The group stayed on board the "Memorial" for two days, until Qiwu Cong and Yin County brought news that Yin County Magistrate had a disagreement with the Ningbo Youth Gang and posted a notice to hunt down the Shu Yi brothers and sisters. Yinzhen decided to
Set off south to Fujian. The transport is this almost brand-new "Memorial".
However, since Locke has not returned yet, the person driving the "Memorial" can only be Liu Qing, who has just learned to drive for a year and was trained by Locke as the deputy captain. Fortunately, Ningbo is not far from Fujian, and driving this distance is difficult for him.
It’s not a problem for Liu Qing.
After preparing all the food, vegetables and fresh water needed for the journey, on February 25th, the "Memorial" slowly set sail under the helm of Vice Captain Liu Qing.
Shu Yi and others, who had never seen such a big ship sailing, stood on the deck in amazement, looking up at the slowly rising sail, feeling excited and fascinated in their hearts. I heard that this big ship was going to sea to go to other countries.
’s... I heard that Liu Qing and others went to sea and came back... I heard that their current master planned to build factories and ships... I heard...
Many rumors made them feel excited... I hope that one day, like Liu Qing and Wu Qiang, they can not only serve Si Age, but also create a clear and comfortable life for themselves!
"Yes! Brother, we will one day be like Captain Liu and Sister-in-law Liu. Although I don't understand this ship or the technology...but I at least have the opportunity to marry someone who understands this knowledge and does these things.
People..." Shu Sanniang stared at the big sails rustling in the wind above her head, and thought to herself hopefully.
Jin Xi had chatted with her for a few words and introduced all the employees on the "Memorial", especially one of the young captains named "Locke". Although she had never seen her face or heard her voice, she
Jinxi's detailed and truthful description has already convinced Shu Sanniang, who has never stepped out of Ningbo. If given a chance, Shu Sanniang secretly decided that she would take the initiative to get to know him - Locke...
Just like that, Jinxi unintentionally took a big step closer to the road of matchmaking.
"You can stay in Fujian for a few more days. Then I will take you to climb Wuyi Mountain and enjoy the Gulangyu Island of the Qing Dynasty... By the way, take a look at the thousand-year-old rock tea tree known as the king of tea trees." Yinzhen stood holding Jinxi in his arms.
In front of the guardrail on the deck, facing the warm and refreshing spring sea breeze, the two of them chatted.
However, as soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Jinxi glanced at him angrily and said, "What the hell is that? In my opinion, you want to see if that tea tree king is real, so you are just taking me to climb mountains and watch the sea.
Just stopping by for a convenience, right?"
"How could that be possible..." Yinzhen chuckled, stole a scent from Jinxi's face, and said happily: "Accompanying you to sightsee and enjoy the sights is the main purpose of this trip south. As for the thousand-year-old tea tree king, it is just a way to stop by.
By the way, it's not as important as your coming..."
"Slippery! I just discovered now that you are really glib! Honestly, where did you learn it from?" Hearing this, Jin Xi couldn't help but poke his chest with her index finger, while pursed her lips and smiled.
.
"Men. Once they have someone worthy of being dedicated to, they will naturally become smooth-talking. Otherwise, do you still think that your two brothers are chasing each other after doing housework for others?" Yinzhen took advantage of the situation and rubbed her forehead.
He kissed her again and asked affectionately.
When he mentioned his two half-brothers, Jin Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Then again, I don't know how my second brother is doing now... My second sister-in-law will still be in Jinling in the future. I don't think I'll be here for a while."
She won’t be able to return to the capital soon, and if the second brother really gives up on her, wouldn’t we become indirect murderers too?”
"Don't worry. He is fine. It is said that he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight against Galdan... I believe that after he returns from the battle, Luo Rong will return to the capital and settle down." Yinzhen thought of praying for three flying pigeons to pass the letter from the capital.
The latest situation here, I picked up a few items that are somewhat related to Jin Xi.
"Ah? You said that the second brother... took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Outer Mongolia to fight against Galdan? Wouldn't it be a suicide battle against the enemy? Amma also agreed?" Hearing this, Jin Xi was stunned and anxious.
asked urgently.
"Maybe. But wouldn't it be nice if the war could make him forget some of the long-lasting pain?" Yinzhen is not as eager as Jinxi. As a man, going to the battlefield when necessary is also a sign of progress. After all, Qi Chen originally
The test was for martial arts, and being a small officer in the Ministry of War was not as fast and effective as the glory he gained by joining the battlefield.
Jinxi felt relieved after hearing his explanation. However, she was still a little worried about Qi Chen. If she had known that he would go to the battlefield, she should have left him one or two life-saving and life-saving formations before leaving the capital.
That's it. It's useless to talk about it now. I can only hope that he can come back safely...
Qi Ke, on the other hand, had made a marriage contract with the woman under Fei Yanggu's initiative. After completing a series of pre-wedding rituals in the first half of the year, the wedding date was set for the ninth day of June. Not surprisingly, she and Yinzhen
Beijing, it’s time to prepare for Qi Ke’s wedding ceremony.
"That's fine... The second brother performed well on the battlefield, Luo Rong studied hard in Jiangnan, and the two of them are working hard for their own bright future..." Jinxi leaned on Yinzhen's chest, smiled, and raised his head
The black eyes with fluttering eyelashes said: "We are the same. From the capital to Jiangnan, we will go to Shuntian again if we have the opportunity in the future. We will travel throughout the Qing Dynasty. If there is a chance to return to modern times in the future, I can write about this trip.
Travel Notes, um, what’s the name? Just call it..."
"Yes..." Yinzhen glanced at her with squinted eyes and said with a hint of displeasure: "Your body is still waiting for you on the Class A hospital bed, but where should my soul go to be compatible? Huh? Let's talk about it first.
Now, don’t even think about sneaking back alone... Now that you are married to me, you should be born to me and die to me... Do you understand? Uranala Jinxi?"
"Uh... haha, of course... of course! Just say it in a lower voice. Do you have to hold my ear and yell?" Jinxi nodded like a mince, patted Yinzhen's chest, and comforted him casually a few times.
, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Sweat! I was so focused on going back to the modern age that I really forgot that his body had long been reduced to ashes to protect the flowers...
……………………
Wuyi, Fujian is the hometown of Dahongpao. It is said that there are teas in the thirty-six peaks and ninety-nine rocks of Wuyi Mountain. The most famous one is "Dahongpao", which is called the sage of Wuyi rock tea.
Although during the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, Wuyi tea in Fujian Province was already well-known throughout the country. In the Yuan Dynasty, an imperial tea garden was even built in the Jiuqu River area of Wuyi Mountain, specifically to collect tea for the royal family. However, the wars in the late Ming Dynasty caused the Wuyi area to
Tea gardens have closed their doors one after another. Many tea farmers have also been displaced and moved to other places.
As soon as the Imperial Tea Garden collapsed, other tea gardens also closed down one after another. Until Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, the Qing Dynasty's economy gradually recovered, and Fujian's rock tea began to be promoted abroad again. However, the market has not opened up. Born in Wuyi, grew up in Wuyi,
A large group of tea farmers living in Wuyi had no choice but to harvest fresh tea leaves and accidentally invented fully fermented tea - oolong tea. Dahongpao is the best variety of oolong tea.
It has only been ten years since Dahongpao has already staged an oolong tea revolution in the aristocratic circles of the Qing Dynasty.
Yinzhen had already identified the development market of Dahongpao. Therefore, as early as six years ago, he ordered Luo An to contact the tea farmers who produced Dahongpao in Wuyi. Any Dahongpao that came from Wuyi Jiulong Nest was basically sold by Yinzhen.
It's round. Although the output is not large, it is enough for him to give away and drink for himself.
No, once he made the decision to expand the tea garden, his first thought was to expand the output of Wuyi Dahongpao. As for sales, there was no need to worry about it. There were so many nobles and royal families in the capital, any one of them would be willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy one.
Two high-quality pure Dahongpao.
When he came this time, Yinzhen wanted to meet this Dahongpao tea farmer, whom he had never met but had been in contact with for many years, and discuss with him the expansion of the tea garden.
After the "Memorial" lowered its sails and docked in Ningde Port, Fujian, Yinzhen asked Qiwu to take his letter to Wuyi to find someone, while he took Jinxi and walked around Ningde City for two days.
Early the next morning, Qi Wu and his people rushed there quickly.
"Master, this is Song Xiangnan." Qi Wu led a middle-aged Confucian scholar who was nearly forty years old and walked in, introducing each other: "Mr. Song, this is my master."
When he went out, if he didn't want to reveal his true identity, Yinzhen would always use the name Yinghao. Therefore, when Qi Wu introduced Yinzhen to outsiders, he said he was Yinghao, a big tea merchant from the capital.
"I have met Young Master Ying in Xiangnan! I have heard about Young Master Ying for a long time!" Song Xiangnan quickly bowed to Yinzhen. Although the boy-like man in front of him was not very old, he had no choice but to respect him for his nobility that spread throughout his body.
When I think about the fact that the Dahongpao produced by my family in the past five years was all bought by this young master, I no longer dare to treat Yinzhen as an ordinary young master.
"Both each other! Song's rock tea is famous all over the country, and I've given you all the blessings!" Yinzhen smiled faintly, raised his hand to invite Song Xiangnan, and did not mince words, but stated his intention directly: "Ying went south this time.
First, I want to see the scenery of Fujian, and second, of course, I want to find a friend who is trustworthy enough to partner with me to do a big business."
"Young master, you are serious. Whenever you need Xiang Nan's service, please just ask." After hearing this, Song Xiangnan straightened his expression and nodded.
Yinzhen then said bluntly: "I want to contract a hilltop to build a tea garden here. Of course, if the nearby tea farmers want to transfer their newly picked tea leaves to me, I will be happy to accept it. The price is absolutely reasonable. However, the only thing
The requirement is that the quality of the tea must be good..."
Yinzhen invited Song Xiangnan to sit down and talk in detail, while Jinxi took Xizhu to visit the sea and mountains outside the tea house. By the way, he asked the old farmer selling fresh seafood and mountain products on the roadside and bought all the local specialties in the basket. They were ready to wait.
She would take them on board to cook a rich dinner later. When they were away from home, she and Yinzhen basically took care of all matters big and small that they could do by themselves. Xizhu and the other maids began to admire and respect such a master even more.
