Farmer’s Blessed Girl

He said: "The tea farmers all save the good tea leaves for old customers, it is impossible to sell them to me, and do you know how much good tea leaves cost per brick?"

Zhou Zhoulang used to unload goods for people in Yizhou City, so naturally he also met tea merchants. At that time, he asked how much the tea leaves cost.

However, the tea that he could unload one box after another was naturally not very good, and the price was moderate.

But this time when he came into contact with tea farmers in person, he realized that there are so many kinds of tea in the world. He said: "It's just such a small brick of tea, eighty taels, which is generally good. I heard that some big families , the kind with ten or so tea mountains, two bricks of high-quality tea leaves in spring, one hundred and eighty taels a brick, and tributes to the palace, which are even more expensive, even if you have money, you can’t buy them.”

Old Zhoutou couldn't understand, "This tea is also used to quench thirst. Anyone who wants to drink the two tea trees on the back mountain can pick them back and fry them. After making the tea, it will be bitter. Why are these things so expensive? price?"

He can understand that meat and food are expensive, and he also understands that cloth is expensive. One is delicious and the other is beautiful, but why is tea?

Zhou Zhou Lang shook his head, "I don't understand either, but rich and noble people like to drink this stuff, and if they have money, they can drink it naturally."

Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Mr. said that sometimes drinking tea is like tasting life, a cup of tea is like a world, and a cup of tea is a lifetime."

All the people in the old Zhou family listened in a daze, unable to understand the meaning at all. It sounded very powerful, and a little unreliable, but because Mr. Zhuang said this, the people in the old Zhou family Believe it even if you don't think about it.

Old Zhou Tou nodded deeply and said, "Then it seems that this tea is indeed a good thing."

Man Bao nodded.

Old Zhou asked Man Bao, "Why don't you drink?"

Man Bao picked up a piece of meat and said confidently: "Sir, I'm still too young to drink tea. I can't drink any taste. I only know it's bitter. It's better not to drink it."

"Besides, we are young, so it's not good to drink too much tea," Man Bao said, "But father, you and mother can drink more, brother, you should drink too."

Zhou Dalang said, "I can only drink bitter taste, but tea is more thirst-quenching."

It is also because of this that their family prefers to make a pot of tea and take it to the field to drink when they are going out to work. When they are thirsty, taking a sip is more thirst-quenching and more energetic than drinking plain water.

Man Bao said: "Tea is also medicine, which can prolong life, resist aging and strengthen the body."

The members of the old Zhou's family suddenly realized, and the old Zhou said: "No wonder, I said that those rich and noble families can't spend so much money drinking tea just to quench their thirst and eat the bitter taste?"

He said: "It must be because the good tea can prolong life, resist aging and strengthen the body, so it is expensive."

Zhou Zhou Lang also suddenly realized, and lightly patted the table and said: "I know what I told those Hu merchants after returning to Beijing."

Then he looked up at Man Bao and complained slightly, "Why didn't you say that this tea has this effect earlier?"

Zhou Zhoulang asked: "This tea is so good, isn't it more profitable than growing yams and ginger? Can our family grow it?"

Everyone thought about it.

Zhou Dalang directly said to Zhou Zhoulang: "When you go out to collect the tea later, ask how the tea is grown. Is there a tea seed directly, or is it directly cut like a privet seed?"

Thursday Lang nodded.

Man Bao felt a sense of crisis, and shouted: "Brother, you promised to grow grapes for me."

Zhou Dalang smiled at her and comforted her: "I have harvested all the seeds you gave, and I will ask your sister-in-law to spare a piece of land in the vegetable field for you to plant later."

Man Bao said: "Grapes are vines, and one can grow very long. There must be no way to plant so many seeds and vegetables."

Xiaoqian said: "It's only a small bag, not much."

The seeds that Man Bao brought back were really only a few, but Man Bao saw the picture of the vine from Ke Ke, and only then did he know that it can grow so much.

But Xiaoqian and the others have never seen it before. It is not certain whether such a small seed can be planted alive. If it is planted, how much space will it cost?

Zhou Zhoulang said: "If there is not enough space, move it. Didn't you say that grapes are fruit trees? All trees are the same, and they can live if they are moved."

Man Bao thought for a while, this is true, the entry in the encyclopedia said that vines can be cut, not to mention farming, her brothers know a lot more than she does.

When Zhou Zhoulang mentioned the matter of planting tea trees again, the old Zhou Tou did not object, and he also felt that the tea sounds quite profitable.

Zhou Zhoulang promised that he would ask carefully when he went to collect the tea again.

Tuesday Lang said: "This tea is not cheap, is it?"

Wu Wulang sighed, "It would be great if I could plant some branches, leaves and seeds from the wild like planting privet seeds at home. There are quite a lot of tea trees on the mountain."

Man Bao interjected, "Wild tea leaves are too bitter."

Just look at the Tao and the tea for them to drink.

Zhou Zhoulang rolled his eyes and asked Man Bao, "Does the Taoist and the little master in the Taoist temple still pick tea leaves?"

"Do you want to buy from him?" Man Bao said, "He doesn't have much."

Zhou Zhoulang said: "He doesn't have many, but I remember that there are a lot of wild tea leaves on several mountains over Dali Village. Isn't this spring coming soon, and the tea trees will definitely sprout..."

Anyway, A Liu Dun can't drink good tea or bad tea, as long as it is tea, and the price he gives A Liu Dun is not high, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for...

Zhou Zhoulang was thinking in his heart, and Man Bao said: "Daohe doesn't know how to make tea bricks."

"It's okay, I gave Ah Liudun loose tea when I was in the capital, and they also want fried loose tea."

And it's cheap, but it takes up more space.

Zhou Zhoulang was very ambitious and wished to bring back the four carts full of tea back to the capital, but he didn't have enough money, so in order to pursue more quantity, he could only lower the price of tea as much as possible.

But the tea prices in the hands of tea farmers are all about the same. If it is too low, he will not be able to compete with those tea merchants they are familiar with.

Therefore, in order to buy tea, he offered a higher price than other tea merchants, or three renminbi, or two renminbi, and they always had to pay a little more before they were willing to give some to him.

Otherwise, Zhou Zhoulang would not have thought of buying loose tea. There are not many tea mountains in Luojiang County, and the tea that the countrymen drink is to grab a handful from the mountain by themselves. There are also those that can be brewed as soon as they are exposed to the sun.

Those are all wild tea leaves grown on the mountain, just like wild vegetables, extremely bitter.

He had seen Ah Liudun drinking tea, they all boiled tea leaves with goat's milk, unlike them who only drank tea, they chewed the tea leaves together.

He also ate it, and found that the tea leaves boiled with goat's milk were not so bitter, and the fishy smell of goat's milk was gone.

So he felt that even if it was wild tea, Ah Liudun wouldn't mind it very much. If he really minded, he would just give it to him at a cheaper price.
