Chapter 130 Industrious Clansmen, Pity Good Tea
Although Lao Gao is a Ryukyuan person, he is also half of the Ming ......!
Because they also speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, the Tang people of the Ryukyus are basically able to communicate with the Ming people normally.
It can be said that if you don't distinguish carefully, you can't see much difference at all!
Lao Gao belongs to the Kochi group of the Ryukyus! Obviously, he will know more things! West Lake, the Great Wall, Longjing, and so on, I have also heard of it, and I know a little about it!
Hearing Li Mobai praise Ryukyu's tea leaves for being comparable to the West Lake Longjing of the Ming Kingdom, Lao Gao couldn't help but smile bitterly!
"How can our wild tea be compared to West Lake Longjing, it's a famous tea. "Lao Gao has also heard of it, as for the taste of West Lake Longjing, he has not tasted it, but if he wants to come to the world's famous tea, he will not lose to wild tea.
Hearing this, Li Mobai shook his head and said, "It's comparable, it's comparable." ”
"You've been drinking a lot of this kind of tea these days, and I haven't heard you talk about it. Old Gao Hanhan scratched his head and asked directly!
Li Mobai was a little surprised, "When have I ever drunk it?"
Niu Wanglin's eyes widened and said, "Look, your kettle is full of this wild tea." ”
Li Mobai: "......!"
"Really? How is this possible? The taste is completely different! I thought I was drinking ordinary tea. What you entertained me was your best wild tea!" Li Mobai couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
"How come? it's exactly the same!" said Lao Gao, shaking his head!
Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, looked into the enamel jar, and understood!
Generally speaking, the taste of this tea will be very different depending on the time of picking and the method of frying.
The best is the tea before the rain, followed by the tea before the rain, and then the three spring tea, the tea that Lao Gao brewed for himself, each piece is a leaf and a bud, which is called a flag gun in the tea, it should be the tea before the rain, and the taste is second only to the tea before the Ming Dynasty. It tastes great!
And during this time, Li Mobai was busy! He didn't pay much attention to it! What he drank should be a piece of tea, commonly known as a stalk. In the past, it was used by tea farmers to practice their skills, and the taste could not be compared with real tea.
It's like the same three-bedroom house! First-tier cities, second-tier cities, third-tier cities, and unknown small towns! The location is different, and the value is naturally different! The world is different!
"Is this kind of wild tea cultivated by many people here?" Li Mobai said with concern!
Lao Gao: "......!"
"It's a lot! It's almost every family! But it's not worth much, the men work, and the women and the old people pick tea at home, take it out and sell it, and exchange it for some household use. Not far from the Emerald Isle, we even have a small island called Chaxiang Island! It's full of tea trees! But it doesn't make much money. After all, the unit price can't go up!"
Obviously, that Chaxiang Island should be in that place!
Li Mobai: "......!"
"Well, Ming'er, are you looking for someone to take me to Chaxiang Island to have a look?" Li Mobai said with interest!
Lao Gao didn't understand how Li Mobai could be interested in this wild tea, how could you have such a peculiar hobby as a big boss! But he still readily agreed! No problem! I will find someone to accompany you to take a look tomorrow!
In Li Mobai's mind, there is a not-so-mature plan that is slowly unfolding!
Tea is a consumable! Its price is determined according to the fluctuation of brand quality!
The higher the brand value, the higher the profit! Li Mobai thinks that he can find a way to operate this matter!
The next day, Li Mobai took a speedboat to Chaxiang Island under the leadership of two Tang couples who were familiar with the road conditions!
Because the tea can't be sold at a price, picking is very labor-intensive, often picking tens of thousands of green leaves to make a pound of tea, a pound of tea can only be sold for dozens of dollars, very cost-effective, so the Ryukyuan people are very relaxed about the management of tea, belonging to the time is free, today to pick tea, no time to let the tea elders, there is no concept of grabbing the time to pick.
Not only that, the Tang people's frying methods are very backward, and they don't know how to grade tea.
After getting the first-hand information, Li Mobai pondered how to sell the tea!
If we can open up a market for wild tea, then there will be a lot of people who will benefit!
"Mr. Li, what's wrong?" The couple who accompanied Li Mobai over saw Li Mobai's expression so serious, and immediately said with concern!
Li Mobai: "......!"
"It's okay, I'm thinking, such a big tea forest. It would be a pity if it was so wasted! It couldn't be wasted! This is also the precious wealth left to us by our ancestors! We have to cherish it!" Li Mobai seriously analyzed!
Couple: "......!"
"Hi. Mr. Li, you don't know, it's not that we Tang people are lazy. Rather, it's really not proportional to the payout. We waste so much energy to toss, and in the end, we can't make two dollars, so isn't it in vain?
They thought that Li Mobai disliked them for being too lazy. So he defended himself!
Li Mobai nodded slightly, he knew that because of various reasons, the Tang people often paid blood and sweat, but they did not get the due return! After a few times, everyone was naturally disheartened.
At present, the most urgent task is not only to make money, but also to restore the confidence of the Tang people. Let them believe that this tea can make money. You can make a fortune with them!
The Mingguo market is so big. The Asian market is so big! It's big enough to hold the finest tea from the lower Ryukyus!
However, it is not easy to open up the situation, especially in China, there are two things that are difficult to have rookies emerge, one is wine, the other is tea, these two things are really long-standing, and now the famous tea and wine left behind is not only a thing in itself, it is also a cultural specimen.
Things can be better and worse, but culture is hard to replace.
Take Moutai as an example, it is a kind of culture, to be precise, it is a kind of officialdom culture, which level of leaders and directors drink which grade of Moutai and how high the degree, this almost has a convention to follow.
If there is no Moutai, the leader will think that he is not respected, and there have been officials who did not go to Moutai when the leader and guide inspected, and were later put on small shoes by the leader and sent to the cold bench.
When you drink Moutai, you have face, you are respected, and it is a symbol of status.
Even if one day in the future, the Moutai Distillery is burned to the ground, in the blink of an eye, she can be rebuilt, because there is a culture condensed in her. Cultural things cannot be destroyed by fire.
And some rising stars, such as Qinchi and Confucius, which were once thunderous, can make it die without a place to be buried......!
Of course, over the years, with vigorous rectification! This phenomenon has gradually disappeared! No one dares to drink Moutai with great fanfare anymore! No one dares to make such a joke with their own black gauze hat! But this inherited habit cannot be completely wiped out in a short period of time!
Isn't it just that many places have exposed the story of pouring Moutai into a mineral water bottle to disguise? In the final analysis, it is because the attraction of Moutai is big enough!
In an environment where there are piles of famous teas and wines, the up-and-comers are short-lived, and they are also piled up with money, Li Mobai doesn't have the money to smash such an effect, and Ryukyu doesn't either! Even if there is, it won't be used on an unknown wild tea.
Li Mobai thinks that this is a way to make money! However, how to successfully open up this road of wealth depends on Li Mobai's ability!
The road is in front of you, and the goal is also in front of you! However, this road is destined not to be smooth sailing, and even full of ups and downs! Whether you have the information to go down depends on your ability and belief!
For Li Mobai. First of all, he has the best, the best tea plantation!
Secondly, he still has so many simple Tang people to support him! These two points alone have given him infinite belief in victory!
