Tea is most afraid of water, even if it is placed in a slightly humid place, it will be wet due to water vapor, which will cause the decline of tea quality, and may even be moldy and insects, so when storing tea, moisture prevention is the first priority.

Li Xiu followed Yuechan 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, otherwise a large amount of tea would be piled up together, and it would easily cause deterioration.

"Master, please see, these tea leaves sold to Hu Shang are kept in the herringbone warehouse, and the walls of the 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!" Yuechan smiled at this time and introduced to Li Xiu that when she designed these warehouses, she had also asked Li Xiu for some suggestions, but he had never come to see them.

"It's really well built, this is even higher than the granary of the imperial court!" Li Xiu looked at the treasury in front of him and couldn't help nodding again and again, after the imperial court collects a large amount of grain every year, it also needs to be stored in the granaries in various places, but those granaries are far from being able to compare with the tea warehouses in front of them in terms of construction specifications, which also leads to a batch of grain mildew due to poor storage every year, called balancing grain, and finally can only be disposed of half-sold.

"That's natural, our tea is much more expensive than grain, even if it is the lowest tea in the herringbone warehouse, a pound of tea can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of grain!" Yuechan heard Li Xiu's words, but she replied proudly again, maybe it was because she had been in contact with business for a long time, and she was influenced by Yi Niang, so that Yuechan now has the temperament of a little money fan.

Li Xiu looked at Yuechan's appearance as a fan of wealth, and couldn't help but smile at the moment, and then asked Yuechan to open the heavy door of the warehouse, and then pushed the door and walked in, only to see that the ground in the warehouse was much higher than the outside, and the ground was covered with wooden planks.

I saw that although the space of this warehouse was very large, it was already stuffed with cloth bags, each bag was bulging, and the whole warehouse carried a strong aroma of tea.

Li Xiu entered the warehouse along the specially left passage, looking at the tea bags piled high on both sides to the roof, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, if it weren't for the smallpox accident, these teas should have been transported to Central Asia, South Asia, and even West Asia and Europe through the hands of those Hu merchants, which also made him can't help but reach out and gently stroke these tea leaves that are about to embark on the Silk Road.

"Rustling~" Li Xiu's hand grabbed the tea leaves through the bag, and there was a rustling sound immediately, which made it seem that the tea leaves inside were very dry, but Li Xiu touched the tea inside and secretly said in his heart, "As expected."

"Yuechan, is this how you sell tea directly to those Hu merchants?" Li Xiu suddenly turned his head to Yuechan and asked.

"Yes, these are already packed in bags, and the amount of tea in each bag is the same, so that when shipping, you only need to calculate the algebra of the shipment!" Yuechan also replied immediately when she heard Li Xiu's inquiry, and a strange expression appeared on her face, because she felt that Li Xiu didn't seem to be satisfied with their approach.

Yuechan's feeling was still very accurate, and when Li Xiu heard her words, he immediately shook his head and said: "This is not good, you see that these tea leaves have not undergone any treatment, and a large bag of tea leaves is also very loose, very large, but the weight is very light, in this way, the transportation will also be very inconvenient, after all, those Hu merchants generally have to go through long-distance transportation before they can transport the tea to the destination for sale, if the tea occupies too much space, they can't transport much tea at a time!" ”

"This ......" Yuechan was also stunned when she heard Li Xiu's words, after all, the tea business has just begun to boom, and there are problems in many aspects, she and Yi Niang usually stay at home, and can only manage this huge industry through the following stewards, so it is normal for some places not to think about it.

"Yuechan, now the tea business is booming, and the tea shipped is in short supply, and as long as it is sold, we don't have to worry about transportation, but if we want to do the same business for a long time, we must think more about those who buy our tea, such as the problem that this tea occupies too much volume, we can find a way to solve it, so that those businessmen can transport more tea at a time."

Li Xiu also knew that Yuechan lacked experience, so at this time he patiently pointed out that he was also a person who had mixed in the shopping mall in his previous life, accumulated a lot of business experience, and read a lot of business-related works.

"Thank you for the master's guidance, the slave understands, but our tea leaves are originally fried, and they look distinct, and the tea leaves are very light, so it's probably not easy to reduce their size, right?" Yuechan nodded at first, and then frowned and asked the doubts in her heart.

"This is actually very simple, as long as these tea leaves are steamed in a pot to soften, and then they are pressed and compacted with something, and then a brick-sized tea leaf will weigh several pounds, which is heavier than our bag of tea!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Thanks to the blessing of his previous life, Li Xiu once went to one of the famous scenic spots in later generations, that is, the ancient tea horse road, where there are many records about the caravan transporting tea and exchanging good horses with the Tibetans, and the tea transported by the caravan is actually compacted tea bricks, and he also learned the approximate production process of tea bricks from those scenic spots.

"Put it in a pot and steam?" Yuechan was startled when she heard Li Xiu's answer, and then waved her hand again and again, "Master, this is not good, the reason why our tea is so popular, in addition to the efficacy of the tea itself, the most important thing is that we have a strict grading of the grade of tea, what grade of tea has what kind of price, and the tea is very delicate, and the fried tea is even more unbearable to a little moisture, otherwise it will deteriorate, if it is steamed in a pot, then the tea is not all ruined, where is there any grade at all?" ”

Yuechan's words also make sense, after all, you still have to have a conscience to do business, otherwise the quality of the product is too inferior, I'm afraid that after the customer buys it once, don't think about letting them be fooled again. However, Li Xiu smiled mysteriously at this time: "Yuechan, you are wrong again, although it is important to maintain the quality of your own goods, but what is more important is to see who you sell your goods to?" ”
