After becoming a big farmer

Before Zhou Shu introduced the new tea, she first invited some friendly merchants and shopkeepers who bought tea to the place rented from the tea shop, and held a new tea first-tasting meeting.

This is also suggested by Qi Wangwang, saying: "This is called a new product release conference. It is necessary to let some people know the advantages of the new tea and make a name for it, so that it will be easier to attract the attention of ordinary people."

This point is the same as when Zhou Shu invited Li Yuanwai and shopkeeper Xu to come to the tea shop to drink new tea, but this time it is for people who have cooperated with the Zhou family, the scale is larger, and the success or failure of the new tea depends on it.

Based on the success of "Chuting Guliang Tea", many invited tea merchants had certain expectations for this new tea, especially the word "red" that made them ponder for a long time.At present, none of the famous teas is named after the word "red", because this word means prosperity on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is easy to associate with bad things.

So with this curiosity, many tea merchants were invited to the teahouse attached to the tea shop.

This teahouse is located behind the main building of the tea shop. It is a place where the tea shop usually invites tea merchants to hold meetings and handle affairs. It also has a large space for people to order tea and fight tea.

The news that Zhou Shu was going to launch new tea here had spread since she was looking for a place to rent from a tea shop, and the Wu family naturally knew about it immediately.

Wu Xiaozong hurriedly went to find out what kind of new tea came out of the Zhou family, but except for the tight-lipped people of the Zhou family, everyone else knew nothing about it. They only knew that the Zhou family named the new tea "Zhou Shi Chu Ting Hong" and "Zhou Shi Chu Ting Hong". "Zhou Shuchuting Guliang Tea" is not the same kind of tea.

Wu Tonggao, the son of Wu Xiaozong, went to Chuting Township to inquire, and it took a lot of effort to find out from a tea maker in the Zhou family that Zhou Shu seemed to have figured out a new method of making tea. The tea is different.

When Wu Tonggao heard this, he hurried back to report to Wu Xiaozong, and the father and son discussed it.At first, Wu Tonggao thought that the tea soup of the Zhou family’s new tea was red, but they had never heard that the tea soup with tea in the whole world was red. Worry too much.

However, Wu Xiaozong believed that Zhou Shu should not be underestimated. Since she was able to make new tea and even openly invite tea merchants to taste it, she must be fully prepared.If not, the Zhou family should act in a low-key way like they figured out a new tea last year, and then catch them by surprise.

Although the Zhou family did not invite the Wu family, everyone knows that the Wu family has a lot of power in the tea shop. The Zhou family chose to use the tea shop's territory, which shows that there is no need to let the Wu family know, and they have enough confidence to ensure that even if the Wu family knows about the new tea The secret to making tea cannot be stolen either.

This is not only a crisis for the Wu family, but also a crisis for the entire Xinzhou tea shop. They should join forces to deal with the Zhou family and discredit the Zhou family's new tea!

So on the day when the new tea was released, Wu Xiaozong and his son came uninvited, and they said with a smile: "Passing by the tea shop, I heard that Mrs. Zhou is inviting people to have tea, so I came here curiously to say hello to everyone. Do you mind?"

Zhou Shu had a decent smile on his face, and said, "Of course I don't mind, I'll ask someone to add a seat for Wu Yuanwai."

The seats in the teahouse are all arranged, even Wu Xiaozong can't find a seat to sit down casually, if the person who should be seated arrives and doesn't like his rudeness, wouldn't he want to offend more people?So he had no choice but to sit in the back seat with Wu Tonggao.

Even so, he greeted other tea merchants with a smile on his face. Although he didn't say anything rude, the words he used to win over unfamiliar tea merchants, complain about tea merchants who had cooperation with them, and threaten small tea merchants The people present are all smart, so they can hear it naturally.

Zhou Shu didn't stop him, but Qi Wangwang, who took the time to come over, happened to meet him, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Wu, does the Wu family have new tea to release today?"

Wu Xiaozong's expression froze, he smiled and said, "No."

"Oh, I thought it was the Wu family who was going to launch new tea today! I almost thought I had forgotten the date. But how could I forget the day when my wife will launch new tea!" Qi Wangwang said proudly.

Someone laughed and echoed, "Qi Silang is right!"

Wu Xiaozong heard that Qi Wangwang was mocking him for being anti-customer, so he had to go back to his seat and sit down in resentment, thinking about how to criticize him later, so as to embarrass the Zhou family!

The people invited by the Zhou family soon arrived one after another, and everyone found that not only the tea merchants and shopkeepers related to tea came, but also Qi Sanlang, Chen Jianjiao, Zhang Fenglai and other representatives of the rich and famous families. It can be said that the reputation of the Zhou family is getting wider and wider.

It was soon discovered that although Yuanwai Zhou had arrived, it was Zhou Shu who was in charge.They had long heard that Zhou Yuanwai didn't seem to have any plans to adopt an heir, but wanted to pass on all the Zhou family business to his daughter.Although they laughed at Yuanwai Zhou in private, they were also curious about whether Qi Wangwang really gave his child the surname Zhou?Are you not interested in the wealth of the Zhou family?

Thinking of Qi Wangwang's move, which is devoted to raising pigs, they felt that according to Qi Wangwang's temperament, it might be possible to let the child's surname be Zhou.

Regardless of how wild and wild their thoughts were in their minds, Zhou Shu followed the plan and had someone present a serving of unbrewed tea to all the guests present.

When everyone saw the handful of black loose tea in front of them, they whispered among themselves: "Is this tea old tea? Or moldy? How could it be this color?"

"Yes, is this the so-called new tea?"

"Could it be spiced? But it wouldn't be this color after adding spices!"

At this time, someone said in amazement: "Wait a minute, this tea is so fragrant, it doesn't smell musty at all!"

Some of them were originally whispering because they were embarrassed to tell Zhou Shu that her tea was not good, but Wu Xiaozong didn't care about it. He laughed and asked loudly: "Miss Zhou, have you kept your tea for many years?" , shoddy, say it’s new tea?”

Zhou Shu looked around and took in everyone's expressions. She didn't get angry or anxious, but said slowly, "Mr. Wu was joking. The Zhou family has been in the business of tea for many years, but it's far less rich than the Wu family. Tea that is more than one year old can be backlogged at the bottom of the warehouse."

Her move was to advance by retreating. She not only refuted Wu Xiaozong, but also mocked Wu Xiaozong's act of selling old tea, which is really wonderful.

Someone in a hurry asked, "Then why is the tea black?"

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, but did not speak, but asked someone to bring up the prepared teapot and teacup, and then brewed new tea on the spot.This set of procedures is somewhat familiar to everyone. After all, although ordering tea is the most popular nowadays, making tea is also a popular trend. More and more teahouses rely on making tea to make money.

Hot boiling water is poured on the blackened tea stem, and then under the ironing of the hot water, the string-shaped tea stem is quickly stretched out, and the color of the tea is gradually revealed.At this time, the maidservant who made tea covered the lid of the teapot to block everyone's sight.

"I'm not mistaken, I seem to have seen the tea soup turn red just now." Someone asked doubtfully.

"Isn't it yellow?"

"I saw it too, it's red."

They hadn't discussed for a long time before the maid poured out the tea soup, and a burst of hot air rushed into the nostrils along with the rich aroma, which made people feel refreshed, and then the aroma quickly spread, filling every corner of the teahouse .

This aroma is different from the tea they usually smell, whether it is round tea with spices or loose tea, even the aroma of "Zhou's Chuting Guliang Tea" is obviously different from it.

In addition to the aroma of sugar in the aroma, the tea soup is bright red and clear. It does not have the tea bubble produced after a little tea, but is clear to the bottom.

"Everyone, please drink it while it's hot." Zhou Shu's voice brought them back to their senses. When they saw Zhou Shu drinking the tea, they subconsciously picked up the teacup and poured the unfamiliar tea soup into their mouths.

For a moment after the entrance, they tasted a bit of bitterness on the tip of their tongues, but before they frowned, a mellow and fresh taste quickly swept through the mouth, and the sweet taste slowly offset the previous bitterness, here It's time to return.

The unsatisfactory part of summer tea and autumn tea is that they have a strong bitter taste, but the reason why they can still be made into tea is the "sweetness", which allows people to still taste some sweetness after tasting.

The tea they are drinking now is undoubtedly the most recognizable tea they have ever seen in terms of "returning sweetness", and this alone is enough to make them change their previous unfavorable evaluation of this new tea.

They had countless questions they wanted to ask Zhou Shu, and they forgot the etiquette for a while, and everyone rushed to ask questions, but Wu Xiaozong and his son originally wanted to criticize, but after tasting the tea, they were stunned. After a long time, all the difficult words prepared earlier were overturned.

"No, if we let her succeed, we will never turn around!" Wu Xiaozong's mind was clear, and his eyes stared at Zhou Shu as if poisoned.

Not to mention them, even Zhou Yuanwai was slightly surprised, the taste of the tea he tried before was not as good as it is now, presumably Zhou Shu improved a lot after that.

Seeing that Qi Wangwang wasn't surprised at all, but rather complacent, he suddenly laughed in a low voice, he still didn't understand his daughter, if she wasn't fully prepared, how could she spend so much effort to launch this new tea?

Fortunately, he didn't give his daughter confidence, but Qi Wangwang did.

"The reason why we named it 'Chu Ting Hong' is also because the tea soup is bright red." Zhou Shu responded to everyone's questioning calmly.

Someone picked out the tea leaves from the teapot, and found that the originally black dried tea also turned red after soaking in hot water, and the bottom of the leaves was soft and thick, and it was a veritable "black tea".

Some people couldn't help asking how Zhou Shu made it, but Zhou Shu couldn't tell the truth.

After everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, Zhou Shu said, "This new tea is made from summer tea and autumn tea. Because of the new method of making tea, the dried tea and tea soup are different. Even the drinking method and taste of this tea are very different from ordinary tea."

Everyone heard Zhou Shu's implication. Indeed, according to the normal way of tasting, tea should be ordered first, but Zhou Shu served it in the way of brewing, which made them doubt whether the new tea could be used for tea fighting.

Zhou Shu also made it clear that if this tea is used for tea fighting, the result will definitely be unsatisfactory, and this tea is only suitable for brewing.

As soon as these words came out, several tea merchants lost half of their interest. It is undeniable that the tea tastes very delicious. Tea is the main thing, and the tea provided is also prepared for the rich who fight tea. This tea is not suitable for tea fighting, so there is no need for them to buy it.

Wu Xiaozong and others were delighted, and he said: "Forgive me, Miss Zhou's tea is good, but the tea she brews is only for low-class households. If you use such tea to cater to those low-class people, you will let the high-class households drink it." What do you guys think?"

Linking the brewed tea with status and class, even those who like this tea will not dare to buy it because of their status. Wu Xiaozong's move can be regarded as vicious.

Fortunately, Zhou Shu had made this kind of mental preparation at the beginning, so only a few of the guests she invited were tea shop owners who were engaged in the business of fighting tea, and most of them were small and medium-sized tea merchants who resell loose tea, and some of them sold bubble tea. The shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Wu Yuanwai's words are wrong. Nowadays, tea drinking is popular. Tea is not only eaten by wealthy families, but also many ordinary people can't live without tea. The rich can certainly afford expensive tea. , but how much good tea is really worth that price? The tea that most people drink is not good tea in our eyes, but if there are so many people, there will be more profits." Zhou Shu said.

She added, "It's the same way to make tea. It's predictable whether using some poor tea or using tea like mine is better or worse?"

Many people agreed, the shopkeepers of these teahouses know best how much money can be earned by making tea.If you use this new tea, the price may be more expensive, but you can definitely make money!

"Drinking tea in the future must be something to enjoy, not just for the sake of winning or losing. The way of ordering tea is too complicated, and it will be eliminated sooner or later." This is what Qi hoped to say to Zhou Shu, Zhou Shu It was still engraved in their minds, but they didn't tell these people directly. After all, most of them believed that such an elegant thing as ordering tea would always exist in the upper class.

The press conference of the new tea soon came to an end amidst the discussion among the crowd. Although only a small number of tea merchants showed great interest and decided to cooperate with Zhou Shu in the next step, more tea merchants had the cheek to ask Zhou Shu for discussion. I asked for some tea and went back to ponder.

Zhou Shu was not stingy, and every tea merchant prepared a catty of new tea as a gift.

After they all left, Zhang Fenglai found Zhou Shu and said, "I'll buy five catties of Chu Ting Hong."

Zhou Shu had long heard Qi Wangwang say that Zhang Fenglai was very proud, and he might not accept it if he offered to give it away, but out of courtesy, she still said she would give it away.

Sure enough, Zhang Fenglai didn't accept it, but Qi Wangwang didn't know what he told him, so he accepted it, but said again: "I want to buy another five catties, is there any?"

Zhou Shu couldn't laugh or cry, and asked someone to prepare five catties of new tea for him.However, because Zhou Shu hadn't decided on the price, he finally sold it to him at a lower price than Guliang Tea.

Qi hoped to explain: "Old man Zhang likes to drink Guliang tea, but it is too complicated to order tea, so he just saw that this tea tastes good, just brewing it, so he made up his mind to buy so much. If old man Zhang I feel good after drinking it, and the Zhou family will have another loyal customer!"

Zhou Shu didn't prepare too much Chuting black tea this time, except for the tea leaves that were sent out and sold to Zhang Fenglai, there were only a few catties left.Chen Jianjiao asked her for some, and Qi Wangwang was still thinking about her nanny, so he naturally wanted to keep some, so the new tea soon disappeared.

When the people who took the tea back home and found it more delicious the more they drank it came back to find Zhou Shu, they found that the new tea was long gone. They immediately regretted that they hadn't asked Zhou Shu to buy more earlier.

Perhaps out of market considerations, more and more tea merchants turned to Zhou Shu to order "Zhou's Chu Ting Hong".Although it is not as sensational as "Zhou's Chuting Guliang Tea", it also gave Zhou Shu the confidence to continue making new teas.

-

After this day, Qi Wangwang and Zhou Shu lived in the house in Xinzhou City for a few days, mainly to visit and discuss new tea matters.

Chen Jianjiao also came here occasionally, and Mrs. Chen hadn't seen her for a long time, so she asked her to stay and have dinner together.During the dinner, Chen Jianjiao talked about Chutinghong, and said with great interest: "Sister, this Chutinghong is really delicious. After drinking it, my appetite improved, and my hands and feet didn't feel cold anymore. It's more effective than that medicine!"

Zhou Shu glanced at Qi Wangwang, knowing that it must be because this tea, like Guliang tea, was related to Qi Wangwang's auspiciousness. She had already guessed that the reason why she felt better after drinking these tea leaves was because It is because the green light spots improve the human body.

But she can't say these words clearly, and she can't make people think that drinking tea can cure diseases, so she said: "Tea can whet the appetite, but it is an exaggeration to say that it is more effective than medicine."

Qi Wangwang asked curiously, "Sister-in-law San, why do you need to drink medicine?"

Zhou Shu and Chen Jianjiao were taken aback. The former secretly regretted that he hadn't discovered that Chen Jianjiao's body might be in trouble earlier, while the latter didn't expect Qi Wangwang to care about him.

Among these people, even her elder brother never cared about why she took medicine, but it was Qi Wangwang who she had let go of long ago.

"That's right, what's wrong with your body?" Chen quickly asked.

"I don't have any physical ailments, but I feel a little depressed and my appetite is not good, so I drink some medicinal soup to recuperate, and it's not a serious problem. Thank you, aunt, for worrying." Chen Jianjiao said.

"I'm in a bad mood, so I'll go to my sister's place for a while in the future." Zhou Shu couldn't ask Chen Jianjiao why he was in a bad mood in front of everyone, so he had to say this.

Chen Jianjiao agreed.

When she mentioned the new tea, Chen Zizai seemed to have found an entry point, and said with a smile: "The news that my cousin has figured out the new tea is a secret, and even I only found out about it not long ago."

"As a father, I only know it later!" Zhou Yuanwai also "complained", but he did a good job of dispelling Zhou Shu's suspicion of excluding Chen Zizai, an outsider. Why tell him a cousin?

Chen Zi was slightly embarrassed on his face.

Qi Wangwang glanced at him unhappy, and then announced loudly: "Father, mother, I want to tell you a big news!"

The two pricked up their ears, thinking that she was going to announce the news of Zhou Shu's happiness, but in the end she said: "I named myself Wang Shu!"

"Pfft—" Zhou Yuanwai and Mrs. Chen spat out a mouthful of tea soup.

The author has something to say: Zhou Yuanwai: Do you want to show your affection like this?

Chen: Sour!

Chen Zizai: Citric acid!

Chen Jianjiao: ...
