Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 207 How to Sell Tea Bricks?

Although Ma Youcai did not leave Chang'an City many times.

But he opened a quality library, and he has contacts with all kinds of people.

This actually gave him a good ability to deal with people.

The most important thing is that he can always unconsciously make others believe in him and feel that he is a trustworthy person.

After traveling for more than half a month, Ma Youcai finally arrived in Liangzhou.

Fortunately, Xie Linmao came here to buy wool before, and the Qin family has their own workshop in Liangzhou.

So after Ma Youcai arrived in Liangzhou, he might not have a place to stay.

"Second Uncle, shouldn't we open a tea brick shop as soon as possible? Why did you have someone prepare a shop for us to sell milk tea just after you arrived in Liangzhou today?
I have never heard of this milk tea before. "

Ma Youcai went to Liangzhou this time and brought his nephew Ma Biao with him.

However, Ma Youcai obviously hasn't talked about the plan Qin Xiedao ordered.

"Whether this thing is good or not, it's useless to just say it with empty teeth. In the past, we people in Tang Dynasty used to break apart this tea brick to cook and eat.

But since Qin Langjun launched Biluochun, the tea drinking style in Chang'an City has changed dramatically.

However, no matter whether it is brewing tea in the past or making tea now, it is obviously not suitable for herdsmen on the grassland.

Think about it, if you were a herdsman, would you have time to make tea? "

The milk tea shop will open tomorrow, and Ma Youcai doesn't mind having a good conversation with his nephew, so that he can change his perspective on the problem.

"The herdsmen on the grassland basically live by water and grass, but it is certainly impossible to live by the water every day.

So it must be inconvenient for them whether they are making tea or making tea.

According to my understanding, the herdsmen on these grasslands drink mare's milk and goat's milk most of the time.

Most herdsmen don't know what tea brick is.

In this case, it may indeed not be a good idea to open a tea brick shop. "

After a brief analysis, Ma Biao also understood why his second uncle didn't open a tea brick shop first.

"You're right, whether it's making tea or brewing tea, these are not things that the herdsmen on the grassland have time to do.

But if you just break off a small piece of tea brick and put it in when boiling mare's milk or goat's milk, then it won't add any trouble to their actual production.

At this time, what we need to solve is how to make them realize the benefits of tea bricks. "

Although Ma Youcai had Qin Xiedao's order, he would not feel confused about the next step.

But how to make better use of the milk tea marketing effect this time, he is still constantly improving the plan.

"Tea is very refreshing after drinking; drinking tea will also make people feel that the whole person's temperament has been sublimated.

Second Uncle, these should be considered the advantages of drinking tea. "

"It's an advantage, but it doesn't make any sense to the herdsmen on the other side's grassland."

Ma Youcai immediately dismissed Ma Biao's statement.

"I heard that tea has been around for a long time, and it can be used as a medicinal material for curing diseases. Second uncle, you said that we should focus on promoting this function, what do you think?"

Ma Biao was not discouraged by his second uncle's words.

On the contrary, with his flexible mind, he quickly thought of a new breakthrough point.

"Medicinal function? It's rare for you to think of it with Qin Langjun this time."

……

Duffy is a tribal leader in Tuyuhun.

Since the location of his tribe is very close to Liangzhou, he basically visits Liangzhou every month.

On the one hand, it is to trade and purchase materials, and on the other hand, it is to learn about the outside world.

Since last year, merchants in Datang have started to buy wool around Liangzhou, and the living standards of Duffy's tribe have improved immediately.

Duffy is naturally happy to see this change.

However, after the herdsmen had some money in their pockets, it became even more difficult to manage, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Fortunately, his prestige as the leader of the tribe is still there. No matter what happens to him, what he said is basically worth it, and everyone is still willing to believe him.

"Father, there are many medical clinics opened by Tang people in Liangzhou, why don't we find one to have a look?
During the recent period, your stomach discomfort happened frequently. "

At the south gate of Liangzhou City, a small caravan is slowly entering the city.

Such a small caravan with dozens of people is the most common caravan in Liangzhou City.

They are often people from nearby tribes, or merchants from Chang'an City.

The purpose of coming to Liangzhou City is naturally to exchange goods.

As an important state capital on the Silk Road, Liangzhou City can basically buy all the products of Datang.

It's nothing more than whether the price is favorable.

Just like Baiyunbian, Liangzhou City naturally sells them.

But the price of the same Baiyunbian is at least [-]% higher than that in Chang'an City.

The high circulation cost can be imagined.

"What do you look at? Will the doctor give you free medical treatment? When the time comes, I will give you a prescription, but if you take this medicine or that medicine, you will spend a lot of money, but your condition may not improve. .”

Duffy obviously had no good influence on the doctors in Liangzhou City.

No way, who made him suffer before.

Tang people in this era are not friendly to foreigners at all.

Even the beggars in Chang'an City would not think highly of the same barbarians.

Even marrying a Hu woman is a shameful thing.

It's not like in later generations, if you can marry a foreigner, it seems to be honoring the country.

Of course, that situation is constantly changing.

"Our tribe is now earning some money by selling wool, cattle and sheep. It is no problem to see a doctor for you."

If the tribe develops well, the leader of the tribe must benefit the most.

This is beyond doubt.

Not to mention the tribal social structures in Tuyuhun, many of which are still in the state of primitive society.

Tribal leaders like Duffy are nothing in Liangzhou City.

But in the tribe, people are also figures who hold the power of life and death.

"Forget it, this disease cannot be cured. If you have the money, why don't you buy another bottle of Baiyunbian, or go to the Tang restaurant in Liangzhou and taste their delicacies."

Obviously, Duffy is not a person who is willing to spend money on medical treatment.

Of course, the most important thing must be that he didn't think those doctors in the medical center could cure his disease.

"Then let's find a food shop first. Hey, father, it seems that a new food shop has opened over there, and it looks crowded. Let's go and see what's going on?"
