I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.
Chapter 71: Making a fortune
The maid glanced at it and tossed the tea leaves back to Luo Yan: "The tea lady said she wants this young lady's."
Wang Yi put his hands into his sleeves and, using the table as cover, took out a cake of tea from his spatial storage—the best kind.
The tea lady looked at the tea leaves on the tray and laughed, "This young lady is truly generous."
These people are usually extremely stingy, and they can only take a small piece of tea each time they get it, so it's rare to see such a large cake like this.
Wang Yi felt a little embarrassed. She didn't mean to take so much, but the tea in her space was all in cakes, and she hadn't had time to open them yet.
Luo Yan looked pained and whispered, "According to the rules, this tea cannot be returned."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yiyi also looked pained. That was top-grade tea, the kind that costs one tael of silver per cake. She should have broken off a piece too.
The maid carefully delivered the tea leaves, which the tea lady took, smelled, broke off a small piece, and had it brewed and brought over.
No one dared to utter a sound, and they waited until the tea was brewed. The tea lady took a sip before saying, "Little one, this tea is quite good. The tea that was transported in the past, no matter how well it was preserved, was always a little lacking."
Wang Yi stood up and bowed to the person in the main seat, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Tea Lady."
Her tea is stored in a spatial dimension, where time does not change, so the tea leaves naturally remain unchanged.
She wanted to ask what to do with the tea leaves, but the tea lady had already called the next person.
She had no choice but to keep quiet.
Luo Yan smiled broadly: "Tea Lady is saying your tea is good. Just wait, someone will come looking for you after this is over."
Wang Yiyi was relieved and patiently waited for the tea lady to look at everyone's tea.
Luo Yan took a sip of tea and then shared some knowledge: "Although these people are all major tea merchants in the Northwest, they wouldn't dare to sell their tea if the tea lady said it wasn't good."
Wang Yiyi sincerely praised, "Tea Lady is a very capable manager."
Before long, a maid invited Wang Yiyi and Luo Yan to the back hall.
The tea lady had changed her demeanor, now sitting regally in the main seat. Upon seeing the two, she smiled and asked, "Where do you two come from?"
Luo Yan answered first: "From Danzhou."
Tea Lady's face immediately darkened with displeasure, and the maid beside her scolded, "Tell your master to answer. You, a servant, don't even know any manners."
Luo Yan's face darkened.
How does he look like Wang Yiyi's servant?
Wang Yiyi covered her mouth and chuckled before saying, "Sister, you misunderstand. This man is not my servant. I am able to buy tea because of his tea voucher."
Tea Lady then waved her hand, pretending to scold the maid beside her, "She's been spoiled by me. This must be Boss Luo, we've met before."
Luo Yan was somewhat apprehensive, not expecting that the tea lady would remember him: "Tea lady has a good eye. I opened a small teahouse in the west of the city last year."
"Your tea is quite good," the tea lady replied casually, then asked Wang Yiyi, "I haven't yet asked your surname."
"My name is Wang Yiyi."
The tea lady nodded and chuckled, "Boss Wang, how much tea did you bring this time? Why don't you sell it all to me?"
She paused for a moment and then said, "Selling to me is naturally not as expensive as selling to the market, but I have 178 tea shops and teahouses in the Northwest, which is much better than your little teahouse next to Boss Luo."
Luo Yan, who was named, was somewhat indignant. He only had one small teahouse in the Northwest, but he had eighty in the Southwest.
But since they were on someone else's turf, he not only accepted the remark, but also smiled ingratiatingly at the tea lady, saying, "Yes, yes."
Wang Yiyi was overjoyed and immediately announced his family's situation: "One hundred catties of top-grade tea, five hundred catties of superior tea, and one thousand catties of ordinary tea. I won't even mention the price; I'll buy them for four thousand taels of silver."
She then turned around and took out a cake of both superior and ordinary tea. The maidservant quickly took the tea and gave it to the tea lady.
Luo Yan tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late. These two thousand taels of tea were only sold for four thousand taels. Some of it was lost during transport, and there were also transportation costs, so they really didn't make much profit.
Wang Yiyi was completely unaware that she had doubled her money on this trip, and she felt that she had made a huge profit.
The tea lady laughed heartily twice: "Boss Wang is indeed a straightforward person. I'll take all three kinds of tea. Let's sign the contract now, and we'll exchange money for goods within three days."
Luo Yan couldn't take it anymore: "Tea Lady, don't try to fool Boss Wang just because he's young. The price is one thing, but you know how far the Southwest is from the Northwest. Where will he get the goods in three days?"
He knew best about the journey he had taken. Wang Yiyi had only brought 100 catties of tea with her in the carriage, and the rest was nowhere to be seen. She probably had to find a caravan to deliver it, and it would take at least two months.
The tea lady's smile vanished: "Boss Luo, business is business. You're all here, there's no reason for you to wait for my tea. If you leave and there's a problem with the tea, who am I supposed to turn to?"
"I..." Luo Yan was speechless. Normally, tea would be transported by a caravan, but they were different. Wang Yiyi had a horse that could travel a thousand miles a day, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
After all, the master had said that Wang Yiyi's possession of this horse should not be revealed.
Wang Yiyi stopped Luo Yan, gave him a reassuring look, took the contract and carefully examined it. Finding nothing amiss, she readily pressed her fingerprint on it.
He then smiled and said, "Tea Lady, don't worry, I will hand over all the goods within three days."
Tea Lady took the contract, pressed her fingerprint on it, and then gave Luo Yan a disdainful look: "A grown man is so indecisive, not even as straightforward as a young girl."
Before Luo Yan could react, she continued, "Boss Wang, there's something I must tell you. I got a good deal on the four thousand taels of silver, but if you sell it to someone else and can't deliver the goods, don't forget what's written in the contract."
Wang Yiyi said happily, "No, I hope we can do business together again next time."
"I got the better deal this time, but I'll make sure you don't suffer next time." After the tea lady finished speaking, the maid gestured for them to enter.
Stepping outside, Wang Yiyi was still somewhat incredulous. She had suddenly become a wealthy woman, giving Xie Yu two thousand taels of silver and keeping two thousand taels for herself.
She was so excited she almost shouted it out.
Luo Yan gritted her teeth, and as soon as the door behind her closed, she frantically shook Wang Yiyi's shoulders. "You know that you could have sold these tea leaves for at least another five hundred taels of silver. If you sell them at this price, after deducting transportation costs and losses, you won't even make a hundred taels. It's such a waste of my tea permit."
Seeing Luo Yan's ferocious expression, Wang Yiyi slapped his hand: "Speak properly to me."
She was shaken so hard she felt dizzy. If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful, she would have slapped him across the face.
After being hit, Luo Yan regained his senses and returned to his usual elegant gentlemanly demeanor. "Miss, where did you get the tea leaves in three days? The Tea Lady is not someone who is easy to talk to."
