Chapter 469: Tea Workshop Matters
"Young Master!" With a light snort, Liu Wuchen got up from his seat in the carriage, saluted Liu Yiyi, and invited Liu Yiyi to sit down, his expression was flat, as in the past, he did not feel surprised or surprised at all about Liu Yiyi's change of appearance.
"Well, Brother Wuchen, sit down too!" Liu Yiyi got into the carriage, lowered the door curtain, looked up at Liu Wuchen, and showed a smile on his face, Liu Wuchen is still the same Liu Wuchen as before, steady, indifferent, with a posture that knows everything well, with him, the people next to him will feel at ease. When he was able to choose him to come to Liufu as a housekeeper, Liu Yiyi felt that he had picked up the treasure himself.
"Young Master Xie!" He arched his hand towards Liu Yiyi again, and Liu Wuchen sat down opposite Liu Yiyi unceremoniously.
"In the past six months, how is the situation at home?" Taking the tea handed over by Liu Wuchen, Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and asked softly: "Those tenant farmers, as well as the charcoal mine, there is no mess, right?" ”
"Young Master Hui, whether it is those tenants in the house or the miners in the coal mill, they are very responsible, and there has been no incident, after all, the amount of money given in our house is almost twice that of the next family, and those tenants and miners are not happy, where will they be dissatisfied and make trouble?" Liu Wuchen took out a thick account book from the side of the carriage, handed it to Liu Yiyi with both hands, and said: "This is the income and expenditure accounts of the mansion in the past six months, and it is just counted by Mr. Accounts in the mansion yesterday, please take a look at it, young master!" ”
"No need, there are dustless brothers in the house taking care of it, I can trust it!" Liu Yiyi took the account book casually, put it aside again, didn't even look at it, and said to Liu Wuchen with a smile: "But it seems that the old lady, and me and the young lady are not in the house, and the kid of Erjo is not sensible, and everything is hard Brother Wuchen!" ”
The account book can be faked, it is true at the beginning, and it is useless to read it now, and if you have that time, it is better to gather people's hearts and appease your housekeeper first. And Liu Yiyi has always trusted Liu Wuchen's character and temperament, and he doesn't have too many suspicions in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been so relieved to hand over most of the affairs in the house to Liu Wuchen to take care of.
"The young master is serious, as the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, it is the duty of the dustless to deal with some affairs in the mansion!" Liu Wuchen glanced up at their young master, and Liu Wuchen had always been grateful in his heart for Liu Yiyi's unreserved trust in him. After all, he had violated the royal law before, and he had been in prison, whether it was his background or his actions, he was somewhat stained, and when no one dared to use it, Liu Yiyi happily accepted him, gave him a place to live, food and clothing, and countless money, which was also a grace to him.
The scholar dies for his confidant, although Liu Wuchen is far from the level where he can sacrifice himself for Liu Yiyi to die for Liu Fu, but he will never do anything to turn his back on Liu Yiyi and abandon Liu Fu, this is a matter of principle, a principle of Liu Wuchen's own. Therefore, to a certain extent, Liu Wuchen is very loyal to the Liu family, and he is also trying his best to do his duty as a housekeeper and take care of the Liu Mansion more organized.
Liu Yiyi is also very clear about this, this is also what he values most about Liu Wuchen, the housekeeper, Liu Yiyi likes principled people, and Liu Yiyi is not narcissistic enough to think that he has unlimited courage, and with a shock to his thin body, he can make countless subordinates willing to die for himself, that, unrealistic. It is not bad to be able to gather a person's loyalty and make him do his best for himself.
Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, looked up at Liu Wuchen, and said, "I don't know what happened when Brother Wuchen found Chang'an today?" ”
knew that Liu Wuchen was not the kind of person who didn't know the importance and didn't know the reason, he came to look for himself at such a time, and he must have something important to report to him, so Liu Yiyi didn't make more polite things to him, and asked directly.
"First, I haven't seen the young master in person for a long time, Wuchen has a memory in his heart, and when he heard the news of the young master, he wanted to come and see the young master in person," he glanced up at Liu Yiyi, and bowed to their young master, Liu Wuchen continued: "Another one is that the recipe that the young master entrusted the second young master brought back last time, Wuchen has many unknowns, and if he follows the young master's orders, all the tea leaves near and far will be taken back to the house, even if the price of tea is low, but it also requires a considerable amount of money, Wuchen does not dare to make a decision lightly, It's inconvenient to discuss with outsiders, so I have to come and ask the young master for advice in person! ”
"Oh, this matter," it is not bad with what Liu Yiyi thought in his heart, Liu Yiyi put the tea bowl on the side, looked at Liu Wuchen and said: "I have written a clear understanding of the steps of making tea, it is nothing more than drying, drying, frying, twisting, roasting, according to the prescription written, step by step, after a period of trial, you can be proficient, what you are responsible for is to control the key steps of making tea and frying green, don't leak the recipe, and how to promote and sell afterwards." ”
"As for the money needed to collect the tea, how much is there in the account office of the house, just take it away, don't worry!" In terms of using money, Liu Yiyi has always been not stingy, and he will not be stingy with the money that should be spent.
"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen bowed his head and responded softly, in fact, he specially came to Chang'an today to look for Liu Yiyi, and what he did was such a guarantee that Liu Yiyi would kiss in person. Otherwise, with an endorsement, he will rashly use nearly ninety percent of his family's money to do something unprecedented, and he doesn't know what the result will be, if he fails in the future, even if Liu Yiyi doesn't blame him, he can't say anything to others.
"You have helped the house take care of the 'Liu's Fat Mill' before, and Brother Wuchen also knows a lot about some business strategies, so I don't need to say anything more," Knowing the concerns in Liu Wuchen's heart, Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and encouraged: "This time, Brother Wuchen has let go of his hands and feet, and the money in the house is at your disposal, so you must do this thing!" ”
"Tea, no more than the previous 'fat mill' and 'plough mill', it is completely an independent industry that belongs to our Liufu, and the country has no worries, and the court has no reason to take care of it." Liu Yiyi continued: "Brother Wuchen doesn't know enough about new tea, and he may not have much confidence in his heart, but when you can drink the first batch of new tea made in the mansion, you will know what kind of existence our 'tea workshop' in Liufu will be!" And these upfront investments, is it worth it! ”
For roasted green tea, Liu Yiyi is full of confidence, he doesn't believe that these Tang people, who are used to drinking cake tea and boiling tea, can withstand the temptation of this new roasted tea to make tea.
"Wuchen understands, thank you young master for your trust in Wuchen!" Liu Wuchen has always admired the vision and strategy of their young master, and seeing that Liu Yiyi attaches so much importance to this matter, Liu Wuchen's heart is also a little more confident.
"Now there are more than a month before the time to pick tea, and there is enough time in the house to prepare and take care of it," Liu Yiyi thought for a while, and said: "Well, the five hundred hectares of tea gardens in the house have not yet taken shape, so you can't pick them wantonly, and you can tell Weng Yu and Li Dechen when you go back, don't hurt the root of the tea tree." Also, Shannan Road, the tea area around Bashan is where the tribute tea in the palace is located, and before the tea in the house is famous, don't go there to seek work, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble. ”
Liu Wuchen had no experience in picking tea and making tea, so taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yiyi made some explanations to him at length. If you don't understand something, you must know how to give it to someone who knows how to do it, which is a necessary quality for any good manager.
Therefore, what Liu Yiyi wants Liu Wuchen to do is to take care of the overall situation, let the person who can do it, do what he should do, and don't let the overall trend of the situation deviate from the direction.
"The second young master's marriage has been decided," after the tea shop was discussed, Liu Wuchen threw such a good news to Liu Yiyi: "The wedding date is scheduled for March 18, a month ago, when Wuchen just came, the second young master asked Wuchen to ask the eldest young master to see if the eldest young master was on the day of the second young master's marriage, if it is convenient, can you go over and take a look?" ”
"March 18? So fast? Liu Yiyi's face was overjoyed, and he opened his voice and asked Liu Wuchen: "But Uncle Yang came to mention the family matter?" ”
"Well, it's the happy matchmaker made by Master Yang, and the wedding news was just set the night before yesterday," Liu Wuchen also said with a smile on his face: "The second young lady is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and Wuchen has seen it before, whether it is appearance, character, or family background, family situation, it is all good, worthy of Young Master Erjo." ”
"Well, the marriage of this kid is decided, and it can be regarded as a wish of his father," Liu Yichi nodded with a smile and said, "You will go back and tell Nijo that on the day he gets married, the eldest brother will definitely go to celebrate!" I'd also like to see what my brother-in-law is like, hehe..."
Although it must be a great risk to go to the wedding of their second brother, but on the good days of their own brothers, Lao Liu and Liu He are not on their side, and Liu Yiyi, who is the eldest brother, has no reason not to go.
