Mingmen Family

Chapter 171
She raised her head and looked directly into Lu Guanyi's eyes earnestly: "I know, we have limited funds. The mountain land we bought today is not expensive, but the land is large, and we have to pay 2 to [-] taels of silver. People clean up, we need to buy Zhuang slaves to build Zhuangzi, we also need to build teahouses in Xin’an, and we need money everywhere.”

When the two parties originally cooperated, opening a teahouse was not included in the scope of cooperation.But Ye Yaming wanted the teahouse to be the central hub for managing tea gardens and buying and selling tea in the local area, and Lu and Qi needed to maintain the relationship with the local government. Naturally, this was not a matter of the Ye family, but a matter of both partners.

It's just that time was tight before, and everyone was busy shopping around to buy tea, and it was difficult for Lu Qi and Qi to mention it, so this matter has never been brought up.

Now that Ye Yaming explained clearly about the construction of the teahouse, Qi Ji felt relieved.

But he still confirmed: "Miss Ye, what do you mean, the teahouse is considered a partnership between us?"

Ye Yaming laughed: "Naturally. Without your relationship with the government, this tea house would not have been built with the Ye family alone, and it would have closed down soon after it was built. Mr. Lu is willing to take the [-]% of the dry shares. It’s also on your face.”

It is impossible for Lu Xuanlin to cooperate with businessmen to open various shops.Once this head is opened, it will be incredible.The shops in Xin'an City gave away dry stocks one after another, and he became rich overnight, but troubles also came, and Wushamao soon lost his protection.

The reason why they are willing to cooperate with them is nothing more than the identities of Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji.

Hearing these words made Qi Ji feel at ease physically and mentally.

To be honest, as the second generation of a family official, he has never been so humble in his life.This time, he had the cheek to come to the door to ask for cooperation. If the money he earned didn't matter to him, he wouldn't do it if he was beaten to death in the future.

Now that he thinks that he has his own share of the income of the teahouse, he can earn a large portion of the family business with his own ability. He is full of energy, and he thinks it is okay to be a grandson with a smile on his face.

Now he feels that Lu Guanyi's vision is better.

Ye Yaming has hills and valleys in her chest and a long-term vision. She is a man who does great things and is better than many men.Such a woman, no wonder his brother was tempted by her.

He turned his head to look at Lu Guanyi, and sure enough, he saw the sparkle in Lu Guanyi's eyes.

Qi Ji coughed lightly, nodded and said, "Then we won't be polite."

Lu Guanyi continued: "Miss Ye don't have to worry about money. The money we pooled didn't cost much, but the tea sets sold during the Chinese New Year were quite profitable. As long as you think the land at Qimen is good, you can spend it again." It doesn’t matter if you buy a tea mountain with 2 taels of silver. The spring tea is coming out soon, and you still say that you will make new tea, and then it will be another income. We don’t need money in our accounts, and it’s no problem to build a tea house.”

"That's good." Ye Yaming said with a smile.

In fact, she had a rough idea of ​​the money on the books.But after spending so much money to buy a tea mountain, she has to explain it, so as not to create a rift between the two parties.

After taking care of chores, Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji naturally couldn't rest the next day, and started to buy and hire people. Ye Hongrong was also driven by Ye Yaming to worry about it with them.

On the third day, they went to Qimen.

After staying in Qimen for three days and buying a piece of mountain land, the mission of this trip is considered complete.

Although there are many places suitable for tea production in Huizhou, famous teas such as Taiping Houkui, Lu'an Guapian, and Huoshan Huangya all come from Huizhou.But their financial resources and energy are limited, and it is impossible for them to become fat with one bite.

The benefits are touching, she brought out too much tea, even Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji's current power can't protect them, it's definitely a misfortune rather than a blessing, people should not be too greedy.

So Ye Yaming plans to produce fried green tea and black tea this year; three years later, if the situation permits, she will produce Keemun black tea.As for other teas, it can only be determined according to the situation.

"Girl, Fang Xing is back." Bai Rui reported.

"So fast? Tell him to come in." Ye Yaming said in surprise.

When they set off in Fuxi, Fang Xing didn't come to Qimen with them, but went to Xiuning.

Ye Yaming originally thought that it would take a few days for Fang Xing to catch up with them who were going back, but he didn't expect that he would come back before he set off.

"Girl." Fang Xing came in and saluted.

Ye Yaming looked at him in a hurry, and said, "Thanks for your hard work."

Ask again: "How is it?"

Fang Xing shook his head: "No. The villain went to Xiuning to inquire. There is a mountain called Songluo Mountain, and there are several temples on the mountain. The villain checked every temple, and there is no such person as the generous monk you mentioned."

Ye Yaming asked again: "Is there tea produced there?"

Fang Xing shook his head again: "No. The monks and nuns on the mountain all go down the mountain to buy tea."

Ye Yaming was silent.

Before coming to Huizhou, she sent people to look for the Huqiu Temple in Suzhou, but they could not find Monk Dafang.

That’s right, dynasties have changed, and those familiar dynasties, emperors, and celebrities in history can’t be found in this time and space, so where can there be a generous monk?

She let out a breath, and the other party said fortunately: "Go and rest. We will set off tomorrow, and you should rest in the carriage for two days."

After Fang Xing left, Guan Ting asked curiously, "Miss Ye, why did you go to find this monk?"

Bairui and Lue also looked over.

"Oh, I read in a miscellaneous book that this monk named Dafang is very good at making tea, so I want to see if there is such a person, or if the author made it up." Ye Yaming said.

"That must be a nonsense." Guan Ting said indifferently.

Ye Yaming smiled, but did not speak.

Osmanthus tea is a reprocessed tea, the origin of which cannot be verified, but it is only said that during the Tang and Song Dynasties court ladies used it to increase body fragrance.But Monk Dafang, the creator of fried green tea, has a name and a surname and is the closest to the era she traveled through.

She didn't send someone to look for it, because she really didn't feel at ease taking the name of the creator of fried green tea on herself.

As a traveler, it is inevitable to bring the knowledge and skills of later generations and make some things come out in advance.

She can use the author name Lu Yu for "The Classic of Tea", but she can't say that the fried green tea was created by the generous monk in Songluo Mountain, can she?
It would be nice if there really was a generous monk in Songluo Mountain, but there is none now. If she said that the fried green tea was created by a generous monk, do you believe that there will be several generous monks on Songluo Mountain tomorrow?

Not all monks are pure-hearted and ascetic, not to mention that various forces may be involved later.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles, she had to have the cheek to say that the fried green tea was created by herself, just like osmanthus tea.

It was already February when they returned, and the weather was much warmer.When the weather is fine, Ye Yaming will get out of the carriage and ride a horse for half a day, and the journey is much faster than when he went.

"Hey, Ming'er, slow down, and be careful not to fall." Ye Hongrong watched Ye Yaming and Guan Ting's horseback riding competition, trembling with fear, kept yelling from behind.
