Chapter 200: Someone from the Barracks
In fact, Lin Baozhu thought too much, and according to Zhang Manho's exploits, since he was sealed, he must be rewarded. 【Latest chapter reading. At that time, the real money will be more than a hundred gold and thousands of silver
But she couldn't help thinking about it, just after breakfast the next day, Wen Yan brought the little dumb and the shopkeeper Wen here. It is said that it is a matter of discussing beauty tea.
This is a serious matter, Lin Baozhu didn't twist, and asked Qiu Niang and Sister-in-law Cui to serve tea and snacks, which opened up a posture to talk about things.
When it came to the point, Lin Baozhu personally went to the cabinet in the inner room to store tea and took out the beauty tea. Because I considered the taste of beauty tea at that time, and if I didn't open it once, I would have to contact the air once, and the fragrance would dissipate some, so Lin Baozhu specially asked people to make a batch of small tea paper bags.
The clerk didn't dare to despise it, earlier, the shopkeeper took some and sent them to the house, he didn't take it seriously at that time, just regarded it as an ordinary tea product, but he didn't want the tea to enter the porcelain cup, which was instantly amazing. He was originally from a teahouse family, and with a little tasting, he could taste the good things. It's like the tongue of a nobleman, good tea and ordinary tea, just take a sip and you can know it.
As the hot water is poured into the cup, the tea leaves that were still curled up slowly bloom, but they do not stand up in the water like hairy tips, but rise and fall like a dancer. Then, the tea soup changes from light to thick, becoming a clear red amber color, with a white porcelain teacup, which is very beautiful.
The clerk has been staring at the chrysanthemum banquet in the capital, but he has been suffering from the fact that he has no way to monopolize the chelate on the tea offering, so that the nobles favor the Wen family. Moreover, as more and more tea shops search for tea in southern Fujian, now their Wen family has no advantage. If there is no way to get the nobles to recognize it this year, I am afraid that next year, the tea leaves of the Wen family gòng yīng will be squeezed out of the noble circle.
But with the appearance of Lin Baozhu's new tea Oriental Beauty Tea, he keenly smelled a glimmer of opportunity. He is a genius in the business world, coupled with the huge financial resources of the Wen family and the support of nobles, he naturally sees the potential of Zhang Ji Beauty Tea.
"Don't give it a taste, this tea can only be picked once a year, and it can't be made in other tea gardens and tea houses. If you talk about white cockscomb tea or eagle tea, maybe others can still find some ways to get fresh leaves to fry, then this beauty tea is unique. Lin Baozhu saw that the clerk's face was serious, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Compared with other teas, this tea seems to be specially made for women." ”
Hearing this, the clerk glanced at his shopkeeper, and saw him nodding secretly, and couldn't help but think about it. When he confirmed the conjecture and probe, he couldn't help but take a breath. Since the first time he learned about this beauty tea from the shopkeeper, he has sent people to inquire around, and even sent a message to the caravan quickly, so that people can inquire about this kind of tea that has never been heard of. In the end, there was no news at all, and even after several tea masters of the Wen family personally inspected it, they also came to a conclusion that could not be replicated.
It's just that now that he got the exact dá àn from Lin Baozhu's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. According to Lin Baozhu's words, this tea is simply superb, even if it is Tianshan silver tea, the output is much larger than this beauty tea.
He took a secret breath, looked at the teacup in his hand, and said slowly after a while: "Since Madame is straightforward, I won't go around the corner, the Wen family intends to use this tea to retain its status in the capital and the circle of nobles, so I also hope that Madame can continue to cooperate with the Wen family." First, the Wen family can get benefits, and secondly, Zhang Ji can also open the business in the capital, and I guarantee that the Wen family's century-old reputation will have a place for Zhang Ji in the capital. ”
After thinking about it all night, Lin Baozhu actually felt that cooperating with the Wen family would be the best way. Didn't she still think about looking for the cooperation of the shopkeeper Xu of Anping Tea Shop? Now that the shopkeeper Xu can't do it, but the Wen family can directly reach the nobles in the capital, is there a better choice than this?
So when she saw that Wen Yan threw out the conditions, she naturally responded without hesitation. Next, the two of them discussed again, and they didn't even care that Qiu Niang changed the tea twice, until all the details were determined.
This time the stakes are very high, and the survival and future of the two signboards are at stake, and the detailed terms to be set are naturally much more detailed than before. Even Lin Baozhu thought a little more, and asked the clerk how to send the tea to the capital, and how to transfer and store it along the way.
Fortunately, the clerk is experienced, and his caravan is also very familiar with transporting tea, so there will be no mistakes.
Now that the major matters have been decided, the next profit issue is naturally easy to discuss. The clerk is also happy, and he just wants to use this tea to be famous in the eyes of nobles, so the price can be a step, so five or five points are negotiated.
Lin Baozhu was also pleased that the business was going smoothly this time, so after signing the contract and then asking people to go to the yamen to seal it, she told Qiu Niang to go to the cellar to get two jars of good wine and bring them to the clerk.
As for why she didn't open her mouth politely to keep someone to eat, it was naturally because she had thoroughly understood the cheekiness of the eldest young master of the Wen family, and if she opened her mouth, the person would definitely climb down the pole. She is naturally not afraid of eating and drinking, and there is no shortage of food at home, but her own man is not there, and she is busy packing up, how can she have time to entertain this eldest young master.
Seeing Lin Baozhu's happy look when he left, Wen Yan felt very unhappy inexplicably, and his brows were furrowed. Even when I sat in the carriage, I couldn't get back to it.
Aggrieved, aggrieved, aggrieved for no reason, but seeing the remaining half a bag of tea on his hand, smelling the fragrant and long fragrance of tea leaves on the end of his nose, he raised his head for a while and sighed. Somehow, I suddenly got distracted, and I didn't know what was going on in my mind.
For a while, this young master, who had always been gentle and handsome and gentle in Taoxi County, had a faint loneliness on his face, and his hand involuntarily held the tea bag, but his heart was deeply powerless.
In any case, that person is not something to be imagined by himself. Don't say that Zhang Manchu is now a general, and Lin Baozhu is already the general's wife, that is to say, Zhang Manchu has a bad mind to abandon his wife, and his father and mother will not allow an abandoned woman to enter the door, let alone be the grandmother of the Wen family.
He sighed, barely suppressing the good feeling that was born in his heart. No matter how good that person is, and what amazing craftsmanship and exquisite mind he has, he is already another woman, and he is two people.
Thinking about this, Wen Yan, who was still a little depressed just now, suddenly felt that it was time to talk to his father and mother about his marriage when he went back today. Now that he is over twenty, most of his friends around him have wives and concubines, and even some children are under his knees, but he is still alone, which breaks his father's heart.
After sending away a few people from the Wen family, Lin Baozhu happily accepted the contract and deposit, and then beckoned Qiu Niang and Sister-in-law Cui to cook a meal together.
After eating, Lin Baozhu brought a jar of champion Yuanhong to Mrs. Lu's house. Although Liu Jincai went to participate in the scientific expedition and has not yet returned, when it is time to come to the end, she sent a jar of champion red, which can be regarded as a celebration of the occasion.
Just as she went to Mrs. Lu's house to talk for a while and went home, she suddenly heard the sound of kicking and trampling galloping horses' hooves. The group came very quickly, and with enough momentum, to kick up a puff of dust on the village road.
Lin Baozhu flashed sideways to the side, and looked at it for a long time, but unfortunately the people came too quickly, and she didn't see it accurately. Just when he sighed that his eyes were not good, he saw that the pair of people and horses were not more than a hundred steps forward, and suddenly scolded and stopped. Then, a column of red-clothed and armored cavalry turned over from their horses in a neat manner, and came to Lin Baozhu in an instant.
At this time, Lin Baozhu found out that the person who took the lead with his head raised and his chest was high-spirited, wasn't it the sixth son. I saw that the sixth son, who had just been training in an orderly manner, showed a smirk as soon as he arrived in front of Lin Baozhu.
"Sister-in-law, how is it, have momentum." The sixth son tilted his head slightly, and said earnestly, "The eldest brother said that he wanted to arrange a show, and invited the sister-in-law to the capital, so that the big guy could take a look." My second brother and I pondered, and that's how we could show our momentum."
So he asked for a few personal soldiers in front of his eldest brother, and then dressed up, and was promised to wear armor to pick up his sister-in-law. Not to mention, I was envied by many people along the way.
Lin Baozhu stabilized his mind, and when he saw the sixth son's expression of begging for praise, he sneered and said, "Don't scare people, the road in this village is narrow, you ride a fast horse like this, beware of hurting the children who are playing and playing." ”
Whether she is imposing or not, she doesn't care too much, anyway, she can get to her own side no matter how she goes, and nothing else is really that important.
The two sides are reconciled, although they were reprimanded by their sister-in-law, but the big guy is still very happy and interested. After all, when they were in the village before, who of them hadn't eaten the good wine and food cooked by their sister-in-law? Who hasn't been taken care of by a sister-in-law?
Most of the big guys are young and left home, and many of them are from poor families, and now they can't find their relatives, so they are taken care of by their sister-in-law, and they are really happy in their hearts. In addition to respecting my sister-in-law, I also have an indescribable like. It's like a family member who is looking forward to it.,Gentle and kind when you talk.,And admonishment or some jokes.。
The sixth son scratched the back of his head, and then said hello, and asked everyone to listen to his sister-in-law's words and lead the horse back to Zhang's house together.
There are a lot of horses, but with the manger shed they built last time, there will be no place to tie the horses.
Lin Baozhu basically arranged all the things at home at this time, and the things that should be purchased were also purchased, and the silver tickets and broken silver were wrapped early. So it's also convenient to say go.
