Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 39 Family Meeting
In particular, Lu Jinyao also heard that some villagers saw that she had dug herbs and sold them for money, and then went up the mountain to dig herbs and sell them in the medicine shop in the town. Just say that Lu Jinyao is a liar, and he didn't make money from digging herbs at all.

If you want to know your confidant, you need to listen to what is behind the scenes.

Therefore, Lu Jinyao released those unremarkable animals just to let them find out what the villagers were saying.

In the evening, when these little spies came back, Yan Yi communicated with them, roughly sorting out his views on the Lu family into three types.

The first one, headed by Gao Shuyan, said that the Lu family's money came from improper sources, that Lu Jinyao was a liar, and that the money might have been stolen or cheated.He also said that the Lu family would be unlucky sooner or later.

By the way, Gao Shuyan also asked Er Gouzi to go up the mountain to dig herbs and sell them for money.The dandelions dug by Er Gouzi only have the flowers on the top, without any roots, stems and leaves, but the dandelions have to be sold together with the roots to get a good price.He didn't show it to the public, so he went directly to the town to sell it. Naturally, he couldn't sell it. After returning home, he was beaten up by Gao Shuyan.

The second type is those who want to curry favor with the Lu family but are full of contempt for the Lu family in their words. These people also think that there is something wrong with the Lu family's money.He also cursed that the Lu family didn't know how to help them even if they had money.

The third type is happy for the Lu family, and some even plan to learn from the Lu family to make money.

Strange to say, the most generous and enthusiastic villagers when the Lu family was poor were the third type. The ones that are not pleasing to the eye are the first ones.

Lu Jinyao had already made a sales plan for the tea, and was just in need of some help from the villagers. With today's incident, the problem of recruiting workers just happened to be solved.

But before that, addressing the rumors is the top priority.

In fact, there is only gossip in this world that cannot be stopped. The more you try to kill gossip, the faster it will spread.

There are several ways to deal with rumors.

The first one is that we are not afraid of the slanting shadow, we can say whatever you want, whatever you like.In this way, the rumors will one day be self-defeating.

It's just that this method requires an extremely strong mind, and it may take several years for the rumors to be self-defeating.

The second is to create a bigger rumor to cover up the rumor about yourself.

This actually takes advantage of people's novelty hunting psychology. After all, it's boring to always talk about the same old rumors.But it seems that it is not so easy to create bigger rumors.

The third is to prescribe the right medicine, find out what these rumors are about, and then do something to destroy the rumors.

Lu Jinyao chose the third option.

But she can't do it alone, she has to wait for her parents to come back and discuss it.

So Lu Jinyao continued to dry the tea while thinking about it.

The tea trees in the Lujia tea garden are all green tea, which is generally not sun-dried in the production process, but is greened after picking.

The finishing methods include steam finishing and heating finishing.

Of course, in Fujian and Guangdong, there are also sun-dried green teas, which are sun-dried.

Lu Jinyao is now in Shandong, so she should not sun-dry these freshly picked green teas anyway.

In fact, Lu Jinyao had her own plans.

After all, the production of tea trees in the Lu family is limited, and the quality is not very good, so Lu Jinyao only chooses to save the part that she wants to drink and the part that she plans to sell. I took it outside to dry.

Originally, when Lu Bingwen saw Lu Jinyao holding tea leaves drying in the sun, he wanted to teach her a few words, but Lu Jinyao said his plan with a smile, and Lu Bingwen didn't care about her.

Lu Bingwen is a man who is capable of writing and martial arts, and has a broad vision, but he has no business acumen. He can only be said to be able to study farming, but he has no idea how to make money after he has achieved results.

Otherwise, if he can grow tea trees in the north, and then improve the yield and quality through research, he will be rich.

Another point is that the Lu family relies on him to be the pillar now, but he doesn't have much time for technological research.

Now that Lu Jinyao can earn enough money for the family to live on, Lu Bingwen is very clear that he is not suitable for business, so he will not stop Lu Jinyao, nor will he put on airs as a parent.

With no worries about food and clothing at home, he has more energy to study agricultural technology.

So even though Lu Jinyao is still a child, she now has a lot of say in the Lu family.

Gossip less, when Lu Bingwen went to the field, he didn't go home for lunch every day, so Lu Jinyao had to wait until evening to express his thoughts.

"Father, I want to find some people in the village to help." Lu Jinyao said, "Now the medicinal food business at Chunyang Temple is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already difficult for me to handle the daily materials alone. And with Renhetang For the business, a large number of medicinal materials need to be dried and planted. By the way, there are also new businesses that need help from people."

"Jin Yao, what are you doing to dry the tea leaves in the yard?" Lian Susu was well-versed and naturally knew the process of making green tea, and felt strange in her heart.

Lu Jinyao smiled and said, "Mom, the quality of our tea leaves is too bad to sell at a good price, so I plan to dry the bad ones and make them into tea pillows. The good quality ones are made into tea pillows." Small tea bags and tea powder, when the time comes, we will go to the town to set up a stall to sell big bowls of tea every big market.”

Lian Susu was taken aback when she heard this, and didn't understand where Lu Jinyao's wonderful ideas came from.

Lu Jinyao blinked and said again: "On weekdays, you can also set up a tea stall at the head of the village... Our village happens to be on the edge of the official road, and there are a lot of people passing by. If you are thirsty on the road, we can also earn a few bowls of tea. Three melons and two dates."

"As for tea pillows, it is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Qian Jin Fang" that "putting tea into the pillow can improve eyesight, clear heart, unblock meridians, cure all diseases, and prolong life." It can improve sleep, relieve fatigue, calm the nerves, Lowering blood pressure, digesting food and sobering up... This tea pillow is ready, I will go to Renhetang to see if they want it, or ask shopkeeper Xu to help find a channel to sell it."

The modern production of tea pillows is generally made of the old leaves and new teas of tea trees picked in that year, and added with sweet-scented osmanthus and other flower materials.Under the action of the plant Osmanthus fragrans, the pillow core tea penetrates the fragrance of the plant flower into the tea body through the gas-liquid circulation technology, and then softens the tea leaves through a special processing technology, so that the tea leaves are not easy to break under the action of pressure.

Lu Jinyao can't do special crafts, and he doesn't have gas-liquid circulation technology, so these are all done by the twin elves.
