Chapter 30: The first appearance of the impressive Yuyuan Tea Shop
"That's right, princess."
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and continued: "I'm about to buy some tea cakes... Uh, let's go back and see the price of the tea..."
Hearing this, Changle also became a little more serious. When it comes to money, it is impossible for her not to be serious.
Changle thought for a while and said, "Uncle Cheng, our tea is sold to outsiders for one tael of silver per catty."
The weight of one kilogram in the Tang Dynasty is approximately 556 grams, which is not much different from the 500 grams in later generations.
For a pound of tea, taking Pu'er tea from later generations as an example, if it is loose tea, it can be filled with 1.5 to 2 bags in an ordinary medium-sized supermarket plastic bag, which is equivalent to the size of 1.5 basketballs.
If it is pressed cake tea, you can pack about one bag, which is about the size of half a basketball.
Generally speaking, the amount of tea you drink each time should not exceed 10g. If you make a cup of tea at 5g per cup every day, then a pound of tea can be brewed 100 times, which is enough for at least three months.
If you add 3g of tea each time, then one pound of tea is enough to drink for half a year.
The voice fell.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He originally thought such delicious tea was very expensive, but it turned out that it only cost one tael of silver per pound.
Yesterday, Lin Youwei sold him 2 taels of silver for just one cup!!
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin felt the ill will from society.
Plus shopping around,
The three tea cake shops next door all have the same price of one tael per catty, and the taste of their tea cakes is far inferior to Changchun Tea.
At the same price, which one to choose is basically a no-brainer.
"but……"
Suddenly, Changle spoke again.
Cheng Yaojin was a little worried and asked: "Princess, what is it?"
Changle's eyebrows were full of worry, "But as long as Uncle Cheng tells me about the current situation of my father, the emperor and my mother, I can make the decision privately and secretly give you a pound of tea, and it will be the best quality."
Cheng Yaojin was startled for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Princess, you've just seen this out of the blue. Am I, Cheng Yaojin, the kind of person who takes advantage?"
"Nowadays, His Majesty is still dealing with state affairs, but he is also very concerned about your affairs. From time to time, he will talk about whether you are living well in Baiyun County."
"It's just that there are too many things going on recently, so I have no time to distract myself."
"And your mother, Queen Changsun, has been crying every day since she woke up. She really wants to come out to see you, but because of her reputation and the fact that you were expelled from the palace in secret, she can't leave the palace privately.
, was caught."
"Mother...Father..." Changle was extremely worried, but he could only worry in his heart.
Cheng Chumo, who was standing by, saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, and immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I think your husband is very powerful. He probably didn't make the tea by himself, right?"
"After all, he is the same age as me, how can he be so good? Is there anyone else who can help him?"
Changle was immediately unhappy with these words.
She curled her lips and said, "This is all my husband's fault. I saw it with my own eyes."
Just like that, the heavy topic was transferred.
At the same time, Qin Wenyuan was still receiving Lin Youwei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, what a gift, what a gift!" Lin Youwei said with a smile on his face.
He didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he came in, Qin Wenyuan greeted him respectfully.
And now, he even wants to give himself three kilograms of tea.
He really likes this tea!
After giving away three kilograms at once, even the old-fashioned man is now happy.
Qin Wenyuan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, it's just a small courtesy, not worth mentioning."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Qin a lot." Lin Youwei also smiled.
At this moment, Lin Youwei knew very well.
Serving Qin Wenyuan's tea is a different kind of bribery.
But he was willing to accept it. After all, it was extremely important to him to be able to establish a relationship with the genius who developed the Luban Lock technology!
The two were talking and laughing all the way, but when they were on the second floor of the tea shop, Xu Gou came over.
He leaned into Qin Wenyuan's ear and said something in detail.
After hearing this, Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Uncle Hu, take Mr. Lin for a walk. I have something to do, so I will go out and take a look first."
Hu Guang on the side nodded and waved, as if he was driving Qin Wenyuan away.
Soon, Qin Wenyuan and Xu Gou left together.
At the door of the tea shop, Qin Wenyuan found Chang Le and said nervously: "Madam, Duke Lu, he didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
It turns out that what Xu Gou reported just now was what happened to Cheng Yaojin.
Changle shook his head, "No, Duke Lu just came here to buy some tea."
"What about others?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Looking at the nervous Qin Wenyuan, Changle laughed suddenly.
With a smile on her lips, she continued: "I bought tea and left naturally."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
Immediately, Qin Wenyuan took Chang Le and devoted himself to managing his own shop again.
On this day, the tea shop in Changyuan was very busy.
Because of the success of tea, the reputation of Changyuan Tea Shop has completely exploded!
Not only the west of Chang'an City, but also other areas of Chang'an have been heard a little bit.
The huge crowds alone caused queues from the time it opened until it closed in the evening.
If Changyuan Tea Shop hadn't confirmed that it was closed today, I'm afraid the sea of people would have been waiting until midnight.
Seriously, it’s the pinnacle of debut!
…………
Night, Chang'an Avenue.
The earth is sleeping.
The breeze gently blew the willow branches, and except for the occasional barking of a dog, the deserted street was silent.
Today is a very memorable day for Changyuan Tea Shop.
But for another restaurant in the west of the city, Ruyi Tea Shop, it was the most tragic day!
Ruyi Tea Shop, inside the lobby.
“Bang!!”
After serving the tea cup, it was smashed to the ground.
But no one cares!
The people below all looked terrified, not even daring to raise their heads to look at the people above them.
Because, the person above this head is clearly a member of the Lu family, which is at the height of Chang'an today!
Lu Qian, this person is not a member of the main line of the Lu family, but he is the top helmsman in charge of the entire Ruyi Tea Shop.
It can be said that the Lu family has completely handed over the tea cake business to Lu Qian.
"Master, tell me, what is going on? Why do all I see and hear today include news about a tea shop called Yuanyuan Tea Shop in the west of Chang'an City?"
"A few days ago, didn't I ask you to show off the beauty of the Changyuan Tea Shop on its opening day? How come he can still be so upbeat?"
Lu Qian asked suppressing his anger.
Li Xiaoran took a step forward and said calmly: "Master, I did follow your instructions this morning and brought dozens of people with me, but... Qin Wenyuan, the helmsman of Changyuan Tea Shop, he is not simple!"
