Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

During this period, Lu Zhuocheng introduced another business, and Zhao Zhen met in the shop in front of the house without going out. After Zhao Zhen saw it, he made a decision on the spot.

Although it is not something in short supply, it is not easy to buy in bulk. This batch of tea leaves came from the land of Wuyue, and the price is 220 Wen per catty. This batch of tea leaves totaled 4,000 kilograms, and together with the commission, it cost Zhao Zhen 890 guan.

The shopkeeper's surname is Lu, and he is called Lu Linhe. He claims that the ancestor of the family obtained half a volume of the "Tea Classic" as a guide, and then led the Lu family to embark on the road of growing, making and selling tea. There is a tea garden of 300 square meters in the family. A moment.

It was also Lu Zhuocheng's luck that he went to Dongshi today to wander around and happened to meet Lu Linhe who had just arrived in Gao Kingdom. He saw Lu Linhe selling tea and came up to talk.

Lu Zhuocheng said: "The shopkeeper's name is Lu Zhuocheng, a native of this county. I wonder what the shopkeeper's name is?"

Lu Linhe made an introduction, took out tea leaves, invited Lu Zhuocheng to sit down, and brewed a pot. After drinking tea, Lu Linhe asked, "Lu Yalang, how do you like my tea?"

Lu Zhuocheng said: "Put it into a cup and brew it with mist on top. The color of the soup will be clear and slightly yellow. I wonder how much it will cost?"

Lu Linhe said: "The actual price is 250 Wen per pound."

Lu Zhuocheng asked again: "How many do you have here? If you buy them in large quantities, what is the price?"

After hearing this, Lu Linhe looked much more solemn, "I still have a little over 4,000 kilograms left here. Based on 4,000 kilograms, if a big customer takes over, it will actually cost 220 yuan. Brother's commission is one hundred and two."

After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng took Lu Linhe directly to Zhao Zhen. As expected by Lu Zhuocheng, Zhao Zhen ate it in one bite. Lu Zhuocheng took commission from both sides of this business and made a small profit of 30 yuan. Naturally, his face became more and more smiling.

Lu Linhe was very happy to see that the transaction was completed. He took five kilograms of fine tea from the caravan and gave it to Zhao Zhen, saying, "Executive member Zhao, this is [Huangshan Maofeng] carefully selected by my family."

"This tea is made during the Grain Rain period during the Qingming Festival. It is made by selecting the fat and tender buds of large-leaf species from Huangshan Mountain and frying them. It is slightly curly in shape, like a bird's tongue, green with yellowish tints, silver hair exposed, and golden fish. Ye. Mr. Zhao, look outside."

As he spoke, Lu Linhe took out a small handful of tea leaves, put it in the palm of his hand, showed it to Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng, and said: "This top-notch tea leaves, one bud and one leaf, are dried, rolled, and baked. The buds have sharp peaks and awns, and the fresh leaves are collected from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, hence the name "Huangshan Maofeng".

As he spoke, he brewed a pot of hot water, poured it into the cup, and said: "This tea is clear and slightly yellow in color, with yellow-green leaves at the bottom. When you smell it, the aroma is like orchid, the flavor is deep, and the taste is mellow. ”

Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng picked up the cups and put them under their noses. Just as Lu Linhe said, the tea was fragrant.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, I wonder how the tea production is? Is there anyone who can join the ranks?"

Lu Linhe didn't hide anything, saying: "This ordinary tea can only produce 30 kilograms of tea a year, and the yield of high-quality bud tea is even less. As for advanced tea, I won't lie. I do have several trees that are more than a hundred years old. The tea tree grows on the top of the mountain where the clouds are shrouded. It is considered to be an advanced one. One tea tree only produces five kilograms of tea per year, and a kilogram of tea is sold for 300 guan. "

"I went north this time and brought 10 kilograms with me. I only had one kilogram left and the rest was sold along the way. If you want it, I'll get it."

Seeing Zhao Zhen nod, Lu Linhe went to get another exquisite porcelain jar, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took it and opened the lid, and a scent of tea came to his face. Look carefully.

Perhaps Zhao Zhen used it too much, and this time he got results all at once in the main world.

[100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng]: (spiritual object, first level, produced from Huangshan tea trees that have been carefully cultivated for hundreds of years)

Effect 1: Detoxification (Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs and encountered seventy-two poisons in one day, and got tea to detoxify them.)

Effect 2: Those who drink tea continuously for one month and have less than 30 energy will get +1 energy.

After looking at it, Zhao Zhen immediately took out 300 guan of money to buy it, and said to Lu Linhe: "Shopkeeper Lu, if there is a lot of this tea, I would like to buy more."

Lu Linhe said: "Exceptor Zhao, I do still have some at home this year. The journey back and forth is long, so I won't go out again this year. I don't know how much my brother wants. Next spring, the caravan will go north to sell tea."

Zhao Zhen said: "Shopkeeper Lu, my brothers need at least ten kilograms for those who are advanced, and four thousand kilograms for those who are not."

Lu Linhe looked happy after hearing this. After all, he had found another big customer. Lu Zhuocheng was also very happy. As Zhao Zhen's fan, Lu Zhuocheng could draw commissions three times from the same person.

Lu Linhe said: "If it is settled, I will come again next year. They will all be new tea during the Qingming Festival. Even the ordinary tea will be better than the current batch."

After deciding to buy tea, Zhao Zhen sighed: "Shopkeeper Lu, growing tea is more profitable than growing grain. Unfortunately, there are no tea seeds in Gao State."

Lu Linhe said: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that there are tea species in Qi and Ju. I have never been to Ju. I only mentioned that in Qi, there is Jimo County. There is a fairy mountain on the seaside, shrouded in a sea of ​​fog, called Mount Laoshan. There is a Taoist temple in Shangqing Palace. The Taoist monks from the temple visited Huangshan and brought back tea species. After many years of cultivation, the tea species of "Southern Tea and Northern Tea" was finally formed."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen suddenly thought about it and asked, "Shopkeeper Lu, is it possible to grow tea in Gaoguo?"

Lu Linhe hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I really don't know about this. I heard from the Taoist priest of Shangqing Palace that it took a long time to cultivate Laoshan tea from the beginning. The first time 5,000 tea trees were introduced, none of them survived. Afterwards, 50,000 more were introduced, and only 11 survived. After years of cultivation, it finally stabilized."

"If you want to plant it, Laoshan tea is easier to survive here, but I can't guarantee whether it can survive."

"Growing tea is not easy, and making tea is even more complicated. Stir-frying, baking, sun-drying, and steaming are all different."

"If you are interested in planting, I will bring some tea seeds to you next time."

After that, Lu Linhe talked about the matters of growing and making tea again. It was not because Lu Linhe was generous, but because he had read the geography of Gao State and didn't think tea could be grown here. I have been to Laoshan and know that Laoshan is close to the sea and is often foggy like Huangshan. Gao State does not have such an environment.

Zhao Zhen was very happy to hear Lu Linhe's words and asked someone to bring ten kilograms of Geng cakes to Lu Linhe. After eating, Lu Linhe said to Zhao Zhen: "Sir, how much do you sell this Geng cake?"

Zhao Zhen said: "This Geng cake is three guan per jin. There are only 4,000 jins in the store. Half of it has been sold in the past few days."

Lu Linhe did not bargain and said: "Sir, I want the rest."

Zhao Zhen heard it and said: "Manager Lu, you also know that children and women love sweets. Half of my business in this small shop relies on Geng cakes to attract business. I will sell you at most one thousand kilograms."

Lu Linhe listened, nodded, and asked the clerk to get the silver. Not only did he get back the 1,180 guan of money he spent, but Lu Linhe also found Zhao Zhen 1,820 guan of money.

The deal was done, Lu Linhe agreed with Zhao Zhen on a date and stood up to say goodbye.

Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng stood up to see him off.

When Lu Linhe and his men drove the carriage away, the two returned to the shop and heard Lu Zhuocheng say, "Zhao Erlang, do you really want to plant tea trees?"

Zhao Zhen said, "From what Lu Linhe said, tea trees are planted on hillsides and do not require fertile fields. The yield is high, and Green Willow Village and my fantasy world are both hills, so I naturally want to give it a try."

Then he glanced at Lu Zhuocheng and said, "Lu Sanlang, from what Lu Linhe said, there are tree species in Laoshan, do you dare to buy them?"

Lu Zhuocheng listened and replied, " What's the big deal? How many tea seedlings does Mr. Zhao want? I will buy them tomorrow and send them to you. That way, they can be planted in late autumn. "

Zhao Zhen said, "Lu Linhe said that one guan is worth ten seedlings. I will pay 550 guan. How about asking Sanlang to buy 5,000 and send them to you?"

Lu Zhuocheng said, "Okay, I will ride a fast horse to Jimo County to buy them tomorrow and return in five days at most. Zhao Erlang, you just wait for my good news at home."

Zhao Zhen paid the principal and remuneration. After receiving it, Lu Zhuocheng excitedly began to arrange tomorrow's schedule. Zhao Zhen saw it, but did not disturb him. He took the can of [Hundred Years Huangshan Maofeng] and returned to the courtyard.
