Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 106 Old Tea
On the second day, Rong Shan went to the jewelry store early in the morning.

When the man saw him coming, he was both happy and disturbed and brought him inside.

As soon as the magistrate's wife saw the jewelry that the guy showed, she asked for it, and gave it to Jiao Zi of three thousand guan.

If the head mask is only based on the amount of gold and gems used, the price will not be wrong.

As long as those gemstones are so good in quality, and each one is so well-proportioned, in fact, there must be a price increase.

So when the buddy told Rong Shan, he was a little apprehensive, and he stammered that he wanted to use his savings and the money he would earn in the future to slowly pay back the price difference.

Rong Shan asked his clerk, the magistrate's wife, to agree to his marriage with that maid, and he smiled and said that the price is okay, there is no need to make up the difference, but he just wants the clerk to remember that the marriage with that maid was not easy, and he must cherish his wife in the future.

After returning from the jewelry store, Rong Shan handed over those jiaozi to Su Yue, then left Quanzhou and went to the secret villa.

Su Yue took the handover and handed it to Xie Jue.

Xie Jue glanced at her lightly: "Yo, you mean your own things belong to me too?"

He needs money now, but no matter how much he needs it, he is not poor enough to ask for this little money. Well, he still has 50 transfers in his pocket.

Su Yue chuckled twice, and put the three Jiaozi under the jewelry box.

She doesn't think too much money!

"Okay, you clean up, my grandpa will watch the lantern with you today." Although he didn't want it, Xie Jue's lips curled up, and he said softly.

Tang Bing, who was standing outside, rubbed the back of his hands behind his back.

(There are holes in the hands of the sheep lanterns that have been tied all night)

That night, Xie Jue took Su Yue out of the door carrying the sheep lantern with its crooked head and slit tail and uneven horns.

Regardless of the laughter of the children along the way, they played all the way along the main street of Quanzhou.

Watching the lanterns, eating snacks, watching performances, playing lantern grabbing, setting off krathongs, and booing with the teams that lit up the lanterns.

Su Yue laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

The corners of Xie Jue's lips have always been slightly raised, and he only feels that in the past 17 years, this moment is the happiest moment for him.

He played until midnight, when the crowds on the street cleared up, and then he went back to the house.

The next day, Xie Jue asked the magistrate's wife to give a gift, directly stating that it was for the young lady of the Lin family to add makeup.

One hundred pink and black top-grade pearls, two ivory pieces weighing more than 30 kilograms, two high-quality rhino horns that are only qualified for third-rank officials, a box of high-quality amber beeswax, and a box of polished Coral beads, and a box of Chinan.

There may not be many things, but everything is a rare thing, even if Qinan is rich, he may not be able to buy it.

The prefect's wife only let Wang Guanshi pass on a sentence: Thank you for the kindness of the third master, I accept it.

When Xie Jue received the reply, he said softly, working with smart people is just comfortable.

He ordered people to prepare.

On NO.20, he took Su Yue to Chashan.

We stopped in Jianzhou for a few days in the middle.

The tea green of Tongmu comes out half a month later than that of Jianzhou.

At the beginning of February, Jianzhou's tea leaves for making dragon groups have already emerged.

When Xie Jue went to Luo Chasi to contact (give gifts), Su Yue did it herself in the small tea house and made a hundred-jin dragon ball.

Last year, the tribute tea sent to Beijing and Hangzhou sold very well, but the Luo Cha Division was also under some pressure. This year, they could only give Xie Jue [-] jin of tribute tea, but they got another [-] jin of tea Citation, you can buy more second-grade and third-grade ones.

That's a lot of profit.

The money was not easy to send, so Xie Jue sent some spices to Luo Chasi.

At the end of February, a group of people arrived at Tongmu Tea Garden.

This year's climate and rainfall are similar to those of the previous year, and the tea buds are also about the same.

Those thirty people finally mastered some tricks.

Su Yue can also let go and let them take control.

However, Su Yue's labor intensity has not decreased at all.

Because she was thinking that Xie Jue would buy tea all the way and buy tea halfway around the world, Su Yue decided to make as much as she could.

Early on, Xie Jue sent people to collect the green tea.

Not only the freshly picked green tea from Paulownia, but even the tea garden next to Baiye Guanping, let them pick it up, dry it, knead it, and then load it into a car and buy it back.

And the scope of the tea factory has doubled.

Dozens of fire charcoal ovens are lined up in several rows.

The spring day is still cold, but once you enter that area, you will be sweaty in a thin shirt.

Those men who were doing things would still dress neatly and thickly at first, but after a steady stream of dark green piled in, no one was too busy to care about their appearance.

One by one, even if they are not shirtless, they are just pieces of cloth.

Seeing that Xie Jue gritted his teeth, he went to those big guys in private, and said bluntly, if he can't learn how to make ordinary black tea and black tea in two years, he will wipe his neck for him.

Thinking that Su Yue will be fourteen in two years...

Several big men turned around and went desperately.

Of course, what they are trying to do is to do their best in the third round and try to master the second round.

first round……

It's up to Su Yue to do it herself.

This time, the collection of tea buds has been intensified, and even the tea gardens in the two nearby townships have collected tea greens after kneading at a high price.

The number of tea buds in the first round is extremely large.

Su Yue was so busy that she didn't even care about combing her hair, she just wrapped her head with a piece of cloth, and Xie Jue gave her two sets of clothes every day, if she didn't have time to take a bath, she just changed into clean clothes and put them on again.

(Eating is of course also an old rule)
In this way, as the wheels turned, the first round of [-] catties of self-produced tea buds was made, and the first round of semi-processed tea buds of [-] catties of tea was collected from the side.

The taste of semi-processed tea is worse than that of self-produced tea, but better than that of the second round.

So the second round of tea buds continued to be harvested in the same way.

Self-produced ones yield [-] catties, and semi-processed ones yield [-] catties.

By the third round, Xie Jue was determined not to let Su Yue enter the tea factory.

Just saying, so much is enough, it doesn't matter if the big guys behind do poorly.

(Big man: If you don’t dare to do poor work, you will be asked to cut your own neck)
Su Yue did the math, the first round of tea, Xie Jue, had never been sold, and the sum of the three years totaled more than 9 catties. These are top-quality teas, and the taste is much better than the one they brought over last time. Keeping [-] yuan for storage, there are still [-] catties, not to mention the semi-processed ones.

As for the second round, the three-year total is 10,000+ catties, plus the semi-finished products.

If Xie Jue still sold it at the last price, then this amount would be about the same.

It really doesn't matter how much the third round comes out.

So I felt relieved, washed from the beginning to the end, and slept for three days.

Three days later, I couldn't help but give pointers to those big men.

The taste of the tea buds in the third round has not changed much, and the leaves are thick, so the time of fermentation and fire roasting is almost irrelevant.

Those big men also practiced by themselves, and the finished products are not bad.

Su Yue let them do it.

I simply wandered up the mountain with Xie Jue to see if I could find a good wild tea tree.

After searching for a few days, I actually found a few old wild tea trees that had grown for hundreds of years.

It has never been picked by anyone, the taste of tea leaves...

After letting Su Yue taste it, she said, "Third Master, have you ever drank Dahongpao?"

"No." Xie Jue laughed as he played with the tea in his hand, "But the name is good and auspicious."

Su Yue was startled when she heard that, and her mind began to wander.

Whether it is black tea or black tea that he has made in the past three years, Xie Jue has sold black tea to Shuzhou, but black tea has never been sold outside.

Of course, she didn't want to make black tea available in Song Dynasty so quickly.

When it comes to tea, green tea is actually what Chinese people drink the most.

Among the green teas, the elegance is not as good as Longjing, the tranquility is not as good as Biluochun, and the ones with hair tip and silver needles are also the best.

These teas are all top-quality teas made by local tea farmers based on the types of tea trees that are locally produced. If it is a single-wheel taste, it can only be said that everyone has their own preferences, no matter whether it is high or low.

And the black tea she makes tastes good, but it cannot be said that it is definitely better than those teas.

It is nothing more than for ocean voyages, and for those Fan people who eat meat every day, it is far more suitable than green tea.

Therefore, if black tea is sold in Song Dynasty, if the price is not good, it will affect the price of Fanwai.

However, this year, the Luo Cha Division said that it is not easy to get a pinch of tribute tea.

So, is it possible to consider making some Dahongpao?

Dahongpao is rock tea, if you say it carefully, it also belongs to the oolong tea series, and it is somewhat similar to Long Tuan.

Moreover, if it does not belong to the tribute tea variety, it may not be classified as tribute tea.

At that time, it will be sold in the capital, and the sales volume and price should be good.

"What are you thinking?" Xie Jue stretched out his hand, wrapped her in his arms, and asked with his head bowed.

The mountains here are dangerous, and the place where the tea trees grow is even more dangerous.

This girl is actually in a daze in such a place!

Su Yue was startled by his yelling, and blurted out: "I was thinking, we can make Dahongpao, this kind of tea tastes stronger than Long Tuan, and we can make very delicious tea with the tea leaves from Wuyi Mountain. You can also not be restricted by tribute tea."

Xie Jue frowned slightly, and said, "If you want to do it yourself again, then you won't do it."

Su Yue looked up at him.

Xie Jue sighed lightly and said, "Yue'er, I don't want you to be too tired."

I've never heard of Dahongpao before, I'm afraid it's a breed that only she knows.

Now that she is so tired making this black tea, she has to do something else...

After thinking for a while, Xie Jue continued, "After two years, you won't need to rely on tea alone to make money. You can just do what you like."

After a few years, the port was built, and the industries he spread were on track. From raw materials to finished products, from raw materials to finished products, from silk porcelain to fragrant medicines, his industries can form a virtuous circle. .

Then the profit will be generated automatically.

There is no need to rely on the characteristics of tea to obtain huge profits.

Naturally, Su Yue didn't need to work so hard to make tea.

However, he will not completely stop Su Yue from making tea.

Because when Su Yue made tea, she was so happy.

No matter how tired or bitter, the corners of her lips were hooked, and her eyes were full of joy.

The whole body is filled with joy and vitality.

Even with a veil wrapped around his head and a disheveled face covered in tea stalks, people can't take their eyes off.

He didn't want her to be tired, but he didn't want to deprive her of her joy.

Then, just make some, a few hundred catties, and just the two of them drink it.

(Xie Qirongshan Tang Bing: Hundreds of catties! We don’t even have our share!)
Su Yue thought about it, if she went back to the capital next year as planned, it would be impossible to make tea like this again.

Those big men will take another year next year. It is no problem to make black tea and black tea, but they have to be taught to make Dahongpao again...

Forget it.

Then he nodded and said, "Well, what the third master said is true."

The long-distance voyage to Zanzibar requires a lot of preparation work. Half of the third round of tea is made. After Xie Jue ordered it to be sent directly to Quanzhou, he took Su Yue to play around Sanqing Mountain, and then went to Jiuhua Mountain to pay homage The gods and Buddhas turned around and returned to Quanzhou at the end of June.
