Qing Che Ruyi

Chapter 19 Business

I fantasized about the appearance of gold and silver in front of me, and I was silly. The tiger head came out of the kitchen and saw me with a blooming face and said, "Sister, what are you thinking? So happy?"

I raised my head, and the tall and strong body of the tiger's head covered me from the dazzling sunshine. I smiled obediently and said softly, "I'm thinking about making money by selling tea in the future, so that the tiger head brother and aunt can live a good life."

"Can these dry leaves really make money?" The tiger head pinched a piece of prepared tea and asked me with a face of disbelief.

I took the tea in his hand and said, "Wait and see. In the future, when the girl makes money, I will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law for you." After saying that, I looked at the tiger's head proudly and successfully saw two scarlet scarlet on his face.

"I don't want it." After saying that, Hutou turned around and left, leaving me in the courtyard with a treacherous smile to continue to make tea.

These days, I have gradually become familiar with the tiger head, and I will play some harmless jokes with him when I have nothing to do. What I said most is the problem of finding a daughter-in-law. Every time I talk about this, the tiger head will blush and hide away. And I always smile brightly, happier than getting married. But to tell the truth, it's time for the tiger head to get married. He is only one year younger than his brother Yan Yingchen and has reached the age of marriage. It was only because the family was too poor and there was no suitable girl that it was delayed. If you can make money in the future, you must be a good matchmaker for the tiger head. A good old man like him must have a good girl to match.

I wrapped all the tea one by one and put them in the basket. I'm going to take them to the town for publicity tomorrow. Brother Tiger Head--" I opened the loud voice I came to practice today and called him to the tiger head's room.

"What's the matter?" The tiger head leaned out half of the door and asked me.

I clapped my hands, stood up from the small stool, and said with a smile, "Let's go to town tomorrow and deliver this tea."

"What? Send it out? We won't sell it?"

"Don't ask so much. You're right to listen to me." I looked at the tiger's head confidently. He scratched his head and said, "Oi. That's what the girl says.

At noon, I made dumplings for Hutou and Aunt Zhang, making carrots and potato fillings. Fan Zhen told me this when I was in college. She said that she had eaten dumplings with this kind of stuffing at a relative's house, and they tasted very good, so I boldly tried them. I didn't think about it. It was really memorable. The tiger head ate three plates at once. As a chef, I laughed so much that I couldn't close my mouth.

After lunch, I walked alone outside the village as usual. Since I arrived in Fan Village, I have developed such a strange habit. When others take a nap, I run out to practice. My original purpose was not to exercise, but I don't know why I slept less and less. If I sit at home all the time at noon, I feel bored and feel more comfortable to go out for a walk.

Spring is coming, and Fan Village no longer looks so desolate. The grass on the roadside broke out of the ground, and it was hairy and green. On the abrupt old branches, there also began to be tender buds. I paced slowly and felt a little uneasy. Essentially, I am not a person who is content with the status quo. I like to shuttle through the complicated world, but I will yearn for peace after a long time. So the mood will always be very contradictory. Just like now, my life is too plain, and I will feel more or less unwilling.

As I walked forward and was about to reach Uncle Xu's house, I suddenly stopped, and a familiar sense of fear surged into my heart. Where has this feeling of being monitored? I turned around and looked around, and there was no one behind me. I took two more steps forward and was shocked. Yes, I felt like this when I fell off the horse and pretended to be injured and carried me back to Qinyuan. There was a mocking smile on the corners of my mouth. Did I find it after all? It seems that a woman's sixth sense can't be underestimated, and her insight in this kind of thing is equally powerful.

I stood still, slowly turned around and said in my loud voice, "Please come out and talk." For a long time, only the breeze brushed the broken hair in my ear, and there was no other movement. I stood still and waited for the man to come out by himself with my hands down. I believe that my intuition will not be wrong, but I don't know if I am a clear person.

After another stalemate, I thought that the man didn't want to hide anymore. When I saw the feet of the cyan robe under an ancient tree not far in front of me move, I saw Luo Yan, who left from the wind and the inn that day.

The smile on the corners of my lips was deeper, which was indeed Li. He mastered my every move so clearly, but he didn't move. Yes, if it was Che, how could he calm down like this? I'm afraid he would have tied me to Linsheng for a long time. Thinking of Che, my heart slipped through the warmth, and I didn't know whether he was doing well now.

"Miss." Luo Yan knelt on one knee and lowered his head to me. I came back and said in a strange tone, "Don't be too polite."

"When did you come?" I asked Luo Yan lightly, if he had never left, I wouldn't be surprised. The people cultivated by Li must be so cautious and meticulous.

"It's been a month since I went back to Miss."

"Did Li ask you to do this?"

"My lord ordered me to protect you secretly."

"When was this order?"

"When I left Liangcheng, I told him. It is said that if the young lady does not want to return to Liangcheng, she must take good care of the young lady, but she must not let the young lady know. So I have been living in Sui County since I left the Fengziroom Inn that day with my subordinates.

"But unexpectedly, I left the Fengziroom Inn and escaped?"

Luo Yan didn't say anything, and I laughed bitterly. Li, he still endured like this. I slowed down and said, "Luo Yan, thank you for your hard work." I didn't say more. You know, it's self-evident how much it took to find me in this remote land of the poor mountain in only two months.

"It's Luo Yan's incompetence that failed to protect Miss." He lowered his head in a sincere tone and full of self-reproach. I was slightly moved, Li and clear. What kind of man can make such an excellent man so loyal.

"If you tell me everything, you won't be punished, will you?"

"I told you not to hide a word from you."

I sighed deeply, can't I really escape these? No, I don't want to do this. I must live my own life.

"Luo Yan, I won't go with you. Go back. Go back and tell Li that the current life is what I want. I'm fine so that he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Please marry his sister, and I will always bless him.

After listening to my words, Luo Yan's black-and-white eyes flashed a trace of intolerance, but he still knelt down and saluted. After getting up, he walked away without looking back. He was not dragging at all, which made me doubt my eyes. Is this what Li explained that you can't force me to do anything?

Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I walked back. The originally idle walk was quite disturbed by this sudden encounter. Back at Zhang's house, I brought my own basket and prepared to go to the mountain to pick tea. Just as he was about to go out, the tiger head pushed the door out of the room. Seeing my figure, he was slightly stunned and then smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

I had a smile on my face that was not much more than crying, and I went out with the tiger head. Maybe it was because of my low mood. As soon as I got to the mountain, I began to attack the tea tree. He opened his bow left and right, and soon piled up a hill-like pile at the bottom of the basket. The tiger head saw my sad face and wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed the words into his stomach. I pretended not to see it and continued to pick tea by myself. I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I will tell the truth. In that case, maybe I should really leave.

All afternoon, I was in a trance and always felt that someone was staring at me. But I also know in my heart that Luo Yan has left, and there can be no one else. I don't know how long I can live such a peaceful life in Fan Village. Since Luo Yan can find it, will it be far away? After all, what should be faced can't be avoided.

The next day, I bravely went to the town with the tiger's head. It's not that I'm not afraid of meeting people, but it's not a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster that I can't avoid. After all, I've been afraid of it. After all, it's not the way.

Hutou and I set up a small tea table. In fact, we rented a table from the restaurant next to it and rented teacups and hot water from them. I really have to sigh that money can make ghosts grind. This is the same in any generation. It's really an unchanging truth.

I instigated the tiger's head to sell it for me, "Free tasting, free tasting." Sure enough, things that are free can attract customers. I smiled and handed the tea to everyone to taste. When I met someone who thought it was delicious, I took out the tea wrapped in advance and sold it to him. However, at the end of the day, not many people bought it, but many people tasted it. When closing the stall, the tiger's face couldn't help but feel a little gly. I patted him and said, "Brother Tiger's head, this is only the first day. Let's try a few more days, and we will definitely succeed."

The tiger nodded and gave me a warm smile, and we were ready to go back with the rest of the tea leaves. As soon as I took two steps, I was stopped by the people who caught up behind me. I turned around and saw that it was the owner of the restaurant where we rented tables and tea cups.

"Two brothers, please wait a moment."

I looked at him doubtfully, "What's wrong with Boss Zhou? Today's rent has been settled.

"No, no, brother, you misunderstood. I just want to ask if you can sell me some of your tea?"

I pondered and said, "Boss Zhou, I have a proposal. I wonder if you can agree?"

"Please speak."

"Our tea is sold in your store and sold by you. We earn three or seven cents of the money we earn. If we don't make it, how about our own?

"Ok, but I can still listen to the conditions put forward by my brother."

"First, this tea must be sold under the name of our Zhangjia Tea House. Second, if any customers are willing to buy it, please strongly recommend it. I'll give Boss Zhou two or eight points for the other money for selling tea. Do you think it's okay?

Boss Zhou pondered for a moment, as if he felt that he had no loss, so he agreed. Then I went to his store and signed a sales contract with him for half a year. Then I left some tea, and I went back to Fan Village with Hutou.

"Sister, why did you promise Boss Zhou?"

"I have seen before that Boss Zhou's restaurant is doing very well in the town, and there are many merchants. So at the beginning, I had to set up a stall next to his shop to attract more attention. Now that he takes the initiative to buy our tea, of course, he can't let this opportunity to let more people know about us. With fame and reputation in the future, tea will sell better.

The tiger head seemed to understand and said, "The girl is still thoughtful."

"Brother Hutou, I have to go up the mountain to make tea tomorrow. Go to Boss Zhou's shop and take care of it. Don't let them neglect us. When you get there, Brother Hutou, don't talk to them more and see how they act, so that it will be better if we have a shop in the future.

The tiger head nodded seriously. In fact, I'm still worried. The tiger head is too honest. It's hard to guarantee that a treacherous person like Boss Zhou will not bully him. But if he is not trained now, how can I rest assured to help him open a tea shop and leave the shop to him to take care of it?
