Just now, there was a frosty smile on his face, but when the door was opened, facing the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang, the frozen frost smile was dispersed, and it was replaced by an ordinary chuckle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info nodded at the nephew who was directly frightened when he opened the door, and Xiao Chuxuan said.

"Shopkeeper Tang can be inside."

Originally, I was sitting in it sipping tea, and I sat quite comfortably, but who knew that the eldest lady would come. After hearing the stammering "eldest lady" from his nephew, the tea in Tang's mouth squirted out directly. Hurriedly wiped the tea stains on his mouth and then got up, rushed to the door to greet him, Tang shopkeeper said with a smile: "Why is the eldest lady here today, no one from the outside has come in to spread the word." ”

As soon as these words fell, his eyes were already raised, and it seemed that he was planning to reprimand the guys outside. However, before the words of reprimand could be spoken, Xiao Chuxuan stopped him and said, "I asked them not to come in and spread the word." ”

"So that's what the eldest lady meant." Since it was the meaning of the eldest lady, then the shopkeeper Tang couldn't be angry, and immediately retreated with a smile, letting Xiao Chu enter the inner hall. Waiting for Xiao Chusu to enter the house, the shopkeeper Tang and his nephew followed, motioned to the guy to make a good cup of tea for the eldest lady, and waited for the tea to enter the inner hall.

"When did the eldest lady come, this is silent and don't let the guys report."

"What? Can't I go into my own tea shop silently, and I have to let the guys pass it on before I can come in? Taking a sip of tea, Xiao Chuxuan said.

As soon as these words came out, the nephew hurriedly replied: "Where is this eldest lady, this Xiao family teahouse is yours from beginning to end, and the eldest lady enters her own teahouse, how can you report it or not." It's just that the door was slammed just now, and suddenly I saw the eldest lady pestle outside, and the small one was not prepared, but the eldest lady was shocked. ”

"I'm shocked, what you said, isn't there something hidden that Miss Ben can't know?" The tea was held in his hand, and the person glanced at it, and the inquiring gaze obviously made the nephew stiffen. probably didn't expect the eldest lady to ask so bluntly, and the nephew's face obviously changed.

But soon, his face returned to normal, and the nephew hurriedly smiled: "The eldest lady said this, how can the little one and the shopkeeper hide something?" ”

"Yes." Nodding in response, putting down the teacup, and waiting for the teacup to be placed on the saucer, Xiao Chuxuan heard that the shopkeeper Tang asked, "Miss, what are you going to the teahouse today?" ”

This sentence does not only apply to others, but also to the owner. Although this shopkeeper Tang doesn't have any business brains, he is stupid and stupid when he looks at it, and his nephew can fool him with a few words. However, if you want to say that this mind is still sensitive, seeing that Xiao Chusu came silently today, and he has not let the guys outside pass it through, he feels that Xiao Chushu's arrival today is probably not just as simple as passing by.

Simply passing through?

Of course, Xiao Chuxuan did not simply pass by this time, but came over with a clear intention. Since the purpose is clear, it is not like this kind of people who are mixed up, and immediately nodded, Xiao Chuxuan said: "This time, there is really something to do." ”

"I don't know what happened to the eldest lady?"

"Naturally, it's for the spring tea of Yuanzhou."

"Spring tea?" As soon as Xiao Chu's words fell, the shopkeeper Tang and his nephew were all surprised, but the look on Tang's shopkeeper's face was a little stunned, and the nephew was a little more frightened. The expressions on the faces of the two were all condensed by Xiao Chu's words, and they exchanged glances with each other, and the shopkeeper Tang said.

"Spring tea, the eldest lady didn't care about the affairs of this Yuanzhou tea field in the past, how can she do it now?"

"Just because you didn't care about it in the past doesn't mean you won't care about it in the future. In the past few years, he has worked hard to be the shopkeeper, and he is the heart of the shopkeeper every year, Chu Su has not even moved his mind here, but he has a little bit of sitting back and enjoying it. Recently, the more Chu Su thought about it, the more he felt that it was very inappropriate, no, it happened that it was spring, and it was time to harvest spring tea, so Chu Su thought that he should also experience it himself, so as not to let the Tang shopkeeper work too hard. ”

"Miss's words are really serious, this is my business, how can I not work hard."

"Yes, this is a matter within the Tang shopkeeper's business, and there is really nothing to worry about, it's just that Chu Su wants to find something for himself. However, when this matter was found, Chu Su found a few strange places. ”

"Weird? The eldest lady found something strange. ”

The words did not answer, but glanced at the side of the bamboo, and after understanding, he opened the package in his hand, and took out the account handed over by the tea house inside, Xiao Chu said: "It is the tea farmer's labor and the silver required in the tea field every year, Tang shopkeeper, don't you think that the salary of the tea farmer over the years is a little ridiculously high?" ”

The profitability of this tea shop is not as bad as it is every year, and this year's disadvantage is not because the business is bleak, but because the cost is increasing every year. In the past, Xiao Chusu never cared about these things, Mo said that he never cared, but the accounts sent to the Xiao family every few months, the eldest lady seemed to rarely read them.

It was the eldest lady's indifference that made the people below start to be unscrupulous. I thought that the eldest lady didn't have this talent, and she didn't want to take care of it, so she has been reckless over the years, who would have thought that the eldest lady who doesn't care about things every year has asked about Chatian's capital today.

never expected that the eldest lady would suddenly become interested, so that after listening to Xiao Chuxuan's words, the nephew's complexion changed again.

Why the capital of the tea field is so high, the nephew is the clearest in his heart, but it is the shopkeeper of this tea shop, but he obviously does not know the doorway, and he does not know how much oil and water his trusted nephew has taken from him over the years. Xiao Chu's inquiry, the shopkeeper Tang was a little stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses, and then said.

"The eldest lady asked, but how much does this tea field cost every year? It's not just that the eldest lady feels that this cost is rising every year, and the higher it is, the more outrageous it is, even I can't stand it. This tea farmer in the south of the Yangtze River, you don't know, the eldest lady, is very arrogant, this salary has been raised for a year, and then it will rise every year. Miss, don't you know, this Diao farmer is the most hateful, and he is even more bloodless when he starts, and the price he asks for is even more ruthless. If the price is not given to the tea farmer who is unwilling to work, this good tea can not let them rot on the tree, this no, and can only admit this planting. ”

"In this way, the increase in tea purchase silver every year is because those tea farmers are becoming more and more cunning and arrogant."

"Exactly." The words should fall, his face was calm, and he seemed to be worried that Xiao Chu would not believe it, and the shopkeeper Tang did not forget to pull the nephew who was not quite right, and said: "The tea fields in the past few years have been procured by my nephew himself, although I have not seen those Diao farmers, but my nephew has been in contact with them. If the eldest lady wants to know how unruly those tenant farmers are, she can consult my nephew. ”

Originally, I was still thinking about how the eldest lady could ask about the tea field, but suddenly asked the shopkeeper Tang to pull it, and I was in danger of not composing. Although he was suddenly surprised, but fortunately, this person was also a thief, and he quickly understood his meaning and then hurriedly said.

"Miss, those small tenant farmers have personally dealt with them, you don't know how unruly those peasants are. The lion opened his mouth, not only the price rose outrageously, but people could also hate it. Although the tea field belongs to our Xiao family, Diao Nong is a local farmer, although we are the owner, but we are also weak, but we can't match a group of tenant farmers there. The matter of this price has always been in the hands of those farmers. Although the wages of this tea farmer have been trying to be suppressed, they still haven't been able to suppress too much, and they are still higher than the year before. ”

"Exactly, eldest lady, you don't know the power of tenant farmers, if those people are horizontal, Wang Fa can't control it." As soon as the nephew's words fell, the shopkeeper Tang replied immediately.

As soon as these words fell, I saw Xiao Chu nodding his head, his chin lightly, and he didn't give an approval. The more slowly and leisurely the tap, the more uneasy it made people feel uneasy, so after answering for a while, Xiao Chuxuan suddenly asked, "By the way, this year's new tea can be harvested?" ”

"Not yet, but the accounts of the wages that the tea farmers need this year have already been delivered."

"Oh? Since it has already been delivered? I don't know if the price has increased this year? Xiao Chushu didn't know if the price of the tenant farmer had risen this year, but she knew that the price quoted in the tea shop this year would inevitably rise.

After the inquiry, the shopkeeper Tang nodded and said, "Miss, this year's salary, the price has risen again, and it has risen a little outrageously. ”

"How many silver taels have risen in one breath?"

"Ishei."

One percent, for those who do business, this percent of silver does not know how much profit to be caught. Needless to say, this cost alone is enough to make most people change their complexion. But the strange thing is that after hearing this extra 10% of the capital, Xiao Chu's face can't see much different colors, but it is quite usual.

is such a Miss Xiao, it is really impossible to imagine that she was a woman with a soft personality in the past.

I didn't touch the tea, I didn't answer, but I put my hand on the desk, and I didn't knock it for a while. After a few taps like this, Xiao Chu said: "One percent of silver, if this one goes up, I'm afraid I won't make any money this year." ”

"Miss, this is also a helpless thing, the tenant farmers in Yuanzhou are like this, and the price has climbed high. At the moment, I am also very annoyed here, if this amount of money is approved, I am afraid that I will not make any money, but if I don't give it, this tea farmer will not do anything, and there will be no new tea this year. Our Xiaojia Tea Shop is a time-honored brand, and we can't have good new tea every year, but there is nothing this year. If this spreads, how will our tea shop gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future? ”

Shopkeeper Tang's words were indeed difficult, and immediately Xiao Chu frowned slightly, and said: "Yes, this batch is not, and it is not approved by not, it looks quite difficult." The cost is going to rise, but the children of the Xiao family have to take care of it. Our Xiao family has also been established in Kyoto for more than 20 years, and now if we don't even want new tea because of the cost, not to mention what will come out of the outside, it is the regular customers who have come and gone over the years, and I am afraid that it will flow outside. ”

"I think so too, so although the wage has risen again, I still give orders to go down and give the money."

"New tea is wanted, but the wages that this tea farmer wants, it is difficult to achieve it and it is not negotiable."

"The eldest lady doesn't know, we have already discussed this salary, and those Diao farmers wanted to increase it by 20% in one go this year. It's just that he has been working in our Xiao family's farmland all the year round, and it is also for the sake of the old customers that he has increased our silver. ”

"In this way, we don't have to make any money from this new tea this year, and the tea produced in the field tea next to us has nothing to earn?" His eyes swept, but his eyes flashed. After flashing, the shopkeeper Tang said: "So it seems, it should be so. ”

"That's right." I don't know what Xiao Chuxuan is coiling in his heart, and the tone of voice that is gently raised for a while and slow for a while always makes people feel like they are worried in their hearts. There was a faint sound, and then there was a half-pause, Xiao Chu said.

"We don't make much money when we mention a hundred percent of silver, and even more so when we want to come to other small tea shops, after all, the wages have risen all the way, and the price of this small trader who buys tea has to go up. Our Xiao family has a solid background, so we can afford to toss, but those small workshops, I'm afraid they don't have so much capital to call Diao Nong toss. This breath raised 20% of the silver, that is, there is a heart, I am afraid that most of them are also powerless, and I am afraid that few tenant farmers can afford the wages they want. ”

"What the eldest lady said is even."

"So."

"So what?" The sudden change in tone made people can't help but feel a "gurgle" in their hearts, shocked, Tang shopkeeper asked, and after asking, Xiao Chu said: "So, the new tea picked by tenant farmers this year may not necessarily have a market even if the price is raised." Their costs are rising vigorously, and in order to make money, our silver must also rise. He's willing to raise the price, and there have to be fools willing to take it, right? The price is raised, no one wants to buy it, and it must not be broken in the end. One percent, if they really let them rise by one percent, the tea can't be sold when poured, even if it drops by two or three percent, in order to return to the capital, it has to be obediently lowered, and the loss will be even greater. ”

If there is no market, things can only end up with no return.

People who want to do business understand this truth, but it's a pity that the shopkeeper of her tea shop never seems to have thought about this part. Because of Xiao Chu's words, Tang's shopkeeper's complexion can be regarded as changing, of course, the reason for this change in complexion is due to the meaning on Xiao Chu's face, or the hidden meaning in the words, it is unknown.

After talking for a long time, his throat was a little dry, and after taking a sip of the cold tea, Xiao Chu said: "This tea, we have to ask for it, we can't let all the tea in the tea field rot in the ground." But it's not how much the other party wants, we depend on him, if he wants to raise the price, then let him raise it, it really annoys Miss Ben, it's a big deal to let the tea rot in the ground. I want to see where they can drink the northwest wind this year when they have no tea to harvest. ”

"I understand what the eldest lady means, the eldest lady wants to take the opportunity to bargain, but the eldest lady has a certain number in her heart. If there is a fixed number, and the eldest lady is bothered to inform me, I will also have an accuracy in my heart, so I can tell the people below to bite the price when the time comes. ”

"Do you count in your heart? Of course, I have a quasi-number in mind, but this number is not bothered by the shopkeeper. ”

"What do you mean, Miss?"

"Diao Nong, I've heard of this Diao Heng tea farmer, but I've really never heard of such a Diao Heng. This year, Miss Ben wants to go to that place in person, and meet these Diao farmers, and see why they raise wages every year. ”

Rose.

Of course, it has to rise for a living, but it doesn't grow like crazy with grabbing silver.

Xiao Chu's meaning is very clear, this time the spring tea selection does not need to borrow the hands of the people below, she, the head of the Xiao family, plans to go to Yuanzhou in person to see how difficult the new tea has been in recent years, and can make those tenant farmers like this.

Xiao Chuxuan actually moved his mind and planned to handle the new tea in person, which was far beyond their expectations. Especially the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang, when he heard the end from the beginning to the end, his face had already changed, especially when he heard that Xiao Chusu was going to personally handle the purchase of new tea, his face instantly turned white.

He knows the most about the capital, but now the eldest lady wants to ask in person, as long as the eldest lady personally intervenes in this matter, then the matter of him swallowing silver in the capital in recent years will also be revealed.

Rebates, people's hearts are greedy, once they are stained, they don't want to stop it. One year is higher than one year, and this heart is also greedy for a year, if this is dug up by the eldest lady together, I'm afraid he won't want to live.

Originally, it was difficult to see the extreme complexion, and the whole heart was pinched together, who knew that Xiao Chusu didn t know whether it was intentional or deliberate, and he actually said in a quiet voice.

"Tenant farmers sometimes hate it, it's really hateful, but I don't think it's strange how much money has risen up. No matter how big the lion is, it won't open up to such a field, so this year's new tea, I think it's better to manage it yourself. If the tenant farmers are black-hearted and hold workers to raise prices, then we are thinking of something else. But if it's not the tenant farmer's fault, but some people look at our Xiao family's money and want to take the opportunity to swallow it, then, hehe! ”

After a pause in his voice, his voice was sarcastic, and after mockery, Xiao Chuxuan said word by word: "Then for this matter, I'm afraid I have to invite the government to uphold justice." ”
