Chapter 30: The Changyuan Tea Shop's Emergence
"Yes, Princess."
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and continued, "I was just about to buy some tea cakes... er, tea leaves. You can take a look at the price..."
Hearing this, Changle became more serious. When it comes to money, it is impossible for her not to be serious.
Changle thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Cheng, our tea leaves are sold at one tael of silver per pound."
The weight of one pound in the Tang Dynasty was approximately equal to 556 grams, which is not much different from .
For a pound of tea, taking Pu'er tea of later generations as an example, if it is loose tea, it can be packed in 1.5 to 2 bags in an ordinary medium-sized plastic bag in a supermarket, which is equivalent to the size of 1.5 basketballs.
If it is compressed tea cake, you can pack it into a bag, which is about half the size of a basketball.
Generally speaking, the amount of tea used each time should not exceed 10g. Assuming 5g per cup, if you make one cup of tea every day, then one pound of tea can be brewed 100 times, which is enough for at least three months.
If you add 3g of tea each time, then one pound of tea will be enough for half a year.
The words fell.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He thought such delicious tea would be very expensive, but it turned out to be only one or two taels of silver per pound.
Yesterday, Lin Youwei sold him two taels of silver just for one cup! !
At this moment , Cheng Yaojin felt the malice from society.
Plus shop around.
The tea cakes from the three shops next door all cost the same amount of silver per pound, but their tea cakes taste far inferior to Changyuan Tea.
At the same price, which one to choose is basically a no-brainer.
"but……"
Suddenly, Changle spoke again.
Cheng Yaojin was a little nervous and asked, "Princess, what is it?"
Changle's face was filled with worry. "But as long as Uncle Cheng tells me about my father and mother's recent situation, I can make the decision on my own and secretly give you a pound of tea, and it's the best quality."
Cheng Yaojin was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "Princess, you are being too polite. Am I, Cheng Yaojin, the kind of person who takes advantage of others?"
"Today, His Majesty is still dealing with state affairs, but he is also very concerned about your affairs. From time to time, he would ask about your life in Baiyun County."
"It's just that I've been busy with so many things lately that I don't have the time to spare."
"And your mother, Empress Zhangsun, has been crying every day since she woke up. She really wants to come out to see you, but because of her reputation and the fact that you were expelled from the palace is a secret, she cannot leave the palace privately to avoid being caught."
"Mother...Father..." Changle was extremely worried, but she could only worry in her heart.
Cheng Chumo, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess, I think your husband is very capable. He should not have made the tea himself, right?"
" After all, he is the same age as me, how could he be so much better? Is there someone else who can help him?"
These words made Changle immediately unhappy.
She curled her lips and said, "My husband did this himself. I saw it with my own eyes."
Just like that, the heavy topic was diverted.
At the same time, Qin Wenyuan was also receiving Lin Youwei, the Minister of Works.
"Oh, Mr. Qin, what a great gift, what a great gift!" Lin Youwei said with a smile on his face.
He didn't know what was going on. As soon as he came in, Qin Wenyuan greeted him respectfully.
And now, he even wants to give me three kilograms of tea.
He likes this tea very much!
Three kilograms of food were donated at once, and even though he was a conservative person, he looked very happy.
Qin Wenyuan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, it's just a small gift, not worth mentioning."
"Then I, Mr. Qin, would like to thank you very much." Lin Youwei also said with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Youwei was very clear.
Serving Qin Wenyuan's tea was equivalent to another form of bribery.
But he was happy to accept it. After all, for him, it was extremely important to be able to establish a relationship with the great talent who developed the Luban Lock technology!
The two talked and laughed all the way, but when they were on the second floor of the tea shop, Xu Dog came over.
He leaned close to Qin Wenyuan's ear and whispered something.
After listening to this, Qin Wenyuan said calmly: "Uncle Hu, take Lord Lin for a walk. I have something to do, so I'll go out and take a look first."
Hu Guang on the side nodded and waved his hand, as if he was driving Qin Wenyuan away.
Soon, Qin Wenyuan and Xu Gou left together.
At the entrance of the tea shop, Qin Wenyuan found Changle and asked nervously, "Madam, Duke Lu, did he not embarrass you?"
It turned out that what Xu Gou had just reported was exactly about Cheng Yaojin's coming.
Changle shook his head and said, "No, Duke Lu just came here to buy some tea."
"What about others?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Looking at the nervous Qin Wenyuan, Changle burst into laughter.
With a smile on her lips, she continued, "I bought the tea leaves, so I've left naturally."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Wenyuan took Changle and devoted himself to managing his own shop again.
On this day, Changyuan Tea House was extremely bustling.
Because of the success of the tea, Changyuan Tea Shop became famous!
Not only in the west of Chang'an City, but also in other areas of Chang'an, people have heard of it.
There were so many people that they lined up from the opening till the closing time at night.
If Changyuan Tea Shop had not decided to close today, the crowds would probably have queued until midnight.
It really is true that debut is the peak!
…
Dark night, Chang'an Avenue.
The earth is asleep.
The breeze gently blew the willow branches, and except for the occasional barking of a dog or two, the deserted streets were silent.
Today is a very memorable day for Changyuan Tea Shop.
But for another tea shop in the west of the city, Ruyi Tea Shop, it was the worst day!
Ruyi Tea House, the lobby inside.
“Bang!!”
The fine teacup was smashed to the ground.
But no one cared!
The people below all looked terrified, and they didn't dare to look up at the person above them, even for a moment.
Because, the person above his head is none other than the Lu family, which is at the peak of its power in Chang'an today!
Lu Qian is not a member of the Lu family's main line, but he is the top executive in charge of the entire Ruyi Tea Shop.
It can be said that the Lu family completely handed over the tea cake business to Lu Qian.
"Master, tell me, what is going on? Why is it that all I have seen and heard today are news about a tea shop called Changyuan Teahouse in the west of Chang'an?"
"Didn't I ask you to give Changyuan Teahouse a good beating on the opening day a few days ago? How come he's still jumping around like this?"
Lu Qian asked, suppressing his anger.
Li Xiaoran took a step forward and said calmly: "Master, I did what you told me to do this morning and brought dozens of people with me, but... Qin Wenyuan, the owner of this Changyuan Tea House, is not a simple person!"
