Chapter 121: The Prospect of Roasted Tea
Li Xin'er proposed: "Mother, now is not the season of grain production, the grain business can be discussed later, the most important thing at the moment is the tea garden, and my subordinates want to go to the tea garden to see it in person." β
Xie Yufei pondered her proposal for a while before saying, "You don't have to go to the tea garden in person, Qin Da can handle this matter." β
The proposal was rejected, Li Xin'er not only did not feel embarrassed, but felt that it was due to the past feelings, understood that she felt sorry for herself, and did not want to let herself run, she smiled: "Then the subordinate will not go, the subordinate wants to go to the commercial store to have a look, and then investigate the market of Chang'an tea industry." β
Xie Yufei nodded and said, "The business bank has no shop yet, let's go to the tea market together." β
With such a big investment, you can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Immediately, Xie Yufei took the three doglegs and Li Xin'er to the West Market.
There is a big street in the west market that is specially sold tea bricks, March is the month of the new spring tea market, and the tea farmers are trafficked to Chang'an after the tea bricks are made, which is just this season.
Therefore, there are many hawkers on the street who come to buy tea bricks in batches, and there are also horse caravans of large merchants and camel caravans from the Western Regions who come to buy tea bricks in large quantities.
Seeing the huge flow of customers in front of him, the corners of Xie Yufei's mouth rose slightly, looking forward to having such a large number of customers after the roasted tea was launched in the future.
Xie Yufei and his entourage walked all the way down the street, and came to the largest tea house at the end of the street, which was crowded with horse caravans and camel caravans.
ββQiongyu Tea House, the store is brilliant and magnificent, the gate is two zhang wide, and there are merchants coming in and out from time to time.
"Do you want to buy tea?"
A guy saw a guest come in and asked, but when he came to the front, the guy was shocked by Li Xin'er's beauty, and his eyes looked at Li Xin'er from time to time, and his eyes were full of fascination.
Li Xin'er turned a blind eye to the man's rude behavior, and her face was calm: "What kind of tea brick cake tea do you have here?" β
Seeing that it was a beauty who asked himself, the guy introduced it enthusiastically: "There are all kinds of tea cakes and tea bricks in the tea house, the quality of tea bricks is different, and the quality of the tea bricks is twenty for the officials and nobles, and the ordinary people can buy a tea brick for a few pennies, depending on which one the guests want?" β
Twenty a pie? A tea cake weighs only half a catty?
The shocking numbers made the women dumbfounded, and after the shock, the women's eyes flashed with golden light.
Seeing that the guest was silent for a long time, the man reflected on whether he had neglected the guest, so he smiled more kindly: "The guest can take a few small items out first, compare them and then decide which one to buy?" β
"Okay, then I'll trouble you!" Xie Yufei said with a smile.
After a while, the guy took out a few tea cakes and introduced which ones were delicious with which ingredients, and which ones were roasted with fire moxibustion or rolled into copper tea before eating.
It's eating tea, not drinking tea!
Because tea is used for eating, in order to improve the bitter and astringent taste of tea, mint, salt, red dates or ginger slices are often added to taste, and spices such as borneol are added.
Xie Yufei was amazed when he heard it, eating tea was so cumbersome, unlike later generations who attached importance to the fragrance of tea itself, and only used boiling water to brew.
"I wonder what kind of tea bricks the guest wants to buy?" The guy never forgets the business, and asks again after the introduction.
"Let me think about it" Xie Yufei thought for a while, and said for a long time: "I'll take a look elsewhere!" β
"........." guys
A few people in the group walked out of the store under the disdainful gaze of the guy, and before they left the store, Xiaoqing said angrily: "That guy is so bold that he stared at Sister Xin'er." β
"Humph! That guy is really nasty. Xizhu snorted.
Xizhu only blames the guy for only looking at Li Xin'er, is he worse than Li Xin'er? I'm also a rare beauty!
Li Xin'er was grateful to them for holding grievances for herself, and the son was deliberately playing tricks on that guy just now.
She laughed, "It's just a trivial matter, don't bother with it." β
Xie Yufei didn't answer this topic, she asked, "Xin'er thinks our new tea will have a future in the tea market?" β
Li Xin'er thought for a moment and said solemnly: "I drank a cup of clear tea in Gongzi's Mansion just now, and I drank it with a fragrant lips and teeth, fragrant and delicious, better than today's various miscellaneous teas, the new tea drinking method is different, and the prospect must be objective." I think 200 acres is less, and all the money should be used to buy tea gardens, but this tea making method must be kept secret, and only by keeping this secret can we continue to make a lot of money. β
"Hmm" Xie Yufei nodded in agreement, "It's just that this year's spring tea has passed, and the taste of summer tea is not as good as spring tea, so I can only keep the summer tea and wait for the autumn tea to be picked." β
The women got into the carriage and were still discussing the topic of tea, and the topic gradually drifted away, from various business experiences to the guys who were talking about the current topic.
Li Xin'er asked with doubts: "Childe, you said that there is a problem with the operation method of the tea house?" β
Xie Yufei nodded and said, "Hmm! The guys in the tea house were busy and accompanied the guests from the beginning to the end of the shop. To receive guests, to make tea, to introduce tea bricks to answer the guests' doubts, until the guests buy tea bricks and weigh tea bricks, help count the copper scales and cut silver, all kinds of things are done by one person. β
"Miss, aren't all men like that?" Keitake asked.
Xiaoqing flattered: "Miss must have a better opinion." β
Xie Yufei said with a smile: "I can't talk about good opinions, just rough opinions, as long as they divide the labor, the new guy is responsible for recruiting guests to make tea and receive guests, the guy introduces tea bricks and sells tea bricks, and the new guy helps to count money and weigh silver, so that the new guy who only stands next to him and learns to play a role can also be useful." β
Li Xin'er nodded again and again when she heard this, and her eyes also radiated brilliance, it seems that everything must be done with the best of things.
Xie Yufei chatted casually, which actually made her realize the way of management.
Li Xin'er said: "Son, in the future, we will open a tea house as you said, and please ask the guy to invite some eloquence and good character, rather lack than abuse!" β
Xie Yufei smiled slightly, and praised repeatedly: "You are right, the guy must not only have a good character and good eloquence, but also treat the guests sincerely.
Also will coax the guests, can not only rigid sales goods, to know how to flatter and the guests to pull a homely friendship, most people are nostalgic and affectionate, as long as the guests are happy, can turn the head back customers into repeat customers, repeat customers into regular customers, familiar customers into acquaintances, so that they want to buy tea to think of our tea house, but also willing to spread word of mouth for you, introduce new customers. In the long run, the source of customers will be stable, and there will be a steady stream of new customers, but in order to make the guys do their best, there must be a reward commission. β
Xie Yufei's words stunned them.
Still coaxing guests? Is this a business or what it does?
The four girls were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know if Miss's words really worked.
Xizhu Monster smiled: "Miss, this kind of guy you said, I think Jia Yi is suitable, so let him be a buddy." β
She seemed to be making a joke without a head, but in fact, her intentions were absolutely impure, this girl was too bad-hearted.
Xie Yufei glanced at her with contempt, and the little girl shrunk her neck, not daring to look at each other.
When Li Xin'er heard this, she couldn't see joy or anger on her face, "Hehe! That's right, that guy can coax people, it seems that he also offended Miss Xizhu? β
Xie Yufei still knows Li Xin'er, the more she shows that she doesn't care, on the contrary, she cares a lot, woohoo! A is crippled.
