The harvest of tea leaves is very seasonal.

Since the first tea harvest that day, Caixia and Peng have taken on most of the tea picking work, while Chuantao has concentrated on making dry tea and preserving it properly. Fortunately, Chuantao had a plan to do things, and when he was making wedding furniture, he asked the carpenter master to make a batch of wooden barrels, which now came in handy - the finished tea was sealed in wooden barrels.

Of course, the affairs of the Baicao Medical Hall have not been relaxed, as long as a patient arrives, Chuan Tao will immediately rush to the hospital.

After being so busy for more than half a month, the spring tea was finally taken care of.

Chuantao looked at the dozens of tea barrels neatly placed on the second floor of the medical hall, and was thinking about what channel this first batch of goods should be turned into real money. So I thought of Mao Cong and the second uncle. With the help of ready-made channels, the contradiction between the medical hall and the tea can be solved, which is nothing more than the need to pay some commissions.

Mao Cong has been studying and reading in the Hao Family School, which is the task assigned to him by Chuantao, Chuantao said: "Literacy is the first priority, and if you want to do business with me, whether it is a medical hall or a tea merchant, you can't do it if you can't read and write." Mao Cong had no intention of studying and going to school, but Chuan Tao was also interested in saying this, and he seriously read and wrote with Uncle Hao, and actually mastered a lot of knowledge in just a few months, and gradually became literate, and he also talked about etiquette and rules when he spoke and did things.

Caixia looked at the significant changes in her younger brother in the past few months, and quietly said to Chuantao: "On behalf of Maojiazhai, I thank you well, hehe~~~~."

“？ , what kind of thanksgiving? ”

"Do your laundry and cook for you."

"That's not enough."

"Bear birth to you children."

"Hah, then I'll see how you perform. Haha~~~~~~~~"

……

Chuantao decided to take the tea bucket and take a trip to Baiyu Village. Of course, Mao Cong and Caixia also went back to their hometown together.

This time, the mule carried the tea leaves, and Caixia followed on foot. It is not difficult for the girl in the mountains to walk a little mountain road, it is just to spend more time.

On the way, Chuantao said to Mao Cong: "This time, I will hand over the tea to the second uncle to contact, but you have to accompany the goods on my behalf and bring the payment back safely, do you know?" ”

Mao Cong asked: "How much money is there, can I bring it?" ”

Chuantao told Mao Cong: "I will definitely not let you do this alone, I will arrange it." But after arriving at Baiyu Village, you are the only one who will return to Baicao Medical Hall, are you afraid? ”

Mao Cong patted his little chest: "I'm afraid to enter the city, and I won't do business, but I can promise you that I will do it well when I run in this mountain." ”

"The business is arranged by the second uncle to do it by your uncle and second uncle of the Mao family, and your task is to follow and learn. They will also send someone to accompany you to Baiyu Village, understand? Chuantao made the plan more specific.

Mao Cong nodded.

"After going out with the eldest uncle and the second uncle, you must learn some business methods, rules and etiquette, and don't let others underestimate our mountain people. In the future, our business will get bigger and bigger, so you will be required to become more and more capable, so learn hard. Chuantao has high hopes for the Mao Cong brothers.

Mao Cong also nodded seriously.

……

Sure enough, walking was much slower than riding a horse, and when it was almost dark, I arrived at Baiyu Village.

It's been a few months, and the three Mao families have reunited for the first time, not only a pair of children have arrived, but also this beloved son-in-law has also come, so you must make a few dishes at home to have fun. With the help of Caixia, they finally made a big table of dishes, Mao Cong brought the wine jug again, and the family humbled me, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and happily enjoyed the joy of family.

During the banquet, Mao Cong's performance was no longer as naïve as it was back then, and he became polite and polite, and he looked at his father and mother with joy.

"This is all thanks to Chuantao, who has cultivated a promising offspring for my Mao family." Mao San spit out the truth after drinking and praised his son-in-law.

"Mao's family is Caixia's maiden family, and it is also my home, so my parents don't have to be so polite. What's more, Mao Cong is my brother, and it is my duty to do something to my brother. No matter how polite you are, I'm really embarrassed. Chuantao didn't know if he blushed after drinking, or if he was embarrassed to be praised and blushed, but he blushed anyway.

"Good, good. This is your home, Mao Cong is your brother, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, haha~~Drink~~~~" Mao San raised his wine glass again and drank it all.

Mao Cong and Chuantao only took a bite.

After the meal, Chuantao took Mao Cong to the second uncle's house. When the dog saw Chuantao coming in, he hid far away with his tail between his legs, and never came to attack again.

"Second uncle, Chuantao came to pay a visit." Chuantao said hello in the courtyard.

"Haha, Chuantao is here, come in and sit." The second uncle didn't see anyone and heard his voice first.

Chuantao was still at the door, and he saw the second uncle's crutches.

"You sit down quickly, how dare I, a junior, go to meet you?" Chuantao hurriedly took a step, supported the second uncle, and helped the second uncle to the chair and sat down.

Chuan Tao took a bucket of new tea and put it on the coffee table next to the second uncle: "This is the new tea I made this year, please taste it." ”

"Haha, I'm not a little blessed, this grandson-in-law is not wrong. The new tea that just came out was actually delivered to me first, haha~~"

The second uncle was so happy that he looked at the door and shouted, "Mao Hu's family, boil some boiling water to make tea." ”

"I came here this time for this tea, first, there are few goods, it is inconvenient to go out for a trip, and secondly, I want Mao Cong to learn some basic methods of doing business, and I will take care of this business for me in the future. So I brought more than 20 barrels of tea, and I wanted to ask the uncle and uncle of the second uncle's family to help me and take the twenty percent of the payment as a reward. Chuantao and the second uncle did not distinguish each other, and directly stated the purpose of this trip.

"As I said last time, it's not a problem. Even if you help for nothing, you are not an outsider. Besides, the remuneration of 20% of the payment is already very high, how can it not be done? "The second uncle is also hearty and temperamental, and he has a very good impression of Chuantao, so this matter is naturally easy to say.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to the eldest and second uncles. Mao Cong went out with them and came back with them. My brother is too young to handle this alone. From here to my Hao Jiapo, he is no problem alone. ”

"Well, if you do this properly, then I will accept it, don't worry, in three days, they will come back to pick up the goods, at most half a month, Mao Cong can bring you the money." Why did the second master even calculate the time so clearly, Chuan Tao couldn't figure it out, and there was no need to figure it out.

"Time, business matters don't have to be so rushed, anyway, this matter depends on the eldest and second uncles." Chuantao was so decided.

"Caixia is also back, I stayed with her at her mother's house for two days, and as soon as the eldest and second uncle came back, I asked Mao Cong to send the goods over. It's late, you rest, and we take our leave. Chuantao stood up, and Mao Cong followed.

"The water hasn't even boiled, I'm still waiting to try something new, are you in such a hurry?" The second uncle wants to stay and sit for more.

"We've all been on the road for the day, go back and wash up and rest, and come back to see you tomorrow. You taste the tea slowly, and we take our leave. ”

Chuantao led Mao Cong to the door.

"Good, good. I'll come over tomorrow when I have time. The voice of the second master in the house was still ringing.

In fact, Chuantao himself didn't feel hard, but he knew in his heart that the Caixia sisters and brothers must have worked hard.

Go home and wash up and go to sleep.

……

The next day, Chuantao did morning exercises, had breakfast, and felt very bored, so he really ran to the second uncle's side to sit down, leaving Sister Caixia to talk to the second elder at home.

When Chuantao entered the door, the second uncle was sitting in the hall and tasting the new tea sent by Chuantao. Seeing Chuantao coming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come and sit, your tea is really good, you can have a cup too." ”

"Okay." Chuan Tao sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

"Personally, I feel that the soil in this mountain is very good, and the tea is more fragrant. That's why I want to gradually expand the tea plantation, preferably to a certain scale, and make it a specialty of the mountains. Then the business will be bigger. Chuan Tao told the second master about the prospect of the plan.

The second uncle looked at Chuantao in a daze: "Your kid is not small-hearted, if it can really develop into a specialty of one party, then tea will make this party rich." It's a good idea, but it's going to take years. ”

Chuan Tao smiled: "It doesn't take many years, you can develop a lot in three or five years." I have a way to do this. ”

"Okay, no matter what you do. I support! It's best for us to get a piece of this village, then I don't need you to send it all the way to drink tea in the future, haha~~~~" The second uncle is good at this, and he is afraid of trouble to send tea.

Chuantao thought for a while and said, "I still have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." ”

The second uncle hurriedly said, "You're out of sight, aren't you?" If you have something to say directly in front of me, what should you not say? Speak! ”

"Okay, then I'll say. I would like to organize a group of young people to train in martial arts and strengthen their bodies, so that it will be beneficial to deal with emergencies. I have nothing to do here for the past two days, so I just want to find something like this to pass the time. Chuan Tao said his thoughts.

"You mean to teach young people to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies in order to achieve the goal of defending their families and the country, right? It's not that you have this idea, we have also had it, but we have to find a master to practice martial arts, not to say that we can't afford to find it, even if we want to find it, we can't find it. "The second is in the master said.

"This is easy to do, although Chuantao is not a martial arts master, but I still know the basic martial arts, no need to invite a master outside, I will teach it." Chuantao said with certainty.

"Chuantao, if that's the case, I really have to thank you. Our Mao family has always relied on a persistent belief and a spirit of not being afraid of power to lay down this land of life, and there is no foundation for martial arts at all. Now that you are willing to teach, it is really a blessing for our Mao family. The second uncle was quite emotional.

"I'll teach you some basic introductory kung fu first, and then choose excellent people and take turns to strengthen them in my Baicao Medical Hall." Chuan Tao said the plan.

"I'll arrange the people, and you have the final say on how you teach the Fa. I'll do it in a moment, and I'll hand them over to you, and you'll be up to you. "The second master completely delegated power to Chuantao and did not have reservations.

Chuantao nodded cautiously.
