After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 223 Abandoned Tea Garden
The production of tea is pitifully scarce.
After careful picking and complicated processing, a pound of wet fresh leaves may not be able to be fried into one or two ounces of finished dry tea.
Such a low output means that its price is bound to be high.
Because of this, tea naturally became a luxury item enjoyed exclusively by the rich and powerful.
For ordinary families, it is a rare thing to serve some tea when entertaining guests.
Ordinary people can only sigh at the sight of "tea".
If the government focused on building a tea garden, it would not only save the people from the danger of going up the mountain to pick tea, but would also greatly improve efficiency.
Although the price is high, it will be a win-win situation if the people of Jiangzhou can sell tea.
Bai Qingyun was puzzled. Wen Zhao was a man who cared a lot about people's livelihood. She didn't believe that he hadn't thought of such a method.
"Alas!" Wen Zhao shook his head when he heard this: "It's not that I haven't planted a tea garden before, but every year during the rainy season, the tea garden can't drain well, so the yield has never increased!"
The spring rain season is when tea trees should be growing.
However, if water accumulates for a long time, the roots will be unable to breathe, which will cause root rot.
In severe cases, it can cause the death of the entire tea tree.
“Although we have organized villagers to drain the water, the results are minimal!”
“The tea garden was already heavily indebted just from the initial investment, and ultimately had to be abandoned as the returns were poor.”
Bai Qingyun nodded in understanding. Compared with drought, tea trees are more afraid of waterlogging.
"If I have a solution, could you give me the management rights of the tea garden?"
Wen Zhao glanced at Bai Qingyun and saw that her eyes were clear. She thought for a while before answering.
"The tea garden is not far from Dayang Village, thirty miles to the east."
"The people in the nearby villages are also living in hardship. If Miss Bai has a solution, I can give the Ten Mile Tea Garden to Miss Bai."
"But... Wen also has a condition."
Bai Qingyun looked back at Wen Zhao. When this man communicated with him, he seldom referred to himself as "this official".
"Master Wen, why don't you tell me about it!"
"Let the people in the nearby villages make a living in the tea garden!" Wen Zhao knew that he was embarrassing himself, so he added, "Of course, I will also send officials to contact the local village chief and village head to contact you."
What the government couldn't do made things difficult for a little girl.
Wen Zhao's cheeks were slightly red at this moment.
But for the sake of the thousands of people in those villages, Wen Zhao still chose to speak up shamelessly.
Everything depends on human efforts. If you don't fight for it, how can you know which way is the way to survive?
Bai Qingyun, who was being "embarrassed", did not react much after hearing this, and even looked a little happy.
"That would be great, but..." Bai Qingyun thought for a moment, "What should I do if there are sneaky people among the villagers?"
Wen Zhao said simply, "If there is such a scourge, Miss Bai can tell the village head and the head of the village. If you think the handling is inappropriate, you can also tell us and expel him from the village!"
Wen Zhao knew very well what Bai Qingyun's true strength was.
Although the various improvement measures for the tea garden have not yet been officially implemented, she is full of confidence and is determined to win.
If you choose to believe Bai Qingyun at this moment, give her the space and opportunity to display her talents, and let her give it a try, maybe you will really reap unexpected surprises!
After all, success often belongs to those who dare to take risks and try new things.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhao secretly made up his mind to take a gamble - bet that Bai Qingyun could create a miracle!
"I will prepare the deed this afternoon and bring it to you in Dayang Village tomorrow!"
The tea garden was originally purchased by the government for intensive development, but later it was shelved because the benefits of the tea garden were not ideal.
The ownership of that place is still in the hands of the government.
The land deed is just a matter of giving instructions, it's not too difficult.
"In that case, I will be waiting for you all in Dayang Village!"
The people in front of the government office just happened to lead Bai Qingyun's horse over.
Bai Qingyun did not get on the horse, but held the reins and went to the store.
I thought of something on the way and walked into an empty alley. When I came out, I had a large double-layered food box in my hand.
No one saw the whole process, only the horse snorted.
"Busy!" Bai Qingyun was carrying a lunch box and saw Mrs. Su busy at the counter. The woman didn't even look at him, so Bai Qingyun had to step forward and speak in a flattering manner.
Seeing that there was still no response, he could only open the food box and said, "Oh, this freshly-made thousand-layer cake smells sweet and tastes sweet but not greasy."
He casually picked up a piece of the cake that was piled on top, handed it to Madam Su, and said, "Madam Su, would you be so kind as to try it?"
Bai Su's view of settling the accounts was blocked, so she could only look up at Bai Qingyun helplessly.
He put down the pen and ink in his hand, picked up the thousand-layer cake, and sat on the newly made sofa in the hall.
Yanyu didn't forget to say: "Hey, Miss, how come you have time to come to the store today?"
After I sat down and took a bite of the thousand-layer cake, it was exactly as the little girl said.
Seeing Bai Qingyun following up and sitting on the single sofa on her left, she continued, "Just now I saw someone in a pink dress riding a horse past the store, and I almost...thought it was a lady!"
Bai Qingyun recalled that he rode past the store at full speed, and Su Niang was about to say hello to him, but he simply passed by her because he was in a hurry.
Turning back hurriedly, he could indeed vaguely see Madam Su glaring at him angrily with her teeth gritted.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to apologize.
Bai Qingyun knew he was in the wrong and didn't want to say any more about it.
Seeing that Mrs. Su had finished the thousand-layer cake in her hand, he hurried to the front of the counter, got a plate, and handed it to Mrs. Su.
Seeing her pick up a piece, he put down the cake plate in his hand and said, "There is something going on at home tomorrow, Madam Su can close the shop for a day and go back with Uncle Yang and Kuaijiao to take a look!"
As he was speaking, Kuaijiao smelled the fragrance and ran out from the backyard in a hurry.
"Madam Su, please don't eat alone. Remember to leave some for me and Uncle Yang."
When he ran to the front hall and saw Bai Qingyun, he steadied himself and realized what he had just said and did. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Hey, Miss, you're here!"
Bai Qingyun pointed to the food box on the counter: "There's another plate over there, take it and eat with Uncle Yang!"
Seeing Kuaijiao looking at the pastries on the coffee table reluctantly, he slowly walked towards the counter.
Lady Su, who was sitting nearby, could not help herself and picked up the coveted plate of cakes and shouted at Kuaijiao: "What are you looking at? You took the cakes and went to work. Didn't you see the young lady coming? Go and make tea!"
The voice was angry.
