A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 725 Meijiawu West Lake Longjing

The domineering appearance of the golden nanmu tea table shocked the two elderly people from BJ.

President Ni and Dean Liu, who had been a bit arrogant, now took Lingnan Hall's strength seriously.

President Nee even joked:
"No, I have to sit on this chair and take a photo with this golden nanmu table. Maybe Emperor Qianlong also sat in front of this table to practice calligraphy."

Lin Sanqi thought that after all, he was a leader and had a good eye. This golden nanmu table was a "writing desk" used exclusively for calligraphy in ancient times, not for making tea.

After the show-off was over, everyone sat down. Yin Lianyi and Liu Fangfang brought a transparent plastic sheet and spread it on the desk, and then placed a set of tea sets on it.

Lin Sanqi, Lin Tianhua, and Lin Chen sat beside them.

Lin Sanqi then spoke:

“Chairman Ni, President Liu, I originally wanted to prepare tea samples, but then I thought that the two leaders wanted to see the original Pu’er tea, so I didn’t move.

Leaders, please take a look. Our warehouse is full of Pu'er tea. All the packaging is the same as before. We have not changed anything. You are welcome to check at any time."

Dean Liu smelled it and immediately felt something was wrong:

"Director Lin, there seems to be more than just Pu'er tea in your warehouse, right? I can smell the fragrance of several tea leaves."

Lin Sanqi raised his thumb and flattered him:

"President Liu is amazing. In fact, our Lingnan Hall has received a lot of top-quality tea from China. I have several tons of premium West Lake Longjing alone."

President Nee was stunned and interrupted:
"You mean, West Lake Longjing? The old tea tree in Meijiawu, Longjing Village?"

Lin Sanqi smiled and nodded:

"Yes, all of them are Mingqian tea with one bud and two leaves, about 3 tons. But if you include the rain-pre-tea, the total amount is even greater, it seems to be nearly 300 tons."

Chairman Ni was displeased when he heard this, thinking that Lin Sanqi was bragging, so he said:

"I'm not satisfied with Director Lin. I was in Hangzhou to supervise the picking of West Lake Longjing before the Qingming Festival this year. After all, everyone knows that almost all the West Lake Longjing on the market are fake. The real West Lake Longjing has been reserved early and does not enter the market."

Among green teas, Longjing ranks first.

Among the Longjing teas, West Lake Longjing is the standard "top-tier" and has a very large market demand.

When the picking season arrives every year, high-end Longjing tea leaves are bought by major investors as soon as they are picked, and then roasted by the most skilled tea roasting masters.

The high-end Longjing tea that was hyped up thus flowed into the homes of the rich and powerful, and ordinary people could not buy it.

As the president of the "China Tea Association", Ni Fengyu naturally has to stay in Hangzhou. In name, he is responsible for supervising the picking and roasting of West Lake Longjing tea to prevent people from selling inferior tea as good ones and ruining the reputation of West Lake Longjing.

But in fact, Chairman Ni secretly owns a tea business company called Yuhuatang, which is engaged in the purchase and sale of high-end tea.

President Ni used the name of the president of the "China Tea Association" to purchase real West Lake Longjing tea on the one hand, and then used his own connections to resell it to high-end people at high prices on the other hand, making a fortune.

Therefore, he knew exactly how much of the production of West Lake Longjing's special and first-grade products was this year.

Not to mention the three or five tons that have flowed out, it would be a big deal if three hundred or five hundred kilograms appeared on the market.

Therefore, President Ni fully suspected that Lin Sanqi was talking nonsense and bragging, which naturally made him unhappy. At the same time, he also doubted the authenticity of Pu'er tea.

Lin Sanqi was stunned, and naturally heard the dissatisfaction in President Ni's words, so he stood up:
"President Ni, Dean Liu, it's still early tonight, let's go and have a look at West Lake Longjing. Seeing is believing, hearing is not."

President Ni thought that since he was already here, he might as well take a look. He could tell whether it was true or false at a glance.

Lin Chen quickly opened a warehouse door, and the unique fragrance of green tea wafted out.

President Ni suddenly lost confidence. He was an expert in tea, so he could smell everything. He thought:

"This tastes really good, how strange."

Dean Liu was already sighing at this time:
"Oh, Mr. Lin, the packaging of your Longjing tea is so retro. I remember when I first started working, Longjing tea was packaged in this kind of bamboo frame, and then wrapped in several layers of oil paper to prevent it from getting moldy." After saying that, Lin Chen opened the bamboo box, revealing the oil paper inside.

President Liu was even more surprised: "Hey, it really is oil paper. Strange, now the top-grade Longjing tea is sealed in packaging, why is your Longjing still in the old packaging?"

President Ni couldn't help it anymore, he took a step forward and looked at the box full of emerald green dry tea in amazement.

He grabbed a handful, smelled it, and then tremblingly picked up a leaf of tea and put it in his mouth. Then he frowned even more tightly and said to himself:
"It's Mingqian, a very standard Mingqian Longjing, one bud and two leaves, each of which is a top grade product. But this shouldn't be the case, it shouldn't be the case at all. I'm the one who counted all the new West Lake Longjing tea. What went wrong?"

"Director Lin, how many West Lake Longjing teas of this grade do you have exactly?"

Lin Sanqi scratched his head and said uncertainly:
"I really don't remember this, maybe it was 3 tons or 5 tons? Anyway, it's an odd number. Noisy, all the bamboo frames here are marked with something like Mingqian and Yuqian, and the grades are all written on the boxes."

"so much?"

President Ni took a look at the inventory in the warehouse and was even more surprised:

"That's not right. The annual output of the special Longjing tea before the Qingming Festival is only this much. If all the new tea is in your hands, then what about the new Longjing tea in my company's warehouse?"

President Ni was extremely nervous and suspected that Lin Sanqi had stolen his tea.
But he went to the warehouse to take inventory in person last night, and found that all the tea was stored in a secret cold storage in the capital, so it would be impossible to steal it during the day.

Dean Liu was more professional. He took out a set of professional tools and began to identify it. Finally, he also sighed:

"Old Ni, this is really the new West Lake Longjing tea, and it is the Longjing from the core area. Look, the tea data analyzed by this machine is very clear, and even better."

Lin Sanqi thought, how could it be bad? The West Lake Longjing tea in the early 1960s was called organic tea, unlike today when chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used.

Seeing the two old men's faces turning pale and blue, Lin Sanqi was happy, thinking that his two axes should be able to intimidate them, right?

"Brother Chen, sister-in-law, please be more professional and brew some Longjing tea for the two leaders to taste."

Liu Fangfang's voice came from outside:
"Boss, I've already made it, come out and taste the tea."

President Ni had come back to his senses by this time and waved his hand:
“Don’t rush to drink the tea. Based on my and Dean Liu’s experience, you can tell whether it’s real or fake just by smelling and tasting it.

Director Lin, this is incredible, really incredible. Not to mention Pu'er tea, just these West Lake Longjing tea leaves, you are priceless."

Chairman Ni looked at the warehouse full of new Longjing tea, and greed also flashed across his eyes.

"Director Lin, why don't we start identifying Pu'er tea now? We can drink tea at any time."

Seeing that the two old men were impatient, Lin Sanqi smiled and stretched out his hand:

"The two leaders, please come this way. To prevent the tea from mellowing, I have placed each brand in a separate room. And all the Pu'er tea here is produced from ancient tea trees."

There are many brands of Pu'er tea, and the prices from different origins vary greatly.

Lin Chen walked in front and opened one of the warehouse doors:

Lin Sanqi said proudly:

"All the teas here are from the old Banzhang tree. President Ni, Dean Liu, I'm not bragging, but these teas are all picked from the 1400-year-old Tea King tree. I just don't know how much they cost."

The tea king tree in Laobanzhang is very famous. A layman like Lin Sanqi cannot see it, but President Ni and Dean Liu, as top tea experts, can naturally tell it at a glance.

Lin Chen opened the outer packaging, and a strong tea fragrance between orchid and nectar emanated from the leaves.

President Ni and Dean Liu hurried over, picked up a few leaves of tea, put them in their hands, and then tasted them.

After a while, President Liu said with emotion:
"The leaves of the Laobanzhang Tea King Tree are flat and long, with a very unique shape. The leaves are narrow and long, and the shape is irregular and flat like a rectangle.

The leaves are wavy on the top and slightly curled on the bottom, and the whole body is light green. Its aroma is a major feature, which is mellow and long-lasting, with a mixed taste of flowers and fruits.

Director Lin, this is amazing. This is really the Laobanzhang Tea King Tree. It is very authentic. Others can fake this, but in the eyes of professionals like us, it is definitely not good enough. It is strange, too strange. "
