Chapter 12 Opening a Tea Farm and Selling Coffee

"In fact, there are many things in modern times that existed in ancient times, but the ancients didn't know how to use them. Therefore, as time travelers, we can completely integrate modern knowledge into ancient times." Zhang Han said.

"For example?" Zhao Lei said.

"Coffee beans!" Zhang Han said.

"Coffee beans? How is that possible? Where can we find this thing?" Zhao Lei said. The origin of the coffee is from Ethiopia, so they might not necessarily go there to find it.

"Did you forget what business my father is in?" Zhang Han laughed, as if he didn't hear Zhao Lei's question.

When Zhang Han said this, Zhao Lei remembered that Zhao Lei's father was the owner of a coffee factory.

"Coffee beans come from coffee trees, which are small evergreen trees belonging to the Rubiaceae family. People in ancient times only knew that the leaves on the coffee trees were used to refresh themselves, commonly known as "refreshing tablets". In ancient times, many doctors would take them It is used to refresh people who have passed out or suffered from heat stroke," Zhang Han explained.

"I know this, maybe where can we find these coffee trees?" Zhao Lei asked.

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us." Zhang Han said with a smile

"You mean, it's near us?" Zhao Lei asked.

"This kind of coffee tree grows on Changshan." Zhang Han said.

"How is it possible? Isn't China the birthplace of coffee?" Zhao Lei was surprised.

"It's just that Chinese people know about coffee later than foreigners. In fact, coffee trees have long existed in China. If you don't believe me, I can take you up the mountain to see." Zhang Han pulled Zhao Lei out of the room.

After leaving the cottage, they walked all the way up, and found a small forest in a relatively flat place.

"Coffee tree!" Zhao Lei exclaimed. Zhao Lei didn't recognize coffee trees at first, but he knew coffee beans.When he saw the fruitful coffee beans on the tree, Zhao Lei recognized it.

"Yes, this is what I passed by occasionally when I was walking a few days ago." Zhang Han said.

"Okay, that's the decision, we will start your old business and sell coffee beans." Zhao Lei said.

"Wait a minute! We can't sell like this." Zhang Han said.

"Why?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Before an unknown thing is launched on the market, if there is no good publicity or advertising, no matter how valuable the thing is, others will not even take a look at it." Zhang Han said: "Actually, our current people are not as good as the ancients. Similarly, everyone has a sense of unfamiliarity with unknown things, and if these coffee beans are rashly sold, it will not be successful."

"That's true. Besides, people in this era don't know how to use coffee beans to make coffee. They really can't do that." Zhao Lei agrees with Zhang Han's point of view.

"Let's go, let's go back first, go back to the cottage and discuss what to do next," Zhang Han said.

"Okay." Zhao Lei said.

After closing the door, Zhang Han found a chair and sat down and said to Zhao Lei, "If we want to sell our coffee, we must open a teahouse."

Zhang Han explained the reason: because the ancients did not know how to use coffee beans, what they have to do now is to brew a batch of high-quality coffee and sell it to those customers, so that they will gradually become familiar with the new thing of coffee, Then the beverage coffee was officially sold.As for Zhao Lei’s talk about selling coffee beans, Zhang Han once again vetoed the proposal, because the ancients didn’t know that coffee beans could be brewed into drinks, so there was no need to disclose this secret. Drinking too much coffee has side effects. If the ancients knew how to use coffee beans, everyone would be addicted and drink it like water, which may affect sleep and physiology.Thirdly, if this secret is made public, other teahouses will follow suit. (In fact, Zhang Han is not afraid of spreading the word) So for the time being, they only decided to sell the coffee they drink.If you want to sell coffee, the first choice in ancient times is of course a teahouse.

Now that I have decided to play a guest role, I will go into business.Zhao Lei then summoned the herald and told him to send a message to Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang to discuss matters in the council hall tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang came to the front hall of Zhao Lei's house early, but Zhang Han and Zhao Lei also came from the back hall after a while.

"Morning, everyone." Zhao Lei greeted.

"Morning, brother, second brother." "Morning, brother Zhao, morning, military advisor."

"I brought you here today because there is a new policy to be announced." Zhao Lei said.

"Oh?" Zhao Yun made a sound.

"Zilong, pick two hundred brothers with good skills from the cottage, and go to Changshan to pick a kind of fruit called coffee beans." Zhao Lei said.

"What are coffee beans?" Zhao Yun didn't understand what Zhao Lei was saying at all.

"As long as you see coffee-colored fruits growing on the trees, pick them off, pack them in sacks, and transport them back to the village," Zhang Han said.

"Second brother, what is the use of these fruits?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

Zhang Han knocked on Zhao Yun's head and said with a smile, "I'll tell you later, don't gossip."

"What does gossip mean?" Zhao Yun laughed.

"It's just being nosy, you haven't heard of meddling too much!" Zhang Han said.

Everyone laughed.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Lei with an aggrieved expression, Zhao Lei made a relief and said, "Second brother, you are bullying Zilong again."

Zhang Han smiled and said: "Zilong go, you will know what's going on in the future."

"Yes." Zhao Yun withdrew.

"Zhou Cang, you lead some brothers to tidy up a large piece of open space behind the cottage, where I plan to plant a coffee forest." Zhao Lei said.

"No, this subordinate takes orders." Zhou Cang said.

"Xiao Lei, prepare to spend more money, we are going to Yecheng." Zhang Han said to Zhao Lei.

"What are you doing in Yecheng?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Of course I went to a big city like Yecheng to open a teahouse. Do you still want to open a teahouse in Zhaojiacun?" Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's true. Well, let's all get ready and leave tomorrow." Zhao Lei said.

"it is good!"

Everyone dispersed.

The next day, after Zhao Lei handed over the things in the cottage to Zhao Yun, he followed Zhang Han down Changshan Mountain and rode towards Yecheng on horseback.

They were really not used to riding horses. Although Zhao Yun had taught them how to ride horses before, they felt that they couldn't ride horses smoothly.This is why Zhao Lei asked Zhou Cang to ride a horse when he surrendered Zhou Cang last time, but he didn't ride it himself.

"It seems that we have to practice this horse skill." Zhao Lei said to Zhang Han, because his butt hurts very much now.

"No, since I am your number one think tank, I will be like Zhuge Liang, and you will get me a four-wheeled cart." Zhang Han laughed.

"Fuck you, I won't give it to you." The two were joking as they walked towards their destination.

Unknowingly, three hours had passed, and the tall city walls of Ye City gradually became clear in the mist.

"We saw Yecheng, we are almost there." Zhao Lei said.

At noon, they arrived at the north gate of Yecheng, and as soon as they entered the city, they found a hotel to stay.

After having a casual lunch, they asked the waiter about the locations of famous restaurants and tea houses in Yecheng.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the table beside him.Zhao Lei looked back and saw that a table was knocked down by a man in a cloak.Sawdust was scattered all over the place.

What is going on?
