Mingmen Family

Chapter 131 I'm going to write a book

It's not their fault either.At present, the tea-producing areas of Dajin are mainly in the Yangtze River Basin and Huainan area, among which Sichuan is the most, followed by Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, Jinghu Road, and Liangzhe Road; Fujian Road has the least production.

After researching the origins of these teas, Ye Yaming was secretly happy.Because at this time in Huizhou Province, only the tea from Shezhou was famous, and in Minzhou Province, only the tea from Jianzhou was famous.

Think about Huangshan Maofeng, Lu'an Guapian, Tunxi Green Tea, Taiping Houkui, Keemun Black Tea in Huizhou Province in later generations, Dahongpao in Fujian Province, Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuyi Rock Tea, Fuding White Tea, Lapsang Souchong, etc. Famous tea, Ye Yaming was about to drool, feeling itchy.

The places of origin of these teas are not yet well-known, and the tea mountains are very cheap, just waiting for her to discover and buy them.

Before Lu Guanyi and the others set off, Ye Yaming wanted to make a point or two.But after thinking about it, it's all right, I plan to let them inquire around first, and run around before talking.

Maybe without her telling, they're headed in the right direction?
But now, they didn't surprise her.

She said: "Grandfather, I heard of two places with excellent tea quality in my dream. One is Huizhou and the other is Fujian."

"Huizhou? Minzhou?" Ye Chongming was taken aback, frowning and thinking about these two places, "It's a bit far away."

Ye Yaming nodded: "It is indeed far away. But it is far away, and it is not well-known. The mountains and tea fields there are extremely cheap. The local government welcomes us to buy tea and grow tea there if we want to."

After all, the tea business is a big taxpayer.In a place with a lot of mountains and little land, if someone can grow tea, make tea and sell tea, the tax they receive every year can increase the local tax by a bit.

Although the tea business is exclusively owned by the imperial court, the tax revenue cannot reach the hands of the magistrates.But isn't there income from selling mountain tops?Don’t you need manpower to grow, make and sell tea?One hair will affect the whole body, and the emergence of a leading industry will drive the local economy.

"You're right." Ye Chongming nodded in agreement with Ye Yaming's point of view, but his brows were still tightly frowned, "It's really too far away. If something happens, we're beyond our reach."

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and the Ye family is not abundant. Visiting Lin'an and Beijing is enough for them to do business. How can they go to Huizhou and Fujian to expand their business?

"Look, we should have sent one person each to buy mountain tops and make tea sets. As a result, your father and your uncle are going to the capital, and I want to stay in Lin'an. Neither can go, so I only sent you Cousin followed Mr. Lu to buy tea, and Mr. Qi was the only one running over to the tea set."

Speaking of this, Ye Chongming sighed.

Dao, the eldest, had one son and two daughters; Yin, the second, had only two daughters; Cai, the third, had only one posthumous daughter; Zhang, the fourth, had two sons and a daughter.

He has four sons, but only three grandchildren.Now only the eldest grandson can be used, and the two grandsons from the fourth house are still little Douding, so they are useless at all.

Originally the fourth child, Ye Hongrong, was useful, but he caused a disaster for the family, and Ye Chongming no longer dared to use him.

"Not to mention now, in the future, your uncle and I will have to sit in Lin'an and the capital separately, and we won't be able to move at all. When we need to make tea in spring, your father won't be able to move even if he stays in the tea factory. In our family, only your eldest brother can follow Lu Young Master and the others do it. It’s fine if your big cousin is capable, but..."

Having said that, Ye Chongming sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.

Even though the Ye family took the tea recipes made by the Ye family and the garden households in Lin'an as shares, it is reasonable to send out only one person.But the status and status of the two parties are not equal. Once the tea business in other places develops, the value exceeds the tea in Lin'an, and it will take a long time. No matter how careless Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji are, the Ye family will feel embarrassed.

Ye Yaming was unhappy when he heard this: "Grandfather, have you forgotten that I'm still there? Can't I be a useful person?"

"You?" Ye Chongming glanced at his granddaughter, "Of course you have to use it, you can do a lot more than your cousin. But you are a girl, and you can't run around with Mr. Lu and Mr. Qi."

Having said that, he wanted to beat his chest again: "It would be great if you were a boy."

Ye Yaming: "..."

"What's wrong with the girl? I'm going to recruit a family at home, you have to use me as a grandson." Ye Yaming stared and pouted coquettishly.

Although Ye Yaming advised the family some time ago, Ye Chongming always felt that she was too rational and had a sense of alienation from Ye's family.

Now that his granddaughter was acting like a baby to him, Ye Chongming was very helpful, stroked his beard and laughed "haha".

"Chengcheng, I'll use you as my grandson." He said perfunctorily at first, and then said earnestly, "I can use you. Just think about it, how do you participate in this business? Can you buy a mountain with Mr. Lu? Or can you go to make tea sets with Mr. Qi?"

Ye Yaming was silenced by Ye Chongming's question.

She can do it herself.Whether it's buying mountain tops with Lu Guanyi or making tea sets with Qi Ji, she can do it.As for reputation, as long as the Ye family doesn't care, she doesn't care.

The problem is that Lu Qi and those two can't.

Back then when she and Ye Hongsheng went to collect Tuancha, Lu Guanyi's boy guarded her with thieves-like eyes, lest she pester Lu Guanyi and marry him.

Now just thinking that Lu Qi and the boy have the same thoughts as that boy, she just avoids them, how could she get close to them?Even if this kind of future stud man has a crush on her, she doesn't like them.

So stay away.

Thinking of this made her depressed.

"That's how it is. I will write a few tea books. One of them will write down all the places mentioned in my dream, and then pretend that this book is handed down by my ancestors. Let your elder brother memorize it by heart, and guide them Go buy it. As long as the big brother puts a lot of effort into selling the tea sets and tea they produce through our teahouses and teahouses, and I continue to come up with new secret recipes for making tea, we will not be doing too little.” she said.

"Is it okay to do this?" Ye Chongming's eyes lit up, "Can you write a book?"

"Yes." Ye Yaming affirmed.

She has the memory of the original owner.As the granddaughter of a scholar and the fiancée of Juren, the original owner has a smart mind and is quite talented in writing poems and articles.It's just that he has little knowledge, and the poems he wrote are small-browed and small-eyed. When they were brought in front of Song Yifeng, Song Yifeng sneered at them, which shocked the original owner.

Ye Yaming himself was also a book lover in his previous life, and his writing style is also good.With the original owner's classical Chinese proficiency as the foundation, and the fact that the travel notes and miscellaneous notes of this era are more inclined to vernacular in terms of diction, it doesn't need to be too brilliant and use all kinds of allusions like dropping a book bag. It is not a problem for her to write some tea knowledge of.
