Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

   Chapter 60 060. Longjing before Ming Dynasty

  The two sat on the coffee table by the window. A clump of green bamboo grew outside the window, which added a touch of coolness to the hot sun.

  Cao Changkun made tea himself and entertained Mu Chongli. Although the two were the object of fighting and ridiculing each other, they were also brothers and confidants.

  Cao Changkun poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Mu Chongli.

  He poured himself another cup, "This is Yuqian Longjing from one of my students, please try it."

  Mu Chongli took a small sip as he picked it up, his brows relaxed slightly, but his mouth was not forgiving, "Yuqian Longjing is indeed good, but it is still worse than Mingqian Longjing given by my student."

  The picking time of Longjing before Ming Dynasty is within two or three days before and after Qingming Festival. At this time, the tea trees just spit out the buds, and tea farmers need to work overtime to pick them in these few days.

  One catty of Mingqian Longjing requires ten people to pick it for one day, and the picking time of Mingqian Longjing is only two or three days.

  Yuqian Longjing is picked before and after Grain Rain, and the picking time is a little longer.

  The production of these two kinds of tea is not much, and they are rare high-grade teas, but the output of Mingqian Longjing is even rarer than that of Yuqian Longjing, so Mingqian Longjing is more precious than Yuqian Longjing.

  Cao Changkun, "..."

   "Then why didn't the younger brother bring Mingqian Longjing to the older brother to taste?"

  Mu Chongli glanced at Cao Changkun, "You don't lack good things, so I won't waste them."

  Cao Changkun laughed, "Brother is really stingy."

  I won’t give it to you, you are so angry that Mu Chongli took a sip of the tea, the taste is soft and fragrant, the tea is good, “Junior brother can’t compare to you, the things in this room can be given away, so rich!”

  Cao Changkun's expression froze, he glanced around the room painfully, and thought to himself, with his broken mouth, he will never be generous again.

  He didn't express his inner thoughts, and then changed the subject, "Junior Brother said he wanted to show me something good, but what good thing is it?"

  Mu Chongli mysteriously took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Changkun, lifted his chin with a proud expression, "Look for yourself."

  Cao Changkun took the paper suspiciously and unfolded it, quickly scanning the words on it.

  After reading it, his pupils dilated slightly in shock, "This, this..."

  The old **** Mu Chongli said, "How about it, the answer is absolutely absolute?"

Mu Chongli and Cao Changkun were the late emperor's companions, and they were also the same teacher. Five years ago, their mentor passed away, and he gave the topic of the "circle" to the three of them as his last words, letting them think about it no matter what. Give the answer, and when the time comes, it must be burned to him in front of the grave.

  The first emperor died three years ago, and he didn't come up with an answer before he died, so he handed the question to the current emperor.

   It has been five years, and the three of them have asked everyone, but no one can answer it. It was not until Chu Qingzhi appeared that this question had a clear answer.

  Cao Changkun said incredulously, "Absolutely, absolutely, after reading the answer, I can finally explain to my teacher, and I can sleep well."

  Mu Chongli sighed, "Me too. This topic has troubled me for five years. You can see that my hair has turned gray a lot in the past five years."

   Speaking of this, the two finally reached a rare agreement.

  Cao Changkun was very curious, "Brother, who answered this?"

  Mu Chongli said, "Don't worry, and then read the next two poems."

  Cao Changkun took a general look at it just now, and now he listened to what his younger brother said, and savored it carefully.

  He said enviously, "Junior brother, it seems that your academy has produced a lot of talents!"

  The outstanding and dazzling girl appeared in Mu Chongli's mind, and he waved his hand, "She is not from my academy."

  Cao Changkun asked, "Then who is she?"

  Mu Chongli didn't want to tell people, otherwise the senior brother would laugh at him, "I'll tell you later, let's go into the palace."

  Cao Changkun broke the casserole and asked the end, "Junior brother, don't change the subject, talk quickly."

  Mu Chongli snatched the paper back and walked out, "I'm leaving without telling you."

  Cao Changkun hurriedly caught up and said helplessly, "Junior Brother, you are really getting more and more clumsy!"

  Mu Chongli quickened his pace, "That means you don't know me well enough."

  Cao Changkun, "..."

really! Makes sense!

  …

  Shuiyun County.

  In just a short period of time, Jieshu Jiapin ice cream has become popular in three counties, and everyone from eighty-year-olds to three-year-old children has been deeply captured by it.

   Especially in Shuiyun County, which is also the closest county to Chujia Village.

   At noon, Fuyuan Restaurant put up a sign, "Today, our restaurant offers a promotion: when more than ten people come to eat in the restaurant, we will give away a set of zodiac sorbet for free, limited to 100 sets, first come, first served."

   This discount immediately attracted the attention of some people. After inquiring about it, it was true. In a small county, the news spread quickly, and soon half of the county knew about it.

  With the strategy of hunger marketing, people will come to book soon, for fear that it will be gone if it is too late.

   Shopkeeper Zhou held a pen to record, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never broke.

   Make big money today!

   Seeing that shopkeeper Zhou was so happy, the man couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper, these things are given to others to eat, and they also cost five cents a set. What are you happy about?"

   Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at the shopkeeper, "Why don't I be the shopkeeper and you are the shopkeeper, let me ask you, how much does it usually cost for a dozen or so people to eat?"

  The buddy slapped his hands, "At least five taels."

Shopkeeper Zhou calculated the accounts for his assistant, "In addition to the five renminbi, I can still earn two taels of silver for vegetables. Originally, there are about fifty tables of such customers a day, but once I have this discount, I can earn more than one hundred tables. , do the math, how much more money does the shopkeeper earn?"

  The buddy scratched his head, still unable to understand, "But shopkeeper, are you sure they all come to our restaurant?"

   Shopkeeper Zhou said confidently, "I tell you, don't underestimate everyone's curiosity about new things and their psychology of taking advantage, they will definitely come."

  He pointed to the account book, "In just a short while, there are already more than 30 reservations, and by noon, there must be more than 100 reservations."

  The guy glanced at Yiliu's name, licked his face and asked, "Shopkeeper, you earn so much money, can you give us some bonus?"

   Shopkeeper Zhou raised his head and glanced at the waiter, "Okay, I will give you a wage increase at the end of the month."

  The guy was overjoyed, "Thank you shopkeeper, thank you shopkeeper."

  …

  The four girls of Chu Xiaotang completed the task in the middle of the afternoon, and they can leave after Shen Ruyue's inspection.

  Chu Lanzhen hesitated for a moment, then asked Shen Ruyue in a low voice, "Sister Ruyue, where is Sister Qingzhi?"

  Shen Ruyue locked the box and said, "She's in the wasteland, busy with building a house."

  Chu Lanzhen thanked, "Thank you, Sister Ruyue, I have something to do with Sister Qingzhi."

  Shen Ruyue nodded, "Then go quickly."
