Following Adrian's actions, everyone picked up the tea cups in front of them, imitated Adrian's actions, and drank the green tea in one gulp. Then Adrian discovered by observing everyone's expressions,
The senior executives under him show a polarized preference for tea, a new beverage.
Those who were older or those who preferred the spellcasting profession showed expressions of surprise, while others who preferred the warrior profession showed mediocre expressions. Although they did not show disgust, they did not seem to like it too much. The only thing that made Adrian look at
The one who didn't show any expression was Batum. He was too nervous. He just drank the tea in one gulp and returned to his serious expression.
This made Adrian a little disappointed, so he was going to try again. This time, he would add guidance and see the effect. Adrian motioned to Vicki to try again. When Vicki served everyone for the second time
After a cup of green tea, Adrian raised his glass again and said:
"This is an emerging beverage, and tea is different from all the beverages you have drunk before. To be honest, if you want to truly feel the charm of tea, you need a little skill. Now follow my guidance and taste it carefully, and you will
Fall in love with it.”
Adrian didn't look at everyone's expressions. He was going to use the same rhetoric that his grandfather taught him about drinking tea when he was a child to teach these bumpkin from another world how to drink a cup of real green tea:
"Drink one-third of the tea in the cup in front of you. Yes, don't swallow it. Let the tea flow on your tongue and feel its taste. Be careful not to make a sound. It's impolite. Breathe out through your nose and feel the faint feeling with your heart.
, precious aroma, okay, that's it, now put all the tea under your tongue, and squeeze it out, do you feel the sweetness? Is it like the journey of life, slightly bitter, slightly
Hui Gan is like telling us that life is actually not that bad, although it is not that good either..."
Adrian's prose-like guidance successfully brought his attendants and vassal leaders into a whole new world. Well, with the exception of Tutam, he wanted to better feel the feeling Adrian described.
He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. Bron next to him secretly kicked him, and he immediately opened his eyes and returned to sitting upright, making everyone around him smile.
Adrian's guidance was successful. After everyone drank the tea in their hands in three sips, he successfully made everyone except Tutam feel the charm of tea. This kind of tea is slightly different from coffee.
The new bland drink, after getting over the initial strangeness, fully demonstrated its charm. Even a taciturn man like Orch was now looking at Ai with expectant eyes.
Derian, it's obvious they all want another drink.
Adrian thought for a while, then motioned to Vicky to serve them a third cup of tea, and said: "Because the production is limited now, we only have this cup. If you want to drink it again, you have to wait until the finished product is available next time.
Okay, now let’s discuss how we should sell this emerging beverage.”
Alfred held the tea cup in his hand, reluctantly swallowed the last sip of tea, and said with sigh: "You are really a genius, Lord, no wonder you can write "Glenson Tower Encyclopedia Erudite" like this
It’s amazing that Chef Baggins was able to create such a charming new drink under your guidance.”
Alfred's flattery did not make Adrian feel happy. He said humbly: "Okay, Alfred, this is just the beginning. We still have many difficulties to face. The dust of history has also buried many outstanding creations."
, if we cannot succeed, tea will only become one of them. Okay, let’s analyze it. If you have any suggestions, you can put forward any suggestions, or make an estimate of the difficulties we are about to face, so that we can
We should be mentally prepared. After all, although there is no monopoly in coffee, there are still a few big businessmen who specialize in the coffee business. If we are not prepared, it will be very difficult."
What Adrian said is true. Just in the Nanfeng Forest of Foehn Windflee's family, there are three large-scale forest farms that specialize in planting coffee trees, specializing in supplying the mid-to-low-end coffee market.
Among them, two are unique to the Foehn Windflee family, and the other one shares half of the ownership and output with the White Light Granbo family.
Adrian did not intend to directly confront the family. This was unrealistic and immoral, so Adrian planned his tea product line and only made it for the highest-end market. This would not only avoid conflicts with the family
Direct competition, and despite the current shortage of manpower, ensures that the output of Vicki, Luke and Baggins can meet market demand.
Alfred had obviously thought of this, and he said hesitantly: "Lord, the emergence of tea will inevitably impact the coffee market, but the family's pillar industry also includes coffee, so..."
Alfred did not continue speaking, but everyone present except Tutam could understand it, and their faces also showed worried looks. Although most of them maintained absolute respect for Adrian,
Loyalty, but loyalty does not have to be a multiple-choice question, and they are not willing to face the family, but Adrian waved his hand indifferently and said:
"There is no need to worry about this issue. Everyone, our output is not enough to directly impact the family's coffee industry. One is that we do not have enough manpower. Now only Vicki can grow tea, and can process fresh young leaves.
Only Chef Baggins can produce finished products, so the output is extremely limited. Even if we want to expand the scale, we will have to wait at least two years until the Code of Order allows me to recruit citizens freely. Therefore, tea is destined to not be a
As a low-priced product, the emergence of tea will not directly impact the family’s coffee industry.”
Alfred breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Adrian's statement, but immediately raised a new question with concern: "But Lord, if we directly define tea as a mid-to-high-end commodity, how are we going to classify it?"
Sell it. Although tea is indeed an excellent beverage, it is just a beverage. If the price is too high..."
Before Alfred could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Adrian waving his hand: "Don't you feel it? Afu?"
Alfred was stunned: "What?"
Adrian did not answer Alfred's question, but turned to the mages: "Do you feel it? My mages, especially you, Captain Lana."
Lana frowned. Adrian's confused questions made her a little confused, but she couldn't question Adrian, so she had to focus all her attention on herself. Soon Lana looked shocked.
With an expression on her face, she looked at Adrian in disbelief and said in a surprised tone:
"I feel Lord Lord, my spiritual power..."
A confident smile appeared on Adrian's lips, and he said: "Are you particularly mentally active? Well, according to my calculations, within thirty minutes of drinking tea, the level of mental activity will at least increase.
It has reached 30%. For some people with sensitive constitutions, it may reach 40%. What do you think, if you drink tea and then practice, how much efficiency can be improved? Well, the most important thing is that this does not
It is not a psychostimulant, has no side effects, and is completely safe and harmless."
Following Adrian's answer, everyone turned their attention back to themselves. As expected, they found that their mental power was much more active than before drinking the tea. They even felt that their thinking was clearer. Alfred's face showed
Looking at Adrian in shock: "Lord..."
Adrian said confidently: "Don't worry Afu, except myself, Vicky and Luke, no one knows where the tea trees are planted. Besides, the Code of Order is not a decoration. Only I will not be in danger. No one will
What can you do to me?"
"However, it is still too dangerous. According to you, this is a psychostimulant that can be mass-produced and has no side effects. It will bring huge benefits that no one dares to imagine, and this belongs to those who are alone outside.
You, I'm worried..."
"There's nothing to be careful about, Ah Fu. My father should have applied to the top management of Green Tower to build a new Green Tower on the other side of the Dupar River. He himself may stay there permanently and wait for the tea to earn money.
After obtaining the magic crystal, the level of our tree people will also be improved, and we can plant more tree people. In that case, unless the Great Elder of the Holy Spirit..."
Adrian didn't say anything, but everyone knew what Adrian wanted to express. This was actually a subtle slap from Adrian to his subordinates. The implication was, don't steal tea tree seeds and run away.
The idea of another big forest, first of all, it is impossible, and secondly, even if you steal it, you can't escape.
After the stick was revealed, Adrian was ready to give his men a carrot to eat. He continued: "Of course, as the veterans of the Solar Storm Territory, you will be able to get a certain ration every month after the mass production of tea is achieved.
, this is your welfare, after all, only when you are strong can the security of the territory be guaranteed."
The good news announced by Adrian instantly cheered up the somewhat heavy atmosphere. His subordinates expressed their loyalty to Adrian. Of course Adrian knew that this was all sincerity, just like in the previous life, there was only love and bread.
If you have everything, your marriage and family will be stable, so he readily accepted:
"I don't doubt you. Now, please go back to your posts. By the way, Ah Fu will stay."
Everyone dispersed, Alfred stayed, and Adrian said straight to the point: "Your brother Ralph is coming soon. Alfred, I want to know what your plans are for the future."
Alfred's heart sank for a moment, but he quickly adjusted. He said: "Everything in the Solar Storm Territory belongs to you, Lord Lord, so no matter what arrangements you have for me, it cannot affect my loyalty to you.
.”
Adrian nodded with satisfaction, patted Alfred on the shoulder and said:
"Very good, Afu, you should know that compared to Ralph, you are more calm, and you are smarter and more adventurous, so if you stay in the territory to compete with Ralph,
This is using your shortcomings to compete with Ralph's strengths. You are closer to me, so I don't want to see you wasting your time in frustration. And there is a position I want to give to you. After all, besides Vicki
, the only person I trust most in the territory is you."
Alfred had quickly adjusted his mentality and said: "May I ask what position it is, Lord?"
"You also know how much profit tea contains, so I must choose someone who can be absolutely trusted to do the tea selling work. When Ralph arrives, you can hand over the internal affairs of the territory to him, and then you
We are about to start building our own caravan. Well, the Sun Vine is also assigned to you. I want you to drive it to earn a large amount of magic crystals for us, my captain Alfred."
