Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 19 has general policy on tea making
After two hours of conversation, Chang Le finally understood his husband's plans.

What she understood was that it was not Qin Wenyuan's whim to plant a tea garden.

First of all, the tea-making method mentioned by Qin Wenyuan is not the same as the tea-making method that people are familiar with at this stage.

Today's tea-making method in the Tang Dynasty is mainly made into tea cakes for storage.

The details are that tea is picked in spring, and then the tea leaves are steamed in a pot, and then smashed with a pestle and mortar.

Then pour it into the pot, press it until it is formed, after drying the formed tea cake, punch a hole and string it up, and then put it in the stove to bake and dry, and then it can be stored.

This is also a well-known method of making tea cakes.

And his husband Qin Wenyuan, he is amazing!
Picking, withering, fermenting, fixing, rolling, drying, (primary tea), refining, processing, packaging.

The tea he wanted to make was more complicated than ordinary tea cakes.

Especially delicate, processing, packaging, he emphasized these three steps!

Say yes, why the people in Chang'an don't like to drink tea now, and tea can't become the mainstream, it is because the packaging of tea is not good.

Moreover, the method of drinking tea is too cumbersome. When you get the tea cake, you have to boil the water for several hours. When you drink tea, people's interest has already died down.

And he intends to start from here and completely turn the tea into fast food!

That is, it can be soaked by opening the lid! !

At this moment, Changle listened quietly.

Within these two hours, she also learned for the first time what "fast food" means.

I also learned that this plan... how terrifying if it succeeds!
You must know that tea is not the mainstream now, because the method of drinking tea is too cumbersome, so it is basically only popular among princes and nobles.

And if your husband's method is successful, then as long as there is a pot of hot water, you can open the lid and drink it.

In this way, people who have worked hard all day and return home can drink the same grade of tea they drank just now...

I'm afraid, by that time, drinking tea has become a kind of enjoyment, right?

The corners of Chang Le's mouth raised slightly, she realized that her husband was really smart and smart!
This kind of business method that very people can think of can also be thought of, it is really amazing.

"Madam, what do you think?" Qin Wenyuan asked with a smile.

Chang Le nodded, "No big omission, just, if Chang'an's inherent tea market is destroyed, will we get the attention of the aristocratic families?"

"In my impression, Chang'an tea has always been firmly controlled by them. If we succeed in making tea, it will be tantamount to grabbing meat from their mouths. Will it be... a little dangerous?"

When the voice fell, Qin Wenyuan's eyelids twitched slightly.

He picked up the teacup, stared at the teacup with deep eyes, squinted, and said, "Madam, you're right, I've thought about this as my husband."

"It is indeed a little dangerous, but no matter what kind of business in Chang'an, there are basically shadows of aristocratic families. Even if we don't make tea, as long as we are in business, we can always see them."

"As far as I know, because the influence of the tea-making market is too small and only spread to the princes and nobles, they did not devote much energy to the tea-making market."

"This is the opportunity for our couple. As long as we don't grow up, as long as we hide behind the scenes, it will be difficult for them to find us."

The voice fell, just as Changle was about to ask for a specific solution,

Qin Wenyuan interrupted with a smile: "But it's still too far away. We haven't even set out for the first step. How can we take into account the dangers of the aristocratic family, don't you think, ma'am?"

"The top priority, we still have to make the tea that belongs to our family first and create the characteristics of our family."

heard this,

Since her husband Qin Wenyuan has said so, Chang Le is not good to continue pouring cold water.

Indeed, as Qin Wenyuan said, as long as you do business, you can always run into the shadow of the aristocratic family, and besides the aristocratic family, there are many businessmen.

If this is all looking ahead, will they still do it?
Those businessmen have done it now, aren't they still alive and well?

So, there is really no need to worry too much.

Chang Le frowned and said with a smile, "Okay, that husband, when will we start making tea?"

"Um……"

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Let's make our own tea first. It has to be unique in order to stand up!"

"And the tea I cooked just now is being revised, and it will be our tea in the future. I believe that our tea will definitely be the best."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the tea field to pick fresh and tender tea leaves, bring them back to make the raw materials for making tea, add my own recipe, and then we will start making tea."

"After the tea leaves are picked, the first step is to dry them to remove the dew and moisture from the tea leaves. This step requires careful people to do it, so I will leave it to you, Madam."

"Just tomorrow, I will also go to the Ministry of Industry to submit the Luban lock formula in exchange for silver taels, and by the way, I will learn more about the Chang'an tea ceremony."

"The next step is to finish the tea. This is the most crucial step. That is to say, put the tea in the tool and rub it so that the fragrance can come out. I am good at this step."

"Then the last step is drying. This step basically doesn't require you and my wife to do it. It's all up to God's will."

Chang Le listened carefully, knowing that his husband had a plan, so he nodded without hesitation.

With such a reliable husband, she felt that she was too stupid to use her brain.

Just do it directly.

At this moment, Qin Wenyuan paid more attention to another aspect of tea.

That's the tea tray and the tea cup!

The taste of the tea, he believed in his ability, the wife Changle, who was born in a wealthy family just now, was extremely satisfied with drinking it, that is the testimony.

And the tea tray and tea cup are the focus of his plan!
At this stage, the way of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty, the general public, is not using a tea tray or a tea cup!
Even princes and nobles can only drink tea with tea cups, and they have never seen such things as tea trays.

And this, in Qin Wenyuan's eyes, lacks a sense of ritual!

What is the most important thing about drinking tea in the future?
Is it the taste of tea?

This is just one of them.

The most important, of course, is the process of making the tea!

During the tea making process, you can brag with friends, discuss the future of life, etc.

Therefore, the tea cups and tea trays of later generations are the real targets of Qin Wenyuan's attack.

Nowadays, the pottery culture of the Tang Dynasty is developed, and the price of pottery making is still close to the people. This is why Qin Wenyuan turned his business to tea for the first time.

In addition, the reason why people don't like drinking tea at this stage has something to do with the early days of Zhenguan, when all the wastes of the Tang Dynasty were flourishing.

According to the historical development track, the people in the later period liked to drink tea very much. Now, he is racing against time.

After these two hours of discussion with my wife, there is a complete tea selling plan in my mind, which is also being perfected step by step.
