She had been thinking about doing some business to fill the gap since summer was the off-season for spiced sausages and bowls. This way she had a clear goal.
She first found Hualang and asked about the Feng family's business in detail.
The Feng family not only makes chrysanthemum tea, but also makes other teas, but chrysanthemum tea is definitely the most famous of the Feng family and is also the largest part of their business.
Chrysanthemum tea is originally a tea suitable for drinking in summer, but the tea that is more suitable for drinking in summer is bamboo leaf tea.
Besides, who are the people drinking tea? Literati!
Mr. Takeno, isn’t drinking bamboo leaf tea more elegant than drinking chrysanthemum tea?
She originally just wanted fair competition, but after asking about it, she found out that the Feng family is simply a tea tyrant. They half-robbed and half-purchased the tea garden, and half-robbed and half-purchased the tea shop. They bullied the market and were unscrupulous. There was no other tea in the entire Wutong County.
Shop, no wonder it’s so rich! It’s a monopoly!
This family took advantage of their bandit style and status as county magistrate to the extreme.
Tang Shijin knew it in his heart.
She first ordered two large tea-frying stoves that could be turned around.
When you usually drink bamboo leaf tea, you don’t need to fry it. You can just pick it off, wash it and dry it before drinking it. However, if you want the bamboo leaf tea to be preserved for a longer time, you have to wait for it to dry and then stir-fry it over a slow fire, so that it can be preserved.
It will take a long time, at least two years without any problem.
Bamboo is growing fast, and there are plenty of bamboos in her space. When the time comes, a handful of bamboo from her space will be fried in a pot, and it will definitely be fragrant and flavorful enough to take away the Feng family's business.
She asked Hualang to help find out if there was a good place where someone could open a tea shop, and then went back first.
Then she went to find He Lizheng, and together they went to find the clan leader.
I asked the patriarch's daughter-in-law to help me, and summoned the women in the village to collect bamboo cores, which are the young leaves inside the bamboo leaves. They are better than bamboo leaf tea. They charge ten cents per catty.
In addition, Mrs. Zhou was asked to select a few women to help with washing and drying. The wages were thirty cents a day.
At the same time, let the bamboo farm make another bamboo tube of another specification so that the bamboo core tea can be filled.
He also asked Tao Chengqi to write "Bamboo Core Tea".
But Mr. Peach Blossom felt that this name was too straightforward, so he wrote "Embrace the King's Heart" with a stroke of his pen.
Tang Shijin always felt a little confused.
But what Tao Chengqi told her was that bamboo is a gentleman, bamboo is unintentional, and bamboo core is the embrace of branches and leaves, so these three words perfectly express the meaning of bamboo core tea, and they also expressed it with integrity.
The word "hug" is a touch of light.
Okay, since she hasn't figured out the scholar's affairs anyway, she doesn't think he will trick her, so let's leave it at that.
Then she asked for another word "jin". The word "jin" was embedded in the middle of the Baoxiang flower. The Baoxiang flower was magnificent and auspicious. This was considered a brand logo and would be used frequently in the future.
When the time comes, let the blacksmith make a curved "big seal", burn it red and burn it on the bamboo tube, leaving a light yellow mark, which is the "trademark".
It was very busy for a while.
Over there, Shen Zhi was sent to a neighboring county to run an errand. He was busy for three days. On his way back, he went to a jewelry shop and picked out a hairpin for Mrs. Luo. He was admiring the beauty but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Son.
Little beggars everywhere are singing the song Lotus Falls:
"There is Guo Tong in Wutong County, and the prime minister of Guo Da County is really majestic.
I force the arrester to marry his wife and sister. If you dare to engage in an engagement, I will cancel it!
Besides, this good wife and sister are as arrogant as a living bandit.
At the first glance of the fifteen-year-old face, spittle flew three feet away,
It’s not just beating someone’s wife, women all over the county cursed her,
He opened his mouth and called someone a prostitute, told her to swear and she panicked.
What you said about midnight activities is true, the yellow flower girl is so naive,
When the righteous daughter who removes the gangster sees injustice, she speaks out and brings trouble to her body.
The tiger and wolf government officials come to arrest people. If the county magistrate wants to kill, he will kill them.
The laws of heaven and the country are nothing, Guo Tong is the one in charge..."
The more Shen Zhi listened, the more panicked he became. He grabbed a little beggar and said, "What's going on? What happened in Wutong County?"
The little beggar knew this, so he said, "I heard that the wife and sister of the Prime Minister of Guo County in that county fell in love with the head catcher there. As soon as he heard that the head catcher was engaged to a lady, the sister-in-law went to find her. Trouble, he was violent and beating people, and then Miss Tang, who trapped and killed Xiong Zhi, passed by, saw injustice on the road, and persuaded the woman to retreat, but was retaliated by Guo Xian Cheng, and was thrown into prison and beheaded..."
Shen Zhi asked in shock: "How is the lady doing? Is Tang Xiaoniang okay?"
"I heard that the lady was seriously injured, and Xiaoniang Tang has been assassinated by them!"
Rumors like this always get more and more outrageous.
Shen Zhi's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He hurried back to Wutong County. When he entered Luo's house, he jumped off the horse and his voice trembled: "Yu Niang! Yu Niang!"
Madam Luo came out in a hurry, her eyes red: "You still know how to come back!"
She sobbed and ran over to beat him: "You still know how to come back! If it weren't for Jin'er, you wouldn't be able to see me!"
When Shen Zhi saw how nice she was, he took a deep breath. Then he came in, and Mrs. Luo and several women learned everything over.
After Shen Zhi listened, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He hugged Madam Luo. Madam Luo exclaimed and hurriedly tried to push him. Shen Zhi said, "Tell me to slow down. I, I'm scared to death."
The others smiled and avoided it. Madam Luo raised her hand and patted her arm gently.
Shen Zhi calmed down for a while, then pestered her to look at the injury on her head, while telling her what happened in the neighboring county.
Madam Luo said: "That Hua Lang has been waiting for Jin'er outside with us. This kid is loyal and capable, but he is dedicated to Jin'er."
Shen Zhi nodded.
After his fear passed, he was full of anger: "Guo Tong is really deceiving others! I will go find him!"
Madam Luo grabbed him hurriedly: "Jin'er told you not to be impulsive. He said that when you come back, you should go find her first."
Shen Zhi thought for a while, nodded, then mounted his horse and went to Zhulin Village first.
Finally, after leaving the city and walking quickly for a while, they saw Hualang walking quickly on the road carrying a bamboo pole.
Shen Zhi stepped back and said, "Are you going to find Jin'er? Shall I give you a ride?"
Hua Lang said: "No need."
"Why are you so polite?" Shen Zhi said, "Hurry up!"
Hua Lang said: "No need, I'm dirty."
Shen Zhi was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much and directly reached out from the horse to lift him. Hua Lang looked stern and moved his fingertips, but he still endured it and let him lift him in front of the horse.
As Shen Zhi let his horse gallop, he asked again: "The little beggar from the neighboring county, did you teach him?"
Hualang did not answer, but Shen Zhi said: "Guo Tong is a smiling tiger. He is very vicious and lawless. You tell them to be careful."
After a long time, Hualang finally let out a faint hum.
Shen Zhi didn't say anything more, and the two of them rushed all the way to Zhulin Village. Tang Shijin and Yan Baiwei were so busy that they disappeared. After asking around in several places, they found Tang Shijin in the small wine shop.
When Tang Shijin saw him, he came out and asked, nodded, and told him what he had done that day.
In general, when she and Tao Chengqi mentioned Shen Zhi, the three of them were connected together. They might be more taboo, but they might also try to control him and influence them.
So Shen Zhi can be tougher at this time, which is good for everyone.
