Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 149 Fried Tea
Qin Tian was confused by Tang Rong's reaction.

"Madam, why don't you let Xianggong do the tea business?"

Tang Rong's cheeks were pretty red, she lowered her head and said, "Because... because people hate you."

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't seem to want to leave the capital to start his own tea business, so why was he reluctant?
But soon Qin Tian understood.

At this time, there were many merchants in the tea business in the Tang Dynasty, but if they wanted to make a lot of money, they all sold tea to the Western Regions, that is to say, they had to take the Silk Road.

The entire Silk Road is very dangerous and the journey is far away. Tang Rong must have thought that he was going to take the Silk Road, so she said so.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian suddenly scratched Tang Rong's nose, and said with a smile: "Little fool, I want to sell fried tea, so don't go to the Western Regions, so you can rest assured."

Tang Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her husband would not go to the Western Regions, and then asked curiously, "Master, what is fried tea?"

Qin Tian shrugged: "It's just to stir-fry the tea leaves, so that when drinking tea, you don't need to boil ginger and other things together. You only need to soak the tea leaves in boiling water and you can drink it."

Tang Rong was a little puzzled. Can I drink the tea leaves soaked in boiling water?

But Qin Tian didn't intend to explain anymore. Tang Rong and the others just came back, and he hadn't seen her for a long time, so it's better for them to go back to the room first and have a good chat.

The night passed like this, and early the next morning, Qin Tian did not rush to Jingzhao Mansion to report. In his opinion, before he bought a house in the capital, it is better not to rush to Jingzhao Mansion.

Otherwise, I would have to start digging when I go, I can bear it, and the weather is getting colder, and the long-distance travel is really unbearable.

So, after waking up in the morning, Qin Tian just ordered someone to buy a lot of tea leaves, but these tea leaves were not processed, and the price was relatively cheap in comparison.

After buying the tea leaves, Qin Tian began to make tools for frying tea.

These tools are not easy to make. He needs to draw the shapes and hand them over to the blacksmith to make them. Fortunately, Tie Niu is a blacksmith, so Qin Tian handed them over to him directly.

It took Tieniu a day to build the tea-frying tool that Qin Tian wanted.

After the tea frying tool was made, Qin Tian started frying tea in the backyard, and he also roasted a lot of tea leaves in one day.

After these tea leaves are fried and dried, they are basically ready for use.

At dusk, a sunset appeared in the sky of Qinjia Village, as beautiful as a dream.

Qin Tian took a bag of tea to the bedroom.

"Xiaoqing, go and bring a pot of hot tea."

Xiao Qing hastily took orders to retreat, and after a while brought a pot of hot tea, Qin Tian put the tea into the cup, and then poured hot water.

Soon, the fried tea leaves slowly unfolded in the hot water, and the hot water gradually turned a brown color, making people want to drink it and try it.

Tang Rong watched the miraculous changes in the tea leaves and was amazed.

"Sir, can I drink like this?"

Qin Tian nodded: "That's right, you can drink it like this, Madam, give it a try."

Tang Rong picked up the teacup and took a sip. When she drank it, there was a slight bitterness, but soon, the tea fragrance lingered on the tip of her tongue and lingered in her throat. It was really very comfortable.

After Tang Rong drank a cup of tea in a row, she finally gave up.

"Sanggong, this kind of tea is not only convenient to drink, but also tastes very good."

"Madam is right. This kind of tea has a great advantage in the market. If it is sold, it will soon be able to monopolize the market. The profit of tea is huge. I think we will have money to buy a nice house in the capital soon. "

Tang Rong nodded again and again, she had no doubts about this, after all they still had the business of drunken beauties and toilet water.
-
After the fried tea is ready, the next thing to do is how to sell the fried tea.

As a new product in tea drinks, fried tea is not an easy task to be known to the people of Chang'an City as soon as possible and willing to pay for it.

Because people's tastes actually have preferences and inertia. If a person is used to drinking one flavor, let him switch to another flavor, he may not be used to it.

Just like Qin Tian, ​​he was used to drinking tea from his previous life, but suddenly he didn't like tea from the Tang Dynasty, so it's hard to say whether people in the Tang Dynasty are used to drinking their own fried tea.

Although Tang Rong likes it very much, who knows about the others?
Therefore, Qin Tian decided to start from two aspects. If the effects of these two aspects are not bad, it will be relatively easier to promote fried tea.

After making up his mind, Qin Tian asked Hu Shiba to take the tea with him to Chang'an City.

Both Hu Shiba and Tie Niu are strong men with great strength, and they are also very fierce when they start killing, but in normal times, there is still a big difference between the two of them.

Tieniu usually doesn't speak much, but suddenly he gets angry easily. Hu Shiba has a better temper, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be beaten like that in Sihaiju and not fight back.

So relatively speaking, Qin Tian prefers to take Hu Shiba with him when he comes out to do business, because he doesn't cause trouble, and he won't attack others suddenly. Be more handsome.

Tie Niu is too scary to bring out.

After the two entered Chang'an City, they first went to Prince Qin's Mansion.

Li Shimin has been busy with one thing these two days, seeing Qin Tian coming, he was a little curious.

"How did you come?"

"Send something nice to the prince."

"What good stuff?"

"tea."

Li Shimin had a doubt in his heart, what kind of good thing is tea, his palace has a lot of this thing, so it's not rare at all, okay?

But thinking of the things Qin Tian made before, he still endured it and said, "Oh, what kind of tea is actually called a good thing by you?"

Qin Tian smiled and took out a pack of tea leaves: "My lord, you just need to put this tea leaves in a cup, pour boiling water, and you can drink it, and it tastes very good."

Hearing what Tang Mu said about the magic of tea, Li Shimin immediately sent someone to bring some boiling water to try it.

After the tea leaves were brewed, he took a sip. After drinking it like this, he did feel that the tea tasted better than before, but the taste was a little weaker.

But the fragrance of that tea is even stronger.

"Good tea, good tea, where did you get the good tea?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian and asked, he really likes good tea that is so convenient and the fragrance of the tea is not spoiled.

Seeing that Li Shimin liked it, Qin Tian was overjoyed, and said, "My lord, this is a job made by lower officials."

"You made it? Okay, okay, give me a few dozen catties."

"My lord, isn't a few kilograms cheap?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned: "Do you still want money?"
