Chapter 14 Ten Thousand Taels of Orders
"Young master, young master?" Huangfu was whispering from the side.
Huangfu Xiangdong put down the teacup at this time, retracted his thoughts and said: "Let Miss Xia smile, this tea is like jade liquid elixir, it can make people feel slightly drunk, it can be called a superb!" ”
Xia Qingyun smiled and said: "Tea is also intoxicating, why do you need wine, I think the son is also a person with elegant tastes, so I have this feeling." ”
"Wonderful! Tea is also intoxicating, why do you need wine! The emperor stroked his palms to the east, "Miss Xia's heart is full of quality, and her exit is a chapter, which makes her deeply admired!" ”
"Those two catties of white peonies"
Before she could finish speaking, Huang Fuzheng said: "Last time I made an appointment with Miss Xia, a total of two hundred taels of silver, and there are still one hundred and fifty taels of outstanding in addition to the deposit, so I will let someone bring it to Miss Xia." ”
He was just about to instruct his subordinates to go to the account office to pay the money, when the emperor shouted to the east: "Wait! The white peony is the best of the best, the price of one or two tea leaves and ten taels of silver is already too affordable, and this time Miss Xia is ingenious, branding the bamboo tube to dress, I want to see, just the two poems on the bamboo tube are worth one hundred taels! ”
The emperor was thinking about it, and asked his subordinates to take two hundred and fifty taels of silver ingots and bring them up.
Xia Qingyun accepted it with a smile.
How can there be no reason not to want the silver sent to the door, and these tea tubes are handmade zuò, exquisite and atmospheric, and they are indeed worth the price.
She nodded to Xia Huayun, who took out two more small bamboo boxes from the back basket and handed them to her sister.
"Here is my new variety, called Baihao Silver Needle, to give to the son to taste."
Huangfu opened the bamboo box to the east, and inside was a small bag made of fine white cotton, and the mouth of the bag was tied up with a cyan Yingluo. He untied the Yingluo, and saw that the tea leaves inside were shaped like needles, covered with white millimeters, and the color was as white as silver, and sighed: "It is really a veritable white silver needle!" ”
Xia Qingyun explained: "This tea is made from newly issued fat buds, which is sweet and refreshing to drink, with an endless aftertaste, and a unique fresh taste, which is very suitable for young talents like Gongzi." It's just that the water temperature should not be too high when brewing, and if it is too high, it will lose its fresh flavor, and the water temperature should be slightly lower than when brewing white peonies. ”
Huangfu was instructing his subordinates to take another set of teapots and teacups, boil the water again, and ask Xia Qingyun to demonstrate the brewing technique.
Xia Qingyun happily obeyed, and after the water boiled, he sank for a while, and his jade fingers flew like flowing water, and he gave everyone the brewed white silver needles to taste.
The tea soup of Baihao Silver Needle is slightly lighter than that of white peony, clear and bright, and has a refreshing fragrance to drink. If the white peony is compared to an elegant beauty and celebrity, the white silver needle is like a twenty-eight girl, pure and charming.
This is what she specially made in the Wishful Treasure Pavilion last night. With the help of her family, the tea plantation in the treasure pavilion has begun to take shape, and the production has also increased, so she has added another variety so that she can receive more orders.
After the emperor tasted it to the east, he was full of praise.
The housekeeper Huangfu was asking, "Miss Xia, in addition to the white peony and the white silver needle, are there any other varieties?" ”
Xia Qingyun replied, "Of course." The white peony has a strong aroma and is suitable for ladies and ladies. Baihao silver needles are refreshing and transparent, suitable for young talents. There is also a kind of Shou Mei, which has a slightly medicinal fragrance and a mellow taste, which is suitable for older people. However, you don't have to stick to that, you can also brew according to your favorite taste. ”
The emperor rejoiced to the east.
Xia Qingyun's tea not only tastes good, but also has a good name.
With the word Shou Mei alone, you can win the favor of the elder.
He asked, "Can Shou Mei bring it?" ”
Xia Qingyun shook his head, "The tea garden has just begun to be built, and at present, there are only white peonies and white silver needles, and Shou Mei has not yet been mass-produced. ”
Huangfu Xiangdong was born in a family of merchants since he was a child, and he is extremely sensitive to business opportunities. He concluded that if this tea was sold in the provincial capital or the capital, it would definitely cause a sensation.
So he asked: "Miss Xia, I want to discuss with Miss Xia in the future, whether the Huangfu family can exclusively sell all the tea leaves in Qingyun Tea Garden, no matter what the variety, and accept all the tea leaves as ordered." The price must be satisfactory to Miss Xia, I don't know what to do? ”
Xia Qingyun was not hypocritical, so he said: "Thank you, son!" Qingyun Tea Garden has the opportunity to cooperate with the famous Huangfu family, which is a great opportunity. Thanks to Zhengbo's discerning eyes, otherwise the white peony would still be hidden in the countryside. Qingyun can guarantee that in addition to Qingyun Tea Garden's own use, within five years, all tea will be sold exclusively by the Huangfu family's business! ”
She gave most of the credit to Huang Fuzheng, indeed because she was sincerely grateful to him. Huangfu is humble and enthusiastic, and does not despise the two sisters and brothers because of their shabbyness, if not, the Huangfu family will not get the opportunity to sell exclusively.
Huangfu is secretly praising Xia Qingyun's intelligence and transparency, and it is expected that this woman will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future!
Xia Qingyun took out a piece of paper, on which were written a few lines of handsome small letters, listing the price of tea:
The best white peony, one hundred taels of silver;
high-grade white peony, sixty taels of silver a catty;
Again: the best white silver needle, three hundred taels of silver a catty;
High-grade white silver needle, two hundred taels of silver a catty;
It can provide 50 catties of excellent tea and 100 catties of high-grade tea every month. Twenty-three thousand taels of silver.
After Huangfu looked at the east, he asked with some confusion: "What is the difference between the best and the best?" ”
Xia Qingyun explains: "There are many factors that affect the quality of tea, for example, the tea on the top of the mountain tastes different from the tea on the mountainside. Tea picked in the morning is different from tea picked at noon. The difference between the best and the best is that the best tea is selected from the best buds and fresh leaves on a tree, and the most suitable half an hour in the early morning is carefully selected by the young girl to pick the fullest fat buds. ”
She picked up a silver needle and said with a smile: "For example, this superb Baihao can produce half a tael on a tree every month." If you change to the top grade Baihao, the picking time is more free, the buds and leaves are slightly uneven compared to the best, and the soup color, aroma and taste are different from the best. ”
Xia Qingyun took a sip of the teacup, and added: "If these two kinds of tea can't be sold, as long as there is no dampness, mildew or insect bites, no matter how long it is, I can recycle it at the original price." ”
Businessmen are most afraid of backlogs, and the faster the flow of funds, the more they can earn.
Hearing Xia Qingyun say this, Huangfu Xiangdong no longer hesitated, and immediately instructed Huangfu Zheng beside him, "Uncle Zheng, just write a transaction document according to Miss Xia's wishes." In addition, six thousand eight hundred taels of silver and two hundred taels of silver were taken as deposits. ”
He picked up the tea tube from the table and asked, "I don't know how to sell this kind of bamboo tube with branding?" ”
Xia Qingyun said: "I was also about to discuss with my son, in order to facilitate the weighing and checking when receiving, the packaging of a large number of supplies is in a fine white cloth bag, ten catties a bag." Tea canisters are available in three sizes: half taels, two taels, and four taels, which are packaged by your firm according to the needs of customers. What do you think? ”
"This is a good idea!" Huangfu nodded to the east and said, "One or two taels of silver can be exchanged for eight small tubes, or four medium tubes, or two large tubes, as well as the household goods that the girl used to make tea just now, one or two sets of silver, can you?" ”
"But it's up to Childe to decide!" Xia Qingyun replied with a smile.
Tea cones and tea utensils are not difficult to make. Beixi Village is full of bamboo, and the raw materials cost almost nothing. People with a little skill can easily make seven or eight tea cones a day. There is no reason not to agree to such a good deal.
In the end, Xia Qingyun got an order of 300 catties of tea, 500 tea tubes, and 500 sets of tea utensils per month from Huangfu's family, and the order amount was as high as 25,000 taels!
Moreover, the Huangfu family and Qingyun Tea House also signed a long-term supply document to underwrite all the goods produced by Qingyun Tea Garden.
Coming out of the Huangfu Mansion, Xia Huayun asked with some concern: "Sister, you just said that the tea that can't be sold can be recycled." I'm worried that the price of tea is so expensive, if we can't sell it and return it, where do we have so much money? ”
Xia Qingyun smiled and said: "The Houmen eunuchs in the upper class like to compare and follow the trend the most, and the things are sold cheaply, but they feel that they are not worthy of their noble status. Scarcity is expensive, our family is the only one in the world that can make this kind of tea, and they can't buy it with silver elsewhere. Moreover, the older the tea, the more mellow the taste, the better it tastes, and even if the original price is recovered, we will not suffer. ”
Xia Huayun nodded as if she didn't understand, whatever my sister said was right! Twenty-five thousand taels of silver, obediently, I'm afraid that the entire Beixi Village people don't have so much money combined!
It feels good to have money in your pocket, and you can buy whatever you want!
Xia Qingyun first went to the car shop and picked up two carriages, one to pull goods and the other to sit people. He hired two servants from the car shop to follow, one next to the other, and began to visit the market.
To say that shopping may be the talent of all women, no matter the past or present life, which dynasty and which generation, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law like it, even if they don't buy anything, they can go shopping all day with relish.
Now, Xia Qingyun has thoroughly brought this talent into play. She must enter every store, and she must buy when she enters.
It took twenty or thirty trips for the two little men to carry the things she had bought to the wagon.
It wasn't until Shen Shi that Xia Qingyun bought all the things and asked the little maid to call the handlebar, and she and Xia Huayun walked slowly behind.
Suddenly, there was a heart-rending cry from the direction of the medical hall.
Xia Qingyun followed the flow of people to the door of the medical hall and saw a woman sitting on the ground, and a boy about three or four years old was lying on the door panel in front of him. The child's face was sallow and bloodless, and he had apparently stopped breathing.
The woman threw herself on the child's cold body, hugged the child's tiny body tightly, and cried out in a hoarse voice: "My son! How can you bear to leave your mother, son! If you speak, you will call your mother again."
A few people ran out of the infirmary, like her family members, and kept comforting them.
Watching the lively humanitarian next to him: "I recognize, she is Zhou from Anping Village, I heard that Zhou gave birth to this son at the age of forty, the day before yesterday suddenly had a high fever, came to the hospital to see it once, I didn't expect that the kung fu child would be gone for so two days, it's a pity!" ”
