Chapter 307: Tea
In this era, it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, you find out the eldest grandson Huanting, isn't this just ugly for her?
Sure enough, it was similar to what Li Xiang expected, the eldest grandson Huanting didn't come out at all, Li Xiang and Wang De were here, especially Wang De came with him, it must be related to Lu Dongzan, the eldest grandson Chong himself couldn't do things, and the eldest grandson Huanting said that he was not feeling well.
"I was fine at lunch just now, why am I not feeling well now, do you have a doctor?"
Changsun Chong's nerves are big, he actually said this sentence, thanks to Li Xiang is not an outsider, if it is an outsider, I don't know how people laugh at you, it is difficult for Changsun Wuji to give birth to such a brainless son, no wonder after Changsun Wuji died, there was no successor in the entire Changsun Mansion.
"Then wait a while, uncle, it's nothing anyway."
Li Xiang didn't want Changsun Chong to continue tossing, after all, this guy is also a person in his own camp now, embarrassed in front of Wang De, Li Xiang has no brilliance on his face, hearing Li Xiang say this, Changsun Chong also let his subordinates go down and took out a bag of small tea.
Li Xiang has already ordered someone to start roasting tea, although the technology is not very good, but it is much better than the traditional Chinese medicine tea of this era.
Tea in this era is almost soaked leaves, can this taste good? Even if the tea fried by Li Xiang tastes average, it is also excellent for the children of high-ranking officials in the capital.
"I mean, when the hell is this thing going to be released? We're all waiting, and after drinking this taste, don't expect us to drink the same tea again, then we won't drink that tea when we go out to drink plain water. ”
The eldest grandson Chong saw less and less, and he was a little worried in his heart, you must know that the nobles do not drink white water, if you drink white water, it will make others laugh at it, but the tea sample you give is only so little, even if you save drinking it every day, it will be about half a month at most.
What Li Xiang wants is your mentality, first give you a part, let you cultivate habits, and when the tea is on the market, the price is not a joke, you people have formed a habit, if you are not willing to pay for your habits, it can only be to drink the previous Chinese medicine tea or white water, anyway, in terms of calculating your wallet, we are sparing no effort.
"This tea is delicious, isn't it?"
Li Xiang did not answer the question, but asked a question.
"How redundant is this, you gave one to our brothers, and now we are all like treasures, if it weren't for the distinguished guests, we wouldn't want to take it out at all."
Changsun Chong is telling the truth, although the palace has also received a part, but the number is also extremely rare, Wang De is considered the leading figure in the palace, his own share is not as much as Changsun Chong's, and the palace ladies are also extremely rare.
If it is something that is paid tribute from all over the world, Wang De is not lacking, after all, he is the chief eunuch in the palace, even if it is a rare thing transported from the border area, before meeting the emperor, he can also get a share, so he has no shortage of all kinds of things, except for the tea and perfume that Li Xiang paid tribute to, which was directly taken to the palace, and he did not go to the internal affairs office at all, so Wang De did not have the opportunity to rub oil, and at this time he also looked at Li Xiang with an eager face, and wanted to ask Li Xiang when it would be sold.
"Even you think it's delicious, you can imagine how difficult the process of this thing is, I have asked my subordinates to step up, but the output is extremely limited, instead of taking it out and selling it, it is better to give it to you, the main thing is that this output can't go up at all, and the output is only a few dozen catties a month......"
Li Xiang didn't blush at all when he lied, obviously there were already tens of thousands of catties in the warehouse, but the output was reduced by hundreds of times in an instant, although it sounds like dozens of catties is not small, but there are more dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City, even if a person comes to two catties, it will take thousands of catties, not to mention that there are many capable people outside Chang'an City, and they can also afford the price.
Besides, tea and wine are not the same, wine may not be drunk every day, but tea must be drunk every day, people need to drink water every day, wine is a thing that men like to drink, women may not be able to drink it, but women also want to drink water, so the sales must be much higher than wine.
"You can pull it down, we're all our own people, don't I know what's going on? You must just want to sell it at a high price, I'll tell you the truth, take the current tea as an example, there will definitely be people buying it for a hundred yuan a pound outside. ”
The meaning of Changsun Chong is obvious, that is, you have now got this price, there is no need to hide it, if you want to make a profit, taking it out now is the best opportunity.
Li Xiang heard the feedback of the eldest grandson Chong, and he also counted it in his heart, it is said that the price is already okay, but Li Xiang needs to gather a lot of funds, so he has to wait for a while, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach one hundred and twenty yuan a pound after a while.
When several people were talking, Changsun Wuji had already returned from outside, and there were more things in the yamen recently, so Changsun Wuji had to come back in the afternoon, and many officials even had to work overtime there at night, which was also related to the recent adjustments.
"Tubo wants to marry my Datang, I am in favor of this, but your cousin has never left Datang......"
In the end, it is a father and daughter, although the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't care much about his daughter's days, but if he can let his daughter stay in Chang'an, then he still hopes to stay in Chang'an, after all, after arriving in Tubo, this is equivalent to not seeing each other in this life.
In this era, medicine is not very developed, from one place to another, there are many things that are not suitable for people's lives, even if you are lucky enough to survive, but the distance between the two places is too far, it takes nearly a year to go back and forth, if there is no major event, no one will choose to visit relatives.
Wang De only brought his ears, he was responsible for reporting to Li Shimin, but he was never responsible for expressing his opinions casually, Li Xiang had a mouth, but at this time he didn't dare to express his opinions indiscriminately, and he didn't know what the eldest grandson Huanting was thinking, so he couldn't talk nonsense in front of Wang De, of course, it had something to do with his weakness......
