Chapter 363 Official Road
"I moved to a village outside the city, so it will be much easier to see you." Zhong Yuxiu stepped forward and reached out to pull Tao Qini's hand.
"No, no, my hands are not clean." Tao Qini spread out her gray hands and said.
"Why are you fiddling with these grass?" Zhong Yuxiu walked over and looked at the grass on the baskets filled with yards and asked curiously.
"These are medicinal herbs, but for treating cattle and horses." Tao Qini looked at her with bright eyes and smiled, "Let's sit down and talk?"
The two sat on the stone bench, and Tao Qini handed her the colorful feather fan and said, "Fan!" she got up and went out to the house with a teapot and teacup, poured a glass of water, "drink water." Then she picked up the fan and shook it gently.
"My family Ajiu told me about you, but I didn't expect you to have this skill." Zhong Yuxiu said, shaking the feather fan all the time.
"I also learned from calligraphy, and it was General Chu who promoted it." Tao Qini said modestly.
"That's also very amazing." Zhong Yuxiu said with a sincere look at her.
"Miss, Miss Tao, where are these things put?" Chuntao led his hand to hold the big bag, and the servant of the small bag came in and said.
"Sister Zhong, why are you?" Tao Qini looked at her embarrassedly and said.
"It's all clothes, shoes and supplies. Don't look at it's hot now, it's cold in the blink of an eye. I led the girls to make winter clothes, everyone has a share." Zhong Yuxiu looked at her with a stern face and said, "Don't refuse! They are all made according to your size."
Tailored, Tao Qini knew that this was Zhong Yuxiu's excuse. It would be nice to have clothes to wear in this chaotic era, so there are so many things to pay attention to.
Tao Qini pursed her lips and looked at her for a while, "Sister Zhong, please take your leave first."
"Ah!" Zhong Yuxiu looked at her in confusion, then nodded, "Okay." He ordered Chuntao to take his servants out of the yard.
"Sister Tao, please tell me!" Zhong Yuxiu said to her with a serious face.
"Sister Zhong, please come in with me." Tao Qini stood up and looked at her and said.
Tao Qini led her into her carpentry room.
Although it is not the first time Zhong Yuxiu has come in, she will find something new every time she comes in.
How did Sister Tao have such a brain? How could she have so many wonderful ideas? The most gratifying thing is that they are all very practical.
Zhong Yuxiu was attracted by the exquisite jars and jars on the square table, and curiously approached, full of doubts. What is this? Why is there a small red mud furnace?
When cooking tea, Sister Tao doesn’t drink tea, her eyes are full of questions.
Tao Qini took a small stone pottery bowl and walked over and handed it to her, "Sister Zhong."
Zhong Yuxiu took the coarse pottery bowl and looked at the white particles in the bowl, "What is this?"
"Pinch a little with your fingers and put it in your mouth and try it." Tao Qini looked at her with a smile and said.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at her with confusion, reached out and pinched some and put it in her mouth, "Salty." He asked again, "What is this?"
"Guess!" Tao Qini looked at her and smiled.
"Salty?" Zhong Yuxiu's eyes turned on her, "Eat all your actions!" His eyes suddenly looked at her with bright light and said, "Don't tell it's salt."
"So I am just a foodie in Sister Zhong's eyes!" Tao Qini looked at her in surprise and thought about it and said, "But Sister Zhong said it well. This may be the obsession left by hunger!"
"I'm right, it's really salt." Zhong Yuxiu said in surprise, staring at Tao Wan in a daze, and said in disbelief, "But, why did it become so white and the particles are much smaller."
"Don't be up to them." Tao Qini pointed to the jars and jars on the square table and said, "Wait a minute, I'll demonstrate it to you."
As he said that, he put the coarse salt lumps into the water and stirred the chopsticks to dissolve them thoroughly.
"Tsk tsk... this water is enough." Zhong Yuxiu looked at the dirty water in the white porcelain teapot. When she thought of the salt she usually eats, she felt that she could no longer eat the food.
Tao Qini used gauze as filter paper and filtered the salt water.
Put the filtered brine in a stone pottery bowl on a small red mud furnace, and the water evaporates.
"This...this..." Zhong Yuxiu looked at the condensed white particles and stammered, "This is done, that's so simple?"
"Hmm!" Tao Qini took off the stone pottery bowl and waited for it to cool down.
Tao Qini looked up at her and asked with a smile, "Do you have any thoughts after seeing it?"
"Thoughts?" Zhong Yuxiu's eyes as bright as autumn water gradually became deeper, and her eyes looked at her quietly and said, "Sister Tao, do you know how valuable this is if it is given to the salt merchant?"
"I know!" Tao Qini said lightly, "But this business path is not as good as..." He said with a gentle word, "Official path!"
Zhong Yuxiu watched her pupils shrink slightly and asked casually, "This city is not our leader."
The implication is that Marshal Gu should be his first choice.
"There is a saying that wealth is not only three generations. This sentence applies to any family." Tao Qini shook her black eyes and said meaningfully when she heard this.
Zhong Yuxiu understood that although she was optimistic about Gu Ziyi, she was not optimistic about Gu Congshan!
"This heir can teach you." Zhong Yuxiu's dark eyes flashed.
"There is an old saying: The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." Tao Qini said very simply, "A petty person cannot become a great person."
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes were clear and she looked at her softly and said, "I can't ask for this gift for you in vain, I'll give it to you..."
"It's enough to have 10% of the profit." Tao Qini raised her index finger and looked at her and said.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at her in shock and said, "Sister Tao, are you sure?"
"Very sure." Tao Qini looked at her and said with a heavy focus, scratching her head, "If the business is effective, I want some seeds."
"Seed?" Zhong Yuxiu swallowed the water, "Is it the seeds for farming?"
"Yes! No seeds, no seeds, but also seedlings." Tao Qini looked at her excitedly and said, "Sister Zhong, wait." As she said that, she took out a few pieces of paper from the bookshelf behind her, "It's this, please help me find it."
"What is this?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at the watercolor brushwork in her hand and said, "What are the white and red ones?"
"These are all crops from Fanbians." Tao Qini looked at her and said in detail. "Mr. Yao is well-informed. These are in the southeast coast, especially the ports with developed maritime trade. Quanzhou merchants' homes look for them as bonsai." Then they said embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to go through the teeth, but they were too slow and didn't take them to heart."
