P.S. Sorry, I lost a chapter, and I made it up again.

In recent days, people in the village have also learned about the tea invented by Chen Xu, knowing that it is a kind of fried dried leaves, some people have also drunk it, and they are full of praise for the taste of tea, but rural people can't eat enough, so they are not particularly interested in tea, only know that it is very thirst-quenching and refreshing, but it is too troublesome to make.

Uncle Ma quickly finished a cup of tea, wiped his mouth and put down the cup and said, "Xiao Xu, if you have anything, just say it!" ”

"That's right, I asked Yu Wuya to bring some tea to the county town, maybe it will be sold for a good price, maybe he will come back again soon, so I need to prepare more tea, can you see if you can arrange it......"

"Isn't it just to help pick the tea leaves, such a trivial matter will be over if you say no, don't worry, I will arrange a few people to help you get all the tea leaves on the tree back in the next two days." Uncle Ma waved his hand and stood up to leave.

"No, no, I don't need Bai help, I'll pay......" Chen Xu hurriedly grabbed Uncle Ma and said.

"You baby, it's all from a village, pay a fart money, tomorrow I promise not to miss your business, I have to go back to repair the granary, let's go!" Uncle Ma's unhappy eyes widened, and he turned around and left.

"Hey, uncle, listen to me!" Chen Xu couldn't stop Uncle Ma when he was crying and laughing.

Uncle Ma sighed and looked at Chen Xu and said: "Xiao Xu, you really don't have to pay, I know that you are good for the villagers in the village, but you are just picking some leaves, and it will be done in a day or two. ”

Uncle Ma walked away with his axe and quickly disappeared into the strong sunlight.

Chen Xu stood under the pergola for a long time, and then turned around with a wry smile and continued to work.

Just now he was going to tell the price of the tea, so maybe Uncle Ma wouldn't refuse the salary.

Five hundred dollars a catty, this is the price of tea set by Chen Xu for Yu Wuya.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the currency, there was only one kind of coin allowed to circulate on the market, that is, the half tael coin with a round square hole, that is to say, the weight of a copper coin was half a tael, and half a tael was 8 grams in later generations.

In this way, if the tea is sold, one kilogram can be exchanged for four kilograms of copper coins, and one kilogram is equivalent to four kilograms of the Qin Dynasty, that is to say, one kilogram of leaves after the fry can be exchanged for sixteen kilograms of copper coins, which is converted into grain, that is, twelve stones, and at this time the grain yield per mu is only one to two stones, and the family works hard to plant more than ten acres of grain all year round, and in the end it is not worth a pound of leaves.

This way of making money is absolutely terrifying.

The psychological impact caused is also absolutely terrifying.

At this time, Chen Xu came back to his senses and thought about it, if he said it just now, Uncle Ma would be too frightened to kill himself with an axe.

And about the price of tea, Yu Wuya did not object, for those rich dogs in the big cities and those Confucian scholars and scholars who lecture and teach apprentices everywhere, just five hundred yuan is scum, they can cheat money anywhere, tea is a good thing that can refresh the mind and strengthen the body, it is definitely worth spending a lot of money.

Even in the later generations, although tea is a necessity of life, but it is also a luxury, even if it is the cheapest high-quality Mao Feng on the market, the price of a pound is about 100 yuan, a little better is three or four hundred yuan, expensive tens of thousands of dollars is normal, and the real big red robe can not be bought with money, must be high to the point that everyone looks up, the annual production of authentic big red robe in the country is only a few people can drink, so tea and food are also sky-high prices, However, the food of later generations was almost inexhaustible, and in this era, food was still a hard currency linked to money.

Chen Xu also thought about it for a few days, before deciding to set the price of a pound of tea at five hundred yuan, this price is not high or low, the dignitaries and nobles can drink, most of the Confucian scholars can also afford to drink, a little richer people can also drink a small fortune, the most important thing is that tea can be used for gifts, in later generations it is also a very high-end and elegant essential gift, as long as there is high-end demand, tea will naturally not worry about selling, there will always be someone who will do what it likes.

As for waiting until other people also get the tea out, the price of tea in the market will definitely drop sharply, and it is likely that the price will fall to the point of more than ten dollars a pound within a few years, but at that time they have earned the first pot of gold, and there is a commodity called boutique in any industry, as long as the high-end market recognizes the brand of Ziyunxian tea, it may still be sought after when it is sold for a thousand yuan a pound.

Of course, that's all for later!

"Xu'er~"

Just as Chen Xu and Niu Dashi continued to build the pergola, Chen Jiang hurriedly came back from outside with Xing'er in tow, with an anxious and worried look on his face.

"Xu'er, are you okay, did those people beat you just now?"

Chen Jiangshi pulled Chen Xu to look left and right, and found that his son was intact, and then he relaxed.

These days are the time when the wheat is ripe, a large number of birds and finches steal the wheat, so a group of children and women stay on the river beach every day to drive away the birds, by the way also with green vine and dried grass to weave rattan baskets, Chen Jiang and the apricots are also on the river beach to take care of the crops, after hearing someone notice, hurriedly ran back, found that everything as if nothing had happened.

"Brother, I heard that the young lady who was spanked by you last time is here again, she didn't bully you!" Xing'er also looked worried and concerned, for fear that her brother would be bullied.

"Haha, Xing'er don't worry, how could she bully me, I was going to spank her again this time, but I was afraid that it would scare her into crying, so I didn't fight, but Xing'er has to be good when she grows up, don't find someone to fight at every turn, and her little ass is swollen and she is beaten!" Chen Xu touched the little girl's head a few times and said with a smile.

"I don't fight with anyone, and no one wants to spank my ass!" The little girl covered her little ass and said.

"It's okay, next time I see that brutal girl, stay away!" Chen Jiang was very dissatisfied with the girl who kicked her baby son the last time they met, and after saying a few words, he pulled Xing'er and prepared to go to the river beach again.

"Mother, with such a big sun, you and Xing'er don't go to the river to catch birds, rest for a while and go to the village to ask a few aunts to come and help fry tea tomorrow, by the way, let them bring the big clay pots at home!" Chen Xu hurriedly said.

"No, they're all on the beach, I'll just talk to them later!" Chen Jiangshi nodded, pulled the apricot, and hurriedly left against the strong sun.

Alas~, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh again.

The dozen acres of wheat on the river beach, the harvest will not exceed 20 stones in a year, which is not worth it at all, but for people in this era, that is everything, and it is the only guarantee to survive.
