Chapter 112: As a last resort, go into the mountains to pick tea
Chang Jichun waved his hand, and then tasted tea.
A cup of green tea is brewed four times, and the taste is different.
The top green tea, and the top one, is worth 10,000 gold, not at all.
"Ye Chen Xiaoyou, how is the price of this tea in China?"
"Sold in bulk, sixty-one pounds. Wholesale 451 catties, one catty of premium tea to buy two catties of Chenshan nectar. Wholesale ...... from three catties," Ye Chen said.
"It's more expensive than selling to foreigners. Li Zhidao.
"There is a tax rebate policy for exporting abroad, and there is basically no tax when calculated. But at home...... By the way, I'm a regular business here, and I'm registered with the town's industrial and commercial bureau. ”
The output of premium tea is limited, and the tea trees in the space have a daily output of 1.5 catties.
Connor and Anderson ordered 25 kilograms, or 50 kilograms, in one go. Under normal circumstances, autumn tea is picked at the beginning of October, but in the space, it is not sure what kind of situation it can be picked all the time, but the known situation does not seem to be good.
In this way, the wholesale price is indeed cheaper, but the overall price is still very expensive.
Chang Jichun was hesitating, and Ye Chen said again: "This year's Chenshan Small Seed Autumn Tea Special Grade has been booked out for 50 catties. If you want, you need to wait until the end of the tea season to see if it's available. ”
Chang Jichun looked at Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was also stunned. The two gringos bought 50 catties at once, that is, 25 kilograms, 250,000 US dollars......
No wonder, Ye Chen's tea refuses to reduce the price, this income is a huge profit.
It's not early, Chang Jichun has booked today's itinerary, and he is going to Mengding Mountain. bought two taels of loose tea here in Ye Chen, 12,000 yuan, and left. Li Zhi also wanted to go back to work, so he sat in a Rolls-Royce.
Zhao Jiyang went to apply for an export license, and in the provincial capital, he went with Zhang Xi, and came back two days later. Ye Chen went to the utility room and took a hoe and entered the cave space.
The tea tree has grown white rhizomes when soaked in water.
In these two days, the tea production has decreased by a little.
Yesterday I fried 1.45 catties of new tea, but today it is only 1.41 catties. Tea growth needs to absorb nutrients, only in water, and the nutrients absorbed are limited. And the quality of the tea produced is also decreasing.
Connor and Anderson ordered 25 kilograms of tea, which is not enough to produce now. But everything also needs to abide by the laws of nature, and although the cave space is special, it is impossible to extract it indefinitely.
Ye Chen cleared out a piece of land in the space and planted tea trees.
There are 151 tea trees, of which more than 30 tea trees are relatively large, two or three meters high, and the smallest tea tree is less than half a meter tall and not as thick as a small thumb.
Plant them all and water and fertilize the tea trees.
Fertilizers are natural fertilizers, charcoal ash and dead wood branches and leaves. It's past four o'clock in the night, it's almost dawn, I went to the kitchen to get something to eat, went to sleep, woke up almost noon, went into the space to take a look.
The tea trees did not receive the impact of transplanting, and grew green and tender new shoots, all of which were picked and fried to produce 1 catty and 4 taels of new tea.
That's too slow.
It is mainly fried and shaped, which is too delayed. And you can't let anyone else do it for you, and no one else can do it. The main thing is the output......
It is only a dozen days before the end of this year's tea picking season. When autumn comes, if the space tea tree also follows the laws of the outside world......
In the evening, I put away the freshly made tea leaves and drove to the tea-making workshop to have a look.
Autumn tea, one leaf and one bud. Hand-fried tea can be sold for four or seven hundred yuan a catty, which is very rare. The tea fried by the machine can be sold for three or four hundred and one catties if it is slightly better, which is very rare. Ordinary hand-fried tea is three or four hundred and one pounds, and mechanical fried tea is about two hundred.
The tea here is very good, if it is sold to a local tea merchant, it will cost about 700 pounds.
This tea garden is very famous, and when Ye Chen was under his management, he only picked spring and autumn tea leaves a year. Spring tea and autumn tea, the annual output is about 700 catties, the most expensive is eight or nine hundred and one catties, and the cheap ones are three or four hundred and one catties, all of which are fried and sold. In a year, excluding various expenses, there can be more than 100,000 or 200,000 profits.
Ye Chen sold the tea at a sky-high price, which caused a big sensation here.
Coming to the workshop, Ye Chen looked at the newly fried tea leaves today. The masters have fried it carefully, and the fried tea leaves are getting better and better.
After chatting with the roasted tea masters, Ye Chen called Chen Kang and asked about fertilizing the tea garden today.
Tea plantations used to use manure, but now there are fewer people raising pigs in the countryside, and manure is hard to find. The town unified the management of tea plantations within the town limits of Qingshan Town, applying organic and mineral fertilizers. The fertilizer is available in town and can be delivered with a phone call. But in addition to these fertilizers, the tea gardens in the tea mountains also have to lay a layer of straw in the aisles of the tea gardens every winter.
In the winter of Mengshan, it is often below zero degrees at night. Laying a layer of straw can play a role in heat preservation, and the straw is also fertilizer after natural decay.
Chen Kang knew the management of the tea plantation, and he used to often go to the tea mountain to help.
In this tea plantation, the tea picking period is usually only three months. At the end of tea picking in autumn, heavy fertilizer is applied and a thick layer of straw is spread, because if you don't pick summer tea leaves, you basically don't need to fertilize the next year. It takes time for straw to rot, which is almost the fertilizer of autumn tea.
"The fertilizer has been ordered, and the dry grain grass has been contacted. Wait for the end of the tea picking season to start fertilizing. Chen Kang said.
"When fertilizing, ask an expert to come and guide me. In addition, the town has set up an organic ecological agriculture workshop, and when the class starts after the farming is busy, we will also organize it and go over to attend the class. ”
Ye Chen said and saw Luo Cheng carrying the tea leaves over to weigh the scales, and stopped him: "Master Luo, come here." ”
Luo Cheng weighed the tea leaves, and said with a smile: "What did Boss Ye order?"
"Do you have anyone willing to go with me to the mountains to pick tea? Ye Chen was going to fry more tea, also to hide people's eyes.
Ye Chen's registered Chenshan small species has long been discussed, it is Xiaoye mountain tea. It is said that it was sold for 10,000 US dollars a kilogram, which is tens of thousands of yuan a catty. Luo Cheng is a tea worker who helps Ye Chen pick tea, and the small seeds of Chenshan picked are enough to fry a few taels of tea in a day.
These people have never seen the special grade of Chenshan small species, and they think it is the tea leaves on the mountain.
"Of course I do, I'm one of the ones who go into the mountains to pick tea. I also know of a few hills with a particularly high number of tea bushes. ”
"You come to contact the people who enter the mountain, and you need to be proficient. I will explain to you in detail the requirements for picking tea leaves after entering the mountain tomorrow. This batch of tea. You know the price after frying, so there are requirements for both tea trees and tea shapes. Ye Chen thought for a while: "Otherwise, I'll take you to the tea mountain to have a look." ”
"Okay. ”
Ye Chen invited Luo Cheng to get in the car, Luo Cheng was a little restrained, knowing that he was a car of more than two million, and pointed to his clothes and pants......
"Get in the car. I'm also a tea farmer......" said as he spread it out, revealing some easily washed tea stains on his hands.
At the top of the mountain, Ye Chen plucked the tea buds from the ancient tea tree: "Only take the young shoots at the top of the branches, it is best to have two large leaves, two small leaves and one bud heart, or you can ask for a large leaf, two small leaves and one bud heart." The tea leaves at the top of the branches are the most delicate, and the closer to the trunk of the tea tree, the more difficult it is, and those tea leaves are bitter. ”
Luo Cheng listened carefully and kept nodding.
"The first is to choose the buds. Tea tree branches, tea buds should be as far out as possible. The second is to choose a tree...... "Ye Chen took Luo Cheng down a steep slope."
The small leaf camellia here is more than an acre.
The normal harvest has begun, and the pickers have stepped out of the road here.
"Choose a tree, the bigger the tree, the better. Look at the leaves of these small tea trees, the tea trees are small, and the leaves are large. Tea trees are big, but the leaves are small. When selecting tea plants, the diameter of the roots should not be less than three centimeters. Ye Chen explained to Luo Cheng the basic requirements for picking small-leaf camellia, and then said: "The road to the mountain tea picking is difficult, and a person can't pick much tea in a day. I will buy tea from you, and it will cost 1,100 yuan per pound of tea, and it must all meet the requirements I said. ”
Luo Cheng nodded hurriedly: "No problem." Well, I'll go to the contact hand now. ”
"Wait, don't delay my tea picking here. Also, try to pick experienced people to go into the mountains. ”
"Understood. ”
Ye Chen didn't want the price of Xiaoye mountain tea to rise now. In the mountains, in addition to the two thousand-year-old tea trees in the rocky mountain, there are three in other places, which are far away.
There are large-scale tea trees around the ancient tea trees, which can be regarded as wild natural tea gardens.
These wild natural tea gardens will be auctioned off when they attract investment, and the adoption rights of ancient tea trees. Now that the price of Xiaoye mountain tea is hyped, when the time comes, it will inevitably lead to a bloody fight, but it is not what Ye Chen wants to see.
