Pick up a daughter-in-law to farm

Chapter 1035

It's hard for anyone to have a good day ruined like this.

Uncle Shuanglin's family also gave out 200 taels of silver. Although his family is relatively wealthy, taking out 200 taels of silver would almost wipe out the family's wealth.

Hearing the village chief’s question, he thought for a while: “Apart from the handicrafts we can earn some pocket money, the only thing we have is the grain in the field. Now many people may not even have money to buy oil and salt. The wheat has just been harvested. , it seems that we have to wait for it to dry and sell some.”

Zhang Changshan knew that Sang Yue had borrowed a lot of money from the villagers this time, and if he wanted to return the money to her, it would be difficult without finding a way out.

But Sangyue immediately objected when she heard that everyone was going to sell grain: "This grain is the foundation of life. I don't know what will happen in the second half of the year. How can I sell it? Don't sell it. I have already said my money. Don't worry about it. I won’t rush you anytime.”

Zhang Changshan naturally knows the importance of this food, but there are many places where money is used for meals, and people in the mountains can make up for a few extra meals.

"Daniu daughter-in-law, I know you have a kind heart, but this is not a problem of one or two families, but a problem of the whole village. Now everyone has this little food, but they don't have any cash in hand. I can't even afford salt."

She might still help a family or two, but if there are seventy or eighty families in a village, she wouldn't dare to help even if she had the ability!
Sang Yue thought for a while: "If you really want to sell food, please sell it to me. I will never lower your price."

As soon as she heard that Sang Yue was harvesting grain, people came and went in her yard immediately.

Aunt Qin looked at it and asked, "Ma'am, are you going to put these grains up the mountain or down the mountain?"

Sang Yue remembered Hua Qing's words, and she thought for a while: "Let's put it on the mountain. Anyway, if there are many people in the family, they have to eat. The ones at the bottom of the mountain should be less likely to go up the mountain."

Aunt Qin became Sang Yue's big housekeeper. After she left, Sang Yue sat down and pondered: Maybe when the common people need money, they can use the money to collect more food, so as to prevent those profiteers from lowering the price!
At this moment, Ah Shan Po came in with a basket: "Sangyue, don't you like Malantou? Look, I picked a good handful today, and this is all yours."

As soon as she saw the Malan head in Ashanpo's basket, Sangyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ashanpo, thank you. This is a good thing, and it would be nice to make a cold dish. Come, have a seat."

Seeing that Sangyue really likes it, Ashanpo sat down happily: "If you want to say thank you, I dare not take it. If it weren't for your help this time, my two grandsons would have to go to the battlefield. Sangyue, If you like to eat, I will pick it for you every day."

Ah Shan Po is almost sixty, how can Sang Yue let an old man pick wild vegetables for her?
Sangyue immediately refused: "Ashanpo, if you eat too much of this food, it will not taste good. When I want to eat it again, I will ask you to pick it for me. You sit down first, and I will ask someone to invite the village chief to come. Say something."

Hearing that there was something to do, Ashanpo immediately stood up: "You are busy, you are busy, I happen to be fine anyway, I will call the village chief for you."

On the second day, all the old people, women, and children who surrounded the cottage went up the mountain: the farmer received the green tea leaves, and everyone brought in money...

The method of white tea is relatively simple among green teas, and it does not require any tools.

There are many tools for roasting mushrooms at home, and this is one of the few that Sang Yue thought of when Huo Qigong asked her how to make this tea.

On the third day, there were tea leaves everywhere in the house. Sangyue directed everyone to spread the green tea: "The thickness must be even, and it must not be disturbed after being spread, and then the old leaves and hard stems are selected. The most important part of this white tea is the withering and Drying, if it can be done successfully, everyone will have another way to make money."

Aunt Zhang spread out the tea leaves carefully and asked, "Sang Yue, didn't you fry the tea last year in a pot, why did you do it this year?"

Last year, Sang Yue wasted a lot of tea leaves in order to try out green tea, and the roasted tea leaves looked really ugly.

It's okay to drink by yourself, but it's not enough to sell it.

And this white tea, she can only try it.

If she fails to try, she still has to stir-fry tea.

Although the fried tea is not good-looking, it is delicious.

The two most critical steps of white tea: withering and drying, there are two steps in drying, so Sangyue almost has no choice but to stop.

I have never made this tea Sangyue, I only remember a few steps.

She knew that tea testing would definitely waste a lot of green tea, so she didn't ask anyone to partner up, and just collected the green tea. It's her business whether she makes money or loses.

The tea buds in May also grew, and Sangyue asked everyone to give money for the grade of tea picking. The villagers saw that the finer the tea, the higher the price, and the quality of the tea harvested after two days would be better.

Fang Qiumai felt distressed as she poured out one crop after another: "Sangyue, give me the ones you don't want, and drink from the head office by yourself."

Of course, the poured one cannot be drunk, and Sang Yue was afraid that Fang Qiumai would not believe it, so she asked her to soak it.

Looking at the tea with a strange taste, Fang Qiumai finally stopped talking.

Aunt Qin smiled cheerfully and said, "Sister-in-law Ding is quite frugal. She feels uncomfortable seeing you throwing away the money. You are the only one who throws money around like this. Fortunately, it is you Take care of yourself."

Sang Yue was still making tea, and said with a smile, "Auntie, now you know the reason why I don't want to stay in Qi's family? The needle and thread are all maintained by her hard work. If I do it like this, it’s no wonder she doesn’t feel sorry for her to death? But there is a saying in the world: If you want to get rich, you have to spend money, right?”

Aunt Qin knew that this master was not earning money at all, her money was always enough for her life.

The reason why she still struggles like this every day is because she wants to find a way for the people in the village to survive.

The old master really has a pair of discerning eyes, she said that as long as she can treat the young master faithfully, there is no need to worry about it in this lifetime.

Yes, with such a little master, how could she be more fortunate as an orphan?
Five days later, Ji Zijun's eyes lit up when he saw the tea leaves: "Uncle Ji, do you think it was sent by Sang Yue?"

Shopkeeper Ji nodded: "Daniu's daughter-in-law said that this tea should be available in Beijing, but it should not be available in Luzhou Prefecture. I'll let you see if anyone wants it!"

Just a few days ago, Ji Zijun saw this kind of tea at the household minister's house. Although the shape is different, the taste and color of the brewed tea are very similar.

That kind of tea has a clear color, a sweet aftertaste, and a tangy fragrance. It is pleasing to the eye when paired with the newly launched white jade porcelain cup from Zhuge's family...

I heard that the tea comes from the Huo family, the output is very small, and the price is extremely high...
