Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Collection of Family Affairs
Before they arrived, they arrived at Wangjiazhuang.
The shopkeeper Chen was not in a hurry to ask about the tea, but eagerly pulled the hand of the uncle who got up to entertain them, and asked with a golden light in his eyes: "Big brother, is the tea made by the big brother?" ”
The uncle wanted to shake his hand, but unfortunately he couldn't shake it when he was caught. I had to shake my head desperately, with a frightened tone: "This big shopkeeper, that tea is made by my nephew and daughter-in-law, not me!" ”
"Which one? Can I ask the big brother for a recommendation? ”
The uncle looked at the shopkeeper Chen and Xiaohu's daughter-in-law curiously, and said secretly in his heart: "What is the situation?" Didn't they come back together? Why do you have to refer yourself? ”
Erya hurriedly greeted the shopkeeper Chen: "Uncle! You will let my uncle arrange for you to rest first, and then talk about it tomorrow, okay? ”
"Alas! Good! Shopkeeper Chen finally felt that he was too eager and scared people.
The uncle arranged for the shopkeeper Chen to sleep, so he was busy asking Erya: "Little Tiger daughter-in-law!" The big shopkeeper doesn't know that you fried this tea? What if he comes to me tomorrow and asks? ”
"Uncle, just sue him, and when the time comes, I will explain it to him."
"Hey!"
The next day, Shopkeeper Chen got up early to wait for the person who made tea, and when the uncle introduced Erya, Shopkeeper Chen shook his head with a smile.
"Little lady, you really know how to hide it. I've asked so much along the way, but you haven't revealed a word. ”
Erya blushed embarrassedly, and gave a salute to Shopkeeper Chen before speaking: "Let the uncle be surprised, because I am not very old, and I rashly said that the tea was made by me, I am afraid that you will not believe it, so I didn't say much." ”
Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly stood up and helped him up, and said, "Don't be polite, little lady!" I'm just thinking about finding a good master for my family's tea garden, since I am a little lady, it may not be convenient to make tea for my family. What a pity! ”
As soon as Erya's eyes rolled, she had a good idea. He asked the shopkeeper Chen unhurriedly: "Uncle Chen, if I teach your master to make good tea, what regulations do you have?" ”
The shopkeeper Chen, who had just sat down, bounced up as if he had been burned on his buttocks, and his excited voice trembled: "Is this true? ”
The uncle and everyone in the room looked at Erya in confusion, and Erya didn't have time to explain to them, but just smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Chen's reaction.
"Little lady, if this is the case, as long as I still have a day in Bai Laoju, I will have your dry shares. I will write the contract and make an official file in the government. ”
Er Ya nodded slightly, the other people didn't know how much assets Bai Laoju had, so they didn't know if Er Ya did this, it was not cost-effective!
Erya knew that there was no need to consider the rest, as long as his family had a tea garden, this percentage of shares would not be less.
"Shopkeeper Chen really showed a lot of sincerity, so I won't say anything hypocritical to my uncle. Uncle went back to find two masters he trusted, and I was going to make tea in the next two days. ”
Shopkeeper Chen's face was full of glory, and he was finally able to break through the confinement of his own generation that did not produce good tea. The official tea qualifications that I didn't dare to think of before, now I also have a faint hope in my heart.
"Good, good! I'll go back now, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, I'll come with the official contract of the government. ”
Shopkeeper Chen went back with tea leaves and full of expectations for the future.
Erya had to hold a second family meeting.
Erya didn't wait for everyone to ask, so she took the initiative to explain to everyone the reason why she took the initiative to give up the roasted tea technology:
"The reason why I gave up the roasted tea technique today is also something that I have considered when I first made tea.
It's okay if this tea is not recognized. Once someone identifies the zuò tea I make as the best quality, then the technology I have mastered will be a scourge in our family's current helpless situation.
This is one, this two, the wisdom of our Han people is very comparable, as long as someone sees the tea I make zuò, the next moment, someone will imitate it. You can't believe it. So, it's useless for me to hide this technology even if I want to.
And the most important point is that we don't have a tea garden at home, so we can't just pick wild tea.
We can pick it, and so can others! The reason why we can pick as much as we want this year is because we don't have famous teas here, so tea is not taken seriously.
Once the famous tea comes out, you will be very sad to see that all the mountains around this place where tea can be grown will be bought by the rich and powerful. Even our hunting in the mountains may be restricted.
Don't look at me like that, I'm really not alarmist. ”
Their exaggerated horror made Erya cry and laugh.
They didn't know, but Erya knew that as soon as fried green tea was born, the famous teas in green tea sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they came out one after another.
What Longjing, Mao Feng, Biluochun, melon slices, Mao Jian, with these superlative, this technology in Erya's hands, don't be hit too badly, it's good wow!
If you can work with Shopkeeper Chen to find out all those famous teas in advance, at least you can let Bai Laoju not fall for a hundred years, and you can drink some soup with you.
In other words, the essence is in the soup, which is a typical example of suffering losses in the open and begging for bargains in secret.
Erya stopped everyone's discussion and went on to talk about other things.
"Uncle, second uncle, what about me! There are other things to say. Now there are more and more things to do in our family, and there are too many things for me to do alone, and I can't do it enough.
So, today I want to discuss with all the members of the family who can do things. Let's see how to distribute everything appropriately! ”
The uncle nodded, indicating that he agreed with Erya's suggestion. The second uncle spoke directly: "Niece and daughter-in-law, you can assign it directly, no need to discuss." ”
Erya shook her head with a smile, and said to the big guy: "I'll still talk about what our family wants to do, and see what everyone has to say!"
First, a little anxious, that is, when I went to the provincial capital yesterday, the shopkeeper of the embroidery village asked us to make a few bags and send them over.
Second, the breeding at home should be done as much as possible, one is a yellow wolf, and there is a rabbit that I plan to find a seller to raise, black and white does not matter, it must be able to live and reproduce quickly. From next year, and not the year after that at the latest, our fur clothes factory must be established.
Third, the sweater system should also be formalized as much as possible, and it should not be too casual like now. At present, there are two aunts and aunts in the technology, and once they are formalized in the future, they will have to increase management, production, finance and other affairs, and the aunts and aunts will not be able to take care of them at all.
Fourth, I want to make no progress at all.
Fifth, I want thick and hard cotton, linen, and cotton and linen blends.
Sixth, there is still a lot of wool that has not been spun into thread.
Seventh, it is necessary to go into the mountains to pick tea and make tea. This one is also in a hurry!
Eighth, Mr. Teaching has not yet been invited.
There are also things I didn't expect, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, and brother Man, you brothers, all brought it up.
We have to ask our own family to do it, we have to do it ourselves, and if we can ask someone to do it or give it to someone else, we try to ask someone to do it or give it to someone else to do it. ”
The uncle hurriedly answered: "I really have it here, everyone else is going to sow seeds, and our family's field has not been sorted out." This matter is also urgent! ”
The eldest aunt followed and said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law asked me to buy five or six hundred hemp ducks, and I have only bought more than 100 ducks so far, which is still a lot!" ”
The second uncle said: "Our family has to buy two more cows, and my niece and daughter-in-law said to buy donkeys, but they have never bought them." ”
Xiaohu said: "My house is also counted as one. ”
Laizi said: "Brother Daman said that his daughter-in-law is counted as one. ”
laughed loudly, and glanced at Daman.
The second aunt said: "There are too many pheasants, and one shed is not enough, so we have to build another one quickly." ”
Seeing that things were more and more talking, Erya was busy asking Hongguo to take out a paper and pen and write them down one by one.
In the end, after sorting out the urgent things that must be done immediately, the things that can be slowed, and the things that can be done by asking someone to do, everyone felt relaxed after discussing the countermeasures.
After that, Erya asked the uncle about the spring planting.
"Uncle, you're already busy planting in the spring?"
"I've been busy preparing the fields for a long time, and the Huang family's fields are all muddy fields, which are very easy to make. Your second uncle and I have already sorted out more than half of it. ”
Because the Huang family had planned to sell the land for a long time, they were afraid that some tenants would refuse to quit because there was still grain in the field and cause disputes, so they took the land back early. They didn't cultivate either, they kept water all the time. Therefore, it is very trouble-free to turn over the mud and level it now, and there is another benefit, that is, it is very fat.
Hearing what they meant, Erya seemed to be just busy tidying up the fields, but no one thought about tidying up the seedling fields and sowing seedlings, so she felt wrong.
"Uncle! Why don't you first get the seedlings and raise the seedlings? ”
The uncle asked strangely: "What kind of seedlings are raised?" ”
Erya was puzzled, so she said cautiously: "That is, the seed will sprout first and then sprinkle it in the sorted seedling field, wait for the seedlings to grow, and then transplant it into the paddy field." Isn't that how you farm? ”
The uncle shook his head slowly, thinking about what Erya said.
"Little Tiger daughter-in-law! That's how your mother grows it? How much can you harvest in an acre? How much rice do you need for an acre of land? Do you know that? ”
Erya, this can be said to be bad, there are thousands of catties per mu, and there are also six or seven hundred catties. But they are calculated in ten taels for a catty. But here is sixteen taels for a catty, so it's a lot of brains for her to calculate this!
"My mother's family has the same planting method as yours, and I listened to it when others were chatting, as if they also talked about yield. You make me think about it, and see if I can think of it, how much they say! ”
Erya calculated 1,000 times 10 and then divided by 16, the yield per mu should be about 600 catties, but she still talked less to the uncle, "Uncle, I remember they seem to have said, there is about 400 catties, ranging from 300 to 500 catties." It seems to be said that middle or late rice will be slightly higher. ”
Uncle's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Are you mistaken?" ”
Erya is a little afraid of such an uncle, if he can't reach it, and he won't disappoint the uncle, but he has to try!
"I'm not sure about this, but I think if the fertility can keep up, it should be possible."
"Good! Listen to you, do you know how to do it? ”
"I know! At that time, someone else asked, and the person said it in detail, and you know that I just like to hear people gossip, and I have a good memory, but I remember ten out of ten.
And the man said, "Let him set aside a piece of his field for a field of seedlings." The water is to be drained and then formed into a rectangle six or seven feet wide, with a ditch between the two.
When the surface is drained, it should be sprinkled with plant ash to fertilize.
At this time, it is necessary to select a good rice seed and bask in the sun. Soak it in warm water overnight, and then wrap it in a burlap bag to promote germination, and it will take a day to do well, so that the germination rate is high.
Then sprinkle it in the seedling field, and if it is cold, cover it with a layer of straw at night, and if the temperature is okay, leave it alone.
When it grows half a foot tall, water the field again, and the water reaches half of the seedlings. In a few days, when the seedlings are taller than two fists, the seedlings can be pulled out and transplanted. ”
After all, the uncle has been farming for many years, and he basically understands what Er Ya said, but there is one who doesn't understand: "Little Tiger daughter-in-law!" What are you talking about burlap bags? ”
Er Ya was stunned, what! Haven't heard of a burlap bag?
"It's a bag of grain made of twine! Haven't used it in our house? ”
Uncle shook his head, "No! We all use baskets to load rice. ”
"That! It should be possible to sprout with a basket! Cover it with straw, it's theoretically okay! Er Ya said uncertainly.
Off topic: Sorry! Tomorrow I need to stop for a day. Sorry everyone!
