Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Tea Business Is Settled
went up the mountain, because no one had greeted the Xie family in the mountain before, and when the uncle of the Xie family saw that he was wearing a military uniform, he was so frightened that his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't understand what he said. The www.biquge.info of Pen Fun Pavilion knew that he couldn't entertain such a big guest, so he asked his eldest grandson to go to the old captain's house and call the old captain.
When the two met, everything that should be said was said, and Liu Yujin knew why people wanted to go up the mountain in person.
It turns out that this real famous special Ming Qian tea costs thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan per catty, and a few old cadres in their army need at least thirty catties a year. It's not that the old cadres want to be privileged, but that their status must be treated like this.
Now the army has been reformed, and the army expenses have been distributed to the ministries, and they are no longer under the control of the top. At the same time, various streamlinings have been made in terms of funding, which has resulted in a heavy logistical burden on the departments. After several veteran cadres knew about this situation, they unanimously stated that they did not need to provide them with thousands or tens of thousands of famous special teas in the future, as long as it was Ming Qian tea with good taste and no stomach damage.
People are actually here for this Ming Qian tea!
Because the yield of Ming Qian tea is very small, it even affects the grade of the second tea picking: there is a more important point, the master who stir-fried Ming Qian tea must be at the level of a tea master to do the best. Otherwise, even if you make Ming Qian tea, it can only be regarded as ordinary tea, and if you can't reach the special grade, you won't get the corresponding price, and it can be regarded as ruining those tea herbs.
People also know this, so they have to go up the mountain to see for themselves and find out the truth. Only when this tea garden can make Ming Qian tea, which is no less than the premium famous tea, can they talk about the first-class rain tea that is needed in large quantities later.
Liu Yujin understood what this meant, and looked at the old captain very nervously.
The old captain took a puff of dry tobacco unhurriedly, and only spoke after a while: "Our family has more than a dozen tea gardens, and our ancestors have been doing it for hundreds of years, so it is impossible not to make special Mingqian tea." It's just that when it was more than five years old, the working group from above said that it was too wasteful for us to make Ming Qian tea, and we had to restructure all the first-class rain tea. It's only been more than 20 years since I stopped doing it, but the master who was able to make Ming Qian tea is still alive.
He is used to drinking Ming Qian tea, although the working group does not let our tea garden make Ming Qian tea, but his children and grandchildren are filial, every year around the Qingming Festival will pick wild tea everywhere and come back, for the ancestors to fry their own drink. If you really want to, then send someone who understands tea over during the Qingming tea picking time. I'll ask the master to fry a pound for you to drink, and if you think it's qualified, we'll pick and make tea according to the amount you want. What do you think?"
Director Zhao's sister-in-law was very surprised, he never knew that such a remote place would hide a centuries-old tea garden!
"Since your tea garden has so many years of history, the tea leaves you make should have a name?"
"It's famous, but it's not famous! The old captain shook his head with some regret.
"You say, maybe I know!"
During this time, in order to find a suitable cooperative tea garden, he urgently supplemented a lot of knowledge about tea, and he did not let go of the famous and not famous, so he was more confident.
"The tea before the Ming Dynasty is called Shi Ya, and after the liberation, because the tea before the Ming Dynasty is no longer produced, this name has basically disappeared! ”
Shi Ya, Shi Cui, I really haven't heard of this name, "Old Captain, you really haven't seen this tea in the market, I guess your tea has been used as other tea." ”
The old captain nodded: "This is normal! The ones we send to the supply and marketing cooperatives are loose tea, and then the supply and marketing cooperatives repack the boxes themselves, and we don't know what name they use." Even the first-class tea or the second-level tea is the final say of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there is no room for us to speak. ”
Director Zhao's sister-in-law smiled and didn't express any opinions, and directly changed the topic and agreed on the demand and price of tea before the rain. The price of tea in front of the Ming Dynasty can not be higher than 2,000 yuan a catty, and the specific price will have to wait until the results come out to give a reasonable and satisfactory price for both parties.
However, the old captain was very satisfied with the price of tea before the rain, and the tea before the rain was sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the first-class tea was only 18 yuan a catty, and every 10 catties of tea had to be lost by 1 catty, and the tea was only a little more than 16 yuan per catty. Now the officer gives them fifty yuan a catty, but the requirements are stricter, and they must be on the bud (the tea type is good-looking, but it is a bit labor-intensive and cost-effective tea grass). In this way, the tea herb that can be used to make one pound of tea can only be made seven taels, so the real price is thirty-five yuan a catty. Because they don't want to lose, this price is a little more than twice the original, and they don't have to be tossed by others like their grandsons.
And the sister-in-law of Director Zhao gave this price, which was more than half cheaper than the price he normally bought for famous tea. There are more than 120 cadres in their department who are eligible to receive tea benefits, large and small, and according to the average of three taels of tea per person per month, the total amount of tea in a year will be more than 400 catties. In addition to the needs of each guest house and each reception room, the minimum requirement is 500 catties. This item alone, based on half savings, can save the minimum estimate of 30,000 yuan.
As for the tea before the Ming Dynasty, if it can be recognized by a few bigwigs, with the highest price of 2,000 catties, if you want 30 catties, you can save about 60,000 yuan.
Really good!
And the old captain is also very satisfied! The tea garden here produces 1,200 catties of tea at the highest and 800 catties at the lowest. All of them are calculated based on the seventy percent discount of bud tea grass, and the minimum can be more than 500 catties, which can fully supply the other party's demand. And so, the deal is done. And both parties are satisfied!
The old captain wanted to keep the guests for dinner, and anyway, when it was time to make tea, they would have to borrow food and drink here for several days, so there was no need to be polite at this time, so they did not excuse themselves. However, before leaving, he left the old captain with a Great China, which was not a cheap advantage for the old captain, and the soldiers at this time were very military rules.
The old captain and the uncle of the Xie family were sent to the parking place at the bottom of the mountain, and when they watched them drive away and disappeared, they no longer guarded the roadside. The captain under the mountain eagerly asked Captain Xie what the people of the army were looking for him, but the old captain did not tell the truth, only said that his relatives came to take a walk. It's not that he doesn't trust his old friend, it's just that he is worried that his old friend is not vigilant enough to tell them about their tea garden. When the time comes, I can't say what trouble will come out!
The matter of tea in the mountains has finally been resolved, and the old captain has spoken, at least one hundred catties of tea will be left for Liu Yujin. This made Liu Yujin, who had already booked a lot of tea to go out, relieved himself, and began to be busy digging tree holes, planting saplings, buying fish fry, releasing fish fry, raising seedlings, turning fields, and fertilizing.
