77. Chapter 77
Smelling the aroma of tea boiling in a teapot, my mind was clear for a while. The www.biquge.info ideas seem to be beginning to be clear, this tea fragrance has such an effect, I don't know what miracle effect it will have when you drink it in your mouth?
Soon, the sound of boiling tea came from the small teapot, and the hot air shook gently against the teapot lid. Shopkeeper Li lightly picked up the lid of the teapot, took out half a teacup of boiling tea, and then poured some cold water into the teapot before boiling.
Shopkeeper Li explained that the characteristics of this tea are that it is very resistant to boiling, and it can be considered complete only after three boils and three openings. Before boiling, pour out three and a half cups of water and gradually add them to the teapot. During the tea drinking, reduce the charcoal fire, except for the moment when the teapot is poured, the teapot should not be separated from the fire until the whole pot of tea is drunk.
As he spoke, the tea had already been opened three times. Shopkeeper Li poured a cup for me, I took the small teacup, the pale green tea soup was full of bursts of fragrance, I took a deep breath of the aroma, the aroma immediately filled my mind, there was a trace of sweetness. The tea soup is not clear, but it is not turbid. It's like adding lactose to tea.
Take a small sip, and a trace of hot tea soup enters the mouth, and a thick fragrance fills it. There is a fresh ginger flavor mixed with peanuts and sesame seeds. The tea soup swirled on the tip of the tongue and swallowed slowly, leaving a fragrance on the empty lips and teeth, which lasted for a long time.
The tea soup enters the abdomen, and a stream of heat flows down the stomach and intestines, and after a while, the pores of the body open, and the hot air between the chest and abdomen fills up. The warm feeling is very comfortable, and I want to take a few more sips.
Shopkeeper Li watched me intently and tasted the tea carefully, nodding secretly, this way of drinking is the most correct, unlike other customers in the store, picking up a big bowl and drying the cow drink. Different ways of tasting will have different tastes when making tea.
No matter what the shopkeeper thinks in his heart, making tea is still good. I believe that with a good name, it will definitely sell more hot.
The shopkeeper saw that I stopped drinking after drinking three glasses in a row, and hurriedly asked, how does the guest officer feel? Do you know a little about the tea ceremony? I nodded and replied, the tea is good, how much is the price of the shopkeeper? Generally this pot of tea? I asked, pointing to the teapot in the charcoal stove.
Oh, usually, I sell a pot of tea for ten silver coins, but it's too laborious to make. There is also a tea ceremony, which most people don't understand, and no one buys it when it's expensive.
In the early days, I developed this hangover tea, no, no, no, when I made the tea, I just wanted to find a decoction to remove yin and dampness. Inadvertently, several raw materials are combined, and the taste is gradually palatable. However, the current profit of making tea is too low, and the dozen or so guys hired to buy raw materials and other matters are busy every day. I can't hold on anymore.
Listening to the shopkeeper's nagging complaints, I said to the shopkeeper, I tell two ways to change this situation, as a premise for cooperating with you?
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly promised that as long as you can change this status quo, I will offer your name in the store! By the way, I don't know what to call it objectively? You're not kidding the old man, are you?
Don't worry, I replied, my name is Wu Ming, Koutian Wu, bright Ming. Of course, what I said is true, and you can listen to me explain these two precautions for you one by one.
First, in the production of your tea, improve the process, check all the procedures by process, and write down the areas that need to be improved. For example, in the grinding of stone pestles and mortars, find the most labor-saving way to reduce labor time and increase output. At this point, I happened to be going to visit Master Ironwood, and I asked him to study a set of machines. You may wish to go with me, the newly made machine can be used as a technological innovation on my side.
Before the words fell, Shopkeeper Li's expression was shocked, and a look of surprise immediately filled his face. Hurriedly said, according to what you just said, really, if I solve the problem of manpower consumption, the output of tea will immediately increase several times, do you still know Master Tiemu? Will he build us this kind of machine?
Shopkeeper Li asked suspiciously, I heard that Master Tiemu's fees are very high? I patted my chest and assured the shopkeeper that the cost of this production, you can rest assured, is wrapped up in me. I asked him to make this machine, and when he was happy, he might even give us money!
Shopkeeper Li nodded again suspiciously, and then asked, where is the second type of project I want to improve?
Second, on the existing flavor of this tea, other different varieties are being added, and most of the people you sell in the store are male guests, right? Because the ginger flavor is relatively special, the average female customer is reluctant to drink this flavor. In fact, if you take advantage of the flower varieties of Baihua Valley to develop some beautiful flower tea, I believe that in the near future, as long as the customers who come to the store, regardless of men and women, can find a suitable tea for themselves.
Shopkeeper Li was surprised at first, perhaps looking at my face with admiration, my originally thick skin was a little hot from his staring.
Look at the time, the two beauties are still resting at the Iron Master. I think I've already woken up, and the weapons that Master Iron made for them are probably time to be delivered. On the way back, I just made an appointment with Shopkeeper Li to visit Master Tie, and we could chat along the way.
Shopkeeper Li listened to my suggestion, pondered slightly, and felt that both points were feasible. Especially the labor-saving machine, the sooner it is made, the sooner it will make money.
The decision has been made, and the shopkeeper Li found the shopkeeper who received me and asked him to take care of the store temporarily first. I wanted to go to Master Tie's workshop to do business, and the shopkeeper hurriedly agreed.
Walking out of the tavern, I asked Shopkeeper Li if there was anything new near the abyss recently.
Shopkeeper Li began to talk about some painless incidents, what is the male and young man, who was selected for the palace guard a few days ago, went home to visit relatives yesterday, and left a hundred gold ingots to his parents, saying that it was the queen's reward and found the royal pet or something.
What is the youngest girl of who's family, because of her outstanding appearance and good hands, she was selected by Hongluan Auction House as the chief pianist of the piano hall. Wait, wait, and finally, Shopkeeper Li finally said something that I was interested in.
Several cargo stations and merchants, yesterday jointly issued a reward, is about the hunting of unknown beasts, this beast moves like the wind, the body length of about one meter, this beast is as black as ink, the whole body is copper skin and iron bones, the sword is difficult to hurt, this beast specializes in robbing the caravan that transports materials, especially the skin of the iron-backed snake, this beast does not let go, I don't know why.
Recently, this strange beast has destroyed the goods of more than a dozen caravans one after another, although it has not hurt anyone, but the goods of the cargo station owner have lost more than fifty percent in recent days.
So, in a hurry, the owner of the cargo station issued a reward order in the Qingshuifang area, and anyone who caught this strange beast alive would receive a reward of 10,000 gold coins, and half the price for the deadγγγγγγ
