Chapter 30 Plan for a rainy day
When you arrive at Baiyu Village, how can you not look at the second uncle? It's not that the second master is a village on the white fish village, just because of the mule given to Chuantao's master and apprentice, he should also go to see this old man who helped him.
Early the next morning, Chuan Tao walked to the second uncle's house after finishing his morning class. The second uncle's house is very large, and the population is also quite large, although only the youngest son of the three sons is old at home, but the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law and a large group of grandchildren still live in this courtyard, so naturally they can't have no place to live, not to mention that the eldest son and the second son are all businessmen, and there is no shortage of small money for those few houses.
Chuantao only went to the second uncle's residence that night, and found it by impression. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the yard, a black and shiny dog rushed to the front of him with a "whirl", and Chuan Tao instinctively kicked out, kicked the dog "whooping" and yelled, and rolled on the ground.
Hearing the barking of a dog inside, someone immediately ran out, it was Mao Hu, the youngest son of the second uncle, that is, the person who called Wu Lao to come over to see the second uncle that night. Mao Hu ran to the courtyard and saw his doorman's dog rolling on the ground, and he was very displeased: "Who is so bold?" Dare to ......" Before he finished speaking, he looked up and recognized it as Chuantao, and immediately stopped talking.
"Hehe, it's Mr. Wu's apprentice, why didn't you say hello when you came over, this dog is a little cold-mouthed, it should be beaten, it should be beaten~~" Mao Hu respected Mr. Wu very much, and naturally he didn't dare to slack off on his apprentice, and he accompanied him again and again.
"Hehe, uncle, I didn't mean to hurt your dog, it came too fast, and he was injured when he didn't stop for a while. I'll just get him some medicine in a while, he won't die. "As the saying goes: beat the dog and bully the master. Chuan Tao didn't dare to let the people of the second family's family think that he was disrespectful to people, so he explained a few more words.
"It's okay, it's okay, sit inside." Mao Hu took Chuantao into the hall and sat down, and then went to the inner room to invite the second master to come out to meet the guests, and then he went to order the subordinates to boil water and entertain the guests.
The second master came out of the back room, still holding the shiny tree cane in his hand, and before he sat down, he spoke first: "Chuan Tao Langzhong, you came alone?" How is your master? He sat down in his big chair.
"Master, the old man didn't come over this time, I went home alone. Passing by Baiyu Village, let's take a look at the second uncle. Chuan Tao handed over the tea he was holding in his hand. This is a tea I made outside, with a little care, please accept it and taste the freshness. ”
The second uncle's family has tea, which was bought by his son, who was doing business outside, to honor him, knowing that this is a Xihan thing. I took it in my hand and opened the lid and sniffed it. "Hah, you made it yourself? The aroma is much more refreshing than what my son bought, but it's a good thing. Thank you. ”
"No thanks, that's as it should be." Chuantao thought to himself, there are two businessmen in the second uncle's family, and there is a possibility of cooperation in the business of this tea number in the future.
"How's it going? Can you open a thatched cottage on your own? The second uncle asked with concern.
"When I came back this time, I passed by the county seat, and the county magistrate said that Duan Li would send me a plaque called 'Baicao Medical Hall', and I will use this name to open a thatched cottage. In addition, I brought some tea seeds to develop tea in my hometown, and in the future, I will open a tea farm and start a tea business. Chuantao said.
"Young and promising, the county magistrate personally inscribed the plaque, this thatched cottage is destined to be a booming business. Tea is so neat, isn't it? Can you bring some tea seeds back and open a tea house in a short time? "The second uncle naturally doesn't know much about tea.
"This thing is developing very quickly, and it can become a big slope in a year or two. Tomorrow you will be able to taste the tea I planted. Chuan Tao said.
"Haha, then I must try it. When the time comes, you open a tea account, I will let my son cooperate with you, they have a lot of business outside, and they will definitely make money by making tea. That's what Chuantao wants to hear the most.
"When the time comes, please help me more, this business is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and I will definitely rely on your family to help develop distribution outlets in other places, thank you in advance." It is much better for Chuantao to set this in advance than to wait for the time to find a market.
"Where do you live? Mao Sanjia? ”
"Hmm."
"Hehe, what's the Caixia girl of the Mao family? Like it or not? ”
"I like it."
"I'll give you a matchmaker at that time, are you willing to be the son-in-law of our Baiyu Village?"
"The second uncle smiled, I am willing, but this has to be decided by my parents, and I have to return to my parents first."
"Hmm. Chuantao, don't worry, as long as your parents agree, I will protect the media, and this matter will be secure. ”
"Hehe, if this can be done, I will definitely give you a courtesy."
"Haha, that's it."
This old and young, from big things to small things, from small things to marriage, although it is said to be idle, there is no lack of true feelings.
……
Mao Hu walked in and said to the second uncle: "Please invite the guests to dine, the kitchen is ready." ”
The second uncle stood up: "Chuantao, just have breakfast with me here, Mao San asked Mao Hu to talk about it, so that no one will wait for you." ”
"Okay." Chuantao stayed at the second uncle's house for breakfast. Mao Hu ran to the courtyard of Mao San's house and said loudly: "Third Brother Mao, Chuantao has eaten at the second uncle's house, don't wait." He ran back without answering.
……
Chuantao had breakfast at the second uncle's house, and when he returned to Mao's third house, he also had breakfast here, but he was waiting for Chuantao to come back, and the whole family didn't work in the field. Chuantao said to Mao San: "Uncle, I should also go home early to visit my parents, so I won't bother anymore." ”
"That's the case, I haven't been home for so long, and I understand how eager to return home. We won't stay longer. ”
helped Chuantao pack up and patted Chuantao on the shoulder. turned around and shouted: "Mao Cong, Caixia, go and send Brother Chuantao." ”
Mao Cong and Caixia obediently sent Chuantao on the road on behalf of the whole family. All the way to the pass.
Caixia waved her hand: "I'll come to my house again." ”
Chuantao nodded: "I'll go home and get the business done, and I'll come to your house." After speaking, he took out the sachet that he hung on his chest and shook it.
Chuantao left, and Caixia also walked home with her younger brother.
……
……
Haojiapo, few people use mules. Mules are good at transporting things, but pears are not. Therefore, on the Haojiapo side, there are more cattle and fewer mules. I saw the mules passing by on the main road at the door, and they were all the mounts of merchants, wealthy people, or dignitaries.
On this day, a young and handsome young man led a mule up the hillside, and the mule was still full of things, which was obviously not light. Although it was late autumn, the sun was not soft at all, and the people who climbed the slope were sweating profusely, and the mules who were struggling to go up were also sweating.
Chuantao has already seen his house.
It's been more than a year away from home, and it's still the same place, it hasn't changed.
As soon as he walked to the door, Chuan Tao shouted excitedly: "Dad, Mom, Taowa is back." ”
Peng ran out, still holding a rag in his hand and his apron still on his body. didn't care about anything, and hugged Chuantao.
Hao Jiayu was still holding a book in his left hand and a ring ruler in his right hand, so he ran over and was stunned, watching Peng hold Chuantao's head and not let go.
Chuantao was still holding the mule in his hand, so he had to say, "Mom, I'll tie the mule and come back." ”
Only then did Peng come back to his senses and let go of his son.
Chuantao went to find a place to tie the mule.
"Dad, come and help me carry it down." It's not impossible for a person to get two bags of tea seeds down, but he is afraid of hurting the mule. This mule traveled thousands of miles back and forth with Chuantao, and Chuantao already had a lot of affection for it.
After everything was done, Chuantao picked up his coat and entered the door of his house.
"Mom, boil some boiling water. I have tea here, and our family will drink tea every day in the future. ”
Peng went to boil water.
Chuan Tao took out tea, cloth, sugar, and a pair of military leather shoes from his coat.
These leather shoes were brought back by Chuanbo for Daddy to wear.
As soon as Chuantao came back, it was like a big magnet, firmly sucking Peng and Hao Jiayu by his side.
My son has been out for more than a year, and my father and mother don't know how many questions they want to ask. Chuan Tao told everything that had happened since he left home, except for those who had interacted with the guerrillas and fought in the war.
Hao Jiayu said: "In this way, you have not only learned medical skills, but also have martial arts, and also have the skill of growing tea and making tea." It's time for you to start a family. ”
Peng said: "I don't have anything to worry about when Bova is with his uncle, but the world is not peaceful, and I am afraid of war in my heart." "The mother of the son is worried in the rivers and lakes, and she pities the hearts of the parents of the world.
Chuantao said: "My martial arts have also roughly taught Chuanbo a lot, as long as it is not a big battle and a cannon, Chuanbo should be very safe." What's more, my uncle won't let Chuanbo go to danger casually, so you can rest assured. ”
……
Finally, Peng asked: "Then what Caixia girl wants to marry back and be a daughter-in-law?" ”
Chuan Tao blushed and said, "You are in charge of this matter." ”
Peng knew it in his heart, so he said: "His father, you can do it, if you want to propose, I will find someone." ”
"Let's talk about it in a few days, Chuantao has just arrived home, and he will do other things after he straightens things out." Hao Jiayu is the head of the family, so he is naturally more organized than others.
Chuan Tao finally took out the box of silver coins and said, "These five hundred oceans were given to me by the master." I plan to use it to buy a piece of land on the side of the road, build a house and open a grass hall, and as soon as the plaque from the county magistrate arrives, this grass medicine hall will be opened. ”
"Okay, it's a good thing to start a family, just do as you say." As soon as Dad said this, it meant that the matter was done.
"Those two hemp bags are full of tea seeds, and after thousands of miles, I have to plant all the tea in the field, and in the future, we will grow less grain and more tea, and people will not work so hard." Chuantao's second-step plan also has to be approved by his father.
"Can you guarantee that the tea will sell? You can do this with confidence, and you won't regret it when you are afraid. Hao Jiayu doesn't understand business at all, so he is a little worried.
"It's fine. As long as this tea is made, I am not afraid that no one will want it, but I am afraid that it will not grow fast enough and there will be no goods to sell. Chuantao told his father the idea of finding a point in the county through the relationship between the county magistrate, the uncle that counted a point, and the second uncle of Baiyuzhai who counted a point.
"Alright then, do as you say. I'm not familiar with this, so you have to worry about it yourself and try to succeed in one fell swoop. This is Hao Jiayu's final decision, and Chuantao's plans are on the right track.
