Chapter 100 Four Seasons Tea

Jiang Mixia was helpless when she saw this and could only ask her mother to make two meals of braised pork.

And use this to comfort Song Jingyun.

Eating braised pork means eating pork is legitimate, right?

Song Jingyun felt that there was some truth in this. After eating two meals of braised pork, the pigs in the backyard didn't seem to be so resentful anymore.

Jiang Mixia heaved a sigh of relief and instructed the bamboo weaving workshop to hurry up and make the cattail leaf fans.

But before the workshop could weave enough bamboo fans, Manager Zhou arrived at Jiangjia Village.

The purpose of coming to Jiangjia Village is very clear, which is to discuss tea production and mass customization of tea cans with Jiang Mixia.

"I went back to the capital city and told my master about Madam Jiang's proposal to make tea. When my master heard this, he didn't hesitate at all. He just said that Madam Jiang's idea was good and asked me to start working on it right away."

Manager Zhou's face was full of excitement. "I also talked about tea with my master for a while. The more I talked, the more I felt that this business could be done. So I quickly came to discuss the tea cans with Madam Jiang in detail."

"My master means that if we want to make it outstanding, this tea can must be outstanding. I wonder if there are any designs on the tea cans in our porcelain kiln that we would like to see?"

Jiang Mixia had already made preparations, and Zhu Yongwu followed her suggestion and made some samples according to the drawings, and then took them out to show Manager Zhou.

"What I mean is that the tea cans are made in four different colors and patterns, because the taste of tea produced in spring, summer, autumn and winter is slightly different, and it can also show that the tea garden is careful and attentive when making tea."

"This is a sample fired in the porcelain kiln. Would you like to take a look, Steward Zhou?"

"Spring is cinnamon pink with orchids as the pattern, summer is sky blue with lotus as the pattern, autumn is beige with chrysanthemum as the pattern, winter is light blue with red plum as the pattern."

Jiang Mixia placed the tea can on the table.

The four tea cans are neatly arranged with slightly different colors and patterns, each representing the typical colors and flowers of the four seasons. It is a great visual enjoyment.

Manager Zhou looked the four jars up and down and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Madam Jiang is really thoughtful. It is also a great gimmick to classify the teas of the four seasons."

Drinking tea, besides quenching thirst, also involves a certain degree of pretentiousness. The more meticulous and elaborate it is, the more things there are to say about it, and the more people will approve of it.

Doing so can make this originally ordinary tea much more colorful and open up certain sales channels for this tea.

"In addition, the lid of this tea can also has a porcelain lid on the outside and a bamboo lid on the inside. This way, it can be completely sealed to ensure that the tea leaves are not damp and can also allow the tea leaves to be tainted with some of the fragrance of bamboo."

Jiang Mixia said, "But if it's like this, the cost of this tea can will be much higher."

Because when making the base of the porcelain jar and the porcelain lid, the size must be matched, and the production must be very delicate. When firing, the glaze color must be uniform, and the patterned paint on the porcelain jar must be painted, and a bamboo or wooden lid must be made according to the size of the jar mouth...

After all this hard work, the price of a tea can alone at the tea garden is nearly three hundred coins.

"No problem." Manager Zhou didn't care. "As I said before, as long as the tea is well-known and the products can be sold, the money from the tea can will be no problem."

Originally, if a pound of tea was sold to a tea shop in the capital, it would only be worth more than two hundred coins per pound. However, if you roast and ferment the tea yourself, and use a tea jar like this one, you can sell this pound of tea for more than one or two taels of silver. The profit is much greater than before.

Manager Zhou understood the calculation clearly and only discussed the quantity of the first batch of tea cans with Jiang Mixia.

After all, it was the first time to sell this tea, so it was better to have less rather than more at the beginning. After Manager Zhou and Jiang Mixia discussed it, they decided on a quantity of 120 tea cans.

It was summer, the time when summer tea was produced, so only ninety jars of summer tea were fired, and the remaining three kinds, ten each, were only used for display.

After discussing the tea cans, Manager Zhou went to the bamboo weaving workshop to take a look and ordered some bamboo baskets for picking tea and baskets for drying tea.

When Manager Zhou was about to say goodbye, Jiang Mixia took out a dozen bamboo fans and asked Manager Zhou to take them back.

The fans were light and looked delicate, so Manager Zhou did not hesitate to take them all and agreed that he would come to Jiangjia Village to pick up the goods in twenty days.

Jiang Mixia agreed readily.

Zhu Yongwu was instructed to speed up the production of tea cans, while Jiang Mixia was busy delivering the batch of teacups and teacups to Zhao Ji's shop. In addition, she was delivering bamboo fans to Zheng Ji's shop.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The quality of the teacups and teacups remained the same as before, so Manager Zhao bought all of them and also ordered some porcelain pillows, lotus bowls and other items.

Zheng Ji also highly recognized the bamboo fans and immediately placed a large order for 200 fans.

In addition to normal sales in the shops in the county, it is more important to send some to the provincial capital to see how the sales are.

Jiang Mixia naturally accepted such an order.

After discussing the matter, Shopkeeper Sun sent Jiang Mixia out. "Madam Jiang is very thoughtful. This thing is really amazing. But I was also wondering, since you can weave such a thin fan, can you also make a bamboo folding fan?"

"Madam Jiang knows that the master's family is also engaged in the shipping business. The dock is always crowded with people, many of whom are either transporting goods or traveling. If you go out, it would be best to take a fan. However, paper folding fans are easy to hold but also easy to damage. Although this bamboo fan is light, it is so big after all. It is not easy to put in a bag, and you have to remember to hold it in your hand, which is really inconvenient."

"It would be great if there was a fan that folds like a folding fan but is made of bamboo and is strong and durable. I'm afraid such a fan would sell better."

Shopkeeper Sun smacked his lips, feeling a little embarrassed. "But how should I put it? Some things cannot be achieved at the same time. I just thought so, but I am not sure I can make it up..."

If these things cannot be made up, then what he just said would be a bit unreasonable.

Jiang Mixia pursed her lips and smiled, "To be honest, Shopkeeper Sun, I've been thinking about this as well. It's not so bad in the north, as the heat lasts for a short time. In the south, the summer lasts for a long time, and we use fans a lot. If we can have a fan that is easy to carry and lightweight, it would be absolutely great."
