"Perhaps we can build another winery. There are too many fruits left in the orchard, and we can brew all kinds of fruit wine. With the quality of those fruits, even if we don't have the recipe for monkey wine, the taste will definitely be very good."
Zhou Huayang was thinking secretly.
That night, I still took Pang Dun'er to Xishan to spend the night.
I was ready to return the next day and stopped by a tea factory on the way.
"Mr. Zhou."
Employees were already in place and were cleaning. When they saw Zhou Huayang coming with Pang Dun'er and Xiaoxue, they immediately greeted each of them warmly.
I don’t know who started it, but now the employees call Zhou Huayang “Mr. Zhou”.
He never expected that one day he would be called that by the villagers.
"Uncle Sun, how is it working here?"
Zhou Huayang was chatting with an uncle.
This man had a good relationship with his father. He was fired from the construction site some time ago, so Zhou Huayang recruited him.
"Okay, it couldn't be better. The new house has been built. I'm just waiting for a good day to move in. Then you will come to my house for a drink." The big man smiled brightly.
Other employees also arrived at the tea factory one after another and greeted Zhou Huayang one by one.
Master Lu Yu arrived soon after, and was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Huayang.
"Mr. Zhou." Lu Yu greeted him.
Zhou Huayang was brought to the warehouse. Inside were bags of tea piled together. The green packaging with tea tree patterns was very delicate. A small number of the packaging was in small gold tin cans, which looked very high-end.
"Hmph." Fatty'er ran over. It smells so good, Master. He was running around in the warehouse.
Among all the little pets, this little bastard likes to drink tea, and is naturally more and more interested in the fragrance of tea leaves.
Zhou Huayang lifted it up, and the guy calmed down a bit.
"Hmph." Master, let's go home quickly and make tea.
"Up to now, the employees can only be considered proficient in operating the equipment. The tea produced is still a little short of heat, and there is a lot of room for improvement."
"Currently, I divide these teas into four grades, grade three, grade two, grade one and special grade. These plastic bags are packaged in grade three quality. This classification is not because they taste too bad, but because the employees have not given full play to their role.
Produce the quality that tea should have.”
"When the employees become more proficient and grasp the details, the tea produced should be able to reach second-level quality. Of course, the taste difference between third-level and second-level tea is actually subtle. It is difficult for someone who is not an expert to identify it."
Lu Yu's expression showed a hint of complexity. The quality of the tea leaves in the tea garden was so good. The delicacies from the mountains and seas were in the hands of ordinary people. No matter how poor the cooking skills were, the taste was better than ordinary dishes.
Of course, he still had a doubt. The planting and maintenance techniques were no different from those at the Dingsheng Tea Garden, or even worse, but the tea grown was so high-end, which he couldn't understand.
Zhou Huayang nodded and picked up a can of tea, about two hundred grams, with luxurious packaging.
"This is first-grade tea, roasted by me purely by hand. Even people who have not studied tea much can taste the difference between third-grade and first-grade tea."
Lu Yu came back to his senses and started talking, showing a hint of confidence, "In fact, manual frying is better than machine-made tea. All the top-quality teas on the market are hand-fried by master craftsmen."
"However, labor efficiency is far inferior to that of machines. However, with handmade tea, experienced tea makers can perfect the tea selection, greening, rolling and other aspects, and the taste will naturally be far better than that of mechanical tea."
"Among the employees in the factory, Erya is the one who is more talented. She has made rapid progress in making hand-made tea. She will be able to do it on her own in a month or two. The others will require longer training."
"In a short period of time, I still have to fry the first-grade and special-grade tea myself."
Lu Yu added.
Zhou Huayang listened attentively, nodding from time to time as a response, "The tea currently being supplied to Blue Lake Xuan is first-class tea?"
"No, it's a second-grade tea. Moreover, this tea is a bit strange. It contains a unique aroma that cannot be found in tea elsewhere. Even the special tea produced by Huangfeng Tea House, Dingsheng Tea Garden, etc. cannot compare to the products of our tea factory."
Lu Yu already regarded himself as a member of the tea factory.
"In terms of special grade, currently only the tea leaves from the century-old Pu'er tea tree on the top of the mountain are classified as special grade. However, I see that there are many tea plants in the tea garden that are of very high quality. If they are carefully cultivated for a few years, they may not be as good as that century-old Pu'er plant."
Zhou Huayang nodded. Ning Jiao had contacted him earlier and discussed the price of new products launched recently. The price of tea was one thousand two hundred yuan for a pot of tea in Blue Lake Pavilion.
It seems very expensive, but in fact there are top domestic tea brands, and one or two tea leaves can cost more than RMB 100,000.
"Mr. Zhou, Lanhuxuan only needs about two hundred kilograms of tea leaves a week. If our tea factory makes normal progress, it can also produce eight hundred kilograms of third-grade tea leaves and five hundred kilograms of second-grade tea leaves a week. Since the money is small, I am willing to press
Purchase remaining tea leaves at market prices.”
"Third-grade tea costs 3,000 yuan per catty, second-grade tea costs 30,000 yuan per kilo, and first-grade tea costs 150,000 yuan per kilo. What do you think? For now, the tea in our Yagyu Village has not yet formed a brand.
In fact, no matter how good it tastes, it will never be sold at this price."
Lu Yu suggested that tea is also a kind of commodity, and brand effect is very important. Quality and price are directly proportional to a certain extent, but other influencing factors must also be considered.
As for the special tea, the output is too small, and Zhou Huayang has no idea of selling it to anyone yet.
"I will discuss it with Qian Junyuan. According to my own idea, I want Liusheng Village to become a brand. If I rely on Dingsheng Tea Garden, I will go through that channel. Either Qian Junyuan will pay for it, or the tea will be crowned Dingsheng Tea Garden."
The name of the tea garden."
"I also have channels here. I can try one or two. It may not be impossible to sell at the same or higher price."
Zhou Huayang thought for a while and rejected Lu Yu.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head imperceptibly. He was a little helpless. Isn't it rare that bad money drives out good money? Building a brand requires spending a lot of manpower, material resources and money, and it may not be successful.
Relying on Dingsheng Tea Garden is not the wisest choice, but it is indeed the safest. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
He stayed at the tea factory for a while, discussing tea matters with Lu Yu.
Xishan, tea garden and other employees all came to the tea factory.
Xu Qing and accountant Li Na also came. Xu Qing was carrying a nylon bag and a banknote detector in one hand.
"Come on, come on, come here! Stop what you are doing, money is being distributed, money is being distributed." Xu Qing shouted loudly.
Zhou Huayang suddenly realized that today is the middle of the month, the day when wages are paid.
The employees were in high spirits and flocked to Xu Qing one after another. As Xu Qing scolded him, "It's so noisy. I won't miss you. All of you should line up."
More than 30 employees gradually lined up, and some helped organize and set up tables and chairs.
"Brother Zhou, you are the boss, do you want to say a few words?" Xu Qing grinned.
