Chapter 173: Sending Tea to the Provincial Capital

It's the sleepy someone who sends a pillow, how can you not want to? Without thinking about it, he responded: "Yes!" That is, my father is too busy these days, so I am only at home to help out, and I am usually very idle. But what are you going to let me do? Tell me about it!"

Xiaohu didn't sell it, and directly said his daughter-in-law's plan: "In this way, I said that you are in a bad mood at home because you can't go to the army, so let your sister-in-law help think about what can be done for you." Your sister-in-law said that I want to build all the houses in my town. One is for those children in the town to grow up and have a home after they get married. Second, I thought that if someone came to settle down, it would not be like Uncle Liao and the others who came to build a house.

It's just that we are all busy, and we definitely can't take care of this matter, so I want to explain this matter to you and Dahong. If you come to experience, you can set up a construction team by yourself in the future, that is, professionals who specialize in helping others build houses. Do you want to? ”

Xiangzi said unconfidently: "This is not something I am willing to do!" We all help out when we build our own houses, and we don't know anything else, can we? After all, building a house is a big deal! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, your sister-in-law said that she will take you in advance to familiarize yourself with the key points and processes in this regard. When you can let go and do things alone, let yourself lead the team to supervise. ”

When I heard Xiaohu say this, I was relieved. Then he said, "That's fine! I'm willing to do this, do you have any plans to start when? ”

Xiaohu replied: "What your sister-in-law means, hurry up and not late." Finish this year's spring tea. Let's go! ”

"Oops! This is rice planting, spring planting, and making tea, everything is rushed together, can you be busy!? ”

Little Tiger scratches the back of his head. He smiled and replied, "I'm okay!" It's always been your sister-in-law who has been busy. The uncle and the second uncle are helping to take care of the two fields here, and Liu Jialing is the first year, and the rice planting is more important, so I need to take care of it for a few days, and my brother-in-law is usually supervising it there.

This tea is a tribute tea that the government wants, and it can only be made by your sister-in-law. I can't get my hands on it yet. So I'm actually quite lax. It's just that your sister-in-law is too busy, even if there is nothing for me to do, I want to accompany her. Otherwise, I will panic with guilt! ”

Although Xiangzi couldn't empathize, he could more or less understand Xiaohu's mood, so he smiled and nodded.

Before he could say what he wanted to say, his mother's voice came from the front yard: "Xiaohu." Your eldest lady called you over. Daman, they're back! ”

Xiaohu looked at Xiangzi and asked, "Did you go over?" If you're done, let's go over together! Let's think about what you want to do in addition to what your sister-in-law said. Let's see if we can help, and if we can, we'll do our best to help. As long as you want to do many things, most of them can be done, but I am afraid that I dare not think about it. ”

I wanted to look at the basin of yellow wolf feed in my hand, and there was not much left, so I poured it all into the yellow wolf's den at one time. Throw the empty basin aside. Follow Xiaohu out of the backyard and wash his hands in the sink in the front yard. came to the uncle's house next door with the little tiger who was waiting for him.

Daman and Dahong had just come back, and they were standing in the courtyard waiting for Xiaohu to come over, and when they saw Xiaohu entering the door, they asked anxiously: "Xiaohu, are you looking for us to have something?" ”

"Yes! There's something I want to discuss with you, so let's go inside and talk about it! Xiaohu said, and took the lead to walk into the hall.

The brothers sat together and talked about building a house, and the final result of the discussion was that Dahong and Xiangzi first followed Xiaohu's daughter-in-law to learn how to lead a construction team, purchase building materials and some professional skills in this area, and when all the houses in the town were built, they could also lead the team independently. Daman thought about it again, he didn't want to do the things of managing people, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control people, and at the same time, he was troublesome.

They discussed good things, the eldest aunt and Dahong's daughter-in-law had already cooked the meal, and Xiaohu went back after eating at the uncle's house by the way.

Early the next morning, Xiaohu went to Liujialing to help take care of the seedling planting, and the eldest uncle and the second uncle at home took care of it, so there was no need for the second girl to bother. She went door to door to inform the dozen or so experts who had the best tea picking in the past that they must come over to help pick tea one day. The eldest uncle and the second uncle's family have several girls who have married out, and several girls from the north have also called four, and the daughter-in-law of Huifu is also counted as one.

This is to make zuò tribute tea, everyone knows how strict the requirements are, so no one was called, no one pretentiously said why not to call her, and the one who was called was also trembling, and did not dare to be sloppy.

The matter of planting seedlings in the farmland has not yet ended, and the tea picking in the tea garden here has begun. More than 20 girls and daughters-in-law flew with their hands, constantly picking the tender leaves on the tip of the tea.

This time, Erya did not dry the tea leaves and then carry them back to fry as before, but brought two stir-fried tea pots, and fried the tea on the spot on the stove that can still be used on the mountain, which is fast and can ensure the absolute freshness of the tea plants.

The eldest prince of the Qin prefect specially sent someone down to inform her family that this year's tribute tea should be prepared at least fifty catties. If it weren't for the melon slices of Chen's shopkeeper's family this year, which would also be counted as tribute tea, it is estimated that her family would not be less than 100 catties. They are scraped layer by layer, and when they reach the emperor, it is estimated that there will be one or twenty catties left, but don't think that these officials and masters only dare to loot the common people.

Er Ya made a good tribute tea and a special tea for Chen's shopkeeper's house, and took the tea leaves and two jars of milk powder to the provincial capital, and the tea leaves at home were handed over to Xiaohu to fry, because it was specially made for Buhe's father to make good tea, so, Er Ya chose the tea herbs of the day before and after the rain and the day, and repeatedly explained to Xiaohu, the fire head should be fried older, otherwise Buhe's father will dislike the taste.

She went to the shopkeeper Chen's territory first, and the shopkeeper Chen saw Erya coming over, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Girl, do you still know how to come over?!" Do you want your shop? Just threw it at us! Yes!? ”

Erya may seem a little hung in front of the living, but in front of the shopkeeper Chen, she can only nod her head and bow her waist, and she has to smile on her face: "Uncle! Isn't this your and our big brother's! You can take care of everything, and I don't need to interfere with it, isn't it!? ”

As soon as Mr. Chen came out of the backyard, he saw the daughter-in-law of Xiaohu, who had always been deserted, nodding to his father and smiling flatteringly, how awkward he looked. He let out a cry of "Ahem!" Two sounds, interrupting Xiaohu's daughter-in-law's laughter.

"The brothers and sisters of the Wang family are here! Your shop has already been built, why didn't you come over? ”

Shopkeeper Chen was angry next to him, "Hmph! Said: "I don't care!" It doesn't matter if you have your own business, you still want to do big things, just your unconcerned attitude, I want to see how your business works! ”

Erya hurriedly defended herself and made a good impression: "Oops! Uncle, it's not that I'm not interested. I'm so busy at home that I really don't have time to come over! My eldest brother is married, my younger brother is full moon, and I have to be busy with spring planting and tea, and the school and many things in this town are taken care of by others, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even have time to eat. It's so busy! ”

When the shopkeeper Chen heard the word "tea", he immediately turned his attention to the tea and asked, "Is the tea ready?" Is this a tea delivery? ”

Erya nodded, "Yes! The eldest prince of Qin specially sent someone over to explain that he could only ask for fifty catties of tea. How much do you have in your home? ”

Before the shopkeeper Chen could answer, the eldest prince Chen interjected: "Governor Qin's mansion is taking care of your family, and the horse sent by your family seems to have really been sent to his heart, otherwise fifty catties of tea will not be able to be beaten at all."

Because my family is not a tribute tea yet, there is no qualitative saying how much to give. It's just that we plan to pay a tribute of 100 catties first, because officials at all levels have to taste it, determine whether they are qualified to make tribute tea, and send some filial piety by the way, it is estimated that there will not be much left when it comes to the emperor! ”

Er Ya only knew this time that his family's shopkeeper Chen only took a dozen catties of tea to promote the tribute tea, how much effort he made. And I also heard Xiaohu say that the horse was selected by Li Darthead, and the relationship between Li Darthead and Chen's shopkeeper is extraordinary, so he thanked Chen Shopkeeper by praising Li Dart, and said: "So, Uncle Chen, I owe you, but I can't pay it back." The matter of this tribute tea has passed, so I won't talk about it! Let's just talk about this horse! Listen to my little tiger said, it was selected by Li Darthead, this Li Dart Head was introduced to us by the uncle, he helped us a lot, investigate the source, we also have to thank the uncle. Looking back and thinking about it, my family has been able to get to where it is today, and it is all because of your support, uncle. ”

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile: "Don't thank me, it's also your own kindness and sincerity that I am willing to deal with you." Besides, my family was able to achieve the scale it is today, isn't it also thanks to you! We all help each other and support each other, and we can't thank each other, but we don't see each other! ”

Grand Prince Chen also smiled and said, "Brother and sister of the Wang family, don't come and go politely, quickly take out your tea leaves and give me a taste of new tea." ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Erya to reply, so he walked to the carriage parked outside the door, and it was Wang Shouhe, the second son of the grandfather's family, who was taking a brush to Ma Shunmao. Seeing Chen Dagongzi coming, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said hello to him, Chen Dagongzi had been to Wang's Zhuangzi, and he had a little impression of this little tiger's second cousin, so he hurriedly returned the salute and greeted: "Hard work Second Uncle Wang!" ”

Erya accompanied the shopkeeper Chen to follow behind and also came out, and the shopkeeper Chen asked as he walked: "How much tea did you bring to my family this time?" ”

Erya replied: "This year, because you also have new varieties to build momentum, I didn't plan to give you too much, but I only prepared sixty catties to make a foil for your new tea." I hope your melon slices are a full house! ”

Shopkeeper Chen nodded and said with a smile: "To borrow your auspicious words, although I plan to send a hundred catties this year, I still have no bottom in my heart." Just waiting for them to deliver the tea, I can only know how likely it is to become a tribute tea after I taste it, and then how to promote this new tea to have a specific charter.
