Chapter 87: Buying Tea.
The stall is very small, occupying only a small bench place, and it can't even be considered a stall.
The thin girl is the stall owner here, she is not very old, and her hair is yellow.
She didn't shout like the people next to her, but squatted on the ground, looking at the small cloth bag on the bench in front of her.
Ruan Jiaojiao was interested in the contents of her small cloth bag, which contained a bag of green tea with a flat and smooth shape, like a dragon well.
The picking time of the tea is different, and the frying method is not good, some are tender and some are old, some look dark and green, and some appear black in color.
"Hello comrade, can I take a little and take a look?"
Ruan Jiaojiao bent down and asked the little girl who was still in a daze.
The little girl seemed to be startled by the sudden sound and hurriedly stood up.
Because she stood too violently, she was a little dizzy and almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Ruan Jiaojiao helped her in time, so that she could calm down and there was no accident.
Her eyes moved from the white jade hand holding her arm to the owner of the jade hand, and the little girl hurriedly broke free of her arm as if she had been burned.
As if sensing that she was so ambiguous, she stammered helplessly, "No...... I, I'm dirty. Thank you......" She remembered what Ruan Jiaojiao asked at the beginning, and quickly wiped her hand on her pants, picked up the small cloth bag and handed it to Ruan Jiaojiao, "Whatever you want!" I picked it all myself! My dad fried it! ”
"I'm sorry for you." After Ruan Jiaojiao finished speaking, she twisted two tea leaves with her fingers in the bag with her fingers, and put them on the tip of her nose to sniff after careful observation.
It's indeed a dragon well, and it's not an ordinary dragon well.
After such a rough frying, you can still smell the faint floral fragrance of the tea leaves, which shows that the tea tree itself is very extraordinary.
If you change to an experienced person to fry it, the price of the final product may be higher than the top orchid-scented Longjing in later generations.
Ji Huai'an didn't need to ask, and after noticing Ruan Jiaojiao's intentions, he spoke directly: "I want all of this, what ticket do you want to exchange?" ”
The little girl's black and white eyes instantly lit up incrediblely, she looked around, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in a low voice: "Can I exchange for industrial vouchers?" ”
seemed to feel that her asking price was too ruthless, and she hurriedly added, "It's okay to give something else, there is a total of seven taels of pounds here, I weighed it at home." ”
The clothes on the little girl's body were extremely ill-fitting, not to mention the pudding, the original long sleeves worn on her body also became three-quarter sleeves, the position of the shoulders was collapsed very tightly, and the hem of the dress was too short, and several pieces of cloth of different colors were also connected.
She stirred the hem of her clothes with both hands at this time, and her eyes lost the joy at the beginning, only apprehension.
I want industrial vouchers because the price of industrial vouchers remains high on the black market, and one can be sold for more than two yuan, which is the most sought-after ticket, whether you buy a radio or a television.
The little girl is not a lion with a big mouth, once she went to the black market with tea, and someone offered a price of two dollars and five, but unfortunately the transaction was not completed, and she was notified that the red armband was coming, and everyone scattered and fled.
After that, she never met that person again.
She's not stupid, though.
The man is willing to pay two yuan five, which means that the price of his own tea must be higher than two yuan five.
If it weren't for the fact that the tuition fees for the second half of the year had not yet been settled, and she wanted to try her luck at the bazaar, she would probably continue to go to the black market to squat.
Ruan Jiaojiao was searching for the price of tea before Ji Huai'an opened her mouth.
The top Shifeng Longjing in this era is eight yuan a catty, the little girl's tea is not fried well, and the quality is uneven, some are old and some are young, but it is still okay to give four yuan a catty.
Ji Huai'an whispered in Ruan Jiaojiao's ear about the exchange price of industrial vouchers, waiting for her to come up with an idea.
Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes moved slightly, and she found out where to exchange industrial coupons in Taogou.
One piece is three cents, and you can exchange it for ten pieces a month.
According to the expected price in her heart, Ruan Jiaojiao reached into her bag and took out the four industrial coupons she had just redeemed.
With the back of her hand facing up, she covered four small tickets in her palm to prevent outsiders from seeing, pulled the little girl's sweat-soaked hand and pasted it.
"I like these teas a lot, so I can ask if you picked them from the mountains?"
The little girl's heart was pounding, and through the gap between her hands, she saw four industrial vouchers instead of one!
Faced with Ruan Jiaojiao's question, she couldn't wait to tell her all about her situation.
"It's an old tea tree planted in my yard, a total of 12 trees! My father said that my grandfather was in the yard before he was born, and I don't know who planted it from his ancestors. I am from Chenjia Village, my name is Chen Xiaoping, and my father's name is Chen Guimao. If you are still interested in tea, I will definitely pick the best for you next year! ”
Chenjia Village, isn't this the village that the aunt mentioned at the beginning?
It is said that this village is a bit biased, and the people in the village are very poor.
"I remember, your name is Chen Xiaoping, a native of Chenjia Village." After Ruan Jiaojiao finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of two worn-out textbooks in the bamboo basket that the little girl put aside, and asked, "Are you going to school?" ”
As soon as she said this, the little girl's eyes lit up even more, "Well, I studied in high school in the commune. Thanks to your generosity, I have saved enough for my tuition, and so much more, thank you. ”
According to the introduction of the little girl just now, she is likely to be the only daughter in the family, and the father and daughter depend on each other.
Living in poverty, and being willing to provide for his daughter's schooling, shows that her father is not a foolish person.
"I wish you success in your studies. In March next year, I will let people come to your house to collect tea, you just need to take them to see the tea trees, and you don't need to worry about picking and frying. When the time comes, it's okay to still come at this price? ”
"Yes, you can! Thank you, thank you! The little girl's eyes turned red with excitement.
This means that her future tuition fees are settled, and her father no longer has to make bamboo baskets day and night.
Of course, professional things are handed over to professional people.
This is Hangzhou City, the birthplace of Longjing, and there will be no shortage of professional masters.
Twelve old tea trees, almost less than two taels of Ming Qian tea.
According to its own quality, Ruan Jiaojiao has already begun to look forward to the final product.
After saying goodbye to the little girl, Ruan Jiaojiao walked a distance before taking out a wet towel from her bag to wipe her hands.
It's not that she doesn't hate the touch with the little girl just now, but she doesn't like the sticky and greasy hands on her body.
After wiping his hands with wet wipes, Ji Huai'an took it quietly, wiped his hands clean, and put the wet wipes into his pocket.
A wet cloth made of cotton cloth is better not to litter in full view.
