After washing a cucumber and eating it, I don't know when. Then Lin Peilan remembered that she could go to Chen's mother's unit to get her keys.
Because of Chen's mother's consistent attitude towards her, Lin Peilan was unwilling to do that. Looking at the sack under her feet, she said that she would go out to run tomorrow, rather than today.
After emptying her bag and filling seven or eight cans of tea, Lin Peilan cleaned up and went out with that heavy bag on her back.
On the road, those who were enjoying the cool in the shade were still there. After eating, they came again. When they saw Lin Peilan go out again, they said hello with the same enthusiasm. Lin Peilan just kept smiling and nodded as a greeting.
Before those private words, as if by the strong sunshine disappeared, those people can even as did not say.
Lin Peilan only admits to backwardness when he says that the countryside is stupid and backward. If he is stupid, these people are much better than those gossipy women in the countryside.
It was when the sun was at its peak that Lin Peilan came out and looked at the street where even the pedestrians were wilting. She was a little at a loss and didn't know where to go.
After walking along the street for a while, I found several non-staple food shops, most of which are just emerging shops for daily necessities and clothes, as well as some small restaurants and food shops that can smell the smell of lampblack before I get close to them.
There are no shops specializing in selling tea. Let alone the city, there are two tea factories as big as the town. There are no shops selling tea outside. At most, they can only be placed at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Tea and rice are inseparable. After a round trip, Lin Peilan decided to go to those hostels of a certain scale and ask if she wanted tea.
Who knows, before entering the door, he was stopped, asked if there was a letter of introduction, and asked if he had an ID card. Lin Peilan didn't have any of these things.
He explained that he didn't come to stay, but to find someone. The man at the door didn't let Lin Peilan in.
The first attempt to sell tea in the hostel failed, and it had to go back to the street.
She was allowed to enter the restaurant, but she was a small business. It's good to make tea with mint, willow and bamboo leaves. Who would spend money to buy ten yuan tea for guests. Two hours later, there was no one willing to listen to her. Lin Peilan even thought of Aunt Zhang.
That is her first guest, or unconditionally believe her, even the taste of tea did not try to spend 10 yuan to buy three jin.
Thinking of Aunt Zhang, Lin Peilan had an idea. Since the businessmen are reluctant to spend money to drink good tea for their customers, then they are willing to.
The original inspiration was that the tea was roasted and sold door-to-door. When it came to the end, it was slowly forgotten.
If she wants to do it, she will not go to the shops to ask whether they want it or not. She will only go through the streets and select those who are looking at their families.
It's hot this season, so few people stay at home. They either move a chair to cool off in the shade of the gate, or three or five people get together and chat in the shade of the big banyan tree.
More elderly old man, wearing a vest, set up a chessboard, killing everywhere.
"Uncle, aunt, everyone is sitting here!"
At the intersection, she bought a bag of orange cakes and asked people to divide them into two or three portions to carry them in their pockets. Now when she got into the crowd, Lin Peilan said hello generously. When these people took care of her, she took out her tea.
"Today, I'm here to sell tea. I don't say anything first. After you taste it, you can see if it's good or not."
"Selling tea! That's a good thing. Girls, too? "
In his sixties, he was drinking tea with an enamel jar in his hand. When Lin Peilan said this, he became curious.
"Yes. It's still made by the teacher of this craft. The appearance and taste are excellent. If you want to taste it, I can make a jar for you to taste it. "
"Yes! The words are all empty, the real material is good. "
"I know I'm an expert when I say to you. Just a moment, everyone. I'll be right here. "
With the beginning, and the intention of the family, Lin Peilan's initial uneasiness and shyness, then let go.
There was a hot water seller on the street. She saw him before. She bought a hot water kettle, filled it with hot water and a large enamel jar. She came back to borrow water from a nearby family to wash the enamel jar and open a can of bamboo.
"It's white tea with light taste and good taste. It's most suitable for this season. Let's drink it in the shade."
Although Lin Peilan has lost a lot of weight recently, she is not as clean as she used to be, but her face is there, smiling and gentle, which makes people believe her for no reason.
There are old people and young people, old people, and women holding swaddling babies. These days are not as taboo as they used to be. They have a little respect for those who come to do business.
When Lin Peilan made tea, she took out a packet of orange cakes and said that it was for you to have tea. Everyone had a better impression of her. It was estimated that she was a liar. Her mind had disappeared.
Who didn't start a business, bought a hot kettle, poured hot water to make tea and tried to drink it? This process is too laborious. Those who don't do business sincerely won't come.
People in Fujian have a special feeling for tea since ancient times. Now life is better. The traditions and preferences left by the ancestors have gradually been picked up.
Of course, there are also people who don't drink tea, but only a small part of them. Just look at the two chess playing places in this alley and let people have a large enamel jar in front of them to drink tea. You can see that these people like tea.
When Lin Peilan came in, she observed that the enamel pots of those people were full of tea, and the color was very light, indicating that they had washed water many times.
Lin Peilan has such a great determination to do business here.
"Not bad! Although this white tea has been made for a short time, and its fragrance is not the strongest, it has already begun to form a good foundation for tea. How much is the tea per kilo? I'll take half a catty and try it
The chess player is obviously also a tea expert. He just smacked two mouthfuls of the tea soup, tasted it in his mouth for a while, and then gave a good evaluation.
"Good! Just a moment. I'll show you the tea
It took half a catty to open her mouth, which saved Lin Peilan's explanation. She could only sell half a catty. Lin Peilan took out the bamboo tube quickly.
"Except for the bamboo tube, it's more than half a Jin. Today's first business, I don't charge a high price. Although this white tea is not as good as autumn tea, it's also a first-class product. I'll give it to you at the price of 11 yuan per catty. "
"The price is not high." The master weighed the bamboo tube in his hand and said again, "I have a few on hand. You have enough tea."
Some people who didn't believe in it had a scale at home. They ran back to get a scale, which was different from Lin Peilan's 12 Liang scale. That person took a scale of 16 Liang. In addition, the bamboo tube had a weight of more than one jin. Lin Peilan was not angry when he saw that these people wanted to weigh it. As long as he was picky, it means that he had taken a fancy to the tea.
