"Who are you selling to?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yuechan seemed confused, and pondered for a while before she spoke, "Master, although our tea is not as expensive as before, it is not cheap, those Hu merchants have traveled thousands of miles to transport tea to the Western Regions and other places, and the price is even higher, and those who can afford tea are probably not rich or expensive in the local area, these people should pay more attention to the quality of tea, right?" ”

"Hehe, it is true that there are rich people everywhere who can afford to buy tea, but the reason why some rich people buy tea is actually for different reasons, such as those nobles on the grassland, do you know why they buy our tea?" Li Xiu said with a smile again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This ...... The slave doesn't know, but I think I like to taste the taste of tea, right? Although Yuechan has read a lot of books and learned a lot of things from Li Xiu's side, she is a woman after all, she rarely goes out, and her knowledge is very limited, so she naturally can't answer Li Xiu's question.

"Haha~, those savages on the grassland don't know how to appreciate the taste of tea, the reason why they like tea is actually more simple and pure, because what they need is one of the basic functions of tea, that is, to relieve oiliness, because grassland people eat meat all year round, but eating too much meat will also have a considerable impact on people's bodies, such as not conducive to defecation, no appetite, etc., while tea can treat the problems caused by eating meat all year round, so for people on the grassland, tea is actually a necessary medicine!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.

"Yikes! Tea still has such an effect, no wonder those merchants who sell tea to the grassland say that tea is scrambled by countless grassland nobles on the grassland, and there is no worry about the market, sir, you are so knowledgeable! Yuechan's eyes lit up after listening to Li Xiu's explanation, and then she couldn't help but praise Li Xiu, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at him.

"Hehe, this is nothing, the grassland nobles have the most direct demand for tea, so they don't care about the taste of tea, as long as they drink it for a long time, they will naturally adapt, and in addition to the ransom buyers of tea such as the grassland nobles, another kind of buyer is even more worth playing!" When Li Xiu said the end, a playful smile also appeared on his face.

"What buyer, sir, say it quickly!" Yuechan also listened to it with relish at this time, and grabbed Li Xiu's arm and urged.

Seeing Yuechan's anxious appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile indifferently again, and then slowly spoke: "Compared with other places in this world, our Central Plains has always been a prosperous place, and the silk and porcelain produced in the past are worth ten thousand gold in the eyes of the outside aristocracy. The quantity is also very scarce, and the scarcity is expensive, which also makes more nobles rush to our Central Plains specialties! ”

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment and then said: "Tea is also a specialty of our Central Plains, and it is also transported to other places with silk and porcelain to sell, and the price is naturally not cheap, so in the eyes of those nobles, drinking tea will also become a symbol of their identity and status, plus the taste of tea is already good, and it also has various benefits for the human body, so it will open up sales in this short period of time, in other words, those nobles from the outside world drink not tea, but their identity and status, So the quality of the tea is not particularly important to them! ”

When Li Xiu said the above words, he suddenly thought of his experience in his previous life, as a post-80s generation of that generation, he saw the earth-shaking changes in China in later generations, and when China was just reforming and opening up, many people were proud of eating KFC and drinking coffee.

Even if KFC has been thrown into junk food later, drinking coffee and eating Western food is still considered by many people to be an elite life, but the sad thing is that people who have this kind of thinking are often not really elites, and this kind of person may not understand a truth until he dies, whether you can become an elite in human society is not based on what you eat and drink, but on what you have in your head!

"What they drink is not tea, but their identity and status!" After listening to Li Xiu's words, Yuechan couldn't help but repeat his last sentence, and chewed it several times in her heart, but her eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally hugged Li Xiu's arm again and said, "Master, what you said is so right, if I understood these truths before, I would definitely be able to do a better tea business!" ”

Yuechan is not only the big housekeeper in the family, but also Li Xiu's personal maid, usually his food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of by Yuechan, and even when he takes a bath, Yuechan helps him scrub, so Yuechan never shies away from Li Xiu, and his behavior is also very intimate.

But at this time, Li Xiu's arm was hugged by her, but it made him feel a little uncomfortable, because Li Xiu suddenly found that before he knew it, Yuechan had become a big girl, and now his arm was squeezed by two plump jade rabbits, which made him feel itchy in his heart, but fortunately, Yuechan didn't find anything strange about him.

After listening to Li Xiu's analysis, Yuechan also completely dispelled the worries in her heart, and immediately took the initiative to ask him about the production method of tea bricks, this is his own business, Li Xiu naturally will not hide his secrets, so he told everything he knows, although there are many kinds of tea bricks, but the production method is almost not much different, they are all fried tea leaves after steaming and pressing, so that a tea brick weighs several catties, saving a lot of space, allowing Hu Shang to bring more tea on the road.

Yuechan asked people to bring a unique pen and carefully memorized the methods that Li Xiu said, as Li Xiu's side, she also knew that although her master knew a lot, many of them had not been practiced, so the production of tea bricks still needed her to tell the people below to try to study it, but there should not be too many problems.

Finally finished talking about the tea bricks, Li Xiu followed Yuechan again with great interest, ready to go to the real tea workshop behind to see, now is the time to harvest summer tea, although the taste of summer tea is a little bitter, not as sweet and fragrant as spring tea, but the yield is very large, after all, the summer tea growth is relatively rapid, and the yield of tea is naturally higher than that of other seasons.

However, just when Li Xiu had already smelled a smell of tea mixed with charcoal fire, and was about to enter the roasted tea area in the workshop, he was suddenly stopped by Yuechan, and then saw her say with some twists: "Master, there is nothing to see about roasted tea, let's not go in, the slave will take you to see the others!" ”
