Chapter 272 Selling Black Tea
"It does smell quite good. It's very different from the taste of green tea." Shopkeeper Shen felt the novelty.
"Go, boil a pot of mountain spring water and come over. I want to try this tea myself." Fan Chengxu had great expectations for the taste of black tea.
Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly asked his attendant to boil mountain spring water and bring it to Fan Chengxu.
Fan Chengxu brewed a cup of black tea in the same way as green tea. As the name suggests, the color of black tea is reddish brown.
The color looks a bit worrying, a bit like green tea water that has been left out overnight.
Fan Chengxu picked up the cup and before he put it to his mouth, he was stopped by shopkeeper Shen: "Sir, why don't you let me try it first." Shopkeeper Shen was a little worried that this kind of tea would ruin his stomach
.
"No need for you, I'll do it myself." Fan Chengxu didn't listen to shopkeeper Shen, put the cup to his lips, and took a sip.
Shopkeeper Shen looked at Fan Chengxu nervously, his brows furrowed and his heart involuntarily high.
After a while, Fan Chengxu's brows relaxed and he smiled, "Interesting, really interesting." "Sir,
this tea..."
"This tea tastes very different from green tea. It tastes softer and less The freshness of green tea, but a little more mellow." Fan Chengxu commented.
"Do you think this tea tastes better than the tea we usually drink?" Shopkeeper Shen asked.
"Not necessarily, each has his or her own merits."
"Sir, are the tea leaves picked in the past few days still processed according to the method given by Mr. Xu to make fermented tea?" Shopkeeper Shen asked.
"Go on, we are currently losing money selling green tea, but if we make this kind of tea, we can still make a profit. Since you want to bet, you have to bet thoroughly, don't be timid." Fan Chengxu said.
"Yes, Master." Shopkeeper Shen responded.
"Also, starting from tomorrow, black tea will be sold in the tea house. It is said that this tea has health benefits and can strengthen the body." Fan Chengxu ordered.
Fan Chengxu doesn't know whether black tea has any health benefits, but it doesn't stop him from promoting it to the outside world.
"Yes, Master." Shopkeeper Shen responded, "By the way, Master, the Seventh Highness and Mr. Lu are both in the tea house at the moment. I heard that they even caught a fine craftsman and beat him half to death." "Let him go,
he This giant Buddha cannot be sent away within a period of time. We just need to take care of ourselves and satisfy him as much as possible without offending him." Fan Chengxu had no other choice. His uncle had already sent someone to send it to him
. More than a dozen letters came over to warn him, which made his head feel very big.
Now, as long as Chu Lan came to see him by name, he would try his best to avoid seeing him. If he had the time, it would be more fun and interesting to study business with Xu Heyou.
As for the detailed work, it has nothing to do with him. He didn't join the official career just to not get involved in these things.
"Yes, sir."

After Yusheng Tea House launched its new black tea, it attracted many tea drinkers to taste it, and the reputation was polarized.
Some like it and some don't.
For most people who are accustomed to green tea, they are not very receptive to the taste of the new black tea. Although not many people find it unpleasant to drink, many feel that it is far inferior to green tea.
Losing the fragrance, sweetness and bitterness of green tea means losing the most important thing about tea. But there are also people who like the taste after tasting it and find it very soft.
There are also people who learned the method from nowhere and boiled it with milk and drank it, euphemistically calling it milk tea.
Yusheng Chaxuan itself did not introduce this method at first. After discovering that some ladies from aristocratic families liked to drink it, Yusheng Chaxuan immediately started making milk tea, which attracted many people to try it.
But no matter what, due to the novelty of black tea and its promoted health benefits, Cha Xuan's black tea sales are also very good, and the number of customers is 30% more than usual.
Listen to the Pine Garden.
Xiumei told Wei Ruo the news about black tea she heard: "Miss, black tea is sold very well in Yusheng Tea House, but this boss Fan is too treacherous. He actually claims that drinking black tea can keep you healthy. This is not Are you fooling people?"
Wei Ruo smiled: "He is a businessman, there is no reason not to do profitable things. And what he said is not entirely wrong. Black tea does have some health-preserving effects. Compared with green tea, black tea is good for The spleen and stomach are friendlier."
"So, Boss Fan has made a mistake?" "
Yes. But he probably doesn't care whether black tea really has this effect. This so-called health-preserving and physical-strengthening effect is also very good. It's hard to verify, and others can't catch his faults, he just attracts people to buy his black tea." Wei Ruodao.
"Then why didn't he use this trick before? As soon as the young lady made this black tea, he said it had health-preserving effects." Xiumei asked.
"Because tea was not only owned by his family in the past, but has been passed down for thousands of years. He has nothing to make up. This black tea didn't exist before, and now only his family has it, so he can say anything." Wei If explained.
"Yes!" Xiumei suddenly realized.
"Okay, leave him alone. Let's get these medicines ready and deliver them to Brother Xiaoyong."
Wei Ruo didn't stop working while talking to Xiumei.
She sorted out a batch of new medicines and planned to send them to Xu Zhengyong.
She was able to make these medicines thanks to her second brother. After receiving the letter that day, she went to Fengyue Teahouse and successfully obtained a batch of medicinal materials from the boss there.
The quantity of this batch of medicinal materials was considerable. Wei Ruo only used part of it this time, and the rest was stored in Fucheng Sibaozhai and asked the wet nurse and Uncle Xu to keep it on their behalf.
As for the Ganoderma lucidum and Laoshan ginseng that he won at Yusheng Tea House two days ago, Wei Ruo has already made them into pills and concoction.
At that time, Lu Yuhong gave Ganoderma lucidum and Laoshan ginseng to Wei Ruo and Wei Yichen respectively, but after returning home, Wei Yichen sent Laoshan ginseng to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was not polite at all and accepted it directly, so the two medicines ended up in Wei Ruo's hands.
The pills made from Ganoderma lucidum are concentrated and nourishing pills. A total of twenty pills were made. Wei Ruo filled six pills for Xu Zhengyong this time, and Wei Ruo planned to give the rest to Wei Jinyi when Wei Jinyi came back.
In contrast, Wei Ruo felt that Wei Jin also needed this tonic more.
While helping Wei Ruo load the medicine, Xiumei muttered: "Miss, my status in your mind is getting worse and worse now. You see, I am preparing medicine for brother Xiaoyong and the second young master." But I didn't drop any of the medicine."
Wei Ruo stretched out his hand and flicked Xiumei's forehead, then said angrily:
"You stinky girl, why are you jealous of the two of them? You are always jealous. They are all by my side. If you have a headache or fever, I will treat it for you at any time. They don’t know how long it will be before they see each other, so they have to prepare so many medicines." "Miss, I am kidding! How could I do that
? They are so jealous!" Xiumei said with a busy smile.
