Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 391 These tea eggs might really be too expensive for me.

Actually, it wasn't Xu Jianghe's family that owed Xu Yue tens of millions, but Wang Yun.

That money was borrowed before their marriage.

However, the two obviously didn't make such a clear distinction and wouldn't bother with pre-marital or post-marital property.

Xu Yue naturally wouldn't distinguish between them.

In these kinds of situations, it's actually better not to try to figure it out.

Moreover, Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun didn't care about external support at all.

“Keep it as a dowry for my cousin,” Xu Yue said. “I’m not short of money. I’ll deduct those tens of millions from your salary.”

Xu Jianghe simply smiled and didn't dwell on the issue any further.

Ten million is a considerable sum for his family.

But for Xu Yue, that really meant nothing.

As for salary?

Xu Jianghe had no idea how much salary Xu Yue paid him; his salary card was with Wang Yun.

She probably doesn't even know.

However, he knew that the highest-paid employee on the farm was not General Manager Tian Yizhi, but himself.

Xu Yue has given Tian Yizhi a raise several times.

After all, he now manages not only the farm, winery, mineral water plant, beverage factory, and red winery, but also environmental protection company and desertification control company.

You've increased their workload, but you're not giving them a raise?

Of course, the benefits and compensation are also extremely high.

Huang Liang's salary plus the dividends from the agricultural trade company probably doesn't even compare to Ueda Itsuki's salary and various benefits.

Xu Yue also paid wages to Guo Tianyou, Liu Chengji, and others.

The salary isn't low, but it can't compare to Tian Yi's.

However, what they really want are various benefits and perks.

As for wages, they don't care at all.

Moreover, Xu Yue also allowed them to go out and earn extra money.

For example, Guo Tianyou is also an advisor to Rongzhou Group.

If he needs to take action, there's money to be made.

Comparatively speaking, Lee Chu-ting was much poorer.

However, Xu Yue's salary was enough for his family to live on.

I doubt there will be many places where the money will be used.

Xu Jianghe wasn't too surprised to receive the money.

Xu Jianglin and Kumamoto Hai are different.

"So much?" Kumamoto Kai exclaimed. "Ten million in dividends in just the first year?"

"I heard from Xiao Yue that they've kept several hundred million in profits to develop the company," Xu Jianglin said. "Pharmaceutical companies are that profitable?"

Kumamoto Kai obviously didn't expect that he would feel somewhat lost after suddenly becoming rich.

This is only one year's dividend, and it's only the first year.

What's next?
So how much is this 1% share worth?

He used to feel a sense of superiority when facing his in-laws.

There's no other reason than that they're rich.

He wasn't considered wealthy in the county, but in the countryside, it was a completely different story.

But the shares his father-in-law is giving him now, the annual dividends of which completely surpass the wealth he has accumulated over decades.

The psychological gap is actually quite large.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

After all, he knew how successful Xu Yue had been in starting his business back in his hometown.

He casually gave his son a suggestion, and immediately the most luxurious hotel in the county opened.

"What should we do with this money?" Xu Jianglin asked. "Should we keep it, share it with the siblings, or pay it back to Xiaoyue on Xiaoyong's behalf?"

When Xiong Yong opened his hotel, Xu Yue lent him 20 million yuan.

That money hasn't been repaid yet.

"Keep it for now!"

Kumamoto Kai paused for a moment before making a decision.

"The hotel business is doing well, and I estimate that Xiao Yue will be able to pay back his money in a few years," Xiong Benhai continued. "Let him pay it back himself; that will give him some motivation. As for Xiao Yan, she shouldn't be short of money now."

"Ok!"

Xu Jianglin nodded.

Save that money for a rainy day.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the college is on holiday and has become quite deserted.

Xu Yue went to the laboratory and looked at the research of Liu Guoxing, Ma Bohan, and others.

I also took a look at his father.

"My third uncle said he'll be spending New Year's Eve at his house this year."

Xu Yue spoke to Xu Chengyang.

"Where are your father-in-law's family?" Xu Chengyang asked. "Aren't they coming to Taoyuan Village this year?"

“Come on!” Xu Yue said, “However, they plan to stay at Ruoxi’s older brother’s place. Ruoxi’s maternal grandmother and the others will also be staying there.”

Xu Jianghe knew about this, which is why he decided to spend New Year's Eve at his house this year.

Zhang Ruoyu and Han Lingxue own a villa in Taoyuan Village.

Their family lives right next to Building 3.

I wanted to invite Ruoxi's maternal grandmother and the others to come and live with them, but they seemed to prefer living in the courtyard there.

Perhaps it's also because we've gotten used to it.

"The pharmaceutical company distributed 100 million yuan at the end of the year," Xu Yue said. "Ten million yuan for each 10% share."

"Oh."

Xu Chengyang nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Xu Yue naturally didn't say much.

Those shares belong to Xu Chengyang, but he distributed them among his three children. It's only right to inform him.

"It seems quite a few people from the academy haven't left," Xu Chengyang said. "Many researchers in the lab probably won't be going home for New Year's Eve. I heard the cafeteria won't be open on New Year's Eve?"

Some students stayed on campus after the holiday, not in a hurry to leave.

Needless to say, the situation is even worse in the labs.

“The chefs need a break too,” Xu Yue said. “However, Xue Jing has taken stock of the staff and prepared the ingredients. Whether they take them home to cook themselves or cook in the cafeteria, it’s fine.”

Xu Chengyang nodded.

He has been talking with Ma Bohan a lot lately and has really benefited from it.

Of course, Ma Bohan also benefited greatly from the guidance of renowned TCM doctors such as Xu Chengyang and Xu Zixu.

"gone back."

Xu Yue chatted with Xu Chengyang for a couple of minutes, but seeing that the other was distracted and clearly didn't want to continue the conversation, he went back.

His main purpose in coming this time was to deliver two bottles of wine and tea to Liu Guoxing and others.

Two days before Lunar New Year's Eve, Xu Yue drove to pick up Zhang Zelin and others.

Xue Yan also came along.

That's not surprising.

She quite liked staying in Peach Blossom Village.

As soon as she arrived, she couldn't wait to pet the panda and then inquire about Da Huang's whereabouts.

The three pandas have now been tricked by Big Yellow into going to the camp; I wonder if they want to become Kung Fu Pandas.

"Did Dahuang trick Xiaobao and his family into going to the camp?" Xue Yan asked Xu Yue. "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"How can I manage that?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "Going to the camp is better than wandering around the village."

Needless to say, Big Yellow can cause you all sorts of trouble whenever he goes to the village.

And what about the three giant pandas?

That will almost always attract tourists to crowd around and take photos.

It is undoubtedly very troublesome.

Going to the camp didn't affect other people's training.

Xu Yue went to take a look, but then stopped worrying about it.

As for Kung Fu Panda, that's just a joke.

Those three pandas were very lazy and didn't participate in any training or anything.

"When will they come back?" Xue Yan asked. "They won't just stay at the camp and never come back, will they?"

“No, that won’t happen.” Xu Yue shook his head and said, “Sometimes I come back at night, sometimes I come back in the afternoon, there’s no fixed time.”

As for why he came back?
It's not that there's no food over there, it's just that it's probably not as comfortable as staying at Xu Yue's villa.

There are also formations at the camp, but they are obviously not as numerous or as good as those at Xu Yue's villa.

"Never mind then, I can't just sit here waiting for pandas to come to me," Xue Yan said. "But there will definitely be a chance."

She's not coming here to leave immediately, so I'm sure she'll seize the opportunity. Naturally, her first meal here today will be at Xu Yue's house.

Xu Chengyang also came back from the college and we ate together.

However, after the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Xu Chengyang went to the academy, while Zhang Zelin and the others went to the villa over there.

Although someone there cleans the place regularly, it had already been tidied up before we arrived.

You'll have to pack your own luggage.

My third uncle's family also went back.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the atmosphere in the village is getting stronger and stronger.

In the past two years, more and more people have returned to the village, especially those who are still working outside, who often come back for the Spring Festival.

With more people, it's lively, and the atmosphere is naturally created.

The number of tourists visiting the village did not decrease due to the Spring Festival; on the contrary, it tended to increase.

This is not unrelated to people returning from other places.

Of course, many people also take advantage of the holiday to come and visit.

Taoyuan Village may not be as famous as Mount Emei, but it is definitely worth a visit.

Many tourists visiting Mount Emei will stop by on their way, since it's close by.

Many travel agencies have partnerships with Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area.

Besides tour groups brought by travel agencies, many tourists also come by car.

It is undoubtedly a popular tourist destination.

The key is that it has a very good reputation.

It's very affordable, at least in terms of price.

Of course, there are expensive and cheap options.

The Taoyuan series of products has also become a choice for many wealthy people.

There is a "Taoyuan Series" specialty store in the scenic area.

The price is even cheaper.

Of course, those items are only sold at Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel; they are not available on the general market.

The expensive Peach Blossom Immortal Wine costs six figures.

Even the cheaper ones, like chicken eggs and duck eggs, cost over twenty yuan each.

Vegetables and fruits are also available for sale.

However, the quantities are not large.

Among them, mineral water is undoubtedly the best-selling.

The cheapest option is probably bottled water.

"Ruohai, look, there are still tea eggs here!" Xue Yan called out to Zhang Ruohai, "Thirty-one?"

“Didn’t you see that raw eggs cost over twenty yuan each?” Zhang Ruohai said. “Thirty-one is very cheap.”

Ten times the price, and you still call it cheap?

However, no one in the shop refuted it.

They've clearly marked the price; take it or leave it.

And it's also limited in quantity.

The Taoyuan series specialty store is newly built; it is not only luxurious but also very large.

They didn't come to Zhang Ruoyu's wedding last time.

The last time, the shop was still under renovation and hadn't opened yet.

Having nothing else to do, I decided to come and take a look around.

There were quite a few people.

"Let's try selling two," Xue Yan said.

"What's good to eat? Didn't you have eggs for lunch?" Zhang Ruohai said. "I want some tea eggs. I'll ask for some eggs and some tea leaves later and boil them myself."

"You can cook?" Xue Yan said. "You're not thinking of using Taoyuan tea leaves to make tea eggs, are you? If you do, your dad will probably beat you to death!"

The tourists nearby laughed upon hearing this.

The way they looked at Zhang Ruohai was no different from how they looked at a spendthrift.

Taoyuan Tea Shop naturally sells it as well.

That price is much higher than those so-called famous and precious teas.

Use tea leaves and eggs from Taoyuan Village to make tea eggs?
That's probably the most expensive tea egg in the fashion world.

The mockery from Taiwan that mainlanders can't afford tea eggs is probably about to come true.

But how many people can afford to eat those tea eggs?
I doubt many people over there can afford it.

Tea leaves in Taoyuan Village are sold by weight, but boiled tea eggs must be sold by weight, right?
Otherwise, how many can you cook?
“My brother-in-law should be able to do it,” Zhang Ruohai said with a smile. “Let’s sell two to try first. If they’re good, we’ll ask my brother-in-law to make them when we get back. He definitely won’t refuse.”

Refuse?
Definitely not. They probably never did it before; they never even considered it.

“It’s really delicious!”

Xue Yan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

This is definitely the best tea egg she has ever eaten.

"If white eggs are delicious, how could tea eggs be any worse?"

Zhang Ruohai said with a smile that he was not surprised at all.

However, it has a different flavor compared to white eggs.

"Do you see if there's any other cooked food?"

As Xue Yan spoke, she looked around.

And indeed, there are other cooked foods available.

For example, braised chicken, braised duck, and fried chicken.

They all bought some to try.

Although the price is high, it is well worth the money.

This isn't just Zhang Ruohai's and Zhang Ruohai's evaluation; it's the evaluation from everyone who has tried it.

Many people said they could have continued eating like this if they weren't struggling financially.

Zhang Ruohai and Xue Yan only bought some cooked food to try, and did not buy large bags of food like other tourists.

"Wow, a rich person!"

Xue Yan pointed to the display case of Peach Blossom Immortal Wine not far away.

Zhang Ruohai looked up and saw someone arguing with the salesperson.

The customer wanted to buy more bottles, but the salesperson insisted that it was a maximum of two bottles.

After arguing for a while, the man turned and left, then randomly found two tourists to buy the items for him.

The sales clerk looked completely bewildered.

Can you do this?

Should I sell it or not?
The text above states that each person is limited to two bottles, but there's no rule against bringing in others to make up the number.

The salesperson was at a loss.

Meanwhile, the wealthy man next to Yan Jing's eyes lit up, as if the man's actions had opened the door to a new world.

Can you do this?

It seems that this is indeed possible.

The sales clerk consulted with her supervisor before selling the item.

It doesn’t matter who you sell it to.

There weren't many people buying alcohol.

"Let's go back to find my brother-in-law. We should be able to have some unique tea eggs tonight."

Zhang Ruohai glanced at it and then spoke to Xue Yan.

Now that we've seen the excitement here, it's time to head back.

They didn't even consider buying a couple of bottles of wine; it wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but rather that it wasn't necessary.

"Brother-in-law, how about we bang on the door and get some tea eggs for dinner tonight?"

Zhang Ruohai said to Xu Yue with a smile.

"Tea eggs?" Xu Yue was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You like this?"

"I had two tea eggs at the scenic spot, they were absolutely delicious, but the tea leaves weren't quite right, so they weren't perfect," Zhang Ruohai said. "Does Auntie know how to make tea eggs?"

"You want to use tea leaves from Taoyuan Village to make tea eggs, right?" Zhang Ruoxi looked at her younger brother and said with a smile, "You're quite extravagant. Aren't you afraid of getting your legs broken? Aren't you afraid of Grandpa and Grandma?"

Zhang Zelin is a tea connoisseur, as are Zhang Ruoxi's grandfather and maternal grandfather.

"Now that he mentioned it, I'd like to give it a try," Xu Yue said. "However, it seems my mom doesn't know how to make it."

"Can't you do anything?"

Li Xiurong seemed to hear this, and came in carrying the child to ask.

"Tea eggs".

Xu Yue replied with a smile.

"Yes, we will!" Li Xiurong said. "Ruohai, do you like it? Auntie will make it for you later."
