The leading man and a few men next to him discussed a few words in a low voice, but Mei Xiaotong listened to them.

"Do you think this talented lady is right?"

"What's not to do? Originally, this wild tea forest was not ours, but it was another businessman, who came to inquire about the news, and sent someone to pick it up and sell it for money, and we were still in the dark! ”

"This wild thing, can we still stop others? I looked at the talented lady and made it clear! People just take a fancy to our wild tea, thinking that if this wild tea can really be sold, they will get some branches and go back to see if they can be inserted. ”

"I think it's also, what can we do in the deep mountains and old forests to make people show off their talents? People are talented women, if they really want to buy the wild tea forest behind us, what else can we do? Even if we can't learn the craft of roasting tea, we can add an entry to our family every year, and it's better than in previous years, isn't it? ”

"I said Brother Xiaoshan, why do you shrink back when you see good things, this is not like you!"

"Not really! This is a great thing, what are we waiting for? Roll up your sleeves, don't be cowardly, just do it! ”

……

After a while, the man in the lead, named Xiaoshan, turned his head.

"Then it's decided!"

Mei Xiaotong also breathed a sigh of relief, she wanted to get a tea garden, but in fact, she quietly took a few branches from the wild tea forest, and she would definitely not be discovered, even if she did, it would be nothing.

She is not short of money now, let alone time, why should she be sneaky? It's better to say it generously, but it's fine.

And looking at the hunters in Yingzigou, they are quite honest, and they don't have so many eyes and ambitions, and they don't know whether it's good or bad for them to have such a wild tea forest.

However, at this moment, it is certainly not a bad thing to improve their lives!

"That's fine! When the big boss who buys the tea arrives, the three of us will sign a deed, and we will follow the deed in the future

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. 00 Recommendation:

Do it, and don't worry about someone going back! Mei Xiaotong reassured these hunters to eat.

The hunters really relaxed a lot, and their eyes were much gentler when they looked at Mei Xiaotong.

It just so happened that the women cooked the meal and brought it out, and there were about 30 people around the table at once, and they were eating happily around the table.

Even Mei Xiaotong, although she is still keeping filial piety, has been driven by this atmosphere to eat a bowl of rice with mushroom soup.

When it was time to rest at night, Yang Zhaodi's man, Li Dashan.

He is also a person who understands etiquette, and knows that it is inconvenient to live in the cave, so he planned to let his mother-in-law and sister-in-law accompany the distinguished guests to live at home, and he went to the house next door to make up for a night.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xiaotong refused, so he asked him to find a remote cave, help raise a fire, and borrow a clean pot

, carried a few bundles of firewood, and planned to fry the tea overnight.

Of course, this is an external statement, but in fact, she wants to classify these green teas with the tea roasting machine she bought.

If you live in Brother Yang Zhao's house, it will be inconvenient.

Helpless, Li Dashan found a clean cave, helped prepare things, and after being away for so many days, he finally came back, and he was busy working until now, and he couldn't hold on, so he went to sleep.

However, the two sisters, Yang Zhaodi and Yang Zaizhao, were a little worried about Mei Xiaotong, and they all ran out in the middle of the night to look at Mei Xiaotong's cave, and saw that the fire inside was always on, so they were relieved to go back to sleep.

Mei Xiaotong let most of the tea leaves be fried by the tea machine, leaving one-third, and spent 5 points in the system to buy a book to study.

Then she practiced slowly, and it was not until three or four o'clock in the morning that she barely finished frying the tea leaves.

Looking at the results of his overnight work, the leaves were all pressed into pieces, some were broken, and some were fried, but it was much stronger than the Orion's family threw into the iron pot and stir-fried with a wooden shovel.

Looking at the tea leaves, she finally felt sleepy, and leaned against the mountain wall and squinted for a while.

When she woke up, she found that it was already bright outside, but the cave was quiet.

Flicking his arm, Mei Xiaotong slowly walked outside the cave, and saw a few old people and children at the entrance of the cave who barely walked when they came out of dinner yesterday, basking in the sun there.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong come out, the older children ran to Mei Xiaotong and pointed to a pot on the big brazier in the cave, "Breakfast!" ”

Mei Xiaotong walked to the brazier and saw that there was still residual heat in the brazier, white rice porridge was warm in the pot above, and a salted bird's egg was boiling in the beating.

Mei Xiaotong had just finished breakfast, and the man who was in the lead yesterday walked in, "Xiucai lady, there are two carriages outside Yingzigou, and several people say they know you, one is your fourth brother, the other is your nephew, and a few——"

Mei Xiaotong immediately understood, but she was afraid that Guan Yifei had already found someone.

Immediately patted the dust on his clothes and stood up: "I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Out of the cave, not long after walking back and forth, I met the hunters of Yingzigou, and took Wang Yongping and their group before and after, and came on foot. Seeing Mei Xiaotong, Wang Yongping first put his mind at ease, but immediately lifted his heart again, left Orion behind him in a few big steps, almost trotted in front of Mei Xiaotong, looked up and down, and saw that she was in good spirits, so he could be regarded as completely relieved.

The golden pot also came up and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

The man who was the leader next to Mei Xiaotong was not happy when he heard this, "The talented lady is our honored guest in Yingzigou, we can't be hospitable, what can happen?" You little offspring, you offend people by talking! ”

The golden pot wanted to explain, and Guan Yifei and the Qi master who were following behind also walked in.

Guan Yifei saw Mei Xiaotong and nodded reluctantly, but his steps accelerated under his feet

A few points.

Let the next person say that he is accompanied, but in fact he is still monitoring, Orion couldn't help muttering in his heart: It is said that the people outside this mountain, especially the people in the city, are all delicate and expensive, and they have to be supported when they walk, why does this look like a big boss today, this speed is faster than their own?

Except for Master Qi, who walked slowly and calmly, looking at the surrounding environment, the others gathered around Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong nodded at Guan Yifei: "Guan Steward!" Fulfill the mission! ”

Guan Yifei's excitement, which was originally forcibly suppressed, accidentally leaked out, and his throat was so excited that he floated: "Really? ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled and introduced to the people on both sides: "Guan Guan, this is Brother Lu Xiaoshan of Yingzigou, who is fair and cautious, and convincing in his conduct in the world." ”

"Brother Xiaoshan, this is Guan Steward, he is here on behalf of Boss Zhang of the Hengchang in the capital."

Guan Yifei was stunned at first, but immediately piled up as if nothing had happened, extremely standard, hypocritical, and very much in line with the image of the chief steward.

Arched his hand at Lu Xiaoshan: "Fortunately!" Fortunately! ”

Where had Lu Xiaoshan seen such a formation, and he was in a hurry and arched his hands indiscriminately: "I have admired the name for a long time!" I have admired the daimyo for a long time! This is still when he went to sell mountain goods, and he often heard the polite words of those shopkeepers, so he always remembered it, and today he finally has a time to use it.

After some greetings, Lu Xiaoshan accompanied Guan Yifei and Mei Xiaotong and his party back to the cave.

Guan Yifei and Wang Yongping and their entourage, except for the golden pot, were all seeing this situation for the first time, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

The children in the cave were all taken back to their caves by the old people.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Xiaoshan wanted to ask someone to bring the bitter wild tea that was brewed in the morning, but Mei Xiaotong stopped him.

She took out a paper bag: "This is the tea I made yesterday, let's try it!" ”

As he spoke, he instructed the golden pot to boil water, and asked Lu Xiaoshan to bring a stack of clean bowls.

In this cave, it would be good to be able to gather the clay bowls used by a few people in front of you, and many people are using wood or bamboo to make bowls made by casually cutting and chopping.

First boiled water scalded the oil and gas on the clay bowl, and then opened the paper bag, a fresh fragrance came to the nose.

Master Qi, who had been sitting on the side with his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes in an instant, staring at the tea bag in Mei Xiaotong's hand.

Mei Xiaotong put the tea leaves into the clay bowl, then poured boiling water, and it was done.

According to local conditions, this environment can only be made up like this.

As soon as the hot water is flushed, the light aroma of tea immediately evaporates.

Master Qi and Guan Yifei both closed their eyes, smelling the fragrance of tea, and reveling in it.

But the hunters, look at the tea leaves in the bowl, in the hot water, tumbling, and then quietly stretch out at the bottom of the bowl, it is strangely beautiful.

Although the light in the cave is not bad, the color of the clay bowl is too dark, and the color of the tea cannot be seen at all

Come.

Guan Yifei and Master Qi only smelled the incense and went straight to Pin.

After taking a sip of tea, the two of them didn't speak for a long time.

It was Master Qi who spoke first, and he was disgusted when he spoke: "The fire is too big, the technique is rusty, half of it is overcooked, half of it is not completely finished, and the good tea is ruined!" ”

Seeing Master Qi and Guan Yifei drinking tea, the other hunters also took bowls to taste fresh, wanting to taste what the people in this city like.

Then after hearing Master Qi's evaluation, they all began to wonder, is this the same leaf bubbled?

Not to mention anything else, as far as they are concerned, although this leaf soup is light, it is not so bitter in the mouth, and after a while, there is a faint sweetness coming up, to be honest, it is much better than their boiled thick.

Why is it nothing in the mouth of that serious-looking old man?

Orion, who had that straight temper, couldn't help it: "I said you old man, why are you talking so ugly?" I watched the Xiucai lady fry quite well, much better than our family's craftsmanship! At least it can be sold for ten big bucks a pound! ”

For them hunters, being able to spend a lot of money on such unwanted things is enough to save face.

When Master Ke Qi heard this, he snorted coldly on the spot: "Ten big money? You know, such a good pre-Ming picking, if the old man and I personally take action, one or two new tea before the Ming Dynasty, there is no one hundred taels, don't want to smell it! ”

"Poof-" The sound of tea spraying one after another.

Even Lu Xiaoshan, who thought he was very stable, couldn't help but splash a bowl of tea on his body, making him tremble.

In a cave, only Mei Xiaotong, Guan Yifei and Master Qi were still stable, and the others couldn't believe their ears.

Mei Xiaotong looked at Master Qi very calmly: "Yesterday I started roasting tea for the first time, I have no experience, just practice it twice!" ”

Master Qi was heartbroken: "Waste! You're a waste of money! ”

looked at Mei Xiaotong's eyes, and couldn't wait to fry her.

Mei Xiaotong knew as soon as he heard it, but he was afraid that this Master Qi was the master of tea making found by Guan Yifei, and at his age, he would definitely not be able to see someone make such a precious Ming Qian tea like this.

It's just that she's not a professional, and the first time she can fry it out according to the script, she thinks that her cow x is bad, okay?

Besides, how can you learn from experience if you don't practice much?

Although Mei Xiaotong didn't speak, her expression revealed her thoughts, and Master Qi saw it in his eyes, and became more and more angry: "If you want to practice, can't you use ordinary tea?" Do you have to spoil this good tea? Tyrannical creatures! ”

Tyrannical Creatures?

Mei Xiaotong silently filled a bowl of the wild tea leaf soup that was often drunk by the Yingzigou people on the side, and gave Master Qi: "Master Qi, you taste this before you speak-"

Master Qi took a bite and almost didn't spit it out! Is this tea soup? This is Coptis water, right?

It was already boiled

It was cold again, and it became more and more bitter.

If it weren't for the smell of tea, Master Qi would have doubted his tongue.

The familiar sweetness came up from his throat, and Master Qi's face darkened, don't turn your head and stop talking.

Guan Yifei saw that he had always paid no attention to anything except tea in his eyes, and Master Qi, who was the most arrogant, actually stopped talking after drinking a bowl of soup, and suddenly became curious.

What kind of soulful soup is this?

Seeing that Master Qi only took a sip, the bowl that he put aside, Guan Yifei picked it up and took a sip.

Then everyone saw Guan Yifei, who had always had a standard and kind smile on his face, his face was distorted, and he barely swallowed it for a long time, and he was finally not rude.

glanced at Master Qi sadly, no wonder he didn't speak!

Compared with this medicinal soup, Mei Xiaotong's half-baked tea is already the best.

I didn't dare to stay in the cave any longer, lest I have to drink strange things for a while.

Guan Yifei squeezed out a smile: "Why don't we go and see the tea tree first?" ”

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, this kind of good tea, it's better to see it with your own eyes and confirm it.

Lu Xiaoshan naturally has no opinion.

instructed the others to entertain guests in the cave, and he personally took Mei Xiaotong and Guan Yifei, as well as Master Qi, to see the wild tea forest.

Walk all the way, follow Guan Yifei all the way, and Master Qi introduces the scenery on the roadside.

Master Qi's originally dark face also slowly eased.

Occasionally, he would ask a few words out loud, and looking at his look, he was also satisfied.

Waiting on the hillside, before Lu Xiaoshan could speak, Master Qi's sharp eyes saw the nearest wild tea tree, three steps and two steps, and with a speed that he should not have at such a young age, he quickly rushed to the side of the tea tree.

After a careful observation, he pinched the tip of the bud and smelled it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, with a look of surprise on his face: "Good tea!" Good tea! ”

Looking at the scattered tea trees on this hillside, Master Qi's eyes were about to glow green, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

He only nodded at Guan Yifei, and plunged into the tea grove.

Guan Yifei was affirmed by Master Qi, and he had a bottom in his heart.

Looking at this hillside, I suddenly felt different, this hillside is not tea trees, it is tea, it is silver! It is the glory of the second half of his life!

took two deep breaths, and looked at the surroundings where there were no outsiders, only him, Mei Xiaotong and the leader of the Yingzigou were discussing the matter of this tea at this moment.

According to Guan Yifei's idea, it is natural that the people of Yingzigou are responsible for collecting the tea leaves before Ming and Gu Yu, and then in these two seasons, they send people here to fry tea, and after the tea is fried, they will be transported away, so as to maximize the benefits.

It's just that when he looked at Mei Xiaotong who was smiling, and Lu Xiaoshan looked at Mei Xiaotong nervously from time to time, he knew that this plan would not come to pass, I was afraid that Mei Xiaotong would also interfere in this tea business.

if

He refused, and he was a little unreasonable, this tea, if it wasn't for Mei Xiaotong's help, if he wanted to find it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so simple.

And they are outsiders after all, and these hunters must be wary of them.

With the Wang family in the middle, these hunters can cooperate with them.

After thinking about it and biting it, Guan Yifei said the conditions he thought about again, and the price of purchasing tea green was doubled! Then give Mei Xiaotong a portion!

Lu Xiaoshan was a little anxious when he heard this, this was too far from the conditions that Mei Xiaotong talked to them yesterday.

But he is finally a calm person, and he knows that he can't talk casually at this time

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. 00 Recommendation:

, I have to look at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong gave Lu Xiaoshan a reassuring look, and Lu Xiaoshan didn't know why, so he felt that his heart was settled.

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "Guan Guan, you are too bullying!" This tea, for generations, has been guarded by the people of this Yingzigou, and now that he has to meet Bole, he will definitely shine in the tea market in the future, and his value will double! But if you make such an arrangement, the people of Yingzigou, the tea is gone, but there is no benefit, it's not very kind, right? ”

Guan Yifei twitched his cheeks: "How do you think the talented lady should be distributed?" ”

Mei Xiaotong's plan is very simple, since everyone is cooperating, the three parties must show sincerity.

Yingzigou has nothing else, but what they have is the most valuable thing, tea! Without this, all is empty talk!

To tell the truth, if Mei Xiaotong didn't plan to expose herself, and she didn't want to be too fast, she could have eaten this tea by herself, and threw Guan Yifei and them aside.

It's just that people can't stand without integrity! She can't do such tasteless things.

Guan Yifei has the advantage that he has many years of experience and channels in the mountain goods business, as well as Zhang Yinbao's power, can completely push out this wild tea, so that it has become a high-quality tea sought after by dignitaries and nobles from a wild tea that no one cares about in the mountains.
