Section 219 Qinwang Weifu Chamber of Commerce Street [Asking for a monthly ticket]
Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce!
Li Yuanxing raised his legs and stepped into the door, this move relieved everyone, and the people on the street could rest for a while. Those who are arranged in other chambers of commerce can also breathe a sigh of relief, and it is much easier to shift the focus of protection to one store.
The fragrance of tea in the store is different from that of later generations, and in the modern tea shops of later generations, there is more fragrance.
"What do guests want to see?" The shopkeeper greeted him.
"Just take a look!" Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded.
The shopkeeper welcomed Li Yuanxing to the shelf: "Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce, there are five types of tea bricks here." After that, he explained for Li Yuanxing: "The old-fashioned black bricks, the flower tiles of the ceremonial costume!" ”
Li Yuanxing noticed that there were at least more than a hundred brick teas on this shelf.
The shopkeeper continued: "The top five black bricks are on the shelves, and the three best tiles are on the middle shelves. The rest that are not ranked are being taken off the shelves, and the prices are naturally different. The top and most famous black bricks of the tea shop have a three-fold price difference with the worst! ”
Li Yuanxing nodded silently, the only thing he knew about brick tea was Pu'er.
But Li Yuanxing doesn't know if there is Pu'er tea in this era. It seems that we should go back and check the history, Pu'er is definitely a good tea, at least in Li Yuanxing's eyes.
Seeing Li Yuanxing stepping into another shelf, the shopkeeper began to introduce again.
"Guest officer, please see, this one is a light brick. It is made by Bashu tea merchants who learn from Chang'an Tea Shop, and the tea is pressed loose, left green, and the tea soup is blue-green after fine grinding. This Bashu firm is not as good as the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, but just learning to make it. After learning seven or eight points, the tea is first-class, and the price is a little worse! ”
Li Yuanxing nodded again, this may be the raw material of matcha in the Tang Dynasty played in later movies, if the brick tea is pressed tightly, it is naturally impossible to have green.
"This is the green brick that our Bashu firm has researched by itself." The shopkeeper picked up the most haode green brick and showed it to Li Yuanxing, Li Yuanxing took it in his hand, and felt that this was at least half lighter than the black brick, and a little heavier than the light brick just now.
The shopkeeper continued: "The green bricks of our Bashu are different from the green bricks of other tea chambers. This one uses old green tea and black tea offcuts. Tea aroma. The taste is also good. Only one-third of the old black bricks, since the opening, in just a few days, three thousand have been ordered!
How many are 3,000?
Li Yuanxing was embarrassed to ask. If you think about it, there must be dozens of catties.
Just as Li Yuanxing was about to continue to look back. In a small cubicle next to it, I suddenly heard someone slapping heavily on several cases. Then he yelled: "Drop one penny, five hundred!" ”
The bargaining is really imposing, Li Yuanxing smiled. If someone haggles, it means that the business is about to be successful.
But I heard an unhurried voice say: "This one, drop a penny, you can!" ”
"No, I just want that old black brick from Bashan, not this old black brick from Sword Pavilion!" The rough voice became louder and louder, Li Yuanxing nodded silently, Datang has begun to have brand awareness. Shop around, and the Bashan tea shop seems to be higher in quality than the one called Jiange.
The shopkeeper who received the guests was still unhurried to repay the price with the other party.
One brick is one penny, for the tea industry, this is already a huge spread, so naturally if you care about it, it will be doubled.
Li Yuanxing had no intention of bargaining there, raised his feet and continued to walk back, and asked casually: "How many baskets do you sell this year!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and replied a little embarrassedly: "This is the above matter, I am just a small shopkeeper of the storefront." The worry is to let the guests look at our tea, and those big things are really unknown. However, when I took stock last night, I heard the big shopkeeper say that if there are 5,000 black bricks and 10,000 green bricks this year, you can have a good year! ”
It seems that the number of one is not small, at least more than fifty tea bricks.
In fact, Li Yuanxing still doesn't understand that the brick tea of the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce is divided into two types: large bricks and small bricks. The big brick is called five or eight bricks, that is, fifty-eight bricks are contained in one brick, and the weight is almost one load.
The small bricks are ninety-three stones, called ninety-three bricks, and the weight is almost a load.
It's just that the Bashu people are difficult to walk, and it is impossible to use a burden, so it is relied on people to carry it out with a back, so tea merchants are used to calculating the quantity and weight with a horsetail, and the weight unit of the Datang standard, Dan! It's about 1 to 0.94.
Suddenly, Li Yuanxing saw a plate of tea leaves and stopped.
"Guest officer, this is some new tea, ready to be sold to wealthy families in Chang'an. The original tea that is sun-dried and has no bricks. ”
Li Yuanxing took a closer look at the tea, one bud and two leaves were beginning to unfold, the tea shape was tight and evenly rolled, and it was all covered with silver quill. Picked up a piece and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but say: "Wanchun Silver Leaf!" ”
What is Wanchun Silver Leaf? The shopkeeper didn't understand, but he wrote it down, and what could make His Royal Highness King Qin open his mouth to comment, no matter what it was, it was worth writing down.
Li Yuanxing put the tea in his mouth again, and then shook his head gently: "It's a pity, it's a pity that this is a good tea." ”
"The guest officer said it's a pity, can you teach a lesson or two!" The shopkeeper has been a child of a tea farmer since he was born, and now he is almost forty years old, and he has been dealing with tea all his life, and this tea is from his hometown.
Li Yuanxing smiled, thinking about what he didn't know much about tea.
"This tea should be produced in Mengshan, and this mountain is named after the rain and mist!" Li Yuanxing was talking according to his memory. The shopkeeper was excited and grabbed Li Yuanxing's sleeve: "The guest officer is very knowledgeable, and the guest officer is very knowledgeable." When Bai Erwa felt nervous because someone touched Li Yuanxing, the shopkeeper took a step back and saluted: "Please ask the guest officer to teach, please invite the guest officer to teach!" ”
"I don't know much, don't be surprised if you say the wrong shopkeeper!" Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to help.
Originally, seeing the shopkeeper's gaffe, the big shopkeeper who was about to come out heard Li Yuanxing's words, and he also stopped and didn't dare to approach again.
Li Yuanxing held the tea leaves in his hand and said: "This tea should be five kinds according to the picking season: yellow buds, stone flowers, nectar, Wanchun silver leaves, and jade leaves Changchun. It's a pity that this tea is gone. Even if I tell you the exact time and method of picking, you won't be able to make five kinds of tea. ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he was drunk with these five names alone.
When Li Yuanxing shook his head, the shopkeeper ran to the back hall like crazy, and then there was the sound of the back hall cabinet falling to the ground. Before Li Yuanxing could understand what was happening, the shopkeeper rushed to Li Yuanxing, and Porphy knelt down and held a wooden box in both hands.
The big shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.
He knew that this was the shopkeeper who wanted to learn the tea technique of His Royal Highness King Qin, but unfortunately the gift he took out was too light. Wooden box he knew. It was filled with tea. Although it is good tea. But in front of King Qin, what kind of tea in the world can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin, to know the immortal tea of King Qin's mansion, tea merchants ask for a cup. None of them may be obtained.
Then. Li Yuanxing took the box. Slowly open.
It was a round lump of tea, dark red and black, with golden tea lines on it. A strange scent came.
Suddenly, Li Yuanxing remembered a piece of tea cake collected by the tea-loving cabinet master, who has always regarded it as a treasure, and the taste is compared to this, and the cabinet master can be thrown into the ditch.
But this is the kind of tea, Li Yuanxing can be sure with his intuition, this is the same kind of tea.
It's just that future generations can't make such a natural tea cake anyway. Not because of the process, but because of the tea plant. Li Yuanxing heard the cabinet master say that there is a kind of tea in Yunnan, which has always been called wild tea. But the locals rumored that it was the tea tree planted by Zhuge Wuhou back then.
Many natives still call Zhuge Kongming the ancestor of tea!
It can be said that one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people. The tea trees in Sichuan have undergone changes in Yunnan over the years. From the ordinary tea tree to the magic, the tea produced is naturally the best of the best.
"This tea, in the land of the Southern Barbarians?" Li Yuanxing asked, and the shopkeeper nodded.
Li Yuanxing asked again: "It is rumored that this tea was planted by Zhuge Wuhou in the Han Dynasty?" The shopkeeper looked surprised, and nodded vigorously again: "What you said is extreme, this is a tea cake pressed by my father, and it is from those tea trees!" ”
Li Yuanxing silently closed the box: "I accepted this gift." After saying this, Li Yuanxing turned around and walked out, holding the wooden box in one hand, which was called a kind of Pu'er raw tea by the cabinet master Wuhou Shen Tea.
No one can understand Li Yuanxing's mood at this time, not even Wu Cao.
When I saw this tea, it wasn't because this tea was precious enough, or because I could bring a high-quality gift to the cabinet master. But Li Yuanxing thought that during the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang could bring the tea culture of the Central Plains to the land of Nanban, so he didn't talk about the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty and spread it to the world.
This is civilization!
Li Yuanxing's understanding of civilization is getting more and more, how can this not make him excited.
Therefore, Li Yuanxing had to hurry back home, first, to check the information, and second, to make a series of jihua.
The shopkeeper was stunned, and watched Li Yuanxing walk out of the store in a daze, and when he was about to chase after him, a Qin Wangfu sergeant dressed as a shop buddy blocked the way in front of him, and the big shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce pulled him in the back.
The big shopkeeper said in a low voice: "You idiot, when did the Qin Wangfu stick to the cheap stitches of the little people!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper said three yes in a row.
Li Yuanxing returned home, and the old wolf breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to withdraw everyone. He took the first step back to Qin Wangzhuang to star, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin no longer came out, then these people would withdraw at night.
The countless shopkeepers in the entire Chamber of Commerce Street were envious and jealous in their hearts. King Qin only entered one store, which was the poor sour ghost Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce, and not only entered the store, but also said a few words. Zuihou walked out of the store with a wooden box in one hand, no matter what was in the wooden box, Qin Wangzhuang would give the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce a chance.
After confirming Li Yuanxing's return home, the first person to come to the door was the shopkeeper of the Bashu Brocade Chamber of Commerce. sent a box of silver, and only said one sentence: "Bashu people are united, don't lose the face of the Bashu people in front of His Royal Highness King Qin, if it's not enough, just come over!" After speaking, the big shopkeeper of the Bashu Brocade Chamber of Commerce didn't even drink it and left. (To be continued......)
