Since the beginning of spring, Nongwangnian has been busy producing new tea. The family was smiling, and the guys who helped were happy. They are all looking forward to the early shipment of this tea, and this income will naturally increase.

A few days later, Xu Caiyun and Ji Yuan came with a team of mules and horses.

Nong Jingtang shouted loudly outside the door: "Father, Uncle Xu, they are here." ”

When Nong Wangnian heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the house, and when he looked at it again, it could be described as "huge". This is the first time he has seen such a big formation. He was clearly a little excited.

The tea leaves have been packed and boxed, and the yard is full.

Nong Wangnian greeted him with a smile, greeted Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji, took a break, and arranged for his son to load the goods.

Nong Jingtang took a few guys to move the tea boxes, in and out, and after a while, the goods were ready.

Because he wanted to go out and go a long way, it was not appropriate to delay, Xu Caiyun said: "Brother, let's go first." ”

Nong Wangnian's voice was full of anticipation, and he blessed: "Brother, have a good trip!" ”

After speaking, Nong Wangnian stood outside the door with his wife and children to say goodbye, watching the mule and horse team disappear at the end of the mountain road little by little, and the family reluctantly returned to the house.

Xu Caiyun will enter the northwest along the Jingxiang Ancient Post Road, which is an ancient post road he used to take to do business.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, this Jingxiang region was in the heart of the country, and was known as "the throat of Wu Shu and the lips and teeth of Xiang Han". This shows the importance of its geographical location. The owner of Jingxiang Post Road, that is, the earliest founder, can be traced back to the original ancestors living in western Hubei and Jianghan regions.

Starting from Nanyi County, although the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, Xu Caiyun is familiar with the road, and it only took more than half a month to arrive at the ancient city of Qinyang, which was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Steward Zhang learned that Xu Caiyun's goods had arrived, and he stepped forward and said with a happy face: "Boss Xu has worked hard all the way!" ”

"Steward Zhang, wait a minute." Xu Caiyun said.

"Boss Xu, we can rest assured, how can we say that we are in a hurry." Steward Zhang told the truth.

After speaking, Steward Zhang hurriedly arranged the business processes of unloading, weighing, checking, and settling accounts to ensure that the number of goods was correct and the quality was good. Everything is fine.

So, Steward Zhang led Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji to drink tea and climbed the famous local Futian Tower. It is said to be drinking tea, but in fact, it is coming to pay the bill. Xu Caiyun has hinted at Mr. Ji.

This Futian Tower stands near the river, pure wooden structure, exquisite workmanship, bright lacquer color, but a bit of grandeur.

Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji walked side by side, and the two stepped into the door of the building almost at the same time, only to see that there were many tea customers in the front hall, so it was not lively. Going up to the second floor, Steward Zhang explained a few words to a principal, and then took them to a well-decorated tea room. On the bright side, it is a tea room, but it is actually the boss's office, which outsiders generally don't understand.

This boss's surname is Huang, Xu Caiyun has long known that Boss Huang is not authentic, bullying and dominating the market in the local area, often defaulting on debts, or deducting the catties of merchants for no reason, and will also take the opportunity to reduce prices. Many foreign businessmen can only turn a blind eye, fearing that more things are better than less things. After all, Boss Huang is a "ground tiger".

This time, Xu Caiyun took Mr. Ji with him, just in case. This is, the two of them entered the tea room, and at first glance, Boss Huang looked like a bookkeeper, who was looking down there and picking up the abacus beads, and when he saw someone coming, he didn't even raise his head, and said a little arrogantly: "You are from Nanyi County, it's still the old rule, after the scales, settle the accounts, and settle the accounts next time." ”

This tone obviously means that I have received your goods, and as for the checkout, I will talk about it next time.

"We have other things to do, we want to settle the bill today, please ask the boss to be accommodating." Mr. Ji said.

"That can't be." Boss Huang refused, and after speaking, he got up and left, without looking back.

Mr. Ji stepped forward and blocked Boss Huang's way: "Please wait." ”

Boss Huang was intercepted and stopped there.

At this moment, a figure pressed over from behind him, and shouted, "What a bold man, who are you?" ”

It turned out that the man rushed out of Boss Huang's back room.

Mr. Ji said like iron: "I am from Nanyi County. ”

The man said sharply, "This is my master, why should you be wild here?" ”

"The goods have been received, the accounts have been cleared, why don't you settle the bill today?" Mr. Ji said confidently, without showing weakness.

At this time, Boss Huang took the opportunity to slip away in a hurry, but Mr. Ji used his body to block and not let him go.

Mr. Ji is tall and mighty, like a door panel blocking it, and Boss Huang still can't get out.

I can't help but say that the man stepped forward and hit Mr. Ji with a punch, Mr. Ji was already on guard, flashed in an instant, dodged the punch, and took advantage of the situation to use the ancestral chain of palms to slam over, knocking the man to the ground and holding him down.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Boss Huang relented: "Let go, let go, there is something to say." ”

At this time, Xu Caiyun spoke: "Okay, Boss Huang, settle our accounts now." ”

Boss Huang couldn't deny it, so he had to say, "Okay, okay, settle the bill now." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Ji let go.

The man glared at him a few times and said viciously, "You wait and see." ”

Mr. Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him, and now the checkout is important. Subsequently, although Boss Huang was unwilling, he obediently settled the account, and there was no good color on his face.

After settling the account and coming downstairs, Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji hurried to the tea shop with a few accompanying men and found a familiar inn to live in. After Xu Caiyun prepared to repair for a day, he returned to Nanyi County.

Since beating Xu Caiyun and leaving, Nong Wangnian is like looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to seeing his good brother Xu Caiyun as soon as possible.

When he sat alone, his thoughts always drifted unnaturally into the distance, and he was both worried about the tea leaves, and a little worried, afraid that something would go wrong. After all, this is the first time he has done such a large batch of tea business. Therefore, sometimes he is really restless, and the heart that is holding on will go up and down.

In this moment, Xu Caiyun and they have been gone for a while. Nongwang estimated that it was time to return.

Therefore, when Nong Wangnian is fine, he will go to the ancient post road not far from his home, and sometimes stand on the mountain beam and look into the distance. In doing so, his heart seems to be more at ease.

A month and a half later, Xu Caiyun appeared at Nong Wangnian's house in a glorious manner.

When Nong Wangnian saw Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The two of you have worked hard all the way!" ”

Xu Caiyun smiled and said, "Brother, how are you doing?" I'm here to check out. ”

Nong Wangnian looked at his dusty appearance, a little distressed, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, drink tea first, settle the bill, and talk about it later." ”

"No, check out first, then drink tea."

After speaking, Xu Caiyun settled the accounts one by one, and after figuring it out, he asked Nong Wangnian to check: "You can do the math carefully and see if there is any discrepancy in the amount." ”

Nong Wangnian said, "Okay. ”

He took the bill, carefully checked it, and after calculating it, the account was accurate, and then he said with a smile: "Brother, the account is good, and the amount is also correct." ”

Xu Caiyun said: "That's good." ”

After speaking, Xu Caiyun hurriedly counted the silver, and after counting, he handed over the silver of Baihuahua to Nong Wangnian and said, "Brother, you can count the amount again." ”

Nong Wangnian counted them one by one attentively and said, "Brother, the amount of silver is right. ”

Xu Caiyun smiled and said, "Brother, let's drink tea again." ”

Nong Wangnian said repeatedly, "Good, good." ”

The two of them smiled knowingly, and Mr. Ji was also happy.

A pot of fine hair tips had already been brewed, and Nong Jingtang hurriedly poured tea on the side, one cup in front of each person, and shouted sweetly: "Please uncle drink tea!" ”

Nong Wangnian said: "This road is quite smooth. ”

Xu Caiyun said slowly: "It's okay on the road, but when you check out, it's a little troublesome." ”

Nong Wangnian let out an "oh", and then said, "Then you are not in danger!" ”

Xu Caiyun looked at Mr. Ji and said, "That guy wanted to repay the debt, and was settled by our brother Ji." ”

Nong Wangnian looked at Mr. Ji and said with a kind of respect: "Mr. Ji has worked hard!" ”

Mr. Ji smiled faintly: "It's nothing, aren't we drinking tea together again now?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Nong Wangnian said happily: "Yes, then let's drink tea." ”

While sipping tea and chatting about interesting things along the way, the hearty laughter flew out of the farmhouse and flew to the verdant tea mountain behind the house.

This successful cooperation will be destined for Nong Wangnian and Xu Caiyun to go further.

Seeing that it was not too early, Xu Caiyun and Mr. Ji got up to say goodbye.

This is the first time that Nong Wangnian has been doing tea business, and with a heavy amount of silver, it is really a unique taste in my heart.
