Chapter 197 Huangshan Maofeng
During this period, Lu Zhuocheng introduced another business, and Zhao Zhen met in the shop in front of the house without going out. After Zhao Zhen saw it, he made a decision on the spot.
Although it is not something in short supply, it is not easy to buy in bulk. This batch of tea leaves are all from the land of Wuyue, and the price is 220 Wen per catty. This batch of tea leaves totaled 4,000 kilograms, and together with the commission, it cost Zhao Zhen 890 guan.
The shopkeeper’s surname is Lu, and he is called Lu Linhe. He claims that the ancestor of the family obtained half a volume of the "Tea Classic" as a guide, and then led the Lu family on the path of growing, making and selling tea. Road, my family has a tea garden of 300 hectares.
It was also Lu Zhuocheng's luck. Today he went to Dongshi for a stroll and happened to meet Lu Linhe who had just arrived in Gao Kingdom. He saw Lu Linhe selling tea and came up to talk.
Lu Zhuocheng said: "The shopkeeper's name is Lu Zhuocheng, a native of this county. I wonder what the shopkeeper's name is?"
Lu Linhe made an introduction, took out tea leaves, invited Lu Zhuocheng to sit down, and brewed a pot. . After drinking tea, Lu Linhe asked: "Lu Yalang, how do you like my tea?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Put it into a cup and brew it, the mist will form on top, and the color of the soup will be clear green and slightly yellow. I don't know how much it will cost. ?”
Lu Linhe said: “The actual price is 250 yuan per pound”
Lu Zhuocheng asked again: “How much do you have here, and what is the price if you buy it in large quantities?”

After hearing this, Lu Linhe looked much more solemn, "I still have over 4,000 kilograms left here. Based on 4,000 kilograms, if a big customer comes to pay for it, it will actually cost 220 yuan. The brother's commission is one hundred and two."
After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng took Lu Linhe directly to Zhao Zhen. As expected by Lu Zhuocheng, Zhao Zhen ate it in one bite. Lu Zhuocheng took commission from both sides of this business and made a small profit of 30 guan. Naturally, his face became more and more smiling.
Lu Linhe was very happy to see that the transaction was completed. He also took five kilograms of fine tea from the caravan and gave it to Zhao Zhen. He said, "Mr. Zhao, this is carefully selected by my family. Feng]."
"This tea is made from the fat and tender buds of Huangshan large-leaf species during the Qingming Festival. It is slightly curly in shape, green and yellowish. The silver hair is exposed, and there are golden fish leaves. "Zhao Yuan looked outside."
As he spoke, Lu Linhe took out a small handful of tea leaves and showed them to Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng. , said: "This kind of top-notch tea, one bud and one leaf, has been cured, rolled, and baked. It is covered with white hair and has sharp buds and awns. The fresh leaves are collected from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, so it is named [Huangshan Maofeng]." .”
As he spoke, he brewed a pot of hot water, poured it into the cup, and said: "This tea is clear and slightly yellow in color, with yellow-green leaves at the bottom. When you smell it, the aroma is like orchid, the flavor is deep, and the taste is mellow. ."
Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng picked up the cups and put them under their noses. Just as Lu Linhe said, the tea was fragrant.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, I wonder how the production of this tea is? Are there any advanced ones?"
Lu Linhe did not hide anything, and said: "This ordinary tea is a The annual production of tea is only 30 kilograms, and the production of good bud tea is even less. As for advanced tea, I won't lie. I do have several advanced tea trees growing on the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds. Don’t dare to pick more. One tea tree only produces five kilograms of tea every year, and a kilogram of tea is sold for 300 guan. It has the function of detoxifying and increasing the spirit.”
“I brought 10 kilograms with me this time, and only one was left. Jin, the rest have been sold along the way. If you want it, I’ll get it.”
Seeing Zhao Zhen nod, Lu Linhe went to get another exquisite porcelain jar, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen took it and opened the lid, and a scent of tea came to his face. Look carefully.
Perhaps Zhao Zhen used it too much, and this time he got results all at once in the main world.
[100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng]: (Spiritual object, first level, produced from Huangshan tea trees that have been carefully cultivated for hundreds of years)
Effect 1: Detoxification (Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, met seventy-two in one day Poison can be solved with tea)
Effect 2: Those who drink tea continuously for one month and have less than 30 energy will get +1 energy.
After looking at it, Zhao Zhen immediately took out 300 guan of money to buy it, and said to Lu Linhe: "Shopkeeper Lu, if there is a lot of this tea, I would like to buy more."
Lu Linhe said: "Exceptor Zhao, I do still have some at home this year. The journey back and forth is long, so I won't go out again this year. I don't know how many brothers want. Next spring, the caravan will go north to sell tea."
Zhao Zhen said: " Shopkeeper Lu, the brothers need at least ten kilograms for the advanced ones, and four thousand kilograms for those who are not advanced."
After hearing this, Lu Linhe looked happy, after all, he had found another big customer. Lu Zhuocheng was also very happy. As Zhao Zhen's fan, Lu Zhuocheng could draw commissions three times from the same person. Lu Linhe said: "If it is settled, I will come again next year. They will all be new tea during the Qingming Festival. Even ordinary tea will be better than the current batch."
After deciding to buy tea, Zhao Zhen sighed: "Shopkeeper Lu, growing tea is more profitable than growing grain. Unfortunately, there are no tea seeds in Gao State."
Lu Linhe said: "That's right. Not sure. I heard that there are tea plants in Qi and Ju. I have never been to Ju. I only mentioned that in Qi, there is Jimo County. There is a fairy mountain on the seaside, shrouded in a sea of fog, called Laoshan, and there is a Taoist temple in the mountain called Shangqing Palace. The Taoist traveled to Huangshan and brought back tea species. After many years of cultivation, the tea species of "Southern Tea and Northern Tea" was finally formed."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen was moved. He was thinking, and asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, is it possible to grow tea in Gaoguo?"
Lu Linhe hesitated for a moment and said: "Exceptor, I really don't know about this matter. I heard from the Taoist priest of Shangqing Palace that Laoshan tea It took a lot of time to cultivate. The first 5,000 tea trees were introduced, but none survived. Afterwards, 50,000 tea trees were introduced, and only 11 survived."
"If members want to plant it, Laoshan tea will be easier to grow here. As for whether it can survive, I can't guarantee it."
"Growing tea is not easy, and making tea is even more complicated. There are differences between fried green tea, baked green tea, sun-dried green tea and steamed green tea. "If Yuan Wai is willing to plant it, I will bring some tea seeds to Yuan Wai next time."
After that, Lu Lin He once again explained the matters of growing and making tea. It was not because Lu Linhe was generous, but because he had seen the geography of the State of Gao, and sincerely he did not think that tea could be grown here. I have been to Mount Laoshan myself, and I know that Mount Laoshan is close to the sea, and like Mount Huangshan, it is often filled with fog. Gao State does not have such an environment.
Hearing what Lu Linhe said, Zhao Zhen was very happy and asked someone to bring ten catties of Geng cakes to Lu Linhe. After Lu Linhe had eaten, he said to Zhao Zhen: "Executive member, how to sell this Geng cake?"
Zhao Zhen said: "This Geng cake is three pounds per pound. The total in the store is only 4,000 pounds. Half of it has been sold in the past few days." I want all of them."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Shopkeeper Lu, you also know that children and women are addicted to sweets. Half of the business of my small shop relies on Geng cakes to attract business, and most of them are sold. You have a thousand pounds.”
After hearing this, Lu Linhe nodded and asked the waiter to get the money. Not only did Lu Linhe get back the 1,180 Guan money he had spent, but he also found Zhao Zhen's 1,820 Guan money.
After the transaction was completed, Lu Linhe and Zhao Zhen agreed on a date and stood up to leave.
Zhao Zhen and Lu Zhuocheng stood up to see each other off.
After seeing Lu Linhe and his assistant driving the carriage away, they returned to the shop and heard Lu Zhuocheng say: "Zhao Erlang, do you really want to plant tea trees?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I heard from Lu Linhe that these tea trees are grown on hillside and do not require fertile land. The profit is high. Luliu Village and my fantasy world are both hills, so naturally I want to try it."
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Zhuocheng: "Lu Sanlang, listen to what Lu Linhe said, there are tree species in Laoshan, do you dare to buy them?"
After hearing this, Lu Zhuocheng replied: "This What do you have? How many tea saplings does Mr. Zhao need? I will buy them tomorrow so that they can be planted in late autumn.”
Zhao Zhen said: "What Lu Linhe said is that there are always ten seedlings. I will provide 550 seedlings. How about asking Sanlang to buy 5,000 seedlings and send them over?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Okay, I will ride a horse to Jimo tomorrow. County shopping, return within five days at most. "Zhao Erlang, just wait for my good news."
After Zhao Zhen paid the principal and remuneration, Lu Zhuocheng excitedly began to make arrangements for tomorrow's trip. When Zhao Zhen saw it, he didn't bother him and returned to the courtyard with this jar of [100-year-old Huangshan Maofeng].
