Good Farming in Spring - C83 Good tea with a teapot
Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang helped to load the tea leaves and mint onto the horse carriage and sent Liu Yunhe off. Looking at the back of the horse carriage moving further and further away, they became a little excited.
Although Liu Yunhe did this to satisfy the supply of his own shop, he had also disguised himself to increase the income of Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang. The two of them could now go to the mountain everyday, although this business could only last until autumn, once Xia Qiu was done, he would have saved up all his family wealth, so in the future, he wouldn’t have to worry about losing money if he wanted to do anything else.
“Warm Spring, are we going to go up the mountain tomorrow?”
However, he also knew that Lin Chunnuan wanted to build a house, as well as open a house. There were indeed a lot of things that happened, and he didn’t know if she could still go up the mountain every day.
Wangzhige, we have to make more money this summer. Who knows when the mint and tea leaves will fall, if it comes to autumn we will not get any, and if we want to earn more, it will take a lot of thought. “Su Yun said in a low voice.
Lin Chunnuan didn’t know whether this place she was living in was the south or the north. According to the temperature of this month, she felt that it should be slightly north, but a place that could produce tea, no matter how north it was, was nowhere to be found. It would definitely not be able to pass Shandong, because the furthest green tea was produced in Shandong.
Wangzhige, there’s no one at home right now, so let’s keep the money. Our tea leaves and mint are always on the market, and once we have enough money for this gold ingot, we will have more money to spend. There’s no need to spend anything now, just the change in our hands is enough.
“It’s not easy for us to earn money, so we have to save some money. If we don’t have enough money when we use it, we might get angry.”
Dou Wang looked at Lin Chunnuan who spoke like this as she muttered in his heart. She didn’t know who could spend the money, but when she saw Lin Chunnuan spending to buy stuff in the town, his heart ached greatly.
Dou Wang obviously wanted to make a lot of money. When he was living alone, he would go up the mountain to get some small prey to trade with, but his hunting skills were really bad. In the end, he was still young, so he would occasionally get some harvest.
Normally, he would go to the Old Village Head’s house to exchange for something, even if the Old Village Head did not have any, he could still help him go to someone else’s house to exchange something. Dou Wang rarely went directly to someone else’s house to trade, and he was afraid that if someone was unwilling to pay attention to him, he might even get scolded.
If he really needed to buy something, he would hand over the prey to the old Village Head. The old village chief would bring back the things he needed, since he didn’t need much, and he was bored to death going to the town twice, so he went out to see what it was like outside. That was why he went out to sell the prey and exchanged it for some small money.
Even now, Dou Wang didn’t know whether the old Village Head had traded his prey for what he wanted, or if he had exchanged his prey for money and bought the goods for him. However, no matter what, with the old Village Head’s help, he could be considered to have walked over safely after so many years.
As such, Dou Wang had never seen any money before. Most of the time, when he traded items, the amount of money he saw was only around ten or twenty dollars. Right now, he could already see gold and silver as he gathered tea and mint with Chun Wen.
This was the most money he had ever seen, and it was a feeling of extreme excitement, so he felt it now. He was really worried that the spring heat would only affect the building of the house and delay the making of the money, because building a house itself was a matter of spending money.
“Warm Spring has earned quite a bit these days. Look, it’s already two to three hundred taels of silver. I’ve grown up and have never seen so much money before. Now that I think about it, how much is it going to cost?”
Dou Wang managed to dig the floor out of the corner of the barn and reveal the jar of money.
After lifting the cloth from the jar, Dou Wang carefully placed the ingot of gold inside, then covered it again with the cloth before burying the soil and stepping on it. He looked around to the left and right, thinking that nothing could be seen, then pulled up the warm spring that had been watching him as he squatted on the ground, and the two of them left the barn.
“Let’s go up the mountain and chop some bamboo to make a bamboo tube. Since we don’t have much to do in the afternoon, Minzi uncle and the rest should be able to come back at night. From our village to the town, the journey will take too long.”
As they talked, they saw that Zhang Liu and Grandmother Qian’s room had already opened, and the two were currently chatting quietly. It was probably because they were afraid that Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao, who were sleeping, would wake up early in the spring, and upon seeing that Warm Spring had come in from outside, the two of them came out of the house and went in together with Wan-Er.
“The guests have left. The two of you should take a break as well. You’ve been busy throughout the day, so there’s no time to rest.”
Zhang Liu pitied his daughter, and with that, she also pitied her.
“That’s right, your mother just said that you are the only one supporting this house. You can’t get tired, you have to rest up.”
“How can it be like what my mother said. Everyone has to work hard to take care of this house.”
Being praised by the Grandmother Qian, Lin Chunnuan blushed a little.
“I’m just doing what I can conveniently do. I’m just lucky.”
On one side, Lin Chunnuan was being modest, but on the other side, the Grandmother Qian was giving him a thumbs up.
“You are indeed a capable person. It’s not only your mother that praises you, just I came here for half a day and found that you are very good at everything. Don’t look at how small they are, this is not a bad job.”
“The most important thing is that you still have an idea. If you want to do something, you will think of a way to do it, just say it to Second Young Master Liu. If you can contact him to buy from you, I am convinced.
When Zhang Liu heard others praise her own daughter, she couldn’t help but laugh so hard that she couldn’t even close her mouth.
“Yeah, other people’s daughters really can’t compare to our family’s warm spring. We are fast, fast, and fast. There’s nothing she can’t do. As your mother, I have saved so much trouble.”
Lin Chunnuan could not bear to hear the two bragging about him anymore, so she quickly pulled Dou Wang along to get up.
Hearing that the two children were going to leave again, Zhang Liu immediately grabbed them.
“Mom, we’re not sleepy at the moment. It’s just the right time for it to be hot in the afternoon, so going up the mountain would be cooler.”
Lin Chunnuan dragged Dou Wang out of the room and muttered to himself in pain.
“She’s still working at noon when we’re resting. She still hasn’t stopped.”
Of course, Grandmother Qian also heard that Lin Chunnuan was doing work in the kitchen at noon. Although she didn’t know what she was doing, she knew that she wasn’t idle.
“I’m so envious of you for having such a diligent daughter. She’s capable and considerate.”
Aunt Qian, if you don’t want to go back and lie in bed for a while, since we have nothing important to do, I’ll go to the backyard and pluck the grass, and you can help me look after these two children. “” Okay, alright.
Grandmother Qian knew that Zhang Liu would not use her for anything, so she went back inside the house to look at the kids. Zhang Liu was waiting for his daughter and Wang Dong to leave the house, locking the door behind them before going back to the backyard to pluck the grass.
She could help out a lot less with these small jobs. At least when she went to pluck the grass herself, she would not worry about losing her children. She had an old man at home who had a treasure, and with Aunt Qian at home, she felt really relieved.
Zhang Liu was busy in backyard garden for an unknown amount of time, so she could hear the sound of someone knocking on the front door. It was because she couldn’t hear things clearly in the backyard, and should have been opened by Aunt Qian, so Zhang Liu put the grass she pulled down into a blue cloth and carried it out of backyard garden.
If I had known earlier, I would have let the two of you push the two-wheeled cart back to save me the trouble of coming back with them.
Seeing her daughter and the sweat on her forehead, Zhang Liu quickly took out the kernels and wiped it off.
“That’s right, Wangzhige, the two of us didn’t even think of pushing the two-wheeled cart to pull the bamboo, our brains are broken.”
Lin Chunnuan used all her might to smack her head, and Zhang Liu immediately grabbed her hand.
“Silly girl, did you hit your own people? I forgot about it this time, but next time, I’ll just think about it.”
“I also forgot about the two-wheeled cart. In the past, there wasn’t any at home, so I carried everything back myself. To think that I couldn’t remember that there’s one at home right now.”
“Just think about it next time. I’m already tired, so what’s the use of talking about it? I’ll go get some water for you guys. Hurry up and wash your face, it’s nice and comfortable.”
Grandmother Qian picked up the water basin by the door and went to the kitchen to draw water.
“Elder sister, why did you chop so many bamboo and come back? Do you want to use them to build a house?”
Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao had already woken up. When Grandmother Qian opened the door, the two children had already followed them out.
“I don’t need it to build a house. I have other uses for it. I need to use it as a bamboo tube.”
Lin Chunnuan patiently explained to his little sister that she was still young and that she was so cute. Lin Chunnuan had always treated her very well, and would never show any signs of impatience or straightforwardness towards his little sister.
“Warm Spring, you just need to use the bamboo tube. What are you going to use this kind of slightly smaller bamboo tube?”
When Zhang Liu saw that her daughter had not only dragged back a large bamboo shoot, but also brought back two or three slightly smaller bamboo shoot, she was really curious as to what use she would have these bamboo shoot that was not thick enough.
“These things are of great use. If they really are done, then it would be worth more than these large bamboos. However, before it is done, I must keep it a secret.”
Lin Chunnuan still wasn’t sure if she could succeed or not, but she had to see Nail’s cooking skills before deciding not to do this.
“Fine, keep it a secret. Daughter has a lot of thoughts, but it’s not a secret, so you can handle it yourself. Now go to the house and rest for a while. You haven’t been resting since morning.”
Seeing that his daughter had finished washing her face, Zhang Liu pushed the Warm Spring into the room. Dou Wang also returned to his room.
Lin Chunnuan laid down, her mind still planning to use a thin bamboo tube to make a teapot, with exquisite carvings on it, she did not know if it could improve the quality of the tea leaves, if it could improve the quality, then this teapot would have to sell for more money, a good horse and a good saddle, the best tea in the house needed to be matched with a good teapot.
