The next day, in the public housing.
Liu Eryi had already delivered the stolen tea.
Several ministers gathered around a pot of tea on the table and marveled at it.
"Fifty taels is really too expensive, but this little bottle looks quite exquisite! It must be a good thing!"
"Yes, I can already smell the fragrance of tea before it's even brewed."
"It's good, but the amount is too little. I can't drink it for a few days!"
Liu Er was standing outside the crowd, hesitating. When he saw that the others had finished chatting, he quickly approached Li Yansong and said cautiously, "Mr. Li...this tea didn't cost fifty taels, but seventy taels. Hehe, I borrowed twenty taels from someone to buy it."
"When I went there early in the morning, there was already a long line outside and they were all sold out. I bought this from someone else... Look..."
Li Yansong raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Seventy taels! Oh my God! The tea in our teahouse is only three taels of silver per pound!"
"Hurry up and make some. I'm inviting you all to tea today. Let's have some together!"
Liu Er stood there with his face seeming a little red.
Li Yansong slapped his head and laughed, "I forgot, here are twenty-one taels of silver, take it and make some tea. Remember to use plain water and don't add anything else!"
Seeing the silver coming back, Liu Er smiled happily and ran to make tea.
After a while, Liu Er came back with a pot of tea.
Everyone rushed over.
Zhang Dongxiang asked curiously, "Hey! Why is it tasteless? Liu Er! Did you buy a fake?"
Then he simply opened the lid of the pot, and three leaves floated pitifully inside.
"You are kidding me! You can't make tea with just three slices!"
Liu Erhan smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, this tea is too expensive. I'm afraid I won't be able to brew it well and it will be wasted!"
Zhang Dongxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He picked up the teapot and threw a handful of tea into the water.
The ministers stopped their work and looked at the teapot intently.
As the steeping time increases, the tea aroma begins to waft out of the teapot.
Everyone couldn't wait any longer, so Zhang Dongxiang picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each person.
He said with great energy: "Everyone! Please come in. I have been looking forward to this Heavenly Fairy Tea for a long time!"
Li Yansong picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea carefully. The hot steam kept steaming his face. Due to the psychological effect, he felt more comfortable before he even drank the tea.
"Hmm... this is the taste. Your Majesty drank this tea yesterday!"
"The fragrance is light and elegant, and the smell lasts long!"
After blowing twice, Li Yansong took a sip carefully.
The tea fragrance slowly seeps from the nose to the throat, and then a warm feeling falls into the stomach.
Li Yansong breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Ordinary tea always has various condiments added to it, making the taste strong and complex, which Li Yansong doesn't like.
Roasting tea leaves brings out the original flavor of the tea, providing a unique experience!
It's completely different from tea! And a hundred times better than drinking water!
Wonderful! It is really wonderful!
Li Yansong drank the tea sip by sip and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is indeed good, but it is indeed too expensive. I am afraid that one tael of tea leaves will not last him more than seven days.
Seeing that everyone else was enjoying their tea, Li Yansong couldn't help but ask Zhang Dongxiang, "Mr. Zhang, how is it?"
Zhang Dongxiang smacked his lips and wondered, "It's OK, but a little bland. If I add some jujube, green onion and ginger, the taste will be richer! I don't think it's that amazing!"
“..........”
Li Yansong was speechless for a moment
Zheng Qiao had a serious expression on his face and sipped his tea in small sips.
Li Yansong saw it and said, "Mr. Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Qiao closed his eyes and took a sip, praising: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! There is such a magical tea in the world!"
Li Yansong smiled: "Oh? Come and tell me about it!"
"It goes without saying that the tea tastes great, and I think you all should be able to taste it, but if you taste it carefully, there's even a slight hint of medicinal aroma!"
"Hmm~ It has the fragrance of licorice, mint, and the taste of nightshade, and there is a slight aroma of grass when you taste it!"
"If you don't believe me, try to feel it carefully again!"
After listening to his explanation, everyone quickly took another sip.
Li Yansong asked curiously, "Mr. Zheng also knows the art of Qi Huang?"
Zheng Qiao stroked his beard and said proudly: "Haha, this is nothing. I learned a little when I was young, but I haven't read it for many years. I am sorry for showing off my ugliness."
"This peppermint licorice can induce sweating and relieve fever, nourish the spleen and replenish qi, clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, relieve acute pain, and harmonize various medicines, etc."
"And Polygonum multiflorum can nourish the heart and soothe the mind, dispel wind and dredge the meridians, and replenish blood and qi."
“And this grassy aroma shows that this tea is a very vibrant plant!”
"This tea can actually blend the three flavors and be full of vitality. It shows how magical its medicinal properties are. It deserves to be called the Great Grade Heavenly Fairy Tea. Fifty taels, not expensive!"
After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly understood!
It turns out there are so many tricks in this! Fortunately, there is someone who knows the business!
With such high praise from Mr. Zheng, it seems that Dapin Tianxian Tea deserves its name!
Then everyone looked at the teacups in their hands with a little more eagerness.
Then he lowered his head and began to savor it carefully.
"It's not easy, it's not easy!"
"Indeed! I can taste the grass and mint flavors too."
"Hmm...drinking this tea actually gives me the urge to recite poetry!"
Suddenly, the sound of chanting arose in the public house, and everyone said that they were refreshed after drinking in this cheerful atmosphere, and threatened to buy another batch!
Standing at the door, Liu Er stared at the rare joyous scene in the public housing, drooling uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth...
.......
Taoyuan County, tea-making workshop.
Fang Zhengyi took Zhang Biao to inspect various industries in the county as usual.
At this time, the tea roasting masters in the tea-making workshop were shirtless, working hard to roast the tea leaves in a large iron pot.
Previously, most of this tea had been consumed in Taoyuan County. Fang Zhengyi was planning to expand the production capacity, and estimated that Li Long would be able to sell all of the tea in a month or two.
It’s better to stock up on some goods first. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the tea going bad in a short time.
He was not afraid of not being able to sell it, as people in Dajing were still drinking that flavored tea.
The history of tea frying has long proven that it is a major trend! Whether the shipment is fast or not depends on Li Long's ability.
Looking at the workers working enthusiastically, Fang Zhengyi nodded with satisfaction.
When his eyes swept to the corner of the wall, his brows suddenly frowned and he cursed: "Which bastard put tea leaves and haystacks together! Is there any craftsmanship at all!?"
"If you mess around, I'll hang you all on the city wall! This is a new export business that the county is going to start. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!"
"Also! Be careful when making tea! Control the proportions of the herbs!"
"After frying, pick out all the impurities inside!"
"This is not our own product, so the quality control must be stable! No matter which batch, it must taste the same! Do you understand?"
The tea roasting masters straightened their backs and shouted in unison: "Master! I understand!!!"
