Chapter 149: Stir-fried Tea
Tang Rong's reaction made Qin Tian very confused.
"Madam, why don't you let Xianggong do the tea business?"
Tang Rong's cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "Because...... Because people can't bear you. ”
Qin Tian was stunned, he didn't seem to leave the capital to do the tea business, why was he reluctant?
But soon Qin Tian understood.
At this time, there were many merchants in the tea business in the Tang Dynasty, but if they wanted to make a lot of money, they all sold tea to the Western Regions, that is, they had to take the Silk Road.
And the entire Silk Road is very dangerous and far away, Tang Rong must have thought that he was going to take the Silk Road, so he said so.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian suddenly scratched Tang Rong's nose and said with a smile: "Little fool, you are a husband and I want to sell fried tea, but if you don't go to a broken place like the Western Regions, you can rest assured." ”
Hearing that her father-in-law did not go to the Western Regions, Tang Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously: "Xianggong, what is fried tea?" ”
Qin Tian shrugged: "It's just to fry the tea leaves, so that when you drink tea again, you don't need to boil the ginger or anything together, you only need to use boiling water to brew the tea leaves and drink it." ”
Tang Rong was a little puzzled, can you drink the tea leaves soaked in boiling water?
However, Qin Tian didn't mean to explain anymore, Tang Rong and the others had just come back, and they hadn't seen her for a long time, so it was better to go back to the room first and talk about the two of them.
The night passed like this, and the next morning, Qin Tian was not in a hurry to go to Jingzhao Mansion to report, in his opinion, before he bought a house in the capital, Jingzhao Mansion should not be too anxious to go.
Otherwise, you have to start ordering, you can stand it, and the weather is slowly getting cooler, and the long-distance travel is really unbearable.
Therefore, after getting up in the morning, Qin Tian just ordered someone to buy a lot of tea leaves, but these tea leaves were unprocessed, and the price was relatively cheap in comparison.
After the tea was bought, Qin Tian began to make tools for roasting tea.
These tools are not easy to make, he needs to draw the figures, and then hand them over to the blacksmith to build, fortunately, Tie Niu is a blacksmith, so Qin Tian handed it over to him directly.
It took Tie Niu a day to create the tea stir-fry tool that Qin Tian wanted.
After the tea stir-fry tool was created, Qin Tian roasted tea in the backyard, and in one day, he also fried a lot of tea leaves.
These tea leaves are fried and dried, and they are basically ready to use.
At dusk, a sunset appeared in the sky of Qinjia Village, which was beautiful like a dream.
Qin Tian took a bag of tea to the bedroom.
"Xiaoqing, go get a pot of hot tea."
Xiao Qing hurriedly took the order to retreat, and after a short time brought a pot of hot tea, Qin Tian put the tea leaves into the cup, and then poured hot water.
Soon, the fried tea leaves slowly spread out in the hot water, and the hot water gradually turned brown, making people want to drink it and taste it.
Tang Rong watched the magical changes in tea from the side, and was surprised.
"Xianggong, can you drink it then?"
Qin Tian bowed: "That's right, you can drink it this way, Madam will try it after taking a sip." ”
Tang Rong took a shallow sip of the teacup, and when she drank it, there was a faint bitterness, but soon, there was a tea fragrance lingering on the tip of her tongue, which could not be dispersed in her throat, which was really comfortable.
Tang Rong drank a cup of tea in a row before finally giving up.
"Xianggong, this kind of tea is not only convenient to drink, but also tastes very good."
"Madame is right, this kind of tea has a great advantage in the market, if it is sold, it will soon be able to monopolize the market, and the tea will be profitable, I think soon we will have the money to buy a good house in the capital."
Tang Rong nodded again and again, she didn't doubt this, after all, they still had a business of drunken beauties and flower water.
---------------------
After the roasted tea is ready, the next thing to do is how to sell the roasted tea.
As a new product in tea drinks, it is not easy to be known by the people of Chang'an City as soon as possible, and they are willing to pay for it.
Because people's tastes actually have preferences and inertia, if a person is used to drinking one flavor, let him drink another taste, he may not be used to it.
Just like Qin Tian, he used to drink the tea of the previous life, and when he suddenly drank the tea of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't like it, so the people of the Tang Dynasty drank their own fried tea, whether they were used to it, I am afraid that it is not easy to say.
Although Tang Rong likes it, who knows what about the others?
Therefore, Qin Tian decided to start from two aspects, if the effect of these two aspects is not bad, it will be relatively easy to promote fried tea.
After making up his mind, Qin Tian asked Hu Shibai to go to Chang'an City with him with tea.
Hu Shibai and Tie Niu are both strong people with great strength, and once they are killed, they are also very fierce and fierce, but in normal times, the difference between the two of them is still very big.
Tie Niu usually doesn't speak much, but suddenly he is easy to get angry, Hu Shibai is relatively better-tempered, otherwise it would not be possible to be beaten like that in Sihaiju and not fight back.
So relatively speaking, if he comes out to do something, Qin Tian prefers to take Hu Eighteen with him, because he doesn't cause trouble, and he won't suddenly do anything to others, and more importantly, he is relatively obedient and handsome than Tie Niu.
The Iron Bull is too scary to bring out.
After the two entered Chang'an City, they went to the Qin Palace.
Li Shimin has been busy with one thing in the past two days, and when he saw Qin Tian coming, he was a little curious.
"Why are you here?"
"Send a good thing to the prince."
"What's good?"
"Tea."
Li Shimin had a trace of doubt in his heart, what kind of good thing is tea, he has a lot of this thing in his palace, it is not rare at all, okay?
However, thinking of the things that Qin Tian had made before, he still endured it and said, "Oh, what kind of tea is actually called a good thing by you?" ”
Qin Tian smiled and took out a bag of tea: "Lord Wang, you only need to put this tea in a cup, pour boiling water and drink it, and it tastes very good." ”
Hearing that Tang Mu said that the tea was so magical, Li Shimin immediately sent someone to bring boiling water to try it.
After the tea was brewed, he took a shallow sip, and after drinking it, he did feel that it was a little better than the previous tea, but the taste was lighter.
But the fragrance of that tea is even stronger.
"Good tea, good tea, good tea you got from?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian and asked, it is so convenient, and the tea fragrance is not destroyed, he really likes it.
Qin Tian saw that Li Shimin liked it, and his heart was overjoyed, and he said, "Lord Wang, this is fried by the lower officials." ”
"You got it? Okay, okay, give this king a few dozen catties. ”
"Lord Wang, isn't a few dozen catties cheap?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned: "Do you still want money?" ”
The 8th is to ask for a reward for collecting recommended tickets
