After becoming a big farmer

In the end, Qi Sanlang didn't go with Chen Jianjiao to fly the paper kite, but he stood aside to watch her fly the paper kite.Looking at the paper kite in the sky, and seeing the smile on Chen Jianjiao's face, his heart was slightly touched.

After returning to Biezhuang, he silently came to Qi Wangwang who was doing the calculation, watched silently for a while, and found that Qi Wangwang's abacus calculation ability was so poor that she often had to rewrite it on paper. Do the math again.

Qi Sanlang couldn't understand what Qi Wangwang was calculating on paper, he said, "You haven't learned arithmetic all these years?"

Qi Wangwang was taken aback, and her calculations were disrupted by her.

"Why are you walking silently? I don't know how to call, but it scared me."

Qi Sanlang said with disgust: "As timid as a mouse, worse than a woman."

"Who do you discriminate against! It's obviously you who didn't say hello, and you still blame the woman?"

Qi Sanlang grinned, with a sneering look on his face: "You say you are bad at arithmetic, where are you talking?"

Qi Wangwang hummed: "I'm not bad at arithmetic, I just don't know how to use abacus very much!"

"Then what are you talking about?"

"Calculate my income and expenditure accounts for raising pigs! Although someone will do the calculations for me, but as the owner of Vitality Garden, how can I not know the specific accounts?"

After Qi Wangwang finished speaking, Qi Sanlang didn't speak.After a while, he couldn't help but ask again: "What's the relationship between that little lady and you?"

"Sister Chen? She is Miss Zhou's cousin, and she is my friend." After Qi Wangwang finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed something, "Third brother, you..."

Qi Sanlang put on a cold face: "I'm worried that if you get too close, it will damage the reputation of the little lady, so I just asked this question."

"How can we ruin our reputation if we communicate with each other openly in broad daylight?"

Qi Sanlang didn't intend to continue to argue with her, and got up to leave. Qi Wangwang didn't understand why he suddenly came to inquire about Chen Jianjiao, and ignored him.

He took two steps, then turned back and asked, "Does she often come to see you?"

"It's not very often. Zhou's tea is nearby. Usually, when Miss Zhou comes over, she will be there." After Qi Wangwang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rolled up the account book and ran out.

She is really stupid. She has lost her eyesight to figure out how to keep accounts by herself. Now there is a good teacher who can teach her how to make account books. Why should she look far away!

Qi Wangwang ran to look for Zhou Shu, but Zhou Shu was a bit busy. Besides Li Yuan, there were other tea merchants who were also very interested in Zhou's spring tea, so they set a date to come here for inspection. busy greeting them.

Fortunately, there are many things that Guanshi Li can do on his behalf. After Zhou Shu handed over many tea merchants to Li Guanshi to greet him, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.But before he could rest, he saw Qi Wangwang running towards him bouncing around.

"Little lady, can you teach me how to make an account book?" Qi Wangwang never knew what euphemism was, so he went straight to the point.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly and refused, "Not good."

Qi Wangwang didn't seem willing to believe that Zhou Shu would reject her, so she asked, "Why not?"

Zhou Shu laughed and said, "Is there no one in the Qi family who can help Qi Silang make up the account books?"

"If I leave everything to others and become a hands-off shopkeeper, I don't know if I will lose all my net worth someday!" She asked again, "I don't know how to make account books, the only thing I can think of is Just count the little lady. Why won't the little lady teach me?"

Zhou Shu said angrily: "Don't wear a high hat, I've been busy with my affairs recently, and I really don't have time to teach you how to make account books."

Qi Wangwang took a look at the tea merchants outside, and she felt confident, so she stopped pestering her and said, "My lady's spring tea this year seems to be selling very well."

Under the promotion of Li Yuanwai, the spring tea of ​​Chating Chashan has indeed gained a lot of reputation in the spring tea market of Xinzhou City.

However, there was no joy on Zhou Shu's face. The only spring tea from Zhou's family that could gain such a reputation was the spring tea from Chating Chashan. The spring tea produced in other tea gardens was the same as in previous years. .

Therefore, selling out all the spring tea from other tea gardens is just filling up the accounts that have been invested in the new tea garden in the past three years. Only the spring tea from Chating Chashan can bring a little profit to the Zhou family.

Zhou Shu will not be complacent about this little profit, she has to consider more long-term things.

"The spring tea in Chating Chashan sells well, but judging from the current sales volume of other spring teas, there will still be a lot of old tea that needs to be processed at a low price in the coming year."

Disposing of last year's old tea at a low price can also make a small profit for the Zhou family, but the reputation of the Zhou family's tea has never been improved. If it is not inevitable, Zhou Shu really does not want to do this.

Qi Wangwang said: "Does the young lady know how the butcher sells pork?"

Zhou Shu looked at her curiously, wondering if she had any wonderful ideas.

"There are eleven types of meat on pigs according to the region, such as pork neck, tenderloin, pork belly, front and rear legs...and pork offal, etc. Pork belly is the most popular among ordinary people, and it is also the fastest-selling one. At the end of the sale, there will always be some scraps left over, such as pig offal. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency and try to sell a pig as much as possible, butchers often bundle consumption. That is, when buying a catty of pork belly, they will be paired with some pig offal. ..."

Zhou Shu understood: "You mean, let me sell spring tea from Chating Chashan mixed with spring tea from other places?"

Qi Wangwang said: "Selling top quality tea and ordinary tea together will only lower the grade of top quality tea, how can they be mixed together?"

Zhou Shu just wanted to see if Qi Wangwang was the kind of opportunistic person, it seemed that she was worrying too much, this is an upright master who would defend his rights for a long time after tasting the tea.

"What I mean is, you give a name to the spring tea from Chating Chashan, and another name to the spring tea produced in other tea gardens. If you buy other spring teas that are tens of catties, you will buy spring tea from Chating Chashan. , you can get a better discount." Qi hoped to think of those marketing methods of later generations, and felt that there was nothing wrong with using them here.

"If I were a tea merchant, I would not only cater to the rich and powerful, but also many ordinary people who also need tea. Buying those ordinary spring teas will not affect my business. On the contrary, I can Buy the best spring tea at a lower price, why not do it?"

Zhou Shu seriously thought about the feasibility of this method. In fact, she had also considered this method before, but Zhou's tea had no special selling point, so this idea had to be shelved.

Now the tea from Chating Chashan is the selling point, she can indeed use the spring tea from Chating Chashan to drive the sales of other spring teas.

"It seems that my eyesight is stupid, and I didn't know that Qi Silang was also a good businessman." Zhou Shu said with a smile, and he praised Qi Wangwang from the bottom of his heart.

Qi Wangwang borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Little lady, I have a good idea for you, can you teach me how to make an account book?"

Zhou Shu scolded with a smile: "You are not willing to suffer at all. Well, if I don't teach you, it will appear that I am ungrateful. But right now I really don't have time, if I have time someday, I will teach you."

Qi Wangwang was not in a hurry for this moment, and said happily: "It's a deal!"

-

After some discussions, Zhou Shu and Zhou Yuanwai decided that it would be a good choice to give the tea from Chating Chashan another name.

Because the tea of ​​Chating Chashan is very different from the ordinary tea in Xinzhou, it can be said to be a newly created tea. If you want people to remember this kind of tea, you must have a catchy and high-end atmosphere. name.

After much deliberation, the father and daughter finally decided on "Chuting Tea" named after the Chuting Township where the tea garden is located, and used it to distinguish the tea leaves from different tea gardens.

After being packaged by Zhou's family, "Chuting Tea" gradually became famous in Xinzhou. Even Qi Chen, who was used to drinking various famous teas, would occasionally mention this tea with his friends.

When Qi Chen first came back, just like Qi Erlang at the beginning, he looked down on Zhou's tea, and he didn't change his mind until he took a sip while sitting at Fang's.

In his opinion, the tea making method of "Chuting tea" is indeed not as good as most famous teas, but the reason why "Chuting tea" caught his attention was that he found that there was no spice added to the tea, but it tasted delicious. But it is quite refreshing. Drinking some when he is sleepy at night can make him concentrate on reading until the third watch.

He is over half a hundred years old, and his energy and spirit are no longer as good as when he was a young man, but "Chu Ting Tea" just reminds him of his youthful vigor.Even though he never praised the tea on the face, he would drink a cup every day.

Qi Erlang knew his preference, and "Chuting tea" became one of the regular teas in the Qi family. Zhou Yuanwai was very happy because of the stable business of the Qi family. Whenever Qi was expected to visit the Zhou family, he would Greet them warmly.

Chen Zizai saw Yuanwai Zhou's attitude in his eyes, and became more and more sure that his uncle must be plotting something.

He thinks that Zhou Shu's marriage is the only one that can make people calculate like this. With the status of the fourth son of the Qi family, only Zhou Shu can marry into the Qi family. The Zhou family's family property...

Chen Zizai was not quite sure how Yuanwai Zhou would deal with the Zhou family property, but what he was sure of was that Zhou Shu's dowry must be very generous.

And no matter what, he couldn't let this happen.

-

Zhou Shu's promise that Jiao Qi was expected to create an account book was not fulfilled until late June.

At this time, the people had finished paying the autumn tax, and the tea picking work of the Zhou family had entered the stage of picking summer tea.

But summer tea is bitter and astringent, and the taste is not very pleasing, so the market for summer tea is not as good as that of spring tea, and the work of picking summer tea is not as much as that of spring tea. Zhou Shu spent more time thinking about how to improve summer tea. taste and sales.

She often studies tea-making methods that can improve the taste of summer tea in the tea-making workshop, and sometimes it takes a whole day to think about it.

In late June, Shinshu has already entered the rainy season. The weather is usually clear in the morning, but at noon, the wind and cloud suddenly change, and then it rains heavily.

If it was just a normal shower, the rain would stop after a while, but unfortunately, Zhou Shu encountered a particularly heavy rain, and it didn't stop for a whole day.

Although the Zhou family's carriage has a roof to protect it from the rain, it's just that the rain is so heavy that even the horses can't see the road clearly. thing.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the heavy rain didn't stop, the coachman looked at Zhou Shu and frowned, and he was also very troubled: "Little lady, if the rain is smaller, the small ones dare to go on the road, but the current rain , the little ones really dare not take risks."

Zhou Shu also knew the danger of driving in such a heavy rain, and he said with relief: "It's going to be dark, and the rain is so heavy, and the road is really unsafe. It's not your fault. I didn't blame you, so don't be so anxious."

Zhu Zhu seems to have struggled for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Little lady, it's getting dark, and there is no room for shelter in the tea shed in the tea garden, why don't we go and stay overnight!"

There is a place to stay in the tea garden, but the environment of the tea shed is not good, and there are tea-picking houses living around it, she is worried that someone will plot against Zhou Shu at night.For this reason, she felt that it would be more appropriate to spend the night at the homes of the more affluent villagers in the village.

Qi Wangwang's figure appeared in Zhou Shu's mind, but she really couldn't have the cheek to ask for her.

Fortunately, Qi Wangwang learned that the Zhou family's carriage was still in the tea garden through the servants of the Qi family, so he speculated whether Zhou Shu could not return to the city because of the heavy rain.

So she put on a coir raincoat, came to the tea garden with an oil-paper umbrella, and invited: "My little lady promised me to teach me to make account books a few months ago, but she has been busy with official duties and failed to fulfill it. Now it seems that God is going to do it for me." I want to be fair and ask me to stay."

Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing, and replied, "Then I'm afraid I'll disturb Qi Silang all night."

The author has something to say: Wangwang: As long as the little lady stays here overnight, I will—

Shu Shu: So what?

Want Want: Help, help QAQ

When I checked the information, I found that summer tea is generally used to make black tea, but black tea only appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, so... Hehehe!
