After the unpleasant breakfast, Wang Shufen and Liu Shuxin went into the kitchen to clean up, while Liu Jianguo poured Qin Shiming a cup of hot tea. The two men smoked and chatted in the yard.
"Xiao Qin, I made you laugh."
Liu Jianguo is a man who wants to show off his dignity.
"No, no." Qin Shiming said hurriedly: "It can be seen that uncle loves auntie very much and gives in to her in everything. In fact, it is good for the couple to quarrel. There is no overnight feud. If you have any beef, just say it."
"You scholars are still good at talking."
Liu Jianguo laughed when he heard this, took a puff of old dry cigarette, and continued: "Uncle Shuxin does have plans to ask Shuxin to be his daughter-in-law, but her mother and I disagree with this matter from beginning to end. You can
rest assured."
"Uncle, you don't need to explain to me."
Qin Shiming smiled and shook his head, "I believe in Shuxin, and I believe in the relationship between us even more."
"After all, he is a scholar. He comes from a big city. He speaks and acts in a reasonable manner."
Liu Jianguo felt at ease, but he was afraid that because of this matter, Qin Shiming would feel resentful and turn around and leave. Although he was drunk last night, when he woke up early in the morning, his wife told him that they had slept together.
If they sleep together, they are a couple; if they marry again, they are a second marriage.
"Hey, this tea is good."
Qin Shiming picked up the large blue and white porcelain bowl and took a sip. Then he noticed that the tea was green in color and had a rich and mellow taste, perhaps due to the mountain spring water. After drinking, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and a sweet taste spread among his taste buds.
Qin Shiming doesn't understand tea, but he has drunk many top-quality teas, such as Biluochun, Bamboo Leaf Green, Tieguanyin, etc., but the taste is not as strong as this, and the color of the tea is not as good-looking.
"Xiao Qin, are you too polite? If there is any good tea in our countryside, you don't mind it."
Liu Jianguo just thought Qin Shiming was trying to make him happy and deliberately praised his tea, "But let me tell you something. Although it is wild tea, our tea quenches thirst and everyone in the village drinks it."
"No, no, no, uncle, I'm really not kidding, this is indeed good tea!"
Qin Shiming said with a serious face: "Yesterday I gave you a box of tea. It is Yunwushan Biluochun that many city people like. The market price is three thousand yuan per catty. A box of tea cost me two thousand eighty yuan. You
If you don’t believe it, take apart the tea leaves, brew a new pot, and let’s compare.”
"What?"
Liu Jianguo's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the tobacco stick to the ground. His eyes widened, "Two thousand eight, a box of tea costs two thousand eight? My dear, that's the same as my annual income from three acres of land."
"Well, uncle, don't worry about it. I don't want to show off to you how expensive the gift I bought is. I just want you to compare that tea with your tea."
Qin Shiming touched his nose. He had never been a person who liked to show off. He really felt that the wild tea in Liu Jianguo's mountains tasted good, but the frying technique was a little inferior. In addition, the picking of the tea leaves was rough, and there were even some tea branches.
It's all inside.
If impurities can be removed, the quality of wild tea will definitely be better.
"Okay, just wait a moment and I'll get the tea you bought."
Seeing that Qin Shiming was not joking, Liu Jianguo turned around and went into the house. He came back soon with a box of beautifully packaged tea in his hand, and his eyes were full of pain.
It’s such a small box, it doesn’t weigh a pound, but it costs 2,800 yuan!
Why don't you go and grab it?
At the same time, Liu Jianguo brought a kettle from the house, a large porcelain bowl, and picked out a handful of tea leaves.
"Xiao Qin, why do I feel like it's like drinking blood? It hurts so much."
Liu Jianguo smiled bitterly and shook his head, but still said: "Don't buy such expensive gifts in the future. We country people don't have to be so particular about drinking tea, smoking and drinking."
"Uncle, please stop being so painful. It's me who deserves to be hurt, okay?"
Qin Shiming joked: "The tea I bought for thousands of dollars is not as good as the wild tea from your mountain. It's me who should be depressed, not you."
"Hahaha."
Liu Jianguo was also amused.
The two men made two more cups of tea, one cup of wild tea and one cup of Biluochun priced at 2,800 yuan.
Biluochun tea has a cool color, while wild tea is green and has a higher concentration. However, because the wild tea is over-fried, there is a layer of foam floating on it, which makes it unattractive.
But it tastes very good!
"Uncle, try this cup of Biluochun."
Qin Shiming handed Biluochun to Liu Jianguo.
Liu Jianguo took a sip and frowned.
"How is it? Is it not as good as wild tea?" Qin Shiming asked hurriedly.
"My flesh aches when I think of the two thousand eighty yuan, and I can't taste it anymore."
Liu Jianguo smiled bitterly.
"..."
Qin Shiming was speechless and could only pick up Biluochun and take a sip.
Biluochun's quality is good enough, but in comparison, it's really not as good as Liu Jianguo's wild tea.
"Uncle, did you grow this wild tea yourself?"
Qin Shiming was so excited that he thought of a way to make money.
Growing tea is different from growing food, it is easier and more profitable.
Considering the geographical conditions of Xiaoshitou Village, farmers can basically only grow enough for food. Some farmers sell grain just to get back the seed money.
Most of the income of farmers in Xiaoshitou Village comes from raising pigs.
This is the mantra of the country people - raising pigs does not make money, it is just a small amount of money exchanged for big money.
According to today's market price, a big fat pig weighing 300 kilograms can be sold for about 2,000 yuan, and two pigs can cost 4,000 yuan. Most people only raise two to three pigs because they can't afford feed and can only feed them grain.
As well as wild vegetables in the field, I usually feed sweet potatoes and the like in winter.
"What kind of seeds should I plant? No need to plant them."
After taking another sip of Biluochun, Liu Jianguo tasted the taste. It didn't matter whether it was good or bad, but it was definitely not as strong as his own tea. Liu Jianguo was still very confident about this.
"No need to plant?"
Qin Shiming was confused when he heard it. Could it really be wild tea from the mountains?
"right!"
Liu Jianguo then explained: "There is a barren mountain behind our village called Jiangjun Ridge. The mountains and plains are full of this kind of wild tea. When the season comes, the country people go to the mountains to pick some when they are not busy, and then they can drink it when they go home.
."
"There is this kind of tea all over the mountains and plains? How big is the area?"
Qin Shiming was even more excited when he heard this. Isn't this a ready-made tea mountain? Once contracted, he doesn't need to plan the planting, he can just prune and pick.
It is even possible to build a tea factory on the spot to solve the local problems of difficulty in finding employment and making money.
It doesn’t matter if the farmers are uneducated. It’s not that difficult to pick tea leaves.
"Area? At least hundreds of thousands of acres of land, what's wrong? Do you really think this wild tea tastes good?" Liu Jianguo didn't know Qin Shiming's plan yet, so he just thought Qin Shiming liked it, "If you really like it, I'll talk to you later.
I'll go to the mountain to pick some fresh tea leaves for you, and you can just bring them back to the city in a few days."
"Take it away? No, no need to take it away."
Qin Shiming was happy in his heart, "Uncle, are you busy today? If not, how about taking me to the mountain to have a look?"
"Okay, no problem."
Liu Jianguo agreed, what could he do?
"Let's go, let's go now."
Qin Shiming also had a resolute and resolute temper. After the negotiation, he forced Liu Jianguo to go out. Liu Jianguo was fully prepared, carrying a woodcutter and a basket on his back. He greeted Wang Shufen and Liu Shuxin and went up the mountain with Qin Shiming.
