Escaping the Famine with 9 Deaths and 1 Life, I Have a System, My Heart Isn't Panicked

Just out of rating, it will rise, haha.

Tang Youyou opened her eyes and found herself an ancient, timid widow. Having been single for over 30 years, she inexplicably skipped marriage and chil...

Chapter 217 Tea Business

On the eve of Qingming Festival, Tang Youyou led the villagers to pick tea in the mountains. She couldn't help but think of her mother and felt a little lost.

"Mom, it feels like it's going to rain, let's go back quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "boom!" the rain started to fall.

Everyone was soaked when they got home.

Lin Huahua served ginger soup.

Tang Youyou waved her hand, "It's okay, spring rain is as precious as oil. This rain will give the vegetables in the field a break!"

"Mom, this tea is so tender! I wish it could stay this tender all year round! I really like the taste of this tea!"

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Tang Youyou's head, and she grabbed Lin Huahua's hand, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

Lin Huahua was confused and repeated what she had just said.

"Yes, everyone likes the taste of this tea! Haha... Huahua, you have a really good brain!"

Lin Huahua: Why does it sound weird? Are you praising me?

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Your aunts are coming to learn how to stir-fry tea. I'll leave it to you two. I need to go to the county town!"

The two looked at each other and could see each other's panic.

"Mom, we can't!"

"If I say it's okay, it's fine. We're drinking it ourselves, so as long as it's not burnt, it's okay!"

Afterwards, they called in a powerful man and the two of them went to the county town.

When Jia Fugui heard her purpose, he frowned, "Sister, forgive me for being blunt, but you'd better not get involved in any business related to tea and salt!

Although you are a lady, you have no real power. Don't bring trouble upon yourself!"

"Brother, I just want to ask you, do you have any channels?"

"Alas... why are you so persistent? I have a good friend who runs a business in this field, but the competition is too fierce, and his business is currently bleak!"

Yue Niang suddenly interrupted, "Master, are you talking about Brother Jiang?"

"Indeed, this tea business has far-reaching implications, and it's all controlled by aristocratic families! He's now caught between a rock and a hard place. In my opinion, if he doesn't withdraw, he'll probably lose everything!"

Tang Youyou was a little confused, "Hearing what big brother said, he is not from a noble family?"

Jia Fugui shook his head. "He doesn't come from a good background. He's a bastard from a branch of the Jiang family! He's taking goods from someone else's legitimate son!"

"May I ask, big brother, does he have a lot of inventory left over?"

"Who in business doesn't have a lot of inventory? Tea, for one, is expensive to begin with, and it spoils easily if not stored properly!"

Tang Youyou immediately had an idea, "Brother, I wonder what kind of people these Jiang brothers you mentioned are?"

Jia Fugui's eyes were filled with regret, "It was because he was so talented that he passed the imperial examination at such a young age that he was suppressed by his legitimate son. For so many years, he had to endure humiliation and live for his concubine!

However, his mother passed away two years ago, and he has been separated from the family!"

He sighed heavily again, "Brother Jiang is a cheerful person and has helped me before! But now..."

"Brother, I have a way to help him!"

Jia Fugui became interested and asked, "Sister, are you also interested in tea?"

"Haha... Of course not, but I'm a high-end foodie! Tea, since it's something you can eat, is also a delicacy!"

When Jia Fugui saw her confident look, he stood up with a bang.

"Walk……"

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the capital city, I'll take you to see him, let's go!"

Yue Niang frowned slightly and pointed outside. "It's still drizzling, and the ground is very slippery. Let's go tomorrow!"

Jia Fugui waved his hand: "Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and I will take the children back to worship my ancestors. You don't know that Brother Jiang has been anxious for a long time!"

So, Tang Youyou met Jia Fugui's sons for the first time. They were all strong and frail, but very polite.

"Brother, you have five sons?"

Jia Fugui: Is five a lot? Don’t you have four too?

"Ahem... six, and one of them can't even walk!"

It was already dark when they arrived at the city, so they stayed directly at the Jia Mansion.

The first time Tang Youyou came to his house, she felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Brother, your house is so big!"

Jia Fugui nodded and said, "I bought this for two thousand taels of silver when I was twenty years old. Now this four-story courtyard has increased in value by more than ten times!"

"Brother has good taste!"

Jia Fugui waved his hand and said, "After buying this house, I only had ten taels of silver left, and Yue Niang was still pregnant..."

The conversation started like this, and finally Jia Fugui started to talk about his difficulties with tears and snot, which made the children at the dinner table speechless.

"What are you looking at? I, Jia Fugui, have a great reputation throughout my life, but how could I give birth to five idiots like you!

Boss, if you fail the exam this time, you will have to live in Zhuangzi for the rest of your life.

Second brother, if you can’t write well, go learn embroidery!

Third brother, I am not afraid to tell you that our family runs a cloth shop, but why do you like to be a carpenter? Besides, does being a carpenter conflict with your studies?

Fourth brother, what are you grinning about? You're the most troublesome person, and your monthly salary will be deducted!

"Old Five, you still have the nerve to hold your tongue? Don't think that I won't punish you just because your stepmother spoils you. If you dare to fight with the kid from the Wang family next door again, you'll have something to worry about!"

Tang Youyou: They really are a bunch of naughty kids. How could they force someone who is usually emotionally stable into this state?

"Haha... Why is Brother Fugui scolding the child again?"

The children stood up when they saw this, "Uncle Jiang!"

Jia Fugui didn't stand up, but pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Hurry up and sit down. The food has just been served. I've been waiting for you!"

"Brother Fugui, who is this?"

His eyes fell on Tang Youyou, and his brows furrowed slightly, thinking that she was Jia Fugui's new love.
