Chapter 30: Dragon's Tongue

Now listening to stories every night has become a rare and indispensable entertainment activity for the Gao Qianxue sisters at night, just like watching a drama and listening to a play. And as Ling Yun no longer only tells fairy tales, Gao Qianxue no longer just heard and laughed. She began to find a few maids who could write and write, and began to memorize these stories one by one seriously, especially long stories such as the Three Kingdoms. After the recording, the high and shallow snow was even more amazing. It was hard for her to imagine how Ling Yun knew so many stories. And, it's not just a story anymore. If these stories have been there for a long time, it can be seen that she has never heard of them as well-informed, which can only show that Ling Yun's knowledge is wider than her, and it also indirectly shows that Ling Yun's identity is by no means ordinary. And if these stories were written by Ling Yun himself, it would be even more remarkable.

Later, Gao Qianxue didn't just use these as an after-dinner pastime, she copied and compiled them preciously, and then handed over these manuscripts to the old ministers of the Gao family. When Gao Bo, the housekeeper who used to be an official to the Northern Qi Dynasty and rode to serve high-ranking officials, saw these manuscripts for the first time, he didn't believe that these were from Ling Yun's hand. The Horseman was a noble position, a royal advisor to the emperor. Truly well-informed and knowledgeable.

"Who is Uncle?" All the old people who had read the manuscript couldn't help but sigh, and then asked Gao Qianxue for a manuscript. Gao Qianxue's maid who copied the book was too busy at all, so several old people began to find someone to copy it themselves. Gao Bo's favorite is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although the plot of the generals fighting alone in it makes the former royal advisor feel a little exaggerated, but the power and tactics in it make him fascinated. Uncle Zhang's favorite is Journey to the West, he is a believer in Buddhism, and he is quite fascinated by the story of learning scriptures from the West in Journey to the West. Although the Tang monk written in this book is a Tang Dynasty monk he has never heard of, this does not prevent him from reading it every day as if he had obtained a treasure. And Uncle Qian, the doctor in the village, likes the god list the most, in fact, Uncle Qian believes in it, so the god list is like a god book to him. Gao Ding, who is recuperating from his injuries, is also obsessed with reading these days, he was originally a Praetorian Guard captain, usually dances with swords and swords, rides horses and opens bows, and his least favorite thing is to read, as soon as he sees a book, he feels dizzy. But since he heard Gao Yi, who came to visit him, tell a short story about the Water Margin, he immediately admired the Liangshan heroes who were in the Song Dynasty for the heavens, although he thought that the Song Dynasty was Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty.

However, to the dismay of these readers, these books are really good, but they don't have a complete manuscript. Most of them only have ten or twenty chapters, and when they first saw it, they didn't have it anymore. They ran to find the maids who copied the book by Gao Qianxue, but how could the maids have a complete manuscript, and they also recorded the story relayed by Mulan Qinglian. But Lingyun can't tell a lot of stories in a day, but he will talk about this book today, and he will talk about that book tomorrow. As a result, those story fans of Gaojiazhuang Lingyun are now like Gao Bo, and they are happy and miserable all day long. The manuscripts were almost rotten, but sometimes a new chapter was added to each day.

Later, Gao Bo and the others finally couldn't wait, and from time to time they found an excuse to come to the tea room, and immediately after the cold noise, they asked about the follow-up plot. Hearing that Gao Bo and they have all become his own readers, Ling Yun was really a little surprised. From this day on, Gaojiazhuang has one more night activity. Every night after dinner, everyone rushed to the big warehouse in front of them, and sat in line together to listen to the uncle tell everyone a book, which was somewhat similar to the common words of the monks in the temple, but it was better than the temple speaking. The people of the Sui Dynasty really didn't have much nightlife, let alone entertainment, especially in rural estates like Gaojiazhuang. In the past, after everyone had a full meal, at most, it was a short time for the parents, chatting about trivial things, and then washing and sleeping early.

Now, they suddenly found that there is such a good storyteller, naturally no one wants to miss it. Every night, the warehouse was full, all waiting to listen to Ling Yun's story. Because of the different ages of the audience, in order to meet everyone's needs, Ling Yun even had to make a program schedule, telling a two-hour story every night, starting with two fairy tales, and then telling a little bit about the Journey to the West of the Three Kingdoms to meet everyone's different tastes. But unexpectedly, even if Ling Yun started to tell fairy tales, in addition to the children in the village who listened to it with relish, those adults also listened attentively. Whether it is a myth like Journey to the West, a hero like the Three Kingdoms Water Margin, or even a Red Mansion in the West Chamber, men and women all like it very much.

Storytelling at night has become Lingyun's daily task, and with it, Lingyun's popularity in the village has soared rapidly, and he is simply a national idol in Gaojiazhuang, and even three-year-old children have to pester him to talk about two tigers or Little Red Riding Hood when they see him.

However, during the day, Ling Yun was still busy making tea.

Now he has basically figured out the process of new tea, and taught a group of people in the village, and a brand new tea-making workshop has also been built in the village, with all the hands and equipment. Although Mulan always said that she would be responsible for roasting tea, Lingyun was really willing to let them be roasted tea workers in the future. In the end, I picked a few children from the old man in the village, and the teenagers who were born in the family learned to roast tea and make tea. The workshop is also located in the village, and is guarded by a family guard to ensure the confidentiality of the new tea process.

Finally, the name and packaging design of the new tea, Lingyun has already been prepared. Tea is green tea, and the variety should belong to the category of silver needles. After the tea leaves are made, they are round and green, like pine needles, with white hair, and they are tightly straight. The color, flavor and shape are good, especially after brewing, the brown color is green and clear, the aroma is elegant, the taste is mellow, and the aftertaste is sweet. Even Uncle Qian judged from a professional perspective that this new tea is often drunk, which has the effects of quenching thirst and clearing the mind, eliminating food and diuresis, lowering lipids and losing weight, curing asthma, removing phlegm, removing annoyance and greasy.

Such a good tea, of course, has to have a matching name, and it has to be elegant, atmospheric, high-end, and high-grade. It must not just be an ordinary Liuhe silver needle, or a popular name like Shifeng Green Tea. Ling Yun thought about it for a long time, and finally named this new tea dragon tongue. There is a kind of tea called bird's tongue, and Lingyun will directly have a dragon's tongue. The world's top famous tea, Monttop stone flowers and purple bamboo shoots, are extraordinary just by looking at the name. The dragon's tongue brings a dragon family, and there is a sense of nobility that is invisibly contaminated with the royal atmosphere. Thinking about the future generations and Nestle and agave, it sounds good. As for the packaging, the tea leaves are easy to get wet and the aroma is volatile, so it is important to seal the packaging. And the best tea must have high-end packaging. In the end, Lingyun chose to customize a batch of high-grade porcelain to make the packaging in several types of packaging such as bamboo tubes, wooden tubes, paper bags, pottery and porcelain. The beautiful porcelain is printed with a beautiful woman picking tea, accompanied by a beautiful line of tea names, and even an advertising slogan. He has thought of the advertising words, the incense is divided into flowers and dew, and the water draws the spring in the stone. This was originally a couplet in many teahouses in later generations, and Ling Yun intended to print it directly on the porcelain tea caddy.

Tea is not much different, and the reason why there are high and low is that it is more attached to cultural value. In layman's terms, tea is actually fried, and it has to go through both the process of roasting tea and the process of hype. The fried is good, the reputation is high, and it is naturally worth a thousand gold. Long's tongue is a new tea, which belongs to the silver needle in green tea, produced in Liuhe Mountain, and is not famous in itself. But this is the first tea made by the Sui Dynasty with the new technology of roasted tea, so it is naturally different. This kind of tea, if you want to go, take the high-end route, exquisite packaging, new frying technology, and even a new way of making tea and drinking tea, to a revolution in tea culture. To push the dragon's tongue up, it is naturally best to go from the top down. From the beginning, it positioned high-end tea and attacked the upper class of consumers, so as to lead the entire tea market.

During the meal, Ling Yun proposed to Gao Qianxue that it was best to expand the new tea roasted tea workshop, and it was best to build as many new workshops as possible, and at the same time recruit new people to train roasted tea.

"Didn't the husband say that this new tea should take the high-end route, be made into a luxury product, and even make a brand? If this is the case, then we should pay attention to the quality of tea and packaging and promotion, and the output of tea is unlikely to be too much for a while, right? Gao Qianxue wondered, high-end also means scarce, scarce is expensive, if it is all over the street, what is it called high-end. Therefore, high-end luxury is often rare.

"Of course, we want to strive to make longan tongue into a top-grade high-end tea, but the market for mid-to-low-grade tea is also huge. We are now striving to make the longan tongue into high-end tea, but if the longan can be made into high-end tea, then it can play a brand effect. At that time, we will launch low-end tea, and we only need to take another name, such as beauty tongue, finch tongue, etc., which will inevitably make a lot of profits. Therefore, let's make preparations now, otherwise, after the fried tea making method becomes popular, I am afraid that a large number of tea merchants will come to us and seize the fried tea market. ”

Although no one knows how to roast tea yet, Ling Yun will not think that this technology will be kept secret when the roasted tea is on the market. The Sui people just hadn't seen this new type of tea before, and as soon as this kind of roasted tea appeared, tea merchants would definitely follow the research and development of new technologies. The direction is pointed out, and the technical barriers are not too big a problem. At best, they can maintain some technological advantages, but they can't really monopolize the new technology. Therefore, it is necessary to make money as soon as possible, new technology brings new business opportunities, and Lingyun's goal is to use new technology to skid-drive business opportunities and make a lot of money. Seize the business opportunity and launch its own high, medium and low grades of brands in the new roasted tea.

"Yi Lang is really far-sighted, take one step and see three steps." Gao Qianxue's eyes flowed, and she looked at Ling Yun with the posture of a child.

This made Ling Yun a little moved, during this time he was busy developing new tea, and Gao Qianxue was busy with her rebellion, so that until now, the couple has not officially married. Perhaps, it's time to finish that unfinished wedding. How can such a flower-like wife be put aside all the time, isn't this a tyrannical thing.
