Mingmen Family

Chapter 61 Book Spring Tea
But tonight, Ye Hongchang and Ye Hongrong were injured, so they couldn't come. There were only the second son, the eldest grandson, and the two little beanlings from the fourth room. There were fewer males than before, and the melancholy in Ye Chongming's heart disappeared. .

How much better is his granddaughter than a litter of grandchildren in other families? The prosperity of the Ye family is just around the corner. What is there for him to be sad about?He was very much looking forward to ordering tea tomorrow, and the shocked appearance of those people when the sweet-scented osmanthus tea was released.

That must have put him in a good mood.

When it was almost Si time on the second day, Ye Chongming brought Ye Jiaxing and appeared at the door of the Affairs Department.

Book your spring tea today.

Many people were more impatient than Ye Chongming, and they came to the Affairs Department early, or lined up in front of the Affairs Department, or got together in twos and threes to chat.

And the one who talked the most was the rumors about the Ye family.

When a tea merchant in a tea shop saw Ye Chongming, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over, trying to drag him to a secluded place.

Ye Chongming's expression darkened, and he said: "If you have something to say, you can say it here. Chongming has nothing to say to others."

The man had no choice but to lower his voice and said, "How many teas are you planning to order today, brother? I said brother, if you have a lot of raw tea, can you order it for your brother? If you give all the tea to me, I will give you a piece of tea." Fifty Wen for a catty of tea, do you think it will work?"

Ye Chongming looked at him coldly, and continued walking without stopping: "No."

"Hey, Brother Ye, don't leave, the price is negotiable." The man shouted.

Ye Jiaxing stopped the person: "Old Master Wang, don't talk about it. The tea leaves that my family originally ordered are still not enough. If Old Master Wang has more, you should give us some. We will give you a hundred coins per catty, and you What do you think?"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, and taught Ye Jiaxing with a stern face: "Every child is like a family, don't joke with the old man."

Ye Chongming stopped in his tracks: "I'm not joking. Although my family has suffered a small loss, my family is very rich, and I can still afford the deposit for ordering tea. If Mrs. Wang has more money, I will pay in cash for one hundred yuan per catty."

Mrs. Wang's face froze immediately, and then she showed a embarrassed expression, and said with a dry smile: "No, not much. There are not many, haha."

As he said that, he looked at Ye Chongming with a complicated expression: "Your Ye family really has a solid foundation."

Ye Chongming was too lazy to say another word to this kind of looting person, so he snorted coldly and took his grandson to the front.

In the past two days, people have been warm and cold, and he has really seen a lot.

To reserve tea, there was supposed to be a queue.But every family will send someone to line up in advance.But the small tea merchants dare not compete with the big tea merchants, so they are naturally ranked behind.Over time, Ye Chongming became the leader of the tea line.

Anyway, every family has to book tea leaves in advance with the growers they know well. It doesn’t make much difference whether they are ranked first or last.

Seeing that Ye Chongming was flushed and full of energy, standing at the front with his head held high and his chest held high, and he didn’t look like he had settled down at all, those people who had been scruples during this time and were afraid that Ye Chongming would ask for money, so they avoided him. Shang Du showed surprise on his face.

Some people took advantage of their distance from Ye Chongming, so they whispered about it with the tea merchants around them, and some even bet on how many tea leaves Ye Chongming would order in a while.

The officials of the Commercial Affairs Department were also very curious about how much tea the Ye family would order in a while.

Others Since yesterday, many people have come to greet him, wanting him to give themselves the extra tea leaves from the Ye family, and some even want him to directly withhold some of the tea leaves from the Ye family.Each of these people paid a higher price than the other.

These officials are naturally moved.It's just that Ye Chongming is the head of the tea company, and he has given them money in the past.Now when they heard that the Ye family was short of money, they directly withheld the tea leaves from the Ye family, which was too ugly to eat.Spreading it out will damage the official reputation.

It wasn't until last night that the prefect of Qi sent someone to say hello and told them not to tamper with the tea leaves of the Ye family, that they stopped thinking.Tell those who want to give them a high price, if the Ye family really can't eat that much tea, if there is more, they will move this part of the tea to the other party.

But if the Ye family had the ability to eat all the tea leaves, then they wouldn't have any wrong thoughts.

Hearing what they said, those people didn't dare to say anything more, they just waited to see how much tea leaves the Ye family ordered today.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the officials simply announced the start.

Because of the large amount, ordering money is troublesome. The sales department cooperates with Fengtai Bank, a bank with an official background in Lin'an City. The tea merchants first deposit the silver in the bank, and the bank issues a bank note similar to an invoice. At that time, the tea merchants took the bank notes to the tax department to pay taxes and order tea.

Because the tea is not in stock, the people in the sales department are not afraid of the tea merchants making fake bank notes.After the tea reservation was over, they went to the bank to check the amount.If the bank note is found to be wrong, there will naturally be a targeted investigation.Unless you deliberately want to go to prison, no one dares to tamper with the bank notes.

Ye Chongming only went to the bank before he came to the Department of Disputes, so except for the people in the bank, no one here knew how much money he had saved.

Now he took out the bank note and handed it to the officer of the Department of Justice.

When the official saw the above number, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and smiled and said to Ye Chongming, "The Ye family is really rich."

As he spoke, he reported the number of tea leaves he ordered to the guard and asked him to fill in a contract.

Hearing the numbers he reported, those who stretched their necks and wanted to know the situation of the Ye family were in an uproar, and those who had ideas were even more disappointed.

Ye Chongming ordered the same amount of tea leaves as in previous years—although the farmers in Gongjiacun and Wangjiaao did not sign a contract with the Ye family, but that was just a connection with the farmers, and that step could have been omitted. It is also possible to order tea by paying money here.

Although the area of ​​the tea gardens in those two villages was very small, the lack of a hundred catties of tea would have no effect on the Ye family, but in order to silence these people, Ye Chongming still reserved the same amount of tea as in previous years.

Ye Chongming got the contract, and said to the people behind: "My Ye family also wants to order more tea besides these tea leaves. It's just that the tea from the tea mountain is limited, and my Ye family bought more. I don’t have to buy it. So I can only have the same amount as in previous years. If anyone wants to make a small reservation, you can tell me, and I will thank you.”

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to everyone, and walked away from here.

Those who made up their minds couldn't help cursing in their hearts, and angrily withdrew their small thoughts, waiting to order their own tea.

Ye Jiaxing, who got into the carriage, was very excited, and said to Ye Chongming: "Grandfather, you didn't see some people, when they heard the number we reported, their faces changed completely. Hahahahaha..."
