"all?!"

"All?! Taigao?"

When Yan Yao heard Tian Youyou's plan, he was confused again.

It is normal for tea trees to need pruning, but direct pruning... is still rare.

“Since we have to cut the trees, we might as well dig them all up and replant them.” In Yan Yao’s opinion, it is better to plant new tea trees than to cut the trees. At least in the next few years, the output of tea trees will increase.

"We can also grow silver bud tea like the Dou family."

Yan Yao sighed, "It's just that the price of silver bud tea seedlings is very high now..."

"We don't have any skilled tea workers, so I'm afraid we won't be able to grow the tea well."

Tian Youyou directly rejected his idea.

"Since the Dou family has already planted the silver sprouts, we can't compete with them no matter how we plant them."

“We’ll plant Gyokuro.”

There are already workers in the tea garden, so there is no need to recruit more.

Tian Youyou directly asked them to cut down all the tea trees.

These workers are from the Yan family. They don’t know Tian Youyou, but they know Yan Yao.

They all looked at Yan Yao.

Only after Yan Yao reluctantly nodded did they take their tools, go to the tea garden, and start harvesting tea trees.

Table mowing is simpler than pruning. Just cut flatly 15 cm above the ground without any consideration.

The workers worked quickly and accurately.

In just one month, thousands of acres of tea gardens were completely barren.

The workers burn the cut tea tree branches into ashes and then scatter them back into the tea garden.

Like Sangcan Zhuangzi, Tian Youyou added spiritual spring water to the watering reservoir.

The tea produced in the tea gardens irrigated with this water will definitely be of high quality.

There are many benefits of drinking tea, such as eliminating fatigue and refreshing the mind.

The new Gyokuro tea can produce better effects than ordinary tea.

In this way, the reputation of Gyokuro tea will one day surpass that of Silver Bud.

Yan Yao looked at the bare tea garden and felt extremely heartbroken.

However, he also felt that Tian Youyou always did things with a plan in mind, and she would not do so if she was not sure.

so...

No matter how heartbroken he was, he did not stop her.

Of course, there is another reason...

This month, the Yan family's silk quilts are selling very well.

Just as Tian Youyou expected, people who had bought silk quilts before began to praise the benefits of the quilts.

What do you mean by light and skin-friendly?

What about breathability and skin care?

Some people even say that a silk quilt can make a woman's skin better and better, and not only the skin on her body, but also the skin on her face will become more tender.

In short, it is...miraculous, and...there is a lot of evidence to support it.

More and more people want to buy silk quilts. Some people buy one and want to buy more.

At this time, Tian Youyou asked Yan Yao to release all the silk quilts in stock in the silkworm farm, and announced that this was the last batch of the year.

If you want to buy another silk quilt, you will have to wait until April next year.

Having said that, everyone knows the reason.

This year's silkworm rearing time has ended and next year's will start from April.

Two thousand silk quilts were sold out by people in Qinzhou Prefecture in less than three days.

The Yan family made a profit of nearly 700,000 taels!

Plus the 600,000 taels sold in the previous month.

The total amount is 1.3 million taels.

It is more than three times what can be sold as silk!

The accountant of the Yan family was typing away at the accounts. He calculated several times before placing the account books for the last two months in front of Yan Yao.

"Master, the money we earned from the silk business in the past two months is more than what we earned in the whole year."

This year also refers to the silk business, and does not include other businesses of the Yan Mansion.

Yan Yao was stunned and flipped through the account book in disbelief.

In the first few months, I only made tens of thousands of taels each month. In July and August, because it was summer, the demand for silk increased and the profit exceeded 100,000 taels...

By autumn and winter, it was less than 30,000 taels per month.

The total amount for nine months was only over 500,000 taels.

And the silk quilt...1.3 million taels in two months.

Yan Yao also inquired about it, and found out that currently silk quilts are only sold mostly in Qinzhou Prefecture, and have not yet been sold to the capital.

That means...the market for silk quilts is still huge.

Fortunately, he had already registered it with the government office, otherwise if other people had copied it, they would have suffered heavy losses.

However, silk quilts sold so well that other silkworm farms that could not make silk quilts began to try making other things.

For example, silk winter clothes, silk hats, silk boots...

These things appeared all at once, and there was not even enough time to go to the government office to register.

No one can prove that they are the first or the only one.

The popularity brought about by the silk quilt also made them popular.

After the silk quilts at Jinxiu Zhuang were temporarily out of stock, silk winter clothes became popular.

Yan Yao became anxious again.

"Miss Tian, ​​they made these things... By next April, will... everyone have forgotten about the silk quilt?"

Tian Youyou waved her hand, "No."

Not to mention, they don’t know the production process of silk quilts for the time being.

I don’t know what happened to those silk clothes, hats, and boots, but they easily bunch up and become deformed after being worn for a short time.

Besides, the Yan family is very rigorous when selling silk quilts. Every time a quilt is sold, they will provide an "instruction manual" which clearly states the washing and drying methods.

After using it for a long time, it can be refurbished.

But there is no such service for silk clothes, hats, boots, etc.

"Next year, when our new silkworm cocoons come out, we can also make these things, but our products will definitely not have the problems they have."

"When the time comes, do you think people will buy ours or theirs?"

Yan Yao thought about it and it made sense. Those things got deformed after just a few days of wearing, and when they were torn open, there was a mess inside. Everyone was very angry about buying them, so how could such a situation affect their silk quilts?

The silk quilt only looks better compared to their things.

"The New Year is coming soon. I should go back."

"Yan Yao, what about you?"

"Will you stay in the Yan Mansion to celebrate the New Year, or go to Xiaohegou Village to celebrate the New Year with us?"

Yan Yao always spends the New Year in the Yan Mansion with his parents...

But now he is the only one left in the Yan Mansion.

Yan Yao thought about it and decided, "I'd better go to Xiaohegou Village with you to celebrate the New Year."

"Anyway, I'm alone in Yan Mansion..."

After waiting for a few more days, the little ones planted all the mulberry trees in the Tian family's silkworm farm, and then they all took a ox cart to Xiaohegou Village.

As soon as we arrived in Cizhou Prefecture, it suddenly snowed heavily.

Tian Youyou and Yan Yao were stopped in Cizhou Prefecture.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Youyou took the little ones to Baiyun Manor and Youran Manor.

The second season of rice at Baiyun Manor and Youran Manor has been harvested.

Tian Youyou directly bought a few slaughtered New Year pigs and went to Youran Manor first. She distributed the New Year pigs to the little guys who were helping in the manor, and then stored the harvested rice into the space.

He took the remaining New Year pig to Baiyun Manor and distributed it to the tenants.

The lives of the tenants of Baiyun Manor have been completely turned upside down this year.

At this time last year, they had no meat, let alone wild vegetables or bamboo shoots to eat.

But this year, even though Tian Youyou didn't bring the New Year pig, they still bought some meat themselves.

They left enough food for themselves for two years, and sold the rest, sharing more than one hundred taels of silver.

According to their previous dreams, if they had a hundred taels of silver in their hands, why would they still be farming for others?

Of course they had to go to the county to rent a shop and do some small business.

But...

When they really had a hundred or so taels of silver, they found out...

Instead of doing a small business where you don’t know whether you will make a profit or a loss, you might as well stay here and farm for Tian Youyou.

At the very least, you can earn a hundred or so taels of grain a year.

What small business can guarantee a profit of a hundred taels every year?

"Thank you, young lady." The tenants thanked Tian Youyou from the bottom of their hearts, "Thank you, young lady."

Tian Youyou asked them to get up, "No need to be so polite."

"Anyway, I will still need you to farm for me next year."

"Don't worry, girl. We will definitely farm well."

If there is money to be made, they would be willing to do it by the hundreds or thousands.

"I see the fields have been plowed. You can go back to your village and stay there for a while after the New Year. It won't be too late to come back in the spring."

The snow was still falling, and Tian Youyou and Yan Yao were walking on the streets of Cizhou Prefecture.

She wanted to buy something for her two younger siblings...

When passing by a shop, Tian Youyou stopped and turned to look in disbelief.

When did a...Jinluyi hotpot restaurant open here?

She remembered that this was originally supposed to be... the Seven Stars Tower?

Yes, this was originally supposed to be the Seven Star Tower.

How did it become a golden-thread-cloth hotpot?

Moreover, it is not even lunch time yet, but many people have already gone in and are waiting.

Tian Youyou was curious and walked in as well.

"Girl." The guy inside was a new face and didn't know Tian Youyou. "Here is your license plate."

Tian Youyou took the bamboo sign handed to her by the waiter, which had the number eighteen written on it.

In other words, before we even arrived at the restaurant, there were already eighteen tables waiting.

There are people lining up behind her...

"Miss Tian." Suddenly, a person squeezed in from the crowd.

Tian Youyou looked at him and felt that he looked familiar. He was a former employee of Qixinglou.

"Our boss is upstairs. He sees you and asks you to come up." The waiter raised his hand and asked Tian Youyou to follow him.

Tian Youyou called Yan Yao and followed the waiter upstairs.

"Miss Tian." Shopkeeper Xie bowed to Tian Youyou and said, "Please take a seat."

Tian Youyou sat down and asked, "When did the Qixing Tower become a hot pot restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Xie was a little embarrassed. "I had this idea last year, but this year... this year the vermicelli was available, so I changed it immediately."

"Miss Tian, ​​you don't know how many people come here for the hot pot."

"Besides, everyone knows that the authentic hot pot comes from Qixinglou."

"so..."

So he simply converted the Qixing Tower into the Jinluoyi Hot Pot.

“It’s been more than two months since this change.”

It’s just the time when Jerusalem artichoke vermicelli comes on the market.

"Miss Tian, ​​you came at the right time. Try it and see if there is anything I can change about this hot pot."

As Shopkeeper Xie was speaking, the waiter had already brought the hot pot.

A charcoal hot pot, with various dishes served one after another.

The most popular ones are the golden thread-thread mulberry and Jerusalem artichoke vermicelli produced by Xiaohegou Village.

Others include fried rattle rolls, as well as shrimp balls, fish balls, fish fillets and shrimps made by Tian Youyou.

Qixinglou learned from the experience and made small meatballs, mushrooms, radishes, cabbage, tofu, etc.

There is a combination of meat and vegetables, but there are still too few dishes.

Tian Youyou picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

In fact, hot pot is hot pot, but it is not served with dipping sauce and relies entirely on the taste of the soup.

The taste of the dish prepared by Qixinglou was similar to the one she prepared at the food market, with only simple adjustments made.

"Was this also done by Miss Tian?" Yan Yao was extremely surprised.

Hot pot is well-known, but many people only know that hot pot originated from the Qixing Tower in Cizhou Prefecture.

Tian Youyou pointed at his chopsticks and said, "Don't just stand there, try it."

Yan Yao took a bite and found that eating this hot pot in winter is both warming and delicious. No wonder it is so popular.

Tian Youyou... No wonder my cousin cares about her so much. She is so smart, quirky, and capable. If she becomes the Crown Princess, Daqi's future... will definitely be different.

When Tian Youyou went to Yan's house, the first batch of vermicelli had just been delivered.

She hasn't tasted this year's vermicelli yet.

I picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into the pot. After cooking for a while, it was very springy and the quality was the same as last year.

"Boss Xie used my idea to open the shop..." Tian Youyou looked up at Boss Xie, "Boss, is it also..."

Manager Xie was a smart man. As soon as she started talking, he knew what she meant.

"How much does the girl want?"

Tian Youyou: "This store was originally owned by Shopkeeper Xie's Qixinglou. There's no reason for me to own it."

"I was thinking...we could open a new store together."

Shopkeeper Xie was stunned. "Open now? Is it too late?"

There are many things to prepare when opening a restaurant.

Especially in Cizhou Prefecture, due to the popularity of hot pot, many new restaurants serving hot pot have been opened in Cizhou Prefecture.

Nowadays, it is difficult to just buy a shop that can be used as a restaurant.

When Tian Youyou heard this, her eyes rolled rapidly.

Since many people from other places come to Cizhou Prefecture to eat hot pot, it is not necessary to eat it in Cizhou Prefecture...

In the suburbs of Cizhou Prefecture, you can also...

"Can you please go to the pawnbroker's shop and ask Ling Xiang, the pawnbroker, to come over?"

"no problem."

"Let Ling Xiang bring the information about the manor house listed in the suburbs."

The guy brought Ling Xiang quickly.

"Ms. Tian, ​​is it really you? I thought the young man was joking." Ling Xiang sat next to Tian Youyou in a familiar manner.

"Miss, do you want to buy a farm?"

"There are two more manors for sale near Baiyun Manor and Youran Manor."

Tian Youyou waved her hand, "No hurry, I want to see if there are any manors around the city first. The closer to the city, the better."

Ling Xiang took out the booklet and flipped through the pages one by one...

“The closer to the city, the better...”

After searching for a while, I finally found a suitable one. "Is this okay?"

She showed Tian Youyou the map of the manor, "The manors near the city are not that big. This one only has 300 acres."

"The price is not cheap either. Three hundred acres costs four thousand taels."
