Everyone's faces changed, they had never been to the door when they lacked food and drink, and now they came to me when they smelled the slightest movement, specifying that they didn't have any kind eyes.

Dad sighed and got up to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, are you eating?" Xia Jian'an smiled all over his face and sat down unceremoniously.

"Uncle, it's rare to see you once in this village, which gust of wind blew you here?" The mother said with a calm face and while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Eh, don't be in a hurry to collect it yet, the third child and I haven't eaten yet." He looked at the braised bullfrog meat bar in the bowl, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance, and his gluttonous saliva almost flowed down.

"Our food is not delicious!" Xia Qingyun said, neatly helping her mother to take away all the dishes and chopsticks.

"This Nizi, why is it so big and not small." Xia Jian'an saw her take away the bowl of fragrant meat, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Ahem." Xia Jianxi coughed twice pretendedly, suggesting that he hurry up and get down to business.

Xia Jian'an asked knowingly: "Big brother, I heard that you went to the village chief's house to buy land today and spent five taels of silver, why did you get so much money." ”

Xia Jianping took out a cigarette pouch and lit it, took two puffs and said: "The day before yesterday, I caught a bamboo leaf on the mountain, and when I was rushing to the market, I ran into the emperor's family to collect snake gall, so I exchanged some money." ”

"Old Master Huangfu's house?" Xia Jian'an exaggeratedly exclaimed: "That's a famous big family in the town, it must have given a lot of silver, right?" ”

Seeing that Xia Jianping didn't answer, he laughed a few times, put on a sad face and said: "Big brother, you also know that our family relies on those few acres of land, and more than a dozen mouthfuls of food and clothing are tight, and we have to prepare a dowry for his sister-in-law." Your nephews are big when they see it, and they have to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and they lack money in their hands. ”

Xia Qingyun sneered when he listened, "Second uncle, don't talk about our family." The old house is the old house, our home is our home, and it has long been separated. ”

"What?" When Xia Jian'an heard this, he immediately shouted, "Adults talk, what are you talking about!" What's wrong with the separation, I'm not your second uncle when I split up? Yuan Hao and Yuan Pei, aren't they your cousins? ”

"What are you yelling at the child?" Xia Jianping was not happy, the second brother was famous for his laziness and gluttony in the village, and it was he who came up with the idea to break up the family, insisting that he had carpentry skills, and he didn't even give a cent of land.

Xia Jianxi secretly kicked the second brother, meaning to make him talk.

"Big brother," Xia Jian'an put a fake smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "Yuan Hao and Yuan Pei will be married in a few years, and I also want to build two rooms in the old mansion, but this is not just spring, and the land has not yet been completed, and the hand is a little tight, I want to borrow twenty taels from you, you see"

Twenty taels? Xia Qingyun almost laughed angrily at his words, he really could say it!

"Nope!" Without waiting for Xia Qingyun to speak, his father refused.

"How can you not have it," Xia Jian'an moved his buttocks, approached Xia Jianping and said in a low voice: "Big brother, I've heard that you spent five taels just to buy land, and you have to hire someone to build a house." Materials and labor cost a lot of money. When the house is built, there are also household belongings to be added, which is another sum of money. If you want me to say, your family has only one son in Huayun, and you don't need to build such a big house. Lend the rest of the money to me and the third child, and let the nephews remember your kindness. ”

The three sisters and brothers looked at each other, and the second uncle calculated their family, and his wishful thinking was crackling.

Seeing that Xia Jianping was smoking without saying a word, he turned to his sister-in-law again, and said with concern on his face: "Sister-in-law, did you say it?" Qingyun and Qiuyun are about to get married, and there is only one Huayun left in the family, and it is inevitable that there will be a time when they can't take care of it. When you are old and need help with something at home, a few nephews will designate you to take care of you as your own father and mother. ”

Xia Qingyun was really angry and laughed at his words now, "Second uncle, which eye did you see that Qiu Yun and I were going to get married?" Not to mention that when my father and mother are old, just last month, when my family had no food or drink, and was about to starve to death, which of you came to take care of me? ”

Xia Jian'an rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't interject when adults talk!" ”

"I earned the money back, and my family is now my own!" Xia Qingyun's tone was tough, and he didn't give him face at all.

"Really?" Xia Jian'an's eyes widened, "Big brother, why don't you let a girl call the shots, she will be someone else's girl sooner or later, your nephews, oh, and Hua Yun, this is the root of our Xia family." Otherwise, if there are no twenty taels, ten taels will be done, and I will make do with a room first. ”

Xia Qingyun is angry, she hates these people who look down on women the most. What's more, Xia Jian'an is the kind of person who doesn't take advantage enough, even if he gives him money, he won't say a good word about you behind his back.

"Or eight taels? Five taels is fine" Xia Jian'an leaned towards his eldest brother, and he couldn't wait to take out the silver from his arms immediately.

"Enough!" Xia Qingyun slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Xia Jian'an, and said, "Tell you clearly, we won't take out even a copper plate!" Who was shouting for the separation of the family? Who wouldn't even let my father and mother carry out a pound of white rice and white noodles? Who refused to borrow even a single penny when I was dying? Now seeing that my family has just earned a little silver, I want to come to fight the autumn breeze with red eyes, but there is no door! ”

"You!" Xia Jian'an was annoyed and angry by what she said, and raised his hand to fan him.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Huayun suddenly stopped in front of her sister.

"Dick!" Xia Jianping frowned and said, "Qingyun is right. Now the house is in her hands. You go back with the third child, don't mention borrowing money again in the future, everyone in the province doesn't look good. ”

"Big brother, you" He wanted to say something more, but Xia Jianxi grabbed him beside him, "Big brother, then I will go back with my second brother first, and come to see you another day." ”

was troubled by these two people, and everyone was not in the mood to continue eating.

Xia Qingyun said: "Dad, don't be angry with them. When you go to the town tomorrow, take the paperwork for the separation of the family and prepare the case in the government, so that they can be reborn in the future. ”

Xia Jianping nodded. He also figured out that when the family was in trouble, when the brothers were more indifferent than the living, they didn't take a handle when they saw that the child was no longer good. As soon as there was a hope, they wanted to take advantage of it, and they asked for twenty taels of silver for a mouth. Such brothers will still have little contact in the future.

The next day, Dad and Hua Yun went to the village chief to buy the hill behind the house, in addition to fifty taels of silver to buy land, they also specially left one or two pieces of silver, saying that they were grateful to the village chief for taking care of them.

There is a way to reach out and not to give gifts, the village chief happily accepted it, and came to the town with their father and son on the same day, and exchanged the official deed.

With money in their pockets, it is convenient to do things, Dad and Huayun went home and hurriedly ate a mouthful of food, and began to be busy buying materials to find craftsmen, saying that they would start construction in three days.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the Xia family gets up before dawn in the past two days, and they are busy until dark before resting, and they are all energetic, and the corners of their mouths are turned up.

The tea saplings in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion are one day at a time, and after five or six days, the first young leaves can already be picked.

Xia Qingyun took her mother and little sister to spread the buds and leaves she picked on the bamboo sieve, and taught them how to bloom and wither.

The process of making white tea is relatively simple, there is no need to fry and roll, as long as you carefully observe the withered color. The sunlight, temperature and humidity in the Rooiboo Pavilion are suitable and stable, and the quality of the tea will not deteriorate at all.

The last step of drying is a little more difficult to master, in order not to affect the quality of the first batch of tea, Xia Qingyun still went into battle in person. This time, a total of ten catties of the best white peony were produced.

After the tea is made, the packaging is still a problem. Xia Qingyun finally decided to still use the bamboo tube, but changed it to two by two.

She asked her father and Hua Yun to go up the mountain to cut a lot of green bamboo, and after drying it, they made bamboo tubes of equal size. Dad learned carpentry and bamboo weaving, so he used fine bamboo strips to weave a small bamboo box with a lid, just enough to put two cylinders of tea.

Xia Qingyun put the packaged white peony on the table and looked left and right, always feeling that something was missing.

The little sister lay on the table, stared at the bamboo tube and said, "Sister, such a beautiful bamboo tube, if only I could draw some pictures on it." ”

Xia Qingyun's eyes lit up, rubbed her little sister's face and smiled: "It's still my little sister who is smart!" ”

She found her father's carpenter's carving knife, burned it red on the fire, and quickly sketched a simple landscape pattern on the bamboo tube.

The back of the bamboo tube is branded with a line of words, "The bamboo rain of the poetry bed is cool, and the tea is pine and the wind is fine."

After thinking about it, he turned the bamboo tube over again, and branded the word "Qingyun" with a seal on the ground.

The blue-yellow bamboo tube is lined with deep and light brown calligraphy and paintings, which looks elegant and atmospheric, exuding a faint bamboo fragrance.

The little sister likes it very much, and she plays with it over and over again in her hand.

After Xia Qingyun finished drawing these, he took a few small bamboo tubes that could only hold half a tael of tea leaves, and simply sketched a few strokes. She plans to give these small bamboo tubes as a giveaway.

The tea business can derive many side branches. Not only the tea itself, but also the utensils that hold the tea leaves, the teapots for tasting tea, the tea cups, the tea trays, the tea tables, the tea mats, and even the incense when drinking tea, all of them can make knowledge.

At present, the resources are limited, and she can only decorate the tea tube for the time being, and when it develops in the future, she wants to do these businesses.

Father and mother and Hua Yun were also dazzled when they saw these tea cones after the branding, and praised Xia Qingyun's dexterity.

"This is still an idea that Xiaomei came up with." Xia Qingyun said with a smile.

Dad saw that his hands were itchy, so he asked Xia Qingyun to teach him, and he also drew a few gourds in the same way.

Although he can't write, his hands are very skillful, and his paintings are common landscapes, trees and stones, so the calligraphy and paintings are more natural than those made by his daughter.

Xia Qingyun saw that his father was very interested, so he found a few bamboo tubes and branded them with different words.

"Bamboo dew, pine phoenix, banana rain, tea, smoke, piano rhyme, and book sound."

"Draw river water to cook new tea, and buy all the green mountains as a picture screen."

"The heart goes with the flowing water, and the body is idle with the wind and clouds."

"The small stone cold spring leaves a green taste, and the new purple mud is full of spring."

She never expected at this time that because of these few more poems, the Xia family's tea would set off an unprecedented rush to buy and collect in the circle of dignitaries and nobles in the future.
