Chapter 17: Growing Tea
Carrying tea leaves out of the sixth uncle's pawn shop, Wei Ziyang's mind was still full of the figure of the bad old man who passed by, and this person made a deep impression on him, especially his eyes. But when you think about his face, you forget what he looks like, and perhaps it was those deep eyes that attracted all his attention.
"Forget it, who others are is their own business. Wei Ziyang shook his head and went straight back to his grocery store. Seeing that the time was still early, I didn't rush to close the door, and when I carefully put the tea in the refrigerator, I casually took out a bag of 'ration tea' and brewed it.
"Tsk...... This ration tea will cost two or three thousand yuan a catty!" Wei Ziyang shook his head, it is difficult to estimate how much net worth the sixth uncle has, but in private, many people say that he is the richest man in the old city, and he is a character who can walk sideways anyway.
"If you grow some tea trees to make tea and sell it, it is also a good income. Wei Ziyang suddenly thought of it, and then he was very moved.
In the past, those small sundries in the store Wei Ziyang no longer planned to continue to operate, the distribution of goods requires capital, and they can't be sold for several months, just such a big room of things looks bits and pieces, but there are tens of thousands of yuan pressed here.
Small sundries can be sold together, and having suppliers deliver them to your door can also confuse the public, but grocery stores will still have to take the boutique route in the future. It's like Uncle Six, who hasn't opened for three years, has been open for three years, and has a place to hide his identity.
Besides, he doesn't have so much time to stay in the store, so he will definitely have to devote more time and energy to my world in the future.
"I wonder if the crops from the outside world can grow quickly after being transplanted to the basic survival world?" Wei Ziyang thought of this, this will be a new attempt. Because the predecessor of the basic survival world is the game world, and the variety of crops set in the game is limited, it would be a great help if the real-world plant varieties could also be brought into the base world.
But where to find it on the tea tree?
Directly on a treasure search, a variety of tea tree sapling products appeared on the screen, selected a few good reputation, directly ordered hundreds of various types of tea tree seedlings, and added money to ask for the fastest express.
Only the next day, the express delivery was delivered to the door one after another, and the buyer's packaging and maintenance were good, and even the young leaves were kept intact.
It is not possible to plant them directly, even if it is the original crops of the basic world, the villagers of Stone Village directly plant the saplings at a normal growth rate, which is too inefficient.
Hitting a fruit tree has a chance to drop a sapling, I don't know if this will work? Wei Ziyang was decisive, and directly pulled out his iron sword and cut it on the newly bought tea tree sapling.
"Picking up Tieguanyin Saplings*2"
"Sure enough!" Wei Ziyang was overjoyed, but all the saplings that have been transformed by the system can have game attributes, that is, they can grow quickly.
However, the next attempt Wei Ziyang also found a problem, not every time the sapling is cut down, there is a certain chance, and the more frequent the operation, the less the number of drops.
"Tieguanyin Sapling*25, Longjing*21, Da Hong Pao*15...... Hundreds of saplings, and in the end, these are the only ones left. Wei Ziyang didn't have many regrets, the important thing was that his conjecture was confirmed.
Chashan Weizi Yang chose to be on the edge of a small stream behind the stone village, facing the direction of the sun. The creek is rocky on both sides, and the tea trees can be planted with a piece of soil, and with plenty of water and sunlight, the tea leaves grown in this environment are more fragrant.
When he came back to see it the next day, Wei Ziyang was pleasantly surprised to find that the tea tree was half waist high, and it was spreading its branches and leaves, and its growth was very gratifying. However, according to the information searched on the Internet, Wei Ziyang knew that this tea tree had not grown enough, and it was estimated that it would take a few days, which was longer than the growth cycle of wheat.
Unlike the game, when the player quits during the game, the time in the whole world stops, but after Wei Ziyang comes out of Minecraft, the time inside is normal. Two or three days in the real world, more than ten days have passed in the basic world, and the tea trees planted a few days ago have already flourished.
Tea has been grown, how can it be made into tea? This is obviously a problem. The final quality of tea, the production process and process are very important, Wei Ziyang specially checked on the Internet, the process is still very complicated, do you have to ask someone to help make it? Although this is okay, Wei Ziyang does not want this, which has the risk of making people suspicious.
"Whew!"
When Wei Ziyang was still thinking about Chashan, a wild wolf broke in quietly, squeaked and flew from the top of his head, and the blood plate bit straight to his neck.
Wei Ziyang thought about it for a while, and when he found out that the danger was already close, the evil wolf was already close at a moment's notice, but fortunately, the cultivated body was very agile, and he rolled on the spot to dodge, and the evil wolf hit the tea tree in the air, and he was also very embarrassed.
Wei Ziyang was furious, took out the iron sword casually, and took advantage of the hungry wolf being trapped by the tea tree, and directly slashed the iron sword, and even cut the tea tree in two, and the evil wolf died tragically on the spot.
"Picking up Tieguanyin Tea Blue*1"
"Picking up the Tieguanyin Sapling*1"
The prompt of automatic pickup first made Wei Ziyang stunned, and then he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the evil wolf, so he hurriedly took out a piece of Tieguanyin tea from the game backpack.
This is a fresh leaf, the kind that has not been made, but there are no old leaves and old stems, and it can be used directly to make tea.
Then Wei Ziyang had a bolder idea, can the furnace make these tea greens into finished products?
Take out the furnace in the game backpack on the spot, put the tea leaves, and put charcoal as fuel, and in a short time, a finished tea will be made.
"Pick up Tieguanyin*1"
A finished Tieguanyin product weighs about half a catty, because it has just been taken out of the furnace, it still carries residual heat, and the tea leaves are very mellow, hold it in front of you and smell it gently, and the fragrance that only belongs to Tieguanyin suddenly comes to your nose.
This made Wei Ziyang can't wait to quit the basic survival world, and when he returned to the grocery store, although it was night, he still boiled a pot of hot water to soak Tieguanyin.
The tea soup is green and flawless, the fragrance of tea spreads all over the house, gently sipping it into the mouth, the tea is soft and soft into the stomach, and I only feel that the whole person is fluttering.
"Good tea!" Even if Wei Ziyang was not a person in the tea ceremony, he couldn't help but shout hello at this time.
First of all, the tea tree lives in an excellent environment, and secondly, the systematic production process is also superior, how can such tea not be a high-quality product. Even if Uncle Liu's tea leaves of 10,000 yuan a pound are slightly incomparable, if you can get better tea tree seedlings, this tea will definitely not be worse than 10,000 yuan tea.
Returning to the tea garden in the basic survival world, Wei Ziyang began to 'pick tea' on a large scale, and he also discovered the trick that as long as he hit the part of the tea tree that was one meter above, the entire tree would not be uprooted, so that young leaves could soon grow again.
At the same time, there is a certain chance that tea tree saplings will be dropped, Wei Ziyang naturally continues to plant them, and the number of tea trees is still too small.
For the first time, dozens of catties of tea were harvested, but because the system was made in bulk, Wei Ziyang spent money to buy a vacuum packaging machine, as well as some tea vacuum packaging bags and public gift boxes, a small bag of ten grams of packaging, just the amount of one bubble.
Tea is available, but how to price and sell it is a problem, after all, this is not a tea shop, and customers will not think of coming to a grocery store to buy tea, and the price of this tea cannot be too low.
After thinking about it, Wei Ziyang packed half a catty in a gift box and sent it directly to the Liuliushun pawnshop.
"Yo, Ziyang also thought of sending tea to Uncle Six!" Uncle Six suddenly joked when he saw the things in Wei Ziyang's hand, the tea on the market was not in his eyes, and most of the tea leaves in his tea cabinet were high-quality goods received from tea farmers in the place of origin, and they could not be bought on the market.
Wei Ziyang was very confident, put down the tea and said: "One of my classmates is in this business, and gave me some trial sales to see if I can get into the eyes of the sixth uncle." ”
"Haha, that's really going to have to be savored. The sixth uncle laughed, although he didn't think so, but he still gave Wei Zi a face, and prepared to make a pot himself.
"Huh?" When the sixth uncle tore open the vacuum bag of tea leaves, the fragrance that came to his nose shocked his spirits, and he carefully poured the tea leaves out of the tea spoon to carefully identify them, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became.
Rich people like to be vassals and elegant, and the sixth uncle is of course no exception. And if you want to be elegant, you have to have some theoretical knowledge, not to mention that the sixth uncle is a senior player. Whether it is knowledge or eyesight, the sixth uncle has it, and it is precisely because of this that he is surprised by the quality of this Tieguanyin tea.
"Interesting. I couldn't wait to make the tea, and the first cup was not used to entertain Wei Ziyang, a guest, but tasted it carefully first.
"Good tea!" Uncle Six couldn't help but admire.
The smile on Wei Ziyang's face suddenly became stronger, regardless of whether the sixth uncle was a vassal or not, but at least he was a well-informed person.
"What are you selling this tea, bring me two catties...... No, five pounds! The sixth uncle said.
"Sixth Uncle is well-informed, how much do you think this tea is worth?" Wei Ziyang humbly asked.
The sixth uncle was very helpful to these words, and said: "If it is a good channel, it is not expensive to buy 10,000 catties of tea at this level." But your reputation is not obvious, but three or five thousand is still fine. ”
Wei Ziyang thought so, thought for a while, and said: "Then sell it for two thousand first, and open up your reputation first, if the sixth uncle's friend likes it, please recommend it." ”
The sixth uncle shook his head, the tea is good tea, but he is not very optimistic about Wei Ziyang's business, good tea is also afraid of deep alleys, two thousand pounds of tea is not expensive for him at all, but ordinary customers are afraid that they are reluctant to buy it. But he still said: "Just give me half a catty for you as soon as possible, and Uncle Sixth will definitely introduce you to a few more customers." ”
Wei Ziyang sent tea to the sixth uncle, not to tie up this thick thigh, one is to have a relationship, after all, he also received the sixth uncle's tea a few days ago. The second is to get a professional's evaluation, and the important thing is pricing.
Of course, Wei Ziyang didn't expect Uncle Six to be alone, and took out half a catty and sent it to several nearby tea houses for free delivery, so that they could pick up the goods at the grocery store if necessary. Cast a wide net, catch more fish, and also collect more professional reviews from professional tea masters.
Unlike other tea merchants, his tea is bought and sold without capital, and he doesn't feel distressed about sending some out for advertising, maybe he can get unexpected results? The important thing is that he has great confidence in the quality of tea.
