The two returned to the Qingyin Academy. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Cuiwei greeted them and said, "Why did you guys come back so early today?"
Qin Tian smiled and said, "We have something to tell my wife, is my wife awake now?"
"Wake up, shopkeeper Liu and steward Jiang have just arrived, and are now talking to the eldest wife." Cuiwei said while lifting the thick cotton 'door' felt.
When Qin Tian followed Zhuang Xinyan in, he felt a surge of heat blowing towards his face, during which there was a mixture of sandalwood and medicinal smells. After entering, saw the eldest wife leaning on the 'bed', Manager Xu and Steward Wang sitting on the side, there was a gilt-gilt lotus 'flower' heater in the room, and the silver charcoal inside was flashing. .
When Yueniang saw them come in, she quickly asked the maid to set up a chair for Zhuang Xinyan to sit down. He also asked someone to bring hot tea to warm them up.
"Why are you here at this time?" the eldest wife said weakly, leaning against the pillar of the 'bed'. During this period of time, her "color" was not very good, her face had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were also dull. Fortunately, Dr. Zhou said that the eldest wife's illness is not a serious problem, as long as she takes a good rest and recuperates for a while, she will be fine.
The shopkeeper Xu and the steward Jiang next to him seemed to have no "spirit" because of the situation of the tea shop.
"Madam, I suddenly thought of something that might solve the current predicament, so I want to talk to you." Qin Tian looked at his wife and said softly.
When the eldest wife, shopkeeper Xu and manager Wang heard this, the eldest wife sat up straight and said, "I just heard from shopkeeper Xu that another batch of tea was blocked, and I was worried about myself, hurry up. Come on, what can you do?"
Qin Tian has given her good advice more than once, and he knows that she is always prudent. If she is not sure, she will never say it. The eldest wife is looking forward to her coming up with good ideas. ( )
Zhuang Xinyan sat on the side and looked at Qin Tian quietly, wondering what kind of good idea she came up with in that little head.
"Ma'am, autumn and winter are the seasons for drinking tea. Most of the tea we sell now is summer tea and autumn tea. We Shengshi can be regarded as a big tea maker in the entire South, and my tea shop should have a considerable amount of tea hoarding. !" Qin Tian looked at the eldest wife and said slowly.
When Zhuang Xinyan heard this, he immediately understood what she meant. There was a sense of relief. Everyone before, including himself, got into a dead end! In fact, many things are not just one solution.
"Madam, there is a limited amount of tea produced in the country every year, and we have a lot of it in Shengshi. Now that our tea can't be shipped out, isn't it possible that many local businesses are out of stock? If you send someone out to find out, maybe now The price of tea has gone up!"
Both the eldest wife and shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up, and they could hear something.
Qin Tian continued to laugh and said: "We are worried about not being able to ship the tea leaves, maybe other tea shops are worried that there is no tea to sell, and we can see that they have no ability to make money! Can't we work together!"
"What a smart little girl!" Manager Xu laughed twice and stood up excitedly, "Yes, yes, we can sell the tea stored in the warehouse to other tea shops, and we can sign a contract with them in advance. The agreement must be sold to the merchant we agreed on before, although there will be some losses during the period, but it is better than breaking the trust of the customer!"
Shopkeeper Wang also smiled and said, "As long as the accounts are calculated clearly, there will not necessarily be any losses, the big deal is to make some less!"
"Yes, this is a solution! At least it can solve the problem at hand!" After speaking, she looked up at Zhuang Xinyan and asked, "Xinyan, what do you say?"
Over there, Haifu was already waiting for the pen and ink, and Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the paper: "I think this method is very good!" After writing, he looked up at Qin Tian, ββQin Tian met his eyes and smiled. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xinyan smiled at him for the first time, which really made Qin Tian, ββwho had always been accustomed to being neglected, "flattered".
At this time, the eldest wife regained some expression on her face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this matter is settled like this, everyone is serious about it, I don't believe that God will really drive out our dealers! "
Shopkeeper Liu and Steward Jiang went out excitedly. After they left, Yueniang walked up to the eldest wife, looked at Qin Tian and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, Qin Tian is really the lucky star of our house! No matter how difficult things are, as long as there is her, there will always be a turning point!"
Qin Tian smiled embarrassedly: "Yueniang praises me too much. As a Zhuang family, of course I have to do my best for Zhuang family. I just hope that what I said is really useful."
"Yes, you are from our banker!" The eldest lady grabbed her hand, her strength was slightly heavy, and her voice was so sincere as if she was saying an oath, "Qin Tian, ββmy wife will definitely not treat you badly!" After speaking, Looking at Zhuang Xinyan to the side again, he felt more and more that his decision was extremely correct.
The eldest wife also understands what it means by not treating Qin Tian badly. It is roughly that she will be given a concubine status in the future, so that she can live happily in the banker's house for a lifetime. This is really a good home for the maid. .
Qin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, but did not say anything, but he was thinking, if the solution he thought of could really solve the problem of the current tea shop, would it be considered a great achievement? At that time, it should not be too much to ask for redemption yourself! Although she was very grateful for her kindness to her, she didn't want to repay her by becoming her son's concubine.
Qin Tian has never changed his desire for redemption and freedom.
At this time, Hai Fu suddenly read out the words written by Zhuang Xinyan: "After the 'spring' opens, I want to come up with a 'door'."
"Out of the 'door'?" The eldest lady asked curiously, "Where are you going?" Then she looked at Qin Tian again.
Qin Tian shook his head quickly, indicating that she didn't know either, and Zhuang Xinyan had never mentioned these things to her.
"I want to go to a place where there is a kind of tea that I always think has a lot to do!"
Qin Tian immediately understood what he meant, "The eldest young master is talking about the tea leaves brought back by Mr. Xie's friend, but didn't Master Feng say that that kind of tea can't replace Huqiu?"
"I still remember Zhou Gongzi said that the best kind of tea should be 'Spring' tea. I want to see it in person after the 'Spring', stay in the local area for a while, and study the production method carefully," Zhuang Xinyan He picked up the pen and came back to his senses, and then wrote: "Since there can be tea with fruity aroma, there must be a way to preserve the fruity aroma of the tea. It's not that there is no such method, but we haven't found it yet, as long as If I can find the right way to make it, I think that kind of tea is not much better than Tiger Hill!"
"And..." Zhuang Xinyan was calm and wrote like flying, "Our cooperation with other tea shops will not last long..."
"Yes," the eldest wife nodded, "it won't be long before the prefect will receive the news. He only needs to say a few words or two to make it difficult for him to get involved in tea, and there will be no more tea shops that dare to cooperate with us.Β β¦β
"So, the key is to find a tribute tea that can replace Huqiu. As long as we can have this kind of tea that is not inferior to Huqiu, and then find a way to present it when the emperor comes to Yangcheng, it will not be difficult to regain the title of tribute merchant. , by then, we will have the capital to deal with the prefect!" Writing this, Zhuang Xinyan looked up at Qin Tian, ββand wrote: "If it succeeds, this will belong to us, an irreplaceable force!"
The cooperation with the tea shop went very smoothly. As the chief shopkeeper of Shengshi, Shopkeeper Liu had a certain relationship with other tea shops, and it was not difficult to get in touch. As Qin Tian said, because a large number of tea leaves in Shengshi could not be shipped out, there was a short-term shortage in the market, and tea rose. Some tea shops have run out of tea to sell. The large number of high-quality tea leaves of Shengshi is what the tea industry urgently needs. So mutually beneficial to both sides of the business, naturally hit it off.
It was a long night, and shopkeeper Liu signed the contract as quickly as possible, but he also disturbed the second room and the government. Shopkeeper Liu spent one night secretly shipping the goods. By the time the second room got the news, most of the tea hoarded by Shengshi had been sold. , not only shipped the goods to the customers in time, but also ensured the credibility, and earned another sum of money, and gave red envelopes to the workers to celebrate the New Year. Therefore, this New Year is more lively and happier than imagined. The eldest wife also relaxed a little because of her "spirit", and her body also improved.
When Master Hu received the news and secretly warned Yangcheng that other tea shops should not cooperate with Shengshi, it was already after the Spring Festival. After the opening of the "Spring", there will be new teas available, so there is no need to worry about the source of tea. Yangcheng Tea Shop will naturally not offend Master Hu because of its prosperity.
Although haven't thought of a solution yet, the new tea still needs to be collected. The eldest wife sent the tea manager to contact the tea farmers, and ordered the 'Mao' tea as soon as possible. only found out after went there. Because the official tea was cancelled, the commercial tea was on the rise, and the tea merchants In order to scramble for new tea, raise prices and compete with each other, the price of 'Mao' tea has risen by 30%. Even so, the competition is 'intense'. Fortunately, the eldest wife has always been benevolent, and holds a lot of weight in the hearts of tea farmers. Many tea farmers leave the tea to the eldest wife and do not sign it to others. The eldest wife was 'thankful' for their kindness, and took the initiative to add 30% of the price, just like other tea shops, so as not to let them suffer.
The tenth day of the first lunar month
Standing behind Zhuang Xinyan, Qin Tian looked around at the magnificently decorated Xie family hall, all red sandalwood furniture, famous calligraphy and paintings, and superb orchid 'flowers', showing the wealth of the Xie family everywhere.
Qin Tian couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is the life of a corrupt capitalist...
Just thinking about it, he saw Nicholas Tse walking in with a smile, surrounded by a few servants. He was wearing a black 'color' brocade cotton robe, with a glossy and slippery fox 'hair' scarf around his neck, and also on his sleeves. Half a foot thick of the same 'color' fox's fur, such a deep and heavy 'fur' fur can only be worn by tall and burly people.
When Nicholas Tse entered the 'door' and saw Zhuang Xinyan, he laughed twice, his voice was bold and wanton, "What kind of wind blows Mr. Zhuang, it's a rare visitor, Xie is very honored!"
As he said that, he looked past Zhuang Xinyan and looked at Qin Tian behind him.
: Huqiu tea is not a nonsense. It has its own tea in history. The real Huqiu tea has become extinct. It was destroyed by the monks of Huqiu Temple by cutting off the roots~~
