After becoming a big farmer

When Zhang He went to Xinzhou City to cause a commotion, Zhou Shuzheng and Qi Hopeful returned to Qi's house to chat with Fang Shi and Wu Shi.Although the Qi family also knew that the "black tea" created by Zhou Shu had attracted attention, the Fang family was still more concerned about how Qi Wangwang's pigs were doing.

There is nothing wrong with Qi Wangwang's big business of raising pigs, it's just that the people in the Vitality Garden found someone sneaking around outside a few days ago, and the villagers reported it directly, saying that it was someone from another village, and they wanted to find out who the Vitality Garden was. situation, and then steal pigs at night.

After Qi Wangwang found out, he ran to Lizheng to urge him to strengthen the law and order in the village, and gave money to help the family leaders and young men who hunted down the thieves, so that they could eat and drink well so that they would have the energy and strength to patrol the village.

With Qi Wangwang's care, they will inevitably go to the Vitality Garden diligently when they patrol, so gradually those petty thieves dare not approach the Vitality Garden.

While they were chatting happily, Qi Chen came back, and after hearing that Qi was expected to return with Zhou Shu, he came straight to Fang's place.

He seldom comes here at this time, Fang asked him: "Why did you come here at this hour today?"

Qi Chen said: "I heard that Zhang Qing'an came to Xinzhou City."

Zhang He is famous all over the world, even a three-year-old child knows her name, and everyone present naturally knows her name.If she just freed up some crops, it wouldn't be enough for Qi Chen to come and tell them.

Zhang He is not only an agronomist, but also a noble man who has refused to be an official many times. He is a famous man who is praised even by the emperor. Qi Chen has mostly been with people with better reputations in his life, so he naturally admires Zhang He. very.

Qi Chen didn't know why Zhang He came to Xinzhou City. He only heard that Zhang He praised the Zhou family's tea and wanted to endorse it, so he came to Fang's courtyard for this matter.

"Zhang Qing'an seems to be setting foot in Xinzhou City for the first time, why are you here?" Fang asked.

Zhang He once went to Guangzhou, and later was invited by the government to give lectures on agriculture in Hongzhou and Raozhou. However, most of the time, he devoted himself to writing books in Fuzhou. Although he also visited Guixi County in Xinzhou, he did not set foot there. Xinzhou City.

"It is said that the government invited me, but I don't know what it is for." Qi Chen said, he looked at Zhou Shu again, and talked about what happened in the teahouse today.

Zhou Shu knew that with his own identity, he had an irrelevant relationship with Zhang He, so even though he knew that she had come to Xinzhou City, he had no intention of seeking to see him.When Qi Chen mentioned this, she was flattered, needless to say, she also quickly thought of how to seize this opportunity to spread the name of Chuting black tea faster and farther!

Qi Wangwang clapped his hands on the sidelines and applauded: "Good job! That Zhang Qing'an is indeed a noble man, with discerning eyes, he can see that my wife's tea is good, and he slapped those troublemakers in the face! "

Everyone looked at her helplessly, did she get the point wrong?

Wu's focus was misled by Qi Wangwang, she said: "Could it be that someone sent that person to provoke trouble?"

"The government has already arrested the person and questioned him severely, but the Zhou family's enmity is a certainty. Does the bride have a clue?" Qi Chen asked.

Zhou Shu first thought of the Wu family, but she didn't have evidence, and she didn't dare to speak nonsense, so she shook her head.She mentioned that before she cooperated with Cao Yongzhi, the Wu family united with some big tea merchants to attack the Zhou family.

After she cooperated with Cao Yongzhi, the news spread quickly, and then the big tea merchants who had held a wait-and-see attitude came to seek cooperation.Zhou Shu had a contract with the Cao family, so naturally he would not sell them the tea making method.

Some of them also went to find Cao Yongzhi, but Cao Yongzhi also refused to reveal that behind him was the magistrate of Yushan County, and the crowd could not force him, so they planned to separate the Zhou family from the Cao family.However, Cao Yongzhi had already decided not to compete with Zhou Shu for the tea market in Xinzhou, and instead took advantage of Yushan County being closer to Quzhou to develop in Quzhou.

After a few days of silence, Zhou Shu didn't know if these people had given up, and if today's incident had their handwriting.

Qi Chen didn't expect the Zhou family's situation to be so difficult, and Zhou Shu never asked the Qi family for help. Speaking of it, Qi Chen cherished the feathers too much, and he didn't know if he would hurt the Zhou family's heart.

So Qi Chen said: "I sent someone to the Yamen to inquire about the news. If someone deliberately targets someone, I, Qi Chen, will not spare him!"

Zhou Shu was slightly surprised, Qi Chen personally promised to take care of Zhou's family, this is really the sun coming out from the west!

But after thinking about it, maybe Zhang He played a role in this, causing Qi Chen to lean towards the Zhou family a little bit?

Qi Wangwang thanked her father carelessly for Zhou Shu, then poked his nose up and said, "Father, Zhang Qing'an already knows that my wife's tea is ready, so why not help promote it, since it's all from my family anyway!"

Qi Chen stared at her, but didn't say anything.Zhou Shu also gave the Qi family a few catties of Chuting black tea, because he had never used black tea in a tea fight, so he never drank it.Qi Erlang and his wife had drank it before, and they were full of praise for the tea, but they did not attract his attention.

Since he wanted to get acquainted with Zhang He, perhaps this black tea was a good starting point.

So he didn't stay here for long before going back to brewing black tea and preparing a banquet for Zhang He.

Zhou Shu also wanted to make good use of this opportunity, so he went back to Zhou's tea shop after having lunch with Fang Shi and Wu Shi.Qi Wangwang didn't follow, she made an appointment with Zhang Fenglai to go out for tea.

Zhang Fenglai's grandfather's health has improved compared to last year. He believes that this is all because of Zhou's tea and Qi Wangwang's pig. Appetite soared, and with some medicinal soup, it naturally disappeared from last year's sickly appearance, ready to die at any time.

After old man Zhang's health improved, Zhang Fenglai didn't have to worry about his health all the time, he could study at ease, and had time to go out with Qi Wangwang.

Old man Zhang also hoped that he would go out to play more, but he didn't forget the old man's health when he went out to play, so he took Qi Wangwang to study tea.

Chuting black tea is officially launched, and Qi Wangwang also wants to know word of mouth, so he is happy to agree.The two, together with two friends, went to Li Hao Teahouse, which was a hot spot for tea fighting in the past and is also a hot topic today.

Their accompanying friend Lin Zisui asked Qi Wangwang: "You picked this place on purpose, could it be that you want to seek justice for your wife?"

Qi Wangwang said: "Fairness is of course to be sought, but everyone has already been handed over to the yamen, and this teahouse is also innocently implicated, I will not go to provoke trouble. However, I have to deal with the stigma thrown by those people no matter what. Wash my wife's tea."

Everyone laughed and entered the teahouse lively.

The teahouse is the time when the most people drink tea. Porters and pawns who are busy making a living in the morning have to find a place to eat and have a cup of tea to rest their feet.In addition to what happened in the teahouse in the morning, many people came here admiringly, so there were no vacant seats at all at this moment, and many people shared a table and shared a pot of Chuting black tea.

Li Yuanwai was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, seeing Qi Wangwang and others, he still pulled out and came to her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi Silang, Mr. Zhang Xiaoguan, are you here for tea today?"

"Li Yuanwai is all smiles, and seeing how prosperous the teahouse is, he must be earning a lot of money." Qi Wangwang said.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "No, no, a pot of tea sells for [-] Wen, and many people sell a pot with ten people together. It's a lot of money!"

Naturally, everyone would not believe his words. Qi hoped to mention what happened today. Seeing that there were many people outside, Li Yuan invited them inside to talk.Qi hoped not to care about the Zhou family's tea business, so she didn't know much about it. She just said, "We came here today to drink tea."

Li Yuanwai said: "This is very difficult. The ten pots of Chuting black tea were sold out in the morning, and now all the people who come to drink tea are for the name of Guliang tea."

Qi Wangwang proudly said: "Why should I ask you to buy tea? I brought Chuting black tea here, just want to borrow a place."

Li Yuanwai slapped his head and said with a smile: "Yes, look at my memory!"

There is no place to drink tea outside, but there is still a large garden inside where the children of upper-class families fight tea, and the Qi family will come here to fight tea occasionally.

Qi Wangwang sat down at a random place, and asked Li Yuanwai to bring hot water, and she personally made tea for Zhang Fenglai and others to drink.

Not far from them, a group of scholars in t-shirts were fighting for tea. At the moment of the decisive battle, they suddenly smelled a very mellow tea fragrance.The two people who were fighting tea were a little confused, wondering if it was the other's tea fragrance?

However, they soon discovered that the aroma was coming from the side. Some people followed the aroma curiously and found that it was Qi Wangwang and others drinking tea.

"This tea has a mellow and long-lasting aroma, come on!" the man praised.

"Is it just the top grade? This is the top grade!" Qi Wangwang smiled and handed him a cup of tea.

The man took the teacup, first he was taken aback by the bright red tea soup, then smelled it for a while, seeing the tea getting cold, he quickly took a sip.After drinking the tea soup, his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect this red soup to be so sweet, it really is the best!"

When the tea fighters heard what he said, they couldn't help but ran over to join in the fun. The two tea fighters saw that someone disturbed their competition, and they were very upset, but when they went over, they found that this was the Qi family they knew. Shiro, they didn't want to offend the Qi family for nothing, so they didn't attack, but their tone was inevitably a little sour.

Qi Wangwang didn't care, and invited everyone to sit down and share the black tea together.When Lin Zisui saw such a group of people jumping up to grab black tea from him suddenly, he hurriedly sat beside Qi Wangwang to help her pour tea, so as to refill his teacup every now and then.

Qi Wangwang saw that one of these people was very familiar, and when the other person came slowly, she said, "Cousin Chen, are you there?"

When Chen Zizai saw her, he saw him, so he had no choice but to walk up and said with a warm smile, "It's my cousin!"

"Cousin Chen, sit down and have tea together." Qi Wangwang said.

She soon had no time to pay attention to Chen Zizai, because many new readers were very curious about this tea, and asked Qi Wangwang about the origin of this tea.

Qi Wangwang asked in surprise, "Could it be that Cousin Chen didn't tell you that this is the new Chuting black tea created by the Zhou family?"

Chen Zizai's face froze, and he hurriedly said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid of affecting my cousin's plan, so I dare not reveal it to the public!"

At this time, the tea fighting duo just drank tea, and immediately knew the outcome in their hearts, and they no longer complained, but recalled: "No wonder there was a lot of noise when I entered the teahouse, and it was said that Zhang Qing'an came to Xinzhou. A pot of Chuting black tea is said to be [-] ren for a while, so it must be this tea!"

"Since it has already been published, why is Rong Shi afraid of affecting the plan? You are a cousin of the Zhou family, and now you are helping the Zhou family. Why don't you take this opportunity to recommend one or two for us?" Some scholars keenly caught Chen Zizai's attention. The loophole in the words, the attack said.

Not only did Chen Zizai not recommend Chuting black tea, he never even mentioned Zhou's tea.

He calmly argued: "I know you all because of my talent in poetry and prose. How can I do this for my own selfishness!"

Some people expressed their understanding that reading is a very sacred thing, and their friendship is also very pure and should not be affected by the world.

"People don't avoid relatives when they promote talents. Even if you think that friendship should not be used for personal gain, but this tea is so good, shouldn't you recommend it out of sharing good things with us?" The man persisted.

He couldn't get used to Chen Zizai long ago, he just felt that this person was always smiling, but he was uncomfortable getting along with him.It was probably because of his straight-forward nature that he couldn't get along with a deep-minded person like Chen Zizai, but he couldn't get rid of him because of his friends' presence. Now he found an opportunity!

Chen Zizai's complexion changed, he looked aggrievedly at those scholars who understood him just now.Someone rushed out to speak for him, and the atmosphere slowly returned.

Qi Wangwang was very happy to watch the play. Ever since he knew that Chen Zizai and her third brother had known each other for a long time, but Chen Zizai never mentioned it in front of the Zhou family. Even in the Zhou family, there was no mention of this matter.

In short, he had countless opportunities to say that he and Qi Sanlang actually knew each other, but he just didn't say it, if it wasn't true, then it was deliberately concealing it.

According to his usual style of doing things, and making friends with scholars everywhere, Ji Ji Ying Ying is not at all like Qing Gao.

So she didn't intend to speak for Chen Zizai.

When she went to find Zhou Shu at night, she mentioned this matter to Zhou Shu.Zhou Shu didn't say anything, the two returned to Zhou's house, and Chen went to Zhou Shu to complain that Qi Wangwang didn't speak for Chen Zizai today, making Chen Zizai lose face.

Zhou Shu didn't intend to pursue it at first, but Chen Zizai, the villain, filed a complaint first and said that Qi Wangwang was wrong in front of Mrs. Chen. Zhou Shu couldn't help it, and asked Mrs. Chen directly: "Is my cousin really helping the Zhou family? Do you think that the Zhou family coerced him with kindness and asked him to help?"

Chen said: "How could he be such a person? How can you judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"Then he came to help the Zhou family without any complaints and sincerity, but why did he help? Chu Tinghong just came out and needs to accumulate word-of-mouth and popularity most. He would have thought about helping to recommend Chu Tinghong to him Those friends?"

"he--"

"Mother, don't tell me that he doesn't want the world to stain his relationship with his friends because of his integrity as a scholar. If he really has the pride of a scholar, then he shouldn't help the Zhou family. He should be tougher and go back to study. I don't care about money, and I also despise the Zhou family who came from merchants!"

"You!" Chen Shi was anxious.

"A person who works in the Zhou family's tea garden does not think about how to generate income for the tea garden. Instead, he cares about his reputation. Even if he is really the person in charge of the tea garden, who can believe that he can sell the tea garden Develop and grow? Do you believe me?"

It was the first time Chen Shi saw Zhou Shu angry, and she was also speechless by what she said so sharply.

"Shiro just watched with cold eyes because he was upset for Zhou's family. Although Shiro didn't defend him, does mother know how hard Shiro has put in for Zhou's tea for so long?"

Chen's face was a little shamed by what she said, and she couldn't help muttering: "If you don't tell me, how will I know."

Zhou Yuanwai, who heard the quarrel between the mother and daughter, couldn't help standing up after hearing this: "There is no need to say these things. I have seen it done by the bed."

The two were taken aback, Zhou Yuanwai took a look at Zhou Shu, and said, "This is your mother, be careful when you speak."

Although Zhou Shu was relieved, his tone was not heavy, nor did he mean to reprimand him.Zhou Shu hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen naturally didn't care about it in front of Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Shu talked to Zhou Yuanwai, and then handed over the place to her father.

Zhou Yuanwai also said a few words about Mrs. Chen: "You are alienating the relationship between the husband and wife. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."

Mrs. Chen wanted to argue, but Zhou Yuanwai said: "As for Zizai, if he doesn't want to recommend Zhou's tea to his friends, then he shouldn't recommend it. I, Zhou Fang, won't threaten him with this!"

Chen's heart sank a bit, although Zhou Yuanwai said he would not force Chen Zizai, but the Zhou family would not give him much position in the future.
