Tea workshop?
When Zhao Jun said this, everyone around him couldn't help but ask questions.
"Does this tea refer to tea leaves?"
Xiao He asked a question.
Zhao Jun nodded.
"But what is tea made for? As far as I know, tea leaves are generally used for cooking, and a small amount may have some medicinal value."
"It seems there are no other options, and this type of tea isn't very popular for cooking."
Xiao He explained with doubt.
But he couldn't help but think, if it was made by an adult, then does tea have any other uses?
"We have quite a few wild tea trees in Shu County, but no one likes to eat them, so they are basically left to fend for themselves."
Lu Jing was also a little confused.
People nowadays know very little about tea, something she discovered when she was making milk tea in the palace.
Zhao Jun shook his head and then explained to them the functions of tea.
"Of course, tea is not just for cooking. In fact, the most important thing about tea is that it is a beverage. When processed tea leaves are brewed with boiling water, they have a very refreshing aroma."
"The most important thing is that drinking tea in moderation can cure diseases and even prevent cardiovascular disease."
She explained it in detail.
She had the idea of promoting tea drinking a long time ago, and Shu County happened to be a province suitable for tea growth.
So before coming here, she had the idea of setting up a tea-making workshop.
"I see. I've heard that some tea leaves have medicinal value, but I didn't know they're not meant to be eaten but to be drunk."
Xiao He suddenly realized that he could indeed learn a lot of different knowledge from Lord Zhao.
"Then why are you hesitating now, sir?"
Now that we know the original idea, it’s time to find out the reason.
"My previous idea was just a prototype, and now it seems a bit naive."
"The first step in making tea is to plant tea trees, which is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
"Also, I've noticed that every household in Shunan County, including other counties in Shu Commandery, already has a rabbit farming business. It might not be a good idea to allow everyone to make tea on a large scale at this time."
Zhao Jun patted his head and said.
Everyone fell silent, even Lu Jing, who had been very excited just now, began to think.
"Sir, what you said makes sense. The tea workshop is different from the workshop we opened before. It is extremely dependent on tea as a raw material. Moreover, the people of Shu County already have a stable and profitable livelihood. Whether the tea can be promoted and popularized is unknown, so their enthusiasm is inevitably dampened."
Xiao He was the first to step forward and start analyzing.
“But I don’t think it’s completely impossible.”
"How do you say that?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"That's right. I think we won't be running the tea workshop for now, but we can spread the method of drinking tea and let the people of Shu County think for themselves whether they want to do it."
Lu Jing listened for a while, but didn't quite understand how to do it specifically.
But Zhao Jun understood it immediately.
"I understand what you mean. This method is feasible."
She immediately agreed to Xiao He's plan.
Originally, tea picking and tea making could be done by families. I passed on the method and let the people choose whether to try it or not.
I believe that as long as there is a hint of business opportunity here, it will be seized by everyone.
"Sir, so what should we do now?"
Although Lu Jing didn't know what to do, he just had to follow Zhao Jun's instructions.
"Don't worry, everyone. Tomorrow, Lu Jing and I will go find some wild tea trees in Shu County, and then try making some at home. We'll give it to everyone to taste, and if there's no problem, we'll pass the method on to the people of Shu County."
"good!"
Lu Jing and Xiao He nodded in unison.
"But Xiao He, these things have nothing to do with you. Your next task is to build a good road."
"When the tea is ready, we will invite you to taste it."
Zhao Jun gave a sly smile.
Xiao He felt bad the moment he heard this.
Why can they all be lazy while working in the county, while he has to do the hard work of building roads?
There's nothing I can do about it. I was born to be a hard worker.
It was already late, and Zhao Jun, having resolved his worries, slept particularly soundly tonight.
The next morning, several people began to act according to their division of labor.
"Sir, you are going to pick tea with Lord Lu today, and I will follow Xiao He to help him."
Liu Bang shouted excitedly and quickly ran out the door following Xiao He.
Only Zhao Jun and Lu Jing were left standing in the yard, and they were about to set off.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I heard you're going to the mountains to look for wild tea trees today. I'm familiar with this. Let me accompany you."
County Magistrate Yu's enthusiastic voice came from behind.
Zhao Jun and Lu Jing were suddenly startled.
No wonder Liu Bang and the others ran so fast just now.
The remaining two people looked at each other and ran out the door quickly without paying attention to the shouting behind them.
"I won't bother you, County Magistrate Yu. I'm quite familiar with Shunan County. I'll take the adults there. You can stay and do your work."
Lu Jing ran and shouted to the back, not caring what County Magistrate Yu thought.
In short, the two of them disappeared quickly.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the noisy County Magistrate Yu.
If he nags me all day long today, I will definitely be annoyed to death.
"Alright, sir, I'll take you to find wild tea trees. There are quite a few tea trees in Shunan, and no one eats them. There are quite a few tea trees in Nanshan, the last place County Magistrate Yu took us yesterday."
