NA0318 A cup of tea in the country

The hall of the Gu family's tea plantation.

The Gujia Tea Garden was established for nearly a hundred years, and its layout is naturally in the previous style. The so-called hall can be roughly equated with a living room, a living room, a hall or a lobby.

Gu Kaiwen sat at the top of the hall, and Cao Qin made Gu Kaiwen a cup of gaiwan tea.

"Young owner, the day before yesterday, two foreigners from Great Britain came to the door, and they wanted to cooperate with us. By the way, they also came yesterday, and they wanted to meet with the young owner. Cao Qin recounted the second event.

Gu Kaiwen was stunned for a moment, the guy from Great Britain actually came to the door?

The guys in Great Britain do like to drink tea.

Back in 2006, the BBC website conducted a survey on the 'National Symbol of Great Britain', and among the twelve alternative answers, 'A Cup of Tea' topped the list with more than 35% of the votes.

From this, it can be seen how much the guys in Great Britain love to drink tea!

As for the guys in Great Britain who prefer to drink black tea?

Absolutely!

Black tea is indeed more popular in Great Britain, from the British royal family to the dock workers, all like black tea, and there is not much interest in green tea.

In 2002, for example, the annual sales of green tea in Great Britain amounted to a measly £4.9 million.

According to the exchange rate between the British pound and the summer dollar, 4.9 million pounds is about 50 million summer dollars, which may seem like a lot at first glance, but in fact it is very little!

According to the Great Britain Tea Association, about 60 billion cups of tea are drunk in Great Britain a year.

Yes!

It is indeed 60 billion cups of tea a year!

On average of Great Britain's population, an average Briton drinks about 900 cups of tea a year.

With such a huge tea market, the annual sales of green tea are only 4.9 million pounds, which is really very small, right?

However, with the development of the times, the people's health awareness has become stronger and stronger, and a large number of Britons have changed from drinking black tea to drinking green tea.

From 2002 to 2006, annual sales of green tea in Great Britain soared from £4.9 million to £156 million, an exaggerated increase.

Today, in Great Britain, both green and black tea have become a daily choice.

However, it is a pity that the green tea of Great Britain is mainly derived from neon, and there are very few green teas sold to Great Britain in the Xia Kingdom, and for the people of Great Britain, quite a few people do not even know that there is also green tea in the Xia Kingdom.

There are several reasons for this!

First of all, the lack of publicity for green tea in Xia is far less than that of neon around the world, and for Xia Guo's tea merchants, they are more willing to cultivate the domestic market.

Secondly, the top green tea in Xia is basically not exported to the outside world!

That's right!

The top green tea in Xia Guo has long been digested internally, where is the opportunity to export?

Taking the top Longjing tea as an example, the top Longjing before the rain in those excellent production areas are all occupied by all kinds of regular customers, and they will not flow into the market at all, so how can they be exported and sold?

As for the dragon well before the rain that is sold to the outside world, it is naturally not the top part.

Even this part of the pre-rain Longjing, it is still the rhythm of selling, and a large number of teahouses, teahouses, and teahouses across the country all need the sub-top pre-rain Longjing.

These people almost wrapped the best quality part of the pre-rain Longjing into a circle, where is there any share of exports?

Although there are some dragon wells on the Internet that are sold before the rain, which one of the people who know the details of those dragon wells is not clear?

Online sales is nothing more than to expand sales, so that more inferior tea also has a market, or let Longjing tea that is not suitable for production have a market.

The range of origin of Longjing tea is limited, where is there so much Longjing tea?

A large number of tea merchants in the non-suitable production area of the plausible Longjing tea, the biggest sales channel is the Internet, anyway, the price is cheaper, mark a rain before the Longjing or something, there are always people who like it, right?

Xia is the same as Great Britain, Xia is also a big consumer of tea, when the top tea is digested internally, the tea merchants do not deliberately publicize, naturally can not promote the green tea of Xia country.

In view of this situation, Gu Kaiwen was very curious, why did the two Britons know about the Gu Family Tea Garden, and even know the location of the Gu Family Tea Garden, and they personally came to the door?

"Anyone?" A strangely accented Xia Chinese language came into the hall.

Cao Qin spoke for the first time, "Shaodong, those two Britons are here again." ”

Gu Kaiwen thought about it for a moment before he spoke, "Sister Cao, you invite them in!"

"Yes. Cao Qin responded.

In less than a minute, two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners walked into the hall, and Gu Kaiwen took the initiative to greet him, "Hello! ”

"Hello!"

"You roar!"

The two Britons had strange accents, but they knew Xia Chinese. Otherwise, Gu Kaiwen's English is not up to par, and the communication between the two sides will be very troublesome.

After introducing himself to two British foreign friends, Gu Kaiwen learned their names, one was Charlie Firth and the other was Edward Malthus, and they ran a tea house called 'Wonderful' in London.

"Charlie, Edward, I have a question. Gu Kaiwen slowed down his speech and used simpler words at the same time.

For example, when Gu Kaiwen said 'there is a problem', it is more appropriate to use the practical 'there is a question', but Gu Kaiwen was worried that the two crooked people would not understand, so he especially used simpler words.

"What?" Charlie understood what Gu Kaiwen meant.

Edward understood, too, and he added, "Just ask, and we'll tell you." ”

Gu Kaiwen still slowed down and asked, "How do you know about us?"

In order to avoid the other party not understanding what he meant, Gu Kaiwen changed the way of inquiry, "Why are you looking for us?"

Edward's Xia Chinese was a little better, he was silent for a few seconds, thinking about Gu Kaiwen's question before responding, "We want to purchase your tea." ”

Gu Kaiwen nodded first, and then asked repeatedly, "But, why do you know that we are in Xia Kingdom, in Shengqing, and in Jinshan?"

Edward and Charlie spoke in English, they exchanged for nearly half a minute, Gu Kaiwen's English could only speak average, he only understood one 'Japan' and 'Tokyo'.

'Neon Tokyo?' Gu Kaiwen thought to himself, 'Could it be that you are listening to the wind?'

After Edward and Charlie finished talking, Edward and Gu Kaiwen communicated, and he responded, "We were traveling in Tokyo before, and we tasted a very magical tea at a tea house. ”

As he spoke, Edward took out his mobile phone and clicked on a photo for Gu Kaiwen to view.

In that photo, Gu Kaiwen saw the logo of '風を静聴'.

'Sure enough, it's Listen to the Wind Yin!' Gu Kaiwen confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and that '風を静聴' was the sign of the Quiet Listening Wind Yin Tea Room in Neon Tokyo.

It's just that how could Saburo Hashimoto tell the two Britons about the purchase channel?
