Chapter 491: Liu's Spring (4)

The “Sanyuan Tea”, from the appearance, looks at its shattering, color, tenderness, strip shape, and clarity; from the inner quality, it can be divided into three types: upper, middle, lower, and positioned at different prices.

The lower grade is thick, the shape is loose, the taste is fragrant, the color is light, and slightly bitter. One or two taels of tea and three hundred min.

Medium-grade, tender leaves, long strips, white hair, fragrant taste, light color, slightly bitter, one or two taels of tea, ten cents of money.

The best quality is the tip of the leaves, small round, fine hair, sweet and mellow taste, rich color, fragrant between teeth, salivation caused by mouth and tongue, one liang of tea, and a hundred guan.

This is the tea price given by Sanyuan's "Liu Family Tea House".

To be honest, this price is very scary, especially the top-quality "Sanyuan Tea", which costs hundreds of stagnant per liang, and can be used to weigh three or even four strong oxen. Even Liu Wuchen, who has experienced the world, has become a housekeeper who is not surprised by the favor and disgrace. When he first heard the price given by the eldest son of their family, his heart was also thunderous. He increased the difference by thousands of times by a pound of tea that was not worth a penny.

Although the newly made tea leaves are dozens or even hundreds of times better than all tea cakes and tea balls today, and Liu Wuchen is very optimistic about its prospects, but Liu Wuchen doesn't have much confidence in his heart, like their young master, who has offered such a high or even amazing price from the beginning.

Fortunately, they don’t have many top-quality teas. After nearly half a month of searching, the total number of things that can be obtained in the workshop is no more than ten kilograms. The food is rare and expensive. I can’t say that when I can’t say, someone will really pay to buy some reviews.

However, among the teas collected by Liufu from various places, after drying and stir-frying green, the teas obtained by Liufu is as large as tens of thousands of pounds. The storage room where teas are piled up will almost occupy half of the Sanyuan County. If all of them can be taken, it will be an amazing number if the tax is paid at that time, and Liu Wuchen is a little unimaginable.

Last night, following the business routines taught by the eldest young master in the past, the wealthy merchants such as the Shangshu Mansion, the Duke Mansion, and the Prince's Mansion. They were rich as wealthy merchants like "Yiheju" and "Dahong Chamber of Commerce". They gave high-quality "Sanyuan Tea" and medium-class family mansions, such as officials of the fifth and fourth ranks, landlords with small wealth, and gave high-quality goods. Other small households with slightly richness were all given low-quality goods.

If they were given the established price according to Liu Yi, they would have scattered thousands of stagnants of silver overnight.

Whether this money is worth spending, and whether it can be earned back from these people earlier, depends on how the business of the "Liu Family Tea House" in various places is today.

In the branch in Chang'an City, Liu Wuchen was always a little nervous. After all, the tea they were selling now was hundreds or even hundreds or thousands of times more expensive than the imperial tribute tea in the palace. Before making the first deal, no one was confident.

Today, the "Liu Family Tea House" officially opened, so in the teahouse in front of the teahouse, Liu Wuchen ordered people to cook a large pot of low-quality "Sanyuan Tea" for free for guests to eat, which also attracted many idle people who stayed by the side and watched the fun.

Drinking tea and praise tea, but no one took the lead in asking for a tea, but just poured it into his stomach one bowl after another.

Such people who just want to take advantage of the situation are not expected. Sitting inside the teahouse, Liu Wuchen savored the tea he brewed himself, gently looked back and forth in the store, and waited quietly with the guests who had been staying in the store and refused to walk around and were desperate to drink tea.

There were many people who came to inquire, but more people were scared away by the price. Liu Wuchen saw clearly inside that some housekeepers in the mansion also hurriedly turned around after asking about the price. Some of their servants could not make decisions on such cheap and expensive things.

Of course, when they and the potential guests came to inquire about the market, the shop assistants responded to the butler's instructions and gave a detailed introduction to the guests coming and going, such as the method of making tea, drinking, selection and attention of tea, how to taste the best fragrant inscription, etc., so as not to let anyone cook this hundreds of staples of things in one pot.

That's it, a whole morning passed without realizing it.

In the afternoon, about three minutes later, someone finally took the cash and, under the surprised and excited eyes of the teahouse guests and the staff, took half a pound of money, which was eight taels of high-quality "Sanyuan Tea" and eight hundred guan of silver coins.

This is not the tea shop they invited. Although they came to buy tea, Liu Wuchen still recognized him. Li Qing, the current eunuch in the East Palace. No matter whether he came to buy tea to support or whether His Royal Highness really needed it, they finally made the first deal, with 800 jin, which was a great blessing.

Not long after Li Qing left with the tea leaves, Wang Tai from the Minister of Rites' Mansion also stepped into the store. Unlike the Li Qing who was not willing to be recognized before, this time Liu Wuchen walked out to receive it. After all, Liu Wuchen and the Wang Mansion were in-laws. After the housekeeper arrived, Liu Wuchen could not neglect it. He bowed to Wang Tai, and after seeing the ceremony, he politely invited Wang Tai to the inside to chat.

"Brother Wu Chen has taken a good job," both sides took a seat and allowed the guests to send new tea. Wang Tai carried the bowl and sipped it for a while, and then said to Liu Wuchen with a smile.

"Haha, butler Wang is so serious. It's just a small business, and it's not worthy of praise. It's all our young master who can reach this point. He gave Wuchen such an order before leaving." Liu Wuchen said a few politely, looked up and asked Wang Tai, "Last night, Wuchen had sent someone to the mansion to give one or two of the best-quality 'Sanyuan Tea' to Mr. Wang for his taste. I wonder what Lord Shangshu, what do you think?"

"I am here today, for this matter," Wang Tai raised his bowl and drank a sip of the low-quality Sanyuan strong tea. Wang Tai looked up at Liu Wuchen with a smile on his face, and said, "The master is very happy with this kind of 'Sanyuan tea'. But because he didn't know how to brew, he cooked all the tea leaves last night, which was a waste of natural resources. Now, the master asked me to buy some more for me to taste."

"This is one hundred gold," Wang Tai said as he carried a bag of yellow gold from his arms, pushed it to Liu Wuchen, and said, "One or two of the best 'Three Yuan Tea', and half of the remaining remaining money, medium and low tea leaves, and you have to trouble your brother Wuchen to arrange it."

"Brother Wang seems to be divorced like this," Liu Wuchen pushed the wallet back with his back, and said with a gentle smile: "Wang and Liu's mansions are originally a family. Since Mr. Wang likes the tea in the mansion, he will just take it away later. Don't mention this money matter. If I really take it back today, my master and young master will come back to the mansion in the future. I don't know that whether it is our master's wife or young master, we attach great importance to this etiquette and family affection."

"Wang Gang, go and prepare some high-quality 'Sanyuan Tea' for Butler Wang. Then bring it to Butler Wang when he returns home." Liu Wuchen turned his head and ordered Wang Gang, the manager of Chang'an branch next to him, and said, "Well, there is no need to be so troublesome. You will just send the tea to the mansion of the in-laws."

"Husband, have you heard of it?" He stood up and gently removed Liu Ertiao's official uniform. Wang Caiyi said softly to Liu Ertiao: "Today, in the county town, the tea in the 'Liu Tea House' opened by Butler Wuchen was sold at a sky-high price of 100 yuan per taels. Do you think Butler Wuchen was stimulated? Otherwise, how could he offer such an outrageous price?"

Wang Caiyi was very puzzled. Why did the butler Wuchen, who has always been calm and generous in the Liu Mansion, have such a bold move this time. He dared to sell a tea with one or two pieces of tea to a sky-high price of 100 cents? Can it be sold at such a price?

"Well, one hundred is indeed a little higher," he took off the official robe and let Wang Caiyi hang it to the edge of the couch. Liu Ertiao whispered: "But this is not a complaint on Butler Wuchen. The price of tea should have been set by the eldest brother himself before. Butler Wuchen is just doing things according to his instructions."

"Oh? So it's a big brother," Wang Caiyi nodded no longer, no longer saying anything. One is that they are not good at evaluating their big brother, and the other is that their big brother cannot be viewed from common sense. The Lifang and Feifang above all show that their big brother is very good at doing business. The big brother's mind is not something that ordinary people can understand.

"Okay, it's night, let's go to the couch to rest," Liu Ertiao took off his boots and put them on his couch, covered his legs in the quilt, looked at Wang Caiyi, and said, "We should not mention the matter in the Liu Mansion in the future. Before our parents and brothers came back, we had no relationship with the current Liu Mansion."

"Well, I understand, husband!" Taking off the makeup on his head, Wang Caiyi also bullied himself, sat close to Liu Ertiao, leaning obediently in his husband's arms, looking at Liu Ertiao in a low voice, "Cai'er will do her best to treat the matter of leaving his husband as real."
