85_85563 When Sedum heard this, she wanted to find a craftsman to draw the floor layout. A small guy walked out of behind him, took out a stack of papers from the boot tuck, and replied, "Master, the small one has been measured and drawn drawings." ”

This little guy's name is Huafu, he came to Yuzhou this time to buy a new one, and he runs an errand behind him on weekdays.

Hua Jingtian took the drawings and unfolded them, seeing that the outlines on them were clear and detailed, and said with a smile: "You are a clever person, there are always a lot of trivial matters at the beginning of the project, or you will follow Miss Xia in the future." ”

Hua Fu was busy giving Xia Qingyun a gift, Xia Qingyun said: "The eldest uncle gave me all the people, and I have to work myself." ”

Hua Jingtian said with a smile: "I won't stay in Yuzhou for a long time, and I will bring a few more people over next time I go back to Beijing." In the future, when tea houses and tea houses are opened, you will need more manpower. ”

He handed the drawings to Xia Qingyun and said, "I invited a few old friends to sit together at Songhe Tower at noon, and I will take care of them in the future." ”

Business connections are very important, and Xia Qingyun readily agreed. She checked the drawings of Huafu, checked the location and size, etc., and there was nothing missing, so she went to the building materials workshop with Hua Jingtian to learn about the materials commonly used in Yuzhou, and in the afternoon, the two came to Songhe Tower.

Xiao Er led the two into the private room, and there were already two middle-aged people waiting inside, leaning against the window and chatting. When I saw them come in, I greeted them with a smile. Hua Jingtian made introductions, one is named Feng Yichang, who is the largest silk merchant in Yuzhou, and the other is Liang Huabin, who runs the four treasures of the study and the calligraphy and painting business.

After a while, four or five more people came one after another, all of whom were about the same age as Sedum, and they were all shrewd and sophisticated businessmen.

Sitting down with a greeting, Hua Jingtian said: "Do you know that the popular white peony and white silver needle in the capital are from my niece's tea garden!" This time, I came to Yuzhou to open a tea house and a tea house. And I would like to ask you to cheer you on! ”

Feng Yichang said with a smile: "With the friendship between you and me, needless to say!" Miss Xia is really admirable for taking charge of herself at a young age. However, can this teahouse only make money by selling some tea? ”

Xia Qingyun said: "Uncle Feng, the teahouse is not so much selling tea, but rather selling places. ”

She smiled and pointed to the food and drinks that had just been placed on the table. "Uncles. Songhelou is the leading restaurant in Yuzhou, and no matter how exquisite the wine and food sold, it is also cooked with ordinary ingredients. How can a plate of vegetables sell for the price of a basket of greens? People eat here not only for ingredients and convenience, but also for connecting feelings and negotiating business. I heard that there are many literati in Yuzhou, if there is an elegant place. You can talk about the past and the present, and you can exchange piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He Chou has no business. ”

She was calm and relaxed, and she talked eloquently, and everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.

Feng Yichang said: "The teahouse is a new business, and it has to be raised for some time. Although it is not as cumbersome as a restaurant, there are a lot of chores in daily life, depending on the girl. I have to take care of tea estates and tea gardens, and I am afraid that I will lack skills. ”

Sedum was about to ask them about it. Busy said: "What Brother Yichang said is reasonable. I have already found someone in the tea house, and I want to entrust you again to recommend a competent shopkeeper to assist Qingyun in taking care of the tea house, do you have a suitable candidate? ”

Liang Huabin said with a smile: "It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, I happen to have one here, who used to be the second shopkeeper in my painting academy, who is not only coarse in writing and ink, but also good at socializing and socializing, and diligent in his work." Last year, my father passed away, and I returned to my hometown to keep filial piety, and I guess it's time for now, so why don't you let him try? ”

"Brother Liang recommends, why not!" Hua Sedum smiled and raised his wine glass, "Come, do it first as a respect, and in the future, the little nephew's business is that you are doing the things of your uncles, so I will ask for everyone!" ”

Everyone laughed and toasted, and the atmosphere was very warm. During the banquet, they chatted while eating, and talked about many things in the business field of Yuzhou, and ate a meal for more than an hour before they were full of wine and food.

Back at the house, Zhou said as soon as he saw Xia Qingyun: "Girl, yesterday the fruit farmer sent something, and I waited in the flower hall for a long time. ”

"I forgot about it. Is his daughter coming along? Xia Qingyun asked as he walked.

Zhou said: "It's here, even my son is here." The daughter's legs and feet are not very convenient, and his brother carried it. ”

Walking into the flower hall, the fruit farmer took a descendant and a young girl to get up and salute.

The girl's complexion was fair, her face was delicate, her demeanor was a little shy, she stood up with her hand on the edge of the table, took a step forward and leaned, she was lame.

The offspring next to him is also clear-eyed, and he has more Sven temperament than ordinary peasant boys.

Xia Qingyun smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and asked, "I don't know what Uncle is called?" ”

The fruit farmer said: "My surname is Tian, and my name is Tian Zhenyu. This is my son Tian Chuqi and daughter Tian Chuyou. Chu You was sick when he was a child, and his leg was disabled, and he usually couldn't do any heavy work, so he loved to make some food by himself. ”

As he spoke, he asked Tian Chuqi to carry over two baskets of dried broken fruits for Xia Qingyun to look at.

As soon as the basket is opened, the sweet and sour fruity aroma comes to the nose, and the dried fruits of various colors are mixed together, looking like colorful gemstones. Picking a few and throwing them into her mouth, she squinted her eyes sourly.

Tian Chu looked at it anxiously, and whispered: "The fruit is sweet and sour, it's okay to soak in water and drink it, eat it like this."

"It's good." Xia Qingyun glanced at her with a smile, and called Zhou Shi and said, "Take these and take another ten taels of silver." ”

When the father and daughter heard this, they were all stunned, but they didn't expect that these inconspicuous dried fruits would cost more than a cart of fresh fruits.

Tian Zhenyu hurriedly waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "I can't help it, I can't help it, miss, these fruits are all made by Chu You from unsold fruits, and they are not worth so much silver!" ”

Zhou came in with the silver in his hand, and when he heard his words, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Everyone is willing to make more money, you are honest, and there are those who push the silver out." ”

Xia Qingyun said: "Not everyone can do this dried fruit well, just peeling, washing and cutting the fruit into small pieces, it takes a lot of effort, right?" What's more, it has to be carefully baked, in the selection of impurities, careful matching, painstaking effort, a large basket of fruits is only two or three percent. ”

"How does Miss know!" Tian Chuyou's eyes widened.

Zhou smiled beside him: "Our young lady is a fairy-like figure, even the leaves on the tea tree can be made into tea, so she can naturally taste your dried fruit." ”

Tian Chuyou's eyes suddenly brightened, "Can the leaves of the tree also soak in water?" Miss, can you please let me see it? ”

"Chu You!" Tian Zhenyu shouted: "Why are you so unruly! ”

"Okay," Xia Qingyun glanced at Tian Chuyou meaningfully, instructed Zhou to bring a tea set, and took out a few small bamboo tubes, each brewing a few tea soups for Tian Chuyou to taste.

Tian Chuyou limped to the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, with an unbelievable look on his face. She tasted each teacup, frowned lightly and asked, "Why does the same leaf taste different?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Qingyun shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Tian Zhenyu hurriedly said: "Let Miss see and laugh, Chu You, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Tian Chuyou's face turned red, put down the teacup and retreated to his seat, bowed his head and touched the corners of his clothes, not daring to say anything more.

"How do you tell if they're from the same tea?" Xia Qingyun asked curiously.

Tian Chuyou looked up at Tian Zhenyu, and stopped talking.

"Don't be afraid, just speak up." Xia Qingyun encouraged. It was the first time she had seen someone drink tea and taste the origin of the tea, and even she couldn't do it herself!

Tian Chuyou said softly: "I have a better sense of taste than others since I was a child, although the taste and aroma of these teas are slightly different, but under careful tasting, I can still feel the similarities." I guessed too. ”

Xia Qingyun couldn't help but shake her head in surprise, she had the intention to keep Tian Chuyou, so she diverted the topic and asked about the situation of the Tian family's orchard.

learned from Tian Zhenyu that he was originally a showman, teaching in a private school in the countryside, but because his wife and daughter were not in good health, he quit his hometown to take care of the orchard. The size of the orchard is not large, and the income is only enough for the family.

After chatting for a while, Tian Zhenyu got up to say goodbye, and Xia Qingyun instructed the Zhou family to send their father and daughter out, and sat alone in the flower hall to ponder.

After dinner, she took out the drawings drawn by Hua Fu to take a closer look, and inadvertently found a special symbol on the back of a piece of paper, Hua Fu turned out to be a person from the shadow door?

remembered that Zhiqiu had said that she was sent to Yuzhou to carry out a mission, could it be that Huafu was arranged by her?

Thinking of this, Xia Qingyun couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, it must be Si Hong Bowen who knew that he was going to do business in Yuzhou, so he ordered Zhiqiu to come to the front station! It feels really good to be cared for by others, her heart is full of sweetness, and she spreads out the paper to outline the decoration map of the teahouse.

Twenty days later, the tea house and tea house were renovated and opened on an auspicious day. The tea house is named Qingyun Tea House after the name of the tea garden, and the tea house is named Qingyun Xuan.

As expected by Hua Sedum and others, the business that had just opened was not good, and it was almost a mess.

No one cares about the best tea leaves in the tea estate, and the high-grade tea leaves are only sold for a few taels. Xia Qingyun wondered in his heart, the price of tea was reduced by two percent compared to the business name of the Huangfu family in the capital, even if ordinary people could not afford to drink it, those dignitaries and wealthy merchants from the capital could always consume it. Why aren't there any customers coming to the door?

Hua Sedum comforted: "Tea is a new thing, and the store always needs to be raised for a while before it will improve." ”

Xia Qingyun thought for a long time, found Hua Fu alone, and asked him to go to Yuzhou City to find out what the reason was.

Within two days, Hua Fu came to report that the reason why people did not come to the tea house to sell tea was because some people spread that the tea in Qingyun Tea House was a counterfeit and could not be compared with that of Huangfu's firm at all!

Huajing had to slap the table directly, "Which one is spreading rumors behind your back!" It's all handmade by Miss Xia, how can it be fake! ”

While he was talking, the job came and said, "Owner! Oh no, go to the front and take a look, someone came to us and said that our tea was shoddy, and we wanted to return it and lose money! (To be continued).
