At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

The next morning, An Ningning followed An Laoer to Shitai County and took her to the banquet. Simply An Ning Ning is a small person, and it won't attract anyone's attention. Moreover, after looking at the situation, the uncle and nephew will discuss countermeasures.

Boss An sent them to the county town today, and An Ningning sat on the donkey cart with an expressionless face.

The mountain road is not as easy to walk as imagined. People who want to sleep peacefully cannot sleep peacefully. In this troubled world, weakness is the original sin.

You are weak, so no matter how many good things you have, you cannot keep them. If you are weak, someone will grab your market and make money from you.

Just like burning bricks, when you first enter the market, as long as the price is cheap, it is easy to sell some. But if it wants to develop and grow, it will inevitably compete with the original brick factories for the market. The market share is so big, either you do it or I do it.

Nowadays, except for some businessmen, most of those who can engage in business are controlled by aristocratic families. If many businessmen are not powerful, it will be difficult to grow.

In the past few years, she and An Laoer spent a lot of time and energy to maintain the output of special events, so that they could have a place under the squeeze of special events in Shilibacun.

This is true for bricks, and so is tea leaves.

An Laoer hugged his little niece and carefully used his body to block the slightly cool morning wind.

Looking at this girl's blank expression, I knew she was thinking too much.

"Don't worry, it's okay. At worst, I'll leave the tea-making process to them." An Lao'er seemed to be comforting An Lao'er, but he didn't seem to be comforted.

An Ningning was about to explode when she heard this, "That's our tea-making technology. We haven't even made money with the new tea-making technology yet?"

An Laoer patted his little niece again, who was about to turn into a pufferfish with anger, "It's okay, it's nothing more important than the safety of our family."

An Ningning became paralyzed instantly. Nothing was more important than the safety of her family. Those people didn't use extreme measures, and they weren't worried about the whole family running away. The whole family and the whole clan live in Xiushan Village? They moved the whole village here, and within a few years of settling down, there were hundreds of people, and they didn't just run away.

"It's okay. Do you have any other tea-making techniques over there? We can't keep this one, so we'll try other ones."

"But we're not giving it to them for free, right? I originally knew the craftsmanship of black tea, and I wanted to try it on autumn tea this year." An Ningning was still a little unwilling. Since she couldn't make money from tea, she would just make tea. Make money in craftsmanship!

"Well, it depends on the situation! You may not necessarily want our tea-making skills today." An Laoer looked at his little niece in such an atmosphere and comforted her against her will.

Although he himself knew that what he said was a bit false, the world had changed. Even if it is not a time of chaos, it is difficult for ordinary people to keep their things.

Rich families have money and background, and what they want can always be obtained by various means. What's more, these are troubled times, and ordinary people have no chance of winning against the powerful.

After arriving at the county government office, Boss An went to do other things and came back to pick up An Ningning in the afternoon.

The county magistrate's family lives behind the county government office, and banquets are also held in the main room in the backyard. When they arrived, there were already about ten people in the living room, including young people and most of them middle-aged and elderly people. An Ningning looked around and felt that these people were all smiling, with a bit of excitement in their eyes that she couldn't suppress.

An Ningning pulled An Lao'er and pretended to be scared. After An Lao'er simply said hello, he hugged his little niece and sat in the corner.

It feels so bad to be treated like a knife and a fish while I'm being treated like a fish. Those who came today look like old foxes!

The two poor little ones were shivering!

The county magistrate came neither early nor late. It was obvious that he came in at a good time.

After the county magistrate arrived, the elders who were sitting all stood up and gathered around to greet each other. They chatted in a circle, and the time for two sticks of incense passed.

Butler Liu came over to invite everyone to sit down. Nowadays, banquets are divided into separate meals, and An Laoer's seat was arranged at the seat of the county magistrate. An Ningning sat on the same seat as An Laoer. In the eyes of others, An Ningning basically came here just to see the world and have a meal. The first course was steamed mutton, which is a common menu for people to eat nowadays. Because two people were sitting together, even An Ningning got a small plate of mutton. An Ningning looked at the mutton and felt nothing. Yesterday he had roasted lamb legs, steamed lamb, and braised lamb. Today, this mutton didn't appeal to him.

The second course was chicken, each person had a small plate. An Ningning and An Laoer didn't care what others were doing, they just ate their own dishes.

Unexpectedly, before the third dish was served, An Laoer had already been named and toasted by the county magistrate.

Well, no way! Do they want to talk about it after the second uncle is drunk?

How can the county grandpa not drink when he proposes a toast to An Lao Er?

This was like a signal, and the people behind him toasted An Laoer one after another. An Ningning pulled An Lao'er, and An Lao'er stood up and apologized. He really couldn't drink anymore and would make a fool of himself while drinking.

"Wen Zheng, you are indeed a scholar. Even when you drink, you are so restrained. I heard your Dean Wang talking about you, and he was full of praise for you!"

"The county magistrate is so complimentary."

"I heard from people outside Jia Yuan that your Anjia Tea Garden has a new tea-making technique. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"Well, there is an improved tea-making technique, which was accidentally developed by my niece and the tea-making master." At this time, there is no use in quibbling.

They have all gathered together, sharpening their knives and thinking about grabbing it.

"Oh, your niece, but this little girl next to you?" Mr. Liu County asked deliberately.

In fact, when I learned about this unique tea-making process, I even found out how many chickens the An family raised.

"Exactly."

"This girl is very young! Little sister, why do you think of improving the tea-making process?"

"I accidentally discovered that our family fled famine, and thanks to the county magistrate, we settled in Xiushan Village. The land allotted to us was suitable for growing tea seedlings. Before we fled famine, we were farming and didn't know much about growing tea.

However, my family is poor and I can't afford to drink group tea. Would it be okay if I had the chance to make some loose tea? It happened that the tea seedlings were transplanted exactly two years ago last year, so I picked them and tried making them. The first batch of tea came out very little, I just thought about how to make it carefully. So I thought about slightly improving the tea making process. "

"Hahaha, you little girl, you are so courageous." The fat Jia Yuanwai interjected.

There are many tea gardens in Jia's family outside the courtyard, including a thousand acres of tea gardens in Shitai alone. He is a big tea merchant in his own right, so it is not surprising that he is eyeing Anjia's tea-making skills.

"Yes, I see you are a very courageous little girl. Are you willing to reveal your tea-making skills to the public? To benefit the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty?"

When An Ningning heard this, she wondered why this man had such a big face. When he saw it, he turned out to be a young man. When he first arrived, he heard others greet him as if a big family was in charge of the family business.

But what does it have to do with her? Free disclosure should not benefit the people of Zhou Dynasty, but can only enrich the pockets of people like them.

Those who can afford to drink tea in Dazhou are definitely not the working people at the bottom who are hungry and homeless.
