Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 772 Opening a Tea Shop
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and there is plenty of rain during this period, so everyone planted the rice after the Qingming Festival.
At first glance, the tea leaves on Qingfeng Mountain are lush green. Probably because they are irrigated by the spiritual spring water, the tea leaves grow very fast.
It is time to pick spring tea. The tea leaves are tender at this time. Shen Ping spread the word and recruited tea pickers, paying them 25 cents a day and providing them with one meal.
The spring ploughing was over and everyone was now free. When they saw Shen Ping recruiting tea pickers and tea roasters, they came to sign up one after another.
On the first day, 100 workers were recruited, and dozens of tea roasters were also recruited. Shen Ping asked Zhang Tiezhu to be in charge of recruiting tea roasters. Tea roasting is the most critical factor in determining the quality of tea.
Zhang Tiezhu is an expert in tea frying, so it is best to let him be responsible for recruiting tea frying masters. Almost all the tea frying masters recruited are of the older generation.
These tea pickers have a special bamboo basket tied around their waists. They open their hands to put the picked tea leaves into the special basket around their waists.
The picking of tea leaves is very particular. Only the tenderest part of the tip of the leaf is picked, which is about three leaves. In half a day, 100 people only picked more than 100 kilograms.
Shen Ping asked Dachun to send someone to deliver the picked tea leaves back to the tea roasting master as soon as possible.
Shen Ping leveled a piece of land at the back door of her house, which is on the outskirts of Qingfeng Mountain, built a shed, set up dozens of large pots, and started roasting tea.
These tea-roasting masters are all experts in tea-roasting. The tea leaves they bring back must first be withered before they are roasted.
Then rub it again, and repeat it at least three times. In this way, the tea leaves can have a better tea fragrance.
Shen Ping packed the freshly made tea into oil paper bags and sealed them, and gave two kilograms of them for free to every restaurant she cooperated with.
The restaurant owners were very happy. After all, the tea was free, and if it tasted good, it would attract more customers to the restaurant.
It's mutually beneficial, so why not do it? And it can also save Shen Ping's face.
Shen Ping not only gave the tea to the restaurant for free, but also sent tea to the largest teahouse in the area, Chaxiangju.
This Chaxiangju mainly serves tea, snacks and music. It is elegantly decorated and is a place frequented by dignitaries.
However, because he had never cooperated with them before, the owner of Chaxiangju, Niu, was still a little resistant.
I don't think this free thing can be that good. It would not be worth it if it damages the teahouse's signboard.
Of course Shen Ping knew what Shopkeeper Niu was worried about, so she asked him to make a pot of tea in front of her so that she could try it first.
Shopkeeper Niu thought about it and realized that he had to try it to know if it was good or not. As soon as he poured it out, he smelled a scent of tea. Shopkeeper Niu's eyes lit up: "This is the new tea of that year."
"Exactly!"
Shen Ping nodded and gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Shopkeeper Niu is really a connoisseur of goods. I admire him~"
Don’t wash the tea with the first brew. For the second brew, cover the lid for a few minutes. When you open it again, a rich and refreshing tea aroma will hit your nose.
The tea was clear with a hint of green. When Shopkeeper Niu saw the quality of the tea, he already had the answer in his mind before he even drank it.
Shopkeeper Niu picked up the teacup and sniffed it. The fragrance of the tea was so strong that it was refreshing. He took a sip and tasted it carefully. The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. It was indeed new tea, and of good quality.
The sweet taste instantly quenches your thirst, making you want to drink more. And the key to this tea is that the fragrance of the tea is still so strong after the third and fourth infusions.
Shopkeeper Niu was ecstatic, this was a good thing!
Shopkeeper Niu hadn't spoken yet, but Shen Ping's eyes could see the slightest expression on his face, and the corners of Shen Ping's mouth curled up. She estimated that Shopkeeper Niu would place an order directly.
"Cough cough~"
Shopkeeper Niu put down the teacup and nodded: "This tea is not bad. How about this, I don't want to take advantage of you, Madam Shen, just give me a price, how much is your tea per pound?"
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Boss Niu, how about I give you two kilograms to test the market first?"
Shopkeeper Niu raised his hand to stop her from talking: "No need, this tea is really good. I have never tasted tea of such good quality, and this tea has a special fragrance!"
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Niu is really a tea connoisseur. To be honest, I am not bragging, this kind of tea is unique and only available here.
It's rare to meet someone who knows tea, so let me give you a discount on this tea. The original price is thirty taels per catty, but now I'll give you 28 taels per catty~"
"Hmm~"
Shopkeeper Niu nodded. He was not surprised by Shen Ping's offer. Good tea is not cheap at all. It takes four or five kilograms of fresh leaves to make one kilogram of dry tea.
Moreover, the production process is complicated and requires great care. Any carelessness during the production process will affect the quality of the entire tea.
His Tea House often receives dignitaries, who do not care about the price of the tea, but only care about its quality and taste.
It is no exaggeration to say that some customers even come here just for the tea. Therefore, if a teahouse has a good tea, it is also the treasure of the store.
Seeing that Madam Shen could give away such good tea for free, Shopkeeper Niu could imagine that her tea must have just been launched on the market, so he had to get it before other teahouses did.
Shopkeeper Liu said cheerfully, "Okay, give me five pounds. If the customer feedback is good, I will continue to look for you."
"That!"
Shen Ping also smiled: "But I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Niu to go to Kaoshan Village when the time comes. My tea shop hasn't opened yet~"
"it is good!"
Next, the two men exchanged money and goods, 28 taels of silver per catty, and five catties was 140 taels of silver.
After coming out of Chaxiangju, Shen Ping began to change her mind. She had to take over a small shop and open a tea shop. No one would go to Kaoshan Village just for a few kilograms of tea.
If you want to do it, just do it. Shen Ping hurried to the dental clinic, found Mrs. Wu, and told her her needs.
As soon as Mrs. Wu heard what Shen Ping said, she laughed and said, "Mrs. Shen, you are really lucky. You can always come across good things every time you come here.
So, I happened to have such a shop on hand. The shop was not big, but the location was good and the flow of people was very busy. The previous owner was in the jade business and he made a lot of money.
It's just that they want to expand their business now, so they put it up for sale. How about I take you to have a look?"
What Grandma Wu said was exactly what Shen Ping wanted. When Shen Ping saw the shop for the first time, she fell in love with it at first sight.
The shop is not big, only about ten square meters, and it is empty with nothing in it.
Next to the shop is a jade garment shop, and not far away are restaurants and teahouses. Basically, the customers who come to this street are not poor, so it is definitely possible to open a tea shop here.
Finally, Shen Ping bought the small shop for 50 taels of silver.
Mrs. Wu was very happy. Every time she met Madam Shen, she would never hesitate to act. It would be great if she could meet more customers like her.
