Later generations drink tea, often distinguished by the rain before the Ming Dynasty, but this is the special sè of the Jiangnan tea production area, for the year when Shu tea is popular now, as early as before the Qingming Dynasty, the temperature has risen, and the tea farmers in Shu have begun the busiest tea picking of the year. There is no virgin with the fragrance of tea leaves, and some are just the hard work of dozens of people picking tea in hundreds of acres of tea gardens in tea gardens.

Especially for Peng Hai's thirteen customers, although all the tea picked this year is purchased by the government, they have no pricing power, everything is up to the tea merchants, and sometimes the price will be lowered in the harvest year, and it is even more common to pick and choose. Now that Du Shiyi represents the Chengdu County Party and collects all of them, they can concentrate all their jīng gods on tea picking. When the hardest but also the most rewarding rìzi of the year finally came to an end, the whole family went into battle together, Peng Hai, who was almost tired and broken, slapped his shoulders hard, and his face showed indescribable joy.

"Uncle Peng, this year's fresh tea harvest is more than one percent more than in previous years, and the fresh tea harvested on one acre of land is one hundred and twenty catties" Zhou Jian was the young student who performed the most fiercely when Du Shiyi tried the case in public. His father and Peng Hai and others came to Shuzhong to escape the heavy servitude, and worked hard to reclaim this tea garden, but then died early due to overwork, so even for the hard work of his deceased father, he refused to lose this place.

At this moment, he rushed to Peng Hai and sat down, and said happily: "Du Mingfu is really a good official, and he also sent a deposit in advance, otherwise this year's harvest is so good, and it will be a big loss if it can't be picked in time, Uncle Peng, if so, let's let the government collect tea."

"Silly boy, do you think that everyone in charge of officials doesn't love money like Du Mingfu?" Peng Hai is an elder, and slapped Zhou Jian on the head angrily, seeing that he was covering his head thoughtfully, he said earnestly, "Du Mingfu is from a high-ranking family, also known all over the world, and has his own way, I heard that these teas have been collected by the Yunshan Tea Shop who presided over the water conservancy project, so the government also has surplus money, and these can fill the part of the pond and repair the canal, and the rest can also make up for the rest of the government's expenses, so now Chengdu County Party is worshiped like a god to Du Mingfu." ”

"Ahh

"A penny is hard to beat a hero, why do you think Du Mingfu wants to say three years? Three years should be his term of office, and after three years, if our tea garden is still under the name of the government, God knows if the next county magistrate will be directly returned to the government because of greed for our tea garden? As soon as the words fell, Peng Hai saw that Zhou Jiandeng's face was like earth, so he nodded with a smile and said, "So, Du Mingfu is really discerning, and has solved a catastrophe for us This chūn tea harvest, let the tea makers take care of themselves, and go back and send two packs of the most haode buds to Du Mingfu, which is also our mind......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a boy with a drooping hair rushing over, and before he had time to stand firmly, he shouted: "Grandpa Peng, Uncle Zhou, Zhang Dascar came with someone, it seems to be ...... It seems to be the Du Ming Mansion from before."

Peng Hai and Zhou Jian glanced at each other and were taken aback at the same time. However, there was no time to think about it at this time, Peng Hai ordered someone to quickly notify the families, and he took Zhou Jian out quickly. Seeing that the village in Zhangjia Village had already taken Du Shiyi into the tea garden, Peng Hai thought about Du Shiyi's intention, while Zhou Jian was very contemptuous of Zhang Dascar.

If it weren't for the fact that he had accepted Li Tianluo's bribe, how could the case have reached such a point at that time? He suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Bao'er looking around behind Du Shiyi, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart. The entire Zhangjia Village has received so much favor and help, but this child is still the most upright and outspoken.

"Ming Gong came from afar, too late to greet ......"

Without waiting for Peng Hai to finish speaking, Du Shiyi looked at the bright green tea plantation, then smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to see, I don't need so much courtesy." Look at this jiashi, now your fresh tea here should have been picked? ”

"Yes, but it was tight, and although everyone was in battle, in order to be in a hurry, I still asked a lot of people to help. If it weren't for the fact that Ming Gong actually ordered someone to send a deposit, I'm afraid it would be too late. Peng Hai bowed down and thanked him as he spoke, "Ming Gong is really grateful for our kindness, but I don't know how to repay it." I also told people that the most haode fresh tea was selected, and it was concocted and sent to Ming Gong. ”

"I'll see you wait for your kindness." Du Shiyi stopped Peng Hai's persuasion, and said with a smile, "I will accept things with a smile, but just give me fresh tea directly, and you don't need to concoct it." Although I am a shallow skill, I still know some tea making methods. ”

Seeing Du Shiyi say this, Peng Haifang was relieved, and said for a while: "I almost forgot that an elegant person like Ming Gong prefers to buy fresh tea and steam it at home." It's just that Chang'an and Luoyang are far away from Shuzhong, and it is not easy to preserve fresh tea. ”

"You're right, so generally the people in Beijing buy tea that has already been ripe." Du Shiyi nodded, seeing that other customers had also rushed out one after another, but after saluting, they didn't dare to interject rashly. After he bowed his head, he suddenly asked, "Among you, are there any who can read?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. After a long while, Peng Haifang smiled bitterly and said: "There are no real readers of the history of the scriptures, but the old ones all know a few words, and the younger generation has also read two books." My ancestors were defeated in the Sui period, and although they don't dare to think about any scientific tributes now, they are not easy to be fooled when they recognize two words, so they often warn people to recognize a few words...... Of course, if there is no discerning parent official like Ming Gong, it will not be of much use. ”

Du Shiyi's words caused Peng Hai to be so sentimental, he saw that most of the people were stout and completely peasant, and the feeling of the rise and fall of the family came spontaneously, but he let go of it for a while. He nodded and motioned for Chen Bao'er to step forward, then pointed to the person and said, "This is Bao'er, I named him Ji Zhen, you should all know him." ”

"Of course I know, if it wasn't for Bao'er's righteous insistence, that Li Tianluo would have pitted the tea garden that dozens of of us have worked so hard to cultivate" Zhou Jian said bluntly, but his eyes were glancing at Zhang Da Scar, and seeing that he turned his head unnaturally, he snorted softly in his mouth.

"Hello uncles." Chen Bao'er bowed her hand obediently, stood behind Du Shiyi again, and didn't speak again.

Du Shiyi continued: "I came today just for the tea thing. Nowadays, Shu tea is gradually out of Shuzhong, and the wind of drinking tea in Beijing and Beijing is gradually prevailing, however, the quality of tea is all in the word-of-mouth evaluation, although there is exquisiteness, but in the end it is not systematic. And the method of making tea, although the fresh tea that has just been picked can be preserved and sent to the two capitals, but the taste is different. I happen to be a tea lover, before in the two capitals also often drink Shu tea, so there are some experience, a few days ago in my spare time, Suo xìng wrote a volume of "The Book of Tea", although it is not finished, but the method of making tea, you may wish to refer to the details. ”

Reading is a common thing, but for Peng Hai and others who have long been ruined, and even the place of origin where they have lived for generations has been abandoned, and they have left their hometown to come to Shuzhong, Du Shiyi's words not only look up to them, but also after understanding the meaning, Peng Hai and several other elders can't help but have their eyes shining. Peng Hai didn't even want to think about it, so he stepped forward to bow down, but was helped up by Chen Baoer.

"Bao'er will leave a few rì to explain to you those obscure places." Du Shiyi smiled slightly, and then said to Chen Bao'er, "You have also seen me make tea before, and the tea scripture is very clear, you can explain it according to the law." However, because each has its own advantages, my method may not be liked by everyone, but there is no need to be too much, after frying one or twenty catties, first send it to the Yunshan Tea Shop, so that the shopkeepers who are used to seeing good tea will taste it

"Yes yes yes ......"

Cui Jaw, who also came with him today, listened and watched, and felt more and more that he had been studying at home behind closed doors for so many years, and he was not as good as studying with Du Shiyi in the county party for half a year. Thinking of Du Shiyi's rectification of the county school after the Chinese New Year, those who do not learn and have no skills are clear, and the atmosphere in the school is very good for a while, and all the children of everyone are enrolled, and he is even more emotional.

Therefore, when Du Shiyi stayed here for half an hour, and returned to Chengdu with two catties of fresh tea sent by Peng Hai and others, he suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Since Ming Gong has this method, why did he tell them?" Wouldn't it be more profitable to collect fresh tea and make it yourself? ”

"Hehe" Du Shiyi glanced sideways at Cui Jaw, who was still a little childish, and then said lightly, "Compete with the people for profit, then there is no need." ”

He saw Cui Jaw's respect in his eyes, but he didn't explain it. Although his current accumulation is not as good as Wang Yuanbao, it is already a lot, so he doesn't need to be so dazzling. As for doing business, Wang Rong, who is more proficient than him, will arrange it, and he still calmly becomes his official, at most it is more stable to implement some elegant pen, ink, paper and inkstone. What's more, although Shu tea is all the rage now, in terms of tenderness and quality, it will be difficult to reach Jiangnan in the future.

And competing with the people for profit is indeed a taboo, not to mention, he is now an official in Chengdu, but tea is so popular, does he have to consider another thing?

As soon as he returned to the county office, Du Shiyi learned that a guest had come to worship, and the other party claimed to be his fellow Kewei Shishilang, who was now waiting in the study. Du Shiyi was overjoyed, and when he walked quickly to the study and pushed the door open, he said, "Wei Fourteen, you're here."

After half a year, Wei Liben was still sitting on his feet and looking at a book leisurely, and heard someone pushing the door in and the old god was there, but when he heard Du Shiyi's words, he immediately threw down the book with a snap, and stood up with a face full of anger.

"For you a word, as a result, there was a lot of noise in my house, if it weren't for Yu Wenrong to speak, I would almost not be able to make the trip, my family Niang couldn't help but scold you twice, she didn't count if she went out of Beijing, but she still had to pull people into the water, she didn't know that I was suffocating to death in Chang'an, but you were not at ease outside, Yu Wenrong didn't take you as a benchmark to fight in the ring with Zhang Xiangguo"
