Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

The days after apprenticeship were very busy, Lu Fangzhou went there early in the morning and in the dark, and walked fast all the way.Wan Yan went with him, and when he encountered a bumpy mountain, he just picked it up and passed it with light work.

Seeing Lu Fangzhou envious, it would be great if he would do the same.

But envy is envy, he still has self-knowledge, kung fu needs to be practiced from a young age, he is already in his 20s, no matter how much he practices, he can't get any effect, let alone he has no time to practice at all.

During the day, I learn how to grow tea and raise tea, and at night I have to read and practice calligraphy. I finally have time to spare. In the new year, the leases of Zhuangzi will start to be re-signed.Not to mention practicing martial arts, even the time spent in intimacy with Yan Yan is squeezed out, squeezed out! ! !

Lu Fangzhou Tears/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Fortunately, the old man Qiu also saw that Lu Fangzhou was divided and lacked skills, and the professors would also be scattered in various tea gardens. Those old masters who had been apprentices of the Zhou family called them one by one, and brought Lu Fangzhou to know them one by one. At the same time, he also told them the truth, saying that there are so many tea gardens, Lu Fangzhou alone can't do it alone.

The master craftsmen are all people who care about the old Zhou's family, and they all expressed that they will take care of the tea garden in the village where they live.

Lu Fangzhou also came up with some contracts at the right time. This was the result of his discussion with Yan Yan. The masters did their work based on their loyalty to the Zhou family, and they should not treat them badly. Giving some money is not sincere enough. It is better to let them After buying into the shares, one or two percent of the harvest of the tea garden will be divided.

Master Lu treated them badly in the past. These old masters had skills but failed to make a good living with them. Old man Qiu lived in such a dilapidated house. Why would the house be blown down in a dilapidated windy and rainy day? manage?It is always better to have money to build another place.

The masters never thought that Lu Fangzhou would be so generous. When their master Zhou family managed the tea garden, he just gave them more wages and never gave them too much harvest.

In addition to being happy, everyone's heart with Lu Fangzhou became more solid. Before, they only agreed to maintain the tea garden, but now they have come out with various ideas for improving the tea garden.

This is a good idea that these people have thought about day and night for so many years. Lu Fangzhou quickly wrote it down, went back to think about what he didn't understand, and made a decision immediately when he understood.

The master craftsmen nodded and praised after watching it. They have already seen that Lu Fangzhou is really learning the technology of growing tea and raising tea.

That being the case, the masters kept their secrets even more, and several masters who were good at frying tea said: "Master, our area is not only Shengxian County, but also tea is produced in the surrounding area. The sales of tea are really good, but the variety Single, the price can't be raised, and the owner can only make a small profit after a year of hard work. I don't know if the owner has thought about it?"

When Lu Fangzhou heard it, he came to the point, and hurriedly said: "I have thought about this, before I was going back to the tea garden, I have a brand new method of frying tea, but I only know one of them. I don’t know the second. Let me tell you, masters, can you help me with the details?”

"My boss, please tell me."

Lu Fangzhou then roughly explained the three-baking and four-roasting process of Majian tea, and also emphasized the benefits of adding the "baking" procedure, which has less hair, does not shave the stomach, and the tea soup is clean.

The master craftsmen did not speak immediately after hearing this. The process of "baking" is common in tea making methods other than green tea. Many teas that rely on preservation for longer and more mellow are mostly baked tea. Today's Daliang Tea is still baked. Tea is mainly produced, and green tea is mostly popular in the south. Although green tea is also drunk in the north, it is mostly for changing the taste occasionally.

Green tea has been able to occupy a place under the general trend of roasted tea because green tea is roasted, not roasted, and has a completely different taste from roasted tea.

Now Lu Fangzhou proposes to add the roasting step, and when roasting, he only takes off the fluff of the tea leaves, and roasts the stomach-scraping ingredients in the tea leaves, but the final taste is still the taste of green tea.

This idea is good, but it needs repeated practice to find the most suitable time, proportion and scheme.However, the first month is almost over now, the end of February is before dawn, and March is before the rain, which is an important time for picking new shoots.

It is impossible to develop an accurate method in such a short period of time unless this year's new tea is given up.But new tea is the most profitable part of green tea. If you don't make money from new tea, you won't be able to make much money this year, and you may even lose money.

Thinking of this, several experienced masters explained this issue to Lu Fangzhou, and handed it over to Lu Fangzhou to make a decision.

Lu Fangzhou also knows some green tea market. The most valuable green teas are Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea.After these two solar terms, the tea leaves in the back will grow as if they have been injected with chicken blood, and the green tea made will not be very tasty.Therefore, tea is earned in these two seasons. If you give up, you will lose your income for the year.

Lu Fangzhou was a bit confused, but the old man Qiu said: "Boss, I think it's not like this, this year's new tea will be roasted as usual green tea as usual, after two seasons, let's think about it slowly, and come again tomorrow? "

"You can have this idea. If you figure it out, next year's tea market will be dominated by our family, and no one else will try to block our door. We will not be the same as this year." Another master agreed.

However, Lu Fangzhou got inspiration from his words. This year he was exposed to tea for the first time, and it was the first time he sold tea, and the green tea he sold was not much different from others. Others, such as the Lu family, must try to block his sales. If it comes, instead of competing with others this year to grab the market, why not take a step back and directly plan for the market next year?

After thinking about it, Lu Fangzhou felt that this idea was feasible. There were more than 2000 taels of silver left from selling Torreya last year, so it should not be a problem to deal with this year. Lu Fangzhou also took a look at Yan Yan, and asked in a low voice about the expenditure of the tea garden in previous years.

The basic materials of the tea garden, such as expenses, were prepared by Yan Yan early in the morning. When Lu Fangzhou suddenly mentioned it, he immediately answered. At the same time, he had already figured out Lu Fangzhou's intentions, and added a sentence: "Aren't you the only one here?" For the income of 2000 taels of silver, the arable land of various villages has not been rented out, and there is still this income, so you can do it boldly."

Lu Fangzhou gained confidence as soon as he heard it, and said to the masters: "I think it's better to give up this year's new tea. One is that the sales may not be as smooth as expected, and the other is that the sales are not smooth. It's a waste of work, and it's a waste of time and energy to pay for it. body, the gain outweighs the loss."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The master craftsmen were all taken aback when they heard the words. In fact, the best solution that came to mind during the discussion just now was to give up this year’s new tea, but giving up the new tea is not just a lip service, it requires financial resources, material resources, and determination. It also requires the ability to withstand gossip.

Lu Fangzhou may not be able to do it at such a young age!

However, what surprised them was that Lu Fangzhou actually took the initiative to mention it. Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison: "My boss is so determined, we will do our best to develop a new tea."

"Okay!" Lu Fangzhou nodded with a smile. With the nods of these old masters, the new tea is not afraid of failure.

After finalizing the new tea, old man Qiu let Lu Fangzhou take a few days off. One thing is that Lu's house is almost finished. After that, how to decorate it, what flowers and plants to plant, and what scenery to make need to be reconsidered by Lu Fangzhou when he goes back to the field; The second is that the new leases of Zhuangzi in the beginning of the year should be finalized.

Lu Fangzhou didn't refuse, and went back with Yan Yan after he got the leave.

The wing rooms on both sides of the Lu family's house have been built. The most troublesome part of building the house is laying the foundation. The ground is basically there. It is very fast to lay bricks on top of it, and it only takes one day to build the beams.

The walls in the wing room are still being painted, and the paint on the window edges has not been painted yet. Waiting to ask Lu Fangzhou what color to paint.

Lu Fangzhou always likes the blue bricks and black tiles of Jiangnan gardens. The whole Lu family also has the same color tone, and the color of the window edges is also dark. Lu Yan felt that it should be more festive, so he chose a few places to let people add some touches to the paint. red.

As for what kind of flowers to grow, Lu Fangzhou only had a rough idea in his heart, so Yan Yan consulted with him in detail.

The planting of thin bamboo in the open space in front of the house was finalized early in the morning. Entering the house through the bamboo grove is the courtyard. A screen wall has been added behind the gate in front of the courtyard. Walking around the screen wall is the spacious courtyard in front of the main hall, with side rooms on both sides. , A soil trough has been dug in front of the wing room for planting.

Lu Fangzhou looked at it from top to bottom: "The windows here already open up and down. If you plant the kind of plants that cover the windows, it may not be good for lighting, but if you plant low ones, I always feel too stingy. .”

Yan Yan smiled when he heard the words, and proposed something: "Wisteria, how about it?"

"This is good!" Lu Fangzhou had seen wisterias blooming in the park, and knew that sitting under the wisterias was a beautiful thing, but it seemed that wisterias needed a shelf.

Yan Yan smiled: "It's just a small one, the rest is left on the eaves, and you can see it when you study with the study above."

"Okay! What about the West Wing?"

"Plantains." Yan Yan said, "It doesn't need to be too dense, just two or three plants will do."

Rain hitting plantains?There are often descriptions in ancient poems, very good!Lu Fangzhou nodded hurriedly.

"In addition, there is no need to specially plant in the courtyard. You can buy some bonsai, orchids, asparagus, etc. and put them in the house. You need to look around the mountain behind the house." Yan Yan said.

Lu Fangzhou nodded and asked, "Can we plant some fruit trees around the mountain?"

"You want to grow those?"

"Loquat, cherry, bayberry, sorbet, orange, grapefruit, persimmon, date, pomegranate." Lu Fangzhou counted them all in one breath, "Let me think again."

"I don't think there's any need to think about it anymore, as long as you plant something that can be eaten." Yan Yan smiled.

Lu Fangzhou scratched his head and laughed, what's the use of the plants grown at home?To be able to eat~~

"Understood." Yan Yan Chongni said, wrote down the list one by one, and went to buy things later.

The author has something to say: Lu Fangzhou: There is food all around the house, that is the beauty of life!

Yan Yan: Well, yes, feed you and then eat~~
