"Dare to ask the old shopkeeper, is this really tea?"

"naturally!"

The old shopkeeper looked arrogant.

"But, a roadside shed in your district actually sells tea? How do you sell this tea?"

Several middle-aged people hurriedly said politely.

Although they can't afford tea, they have all seen those great Confucians and dignitaries drinking tea from a long distance away.

This kind of yellow water really seems to be tea, even better than those noble people's tea.

And people who can open tea shops on the side of the road are naturally not ordinary people.

"Several gentlemen, you are being polite. I only sell two kinds of tea here. One is ordinary tea, two bowls for one penny, and one pot for five pennies. The other is said to be Longjing tea, the tea that nobles drink , a bowl of fifty Wen, a pot of five hundred Wen!"

The old shopkeeper said quickly.

"Old shopkeeper, please bring me a pot of ordinary tea, let me taste it first!"

Looking at the two bowls of tea with a delicate fragrance on the table, several people subconsciously looked at each other, couldn't help swallowing, and said politely to the old shopkeeper.

"Okay, the gentlemen can choose a table and sit down, and the tea will come right away!"

The old shopkeeper looked happy, and quickly took out four clean large bowls from the side counter, and placed them on the table.

Afterwards, he brought out a pot of steaming teapot and filled it up for several people.

Seeing this, several faces were delighted.

Then, he couldn't help but lift the teapot and looked inside.

However, only a group of dark leaves can be seen, which seems to be the tea leaf.

Can't help but be full of curiosity, "Old shopkeeper, where do you get your tea from!"

"Back to the gentlemen, these teas are all bought from the owner!"

The old shopkeeper grinned and replied.

"Employee?"

The faces of several people were stunned, and they asked quickly: "Dare to ask the old man's boss, who is it?"

"The little old man is from the Li family village in the south of the city!"

The old man's name is Dazui, and he is the group of veterans who guarded the glass shed at first.

"But His Royal Highness King Jin?"

A few people looked surprised and stood up quickly.

"Exactly!"

Qi Dazui couldn't help showing a few rotten teeth, and said slowly.

"I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness King Jin's sect!"

Several people hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"Everyone, don't be like this. This is just an ordinary farmer, and I shouldn't be treated so politely by you!" Qi Dazui said hastily.

"Dare to ask the old shopkeeper, how are these teas sold? How do I look at them, these teas are somewhat different from the teas eaten by those nobles in the city?"

After sitting down, the few asked curiously again.

"You guys don't know that this tea is a stir-fried dish invented by the king. You only need to soak it in boiling water and you can drink it. It is simple and quick, and the taste is fragrant and elegant. Everyone can drink it!"

Qi Dazui explained.

"It was actually created by His Royal Highness King Jin!"

The few people were shocked again, and after recollecting the words of Qi Dazui, their eyes were happy, and they asked quickly: "Dare to ask the old shopkeeper, where can I buy these tea leaves?"

"There is a shop selling tea in Chang'an City, named Jincha, you can go and find Jincha." Qi Dazui said.

"Thank you old shopkeeper!"

Several people hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted in thanks.

Immediately, after drinking all the tea in the bowl, he no longer cared about checking the concrete roads, and quickly ran into Chang'an City.

And during this time, some customers came in one after another.

Qi Dazui used the same words to introduce.

Those who dare to come in when they see the shop with tea hanging have some family property.

Therefore, Qi Dazui made a pot of tea, but basically only drank half of the pot, and these people paid for it and ran into the city.

Similarly, tea shops like Qi Dazui are opened on all the paved concrete roads around Chang'an City.

The effect is also very obvious.

In Chang'an City, Cui Hongmo, Zheng Mingde and others sat in the small teahouse opposite the Jincha shop, while slowly drinking Huang Tongtong's tea, looking at the opposite side, in the Jincha shop, there were one or two tea customers from the beginning. , and then packed to the brim.

However, there are two houses in Jincha shop.

One is ordinary tea.

The other room is very extravagantly decorated and is only responsible for receiving nobles such as princes and princes.

Of course, if there are wealthy customers who can afford thousands of tea leaves at one time, they can also sit in. There are high-quality tea tables and tea chairs inside, and there are also young and beautiful maids who make tea for them. taste.

In addition, the waiter in the Jin tea shop also introduced the benefits of drinking tea to a group of customers according to Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde's explanation.

Of course, the long-lasting function is what attracts the most customers!

However, everyone didn't ask too much, but kept it in their hearts tacitly!

……

Chapter 283 Tea Sold Out

The sudden opening of the Jin tea shop caused a sensation in the entire city of Chang'an in just two days.

Even in the prefectures and counties around Chang'an City, some rich merchants came all the way after hearing about it, just to buy a catty or two of exquisitely packaged tea.

However, some great scholars from aristocratic families scoffed at the sudden appearance of fried tea.

"Stir-fried and then sold, although it can be stored for a long time, but in this way, the essence in the tea will be lost, polluted by copper odor, and the original taste has long been lost!"

After watching the fried tea bought by the servants, those aristocratic scholars just sneered and ordered the servants to throw away the tea leaves.

This kind of behavior made some aristocratic children and officials who were full of joy suddenly realize.

Exactly, how can this kind of spoiled tea get into their stomachs?

However, such people are only a minority, and have no influence on Jincha at this stage.

Chang'an City is the capital of the Great Tang Dynasty, full of officials and dignitaries, and countless wealthy businessmen.

Before some rich businessmen and dignitaries who were slow to hear the news came to their senses, the tea leaves in the five Jin tea shops had all been sold out, and they could only look at the rows of empty glass tea cabinets in the tea shop, lamenting.

Then, with a disappointed face, he walked to the opposite tea shop, drank a pot of tea, and pretended to be satisfied.

"My lord, in just two days, all the tea leaves in the four Jin tea shops in Chang'an City have been sold out!"

Cui Hongmo held an account book in his hand, and reported to Li Xuan in detail.

"You don't have stock?"

Li Xuan asked in surprise.

"My lord, the villain is going to test people's views on tea with [-] catties of tea, but those people are so crazy. By the time the villain reacts, the four shops have already sold out! "

Cui Hongmo looked helpless.

Those are all tea leaves!

The worst-packed and lowest-quality tea leaves cost [-] Wen for a tael, and [-] Wen for a catty.

And upwards, with the improvement of tea quality and packaging, there are still one or two eighty, one hundred, two hundred, five hundred, and consistent teas.

However, this was also bought cleanly.

If they didn't know that those tea customers were all serious businessmen and dignitaries, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde would have thought that other aristocratic families were also interested in this kind of business, and they wanted to take advantage of them.

"Ten thousand pounds?"

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and he came to his senses.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde ran over in such a hurry early in the morning that he didn't even have time to inquire about the situation in detail.

"Back to Your Majesty, five thousand catties of low-grade tea leaves, three thousand catties of medium-grade tea leaves, and two thousand catties of high-grade and top-grade tea leaves, a total of ten thousand catties of tea leaves!"

Cui Hongmo looked proud.

"How much did these teas sell for?"

Li Xuan was shocked in his heart, the tea is really welcome wherever it is.

However, he asked calmly.

When they heard Li Xuan's question, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde both had a hint of complacency on their faces.

"Your Majesty, we sold a total of [-] coins!"

"hiss……"

Immediately, Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and the others subconsciously took a breath.

Seeing this, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde showed a trace of reserve in their eyes, "Your Majesty, this is just the beginning, and the tea fields and tea-frying workshops we have mastered are still a bit small. Moreover, there are still many merchants and dignitaries who have not yet understood Your Majesty. The beauty of this fried tea.

After a few months, the villain can make only Chang'an City, Jin tea shops can earn millions of dollars, plus the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding barbarian countries, the villain guarantees that within a year, Jin tea shops can earn millions of dollars. A tea shop can earn tens of millions! "

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help opening their mouths, staring at the two of them in a daze.

In my mind, I was full of 1000 million yuan!

Li Xuan was also taken aback, but soon came back to his senses.

After all, only 1000 million guan, he can only get 100 million guan.

As for industries such as glass, sofas, and salt, he can get millions of dollars a year.

As for his Jinwang's salary plus those messy benefits, it seems to be worth hundreds of millions.

After all, he seems to be quite rich!

Thinking about it, Li Xuan looked at Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo, his eyes gradually returned to normal, even a little disgusted.

With such a hot tea business, it can earn tens of millions of dollars a year!

Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo, who were enjoying the eyes of Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others, froze.

Immediately, with a quick sneer, he cupped his hands at Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if 1000 million coins is a bit small?"

"naturally!"

Li Xuan snorted softly, "How many people in the Tang Dynasty would like to drink this kind of fried tea?"

"Back to the king, suitable for men, women and children!"

Zheng Mingde said with a serious face.

"So, are you planning to earn 1000 million guan?"

Li Xuandao: "You can see that selling tea is not just about selling tea leaves!"

Ok?

Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo were taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"I'm so stupid, please ask the king to give me a little bit!"

"The ones in the city are the tea shops and the tea shop sheds beside the cement road, the two of you should know about it!" Li Xuandao.

"Go back to the king, I will know for sure!"

Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo hurriedly replied.

"In every city, there are more than ten teahouses, are there many?"
