Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 165

Lin Baozhu, who originally wanted to lower the price of the workshop, felt a lot of pity in her heart.To be honest, she is not a cruel person, and when she is cruel occasionally, it is just for some wolf-hearted or shameless brazen people.And when she met a workshop owner who was full of filial piety, she really didn't have such a hard heart to take the opportunity to bait the price.

The so-called benevolent people are morally successful, those with good intentions are peaceful at home, and those who do good deeds are prosperous. .In fact, as people often say, good deeds lead to good results.On weekdays, Lin Baozhu always said that she didn't want to be taken advantage of and didn't care about the reputation of a wicked woman, but in fact, she never harmed the interests of others in her actions.Even, with gratitude, she never refused when the villagers needed help.

In return, everyone in Taoshuwan respected her and even felt grateful to her.Even if her own man is not at home, the people in the village will voluntarily become her support.

Lin Baozhu doesn't have much ability, and she doesn't have any ambition to build a new countryside or open up a paradise. She only hopes to make a fortune with her own hands, and to live happily ever after with her husband.

But before she knew it, she was kind to others and got a lot of rewards.Even Mrs. Lu's family, which has a scholar, has always been grateful to her, and has never treated her poorly because of a talented person in the family.

Seeing that the owner of the workshop was careful not to talk about the price easily, Lin Baozhu simply spoke first, but she didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "Since you don't hide it, I won't be polite to you. Let me tell you something." One, I don’t know how you plan to start the workshop? As long as the price is right, I will never reject it and bargain.” After a pause, she continued, “It’s just that those guys still need you to discuss with our big shopkeeper Zhang Ji, If it is honest and reliable, Zhang Ji is naturally willing to continue to use it. However, if there is someone who cheats and cheats, I know that you have good intentions, and Zhang Ji will not be able to use it."

Seeing Lin Baozhu's cheerfulness, the master's family breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he said, "This workshop was originally Zhou Ji's tea house renovation. The tea trees are also full of insects, which is very sad. If the wife wants to buy the workshop, the tea garden should only be given to the lady for nothing, no matter what someone scooped it up for, it is also good. Another thing is to dry the cooked food There are many new and unused things in the house, if Madam wants to use them, I will donate them together. As for the price, how about 180 taels of silver?"

180 taels of silver is not expensive in the county, but it is not cheap either, but it is not unacceptable if a small tea garden is added.In fact, compared to those guys in the workshop, Lin Baozhu is most interested in the tea garden full of insects in the mouth of the master's mouth.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I wonder if you can let me see the tea garden before making a decision?"

"Of course it's fine. There's nothing wrong with me right now, so I'll take my wife to see it myself." After saying that, the man got up and hurriedly led the way.

To be honest, he was also desperate, because he was in urgent need of money, but anyone who came to inquire about the sale of the workshop had made a cruel bargain.Some people even paid 30 taels of silver, and they all refused to arrange for a man to work in the workshop.

If it's just for money, he can barely accept it.However, those few guys who were born just followed him when he was in trouble. It is not easy to start from scratch. Many times, there is no way to pay wages on time, but the guys never care about it.Now he can leave as long as he sells the workshop and takes the money, but what about those guys?If he loses his job, the family will lose income. If that is the case, wouldn't it be that he has been tricked by his old employer!

Not to mention how entangled the owner of the workshop is, but to say that Lin Baozhu has already brought Da Ya and shopkeeper Li to the tea garden that the owner said.

The tea garden is not too big, just the size of six rows of tea trees.Under the sunshine, it is fresh and green, and exudes a faint bitter tea flavor.

Lin Baozhu walked closer and saw that the tea tree had grown one or two buds, but it was not the time to pick them.But before she reached out to pick a piece, she suddenly saw extremely small flying insects fluttering up, and almost all of the leaves were occupied by these small green insects.

She was startled at first, but after seeing the bugs and the tea leaves that had been bitten and sucked, she suddenly felt ecstatic.And this kind of ecstasy was something that he had never experienced when he first discovered the ancient tea tree of Eagle Tea, that is, the feeling when he first confirmed the mother plant of Baijiguan tea was slightly comparable.

Seeing the change in Lin Baozhu's expression, the workshop owner's heart skipped a beat.I think his wife is also a cleanser, not to mention seeing so many flying insects on weekdays, even if she sees a mosquito, she has to scrub for a while.He glanced at Lin Baozhu's attire, and then saw the handsome and clean face of the silent child beside her, secretly regretting that there was no need to mention tea garden or not, and he was afraid that this business would have another setback.

The owner of the workshop thought for a while and explained: "There are hills near here where sugar cane and mulberry trees are planted, so they have attracted a lot of floating dust, but as long as the tea garden is cleaned up, there will not be so many bugs. After all, we are here. The place where you work is outside the city, so you will inevitably see some pests and the like."

"You mean it's really a floating dust?"

"Yes, this kind of pest is not uncommon here, but there are many in orchards or fields. However, there used to be someone who took care of Zhou Ji, so there was no such serious time. Later, the workshop was handed over to me. I haven’t been to this place, so I haven’t had it repaired, and I came here today and found that the good garden has been eaten by insects.” As he said, the host showed an annoyed expression, I should have known, earlier When the workshop is about to be sold, this place should be shoveled.

He is regretful and full of annoyance.But Lin Baozhu didn't care about the owner's mood. She was carefully picking off a piece of bud, and first sniffed it in the palm of her hand. The buds and leaves bitten by the floating dust, that is, the little green leafhopper, gave off a faint smell. Unique aroma.

She twisted the buds and leaves carefully with her hands, even if she didn't put it in her mouth to taste carefully, she could still feel the unique charm of this Oriental beauty tea.

The so-called Oriental Beauty Tea is actually Pekoe Oolong Tea, which is made from buds and leaves that have been bitten and inhaled by hand from Qingxinda.Different from other tea leaves, the tea quality of this kind of tea depends not only on the tea-making skills, but also on the bite degree of the little green leafhopper. In the previous life, how many tea gardens did not dare to apply pesticides in order to attract this kind of insects Not to mention taking care of the tea garden meticulously, it is unhealthy. No matter how many tea farmers ask for it, they have never asked for a place like this where little green leafhoppers can gather.

Speaking of which, the origin of Oriental Beauty Tea is that after the Chinese tea was exported to the UK, it was presented to Queen Victoria by a tea merchant. After tasting it, the Queen was full of praise and was deeply attracted by its special tea aroma.At that time, the queen felt that the tea was mellow and sweet, which made her feel more pleasant than other teas.In addition, after the tea is brewed, it looks like a flower, and the tea soup is yellow and clear, but it is also like bright amber, so it is named Oriental Beauty Tea.

Because there is very little of this tea in the market, even she tasted it many times as the inheritor of the tea-making family.For ordinary tea makers, even if they spend their whole life, they may not be able to come across such a coveted green tea.

Lin Baozhu smelled the unique smell produced by the mixture of the saliva of the little green leafhopper and the enzyme of the tea itself, and for a moment she didn't know what expression to show.This is definitely more precious than Baijiguan tea, and even more rare.

Because it is different from the spring, summer, autumn and winter teas of Baijiguan tea, this tea can only be picked on hot summer days, and it must be picked after being sucked by small green leafhoppers. The whole young buds and leaves need at least [-] pieces to be picked. It can make a pound of tea.

What's more, the tea master Lin, who is unknown to everyone, has a unique technique when making beauty tea, that is, after frying the greens, he will use an extra cloth bag to moisten and then ferment one more time.So, don't say that today's people don't know how valuable the tea leaves that have been bitten by insects are. Even if they know, Lin Baozhu is not worried that others can use ordinary tea-making techniques to produce a better finished product than his own tea.

She took a look at the size of the tea garden. It was not comparable to Zhang Ji's tea mountain, but it could still be used by a workshop.The area of ​​the tea factory is not large, but the tea trees planted are located at a reasonable distance. According to her speculation, it is no problem to pick a season of beauty tea every year.This crop, although not much, but one hundred catties of green tea with buds and two leaves is enough.

Zhang Ji now has white cockscomb tea and eagle tea, and even many noble families outside will take care of it.As for the white cockscomb tea, the two Highnesses Prince Rui and Xiaoyao had tasted it, and its reputation has risen to a higher level.

Lin Baozhu would not dare to brag about other things now, but Zhang Ji is not much worse than other teahouses in terms of the way and means of buying and selling.In fact, if it weren't for the current shortage of tea, Zhang Ji would not be able to open a shop in the capital with her backer for the time being. I'm afraid she would have already moved to pave the way to the state and the capital.

Looking at the green tea in hand, Lin Baozhu had a vague idea in his heart, but the idea was not clear yet.

Back then, beauty tea could be dedicated to Queen Victoria, so now, it may not be impossible to dedicate it to the noble ladies and the proud women of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Of course, it is still too early to say that. After all, it is not yet the hot summer season, and even if it is to be picked, it will take some time for the buds to grow.

Because of this surprising discovery, coupled with the feeling that the owner of the workshop is kind-hearted and a filial son, he did not bargain, and signed the transaction document with 180 taels of silver.Afterwards, the owner went to the county government office with shopkeeper Li to enter the booklet and make a grade. Since then, a few miles to the east of the county, together with the tea garden and workshop that originally belonged to Zhou Ji, they have changed their appearance and hung Zhang Ji's signboard.
