Chapter 356
At that time, he just smelled it, thought it was okay, a little wild, chewed, but felt the bitterness and sweetness of the tea.
I also gave a tael of silver, and casually asked, where did I get it.
I found out that it was the second boy of the Wang family who seemed to be shrewd in exchange for a bag of sugar dregs, saying that it was a little child who secretly came out of his house to exchange sugar for food.
Although he didn't know what this was, it was quite refreshing to smell the smell, and he heard that he could soak in water to drink, so he accepted it.
Guan Yifei has been collecting mountain goods for many years, and has followed Boss Zhang to the south for many years, and has also seen a lot of tea gardens and high-quality tea.
However, this time the wild tea, even if it is treated so roughly, can still be bitter and sweet together, and after drinking it, it is refreshing, and it is not inferior to the tribute tea.
I thought about it right now.
Boss Zhang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the capital, he needs to have a fist product, so that people can think of him when they mention it.
But now this business can be big in the capital, it is a time-honored brand for many years, or there are people behind it, how can Boss Zhang get his feet in.
Guan Yifei was originally a confidant of Boss Zhang, and he also knew the difficulties of the owner, so after seeing this wild tea, he had an idea.
Sent half of the wild tea to Boss Zhang, and told him what had happened.
Not long after, Boss Zhang sent someone to personally send a secret letter, saying that he sent this wild tea to the person who knows the most about tea in the capital for special identification, saying that it was the best good tea, but it was a pity that it was wasted by unprofessional frying methods.
Boss Zhang is also a very keen person, and knows that this is a great opportunity for him to open up the situation in the capital.
At that moment, he gave a death order, let Guan Yifei find the location of this wild tea, it is best to buy it, see if the yield is large, if it can, make a new tea.
After Guan Yifei received the secret letter, he immediately inquired in many ways, but after all, he was not familiar with the place, and it was such a major event, so he did not dare to disclose it to the Wang family.
I wanted to go through Mei Xiaotong and go to the wild tea again.
Of course, maybe yes, if Mei Xiaotong can help find the location of the wild tea, there must be a lot of thanks! Please also ask Mei Xiaotong to keep it secret, don't tell it widely, everyone will know about it.
He can't help it, in this deep mountain, who knows who sent it? If it is to find the Wang family, it is better to find Mei Xiaotong, with Mei Xiaotong's current status, for the sake of An Huahao's reputation, he will not do anything to leak secrets.
It is better to find those people through Mei Xiaotong than to find the Wang family directly.
Mei Xiaotong only groaned, and guessed Guan Yifei's plan, but if this can really help Guan Yifei, the Wang family's mountain goods business will not be worried.
Mei Xiaotong's heart moved, and she had a vague idea in her mind.
At the moment, I only asked Guan Yifei to rest assured, and she would ask about the situation when she went back.
Guan Yifei got up with confidence to send Mei Xiaotong out, and before going out, he reluctantly wrapped Mei Xiaotong with one or two of the tea leaves that were not much, and it was very painful
Dai: "But you have to save some drink, if you don't find that wild tea, you won't have to drink it in the future!" ”
Mei Xiaotong took the tea and said goodbye funny.
Because of this wild tea incident, Mei Xiaotong washed away a lot of parting emotions with An Huahao for a while.
was full of thoughts about wild tea, and unconsciously returned to Qilidun.
Drove the wagon to the backyard, unloaded the wagon, and led the mules to the yard of the warehouse behind, where a few children had already brought back the forage and put it in the yard for the mules to eat.
turned around and entered the yard, and was about to move things down from the carriage, Mrs. Zhang, who heard the movement, hurriedly came out of the house, and while stepping forward to take the handle, she observed her daughter's face, for fear that she would be sad: "Send Hua Hao away?" ”
Asked cautiously.
Mei Xiaotong nodded.
"Don't be sad! If you really miss him, my mother will go to the county seat with you in two days, what are you afraid of? Seeing Mei Xiaotong's preoccupied look, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly comforted.
Mei Xiaotong was stunned. 123。 Busy said: "Mother, I'm not, I don't-"
Mrs. Zhang is more and more distressed, her daughter is too sensible, what is this sad, and she is afraid that she will be worried, so she has to say no.
Oops, I feel sorry for her!
wiped a handful of tears at the moment, carried things with meow, followed Mei Xiaotong, entered the house, put the things down, brought water to Mei Xiaotong, and asked her to wash her face.
On the one hand, I went to the stove house without touching the ground, thinking about making some delicious food for my daughter.
But this is not out of the filial piety period, what delicious food can be made? I had to wipe my tears and beat Mei Xiaotong with two sugar water eggs, and brought them to Mei Xiaotong: "Eat it!" ”
Mei Xiaotong looked at her mother with a bewildered expression. Reluctantly took the sugar water egg, "Mother, don't worry!" I'm really fine! I'm thinking about something else, it's really not that I can't bear Brother Song! ”
Mrs. Zhang saw that her daughter was generous, so she really believed that her daughter was really not sad.
First I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I thought about it, no!
This is still a young couple, when the relationship is right, why do you want to be separated for a long time, and you are not sad at all?
"Girl, tell me, are you having trouble with Hua Hao? Or do you have a crush on another boy? Mrs. Zhang asked nervously.
Thinking of the nine young people I met in the county, hey, she looks so good-looking, even her old woman can be stunned, her daughter used to like to look at the handsome guy.
Why did you have to be An Hua Hao in the first place. Isn't the flowering of rice balls because An Huahao has grown the most handsome in ten miles and eight towns since then?
Even if she feels distressed and likes An Huahao's son-in-law, she can't say with a clear conscience that An Huahao is less beautiful than others.
Could it be that his own daughter is thinking about that calendar nine years again?
Mrs. Zhang was anxious and rubbed her hands, "Girl, you are already married, can you see one and love the other?" Although Hua Hao's face is a little darker, he has become a little old, but he
Steady, I'm filial to your father again, this, we can't give people a break-"
"Girl, let's be kind! In this world, there are endless clothes, endless love, uh no, it's an inexhaustible husband! But you have to be conscientious and reasonable! Hua Hao, this child, although he is not very handsome, is also seven or eight points, which is a rare handsome offspring! “
"We'll be content! Men who are too good-looking are not worried, they are very attentive! Besides, if a man looks more handsome than us women, is there still heavenly reason? This man should be like a man! Boys and girls are unlucky, ......"...
Mrs. Zhang racked her brains and tried to persuade her daughter not to think crookedly.
Mei Xiaotong was stunned at first, but after a while, she understood, and she couldn't cry or laugh.
finally waited for Mrs. Zhang to stop breathing, and then said, "Mother, where do you want to go?" No matter how handsome a man is in this world, there is no big brother Song! Your daughter, I love Brother Song! You won't think about holding the pipa, you can put your heart back in your stomach when you are old! ”
Mrs. Zhang touched her nose in disdain, and embarrassedly sent Mei Xiaotong's hand: "Then you girl, come back with a calm face, and ask you again, didn't you say that you were reluctant to Hua Hao?" Can this young couple be separated at first glance? Didn't you deliberately make your wife want to be crooked? ”
Mei Xiaotong had to lean into Mrs. Zhang's ear and tell her what Guan Yifei said, and then said: "I was thinking, if I really found the tea tree." 123。 Isn't there a mountain next to us? Get some branches of the tea tree back and take cuttings, carefully cover, I can't say that I can plant a tea garden! If this tea is really famous in the future, we will have this tea garden here, and we will not worry about it for the rest of our lives! ”
"There are still losses and profits in business, but this tea garden, as long as it is well maintained, no matter how difficult it is, the family can be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing!"
This is also Mei Xiaotong's other plan, although this business is doing well now, but doing this kind of business, it is easy to make money, and it is easier to lose.
She can't guarantee that her business will always be undefeated, not to mention, if An Huahao really enters the officialdom, these things in business must be reined in, but the tea garden and the field are indeed the most real.
Therefore, if she can leave a way out for herself in her hometown, she has to think of something.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. It's even more exciting.
For her, she was tending to the crops in the field and digging food from the soil.
Land is the least deceiving, how much you give, how much it gives you back.
has been a village woman for most of her life, and in Mrs. Zhang's heart, there is no more reliable than land.
No matter how much money her daughter has to do business, Mrs. Zhang has no bottom in her heart.
But I heard the girl say that she wanted to build a tea garden, although she didn't know what was so strange about the sweet tea leaves that said that the divine life was bitter and sweet.
But she believes in her daughter's vision.
Even if you lose, don't you still have land? As long as there is land, what are you afraid of?
Thinking so, Mrs. Zhang also slapped her hands in agreement: "This idea is good, even if it is a tea item."
If we can't plant it, in the future, we can plant fruit trees and medicinal herbs! As long as there is land. When the rice ball blooms, you won't starve to death! ”
Mei Xiaotong heard Mrs. Zhang say this, and she was right to think about it, there is a small field system, as long as you can find the tea tree, there is no problem if you want to plant tea, right? It's really not good, planting fruit trees and medicinal herbs, she came to that time and space, didn't someone contract a large area of mountains and grow ginseng?
was already moved, and when Mrs. Zhang said this, it became more and more hot.
The mother and daughter got together and chatted for a long time before they remembered whether they should call the golden pot and ask about the whereabouts of the child who sold wild tea?
went to the big room to find the golden pot, since the golden pot was scolded by Wang Yongfu, except for the next day when he entertained Mei Xiaotong with a smile, he has been stuffy in the house.
On the day of May Seven, although people came out, they were also sullen and did not speak.
Although he knew that An Huahao was leaving, if it was in the past, he would definitely rush to send it off.
can think of what his own father said before, and what he said in and out of the words is that he is careful and wants to please his aunt and uncle, and he will be good in the future.
Jin Kettle is also a big child, and his self-esteem is already strong, but when he is said so, especially his own father, where does he still have the face?
More and more to avoid suspicion, to show that you don't mean that.
It's just that I always feel sorry for my aunt and my aunt, and I can't come out of the room.
Hearing Mei Xiaotong shouting, he immediately turned over and got off the kang, he had rushed to the door, his hands were on the latch, he thought about it, slowed down again, opened the door hesitantly, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, what are you looking for me?" ”
There is a little more respect between these words, and there is no comfort in the past.
Mei Xiaotong glanced at the golden pot more before saying, "You come with me to the backyard, I have something to ask you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, regardless of whether the golden pot followed or not.
Jin Kettle's heart jumped, could it be that the old aunt also felt that she was scolding them with her thoughts? So today you want to ask about sin?
His face turned pale, Jin Ju gritted his teeth, and still followed Mei Xiaotong and went to the backyard.
When I arrived in the backyard and entered the upper room, Mrs. Zhang rarely brought out a few fried snacks and put them on the kang table, "Golden pot, hurry up and eat some fruit." ”
Where did the golden pot ever receive such a treat from Mrs. Zhang, she was so flattered that she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet for a while.
Carefully rubbed on the kang, sat down with his buttocks next to the edge of the kang, put his hands on his knees in a proper manner, looked like a sin, and didn't even dare to raise his head.
Mrs. Zhang is most unaccustomed to seeing her own people cowering and shrinking her hands and feet, and she is not generous and childish at first glance.
At the moment, his eyes glared: "Is there someone in this house who wants to eat you?" Or is someone going to scold you? Who is it for? A good offspring, like a little girl, what does it look like? ”
When the golden pot heard this, he immediately stood up, but fortunately he was just next to the edge of the kang and didn't sit tightly, otherwise he would have to
Don't get off the kang.
Mei Xiaotong only felt that the golden pot was a little weird today, and in the end, she always valued this nephew the most, and hurriedly solved the siege: "I guess I was tired yesterday and haven't woken up yet!" Alright, sit down and talk! I called you here today because I asked you, did you exchange a bag of sugar dregs for a bag of wild tea a few days ago? ”
Jin Kettle was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to ask about it, but after thinking about it for a while, he said, "There is such a thing." These days, I follow the delivery to the town, and I always listen to those traders say about tea, what is the best before tomorrow, saying that there is no good tea in our place, and we are not used to it. ”
"I thought, this wild tea is also tea, and it smells like a fragrance, as long as it is stained with the edge of the tea, it can't be sold for some money. I had the audacity to exchange it for sugar dregs. ”
"But isn't this wild tea? Last time, the chief steward asked me if I came? As he spoke, the golden pot had a worried look on his face.
After all, he was only a half-old child, and he hadn't experienced much, so he panicked at the moment, and began to think about what he did wrong, or what kind of disaster had happened?
Otherwise, the big steward has found his aunt?
Mei Xiaotong saw that Jin Ju was scared, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay!" Don't be afraid! It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing! ”
When the golden pot heard that it was a good thing, he relaxed a little and looked at Mei Xiaotong.
Mei Xiaotong said: "That wild tea is a bit interesting, Guan Da Steward wants to ask you, can you still find that child?" I also want to buy some more. ”
When Jin Ju heard this, he completely put his mind at ease, and when he said this, he couldn't help but dance again: "That child is a child from Yangjia Village next door, his family was originally a famous dilapidated family in Yangjia Village, and his family was poor, and after giving birth to five golden flowers, he gave birth to a baby pimple son." ”
"That family, offering this smallest precious pimple as an ancestor, is the most accustomed to it on weekdays. The three sisters in front of them are older, and they are all sold by the family as daughters-in-law, as long as the bride price is high, whether they are lame or fools, they will be sold! ”
"The third sister of his family, last year to sell to the mountains to be a daughter-in-law, this year back to her parents' home, the mountains are bitter, there is nothing good to bring back to her parents' home, in addition to the mountain goods, I wrapped a bag of wild tea fried by home, saying that drinking in summer can relieve the heat."
The family felt that this daughter-in-law was too stingy when he returned to the door, and there was nothing decent to do, so they drove people away on the same day. This bag of tea is still the kid who saw that no one wanted to throw it anywhere, and his mouth was greedy, so he thought of using him to mix the sugar residue sweet mouth. ”
In a few words, it will be explained clearly.
Mei Xiaotong was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where did the three daughters of the family marry into the mountains?" ”
Jin Ju scratched his head: "I don't know about this, if my aunt wants to know, I'll ask?" ”
Mei Xiaotong bowed her head: "Then you can go on a trip, pretend to collect mountain goods, and ask a word by the way, don't make people suspicious!" If you do this well, it will be a great achievement! ”
When the golden pot heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and was about to go outside.
was pulled by Mei Xiaotong and fried the oil on the table
The snack was wrapped in a handkerchief and thrown to the golden pot: "These are carrying, use this set of children's words-"
The golden pot took the dim sum in a knowing sense and trotted all the way away.
Mrs. Zhang saw that the golden pot was far away, so she asked: "If you really find the tea tree, what are you going to do?" ”
Mei Xiaotong pondered for a moment: "If this is really possible, the primary hero must be the golden pot, although he just tried, but if he didn't have this mind, he would miss this opportunity!" ”
"Moreover, there is also the family of the three daughters who got married, if we can tell us the location of the wild tea, how can we thank one or two, if it wasn't for the wild tea that the three girls brought back to their parents' house, they wouldn't have been discovered!"
Mrs. Zhang thought about it and was still not at ease: "Don't be stupid to give the tea garden to others, you know?" The golden pot is a child, give more silver, or anything else, but the tea garden can't be separated! ”
Mei Xiaotong looked at Mrs. Zhang: "Why?" ”
Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "This tea garden will be my future grandson in the future, if the tea garden is divided, this golden pot is so much bigger than our grandson, and when my grandson grows up in the future, I am afraid that this tea garden will not know whose it is!" ”
"Although it is said that two king characters cannot be written in one stroke, the brothers still settle accounts. If you give the tea garden to the golden pot, if you can make money, you can share the dividends. If you can't make money, even if you're okay now, what if you complain in the future? “
Mei Xiaotong listened to Mrs. Zhang's words, and she was quite touched in her heart, after all, human nature is unpredictable, so she only vaguely agreed first, and planned to see it when the time came.
It wasn't until the golden pot came back and filled two large scoops of water at a time that I felt alive.
He went quite smoothly today, after all, they were all from the next village, and he didn't look up and look down.
Because the golden pot came to Yangjia Village to exchange mountain goods for needles and threads, and food, among the children, especially a familiar face, when they saw that it was him, they all looked for friends to surround him.
