Chapter Forty-Four: The Smell of Teeth and Cheeks

CHAPTER XLIV

Immediately, she didn't care about anything, but smiled: "This is the tea made by the little woman herself." 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

Seeing that Lin Baozhu's expression didn't look like a joke, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at the two of them. Seeing that the two of them were dressed in coarse cloth, they didn't expect that they were hidden people. saw that the two of them spoke and acted very tacitly, obviously discussing good words, and Lin Baozhu was even more organized when answering each other, and he was not ecstatic at all for his own appreciation.

He was a trader, and he had traveled all over the country all year round, and had met all kinds of people. It is thought that Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu are very few people who are calm and calm.

Thinking of this, he had a lot of respect for the two of them, and he was no longer so casual when he spoke again. In fact, as early as when he drank tea just now, he knew that today's business must be discussed, and no matter how much money he spent, he could not let other tea shops take the lead.

"This tea is called White Rooster Comb, and compared with other oolong teas, the color is yellow and milky white. The brown color is orange and bright, and the mouth is fragrant on the teeth and cheeks. I don't need to say more, the shopkeeper can also taste the taste. ”

The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this, tasting tea, buying tea and selling tea was his livelihood, and he had even been doing this thing for most of his life. So as soon as the tea is in his mouth, he knows whether it is profitable or not.

In fact, how can the person who can be the shopkeeper of the only and largest tea shop in the town not be clear-minded. Now this tea is unheard of by him, but the taste is surprisingly good, looking at the color and appearance, he knows that if it is born, it will inevitably attract many people.

In these years, who can understand tea and taste good tea, which one cares about money? Even those rich and noble families who don't understand tea will buy some good tea for the sake of vassal elegance or in order to make people look high. Not to mention the nobles in the city.

Not to mention anything else, as long as it is operated properly, just a new crop of tea, he will send it to the city or the state city, I am afraid that what he can get will not be a profit of 100 taels and 80 taels.

The shopkeeper of this tea shop, surnamed Xu, is a person who is full of business experience but understands tea, so whether it is for the development of his own tea shop or for the appreciation of tea, he can ask for the price.

Lin Baozhu saw that the shopkeeper Xu did not beat around the bush, and simply smiled happily: "Since the shopkeeper is sincere, I won't say anything else, although this tea is a good tea, it is extremely difficult for its tea trees to survive, so the yield is very low." If the shopkeeper wants to collect it, it will be eight taels of silver per catty, and if it is to be consigned for sale, then the two will be opened in five or five. ”

According to the current market of the tea shop, a catty of jí pǐn Tieguanyin is ten taels of silver, and the better Da Hong Pao is even taller than fifteen taels of silver. However, although she is proficient in tea making, she also has a general understanding of the market and price of tea in this place. But many details are not very clear in the end, compared with the experience of Zhang Manchu's seemingly rough man, her little thought is not enough at all. So after deciding to sell tea, she carefully discussed it with her grandfather.

It's also a shame that Zhang Man is walking a lot outside, so he probably understands a little. There are also a lot of practical suggestions, especially for consignment. As soon as the shopkeeper has a way to connect, he is not afraid that he will not sell the goods. Second, it can save Lin Baozhu a lot of trouble, and it can also be linked to the interests of the shopkeeper, so it is closely related, and there is no worry that the shopkeeper will press dī jià money.

Shopkeeper Xu thought about it for a while, and then he understood what the two of them had in mind. However, if it is consignment, he is afraid that Lin Baozhu and his family will find someone else's family to sell together, so it is better to simply buy the goods. He is operating in it, and he must not worry about such a good tea being smashed in his own hands.

In fact, the price Lin Baozhu said was obtained from the last time I inquired about the price of those good teas in the tea shop, and then went to the approximate cost of the shop and the profit of the price. This can be regarded as giving some price to the tea shop, which can not only sell well, but also give the shopkeeper some more room to raise the price.

She has long seen that the profits of tea and wine are huge in these years, even if they are profitable. Not to mention that for the shopkeeper Xu, it is not only a profit, but also other expenses.

Shopkeeper Xu frowned slightly, and pondered very quickly. After the excitement of tasting the good tea slowly calmed down, he began to think about other possible problems.

Compared with the price, what he is most worried about is undoubtedly the quality of the tea that Lin Baozhu and his family will supply in the future.

Lin Baozhu just looked at his expression, and he could probably guess the concerns of the shopkeeper Xu. In her previous life, when she first started making tea, many people questioned her craftsmanship. However, she and Zhang Manchu also considered this, after all, it was not a one-shot deal, and it was normal for people to be suspicious, so she was also annoyed. only smiled slightly, and said calmly: "If the shopkeeper has doubts, why don't we sign the contract document and enter it into the official booklet, stating that if the quality of the follow-up tea is defective, we will pay heavy compensation." Look at it. ”

Shopkeeper Xu looked at the rest of the tea in the tea bowl on the table, smelled the faint fragrance of tea, and was silent for a moment. Hearing Lin Baozhu say this, she felt that her bearing was much stronger than herself, so she simply clapped her smile and said: "Then eight taels of silver, but this white cockscomb tea, but it must be collected by my Xu family tea shop." ”

Lin Baozhu glanced at his man, saw him nodding secretly, and immediately made up his mind, and said as the two had discussed before: "This is naturally feasible, but if the market price of this tea grows in the future, then the purchase price cannot remain unchanged." And the final right to raise the price is in the hands of the little woman, so that we can sign the contract. ”

Shopkeeper Xu was quite surprised to hear her say this. He calculated in his heart that according to his current doorway, this tea would be sent to the state and county seats, and he would be able to sell it out in an instant. Moreover, after a few days, it was said that a nobleman from Yanjing was passing by, and he would use some means to send this tea to the post station, not afraid that the nobleman would not be able to drink it

After thinking about it in his heart, the shopkeeper Xu also knew it. When I looked at Lin Baozhu and his wife, I became more and more respectful, I could have such amazing tea-making skills, and I could think about it thoughtfully, not at all like a peasant couple in a rural mountain village. Such people, even if they cannot achieve great things, must not be offended.

So when he spoke again, he was naturally more cautious. And Lin Baozhu glanced at his man proudly, and saw that his eyes were full of smiles, but his expression was still serious and cold, and he couldn't help pouting. It's just that when she turned her head, she didn't see that the cold man suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and pulled out a smile that was not good-looking.

After the price was negotiated and the time for the next delivery was set, the shopkeeper Xu went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then wrote the contract document.

In the document, it was written down one by one according to the discussion between the two, and many clauses were added according to Lin Baozhu, and it was finally decided that if the two families repented, they would have to pay heavy compensation. After that, the shopkeeper Xu signed his name with Lin Baozhu and pressed his fingerprint.

In fact, at the beginning, Shopkeeper Xu handed the red seal to Zhang Manchu, after all, how can there be a woman in charge of the house these days. This kind of money-making business naturally has to fall on the man's head, but I don't know if Zhang Manchu is too pedantic or trusts his daughter-in-law too much, so he let this contract fall into Lin Baozhu's name.

However, he looked at the looks of the little couple and smiled a lot more sincerely. I think that I and my wife were also in love when we were young, wasn't it the same at that time, and I couldn't wait to give all my belongings to the other party?

No matter what happens, the business is finally settled. And the tea leaves that Lin Baozhu brought here naturally weighed on the spot. A total of six catties of dry tea, forty-eight taels of silver.

For this price, Lin Baozhu is quite satisfied, after all, it is a windfall. In the final analysis, that wild tea garden can be picked by everyone, and the only advantage she has over others is the method and skill of making tea.

The deal was completed, the silver goods were both gone, and after getting the silver money, Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu naturally didn't stay any longer. After leaving the tea shop, Zhang Manchu went with her to buy some food and utensils, and then led people to the dart board. It's time for everyone to meet their daughter-in-law, but when he thinks of the annoying Xia Xiaoyuan, he can't help but feel a little irritable in his heart.

When I got to the dart game, I heard my sister-in-law introduced by my own dart, and the big guy didn't care what he was doing at hand, so he came over and shouted his sister-in-law one after another. Lin Baozhu, who was making trouble, blushed and nodded vigorously to everyone.

And Zhang Manchu seemed to be very happy about his daughter-in-law, especially when he saw his daughter-in-law take the snacks and sweets she just bought to everyone, and felt that her daughter-in-law would really come to trouble.

Xia Xiaoyuan, who had just heard that Zhang Manchu was back, trotted around the small door with her skirt, and saw Zhang Manchu from a distance with tears in her eyes, regardless of whether someone rushed over directly and grabbed Zhang Manchu's arm.

"Brother Zhang, where have you been these days, why haven't you come back for so long, I thought I thought I thought" Before he could say a word, people were already choked with pear blossoms and rain. is a person who seems to be weak and can't help the wind, but because of the sobbing, it is even more touching.

It's a pity that her tenderness is very contrived in Zhang Manho's eyes, especially when she came over just now, but she pushed her daughter-in-law for a while, and it's strange that Zhang Manchu can have a good face now.

He directly lowered his face, frowned and shook off Xia Xiaoyuan's hand, not bothering to pay attention to her crazy appearance at all. Just strode forward, hugged the daughter-in-law who had just been pushed away, and asked in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Xia Xiaoyuan's sudden appearance was unexpected, and that behavior was even more disgraceful, so the scene of Yan Yan who was still laughing just now became silent. And the men who were just congratulating their darts looked at the woman who kept shrugging and moving their shoulders and looked at the dart head pitifully.
