The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

When the people standing in the yard heard Li Fu say this, their wooden faces regained some life.

Learn a skill to support the family, work, earn money, build a house, and marry a wife.

These seemingly ordinary things are so rare for them.

They are all servants who sell their bodies. They have to work hard for their masters all their lives. If they are lucky, they will be bought back and clean and serve people in the house. If they are unlucky, they will meet a cruel master and no one will care if they are beaten to death by accident.

Among the people bought back, there are also a few half-grown boys. They should be eating and growing at the age, but now they look even more skinny, as if they can be blown down by a gust of wind.

How can the people of Yaxing feed these people? What if they run away after eating? Let alone whether they run away or not, isn’t food money?

"Today, you should clean yourself up and have a full meal. Starting tomorrow, the yard next door will be your temporary work place. There will be a master to lead you and teach you the craft. I have given you this opportunity, you must also work hard and don't let people down, understand?"

"Yes."

The people standing responded sparsely, and their voices were weak.

"Xiao Tao, tell the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge at noon today, and make it thicker." Li Fu said, and then said to the people below: "Today, let you rush to eat full, but don't eat too much. You have been starving for a long time, and your body is fragile. Once you eat too much, it is easy to die. You will have enough food in the future. Don't worry, there is plenty of time, understand?"

Most of the new tea leaves collected yesterday are still in the warehouse, and they have to be processed today.

The "old master" who originally came from Chang'an City was taught by Li Fu himself. Starting yesterday, they started to work in the yard over there while collecting tea leaves outside.

But next, they still have to take apprentices.

These are the people who were brought back today, the ones bought from the trade.

Everything is in order in chaos.

The yard next door is not big, but it is enough to accommodate them. It was not originally used for living, and the area enclosed when it was built was not small.

Moreover, this temporary place will not take long, at least two months, the tea house can be built, and then this place can be directly demolished.

There are bigger and more spacious tea houses with better conditions, so this place is not needed.

There are more and more people working in the tea house. At the beginning, there were 200 people, and now there are 300 people. They spend money every day to hire people and buy materials.

The big iron pot at the blacksmith's side is still being made.

When the tea house is completed, the big iron pots needed will not be three, but thirty, or even more.

Therefore, everyone is working hard.

There were also groups of carpenters working on the open space of the tea house. In this way, once the tea house was built and all the utensils were complete, they could move in and set up the house, saving a lot of time.

After all, there is strength in numbers. In one and a half months, the main part of the tea house had been built.

The accountant was also busy. He had to record the workers and pay them after the tea house was built.

Li Fu brought guards, and the accountant only brought one, so many people were found locally.

The later it was, the more money was spent like running water.

In the room where the money was originally stored, the empty boxes were increasing day by day.

However, all the efforts were worth it. Changes were also visible near the tea mountain.

Li Fu was also very friendly to the local people who came to work. Li Fu, who always claimed to be a capitalist, would not let them not get their wages for their work, nor would he let them work overtime day and night without overtime pay.

The temporary workshop also produced a lot of tea. The boxes that were originally used to store copper coins were all vacated to store tea, but this was far from enough. In addition to the boxes, there were also many sacks.

Qu Yanghe brought people back from Chuzhou and brought back two large carts of jasmine flowers.

Li Fu began to study jasmine tea again.

In the origin of tea, Li Fu did not feel sorry for how much raw materials were wasted for researching new tea.

Those who were bought from the trade had been following the master to learn how to fry tea conscientiously. They had learned almost everything since they started working for the master.

The main thing was that there was enough raw materials, so there was no need to worry about the cost of learning.

After the first month, Li Fu gave them "internship wages".

The money they received was definitely not as much as the master, but for the wages paid by Li FuThey were still surprised by the amount.

Is Langjun some kind of God of Wealth or Good Fortune Boy?

He is really generous.

However, what they have seen and heard here during this period of time is eye-opening compared to before.

Langjun really spends money when he has it, and he doesn't seem to feel sorry at all.

Li Fu asked Qu Yanghe to move a sack of jasmine flowers to the temporary workshop.

"Stop for a while after this pot of tea comes out." Li Fu said, "Study something new."

The tea frying master who was busy responded quickly, but did not stop his hands.

Li Fu only knew that jasmine tea contains green tea and jasmine petals, a layer of tea leaves and a layer of petals, but he really didn't know how to make it specifically.

Tea leaves are good at absorbing odors. From the jasmine tea I drank before, it is obvious that the petals have no traces of being fried.

So, the flowers of jasmine tea will not be put into the pot.

If they are not put into the pot, how to deal with it? Just add the petals and it's done?

"Get a clean wooden barrel." Li Fu said.

The people next to him hurried to get the wooden barrel.

Li Fu brought the already fried green tea over, sprinkled a layer of green tea in the wooden barrel, then grabbed the jasmine petals and sprinkled another layer of petals in.

What to do after sprinkling?

How to make the tea absorb the fragrance of the petals in full?

Seal?

Li Fu pondered for a while and found that he used the wrong wooden barrel. If you want to seal it and keep the tea and petals together, you need to use a waxed barrel or wrap them together with oil paper to mix the fragrance of the two.

Thinking of this, Li Fu decided to try it.

Take jasmine tea as an example. If it is made, then all flower teas will have the same steps, and you can even study fruit tea in the future.

But these are things for the future. Let's make jasmine tea first.

This is all money.

One third of the cash flow has been invested here, and after a while, it will be time to see the return of the money.
