity, and it's not a lie! ’
The shopkeeper put down his hand, slapped the table, laughed, and gave a straight thumbs up at Erya: "Little lady!" Tall! What a trick! So. I will be very glad to have received your tea. I didn't accept your tea, but I'm afraid that my intestines will be repentant, right? ”
Erya said very confidently: "Uncle, as long as you drink my tea, you won't stay, unless people don't even give you the opportunity to make tea." However, such a conservative teahouse is estimated to not be much better. ”
The shopkeeper nodded, "That's right!" The shopkeepers I often go to are all okay, you can go to their house and talk. Yi Ming Xuan, Fangjia Teahouse, Bai Laoju, and Mingji Teahouse are all around here, you have eaten by yourself, and you will go over when there are the most tea customers! Smell the tea, someone will be interested, no need for you to say more! ”
Erya was very excited, she really wanted to come to something, and she was thinking about asking again, what teahouses are there around here! It seems that things should be smooth today.
The big family said goodbye to the shopkeeper of the embroidery village, and followed the second girl to the Chunlintang pharmacy. Erya wanted to send the shopkeeper's two bottles of green tea, as well as the shopkeeper in the county seat, because he didn't know where the people were, so he had to ask the shopkeeper of Chunlintang to bring them.
