Chapter 64: Does Xiao Hanzheng know that you are such a prodigal?

June 18, 2023Ai Hrist

Bai Xu had been sitting and waiting for a while.

“You’re finally back.”

If it weren’t for the difference between men and women, and in fear that Shi Qingluo would be gossiped by the villagers, he would have taken the initiative to find her.

Shi Qingluo walked up to him and sat down: “What’s the matter?”

Bai Xu saw her lazily with black hair.

Doesn’t this woman have the intention to ask about the sales of sugar?

Does she have too much confidence in sugar or too much heart?

However, he still took the initiative to say: “I have collected all the brown sugar I can collect in the past half a month, and sent the white sugar produced one after another to the capital.”

“The reply over there said that the white sugar is very popular in the aristocratic families in the capital.”

Shi Qingluo looked indifferent: “That is natural.”

Anyway, her share will not start until next month.

“You raised the price and repack it. Apart from the good taste of white sugar, those people like to eat rare things that can show off their status.”

Otherwise, those people from aristocratic families will not eat sugar for three meals a day, right?

So the quality and packaging of sugar was what sells their identity.

From the very beginning, they intended to sell sugar at a high price to nobles, not to ordinary people.

The price will drop only after it becomes popular in the future, but it was impossible in a short time.

Bai Xu smiled lightly and said: “Sure enough, you can see through it.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s wife was capable and insightful, stronger than many men he knows.

Shi Qinglou lit the small red clay stove, picked up the tea set, and began to brew Kung Fu tea.

There was no Kung Fu tea in this era, but she likes to drink it in modern times.

She accidentally told about it her husband that day and her husband went to the county the same day and came back with a set of tea sets.

She poured a cup for Bai Xu, poured another cup for herself, and drank leisurely, “I’ll just wait for you to send me my dividend next month.”

As long as there were conditions, she will never wrong herself.

So when she received one thousand taels that day, she ran to buy good tea and came back.

It was the first time Bai Xu saw someone making tea like this.

He picked up the cup and see that the tea soup inside was clear bright green and translucent, but the smell of tea was also strong.

He took a sip. Without question, it was delicious, better than the Gaiwancha he usually drank, and very refreshing.

“I didn’t see it, you know how to make tea.”

He asked: “What kind of brewing method are you doing?”

Shi Qinglou replied: “This is called Kung Fu tea.”

“Why is it called Kung Fu Tea?” Bai Xu heard this name for the first time.

Shi Qingluo explained: “Because the method of brewing this kind of tea is very particular, it takes a certain amount of effort to operate it.”

Bai Xu smiled and said, “It’s very appropriate to say that.”

Just now when he saw Shi Qingluo making tea, her movements were elegant and light. If she wasn’t dressed in a not-so-luxurious way and looked a little yellow and thin, he would have thought she was a noble lady from the capital.

“Tell me about the specialties and benefits of this Kung Fu tea?”

So Shi Qingluo chatted with Bai Xu about tea. Not only did she speak clearly, but she sounded like a master when people heard it, which surprised Bai Xu.

This woman was so powerful, how awesome that Immortal Master would be more!

Bai Xu smiled and said: “Can I learn this Kung Fu tea?”

The action of making this tea was elegant and full of charm. It was very suitable for sitting and talking with friends or business partners.

Shi Qingluo smiled indifferently, “Sure, you can also build this special tea set. I will teach you now.”

Bai Xu became interested: “Thank you.”

The two chatted while drinking tea.

Bai Xu also roughly learned how to make Kung Fu tea, and plans to go back to the county today to order tea sets and invite his friends to a party in a few days to show off.

After learning how to make Kung Fu tea, Bai Xu pointed to the tricolor chrysanthemum in the yard impatiently and said: “You cultivated this?”

Before, this woman said that she could grow a variety of chrysanthemums and camellias, but he didn’t believe it.

How can there be several colors on a single flower? It was simply whimsical.

But reality slapped him again.

In addition, the exchange of tea with Shi Qingluo just now made him even more afraid to underestimate her.

Shi Qingluo smiled lightly and said, “Of course I cultivated it, does your face hurt a little?”

Bai Xu: “… …”

Can you be a human being?

He was particularly curious: “How did this chrysanthemum grow like this?”

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “Do you understand the meaning of secret technique?”

This was her skill to make money and eat, so she wanted to keep it a secret.

At least, up to this point in time.

Bai Xu laughed, “Okay, then I won’t ask how to cultivate it, I’ll just ask how much you want to sell it?”

Shi Qingluo poured him another cup of tea: “Then how much do you think it is worth?”

Bai Xu asked back: “You can cultivate more than just this one?”

Shi Qinglou curled her lips: “It depends on the price. If the price is good, then there is only one plant, and you only have one of this unique color.”

“If the price is average, then it can have ten or a hundred plants.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

His emotions kept up and down in here.

“Do you only have money in your eyes?”

Then he added: “You are the wife of a scholar, it is very likely that you will become a wife of Juren and a wife of Jinshi in the future.”

Shi Qinglou rolled her eyes at him, “Every wife needs to eat.”

“I’m short of money, so don’t go around the bush, just give me a price, and then you can appreciate it yourself, or send it to the capital to sell to others. It has nothing to do with me.”

Bai Xu was speechless: “Didn’t I just give you 1,000 taels before, and I heard that you exchanged 600 taels from the Wu family. Isn’t it enough for you to eat and drink?”

Shi Qingluo said as a matter of course: “Who would dislike a lot of money?”

“My new house is about to be built, it needs hundreds of thousands of taels, and I still have several workshops waiting to start construction. All this needs money to be spent!”

She plans to build a new house in one place, so she wants to lay solid wood floors in the bedroom and marble in the living room.

Now there were no floor tiles, but there was marble.

However, the price of marble was very expensive. If it was all paved, her husband has calculated, it can be estimated that the marble alone will cost several hundred taels.

Solid wood flooring was easy to make, just cut it on the mountain and make it.

So she somewhat wants to open a floor tile factory or sell this technology, so that the cost of laying floor tiles will be much cheaper than laying marble, and it will be more convenient.

Bai Xu had black lines all over his head: “Why do you want to build such an expensive house in the village?”

The better type of houses in the county only cost a few hundred taels.

When their house was built, it only cost thousands of taels. This woman has a big heart.

Shi Qingluo took a sip of tea, “Of course, it’s for enjoyment, otherwise, why should I earn so much money?”

She took it for granted and said: “People make money to spend it.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

Does Xiao Hanzheng know that you are such a prodigal?

“You are amazing.” He doesn’t even know what to say.

“I’m just curious, why do you spend so much money to build a house in the village?” He couldn’t figure it out.

Shi Qingluo didn’t want to share it with him: “You will know when I build it.”

She only discusses this with her husband, after all, it will be their new home together. While talking about it to Bai Xu was boring.

Bai Xu: “… …”

He felt that he was rejected.

He pouted and said: “Okay, then I’ll wait to see what your new house will look like.”

Shi Qingluo said: “At that time, you will probably be envious and feel that it’s an eye-opener.”
