After becoming a big farmer

After the Qiqiao Festival, Zhou Shu was tired of coping with many provocations from the Wu family and the difficulties from the government. Qi hoped to go back to Chuting Township without seeing her twice.

Qi Sanlang also packed his bags and followed him to Biezhuang.This time, Qi Wangwang didn't ask him why he followed him - he wouldn't tell himself either.

Qi Wangwang still went to the tea garden to buy tea every day, but Zhou Shu didn't come here many times, instead Chen Zizai came here instead of her, and Chen Jianjiao came here occasionally with her elder brother.

Qi hoped to find that Chen Jianjiao came over and saw that her third brother was also in a bad mood. She didn't know what happened between the two, so she could only ask, "Sister Chen, did my third brother offend you?"

Chen Jianjiao glanced at Qi Sanlang, and felt that he was even more unpleasant—compared to the innocent and kind Qi Wangwang, how could he look like a gentleman!

Qi Sanlang felt ashamed in his heart, he didn't try to defend Chen Jianjiao, he just said: "It's my fault, I didn't have the right mind, and I did something against the way of a gentleman."

Qi Wangwang's eyes widened: "Third brother, what did you do?"

"Gossip about other people." Qi Sanlang lowered his eyes with regret.

Hearing this, Chen Jianjiao felt pity again, and felt that he wasn't that bad. Apart from selfishly concealing that this "other" was Qi Wangwang and her elder sister who were in front of him, he was honest and sincere.

Considering that if she tells the truth now, she might be suspected of stirring up a wedge between the two brothers, and Qi Wangwang might think too much.Since Qi Sanlang already knew his mistake and did not wantonly go around to slander the reputation of the two of them, she did not mention that matter with Qi Wangwang.

Qi Wangwang thought that he had done something to insult Chen Jianjiao's reputation, but he didn't expect that he was talking about people's right and wrong.While heaving a sigh of relief, he said: "Then third brother, you are quite free."

Not planning to worry about the entanglement between her third brother and Chen Jianjiao, she asked Chen Jianjiao if Zhou Shu had come.

Chen Jianjiao shook his head, and said, "Sister, I've been too busy recently, and I'm here with my elder brother."

Qi Wangwang was slightly disappointed, Qi Sanlang finally raised his eyes to face her: "Don't you know about the Zhou family?"

Qi Wangwang's heart tightened, he had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the Zhou family?"

Qi Sanlang looked at Chen Jianjiao, with a hint of inquiry: "Can I say it? Is it considered gossip?"

Chen Jianjiao rolled his eyes at him, and said proactively: "It's nothing serious, but the tea shop thinks that the Zhou family monopolizes the name 'Chu Ting Tea', which is not in compliance with the rules, so they force them to change the name. Now my uncle and sister are dealing with this matter. Uncle's health is getting worse again, and the burden on sister is even heavier."

He secretly murmured in his heart: If it wasn't for this, my aunt would not have found a chance to transfer power from her and arranged for my elder brother to come and take care of the tea garden.

Thinking of Zhou Shu being bullied by others, Qi Wangwang was furious and said, "Nonsense, then Qinghe Rice is also named after Qinghe, why can't Chuting Tea be named after Chuting Township?! Besides, most of the famous teas in the world are named after places, so why can’t it be Zhou’s turn?”

Qi Sanlang glanced at her, and said: "Qinghe rice is named after the common people, and those famous teas with place names are not from one family's tea. The difficulty for the Zhou family is that if the tea produced in Chuting Township can be called Chuting Tea, those who have evil intentions can use this name to slander the Zhou family's tea."

Chen Jianjiao did not expect that Qi Sanlang's analysis was thorough, which was similar to what she knew from her uncle and sister.

Qi Wangwang frowned: "That's so simple, so we took the tea tree from Chating Chashan as the new species and named it the newly invented tea, and named it outside of Chuting Township, such as 'Zhou's Chuting Zhenxiang Tea' , 'Zhou's Chuting Chating Tea', and then engrave the name of 'Zhou's Chuting Tea' on the tea packaging to distinguish it!"

Chen Jianjiao was surprised and a little sour in her heart - Qi Silang's thoughts coincided with her elder sister's thoughts.

The smile on her face was very sweet: "Sister also thinks the same way, so a few days ago, people collected tea trees from many places and went back to study them. If they can find a difference from the tea trees, then they can report to the government. Application for identification of new tea species."

Qi Wangwang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so he asked Qi Sanlang, "Does the third brother know how the tea shop is related to the Wu family?"

"Which Wu family?"

"It's the fat Wu family who claims to be the largest tea garden household in Xinzhou."

"Since his Wu family is the largest tea garden household in Xinzhou, the tea shop will probably follow the Wu family's lead. After all, the Wu family will bring more benefits to the tea shop."

Qi Wangwang understood that the Wu family must have taken a fancy to Chating Tea Mountain, but instead of directly proposing to buy it, they used some despicable means to suppress the Zhou family. You can get Chating Chashan for whatever you pay.

Qi Sanlang and Chen Jianjiao also recalled it, and asked: "Do you think this has something to do with the Wu family?"

"There is no evidence, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions." Qi Wangwang shook his head, looking quite old-fashioned.

Chen Jianjiao didn't press the question either.

After a while, seeing that it had been a long time since she left the tea garden, she bid farewell.Qi Sanlang made an excuse to send her back, and followed her one step away.

Chen Jianjiao didn't talk to him, he held back for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Chen still refuses to forgive me?"

Chen Jianjiao recovered from her thoughts and asked, "What did you just say?"

Qi Sanlang's heart was bubbling with sourness, he took out a white hairpin, and said in a low and deep voice, "This is an apology, but also a thank you gift, I hope you can accept it."

Chen Jianjiao didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked, "What kind of apology, why is it a thank you?"

"You're still angry with me. It's my fault for making you angry, so I want to make amends. Thank you for waking me up, so it's a thank you gift."

Chen Jianjiao hesitated for a moment, and then pushed back the hairpin: "My anger is gone, and I don't think I have any credit for it. I will not be rewarded for my merits, so I dare not accept this seemingly precious hairpin."

Qi Sanlang didn't give up, but Chen Jianjiao didn't seem to be moved. Seeing that the tea pavilion and tea mountain were coming, Qi Sanlang had no choice but to give up and put the hairpin back.

-

Qi Wangwang was always worried about the troubles that Zhou Shu would encounter next time, and she also asked people to collect a lot of tea trees to study, but she was good at observing and studying animals, but not in plants.

After looking at it for a long time, she didn't see any difference between these tea trees. She boredly picked two tea leaves and chewed them in her mouth.After chewing, I immediately found the difference between the tea trees: other tea leaves are a bit bitter and astringent when eaten raw, like eating grass, but the tea leaves from Chating Chashan have a sweet taste.

She remembered that she ate raw tea leaves when she first came to Chating Tea Mountain. The taste of the tea leaves at that time seemed not as sweet and fresh as it is now.

She couldn't figure it out, so she went to visit Zhou's house.

Zhou Shu is still not there, but Zhou Yuanwai is at home, and he entertains Qi Wangwang.

Qi Wangwang first cared about the health of Yuanwai next week, and then gave him the tea leaves from Chating Chashan, saying: "If it is about tasting the tea that has been made, I will not give up, but when it comes to the tea that has not been made, I am I don’t know anything, I don’t know what the original taste of tea is.”

The father and daughter of the Zhou family have been busy identifying new tea varieties recently. Of course, Zhou Yuanwai has already tasted the taste of different tea trees in Xinzhou. The tea leaves are definitely different."

As he said that, he brought out the summer tea produced in Chating Chashan for Qi Wangwang to taste, and then compared it with the spring tea from other tea gardens.Qi Wangwang found out after drinking it: "The summer tea from Chating Chashan is less sweet and mellow than that spring tea, but it is also much less bitter and heavy than other summer teas."

"Qi Silang is a good tea appraiser!" Member Zhou praised with a smile, and he was more and more satisfied with Qi Hope, but it's a pity that his daughter's words kept lingering in his mind, which made him feel a little regretful.

Thinking of this, his heart and lungs were itchy, and he couldn't help coughing hard, trying to replace the itching with the pain of coughing.

Qi Wangwang hurriedly asked: "How is Zhou Yuanwai, do you want to help hire a doctor?"

Member Zhou coughed for a long time before waving his hands and said, "No need, I'm used to it, and it will be fine after a cough."

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Qi Wang didn't dare to bother him any more, so he wanted to leave.Member Zhou hurriedly left her behind, and said, "Qi Silang, walk slowly, I have something to ask for your help."

Qi Wangwang asked hesitantly: "What can I help with?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Yuanwai's face, but considering the Zhou family's situation, he had no choice but to brazenly say, "If I have no choice, I don't want to bother Qi Silang either. It seems that the tea shop and the government have been targeting Zhou all the time. I want to suppress the Zhou family... It's all because of the popularity of the Zhou family's new tea, which aroused the jealousy of my peers! Because of this, Shu Shu hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and it's dark every day I got up and didn't rest until three o'clock. It's useless to be my father, if it weren't for my weak body and stubborn illness, I wouldn't make her so tired..."

Zhou Yuanwai didn't get to the point, but Qi Wangwang seemed to understand what he meant.

After pondering for a moment, he asked him: "If I help, will the little lady be happy?"

Zhou Yuanwai paused for a moment, he knew his daughter very well, although in business, in order to make a living for the family, he must use some means.It is precisely because she has such a hard heart and means that she helped him support the Zhou family's tea business.

But his daughter is different in business than in private. In private, she is not such an iron-blooded person, and also values ​​feelings. Even if her mother hurt her many times, she still wants to be recognized by the other party.Few people can win her favor, and for those who can be accepted by her, she often doesn't calculate anything about them.

So the details of how she got along with Qi Wangwang, in his opinion, is the proof that Zhou Shu accepted Qi Wangwang.And she is so strong that she will never rely on Qi Wangwang to come forward to solve this matter.

Zhou Yuanwai's silence also let Qi Wangwang know the answer, she said: "When the little lady objects to me interfering in her affairs, I will not intervene, but I can't just watch her suffer and suffer without being indifferent... ..."

Rolling his eyes, he said again, "Fortunately, I'm not helping the little lady, I'm helping Zhou Yuanwai."

Zhou Yuanwai was startled, and then he showed a wry smile. He was grateful to Qi Wangwang, but also a little ashamed.This complex emotion made him feel even more uncomfortable, and he coughed violently.

Seeing him like this, Qi Wang quickly went to find a doctor for him, and left after the doctor gave him a diagnosis and treatment.

-

After Zhou Shu returned home, Mrs. Chen took her and cried, "Yanniang, your father invited a doctor here again today. I am too worried about his body, but I am also worried about your life..."

Zhou Shu was frightened when he heard that his father hired a doctor, so he went to see him and found that he was fine.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Member Zhou waved his hand: "It's nothing, the doctor just came and gave me two needles, and I'm much better."

Zhou Shu felt a little relieved, but when he heard his mother's crying, he felt a headache again.

Zhou Yuanwai couldn't help but speak more seriously: "Why are you crying, I'm not dead yet!"

Mrs. Chen stopped crying, and looked at Zhou Shu anxiously, only waiting to persuade her to consider life-long affairs.

Zhou Shu wanted to avoid her, so he just chatted with Zhou Yuanwai for a while, and when she learned that Qi Wangwang had come, she thought that Qi Wangwang was here to chat with her again, thinking that maybe Qi Wangwang would not see her if he didn't see her. I went home by myself, so I didn't ask carefully.

It's just that when I think about treating Qi Wangwang like a man, I feel uncomfortable again. If I can treat each other honestly, maybe the relationship will not be so restricted.

Zhou Shu didn't go back to deal with things until Zhou Yuanwai was about to rest.After two days, Zhou Yuanwai's health improved, and he was able to go out for a walk. The father and daughter discussed the matter of the tea garden again.

Zhou Shu had already collected tea trees from Chating Tea Mountain as materials for new tea varieties. Considering that the government might be picky, she also added an extra step in the tea making process. "The process of the move.

When she was ready, she asked someone to change all the packaging of Zhou's tea leaves to the name of "Zhou's Chuting Guliang Tea", and the new tea variety was named "Guliang".

"Guliang" is actually taken from Guliangxi, a nearby river. Because the water that irrigates the tea mountain in the tea pavilion is taken from Guliangxi, it is named so directly.

Although they are also the names of mountains and rivers, there is a difference between the two, because new tea varieties are different from other tea varieties, so there are rules for renaming. On this point, the controversy of naming is not very big.

When Wu Xiaozong learned of Zhou Shu's plan, he gritted his teeth in hatred: "The Zhou family hid him!"

On the contrary, his son Wu Tonggao was not worried at all, instead he persuaded him: "Dad, did the Zhou family say that it is a new tea variety?"

Wu Xiaozong asked: "What do you mean?"

Wu Tonggao said: "The Zhou family's tea species are not different from our tea species at all. If you say it is a new tea category, it means that you have made some innovations in the tea-making process. At that time, the government will definitely inspect the process, regardless of the Zhou family's tea. Whether it passes the inspection or not is of great benefit to us!"

Wu Xiaozong thought for a moment, and suddenly showed a treacherous smile: "My son is still thoughtful. As long as the Zhou family passes the inspection, it means that we can also know the newly created tea-making process..."

The father and son were still discussing how to deal with the Zhou family, when they heard the steward running back sweating profusely, saying: "The big thing is not right!"

Wu Xiaozong immediately scolded in displeasure: "What's wrong, crow's mouth!"

The steward closed his mouth, not knowing how to speak, until Wu Tong shouted at him, and he said truthfully: "We are in the tea garden in Hucun Township, and the water source has been blocked!"

"Who is so bold to block our water source? If it is blocked, you won't find someone to unblock it?" Wu Xiaozong scolded.

The steward said: "The little one said that the Zhang family closed the weir gate and stopped us from using it, and even sued us!"

Wu Xiaozong jumped up in shock, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The steward explained the matter in detail.

Although the Wu family is the head of the largest tea garden household in Xinzhou and owns a large area of ​​tea gardens, it can be said that land and water resources are controlled by more powerful landlords.These powerful landlords often pay to repair the weirs and gates, and then the overbearing ones will occupy the weirs and gates. Generally, even the local government may not be able to do anything about these powerful landlords.

The water source that the Wu family's tea garden relies on is not a natural river or lake, but a two-mile-long ditch dug by Zhang's family, an upper-class household in Hucun, in order to facilitate their own tenants to irrigate their farmland. The first ditch is the Zhang family.

The Wu family's tea garden is close to the Zhang family's field. When he saw the Zhang family's old man was sick, and there was only one grandson beside him. The old and the young were just paper tigers, so he took advantage of it. The Zhang family has been using it for many years water to irrigate the tea plantations.

All these years have been peaceful and peaceful, why is it that the Zhang family suddenly cares about this matter at this time? ——Although the Zhang family has ignored this matter over the years, he has gradually not taken the Zhang family seriously, but after all, the old man Zhang has not passed away, and he has some connections in the state government office. It is also troublesome to be clear about this matter.

So he hurriedly let his son go to Zhang's family, and he would be courteous first and then soldier. It would be best if he could talk peace, but if he couldn't, his Wu family must not just admit defeat.

Wu Tonggao knew that the Zhang family also had a mansion in the city, so he went directly to the Zhang family to ask for an interview.

The grandson of the Zhang family met him. Looking at the proud young man with cold eyes, his heart was already full of anger: What kind of thing is your Zhang family? It already looks dilapidated. Why do you despise me?

But his face was quite enthusiastic: "Mr. Zhang Xiaolang, how is old man Zhang?"

Zhang Fenglai's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was also indifferent: "Lao Wu Dalang is concerned, and Ah Weng is very good."

But Wu Tonggao didn't believe this. Everyone in Xinzhou City knew that the old man of the Zhang family lost his son and even his daughter-in-law.And Zhang Fenglai, the young master of the Zhang family, was still young and unable to take charge, so that the Zhang family had a look of decay early on.

The old man of the Zhang family was already in poor health, and now that he's getting older, it's no wonder he can live for a long time!

"If Wu Dalang came here for the weir gate, then I advise you not to waste your words."

All Wu Tonggao's words were stuck in his throat. He held back for a long time and asked, "Why did you do this to my Wu family?"

Zhang Fenglai looked at him like looking at an ant, and didn't even bother to explain the real reason, just said: "You Wu family bullied my Zhang family with only one old man and me who was young and innocent, took advantage of our Zhang family, and even often made To seize the water source, the Wu family’s tea garden must be used first, before it can be used by my Zhang family’s tenant farmers. I didn’t argue with you about these things before, so I really don’t know, or am I afraid of you?”

Wu Tonggao recalled what his father said, "be polite first, then fight". He just wanted to threaten, when he saw a silver-haired old man come out, his old eyes were sharp and deep, as if he was going to goug out his flesh and bones.

"This is our Zhang family's decision. What's the matter, go to the Yamen and say it!" The silver-haired old man yelled angrily, and Wu Tonggao turned around and ran away in fright.

It was only when he came out of Zhang's house that he came back to his senses, secretly cursing himself for being scared out of his wits because he saw the old man of Zhang's family going down to the ground? !

"Didn't you say that the old man of the Zhang family didn't die for a few years? Why is he still alive?!"

If he was only facing Zhang Fenglai, he wasn't so afraid. After all, the old man Zhang was lying on the bed and couldn't pay attention to the outside world, so those old friends couldn't help him much.But if he showed up, those old friends of his would definitely help out of his face.

Wu Tonggao had no choice but to go back to discuss countermeasures with his father.

-

As soon as Wu Tonggao left, the silver-haired old man's sharp eyes immediately retracted, showing his old-fashioned appearance.Zhang Fenglai hurried over to help him sit down, and said, "Why did Ah Weng come out?"

"Come out to get some air." The silver-haired old man said, he looked at the screen separating the two sides of the hall, and said with a smile, "People have already left, come out quickly!"

After a while, a head poked out from behind the screen, Wu Liu's eyes rolled around, and there was no sign of Wu Tonggao, so he popped out.

"Then the Wu family came quickly." Qi Wangwang said.

Zhang Fenglai glanced at her and was not polite: "You are not slow in coming."

Qi Wangwang thanked them with a smile, but Zhang Fenglai still had that aloof and arrogant look, and said, "If you hadn't come to beg me, I wouldn't have interfered with how the Wu family would deal with the Zhou family."

Qi Wangwang said: "Last time you ordered five catties of new tea at Zhou's house, and after listening to Mr. Zhang, you went to buy another ten catties. Because of the ten catties of new tea, you almost got into an argument with someone in the street... Even if you don't care about it... Our friendship is based on these tea leaves, you can't be so ruthless!"

Zhang Fenglai felt ashamed when he thought that he almost scolded people like a commoner or a shrew.However, for those tea leaves, he couldn't control so much anymore.

His grandfather loved to drink tea, but he was in poor health and couldn't drink much, so there was no tea at home.That day, he passed by Zhou's tea shop, smelled the fragrance of tea, walked in, and bought some new tea by accident.

After buying it back, the old man occasionally brewed tea to drink. At first, he just thought the taste of the tea was good, but after drinking it a few times, he found that the discomfort in his body was lessened.

The old man told him about it. He knew that tea was not a medicine, and it was impossible to save lives and cure diseases, but he still had a glimmer of hope, and went to Zhou's tea shop again to buy five catties of tea.

Later, the old man's health did get better day by day, and Zhang Fenglai became a loyal customer of Zhou's tea.

He naturally didn't want such good tea to be gone, but when Qi Wangwang first came to look for him, he thought that as long as the tea garden was still there, he would still have a chance to buy that kind of tea, so he didn't plan to take care of it.

Qi Wangwang said to him, "Are you sure that the Wu family's tea-making technique is the same as that of the Zhou family's tea-making process? Otherwise, why does the tea that is also produced in Chuting Township taste different from the Zhou family's?"

Only then did Zhang Fenglai pay attention to it, and after obtaining the consent of the old man, he agreed to help Qi Wangwang.It happened that there was a tea garden in the Wu family that used the water source of his Zhang family, so he started from here.

Instead of refuting Qi Wangwang's words, he asked her bluntly: "We have known each other for so long, and I have never seen you ask anyone to do something... Why didn't you ask the Qi family to help this time, but you asked me?"

Qi Wangwang propped his chin to watch the paintings on the screen in the hall of the Zhang family, and said: "If the Qi family comes forward, the Wu family will not dare to say anything, but this is my private matter, and I decided to help the Zhou family, so I can't rely on it." The strength of the Qi family depends on my connections and abilities."

Old Man Zhang listened to him and nodded his head: "Brother Chun has become more mature and stable."

Zhang Fenglai twitched his mouth: "You are not after the Zhou family's tea, but the Zhou family's little lady, right? The Zhou family's little lady is not more precious than the Zhou family's tea?"

Qi Wangwang raised a smile: "That's natural. Only with Mrs. Zhou can there be tea from the Zhou family."

-

Zhou Shu successfully passed the inspection by the government, and obtained the government's approval for the new tea species. The name of "Zhou's Chuting Guliang Tea" was officially settled.

In addition, she also got news that the Wu family and the Zhang family had a quarrel over water conservancy issues, and there was no time to put pressure on the tea shop to deal with the Zhou family.

This gave Zhou Shu a chance to breathe and fight back.Chen's family also showed a smile at home, thinking that Zhou's family will never stop, Zhou Shu was overjoyed, but had a little doubt - at the moment when Wu's family was dealing with Zhou's family, something happened suddenly to Wu's family, how could it be such a coincidence?

The author has something to say: After this incident, it is estimated that it will be soon...

Wow, Zhang Fenglai appeared on the stage before, do you still remember?

-

Two-in-one, it’s an added bonus, everyone should praise the instant noodles!

-

Regarding tea, I am not a knowledgeable person. I always check the information, so it is inevitable that I have my own imagination, so don't worry about it.
