Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 23 Cooperation
"Oh, we are full of distinguished guests. I didn't come far to greet you. I'm so rude..." An old woman in her 60s or [-]s came out quickly to welcome them.

"The second young lady of the Dong family, the aunt of the Dong family, my humble house is humble, and the old woman has neglected our distinguished guests... please come in quickly!"

His face was wrinkled, and his clothes had seven or eight patches, but they were starched and clean.

She was holding a wooden crutch, she was in good spirits, she was smiling, and she looked like a kind and dignified old woman.

This is Yan Po.

"Poor Yan, you're so polite. We came here rashly and didn't have time to send you a greeting card. It would be rude..."

Everyone exchanged greetings while entering the room and taking their seats.

Dong Shuzhen didn't know how to exchange greetings, so she turned her head and looked around without interrupting.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

I didn’t expect that the living room could be so simple?

When Po Yan said "the house is humble and humble," it was not a modest statement.

……

After we sat down, someone brought us a bowl of "tea porridge".

Zhu Xiuyuan tasted it and put it down. This thing was really not to his liking.

"Po Yan is a straightforward person, so I won't be verbose and just choose the skylight to explain."

Zhu Xiuyuan got straight to the point and got straight to the point.

Through the pleasantries just now, Zhu Xiuyuan has already seen that this Yan Po is a very simple person and there is no need to beat around the bush.

"Old lady, I'm all ears." Yan Po said with a smile, her face wrinkled like flowers.

"I took the liberty of visiting here because I actually want to cooperate with Granny Yan on a business venture."

"What business?" Yan Po was surprised, a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy eyes.

"Po Yan, please look at it. Do you recognize this thing?"

Zhu Xiuyuan took something out of his sleeve, something small and green, and placed it on the coffee table.

This is a young tea tip with only one young leaf.

Yan Po narrowed her eyes, and leaned her head over for a closer look.

Suddenly, a small head crossed Zhu Xiuyuan and came closer.

But it turned out that Dong Shuzhen came to join in the fun.

Her little face with baby fat was full of curiosity, and her big eyes were also wide open, as if she was looking at something weird...

Zhu Xiuyuan's face suddenly darkened.

Patted her gently.

She turned around blankly, stuck out her tongue, and silently retreated under Zhu Xiuyuan's burning eyes.

"Of course the old woman recognizes it." After reading it, Granny Yan was a little confused. "What about this one? Please see, Granny Yan, what's the difference between the two?" Zhu Xiuyuan took out another object, which was also a bud of a tea tree, but it had many young leaves.

"These... are all ordinary tea leaves. The old lady really can't see any difference. It's just this..."

Mrs. Yan pointed to the tip of the bud with only one young leaf, "It's too time-consuming to pick only the buds like this."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yan suddenly paused, "Could it be that the business that Uncle Dong mentioned has something to do with these two picking methods?"

"That's right! Our Dong family purchases a large number of these tender shoot tips, with only one young leaf attached and not the rest. The price is negotiable."

"what!"

Yan Po jumped up from the chair and forgot about the crutches.

The slightly old body was trembling, as if it would collapse at any time.

However, excitement appeared on her face, her face was red and she was extremely excited.

He asked in disbelief: "Is what Uncle Dong said... really true? Does your house really want to acquire this... leaf?"

"You heard right."

"This this……"

Yan Po sat down and stood up again, back and forth several times.

She was clearly in a state of ecstasy.

The corners of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth turned up, thinking that this mother-in-law really deserves to be the 'chief rudder', and he figured out the key point almost instantly.

Selling the shoot tips to the Dong family is equivalent to an extra income. This is simply a good thing that falls from the sky!
This kind of good thing doesn't happen often.

"Your distinguished guest is laughing, old woman... I feel so excited, but it's rude! Please don't be surprised, distinguished guest." After Mrs. Yan calmed down, she immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

"No problem!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.

Yan Po smiled apologetically for a while, and then asked again: "I wonder what the purpose of your government's acquisition of this small leaf is?"

"Well, it's not convenient to disclose this at the moment... I wonder what Yan Po wants? Can we cooperate with this business?"

"Don't blame the honored guest... Please allow the old lady to think about it carefully." Mrs. Yan showed a thoughtful look on her face, and she fell silent for a while.

In this, there are actually quite a lot of things that need to be calculated, and it won't be clear in a while...

It takes time to calculate the gains and losses.

Zhu Xiuyuan was a little bored waiting, and looked at Dong Shuzhen from time to time, secretly playing a game called "eyebrows".

"I don't know..." Mrs. Yan finally spoke, but it was obvious that she was a little embarrassed, "I wonder what price your house would pay for it?"

"Mr. Yan, please rest assured. Our Dong family has always been committed to passing on poetry and etiquette, and is based on sincerity. We will never resort to fraud, use our power to oppress others, or harm tea farmers. Our sincerity is very high." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"That's natural. I still admire your style of work. The manager of your tea garden has helped me more than once. I remember it all in my heart..."

"It's just such a big matter. I need to think carefully about it without any negligence. In order to live up to your government's mercy and support, and to not waste the tea gardeners' trust in me," Mrs. Yan said.
