Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

After sending away the heads of the other three families in Mengshan, Jiang Yin went to the study and began to plan the detoxification.

Since she wanted to hide it, she couldn't do a high-profile job of detoxifying and could only cover it up.

After careful consideration, she decided to mix the powder into the manure, apply it to the damaged soil, and then water it thoroughly.

Except for mixing the medicine powder into the manure, which required her own people to do it, everything else could be done by other people in the tribe.

When Er Niang and the others came back, Jiang Yin announced that he would start a plan to save the tea trees.

"A plan to save the tea trees?" Jiang Erniang asked doubtfully, "How to save them? Does A Yin have a plan to succeed?"

Jiang Xiaoya raised her hand and said excitedly: "I know, I know, Sister Yin must have known how to save those tea trees a long time ago."

Jiang Erniang casually slapped Jiang Xiaoya and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense here. Your sister A Yin is not a god who knows everything."

Her daughter, Yin, has just reached the age of 15.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "We won't know whether this method works until we try it. No matter what, we have to solve the problem. We can't just sit there and wait for it to get worse."

The tea trees on the hillside between the two peaks were like a taboo, and no one dared to move them.

Er Niang and her friends had actually thought of a solution before, but after implementing it, the problem with the tea trees became even more serious.

So, they won't touch those tea trees easily now.

Jiang Yin knew very well about the more serious problem with the tea trees. This was not the fault of Er Niang and the others, but someone had poisoned them again.

Jiang Erniang nodded and said, "Ayin, we will do whatever you say. Don't worry, we will never hold you back."

"Yes, tell me how to do it." Third uncle Wan Sheng said sarcastically, "If your method works, we can save the tea trees as soon as possible."

Jiang Sanniang pinched Wan Sheng and said angrily, "Say less."

Jiang Yin glanced at the two of them and said, "I don't know if this method will work, but we have to try it. Please ask Auntie and Auntie to arrange people to water the tea trees halfway up the mountain.

Water more and let's clean the soil underneath. If there is anything poisonous, cleaning it once can also reduce the toxins. The eldest lady is responsible for Shangqing Peak, and the third lady is responsible for Lingjiao Peak.

After watering, Er Niang and Siniang arranged for people to bury our manure into the soil side by side. Er Niang was responsible for Shangqing Peak, and San Niang was responsible for Lingjiao Peak.

The soil and tea trees are both damaged, and the nutrients in the soil need to be replenished. But now the soil is very fragile, and the choice of manure needs to be careful. As for how to choose, I will show you later.

After burying the manure, Auntie and Auntie continued to water the soil to allow the soil to fully absorb the nutrients in the manure.

She paused and continued, "By the time we finish all this, it will be almost time for tea picking. Whether the soil and tea trees on the hillside can be saved by then will depend on God's will.

We have to look forward and not dwell on the past. If it cannot be saved, we can transplant new tea trees after the tea is harvested."

This is all we can do now, do our best and leave the rest to fate.

She is not a god and cannot bring the dead back to life.

"After all this talk, you still can't do anything." Wan Sheng said with a straight face, "In my opinion, instead of doing all this useless work, we should build good relations with the Hu, Shen and Chen families, and ask them to help us and sell some tea to us."

"Shut up!" Uncle Fang Xianshan said sullenly, "You are a member of the Jiang family, how can you say such things? If you don't work hard to take care of your own affairs, what good will it do you to be humble and modest?"

"Of course there is no benefit. At least we won't offend the government." Wan Sheng said stubbornly, "When the government finds out that we are short of so much tea, we will be held accountable."

Second uncle Xie Daoyun raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "Some people just like to be dogs! Little do they know that others treat you worse than a dog."

Jiang Yin almost laughed out loud. Combined with Xie Daoyun's expression, these words really made him look like he deserved a beating.

"You!" Wan Sheng stood up suddenly, pointed at Xie Daoyun and was about to curse, but Xie Daoyun flicked a stone at his finger and hit it down.

"Ahhh~ My hand." Wan Sheng covered his hand and howled, "Xie Daoyun, I'm not done with you!"

Xie Daoyun snorted coldly: "If you point again, I'll cripple your hand!"

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Wan Sheng howled more and more quietly, and finally did not dare to confront Xie Daoyun head-on.

Jiang Yin didn't care about their conflict. He just took a sip of tea and said, "Then, I'll leave it to you all."

She changed the subject and continued, "By the way, Great Grandfather and Third Grandfather didn't come back?"

She did send someone out to meet the call, but that doesn't mean she was fully responsible for the matter.

So many days have passed and those two haven't returned yet. Their children should be the most worried.

Jiang Si Niang said worriedly, "There is still no news from father. Ah Yin, how about sending some people to help? I am always worried."

"Why panic? No news is the best news." Aunt Jiang said calmly, "Maybe something happened and delayed him along the way."

Jiang Sanniang continued, "If Manager Cao was kidnapped, will my father and the others be kidnapped as well?"

She's not talking nonsense, it's the truth.

Even the manager of the teahouse was kidnapped, not to mention the manager of the tea mountain.

Jiang Yin sat up straight: "Don't worry, Sanniang, I will send a message to the city and ask the guards to pick her up in the city."

Sanniang’s worries were not wrong, there was indeed a possibility of being kidnapped.

If it is related to the person who kidnapped Manager Cao, we can follow the clues and find out the person behind the scenes.

"Don't worry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." Jiang Erniang gave Jiang Sanniang a soothing look and said, "A Yin, why don't you ask someone to go back to Chengdu Mansion to ask Steward Wang and Madam Feng first? It would be safer to let them arrange the pick-up."

Butler Wang and Madam Feng were both capable people, and they considered things more carefully than they did. Letting them make the arrangements might achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Jiang Yin was about to speak when Wan Sheng started to make trouble again.

He glanced at Jiang Erniang and said, "Second sister, that's easy for you to say. If he's not your father, of course you don't care."

"Ouch!" Just as he finished speaking, another stone hit the corner of his mouth, this time directly breaking the skin.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xie Daoyun's eyes, and he said coldly: "If you don't want to live, just say so. If I hear you howling again, you'll be in trouble."

Jiang Yin quickly picked up the teacup to hide the smile on her lips. Xie Daoyun's move was exactly what she wanted.

A person like Wansheng who talks too much deserves to be punished.

Furthermore, Jiang Erniang's father had passed away long ago, and Wan Sheng's words hit Jiang Erniang's throat. Xie Daoyun doted on his wife so much, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.

Seeing Wansheng bleeding, Jiang Sanniang felt a little unhappy.

She complained: "Second sister doesn't care about second brother-in-law, Wansheng is just a nagging person, we are all family, why did he use such a heavy hand."

Everything else is fine, but seeing blood is too much.
