Chapter 137: The Tea Leaves Are on Fire

(Today's chapter is added to book friends: I love to eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, thank you for rewarding a great god certification, I'm embarrassed not to add more, 99 yuan.) Don't do this in the future, you have that 99 yuan, how good it is for you to support me, 99 can take care of me for at least a month. No matter how grateful you are, the boss is generous and has a wide range of financial resources. )

Wei Zheng was also speechless when he listened, and his face was ugly. After seeing Li Shimin's expression again, Wei Zheng knew that Li Shimin loved the house and Wu and did not blame him, so he no longer argued with a little girl that it would be a shame to win or lose.

Fang Xuanling said on the side: "The people in King Ji's Mansion are really as powerful as King Ji. Lord Wei, don't embarrass a servant. ”

Li Shimin was happy in his heart. Finally, someone can scare Wei Zheng. However, he still said: "Chunxiang, don't be rude." ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the slave and maid are guilty. It's just that outsiders can't ruin the reputation of my family's prince. "The little girl is often with Li Shen, and she can often see Li Shimin, so she is not so afraid.

"Well, I know that you are faithful to the Lord. Now that you've finished teaching, go back to the palace. Go back and tell your lord to bring me some more tea. ”

If it is an ordinary servant girl who is so presumptuous, it is light, and if you don't get it right, you will be killed with a rod. It's just that Chunxiang has followed Li Shen since she was a child, and Li Shimin knows that Li Shen cares about the people around him, and he will not embarrass Chunxiang if he loves the house and Wu Li Shimin.

"It's Your Majesty, the slave and maid have retired, but when the prince came, he knew that His Majesty would definitely ask for tea again. So let the slave and maid tell Your Majesty that there is no more this month. It's all already divided. The queen mother sent a tube, Princess Linchuan sent a tube, and Princess Changle sent a tube.

The East Palace sent two tubes, plus one tube here from His Majesty, and the rest were all from the concubine Niangniang. The prince said that if His Majesty wants to drink tea, he will go to the Daji Hall to drink, and the prince has specially cleaned up a luxurious tea room for His Majesty in the Daji Palace. Chunxiang finished explaining Li Shen, bowed and withdrew.

Li Shimin looked helpless, and the ministers were also playful. This Li Shen is too shrewd, he really does everything for Concubine Wei, and he is willing to spend money.

Li Shen said that the luxurious tea room can be imagined how luxurious it should be, but this is His Majesty's family matter, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to say anything. Everyone has a new understanding of the degree of Li Shen's filial piety to Concubine Wei, Li Shen actually tempted Li Shimin for his biological mother, this son is really a cheat.

Li Shimin was not surprised, first furniture, and then paper. All kinds of materials sent by the palace every month, and finally the property fell into the hands of him Li Shimin.

It's just that Wei Guifei dedicated it to him, and Li Shimin sometimes feels embarrassed not to go to the Daji Hall often.

"Now that the tribute tea is gone. How about I ask King Ji to inform you to send some first-class tea to Aiqing? Li Shimin said apologetically

"Your Majesty, I guess even if Your Majesty informs you. His Royal Highness King Ji will not send it to us, even if it is sent, it is only a little bit. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

The eldest grandson Wuji was ready to help Li Shen speak, after all, he was also a partner, and when he heard Chunxiang say to send a tube to Changle, he knew that he would definitely be able to drink it, Changle was well-behaved and sensible, and the business with Li Shen had grown year by year in recent years.

Now the annual income is comparable to the income of the government of Yichengguo. Changle often takes out some money to fill the expenses of the house.

"Why are auxiliaries so sure?" Li Shimin asked

"Your Majesty. This kind of tea minister guessed that the price should be expensive, and the first-class tea status that could be matched was my and some big families. Your Majesty, do you say that King Ji can give it to us? Eldest Sun Wuji said with a smile

"Hahaha, you really know Li Shen." Li Shimin laughed when he heard this. The ministers also laughed along, and everyone forgot about Li Shen's greed for money.

After a few days of fermentation, Li Shen's article had been circulated in public among literati and artists, and it was at this time that the boutique pavilion was rumored to sell the secret tea exclusive to the palace. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted scholars and businessmen from all over Chang'an.

Chang'an has the most readers and the richest, and the boutique pavilion is already full of people when it opens in the morning. Li Shen's three grades of tea packaging are different and the price is different, according to the convention, the boutique pavilion pays attention to the outer packaging.

The third-class tea is 500 wen and one tael, the second-class tea is two and a tael, and the first-class tea is five and a tael, and the boutique pavilion is still taking the high-end route.

Other people's families talk about catties, and Li Shen talks about two sales. The price is ten times more expensive. In fact, this is Li Shen's plan, the new product is launched, and the money of a wave of wealthy businessmen and courtiers will be made first. And then it is coming down little by little, just like the wine, and now many people can buy low-end alcohol.

In accordance with Li Shen's requirements, the boutique pavilion has a fixed number of sales catties every day, and foreign businessmen have priority in taking goods. To occupy the market as soon as possible, the tea leaves are sold out in half a day every day, and the means of hunger marketing make Li Shen play perfectly.

Everyone is a fellow literati and writer, and if you don't have you, you are a grade lower than others. People like to compare, so these people come to line up early every day.

Weijia Tea House, the number of customers has decreased a lot in the past few days, and there are very few people who come to buy tea. In this era, the least people who can afford to drink tea are well-off families, and ordinary people have no spare money to drink tea. So for them, it doesn't matter if the tea is more expensive.

"Shopkeeper, today I saw that several big customers have gone to the boutique pavilion. Now the famous restaurants and green houses in Chang'an have begun to use the tea of the boutique pavilion.

It is not a way to keep the batch of 100,000 quintals of tea cakes we just arrived in the warehouse, and it will become moldy after a long time. A guy said to the shopkeeper

"Of course I know this, but the price of our batch of tea is the same as the price of their third-class tea. I've also drunk their tea, and it's really better than ours. The shopkeeper's face was sad

"Otherwise, let's reduce the price, it's better than moldy in the warehouse"

"This needs to be reported to the clan, we can't pay attention to it. I'll go to Steward Wei now and ask him what he means.

The boutique pavilion not only sells tea, but also includes tea tables, tea utensils, etc. And they are all high-end goods, the cheapest one also costs more than a dozen, and with some tea utensils, a set will cost twenty habitual dollars.

This is still the lowest grade, if it is the kind of mid-to-high-grade mahogany oak nanmu. The price is even more expensive, Li Shen asked people to make a treasure of the town store, carved a tiger, using rosewood. Worth 13,000 kan. Everyone secretly smacked their tongues when they heard this price.

In the court, in the academy, in the tavern, in the Qinglou. All the places that have a relationship with the literati are talking about the tea in the boutique pavilion. In particular, the two poems written by Li Shen on the teapot made the talented people talk about it.

In just a few days, Li Shen's tea became popular in Chang'an, and it was slowly burning all over the country.

Many restaurants have begun to use Li Shen's tea to entertain guests. Many businessmen also like to open a private room in the restaurant, serve a pot of tea, and a few people quietly enjoy and chat.

The new tea is on fire, but the most profitable thing that Li Shen didn't expect is not these restaurants, but ....... (I have a stomachache tomorrow in more)
