Mingcha House is an extremely simple shop name, but inside it is anything but simple. Compared to Wenxiangju, it is more than one level higher.
When Tian Minyan went in, she happened to hear someone talking about national affairs and people's livelihood. Others said that this was a very rebellious celebrity. He was knowledgeable but did not like to be bound by the officialdom. That's why he resigned from the official position.
Those gathered around him were all students.
After stopping and listening for a while, Tian Minyan was a little disappointed and followed the waiter.
The waiter led her to a private room, which was very quiet and elegant. There was a desk facing the door, with some books and the Four Treasures of the Study on it. There were paintings of the Four Gentlemen hanging on the wall. Tian Minyan didn't know anything about famous paintings.
But looking at those four paintings, I also feel that they are very artistic.
"coming."
While Tian Minyan was looking around, a person walked out of a small door next to the private room. It was Qi Shiqi. He walked straight to the couch in front of the teahouse and sat down. He looked at Tian Minyan and said, "Come here."
His tone was like an order, but it was irresistible. Tian Minyan walked over and said, "Didn't Master Seventeen return to Kyoto? Why are you here again?"
"Girl is very concerned about my whereabouts." Qi Shiqi sat lazily on the couch, looking sideways at Tian Minyan and chuckled.
evildoer!
Seeing his appearance, Tian Minyan suddenly thought of such a word in her heart and murmured: "What a monster."
"Huh? What did you say?" Qi Shiqi's peach blossom eyes narrowed.
"Nothing." Tian Minyan chuckled.
"It's really ugly." Qi Shiqi looked at her smile, tutted, and nuzzled his lips towards the tea seat: "Give me a cup of tea, let's see how much skill you have learned?"
Tian Minyan looked at the complete and exquisite set of tea sets and exclaimed that they were not comparable to the inferior ones in the set at home. Then she remembered that when she was learning tea before, she forced Xiaoxing Luo Shi and the others to drink it.
They were frightened when they saw her taking out the tea-sharing tools.
Now that Qi Shiqi wanted to see her skills, she was not shy. She burned incense, purified her hands in the crystal basin, called Bai Mei for help, and spread out a tea set.
Zhicha, Tencha, Luocha, Houtang, Jicha... Qi Shiqi looked at her calm face, the corners of her lips slightly curled up, as if she was the only one in the world, holding a chopstick in one hand and pouring soup in the other.
Very focused.
She already had some basic skills in preparation, but it was a pity that the learning time was still short. When it came to the last step, she only pointed out a small leaf. Before she handed it to Qi Shiqi, the soup flower leaf was almost dissipated.
The first thing about Fencha is that it can make soup flowers, and the longer the soup flower lasts, the deeper the skill of Fencha is. However, Tian Minyan is obviously a rookie who can't get on the stage, and he has nothing but appearances.
Tian Minyan was very annoyed, pouted, looked at Qi Shiqi and said frustratedly: "That's it."
Qi Shiqi laughed out loud and said: "Although I didn't pick out any good flowers, it can be seen that I have worked hard, but it's not enough, and my heart is not calm enough."
Tian Minyan sat slumped on the teapot, resting her chin on her hands, pursed her lips, and said, "How can I find so much free time to learn this tea art every day?"
Qi Shiqi saw a circle of black and blue under her eyes, sat up, stretched out a finger to flick her forehead, and said: "In this business, if you have to do everything yourself, how can you not be exhausted? Superior position
Only when you know how to control people and leave it to the people below can you feel comfortable, do you understand?"
Are you teaching her how to be a leader? Tian Min raised her eyebrows and looked straight at him.
Why doesn't she want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and why doesn't she want to be a leader who only points the country with her fingers? It's just that she hasn't trained her staff yet. Even if she wants to hide behind and only make plans to control the situation, she still needs someone to do it.
ah.
She said with a wry smile. Qi Shiqi was thoughtful, but did not continue the topic, remembering the serious matter this time.
"How are the potatoes growing in your wasteland? When will they be harvested?"
Tian Minyan didn't expect that his sudden topic span would be so wide, but she answered honestly. Potatoes usually take three to four months to be planted, and in places with hot southern climates, they can be planted three times a year.
In September, Tian Minyan first planted three acres of potatoes. It has been almost three months since they were harvested. However, the remaining ninety-seven acres were planted in mid-October. This will be harvested soon.
It won't be harvested until next spring.
She thought about harvesting the three acres of potatoes before the year, and then setting aside seed potatoes to plant another crop next spring.
Thinking that the hundred acres of wasteland was originally bought for cotton, Tian Minyan asked: "Seventeenth Master, haven't you found cotton seeds yet?"
Qi Shiqi raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, and said, "That's why I'm here."
Tian Minyan was startled, then saw him shouting, and a man dressed as a servant came out of the small room next door, "Bring the things up."
"Yes, Master."
After hearing this, the boy left quickly, then came back quickly and handed a small gray cloth bag to Qi Shiqi respectfully with both hands.
Qi Shiqi took the small cloth bag, threw it to Tian Minyan, and motioned for her to open it.
Tian Minyan was very puzzled. She opened the rope of the bag, stretched her neck and took a look. She was stunned, blinked her eyes, and looked a little in disbelief. She hurriedly reached out to take it out.
The brown seed shells ranged in size from large to small. She hurriedly peeled one open and found that the seed kernel inside was milky white and almost light gray. She couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
"this..."
"But that kind of cottonseed you're talking about?" Qi Shiqi knew from the look on her face that the cottonseed the ghost was talking about was what she was talking about.
"Exactly, Lord Seventeen, is the imperial court going to issue cotton seeds for trial planting? How many cotton seeds can Qingzhou get? No, how many can we get from Qingping County? Can you give them all to me?" Tian Minyan asked several questions excitedly.
.
Qi Shiqi frowned, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Is the imperial court issuing cotton seeds?"
"Yes, aren't these cotton seeds issued by the imperial court?" Tian Minyan said happily, touching these brown cotton seeds like a beloved treasure.
"When did I say that this was issued by the imperial court? I remember you said that you asked me to find cotton seeds in the Western Regions, right?" Qi Shiqi was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
Narrowing her peach blossom eyes at Qi Shiqi, Tian Minyan suddenly thought that the time when those cotton seeds appeared when she was reading in her previous life, but next year, it is now half a year earlier. Moreover, she also revealed that it was issued by the imperial court. God, the devil knows
Was this issued by the imperial court?
Thinking of this, the corners of Tian Minyan's mouth, which was grinning almost to her ears, stiffened. She was so stupid that she spilled the beans!
Yan said: Well, in order to save the manuscript, I have been keeping a minimum of 6,000 yuan recently, and I am also very busy at work~ In addition, there are two chapters 21, and I made a mistake in the chapter name, and the content is not repeated, so I will not change it back, because it will be necessary.
I changed too many chapter names, so everyone can understand the plot and it will be fine
