Chapter 104: Official Tea
Everyone who participated in the tea picking received a dozen taels of silver, and those who participated in the selection received an additional ten taels.
Although Erya paid more, she received more, and this time the tea, because it was made, was named after the tip of the hair.
Originally, Erya was going to sell it to Shopkeeper Chen, but Shopkeeper Chen shook his head and said: "Girl, I'll help you make another plan for this tea, there will be news within three months, you wait!" ”
Later, Erya learned that the shopkeeper Chen, in the name of Erya, sent the hairy tip as a tribute to the government, and the government went to the palace again.
Although Erya may one day, he will be able to win the qualification of official tea, but the secrets of it are not something that Erya can understand, and if he doesn't talk about it, he may be suppressed, bribed, framed, and framed.
And today, the shopkeeper Chen saved all these for her, so that their tea garden will be much easier in the future, and there is no need to worry about someone coveting it, because the official tea garden that produces tribute tea and is given by the Son of Heaven must be protected by the government.
Erya discussed with Xiaohu and Xiaolong: "Xiaohu! Xiaolong, in this short period of two or three months, Uncle Chen has quietly helped us do such a big thing, what do you say, what is more appropriate to give him in return? ”
Xiaohu scratched his head, thought for a long time, and shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, I really can't think of what to give!" Uncle Chen is richer than our family, and his old man can't look down on this little thing in our family. ”
Er Ya turned his head to look at Xiaolong, Xiaolong took his fingernails and buckled his cheeks, frowned and said, "Why don't you give him a share of our family's tea garden, the same as the one he gave you back then?!" ”
Erya nodded, and then said: "But I don't think this is enough, I think it's best to make a type of tea with their family." As his family's special tea, this is a good idea. What do you say? ”
Xiaohu nodded in agreement: "Then if you think you can make better tea, you can do it, and I will accompany you over." ”
Xiaolong didn't want them to go too far, so he interrupted: "You can let them come and learn!" It's the same as before, but it's not impossible! ”
"That's right! Xiaolong is right, you can let them come over, and we will study and study together. I also have to take care of you and Wen Chao and Wen Yue. You can't be away from home for too long. "Of course, Er Ya will not go to the tea garden of Chen's shopkeeper's house, his tea garden is in other provinces, so far away. It is impossible for Erya to pass.
On this day, Er Ya and Xiaohu came to Bai Laoju and saw the shopkeeper Chen, who handed over the deed of one-tenth of the shares of the tea garden that he had filed with the government to the shopkeeper Chen. said: "Uncle Chen! You've done so much for us, and we don't know how to thank you. I can only learn from you, and count one-tenth of this tea garden as your old shares. Also, please call your favorite master. I would like to work with them on a type of tea that will be your family's specialty! Do you think it's possible? ”
Shopkeeper Chen's excited lips trembled, and it took a long time to suppress it. first returned the deed to Erya, and then said: "I don't need this." I am not satisfied with you saying that my family has opened twelve tea gardens, and none of the tea gardens is smaller than yours. To help you get the official tea qualification, it is also to repay your love, I have already said hello to the government about this matter, but it is a pity that there was a drought a few years ago, otherwise you would have been able to get the official tea qualification two years earlier.
It's just that now I'm greedy again, and since you're willing to help my family make special tea, then I'll be cheeky and take it. I immediately sent a message to my son and grandson to come over, and asked you to teach them patiently. ”
Erya smiled understandingly: "Uncle! Don't be in such a hurry! It's okay to come over next year, and now the sharp tips of the first tea herb have been lightened, I'm afraid there is no suitable one to teach! ”
Xiaohu answered next to him, "Daughter-in-law! Let them come! We can go into the mountains to pick wild tea, and the summer tea in the mountains is no worse than spring tea! ”
Ay! Reasonable! Er Ya said to the shopkeeper Chen: "Uncle, then call them over!" Summer tea is long overdue. ”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded happily, "Okay, good!" I'll send a message to the past! Sit down again, and we'll go out to dinner together at noon. ”
Erya hurriedly pulled Xiaohu to stand up and said goodbye: "Uncle! Originally, we should have invited you to dinner, but this is your territory, so we won't pay attention to that. You're busy, we're leaving, we have other things to do. ”
Everyone is an old acquaintance, and there is nothing too polite. When the shopkeeper heard them say this, he nodded and said, "That's okay!" Go ahead, and when they come, I'll take them with me to your house!" ”
"Good! Then we'll be waiting at home for you when you're old! ”
"Hey!"
The two of them came to Hongxiu Embroidery Village again, and when the shopkeeper saw them, the boss with his mouth open, "Wang Niangzi!" I thought you two would never want to come here again! I'm so sorry! I didn't expect my proprietor to do something like that! ”
Er Ya shook her head with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhang, there is no need to talk about the past, I came here today to see how your current business situation is!" To be honest, I'd love to work with you, but I don't want to work with your owner, do you think there's a good way to do that? ”
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled happily and asked beautifully, "What good things does Mrs. Wang have?" It is an honor for the little old man to be appreciated by Wang Niangzi. ”
Erya motioned to Xiaohu and asked Xiaohu to tell the shopkeeper Zhang, and Xiaohu opened his mouth to talk to the shopkeeper: "Uncle, my family has knitted a lot of shirts now, and I wear shirts close to my body." It's close-fitting, soft, and comfortable, and you can keep it for whoever wears it. However, your hosts"
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately said: "Wang Dongjia, Wang Niangzi, thanks to you for looking up to the little old me, then I will be fair, our owner may be a businessman, and some want to get more money."
However, Xiao Lao'er, I have been with our owner for more than 20 years, but I understand that our owner is at least not a black-hearted person, you can continue to cooperate with us, as for the matter of his second son, you don't have to worry, after the last accident, the owner sent him to his hometown in the countryside.
As for me personally, if you don't have enough things, I can help you buy them. But if you have more, you can only cooperate with the owner, so that you will also have a guarantee. ”
Er Ya applauded the shopkeeper Zhang in his heart, this is an authentic and qualified shopkeeper, who has maintained his owner's reputation, and is actually protecting his own reputation.
Xiaohu turned his head to look at Erya, and Erya nodded secretly. Xiaohu turned his head to the shopkeeper Zhang and said, "That's good! We believe in you. We believe what you say, and we will continue to work with you. ”
As he spoke, he took out the sample he brought from his backpack and spread it out to the shopkeeper: "Look at it!" These shirts. Don't look cheap just because it's made of cotton thread, my set of cotton thread can't be less than five taels of silver, a set of squeezed silk can't be less than fifteen taels of silver, and a set of silk can't be less than thirty taels of silver.
For children, three taels of cotton thread, eleven taels of squeezed silk, and twenty taels of silk.
This is a sock. It's all made of cotton thread, and both adults and children have it. One or two or five dollars of silver, two pairs of silver, whatever you want.
You have also seen these, they are not available on the market, uncle, you have to grasp it. Originally, it was not suitable to sell this in the summer, but autumn will come in a blink of an eye. That's where it should be, so. We had to hurry, just in time for the summer to come! ”
Erya looked at what Xiaohu said is the way, and knew that in the years when he let go, Xiaohu got a lot of exercise, and now he can do things independently, and he doesn't need Erya to rely on at all. Thinking about it, Erya's gleaming was suddenly covered with more loss and confusion.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at his shirt and socks and nodded repeatedly, "Hmm! Well! This is all good stuff, it will not be worse than the sweater that sells, you can wrap it on me, and when you come next time, you can sign a contract with our owner! ”
Erya and Xiaohu nodded, and said hello and left after finishing their errands.
On the way back, the carriage walked to the stone road paved by his house, and it felt different, Xiaohu sighed: "Daughter-in-law! Our road is really good, this is really comfortable to sit in the carriage, but it is much better than the official road swaying left and right! What a pity! Half of it hasn't been repaired! ”
"What's the hurry! It would be nice to repair it for a few more months, haven't you come over for so many years in previous years! Do you care about the time of these months?! ”
Xiaohu grinned and said with doubts: "I don't know why, after seeing the good one, I feel that I can't bear the bad one anymore!" ”
"Huh! Human! Er Ya replied meaninglessly.
As soon as he got off the carriage when he got home, Wen Yue Wenchao rushed up like a small cannonball, "Mother! Mother! Do you want to be smaller? ”
Erya bent down to pick up Wen Yue, kissed his son, and quickly replied: "I thought about it!" Thinking about it, my mother's stomach hurts! ”
Wen Yue grinned with satisfaction, smiled, turned over and hugged Erya's neck, and shouted loudly: "Mother, Xiao Yueyue misses you too, and I cry when I think about it!" ”
Wen Chao grabbed Erya's trouser leg and asked, "Mother!" Mother! Do you miss me? ”
Erya reached out and rubbed the top of her eldest son's head, squinted and smiled: "I thought about it!" Thought! I can't even eat at noon. ”
Wen Yue turned Erya's head again, forcing Erya's face to face him, and he still wanted to talk to his mother well. "Mother! You're not at home, Xiao Yue Yue doesn't want to eat! ”
Before Erya could speak, Wen Chao tugged on Erya's trouser leg again, tilted his head and complained: "Mother! Wen Yue cried and didn't eat today, and he was not obedient at all! ”
One was desperately pulling her head, the other was desperately pulling her pants, and the two were about to be tortured by these two children and go crazy. anxiously shouted at the nurse who was busy in the kitchen: "Auntie! Auntie! Come and help me! ”
Xiaohu put the carriage and tied the horse, and when he entered the house, he asked, "Daughter-in-law!" What was your name just now! I heard it all in the back. ”
Erya complained depressedly: "Don't say it! I was really defeated by these two bear kids, you are often away from home, and you are fine. When I went out once, I was tortured to death by these two guys! One broke my head to death, and the other pulled my pants with all his might. If it weren't for the fact that my pants were still sturdy and could really teach him to tear them, then I wouldn't have to lose the dead! ”
Xiaohu smiled, holding Wen Chao's swing with both hands while comforting Erya, "Daughter-in-law! Sons, this is with you! ”
Wen Yue anxiously tugged at Xiaohu's pants, "Dad! The little more and more you want to fly! ”
Xiaohu gave Wen Chao a swing, put it down, picked up Wen Yue and continued to swing, Wen Chao waited on the side.
Erya watched the father and son having fun, and her heart was full of happiness! (To be continued)
