Chapter 491: Liu's Tea Shop (4)

Sanyuan tea, in terms of appearance, depends on its crushedness, color, tenderness, bar shape, and clarity; To taste with internal quality, observe its soup color, aroma, taste, and leaf bottom, which can be divided into upper, middle, lower, and three products, which are positioned at different prices. {First Reading}

The lower grade, the leaf is thick, the type is scattered, there is no milli, the taste is fragrant, the color is light, slightly bitter, the tea is one or two, and the money is three hundred Wen.

Medium grade, tender leaves, long strips, white hao, fragrant taste, light color, slightly bitter, one or two tea, ten money.

Top-grade, leaf tip, small round, fine, sweet and mellow, rich color, fragrant between the teeth, mouth and tongue, one or two tea, money hundred.

This is the price of tea given by the Mihara Yanagi Tea Factory.

To be honest, this price is very scary, especially the top-grade Sanyuan tea, one or two will cost a hundred, and they are all worth three or even four sturdy ploughing cattle. It is Liu Wuchen, a housekeeper who has seen the world and has developed a pampered and not shocked person, when he first heard the price given by the eldest young master of their family, his heart also jumped violently, and he increased the difference by thousands of times for a pound of tea that was not even worth a penny, which was crazy.

Although their newly made tea leaves are dozens or even hundreds of times better than all the tea cakes and tea groups today, and Liu Wuchen is also very optimistic about its prospects, but, like their young master, Liu Wuchen did not have much confidence in his heart to offer such a high and even amazing price from the beginning.

However, fortunately, there are not many of their top teas, and after nearly half a month, they can get out of the workshop for a total of only ten catties, and they are scarce and expensive. I can't say that there will really be people willing to pay for some tasting reviews.

However, the middle and lower tea, in the current Liufu from all over the tea collection, after drying and frying green, the resulting tea, is enough to 10,000 catties, just stacking tea storage room, are about to occupy half of the Sanyuan county, if you can all shot, then I am afraid that it will be a light tax. It will be an astonishing number, Liu Wuchen is a little unimaginable.

Last night, according to the business routines taught by the eldest young master in the past, big households were like Shangshu Mansion, Guogong Mansion, and Wangye Mansion. Wealthy businessmen like Yiheju Dahong Chamber of Commerce, send the three original tea, the middle family mansion, such as the five and four officials, the small wealthy landlord, send the middle grade. The rest of the small households, which are slightly wealthy, are all given away and the next products.

If it had been according to the price set by Liu Yiyi, they had scattered thousands of pieces of silver yesterday and overnight.

Is the money worth spent, and can it be earned back from these people sooner? Look at today. How is the business of Liu's tea mills in various places?

In the branch of Chang'an City, Liu Wuchen has always been a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the tea that their Liu's Tea Workshop is going to sell now is hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of times more expensive than the royal tribute tea in the palace, and no one has confidence in their hearts before making the first transaction.

Today. It was the official opening of Liu's Tea House. So, in the teahouse of the former house of the tea house. Liu Wuchen ordered someone to cook a large pot of Sanyuan tea, which was free for guests to taste, but it also attracted a lot of idlers who stayed on the sidelines to watch the excitement.

Drink tea and praise tea, but no one took the lead in proposing to buy tea, just bowl after bowl and poured it into the stomach.

Sitting inside the teahouse, Liu Wuchen carefully tasted the tea he brewed himself, gently looked back and forth in the store, and waited quietly with the guests who had been lying in the store and refused to move around, desperately drinking tea. {First Reading}

There are many people who come to inquire about the price, but there are even more people who are scared away by the price. Liu Wuchen saw it clearly inside, and some of the housekeepers in the mansion also hurriedly turned back after asking the price, such a cheap and valuable thing, some of them couldn't do it.

Of course, when these potential guests came to inquire about the market, the guys in the store should follow the instructions of the housekeeper and made a detailed introduction to the guests who came and went, such as the tea brewing method, drinking method, tea selection and exquisiteness, how to taste the best incense, etc., etc., lest anyone boil these hundreds of things in one pot.

In this way, a morning passed without realizing it.

In the afternoon, about three o'clock or so, someone finally took the cash, under the surprised and excited eyes of the guests and men in the teahouse, he took away half a catty, that is, eight taels of three original tea, eight hundred yuan of silver, and put it into his pocket.

This is not the saucer they invited, the person who came to buy tea, although he deliberately painted his makeup, but Liu Wuchen still recognized him, Li Qing, the current head of the East Palace. Regardless of whether he came to buy tea to support the party, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really needed it, this first transaction, they finally made it, 800 yuan, which can be called a good start.

Not long after Li Qing left with the tea, Wang Tai of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites also stepped into the store, unlike the previous Li Qing who did not want to be recognized, this time Liu Wuchen personally walked out to receive him. Liu Mansion and Wang Fu are also in-laws, and when the housekeeper of the in-laws arrived, Liu Wuchen couldn't be lazy, and he bowed his hand to Wang Tai, and after seeing the ceremony, he politely invited Wang Tai to the inside to chat.

"Brother Wuchen has found a good errand," the two sides sat down, and the next person was able to serve new tea, Wang Tai took a sip of the bowl, tasted it for a while, and then said to Liu Wuchen with a smile.

"Hehe, Steward Wang is serious, some small businesses are just not commendable. To be able to get to this point, it was also raised by the young master of our family, and when he left, he gave Wuchen such an instruction. Liu Wuchen said politely, looked up and asked Wang Tai: "Last night, Wuchen once sent one or two high-grade Sanyuan tea to the house for Master Wang to taste, I don't know what Lord Shangshu thinks of his old man?" ”

"Brother is here today, for this matter," and raised the bowl and took a sip of the Sanyuan strong tea, Wang Tai looked up at Liu Wuchen, smiled on his face, and said: "The master is very happy about this kind of Sanyuan tea, but because he doesn't know the way to brew, he boiled all the tea leaves in a pot last night, and he ruined the heavens. ”

"Here is a hundred gold," said Wang Tai took out a bag of yellow and clear gold from his arms, nudged it to Liu Wuchen, and said: "One or two top-grade Sanyuan tea, and the rest of the money, medium-grade and lower-grade tea, take half each, and bother Wuchen's first brother to make arrangements." ”

"Brother Wang is like this, it seems to be a raw matter," Liu Wuchen pushed back the money bag with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Wang and Liu's mansions are originally a family, since Master Wang likes the tea in the house, Brother Wang just takes it away for a while, this silver thing, don't mention it again, if the younger brother really collects it today, in the future, our master and young master will come back to the mansion, and the younger brother can't afford to bear it." Brother Wang doesn't know, whether it is the old lady of our family or the young master, they attach great importance to this etiquette and family affection. ”

"Wang Gang, you go and prepare some high-quality Sanyuan tea for Steward Wang, and bring it to Steward Wang when he returns home." Liu Wuchen turned his head to Wang Gang, the steward of the Chang'an branch next to him, and instructed: "Well, there is no need to be so troublesome, you can directly send the tea to the house of the master of the in-laws in a while." ”

"Husband, have you heard?" Got up and took off the official uniform on Liu Ertiao, Wang Caiyi said softly to Liu Ertiao: "Today in the county seat, the Liu's tea shop opened by the dustless housekeeper, the tea in it was sold at a sky-high price of one hundred yuan and one tael, do you say that the dustless housekeeper was stimulated by something, otherwise how could he offer such an outrageous price?" ”

Wang Caiyi was very puzzled, why did the dustless housekeeper who has always been calm and good in Liufu have such a bold act this time, one or two broken teas, and dare to sell it for such a sky-high price of 100 yuan? Can it be sold at such a price?

"Well, 100 guan is indeed a little higher," took off the official robe on his body, and Wang Caiyi hung it on the side of the couch, Liu Ertiao said softly: "But this is not to blame the dustless housekeeper, the price of tea should have been personally given by the eldest brother before, and the dustless housekeeper is just doing things according to the instructions of the eldest brother." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be a big brother," Wang Caiyi nodded nodly, and didn't say more, one is that the eldest brother is not good to evaluate, and the other is that their eldest brother can't be seen by common sense, the plough mill and the fat mill in front of them all show that in terms of doing business, their eldest brother has a very set, and the eldest brother's mind is not something that ordinary people can understand.

"Okay, it's night, let's go to the bed to rest," took off the boots on his feet and put them away, Liu Ertiao got on the couch, put his legs in the quilt, glanced at Wang Caiyi, and said: "In the future, we don't have to mention the things in Liufu, before my father and eldest brother come back, we have nothing to do with the current Liufu." ”

"Well, I see, husband!" took off the makeup on his head, Wang Caiyi also deceived himself on the couch, sat close to Liu Ertiao's side, obediently lay in her husband's arms, looked at Liu Ertiao and whispered: "Cai'er will also try her best to treat the matter of her husband's departure from home as real." ”
