Tea merchants from other places left Jiangzhou City to purchase tea all over the country. However, what they purchased were basically ordinary tea. The only high-quality tea was the canned scented tea produced by Shen Ji.
In late April, Lu Wenqin brought people again to deliver money and account books, as well as a belated wedding gift and ten cans of pills Qi Yanrang brought.
Two cans are for Yun Luochuan, and eight cans are for Shen Wan's body conditioning.
Shen Wan didn't like taking medicine the least, but fortunately the pills Qi Yan gave her were not too unpleasant to eat.
Lu Wenqin stayed in Shen's house for two days and left with more than 10,000 cans of tea.
In the dead of night, Shen Wan, wearing single clothes, stood at the table taking medicine and frowned hard while swallowing.
Yun Luochuan came out of the shower in the stall and happened to see this scene. He stepped forward and hugged Shen Wan from behind, wrapped his long arms around her slender waist, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and muttered: "Thank you, Madam."
Shen Wan felt the hot body temperature on her back, drank another half glass of water, and said with a chuckle: "It's just a medicine, why bother?"
The medicine prepared by Qi Yan is not difficult to take, but the pills are a bit big and require some effort to swallow.
But this medicine is really good. She has taken it these past few days and found that her complexion has improved a lot.
"Anyway, madam, you have worked hard." Yun Luochuan rubbed his head in Shen Wan's neck like a baby.
Shen Wan gently patted his arm around her waist and said softly: "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."
Tonight, the boy stayed in Mrs. Yun's courtyard and slept, not in the room.
"Okay." Yun Luochuan raised his head, loosened Shen Wan's slender waist, lowered himself, and hugged her sideways.
Shen Wan, who was afraid of falling, stretched out her hands in a panic and hooked Yun Luochuan's neck. Her beautiful eyes widened and she stared at him angrily and said, "What are you doing? I said go to bed."
Yun Luochuan looked at her with a smile and said, "As a husband, I want to hold my wife on the bed to sleep."
Grandma left An An in her courtyard just to create a world for him and Yi'er. He couldn't live up to his grandmother's kindness.
"I'm talking about pure sleep." Shen Wan gritted her teeth and reiterated.
"My husband, I want to have a less pure sleep..."
When the room was darkened, the bed curtain inside the room began to sway gently.
Two days later, Yun Luochuan received good news, that is, Ling Yunzhizhong Jinshi, ranked 29th in the first class, although it is not at the top, but this ranking is already very good.
He has been appointed as the county magistrate of Yuyuan County under Jiangzhou Prefecture and will return to Jiangzhou soon.
Yun Luochuan was naturally happy when his good friend won the imperial examination and became an official. He even told Shen Wan that when Ling Yunzhi came back, he would have a banquet to celebrate him properly.
As May approached, merchants from the Western Regions came again. Like last time, he wanted as much as he wanted. He also wanted all kinds of scented tea. However, Shen Wan did not sell them all to him. Ordinary tea was sold to him for 100,000 jins. A total of 200,000 catties of flower-like tribute tea were sold to him, and he also gave him two cans of milk tea powder.
The businessman from the Western Regions just bought the tea and came back the next day to buy milk tea powder. Shen Wan had not yet allowed the factory to produce the milk tea powder on a large scale because the cows she had sent to the north to buy for her had not yet arrived, so there was no need for tea. Milk, she has no way to produce it on a large scale.
However, the cows are on their way, and production will not start until June at the earliest. A can of milk tea powder is priced at 10 taels of silver per catty. The businessman from the Western Regions waved his hand and directly gave 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit and placed an order of 10,000 taels. Can, he will come to Jiangzhou again before the Chinese New Year.
Shen Wan asked Hui'er to collect the money and write it down.
Tribute tea was delivered to the imperial city, and Xuanyuan Yu kept jasmine tea and black tea for himself. The new tea was given to him to try, but he just took one look at it and felt he didn't like it, so he gave it to the concubines in the harem.
The empresses like to drink new tea, especially rose tea and milk tea powder. When the empress held a banquet in the palace, she also brought milk tea and scented tea to entertain the ladies.
After the ladies drank it, they all asked what kind of tea it was. After leaving the palace, they asked the servants of the palace to buy it. They did not buy milk tea powder, but they bought various scented teas from the shop owned by the former general's wife.
Then there was a trend of drinking scented tea in the imperial city. The price of a jar of scented tea was raised to two hundred taels of silver, but it still attracted the ladies of Kyoto.
This gust of wind also blew from the imperial city to other places.
The tea merchants looked at their empty shelves and regretted that they were so good at their goods, and quickly sent people to Jiangzhou. Of course, this was all a story later.
