Chapter 447 Fang Chenghai who knows how to fry tea

"Yuanzhi, it seems that you are living a good life here, so my sister will feel relieved."

Mrs. Fang Sun said while wiping tears from her eyes.

After the excitement, she felt deeply happy for her brother.

There were only two stools in Sun Xiucai's tent. He helped his sister sit on the stool and asked his brother-in-law to sit down as well. Then he turned around, made a pot of tea, brought it over, and said with a smile:

"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine here. Everyone is very kind to me. In addition to delicious meals every day, they often bring me candies, pastries and wild fruits picked in the mountains."

"Miss Qiao gave me this tea. Try it. This is the best tea I have ever drunk."

He poured tea for the two of them, and they took a sip from the teacup.

"Well, this tea is fragrant and sweet, with a long aftertaste. It's a rare and good tea!"

Fang Chenghai praised.

Huangshan County is full of loess, so the harvest of crops is not good, but tea can be grown. Therefore, tea trees are planted on many mountains in Huangshan County, but most of them are tea gardens owned by wealthy masters.

Only some smaller mountains, or areas that are not very good, have not been bought by wealthy people, and the surrounding people can open up wasteland and grow food that can be grown on dry land.

Fang Chenghai once fried tea in a tea workshop in the town. Because of his hard work and hard work, he gradually developed good tea frying skills and was highly valued by his employer.

However, he was honest and honest, and he didn't understand people well. He taught an apprentice, but the apprentice was jealous of his being favored by his employer and framed him.

His boss thought he had smuggled tea home, so he was beaten and kicked out.

The person who framed him also spread rumors everywhere, letting everyone in the town know that Fang Chenghai was a thief. From then on, no one hired him to make tea.

Although he can no longer go to work in the town, Fang Chenghai still has a deep love for drinking tea.

He planted more than a dozen tea trees in the remote mountains, and picked the tea leaves every year to roast and drink them himself.

It's just that the tea trees he grows are naturally not as good as those professionally grown by others, and he can only drink the tea at home and give some to the folks.

Sun Xiucai also drank a lot of tea given by his brother-in-law. He knew that his brother-in-law also liked drinking tea, so he immediately took out the good tea given to him by Qiao Ran and brewed it for his sister and brother-in-law to drink.

Fang Chenghai had roasted a lot of tea leaves and naturally tasted a lot of tea, but at this moment he felt that all the teas he had tried before were not as delicious as his brother-in-law's tea.

Seeing that his brother-in-law also praised the tea, Sun Xiucai said:

"I still have an unopened bag here, give it to my brother-in-law and take it home to drink!"

He took out a pack of tea in an aluminum foil bag. There were no words or patterns on the bag. It was the Dahongpao that Qiao Ran had unwrapped and given to Sun Xiucai.

Fang Chenghai refused several times, but when Sun Xiucai insisted on giving it away, he had no choice but to accept it happily.

Sun Xiucai added: "Miss Qiao said that she will also plant tea trees in Devil's Valley in the future. Brother-in-law, if Miss Qiao needs to hire tea fryers, brother-in-law should also come and work!"

"Really? Miss Qiao also wants to grow tea and start a tea business?"

Before Fang Chenghai could reply, Fang Sun asked with surprise on his face.

She believed in her husband's character and knew that he had been wronged. He had been depressed these years, and it made her heartache to see him.

If Miss Qiao needs a tea fryer here, her husband can go back to his old job and continue to do what he is good at.

Fang Chenghai was also happy when he heard this, but then his face darkened and he said lonely:

"However, I have been harmed by a villain and my reputation has been tarnished. If Miss Qiao finds out, she will definitely not dare to use me. Even if she doesn't know, I can't deceive her. If she finds out in the future, I'm afraid it will hurt you. "

The happy look on Fang Sun's face instantly turned to bitterness.

Sun Xiucai quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, Miss Qiao is not the kind of person who listens to rumors. She looks at the true character. Brother-in-law has never done anything wrong, and Miss Qiao will definitely not give up on a suitable worker because of rumors." .”

Hearing what he said, Fang Chenghai and his wife looked at each other, with hope in their eyes again.

Huangshan County is too poor, and the people in Fangjia Village are too miserable. Fang Chenghai has always wanted to make his wife, son and brother-in-law live a good life without worrying about food and clothing through his hard work. He finally taught a disciple but was killed by his disciple.

If there is really a chance to work in Devil's Valley to earn money, then the family will no longer have to work so hard on that barren yellow land.

"Well, after I go back, I will practice my tea-frying skills again, and don't get rusty. If Miss Qiao needs to hire tea-fryers at that time, you ask Miss Qiao if I can come. Remember, you must Tell Miss Qiao clearly that I was slandered and stolen in the town, and I can’t hide it from Miss Qiao.”

"Okay, I will, brother-in-law, don't worry."

All three of them have deeper expectations for their future lives.

In the Qiao family tent, Uncle Fang and Mrs. Qiao were chatting and talking about the current situation of Fangjia Village.

"Alas, our place is probably much poorer than your original village! There is loess everywhere, and the crops we grow are less than half of those outside. The county magistrate refuses to reduce or reduce taxes, and the food collected every year is not enough to pay taxes. If we don’t have enough food, we can only open up wasteland in the mountains and plant some corn, beans and the like to fill our stomachs.”

Uncle Fang sighed, and Mrs. Qiao sighed.

"Well, the life of us poor people is indeed difficult. It would be nice if we had a parent-official who made decisions for the people. He could reduce or reduce some taxes, or help us think of ways to find crops suitable for local planting. If something bad happens Officials, it’s going to be difficult for us ordinary people!”

Mrs. Qiao said with emotion.

Uncle Fang echoed: "Who says it's not the case? Our Huangshan County is not far from the capital, but there are mountains and loess everywhere. The beggars are so poor that they don't go there to beg for food, and the officials don't even go to the remote areas. If we go there, there will be no one to make decisions for us. Successive county magistrates have regarded it as a shame to be an official in Huangshan County. They did not consider the people at all and just kept amassing money, wishing they could squeeze it out. He gave up every last drop of blood and sweat of our people."

Speaking of this, Uncle Fang's expression suddenly lit up again, and he said excitedly:

"However, I heard recently that the magistrate Qian of Huangshan County was found to have colluded with the magistrate of the capital government office, engaged in corruption and bribery, and preyed on the common people. He has been dismissed by the court, and there will be an announcement soon. The new county magistrate has taken office. Thank God! Finally, Mr. Qingtian makes the decision for us people, except for that big worm, Magistrate Qian!"

Uncle Fang said, clasping his palms together and piously thanking God.

Qiao Ran, who was roasting sweet potatoes and playing with Xiao Ba, understood what Uncle Fang said.

This must have been done by Mr. Mo. He should have asked people to collect evidence of Jia Tongxuan and these corrupt officials, and brought them all down.
