Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 64

Because the tea-picking job at home had just started to become regular, Lin Baozhu couldn't leave, so Zhang Mantun was the only one who came back to the yamen.When he passed a plaque shop, he suddenly thought that although his daughter-in-law put up a signboard for Zhang Ji, she didn't have a decent plaque.After thinking for a while, he touched the remaining hundred and ten coins in his pocket, and then strode into the store.

He can't read, but because he has been traveling for many years, he can also see good things. 150 Wen, set a solid wood signboard of red pear.

There was very little work in the plaque shop at the moment, and seeing Zhang Mantun happy to give the money, the shopkeeper immediately called the masters in the shop to choose wood to help polish and carve.But in about an hour, the big characters of Zhangji Tea House appeared on the plaque.

Seeing that the plaque was carved, Zhang Mantun walked back quickly in satisfaction.Perhaps in order to save time, he copied the mountain road and walked together.In fact, when he came here, the daughter-in-law gave him a lot of money, just for him to go to the yamen to do business, but he didn't want to save some copper coins and let him directly make a plaque.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is also used to walking on mountain roads, for him, climbing uphill is not much different from walking on flat ground.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two daughters-in-law who had come to help pick the tea earlier got their wages together with Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma, and went home separately.And Lin Baozhu also took advantage of Zhang Mandun's return, stewed the food in the pot, and then turned around and went to Westinghouse to fry tea.

Looking at the baskets of new leaves, and the bamboo tubes her family used to deliver goods, Lin Baozhu began to think about how to make Zhang Ji stand firm.

In fact, she knew very well that now that Zhang Ji was being mentioned, it was nothing more than taking advantage of the white cockscomb tea.If any tea house produces better new tea in the future, their gimmicks and the fame they just promoted will probably be worthless.

You know, there are not too few old teahouses outside these days.Especially in Yanjing and Qiongzhou, there is an endless stream of good and famous teas, and even the rich and powerful in the capital send people to the Qiongzhou area to select tea.

What's more, even if the first batch of Baijiguan tea gained fame in spring, it was only in Northern Qizhou.If you compare Dongting Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu Tea, Lu'an Guapian, Junshan Yinzhen, Xinyang Maojian, Wuyi Rock Tea, Anxi Tieguanyin and others, it is still not enough to look at.

It is precisely because of this that the white cockscomb tea of ​​their own now has a place.Otherwise, I am afraid that the owners of the tea gardens would have been inquired a long time ago, how can they still make tea in this remote and remote place safely.

I have to say that Lin Baozhu is telling the truth. Even though those owners of famous tea gardens have heard of the sudden emergence of white cockscomb tea, not many people really take it seriously.First of all, they specialize in art, and they each have their own unique skills and tea products.Secondly, Baijiguan tea has only suddenly gained popularity, and it is not worth mentioning compared to tea varieties with strong tea charm.

Thinking about this, she thought about how to make Zhang Ji famous, how to make it so that even if there is no white cockscomb tea, people will still know that Zhang Ji is a tea-making workshop when they mention Zhang Ji.

I heard a saying in my previous life, which probably means that advertising is the hardest way to promote a brand.In this day and age, there is no television, no newspapers, and no Internet. Advertising is also labor-intensive.

Lin Baozhu shook her head, thinking carefully whether there was anything worth learning from.I went to my men's escort agency before, and removed the fierce spirit of those escorts, the rest is uniform attire, and all the boxes in the escort agency have the same appearance, even if the size is different, the appearance is the same , people can tell at a glance that it is the goods of Anping Escort Bureau.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.She doesn't need uniform attire yet, but uniform packaging can be done.If all tea buyers in the future, as long as they buy Zhang Ji’s tea leaves, there will be a bamboo tube or paper packaging tea with Zhang Ji’s logo on it. Needless to say, many people will see it.

As long as that person says that the tea tastes good, other people will naturally take a look at it, but if there is one person who helps to promote it, maybe one more person will know about Zhang Ji's tea.

Such a feeling of openness really made people feel comfortable all over, Lin Baozhu felt a little lighter in his heart, and the movements of his hands became faster and faster.Although she hasn't been able to figure out the specifics, she has made a move after all.

When the tea leaves on hand were almost ready to dry, they took them out and started frying them in a small pot outside.

After drying the tea leaves, although the leaves are already soft, they still have the astringent smell of green leaves.Therefore, no matter it is to remove the miscellaneous smell, or to knead the green tea to facilitate shaping, it needs to be fried at high temperature.

Only after frying the green leaves, can the tea leaves remain green and remove the bad green smell in the fresh leaves, and then make the fresh leaves that have lost moisture due to evaporation easy to knead.In fact, it is to use high temperature to kill the catalytic enzymes in the green leaves, so that the tea loses the possibility of continuous fermentation, so as to maintain the color of the tea.Then, with the help of heating, the green smell and bitter taste in the leaves are eliminated, and the fresh leaves that cannot be swallowed are left or turned into mellow green leaves with floral and leaf fragrance.

This process sounds simple, but it is also very labor-intensive.No, Lin Baozhu's originally fair and delicate face became red because of being roasted in a hot dry iron pan, and the sweat on her forehead and cheeks was caused by the fact that she raised her head slightly but never let it fall. Get in eyes or dry out.

Not to mention the soreness and pain from the corners of her eyes being stung by the sweat beads, even the dry sweat on her face made her whole face painful and itchy.

But even so, she didn't care about wiping, and just took advantage of the hot bottom of the pot to quickly roll the tea leaves with a special wooden shovel.

She didn't let out a sigh of relief until the tea leaves were roasted.Gather all the tea leaves to the bottom of the pot, remove the cloth from the side to pile them up, and wait until the tea leaves are fermented and refined again before the tea making is complete.

Seeing that the work at hand was done, she went to clear out the bamboo basket again, and then carefully picked the damp tea just picked today.One bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, and pure old leaves. After selection, they are spread thinly and dried separately.

After all the fresh tea leaves in the room were finished drying, her arms were too tired to lift them.Seeing that it was about to get dark, he simply called Big Wolf, who had been honestly looking after the house, to the village entrance to see if his man had come back.

It's strange to say that although Big Wolf and Zhang Mandun seem fierce and savage, they never cause trouble on weekdays, and they seem to understand people's words.During the day, when someone came to work, it just lay down on the edge of the fence and basked in the sun, occasionally strolling around and patrolling around the small yard like a king, never howling.If it was late that day, and Lin Baozhu called it out, it would know to go to the village entrance or the back mountain to find Zhang Mantun, signaling to its master that it was time to go home.

Perhaps there are not many such obedient dogs, and no one has ever treated it as a wolf, so the people who come to work are not afraid of it.Even Auntie Tian sometimes scooped up some food for it and helped Lin Baozhu to feed it.

The big wolf didn't go out for a while, but ran back all the way, and Lin Baozhu, who had just applied hot water to his wrist, went out of the house to pour water, and saw the big and small figures from afar.

She didn't expect her man to be so thoughtful, and looking at the plaque he carried back, she really liked it more and more.Immediately, he smiled brightly at his man, and walked around for the plaque by the way.After finishing the dinner that night, she felt full of strength.

Buying a plaque back, it seems that there is no change, but it seems that something has changed.Perhaps only Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mantun knew in their hearts that this kind of life with hope and energy for this family was really fulfilling and practical.

After dinner, neither of them felt sleepy, so Zhang Mandun sat on the edge of the kang and watched his wife keep the accounts.Seeing his daughter-in-law still using wooden boards and fire sticks, he took it to heart quietly, thinking that he must buy some paper, ink, pens and inkstones for his daughter-in-law when he goes back to town.

Lin Baozhu didn't have much need for those. One is that she is used to using wooden boards to settle accounts.Second, when I talked to Aunt Tian about reading before I came here, I heard Aunt Tian tell the other two sisters-in-law that there are not many Shuxiu who study in the town, but the pens and paper are very expensive. Years may not be able to get children's pen and ink money.So she has no idea of ​​buying paper and pen for the time being.

"I'm thinking that our tea packaging can be done separately in the future. Now that we don't have any spare money at home, we can wrap it with some window wool paper. After a while, when we have more money on hand, we can buy some good paper and paste it with a red seal. The sign on the last note." Lin Baozhu counted the money on hand, the wages she went out to pay and the expenses at home, and now she has saved almost 250 taels of silver.

Zhang Mantun thought for a while, and felt that his wife's idea was feasible.Originally, he had been out and about a lot, and his knowledge was wider, so he was not as thoughtful as his own wife, but he was also more active than ordinary farmers.The daughter-in-law's method seems to be a waste of money, but in fact, more people know the existence of Zhang Ji, just like the bodyguard agency he used to work in. Anyone who sees the box and flag in the vicinity or even the county will know that it is what happened.

But the daughter-in-law's tea is good tea. He drank too much tea with his wife these days, and he no longer drank like Guo Qian.More or less, he can drink the aroma of tea. He has also drank the tea bought in the town. Compared with the tea made by his wife, the taste is far different.Furthermore, although the daughter-in-law doesn't say anything, he also understands that in the daughter-in-law's heart, the tea made by him is very important, otherwise he would not often get up at night to check.
