Qin Huaidao saw that everyone had learned how to do it, so he returned to the study with a can of fried tea and brewed a pot. The familiar taste and fragrance made him feel a little emotional. It was so difficult to drink some tea.
"Cousin." Luo Zhang came over in a hurry.
"Here, have a cup of tea." Qin Huaidao poured a cup.
Luo Zhang was really thirsty, so he took a sip and poured it in. He was surprised by the unfamiliar taste, the refreshing aroma, and the faint aftertaste. He was a little surprised for a moment: "Cousin, what kind of tea is this?"
"You... are just like drinking from a cow. You don't know how to enjoy it at all. You have to look at it, smell it, and taste it. You have to taste it slowly and understand the taste. You have to know that a cup of tea can last a lifetime... Forget it, I'm a fool like you.
People don’t understand what they say, so they ask you if it tastes good?”
"It doesn't have much flavor, it's bland and has a slight fragrance, but it makes people salivate. It should quench my thirst. Give me another cup to try." Luo Zhang looked at the teapot curiously.
Qin Huaidao took a big cup, poured a full cup, pushed it over and said with a smile: "Forget it, a rough guy like you is suitable for drinking from cows. You are the one who can't taste it."
"My cousin still understands me." Luo Zhang picked up the big cup with a smile and drank it in two or two sips. His whole body was suddenly refreshed and comfortable. The feeling of fullness and greasiness he had just finished eating also disappeared, and he suddenly became interested.
Said: "It has a very special taste. It is very comfortable to drink. Give me another drink."
For a martial arts fanatic, expect him to say elegant words such as "Try it, it will be sweet and moisturize your throat, eat it, and the pure fragrance will stay in your mouth for a long time", let alone say "One bowl will kiss and moisten the throat, two bowls will break the loneliness."
Three bowls were used to search dry intestines, but only five thousand scrolls of writing were found. Four bowls caused light sweating, and all the uneven things in life were dispersed into the pores. Five bowls were used to purify the muscles and bones, and six bowls were opened to immortal spirits. Seven bowls could not be eaten, and only the armpits could be felt.
Poems such as "The breeze is born."
Qin Huaidao poured another large cup, and after Luo Zhang finished drinking it, he asked: "How much do you think this tea is worth?"
Luo Zhang thought for a while and said seriously: "This tea is very special. It has the effects of smoothing the flow, digestion, and quenching thirst. A cup of it is worth a hundred dollars."
Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Zhang could accept it and gave a 100-wen evaluation. Others were similar. The tea was ready, but it could not be sold directly. It is not easy to change a person's eating habits. New things take time.
, more opportunities are needed to launch it, there is no rush.
"By the way, cousin, I almost forgot about the business. There is a group of Baiqisi people outside the mansion. The boss of the Cheng family is leading the group. I asked about it and it was said that Li Shangshu wrote a letter, suggesting that the Lord increase security in the area.
"
"Li Xiaogong, Baiqisi?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, but he quickly understood the meaning. Li Xiaogong did this to prevent others from stealing and robbing the sword, so that he could win it in the public auction. As for Baiqisi, it was Xuanjia
Why are the elite soldiers in the army, Li Er's ace personal army, sent here?
If it was just for security reasons, it would be enough to send the city guards, and there was no need to send out Baiqisi. Did Li Er's conscience find out? Or did he find his own value and want to win over him?
Soon, Qin Huaidao thought of another possibility - ensuring that the sword was not lost!
Luo Zhang added with a worried look: "One more thing. The prince came to ask questions in person. When he got to the door, he was blocked by Baiqisi. His face was ugly when he left. I'm afraid he has a grudge. What should I do? That is the prince, and in the future
If you want to ascend to Dabao, how should you punish me when the time comes?"
"It doesn't matter, just let nature take its course." Qin Huaidao consoled him. He was not worried at all. He was just a deposed prince seeking death. He would have rebelled in a few more years and died on the way to Qianzhou.
"But?" Luo Zhang didn't know the direction of history and was very worried.
"I'll give you a task. There were many loyal people who followed your father back then. Pick some trustworthy ones and contact them secretly. I'm going to do some business here and need trustworthy manpower."
Luo Zhang's expression changed and he reminded: "This is a despicable industry, aren't you afraid?"
Among the four types of people, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, merchants ranked at the bottom, with low status. They were dignified as princes of the country and nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Once they went into business, they would be looked down upon and even cause endless trouble. Of course Qin Huaidao understood the risks, but he was not afraid at all. He smiled.
: "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, we can find a reliable person to come forward. I am behind the scenes. Which official in the DPRK doesn't do this? Who doesn't have some property in their house?"
"Yes, how much does it cost?" Luo Zhang immediately felt relieved when he heard that Qin Huaidao would not leave immediately.
"The more, the better. Contact us first and be on call at any time." Qin Huaidao warned seriously. People were a burden to other people in the Tang Dynasty, but to Qin Huaidao, they were the best resources and could make money.
"I understand. If I have nothing else to do, I will go on patrol." Luo Zhang stood up and left.
Looking at Luo Zhang's leaving figure, Qin Huaidao's eyes were bright, and the bold plan that he had been thinking about for the past few days came to his mind - to open a large barbecue bar that was unique in the Tang Dynasty, integrating fighting games, music, entertainment, and food, forming a
A self-produced and self-sold commercial entertainment empire.
Apart from eating, the Datang Restaurant does not offer any other entertainment. The business is very simple. The romantic place is full of lasciviousness and is too feminine. The whole of Chang'an and even the whole of Datang lacks a masculine entertainment place.
The Tang Dynasty was good at martial arts, and fighting games would definitely attract people, especially retired veterans. There is no shortage of retired veterans in Chang'an City, not to mention there are two to three hundred thousand troops stationed there. There is no shortage of consumers. Brewing high-quality liquor and cold beer will attract people even more.
There are only two methods. These two have technical thresholds and are not afraid of being imitated or plagiarized.
If you get some fruit wine, low-alcohol liquor, wine, etc., and add real men's music that you are familiar with, such as River Red, Be loyal to the country, Men should be self-improvement, etc., and combine it with barbecue delicacies that are not available in the Tang Dynasty and freshly made fried tea, don't
Speaking of warriors and sergeants, even the emperor's relatives, dignitaries, literati, wealthy businessmen, envoys from various countries, ladies, talented men and beauties, etc. can all be attracted to them.
As long as it has enough features, it will definitely become popular in Chang'an City.
In the last life, Qin Huaidao's squad leader returned home after retiring and opened a veteran's barbecue music bar. Qin Huaidao rushed to help during his vacation. From decoration to opening, operation and management, he was not very professional in every aspect, but he was very knowledgeable.
After some thinking and analysis, Qin Huaidao found that there were many things, very difficult, and might even lead to suppression, coveting, and even clever robbery from wealthy families, which would cause endless troubles. However, there was no technical problem. The only difficulty was hops. Datang still had problems.
No one uses this stuff, it's not available on the market, and beer without hops is soulless.
Fortunately, when Qin Huaidao was helping the old squad leader, he knew that there were hops in Jiuquan, Zhangye and even Sichuan in later generations. He should be able to find them after a trip. As for liquor, when he was a child, every household brewed distilled liquor, fruit wine, wine, etc., and he had already seen a lot of them.
If you have broad knowledge and clear principles, it won't be a big problem if you try it a few times.
There is no problem with the ingredients for barbecue. After taking the tea mountain, you can raise it yourself and plant it. You can get start-up capital by selling the sword. The only problem is the lack of people, the lack of reliable and available people.
"If it doesn't work, we can invite the nobles to join us. The nobles and nobles will work together to advance and retreat together. Especially military generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, who are closely related to Qin Qiong, can also help share some external pressure."
Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Youcai hurried in and said anxiously: "Young Master, something big has happened."
"What's up?"
"The Wang family cut off the water source upstream. The villagers argued with the Wang family and a conflict broke out. Five were killed and ten were seriously injured. The injured were all taken away by the Chang'an County government."
"What? In an ordinary conflict, five were killed and ten were seriously injured. How could this happen? Could it be that the Wang family came prepared?" Qin Huaidao was surprised and smelled a conspiracy. It couldn't be two assassinations.
If it doesn't work, then you will deliberately set up a trap to lure yourself out of the house for assassination, right?
Jia Youcai was stunned for a moment. After all, he was a veteran who had seen the world. He also realized that something was wrong. He said in a deep voice: "It seems something is wrong. I will go and find out."
"Don't worry, take a few people to the village in person and call the doctor. Give twenty taels of silver to the dead and ten taels to the injured. To calm down your mood, don't be impulsive. Just say that I will give everyone an explanation."
Qin Huaidao quickly explained that even if he was not implicated, he still had to take care of it, otherwise how would the Duke's government maintain its face?
Jia Youcai hesitated for a moment, thinking of the small amount of money he had in his house, and wanted to persuade him, but he was suspected of committing an offense, and because twenty taels of silver could give the victim's family hope of survival, he held back and left in a hurry.
"The Wang family, since you are eager to seek death, let me help you!"
Qin Huaidao gritted his teeth and said, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
