Mu Zhonghai didn't leave when he came, he came to Li Dongsheng for tea and chat every day. It's boring to drink tea every day, Li Dongsheng also has to find something to kill time, so he quickly thought of something to pass the time, took Mu Zhonghai to take a fishing pole, and then took a few people to eat and found a place with a beautiful scenery to stop.

Li Dongsheng first found a shade to sit down, and then put the fish hook on the earthworm and threw it into the water, and sat there chatting with Mu Zhonghai while waiting for the fish to take the bait, Xiao Ju fanned him next to him, and lay on the grass for a while when his back was sore, and the two of them gossiped, Mu Zhonghai just wanted to have a good relationship with Li Dongsheng, although he didn't know how to fish, but he was also clumsy and learning. Suddenly, the fish in the water swayed up and down, Li Dongsheng hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and a one-foot-long carp had already been hooked, Xiao Ju laughed happily: "Okay, I have fish soup to drink tonight!" ”

Where else did Mu Zhonghai put an earthworm on the fish hook, he saw Li Dongsheng and said enviously: "Lord Li, you are really lucky, take the initiative to come up when you do anything!" ”

"What does your words seem to imply? What does it mean to take the initiative to come up? Li Dongsheng put the fish in a basket made of bamboo, and returned nonchalantly.

"You're licensed to specialize in fishing, aren't you? Judging by your casual appearance today, I guess the fish has already taken the bait, hehe. ”

In the end, it is the old rivers and lakes, Li Dongsheng said with a smile: "You can see it, my plan is really a failure!" ”

"Wrong, Master Li, I really admire your strategy, this is Yangmou, he put it there clearly, but as long as you are greedy, you will definitely take the bait. This strategy is aimed at the greed of human nature. ”

In the final analysis, Li Dongsheng made this tea like the tobacco of later generations, the state monopolized it, and the location was demarcated, anyway, the red line was drawn there, as long as you violated it, you will be punished! But the profits of tea are as huge as tobacco, so much that no one can feel at ease, as long as they catch it, Li Dongsheng can attack them.

At noon, he had dinner by the river, Li Dongsheng wanted to go to the Xiao family's tea workshop to see, the summer tea was about to be harvested, although the big households did not start to expand the planting, but the majority of farmers are not fools, anyway, they plant a little bit on the open land, and they can sell a little bit is a little.

Tea is the most afraid of moisture, as long as it is placed in a slightly humid place, it will be stained with moisture and damp, the quality of tea will decline, and there may be mold and insects, so when storing tea, moisture prevention is the first priority.

Li Dongsheng took Mu Zhonghai and followed Xiao Li to these warehouses where tea was stored, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a smell of lime, and he knew that the warehouse here definitely needed a large amount of lime as a desiccant.

Xiao Yan said: "Dongsheng, the walls of our warehouse are all mezzanine, and lime will be placed inside to prevent moisture, so that the tea inside can be preserved for a longer time!" ”

Li Dongsheng nodded: "I have some ideas about what I am doing now." ”

"That's what you said about doing a line of work, loving a line of work. Ha ha! "Xiao Li, this is a soft hand to receive money, and he is the only one who roasts tea, a monopoly! Seeing that a Hu businessman and Li Dongsheng came over with him, he had a good relationship, but he didn't dare to ask.

When I entered the warehouse, although this warehouse was very large, it was stuffed with cloth bags, all the bags were full, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

Mu Zhonghai came in to see it was also excited, things on the grassland could not escape his ears, as soon as he received the news, he came to Jiangnan, he thought that this tea was Li Dongsheng's own family's industry, who knew that it was Datang, but he decided that this was a thing that could make a lot of money, and it was worth his heart to do.

Li Dongsheng pinched it through the package with his hand, and there was a rustling sound inside the bag, that is, the tea was directly packed into the bag.

"Brother Xiao, you don't have any packaging for this tea? Just like grass? Li Dongsheng asked.

"yes, what's the problem? I've had a lot of brains, and each bag weighs the same, so I just need to count the bags when the time comes! Xiao Yan said with great interest.

Li Dongsheng said: "Tea can't be pretended like this, I didn't tell you last time, it should be divided into levels." How to divide it? First from the quality of the tea, and then the packaging, you have a big bag for people to resist home, what do those families think? Doing business is all about the details, and you have to distinguish things in every place! ”

"This ......" Xiao Li felt that Li Dongsheng had opened a window in front of him, and there was a new world outside. Mu Zhonghai is also envious, Li Dongsheng is talking about business secrets that no one knows in this era, and that guy is really lucky.

"Brother Xiao, don't look at the booming tea business now, as long as it is produced, it will be a snatch. And we don't have to worry about transportation, but we have to think differently about doing business, and think more about those who buy our tea, this problem of tea taking up too much volume, we can find a way to solve it, so that those merchants can transport more tea at a time. ”

"This is how to compress this production? When the time comes, it will be broken, and the price will no longer be able to sell. ”

"We can put these tea leaves in a pot and steam them softly, and then use a mold to press them tightly and compact, so that the volume of the tea leaves will be much smaller, and they will be easy to pack!" Li Dongsheng has traveled to Yunnan and Qinghai, knows the story of the ancient tea horse road, and also understands the production of tea bricks.

"Is that okay?" Xiao Zhen scratched his head and said: "Our tea itself is good, and the tea is afraid of moisture, and we usually have to avoid water, if we put it in a pot to steam, then the tea is not all ruined?" ”

"What are you talking about so much? Try it first! Li Dongsheng didn't bother to explain to him, saying that it was better to do it a hundred times.

"This Hu man 。。。。。" Xiao Yan was embarrassed and said, this matter is related to his family business and family status, and he doesn't want many people to know.

"Don't worry, he's richer than you! Besides, he can't receive tea, what are you afraid of! ”

Just do it, Xiao Lian called the workers over, and then according to Li Dongsheng's guidance, steamed the fried tea leaves with water to soften, and pressed the tea leaves into bricks with wooden boards, which is really more convenient to carry and transport than the tea leaves that are not pressed, and a horse can carry hundreds of catties more.

, Mu Zhonghai's eyes lit up: "Master Li, don't you know that this broken tea leaves around can do this?" ”。

"Yes, any tea can be!" Li Dongsheng said: "What, you have taken a fancy to this broken tea leaf?" ”

"Hehe, I'm thinking about how to promote this tea on the grassland, after all, the rich people on the grassland are a minority, now this broken tea is given to me, the price must be low, and then make it into a tea brick back, the transportation cost is also low, haha, when the time comes, you can make money by selling a little at will!"
