Finally escaping from the meeting hall, Xu Yang walked towards the backyard.

"Run, one, two, one, one, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four! One-two, three-four! ”

There was a loud slogan from the backyard, Xu Yang smiled and walked in.

I saw dozens of sturdy men wearing dark blue city control uniforms, jogging in the morning. The bald man in the lead saw Xu Yang coming in and shouted, "Stand!" Then he trotted towards Xu Yang.

"Hello Chief!" The bald man saluted a standard military salute, and there was a slight excitement in his tone.

"Mmmm, good training, Daguang, keep up the good work." Xu Yang looked at the straight strong men standing in the sun, and felt satisfied.

"Chief, you said you would stop training today and change to a new subject." The bald man scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

Xu Yang was suddenly embarrassed, and he forgot about this stubble.

"Well, a new training subject is being developed, it belongs to the shooting subject, you first train archery." Xu Yang's eyes rolled around.

"Hehe~" The bald man smiled heartily, "These brothers of ours are all selected from the mountains, all of them are hunting experts, and they can shoot arrows since childhood." ”

When Xu Yang heard this, his eyes lit up, it seemed that when he was looking for a family at that time, he really chose to go to those barren mountains, and each special soldier came with shooting skills.

Subsequently, Xu Yang sent his subordinates to bring dozens of bows and arrows and distribute them to the soldiers, turning the backyard into a temporary shooting range.

After a pause, everyone began shooting practice.

"First round, ready, shoot!"

"Woooo Dozens of sharp arrows burst through the air and plunged straight into the opposite target.

"Nine Rings!"

"Seven Rings!"

"Ten Rings!!"

"Second round, ready, shoot!"

"Eight Rings!"

"Seven Rings!"

"Ten Rings!!"

"Third round, prepare, shoot!"

"Seven Rings!"

"Six Rings!"

"Ten Rings!!"

After three rounds, a big man who hit the ten rings again and again attracted Xu Yang's attention, Xu Yang walked in front of him, looked at the big man carefully, and saw that he had a scar on his eye, which looked like it was abnormal, but his skin was not as rough as that of northerners, but it was a little bookish.

"What's your name?" Xu Yang stepped forward and asked politely.

The big man was a little flattered, hurriedly saluted, and said: "Looking back, the villain is a person from Longshan Township, Xianglian Town, Youzhou, surnamed Zhang, named Wu, and the word starts from step by step.

"Have you read a book?" Xu Yang looked at him and spoke a little like a literati.

"Well, the villain has studied private school in his hometown for five years." Dahan said respectfully.

"It's good to have read books, your shooting is good, did you learn it when you were a child?" Xu Yang stared at him with interest.

"Looking back, the villain was originally born in a family, and later the family fell into the middle of the road, and was framed, so he followed his father into the mountains to hide, and often lived by hunting in the mountains, and the scar on this eye was caught by the bear when hunting bears, so he practiced the ability to shoot arrows with one hand." Dahan's tone was a little lonely and a little proud.

Xu Yang clapped his hands and said: "Not bad, brave and strategic, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, come to someone, reward Zhang Wu, ten money, promote him to the leader of the Flying Tiger team, and arrange ten people under him." ”

When everyone heard this, they all cast envious eyes.

This strong man named Zhang Wu was also very excited, and knelt down and said: "The chief is gracious, and his subordinates are unforgettable." ”

Xu Yang waved his hand and said: "Since ancient times, capable people work harder, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, you work hard, and in the future, I will promote you again." ”

This also made Zhang Wu grateful to Dade again, and Xu Yang explained a few words to Biao Daguang, asking them to train archery first, and then sort out the subjects of shooting training by themselves in a few days, and then proceed to the next subject, and then go out of the backyard.

Out of the backyard, Xu Yang looked at his watch, it was already 11:53, his stomach was also a little hungry, and he didn't eat in the morning (because Xu Yang got up late every morning, so breakfast couldn't catch up with the people of the Liu family, Xu Yang was the same as later generations, breakfast often passed casually, and sometimes he didn't eat it), Xu Yang touched his stomach and prepared to go to the Datang Hotel to fight the tooth sacrifice, after all, the hotel also made the recipes of later generations, although there were no famous condiments such as chili chicken essence and other famous condiments in later generations, but it was much better than the chef in the house.

Just as Xu Yang was about to go out, he saw Liu Qi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, seeing him and running over.

"Young Master Xu, outside the gate, there is a young man who calls himself Zhou Duan who wants to see you, saying that he is here to work." Liu Qi was slightly panting.

Xu Yang patted Liu Qi's shoulder and said, "Hard work, Liu Qi, don't be in such a hurry next time." ”

Liu Qi grinned and said, "Childe's business is a big thing." ”

Xu Yang smiled, patted him on the shoulder again, and said, "Zhou Duan, I know this person, take me to see him." ”

"Okay~ Childe come with me." Liu Qi took Xu Yang and walked towards the gate.

When he arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, through the glass, Xu Yang saw that it was the young man selling tea he met in the Youzhou market yesterday.

"Open the door." Xu Yang Road.

The two porters opened the door.

I saw the young man standing at the gate in fear, and he was slightly relieved when he saw Xu Yang.

Xu Yang looked at the young man carefully, and saw that he had changed into a linen dress with fewer patches, but he still looked very bitter.

"Come in." Xu Yang said to him.

The young man's face was embarrassed, and he bowed down and clenched his fists and said carefully: "Young Master Xu, how can the villain He De walk through this welcome gate, it is better to enter through the small door next to him." ”

Xu Yang was a little dazed, this young man was really polite, so he said: "No, listen to me all here, don't care about these worldly etiquette." ”

When the young man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "My subordinates obey orders." ”

"Come with me." Xu Yang snapped his fingers and walked towards Liu's mansion.

The boy hurried to follow

Youzhou Liu Mansion, back garden.

Originally, the back garden of the Liu family's small family has been expanded to eight times the original size, and now it is no longer a back garden, with a variety of factories, a quarter of which are making glass, which is in full swing every day, and all kinds of glass products are constantly being produced, but it is still not in demand.

There is also a quarter of the bicycle factory, now the bicycle has been produced to almost 500 units, the whole Youzhou also knows that there is a bicycle this magical means of transportation, many rich businessmen have come to ask the Liu family when to sell, but Xu Yang still has no intention of selling.

There is also a quarter of the distillery, Xu Yang copied the distiller drawings from the Internet has now turned into a tall copper boiler, which continues to produce transparent and pure high-concentration liquor, compared to the Tang Dynasty those glowing green, floating with a layer of white spots turbid liquor I don't know how many times better, but also let many Tang Dynasty people play drunk crazy for the first time in their lives, and the yamen complained that the liquor was inconvenient for public security management as soon as it was listed.

The remaining quarter is something that Xu Yang has been working on recently, there is a small cement factory, which has been producing cement recently, laying the foundation for the construction of the stadium, and there is also a production base of the Datang Tea Alliance Company here, several open-air open-tops, dozens of cauldrons, and dozens of workers poured tea from the south into the cauldron and began to fry it.

Xu Yang took Zhou Duan to this place of roasting tea.

Zhou Duan was a little stupid looking at this hot scene, he had never told him that tea could do this since he was a child, and the deep-rooted idea that tea must be made into tea cakes dissipated instantly, and he eagerly watched how those workers operated.

I saw those workers heat the small iron pot to a certain temperature, and then put in more than half a catty of tea leaves to quickly rotate and stir-fry for a minute or two, which is called full pot rotation, and so the leaves are soft, when the leaves are dark green, raise the pot to reduce the temperature some, and then force the tea leaves to rotate in the pot, this is called with strength, when the leaves are shrunk into strips and sticky, then raise the pot and lower the temperature a little, fry until the tea leaves drill into the branches of the broom, fry several times repeatedly, and when the leaves are three or four dry, you can get out of the pot.

The color of the fried tea is dark green and curled into strips, exactly the same as the tea that Xu Yang drank in later generations, this method of roasting tea is still found by Xu Yang from the Internet, I didn't expect that the first time I let the chef in Liu's mansion operate to make good tea, Xu Yang is ready to produce such a large-scale production.

This roasted tea made Zhou Duan behind Xu Yang eager, and he couldn't wait to try what the tea brewed by this method of making zuò tea felt like.

Xu Yang had already seen Zhou Duan's thoughts, he snapped his fingers and asked Liu Qi to make a cup of tea for Zhou Duan.

Walked up with boiling water. Liu Qi put several glass cups, the crystal luster of the glasses surprised Zhou Duan, Xu Yang personally put in the tea leaves, Zhou Duan flushed the boiling water, and the tea leaves curled up into a ball slowly stretched out in the water, and the tea also became emerald green and transparent, looking like jade. But after a while, a light and distant tea fragrance spreads, and the smell is shocking.

"Huh? Good tea! What a tea! Zhou Duan sniffed while smelling the fragrance of tea, and praised loudly, he has followed his grandfather to buy and sell tea for so many years, and he has drunk countless good teas, as long as he smells the fragrance of tea, he can know the quality of this tea. The tea brewed from this roasted tea is definitely better than the tea he has drunk before. Zhou Duan's eyes lit up and stared at the teacup, if it weren't for Xu Yang's identity, he would have grabbed the cup first.

"Come on, let's try it, and see how this Huangshan Maofeng is?" Xu Yang beckoned and took the lead in taking a sip of a cup of tea. Well, it feels good, and it tastes similar to the tea sold on the street in later generations for a few dollars and a tael.

Zhou Duan saw that Xu Yang had already tasted it, so he couldn't wait to pick up the teacup, first put it under his nose and sniffed it a few times, with an intoxicated expression, and then slowly tasted it, until he finished drinking a cup of tea, then put down the teacup with an aftertaste on his face, and looked at Xu Yang with a look of awe. Liu Qi and Xu Yang's two bodyguards also took a sip, and they might not be used to it at first, but they slowly felt the benefits of roasted tea, and drank the tea with a happy face.

"Childe, this tea soup is bright, the aroma is high, the taste is slightly bitter at the beginning, gradually cool, sweet, after the aftertaste, it is simply the immortal tea of the heavenly realm, the villain dares to guarantee that there is no tea in this world can compare with this tea!" Zhou Duan bowed to Xu Yang.

"Hahaha~, it is worthy of many years of dealing with tea, it is indeed amazing, and the characteristics of this tea are said at once." Xu Yang smiled proudly, he just couldn't listen to others praise, and when others praised Xu Yang, he was a little carried away, "Zhou Duan, I will pass on this method of roasting tea to you, the tea produced here is made in this way, and you will be the deputy general manager of Datang Tea Alliance Company in the future, with a monthly income of thirty yuan." ”

"Thank you Xu Gongzi for your trust, the villain will live up to the trust of Gongzi." Although Zhou Duan had vaguely guessed the reason why Xu Yang let him stay, when he heard Xu Yang say it with his own ears, he was still excited and couldn't help himself. As a person who has been selling tea for many years, how can he not see the importance of this method of roasting tea, but Xu Gongzi of the Liu family did not hesitate to teach himself the method, which shows his trust in himself.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something again, and said: "Childe, this method of roasting tea must be kept secret, and the roasted tea can be handed over to a credible person, and then let people sell it on the market, and it will definitely be very profitable." ”

Xu Yang laughed and said: "I established the Datang Tea Alliance Company to make money, let all the officials follow me to make money, everyone makes money if they have money, it's better to be happy alone~ haha." Xu was very happy.

Immediately, Xu Yang thought of something and said, "With your understanding of the market, how should this tea be priced?" "For the price of tea, Xu Yang has not been decided, one is that he does not understand the Datang tea industry, and he does not know how much demand there is in the market, and it is not appropriate to set it high or low.

"This~?" Zhou Duan groaned for a moment, "The villain dares to ask, what is the yield of this tea?" ”

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with production? Xu Yangqi said.

"Yes, if the production of this tea is very small, then take the high-end route, and the price is not too much, but if the output is very large, the villain may wish to lower the price, so as not to sell all the tea!" An expert is an expert, and he is more thoughtful than Xu Yang, a layman.

"Well, this year's summer tea because of insufficient preparation, hurriedly transported from the southern sea, so there is only an output of two thousand catties, if the sales are good this time, after a while the tea is ready to expand the scale of the workshop, it is estimated that the output will increase several times." Xu Yang thought for a while and replied that tea can be picked all year round, and it can be divided into spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea and winter tea according to different seasons.

"In this way, the output of this tea is not small, it is not suitable for high-end sales, and now the best tea is only 800 Wen per catty, this tea is better than the tea on the market, and the price is best set between 1,300 and 1,800 Wen, and it must not exceed twice the highest price." Zhou Duan replied respectfully.

"Okay, then I'll sell it for a thousand yuan a catty, and it's easy to count."

When everyone heard this, they lowered the price by hundreds of Wen just for the convenience of counting, and it was really the lord of the wealth.
