On the edge of the West Market, a spacious courtyard sits not far from the street.

This is where the Persian maritime merchant Hameidi settled in Chang'an City.

After staying in Chang'an City for a few months, he has thoroughly seen the strength of Datang and strengthened his determination to stay in Datang.

In the whole world, only Datang can resist the expansion of cannibalism, and only by staying in Datang can he be safe.

Of course, he didn't have any dealings with the Wei Chi family.

Hamedi made a generous move, and there was a letter from Yu Chihuan, and the Wei Chi family now accepted this maritime merchant attached to his house.

"Master, it's a freshly baked doughnut, and the black tea you drank yesterday."

Saraj personally went to the bread of the West Market and prepared breakfast for Hamedi.

Since coming to Datang, the food in various restaurants has become Hamedi's favorite.

For breakfast, he only eats what is sold in the bread new language.

As a servant, Saraj was naturally well aware of Hamedi's habits.

"Yesterday, when I went to the tea restaurant on the second floor of Bread Xinyu, I found that the black tea next to me was added with milk, you go and buy some fresh milk back, I will see how this black tea is mixed with milk and drunk, how it tastes."

The taste of Hamedi's tea is still not quite the same as that of the people of Datang.

For example, the Longjing fragrant tea, he actually felt that he was not very accustomed to drinking it.

The clear soup is low and watery, and it always feels like something is missing.

So he used to add a little frosting to it, so that it would be easier to eat.

Since discovering that there is also black tea, Hamedi immediately abandoned Longjing fragrant tea and drank black tea every day.

He thinks that black tea with icing tastes very good.

"Master, the milk house is prepared every day, so I'll make a new cup of milk tea."

Saraj's ability to gain the trust of Hamedi is not just because of loyalty.

Sometimes, it is also very important to be able to serve people and have eyes.

Soon, a cup of milk tea appeared in front of Hamedi that looked like it had made him appetite greater.

Hamedi couldn't help but pick up the doughnut, took a bite first, and then couldn't wait to pick up the teacup and eat it with milk and black tea.

The doughnuts are originally sweet, and when they are combined with milk black tea with added frosting, many people may find it strange if they are Tang people, but Hamedi thinks it is very compatible.

It seems that except for the people in the Confucian cultural circle in East Asia, there will be people who like green tea, and the other Hu barbarians prefer other ways to drink tea.

"Saray, you can also taste it and see what you think of this black tea."

These days, after settling down in Chang'an City, Hamedi is also starting to think about opening up new businesses.

Although the sea trade is very profitable, if he is a Hu person, if he simply transports things from Nanyang to Chang'an, he must have no advantage.

In order to maintain his net worth, Hamedi must find a new purpose for development.

And the black tea in front of him is really a choice that makes him moved.

To test whether his idea was correct, he first asked his servants to try something as fresh as milk tea. 2k

"This black tea has only recently appeared in Chang'an City, but the shop that sells black tea has been in full swing for the past two days, and many noble ladies have arranged for their maids to buy black tea. As for the pound of black tea we bought at home, it was transferred from someone else's hand at a high price. ”

Saraj didn't really sit down to eat, but was keenly aware of what her master meant.

"So, black tea is now difficult to buy even if you have money?"

Hamedi couldn't help but frown.

This is not what I want to see.

"Yes, because of the recommendation of bread Xinyu, the nobles and daughters of Chang'an City have liked to drink black tea, and I heard that even the nobles in Daming Palace also like to eat a piece of bread Xinyu in the afternoon, and drink a cup of black tea, which is called afternoon tea."

Saraj is very concerned about all kinds of things that happen in Chang'an City.

Although his reading and writing skills are relatively average, he still insists on reading the latest newspapers such as "Datang Daily" and "Chang'an Evening News" from beginning to end every day, and even "The Sun", "Moon News" and other side newspapers, he did not miss them.

So don't look at him as a Persian, when it comes to familiarity with Chang'an City, many ordinary people are not necessarily comparable to him.

"Sarai, you said that we sold this black tea to the Great Food, to Egypt, and even to the Byzantine Empire, will the people there like it?"

As a Persian maritime merchant, Hamedi knew more about the situation west of Persia than most of the Tang people.

At this time, the West was not limited to the two great powers of Great Food and Persia, but also to the west, there were many countries such as Egypt, Byzantium, Syria and the Kingdom of the Franks.

In the past, the most Hamedi did was to go to Nanyang or Guangzhou, and sell Oriental goods to Dashi or Egypt in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver.

Now the big cannibal has left himself behind and wants to go it alone.

Not only that, but they also monopolized most of the business in the West.

Unless they can find something they can't buy, there is no way to continue the business with Big Food.

And this black tea, at present, may become something that can't be bought by big cannibals.

After all, black tea is not like other teas, and it is produced in many places in Datang.

Judging from the current situation, only the Lin family black tea shop sells this unique tea, as long as you start quickly enough, at least in the past few years, the black tea business is still promising.

Those people in the West, although they still don't know much about tea.

But after Hamedi tasted black tea himself, with his understanding of these people, black tea must have a market in the West.

"Master, there must be a chance to sell it, but it is a bit risky to go such a long way by sea."

Saraj looked at Hamedi with some concern.

finally settled down in Datang, to be honest, Saraj didn't really want to continue to live a life of drifting on the sea.

"The biggest overseas trade of Datang is the fishing industry in the East China Sea. Although the East China Sea fishery is the industry of the Chu Wangfu, but the bread Xinyu is also closely related to the Chu Wangfu, and the bread Xinyu can accept black tea, which shows that the Chu Wangfu does not attach great importance to black tea, and I think we can cooperate with the East China Sea fishery. It's really not good, it's okay to cooperate with other fleets, in short, it's best for us to pull the Tang people to do it together, and each of them can play to their own advantages. ”

Hamedi even wants money to be earned together.

To the north of Puluozhong, it must be the most powerful power of the Tang Dynasty.

But after Puluozhong, the Tang people are not as familiar as themselves.

Only by giving full play to each other's strengths can this business last.

"Since the master thinks so, then I also think that the black tea trade can be done!"
