Chapter 250: Tea Tasting
It's not that Prince Jian still has Ning Hua in mind, but the Guerjia clan's idea.
It should be said that Ning Hua's luck is still good, after Ning Hua's people arrived in Jiangnan, they paid attention to some tea gardens under the leadership of the Jiangnan Seven Elder Brothers.
Ninghua's goal is that the price should be more appropriate, in fact, like Jiangnan, some good tea gardens have long been an industry under the name of some families.
Therefore, it is really difficult to buy tea gardens with high yield and good quality.
However, when people's luck comes, it really can't be stopped.
In the neighboring county where Ninghua's original tea garden is located, there is a very good tea garden, the area is three times that of Ninghua tea garden, but the output is four times as much, and the variety of tea is relatively high.
The tea garden, in the former Ming Dynasty, was quite famous in the state capital, and later the Qing soldiers went south and was resold at a low price by the owner's family.
After selling a few lots, not only is the output getting less and less, but the taste of the roasted tea is much worse than the previous taste.
As a result, the customers who used to buy from this tea plantation have also run away.
At this time, to be exact, ten years ago, the original owner of the family repurchased this tea garden, and after two or three years of adjustment and rectification, it brought back many old customers.
It is said that people have a set of secret recipes for roasting tea in their hands, tea should be good, not only the planting of water and soil has a very important relationship, the time of picking, the person who picked, to the later roasted tea, especially the roasted tea, has a particularly big relationship, therefore, in less than five years, the sales of the tea garden will be opened.
The head of the tea garden has two daughters and a son. The two daughters were born smart, especially smart, but only the son, I don't know if it's because of the doting relationship between the old people in the family or what, it's not a prostitution or a gamble.
Although the head of the family hated his son's failure, he was too busy with business and could not discipline him, and his wife and mother were blindly spoiled, so the only son was going farther and farther on the road of prostitution and gambling.
The year before last. The head of the family married the eldest daughter to a wealthy family. In the eyes of many, this marriage can be described as a talented man and a woman, and it is very compatible.
However, it also brought disaster to other families.
The father had always been a greedy man. For more than ten years, I have been taking the exam for myself. It's still just a show, and I'm very dissatisfied. Although his son passed the exam, however, people think. Father and son could have gone one step further.
The father wanted to use some silver to make some money, but after all, his family was limited, and he really couldn't take out too much silver.
The people put the idea on the daughter-in-law's dowry.
The eldest daughter of the original owner of the tea garden also had a good idea, and after finding out, she naturally refused with righteous words, and also persuaded her husband to let him calm down and study down-to-earth.
Although that Xiucai wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, the son of the other family was quite obedient and had the right idea, so the crooked idea of the Xiucai did not succeed.
That Xiucai is not the kind of person who is depressed, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law was not easy to get started, he hit the idea of his younger brother.
The younger brother was afraid that he would overplay in his county, so he often played across the county, so he and Xiucai played friendship after coming and going.
Others will lie to him, but his younger brother thinks that he is a showman, and he is his sister's father-in-law, and he is his own person, so he will definitely not harm him, so he often plays with others.
And when I went home and said to my mother and grandmother, the talented master was teaching him to read, what a good excuse, when my mother and grandmother heard that their son and grandson were going to improve, they naturally agreed with it, and in the silver, it would not be short of his expenses.
It should be said that Xiucai did get a lot of cheap on others, not only did he have to drink the wine for free, but they also helped him provide him with some financial support, and the next time Xiucai entered the examination room, and went further, it was appropriate.
At this time, people's tea plantations can be said to be so good that business is bursting, which naturally arouses the jealousy of some people.
Seeing that the master couldn't do anything, but his son was an easy one, they asked Na Xiucai to help and designed an immortal jump for his son.
When someone with a heart targets an unintentional person, and the son of the other person is really not angry, therefore, in order to save the son, the head of the family can be said to have spent a lot of money.
And when the matter was investigated, the son of the man naturally felt guilty about the Yue family and came to make amends, and the head of the family also knew that the matter was done by the father and had little to do with the son-in-law, so he also comforted the son-in-law a few words.
However, knowing whether it was bad luck or something, the son-in-law encountered a landslide and died unexpectedly when he was returning home.
At this time, Na Xiucai vented all his anger on his daughter-in-law, thinking that your mother's family has so much silver, but it is just a small cost, so what, it will not be many days before you can earn it back.
But you killed your only son, and died, and divorced your daughter-in-law in place of him.
Although the daughter-in-law was from a merchant family, she was also familiar with the precepts of women, so she committed suicide on the way back from her husband's house.
The master was struck and fell ill in bed, and died within a month.
If it were someone else who had a good future, and his father and sister passed away because of his own affairs, he would naturally cheer up and pick up the burden of the family.
But that unfilial son is a unclear brain, but he plans to sell the tea garden, and he lives happily for a few years.
People's tea gardens produce well, and the roasted tea masters are good, so naturally someone will come to ask for the price, including someone sent by Ninghua.
Fortunately, although the wife of the family spoils her son, her head is also clear, knowing that if she hands over the family business to her son, her deceased husband's wish will also be ruined.
If there were no unsuccessful son, people would really not be reduced to selling tea plantations.
It's a pity that there are thousands of precautions, and the family thief is difficult to prevent, and the son actually has a demon moth again.
This blow can be said to have been caused, without the power of the original head of the family to turn the tide, it can be said that the people fell quickly.
At this time, the second daughter of the family jumped out.
The second daughter of the family is different from the eldest daughter, because the head of the family knows that the son is not talented, therefore, over the years, he has been cultivating his daughter, and he plans that if the son is really not successful, he can also find a son-in-law to help take care of the housework when the time comes.
Although his daughter is still a little short of his goal, at least she has some ability.
Among the many buyers, the price sent by Ninghua was not high, but fortunately, the daughter-in-law who was the housekeeper who was taking care of the tea garden for Ninghua was an old acquaintance with the nurse of the second daughter.
Therefore, the nurse was allowed to do the work of threading the needle.
It should be said that the daughter did not want to sell the tea garden that time, after all, it was her father's hard work, but if she didn't sell it, her brother's life might not be saved, and secondly, the tea garden might not be saved.
And the people sent by Ninghua gave the second daughter the condition that we can take over all the people in the tea garden, including the four of your ancestors and grandchildren, as for the equity, you can keep a quarter, and there will be dividends every year, and in terms of management and management, it is still up to you to decide, however, we will send someone to assist from the side.
What we offer you is to settle this matter, to get your brother out of prison, and to provide some protection locally.
It should be said that among the many buyers, the conditions given by Ninghua's steward are not the most generous, but Ninghua is the only one who agrees that they will retain part of the equity, and agree that you will operate independently, and we will assist you.
In addition, there is a shining prince halo above people's heads.
Therefore, the second daughter of the family explained to her grandmother and mother, and transferred three of the four shares of the tea garden to Ning Hua.
As for the elder brother, he was naturally redeemed, but that time the girl was also a courageous person, and after discussing it with the steward of Steward Zheng, she asked the elder brother to sell himself as a slave to the seventh elder brother.
As for whether to go back to the capital on an errand or in Jiangnan, it depends on what people mean.
When Ning Hua received the letter, he didn't have much interest in that gentleman, just send people, just deal with it, but he was quite interested in that second daughter.
So she instructed to go down and let the stewards give her some convenience, and the business ideas of the tea garden should be as good as possible according to others.
After all, it is someone's tea garden, and they won't maliciously destroy it.
In the past, Ninghua also tasted the tea produced in the tea garden, and it was indeed much better than his own, but because the price was relatively expensive, it was not included in the price list of the tea house.
However, now because it is produced by home, no matter what, it is necessary to make a reputation, so I gave some to the concubines in the palace, such as Concubine De and Concubine Cheng, and also sent some tastings to the remaining Fujin.
The remaining few catties of tea were sent to the tea house for those guests to taste.
Ning Hua was actually selfish when he was sent to the palace.
Because the tea garden produces, in addition to the common green tea, there are also tea leaves that are especially suitable for women to drink.
This is different from simple rose tea and jasmine tea.
It is said that these newly made teas were conceived by the woman this time.
Relatively speaking, the taste of these newly made flower teas is the most inferior among those teas, but it is more suitable for women's taste.
Ning Hua was thinking at that time, and gave it to the ladies in the palace to drink, in case anyone likes it, how good it would be to help give it a name, but after waiting for more than ten days, there was no response from the palace, including his mother-in-law Cheng Concubine.
So, Ning Hua was depressed, why don't you give us any face? What's the matter, it's also our mother-in-law!!
However, if you don't cooperate, then let's figure it out ourselves, the solution is our own!
Since Ning Hua heard about Prince Jane's auction in Rehe, and Brother Jiu also imitated it, he had confidence in his own idea.
posted a post and invited the top ten talented women in the capital to come to the teahouse to taste tea. (To be continued......)
