Chapter 20 I, Qin, am used to living in seclusion
Early the next morning.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Qin Wenyuan and Changle both got up.
Qin Wenyuan was preparing to go to the tea garden to pick some things.
Changle prepared meals at home so that Qin Wenyuan could have hot meals as soon as he came back.
It can be said that both of them had their own goals early in the morning.
Similarly, perhaps because they had decided to plant a tea garden yesterday, both of them were full of fighting spirit.
Qin Wenyuan headed towards the tea garden early in the morning.
The tea garden is not far away and can be reached in a quarter of an hour.
There is a tea garden at the doorstep.
This is mainly because Baiyun County is known as the "Chang'an Tea Town", and most of the tea cakes used by the kings and nobles in Chang'an City to make tea come from Baiyun County.
Qin Wenyuan came to the huge tea garden and looked at the endless tea plantations, feeling deeply moved.
Perhaps, this tea garden has a big reason why I chose to do business with tea.
He smiled and told an old man that he wanted to pick some tea leaves to take back. The old man agreed without hesitation.
Picking words.
The picking method is different for tea grown in different soil conditions.
Tea leaves grown on fertile soil have thick buds and leaves, and can be picked when the new shoots grow to four or five inches, which is roughly equivalent to the maturity of one bud and five or six leaves in later generations.
Tea of this quality is the goal of Qin Wenyuan's trip.
Half an hour later, Qin Wenyuan picked a basket of tea and went home.
As soon as I got home, I saw smoke rising from the house.
this……
Shouldn't it?
Logically speaking, I have been out for half an hour, and my wife started cooking when I, Qin, went out. Now, at least... it should be ready, right?
Why is there still smoke?
Qin Wenyuan was slightly stunned.
He walked in carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
I saw a figure squatting in front of me, hugging his legs with his hands. He seemed to be watching the burning firewood in front of him very seriously.
"lady?"
Qin Wenyuan called out tentatively.
"ah?"
Changle's whole body trembled, and she turned back and forced a smile, saying, "Husband, you're back."
The words fell.
There was a slight silence in the air.
because……
Qin Wenyuan saw the lady with a dark face! !
"puff!"
He couldn't help laughing without paying attention.
This made Changle even more ashamed.
"Ma'am, what did you tell me before you left this morning?"
Qin Wenyuan glanced at it and said jokingly, "It's just steamed cakes, don't worry about me, let me finish picking tea leaves and go home as soon as possible."
"The results of it?"
Qin Wenyuan walked forward, wiping the dark little face with his hands, and smiled again: "In the end, I found that our wife is a little bit unable to cope with it."
Changle blushed, "Husband, it's not true."
"I've already prepared the steamed buns for our breakfast. The reason I started the fire now is mainly to make you some batter for lunch. After all, the food outside is not as meticulous as the one we make at home."
"It's just that... the batter has higher requirements than steamed cakes, so, as you can see, I can't handle it at the moment."
Qin Wenyuan looked at the table with slight surprise when he heard this.
Sure enough, there were already two steamed buns there.
It's piping hot, and the color looks quite appetizing.
The corners of Qin Wenyuan's mouth twitched suddenly. Originally, he wanted to see his wife make a fool of herself, and then teach her how to cook with a smile, so as to bring the two of them closer together again.
Now it seems that I really thought too much!
Madam, you didn’t give Qin any chance at all!
He really didn't expect that, after only teaching Changle how to make steamed cakes once yesterday, he could actually make it just like he did, and his cake was almost the same as his.
My wife is really smart!
"Ahem, this... Madam, let me do this first. I'll come back later and teach you how to make the dough."
Qin Wenyuan had originally intended to make fun of Changle, but ended up discovering that he was the clown. At this moment, he was so embarrassed that he just said "Oh my god" and left.
Changle covered her mouth and laughed secretly when she saw this.
"You bastard husband, let's see if you dare to look down on me again in the future." Changle laughed angrily, feeling very proud.
…
At noon, Qin Wenyuan set off for Chang'an with the third Luban Lock recipe.
At home, Changle was the only one left to process the tea.
Ministry of Works.
"Sir, Young Master Qin, he's coming!" a bailiff shouted.
Lin Youwei immediately put away the files, stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"No need, Lord Lin, I'm here already." Qin Wenyuan walked in with a smile.
Seeing this, Lin Youwei also smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, Master Qin, to come over. Did you bring the third recipe of the Luban Lock?"
Because of Qin Wenyuan's request, they all called Qin Wenyuan "Young Master" on the surface.
But in secret , Lin Youwei still respectfully calls Qin Wenyuan Master Qin.
As for being too young and not suitable, I'm sorry, he has never been a guy who takes advantage of his age.
"I have brought it. As for the fourth formula, I will present it to you in the near future. By then, our transaction will be completely completed." Qin Wenyuan nodded.
Lin Youwei smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, to be honest, your Luban Lock formula has really helped our Ministry of Industry a lot."
"You have no idea how much His Majesty respected your generosity yesterday."
"Mr. Qin, it would be inappropriate for a talent like you to live in seclusion in a corner of the forest. Why don't you..."
"Master Lin, please stop."
Qin Wenyuan refused directly: "I am used to living in seclusion."
I am used to living in seclusion...
The words "used to living in seclusion" immediately made Lin Youwei, the Minister of Works, look up to Qin Wenyuan even more.
The two handed over their work matters, and when it was time to leave, Qin Wenyuan asked: "By the way, Lord Lin, do you know where in Chang'an I can find a place to buy tea cakes?"
"Tea cake?"
Lin Youwei thought for a moment and replied, "I remember there was a Ruyi Tea Cake store in the west of the city. At that time, their store was built with the help of our Ministry of Industry."
"That is one of the only three tea cake shops in Chang'an. The sales of Ruyi tea cakes are not very good, but it is much better than the other two."
"So, if Mr. Qin wants to buy tea cakes, theirs is better."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded, and asked again about the other two tea cakes, and Lin Youwei answered them one by one.
They are the "Changfu" tea cakes from the south of the city and the "Fenghua" tea cakes from the north of the city.
After this questioning, Qin Wenyuan left with a satisfactory answer.
He asked these three companies mainly because he wanted to buy some and then compare the taste with his own tea cakes to see which one was more fragrant and delicious.
It is also more competitive in the market.
In other words, it means understanding the market in advance, which belongs to the market research of later generations.
It took me several hours to run from the west to the south of the city, and from the south to the north. By sunset, I finally bought one.
