Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 248 The news spreads

The leader of Zhongzhai trotted to Su Qingyu's house out of breath, but when he got to the courtyard, he found that he couldn't squeeze in. ReadМ

I saw the women from Baijiazhai surrounding Su Qingyu.

The leader of Zhongzhai stood on tiptoe and saw Su Qingyu talking to everyone about what buds were, what tea greens were, and how to pick them.

Zhongzhai was listening very excitedly and stretched his neck to look inside. He saw that the women in the inner circle had turned around and ran out.

The crowd almost knocked him to the ground.

He had no choice but to dodge back and forth.

Oh my God, I don't respect the elderly at all. What if it causes a stampede?

He also wanted to go back and carry the basket up the mountain. He is also very nimble with his hands and feet, no worse than the women.

However, another important question came to mind.

He squeezed to Su Qingyu's side and said, "Qingyu, if you do this, I'm afraid the people in the market town will be unstable."

Su Qingyu also thought about this problem.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Notify each village that each family must provide a laborer to work in the market town. If there are no male laborers, women will do it."

"If there is really no one to do the work, record it in the book. In the future, we will use other methods or money to pay for the work that must be done in the alliance."

"I'm afraid a group of people will have to be rotated over in the market town. In order to prevent the new workers from being unfamiliar with the job, Uncle Zhong, you and my family, Siyuan Siyuan, need to inform you there and work hard to inspect the work there.

"Okay. I understand. This is fair. No one will complain."

Zhongzhai Master and Siyuan Siyuan set off immediately and rushed to the market town and various villages to inform them.

The village owners and villagers who came to Baijiazhai to inquire about the news immediately turned around and returned to their own villages after receiving the exact information on the way.

The return trip took half as long as the trip back.

We have never felt so short of time.

300 Wen per pound!

The woman in my family is very nimble and can pick a lot in a day.

Another said, I have a large family, and I might be able to earn several taels of silver a day.

Everyone thought about the feeling of having coins thrown into their arms, their faces bloomed with joy, and the wind blew under their feet.

As soon as they got back to the village, everyone ran to the mountains.

Carrying baskets, sacks, baskets, dry food and water, and families, they ran up the mountain for fear of being late than others.

The villagers of Baijiazhai had already rushed to the top of the mountain early.

The village became quiet again, not even the dogs barked.

Su Qingliu is also eager to try, she is very diligent.

I also want to do my part.

But Su Qingnao asked her and Lu's mother and daughter to check the quality of the tea sent by the mountain people at home.

When there was only the last trace of ashes left in the mountains, people from Baijiazhai came to the Su family one after another carrying their burdens.

Most of the tea buds were delivered.

After all, as soon as everyone heard that young sprouts cost 300 cents per catty, they no longer paid attention to tea leaves costing 300 cents per catty.

It was only when I went up the mountain that I realized how easy it was to pick these young buds.

There is only one bud per branch. Some people harvest only a few taels and a half catty in a day, and the largest one weighs just over a catty.

Su Qingyu had expected this.

If the sprouts are so good, can they cost 300 yuan a pound?

If you can pick twenty or thirty kilograms a day, I'm afraid the whole family can eat it at home in the next year.

Su Qingyu took Lu's mother and daughter, and Su Qingliu carefully inspected the buds sent by everyone in Baijiazhai.

After Su Qingyu collected mountain products and tea seeds last year, everyone knows Su Qingyu's style. If it is not up to standard, it will really be rejected, but there is no mercy.

Therefore, there are less adulterations in it that do not meet the requirements.

Su Qingyu poured the buds sent by everyone into a large bamboo dustpan, spread them out, inspected them, picked out the unqualified ones and impurities, and then weighed and settled the rest.

No ambiguity at all.

Although everyone was inexperienced on the first day and didn't pick much, everyone was overjoyed when they got their hands on copper coins, ranging from dozens of copper coins to more than two to three hundred copper coins.

I took the money and thanked him again and again before leaving.

Su Qingyu was still picking up the sprouts sent from Baijiazhai, and the two tea frying masters sent by Manager Li over there had already set up the pot and started to work.

Su Qingyu discussed with them for a day and found out that both of them were experienced tea frying masters, so she didn't worry anymore.

The whole family gathered around to watch.

Before the tea was ready, another group of older men and women arrived.

Seeing that everyone in the family has made money, they can't climb the mountain and can only worry about it at home. Then they agreed to go to Su Qingyu to ask for some work.

When they were picking tea fruits, they could help peel and dry the tea seeds at home, but now they don't even bring the tea home with them, so it's none of their business.

This won't work.

They also have to contribute.

"I really have something to do with you. I need a lot of bamboo dustpans, drying mats, and drying racks. If you can do it, help me make some. I want them all."

The old man and the old lady nodded happily: "Okay, we can do that. We can make several at home in a day. Don't worry, we will chop bamboo when we get back."

"It's too late..." Su Qingyu looked at the sky.

"It's not too late, there are bamboos in front of the house and behind the house, and you can still see them."

All right.

You can't stop others from making money, right?

The two tea frying masters fried all the dozens of kilograms of sprouts sent by the villagers overnight before falling asleep. The whole family fell into a good sleep smelling the fragrance of tea that filled the courtyard.

In the evening of the next day, the tea sent by Baijiazhai contained not only buds, but also tea greens.

Girls and women like buds the most, so almost all the gifts are buds.

Men and older women bring tea.

Picking buds requires so much patience, it is a delicate job. If you don't pay attention, it will be cut off and crushed.

However, although the price of tea green is low, the quantity is large and the money earned is quite high.

An aunt with quick hands collected more than twenty kilograms. I got more than 600 coins and jumped for joy.

But there are more unqualified tea greens than young shoots.

There were a lot of tea stems and old leaves mixed in, which made Su Qingyu and others' eyes dazzled.

In the end, I really couldn't choose, so I left the person who delivered the tea on site. You pick mine and I pick yours. Only when the tea leaves are qualified will they be weighed and the money calculated.

No one has any opinions. The copper plates were hanging in front of my eyes, and I didn't feel tired at all. In the Su family, I just picked them all.

The two chefs worked until dawn that day and couldn't finish cooking.

I feel like I can't bear it anymore.

The people in Baijiazhai will pick more for two more days, and their hand speed will increase. As novices become more experienced, the amount will only increase.

And I'm afraid that other villages will also send tea.

Even if the two of them speculated non-stop for twelve hours, they might not be able to make it. One person can fry thirty or forty kilograms of dry tea a day, which is incredible.

Fortunately, at noon on the third day, Manager Li sent six more tea frying masters.

The backyard of Su Qingnao's house was occupied, and all the vegetables grown by the Lu family were pulled out, a bamboo shed was set up, and eight large pots were set up in one row.

Su Qingnao invited eight women from Xinzhai to come back to make fires. This solved the frying problem.

From the third day onwards, Su Qingyu was not idle for a moment.
