"Hualing, Huashu, where is your father?" Zhengbo asked, taking the hands of the two children.

Hua Ling and Hua Shudeng's eyes were also red, and they replied with a sob: "Niangniang was washed away by the flood, and my father was also washed away by the water in order to save my mother." Thanks to Sister Qingyun, we have a place to stay. ”

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry." Uncle Zheng helped the sister and brother wipe their tears and took them in his arms.

Xia Qingyun never expected that the Hua family sisters and brothers he inadvertently saved would be Huang Fuzheng's cousins and nephews. It's a coincidence.

Zhengbo hugged the sisters and brothers of the Hua family to ask for warmth, and carefully asked about the situation of the flood at home, and he was embarrassed.

Father and mother watched from the sidelines, not only happy for them, but also a little reluctant in their hearts.

The Hua siblings have been familiar with them these days, and they regard these four children as their own. Now that the relatives are together, Uncle Zheng is the cousin of the Hua family's sisters and brothers, and after this recognition, maybe he will have to take away the Hua family's brothers and sisters.

Listening to Hua Ling and Hua Shu talk about how to escape from the famine, how to escape from the hands of gangsters, how Hua Rong got sick, and met Xia Qingyun to rescue Yunyun, Zhengbo gave up to Xia Qingyun and her father and mother again and again, "Miss Xia, Master Xia, Mrs., you are really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!" I only said that Miss Xia had a deep fortune in her previous life, and she only had adventures in this life, but I didn't know that Miss Xia had always been a bodhisattva! No wonder God protects the Xia family! ”

Xia Qingyun smiled silently.

Zhengbo said: "Miss Xia, thank you for your great kindness, in the future, wherever I can help, I will definitely go all out!" ”

"Uncle Zheng, you don't have to be outside." Xia Qingyun poured him a cup of hot tea, "Be a man with good thoughts, if you meet others that day, you will definitely reach out to help." Don't worry about it. ”

"Yes, he is an uncle, the child is pitiful, and no one will ignore it if he sees it. You're welcome. The mother also said on the side.

"Alas, don't say anything, our two families are fate!" Zhengbo took a sip of tea, "If there is anything in the business field in the future, Miss Xia can speak." It's not that I'm boasting, in the business circle of the capital, my Huangfu is still more or less able to speak. ”

After being polite for a while, Zhengbo got up and said, "I should have begged for a housewarming wine to eat, but I was worried about going back early to give my mother and aunt a letter, so I won't bother and come back to visit another day." ”

He looked at the Hualing sisters and brothers, "Ling'er, Shu'er, you should come with me, your grandparents are all in the capital, but I am looking forward to your news." ”

Hua Ling and Hua Shu took a step back at the same time, pulled the corner of Xia Qingyun's clothes, and shook their heads again and again.

Hua Ling said: "Uncle Cousin, we want to live with Sister Qingyun, we don't want to go to the capital. ”

They wandered all the way, and finally settled down, and they played well with Qingyun, Huayun, and Qiuyun, and they were cared for by Qingyun's father and mother, so they naturally didn't want to follow this cousin who suddenly appeared to go to a strange capital.

Seeing this, Uncle Zheng couldn't forcibly take away the four sisters and brothers, so he had to say, "It's okay." Miss Naxia, I have to ask you to take care of their siblings for a while, and then I will pick them up after I show my mother and aunt. ”

Before leaving, Zhengbo instructed the little servant to bring the tea tray of Wujin stone and the newly made tea utensils, and he said apologetically: "Miss Xia, things came suddenly, I will take the samples first, and when the documents and prices are written tomorrow, I will send someone to see you, what do you think?" ”

Xia Qingyun agreed: "It should be like this." The sisters and brothers of the Hua family are all good here, and Zhengbo doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Here Zhengbo said goodbye to the Xia family and came out, but in the courtyard over there, Xiaohuateng and Xiaohuarong hid aside and cried.

The mother hugged the two children and coaxed them with kind words for a long time before they stopped crying.

"Godmother, we don't want to go to the capital." Hua Rong hugged her mother's neck and said softly, sobbing from time to time.

"Don't go, don't go," the mother coaxed them, and she didn't feel good in her heart, she was reluctant in every way, and she couldn't stand the grandparents and grandparents of the Hua family's sisters and brothers.

After moving to a new home, Qingyun Tea Garden also entered the peak of summer tea picking.

In the first two months, the girls who picked tea in the tea garden could earn an average of about one or two halves of silver per month. The fame of Qingyun Tea Garden spread quickly. The girls from ten miles and eight towns have asked someone to find someone to guarantee in Beixi Village, and they all want to work in the Qingyun Tea Garden.

Xia Qingyun's salary is high, and the management is quite strict. Not only is it strict attendance and uniform dress, but the new tea picking girls must be trained and assessed, and only after passing can they be assigned to the exclusive area to pick tea.

Picking good tea is the premise of making good tea. In order to ensure the quality of tea, Xia Qingyun set strict picking standards, requiring that the green tea picked has no fish leaves, no flying leaves, no old leaves, no sundries, no bud stems, and the fresh leaves are evenly clean.

And it is stipulated that there are ten non-pickings in the tea garden: do not pick in rainy days, do not pick the dew before drying, do not pick the thin buds, do not pick the purple bud head, do not pick the wind injury bud, do not pick the injured bud, do not pick the insect wound bud, do not pick the happy bud, do not pick the hollow bud, and do not pick the diseased bud.

The area of the tea garden has been expanded to 30 acres, and the fresh leaves picked every day are neatly stacked on the withering frame after they are opened on the bamboo sieve. Xia Qingyun, Niang and Qiuyun shuttled back and forth between the withering frames, checking the color of the withering and sieving them in time.

The withered hair tea is sent to a specially set up tea-making courtyard. Here, Xia Qingyun put the hair tea into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion for drying.

In the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, she only needs to move her mind, and the hair tea will automatically dry into an excellent quality tea.

During the day, they are busy in the tea garden and workshop, and at night, Xia Qingyun's mother and daughter have to go to the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion to pick tea and make tea, whenever they feel tired, they will soak in the hot spring of Qixing Spring for a while, not only the fatigue will disappear, but also the skin will become more and more crystal white.

More than half a month has passed, and more than 400 catties of summer tea have been produced in the tea garden. Because the top-grade Baihao silver needles and white peonies made in the previous two months still have 500 catties of stock each, which is enough to ensure the supply to the autumn tea market, Xia Qingyun pressed this batch of tea into tea cakes.

The bread on the outside of the tea cake is made of white cotton paper, and in the center of the cotton paper is written 'Tianying Snow', which is the name she gave to the tea cake. The inscription is four small characters of Qingyun Tea Garden, and a small cinnabar seal with a leaf pattern is printed in the blank space.

After white tea is pressed into tea cakes, it will naturally ferment during storage, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow and fragrant the tea flavor will be.

In addition, white tea also has the saying of "one year of tea, three years of medicine, seven years of treasure", the longer the storage time, the higher the medicinal value. Therefore, Xia Qingyun promised the Huangfu family that as long as there were no damaged and deteriorated white peonies and white silver needles, she could recycle them all at the original price.

The best tea made in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion also has more than 300 catties of inventory, and Xia Qingyun also took some pressed cakes, named 'Yue Qinghui', and stored them in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion together with Tianyingxue.

More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and in late June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Niang and Huayun counted the inventory of the workshop, there are 500 black stone tea trays, 6,000 bamboo tea tubes, 1,200 red sandalwood tea tubes, rosewood, nanmu, wenge wood tea tubes ranging from 300 to 500. There are 5,000 sets of bamboo tea ware, 2,500 sets of sandalwood tea ware, and 1,800 sets of rosewood and other wooden tea wares.

In addition, the tea table workshop has produced nine sets of rosewood tea tables, nine sets of golden silk nanmu tea tables, and twelve sets of wenge wood and golden camphor wood tea tables.

Xia Qingyun audited all the accounts, excluding personnel expenses, material purchases, household expenses, etc., and made a net profit of 167,500 taels of silver in three months.

"Oh my God, you've made so much in just three months?" The family exclaimed.

Xia Qingyun counted them with his fingers, tea leaves, tea tubes, tea utensils, tea trays, and tea tables, all of which were counted into five categories, more than a dozen varieties, and the average monthly net profit was more than 50,000 silver.

Dad asked with some hesitation: "Qingyun, is it appropriate for us to sell it so expensive?" ”

"Dad, what's inappropriate? Since antiquities are rare and expensive, and everything we make is a fine product, if you sell it cheaply, those officials and gentlemen still don't look down on it. Xia Huayun hurriedly said. He often chatted with his sister during this time, and learned a lot of new insights from Xia Qingyun.

"But no, his father, don't forget that this tea was given to us by the Queen Mother, and we can't sell it cheaply." Mother said.

"That's, that's," Dad nodded.

The next day, Xia Qingyun gathered the workers in the workshop together and announced that the thirty-six people who had not taken a vacation since the start of work, and the twenty-two people who had good craftsmanship and exquisite work, were rewarded with an additional one or two pieces of silver in addition to their wages this month. In addition, after finishing the work at hand, the workshop begins to take a summer break until the summer is over, and then reopens. When the time comes, if you are willing to come back and continue to do it, after the start of construction, each person will be sealed with half a tael of silver.

The workers were overjoyed, and a few top-notch ones got a reward of two taels of silver at once, and they were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth. praised Xia Qingyun as a good owner who is difficult to find with a lantern, and all said that they will definitely come back to work after the summer, and they must leave a place for themselves.

On the first day of the holiday, the workers came to the workshop early in the morning, put all the tools and materials in order, and cleaned the room spotlessly inside and out. Xia Qingyun's father specially invited a chef from Dongchuan Town and made a sumptuous banquet for everyone, and Beixi Village was as lively as a festival.

Xia Qingyun's father and mother were happily eating and chatting with everyone at the banquet, when suddenly a half-old man ran over and shouted angrily, panting: "Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, go back and have a look!" More than a dozen wagons have come in front of your house, blocking the road! ”

Father and mother hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and found someone to go to the mountain to call Qingyun and them, and the two hurriedly walked to the house.

Far away, I saw more than a dozen black canopy carriages parked at the door of the house. Uncle Zheng and a group of people were standing next to the carriage talking, and when he saw the two coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Master Xia, Mrs., bother!" This is Hua Ling's uncle and uncles. ”
