Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 193 Can't Understand Qin Xiedao's Operation

Tea was discovered and used very early in China.

However, its development can be regarded as relatively tortuous and full of legends.

In the earliest times, tea was used as a sacrifice.

This attribute, even in later generations, has not been completely discarded.

But from the late Spring and Autumn period, the positioning of tea began to change.

At that time, tea was eaten as a dish by people.

The word "drinking tea" could not be more appropriate at that time. I don't know if it has something to do with it that some places in later generations still say "drinking tea" instead of "drinking tea".

In the mid-Western Han Dynasty, the properties of tea changed again.

At this time, it has been developed for medicinal use and has become a kind of Chinese herbal medicine.

It was not until the late Western Han Dynasty that tea developed into a high-end court beverage.

This is somewhat similar to the situation when tea was first introduced to the West.

As for the popularization of tea as a beverage among the people, it was after the Western Jin Dynasty.

However, on the whole, by the Tang Dynasty, tea was already considered a relatively popular drink.

Although ordinary people's homes have not yet reached the point where every household drinks tea, at least it is no longer exclusive to the rich and noble.

It is against this background that tea plantation in Datang has developed very rapidly.

All kinds of tea bricks began to prevail in various state capitals.

Obviously, what the Fang family sells now is tea bricks.

"Yi Ai, is this your family's tea workshop?"

Qin Xiedao wanted to see his own tea workshop, so Fang Yiai naturally took it for a walk around without hiding anything.

"Yeah, what's the problem? Aren't all tea workshops like this?"

Fang Yiai didn't understand what Qin Xiedao meant.

"So, how much autumn tea have you picked this year?"

"Picking just started a few days ago, it should be [-]% of the picking."

"Then the remaining autumn teas, after you pick them, send them all to the workshop in my house.

How many tea bricks can be made from these autumn teas, and how much you can sell these tea bricks, I will pay you directly.

This saves you the effort of continuing to process. "

As soon as Qin Xiedao proposed this proposal, Fang Yiai immediately fainted.

what's the situation?
Did I just hear the wrong thing?
"Brother Qin, although our Fang family doesn't have much money, relying on the tea workshop can be regarded as a small amount of savings.

You don't have to send money to our family like this. "

After much deliberation, Fang Yiai thought that Qin Xiedao was giving her money.

"Don't worry about it so much, just say whether you agree with this plan or not?

Or go back tonight and discuss it with Mr. Fang, and then give me an answer tomorrow. "

Qin Xiedao also knew that Fang Yi'ai had no place in his family.

Not to mention directly making a decision, but asking the shopkeeper in the tea workshop to carry out Qin Xiedao's order, Fang Yiai probably couldn't handle it.

"If it's other things, I might not care. But your plan is obviously sending money to our family. Whether it's me or the other managers in the workshop, there is absolutely no reason to object."

Seeing Qin Xiedao's serious expression, Fang Yiai frowned and thought for a while before saying this.

"Okay, then you can ask the artisans of the tea workshop to send the tea picked today to me first. I will inform you about the picking arrangements for the next few days.

As for the money to buy these tea leaves, you can go back and count them all, and send them all to Fangfu tomorrow. "

……

"Aye, this Qin Dalang, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Why can't I understand it at all."

For such an important decision, although Fang Yiai felt that she could judge it, she still had to obediently report it to her family in the end.

The second son, after all, is still the second son, not the eldest son.

"Yi Zhi, this Qin Dalang will never let himself suffer. If we feel that he has suffered, then he must have taken advantage of other places, or we have not seen it so thoroughly.

Judging from the current situation, our Fang family definitely did not suffer a loss from the purchase of tea this time, and we can even be sure that we took advantage of it.

After all, he didn't even discuss the price with us, and directly agreed that all unprocessed tea should be settled according to the price of tea bricks after normal production, which directly saved us a lot of effort. "

Fang Xuanling sat in the lobby, discussing matters with Fang Yizhi, Fang Yiai and his wife Lu Shi.

Tea is the core source of profit for house prices.

Regarding matters related to tea, even Fang Xuanling, who is busy with government affairs, is willing to take the time to have a good discussion.

"Aye, anyway, we are not at a disadvantage in this matter, and Brother Qin doesn't seem to feel that he is at a disadvantage.

Then we don't have to worry about it so much. We will directly notify the helpers in the tea garden tomorrow and let them pick tea leaves according to the Qin family's instructions. "

Fang Yiai is not a brainy person.

Obviously, he doesn't have to think about it, but he is still tossing around here now. He is obviously a little unhappy.

"Erlang, what do you know, just listen carefully to the discussion between you Aye and your elder brother."

Lu Shi glared at his son dissatisfied.

This son is still very caring to him, but his brain is not very good, and he is always worrying.

"Aye, His Majesty now values ​​you very much in court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are His Majesty's right arm and right arm.

Does that Qin Xiedao want to take this opportunity to show his loyalty to you and ask you to support him more in the future? "

Fang Yi kept thinking about it, and finally thought of a reason that made him feel very reasonable.

During this period of time, many people came to Fangfu to give gifts.

All kinds of people have different ways of giving gifts.

Most of these matters were handled by Fang Yizhi, the eldest son.

He sees this kind of thing too much, so he can't help thinking about it.

"It's not necessary! Based on my friendship with Shubao, if the Qin family really needs my help, I will definitely help. There is no need for Xiedao to do this."

Fang Xuanling looked at the problem quite thoroughly, and immediately denied Fang Yizhi's guess.

"If it's not for this reason, then unless Qin Xiedao can find a better processing method and sell the processed tea bricks at a higher price, then it can barely be justified."

Fang Yizhi made another guess.

"Not to mention, although this possibility sounds a bit unreliable. After all, we sell the tea we just picked to him at the price of tea bricks.

Unless the price of the tea bricks he made is several percent higher than ours, otherwise it would be unprofitable. "

"No matter which one it is, it should not be harmful to our family at present."
