"Right, Princess."
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and continued,""I was just about to buy some tea cakes…uh, tea leaves. Look at the price…"
Hearing this, Chang Le also became more serious. When it came to money, it was impossible for her not to be serious.
"Uncle Cheng, our tea leaves are sold for one tael of silver per catty.”
In the Great Tang, one jin weighed about 556 grams, not much different from the 500 grams in the later generations.
As for a catty of tea leaves, using Pu 'er tea as an example, if it was loose tea, it could be stored in a medium-sized plastic bag in the supermarket. It could hold 1.5 to 2 bags, which was equivalent to the size of 1.5 basketballs.
If it was a tightly pressed tea cake, it could be packed into a bag about the size of half a basketball.
Generally speaking, the amount of tea consumed at a time did not exceed 10g. With a 5g cup, one cup of tea per day could be brewed 100 times, which was enough for at least three months.
If he added 3g of tea each time, then one catty of tea leaves would be enough to drink for half a year.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He had thought that such delicious tea would be expensive, but it only cost one tael of silver per catty.
Just one cup yesterday had cost Lin Youwei two taels of silver!!
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin felt the malice of society.
In addition, he had to shop around.
The tea cakes from the three shops next door were also priced at one tael of silver per catty, and their tea cakes were far inferior to Changyuan tea leaves.
Under the same price, which shop to choose was basically a matter that didn't require a brain to think about.
"But…"
Suddenly, Chang Le spoke again.
Cheng Yaojin's heart skipped a beat as he asked,""Princess, but what?"
Chang Le's eyes were filled with worry." But as long as Uncle Cheng tells me how my father and mother are doing, I can secretly give you a catty of tea leaves, and it's the best."”
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment before he chuckled."Princess, you're treating me as an outsider. Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others?”
"His Majesty is still handling state affairs, but he is also very concerned about your affairs. From time to time, he will ask if you are doing well in Baiyun County.”
"It's just that too many things have happened recently, so I can't be free.”
"And your mother, Empress Zhangsun, has been crying every day since she woke up. She really wants to come out and see you, but because of her reputation and the fact that you were expelled from the palace, she can't leave the palace without permission.”
" Mother... Father..." Chang Le was extremely worried, but he could only worry in his heart.
Cheng Chumo saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately stood up and said,"Your Highness, I think your husband is very powerful. He shouldn't have made the tea himself, right?”
"After all, he's the same age as me. How can he be so outstanding? Is there someone else who can help him?”
These words made Chang Le unhappy.
She pursed her lips." This is all my husband's doing. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Just like that, the heavy topic was changed.
At the same time, Qin Wenyuan was still receiving the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Lin Youwei.
"Aiya, Young Master Qin, a big gift, a big gift!”Lin Youwei said with a smile.
He didn't know what was going on either. As soon as he entered, Qin Wenyuan greeted him respectfully.
And now, he actually wanted to give him three catties of tea leaves.
He really liked these tea leaves!
Even though he was old-fashioned, he was overjoyed to receive three catties in one go.
Qin Wenyuan didn't mind and smiled." Lord Lin, it's just a small gift. It's not worth mentioning."”
"Then this old man will have to thank Young Master Qin.”Lin Youwei also smiled.
At this moment, Lin Youwei was very clear.
To scoop Qin Wenyuan's tea leaves was equivalent to taking bribes.
However, he was happy to accept it. After all, to him, it was extremely important to be able to be related to the genius who developed the Luban lock technology!
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, but when they were on the second floor of the tea shop, Xu Dog walked over.
He moved closer to Qin Wenyuan's ear and said something in detail.
" Uncle Hu," Qin Wenyuan said calmly," show Lord Lin around. I have something to do. I'll go out and take a look."”
Hu Guang nodded and waved his hand as if he was chasing Qin Wenyuan away.
Soon, Qin Wenyuan and Xu Dog left together.
At the entrance of the tea shop, Qin Wenyuan found Chang Le and said nervously,""Furen, Duke Lu, he didn't make things difficult for you, right?”
It turned out that Xu Dog had reported Cheng Yaojin's arrival.
Chang Le shook his head." No, Duke Lu just came to buy some tea leaves."”
"Then where is he?" Qin Wenyuan asked.
Looking at the nervous Qin Wenyuan, Chang Le burst out laughing.
She smiled and continued,"I bought the tea leaves and naturally left."”
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief." It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine."”
Immediately after, Qin Wenyuan brought Chang Le and once again devoted himself to managing his own shop.
On this day, Long Distance Tea Shop was bustling with activity.
Because of the success of the tea leaves, the reputation of Long Distance Tea Shop had completely spread!
Not only in the west of Chang 'an, but also in other areas of Chang' an.
Just the sea of people lined up from the opening to the closing at night.
If it wasn't for the fact that Long Distance Tea Shop was closed today, the crowd would probably have waited until midnight.
It was really the peak of his debut!
…………
Night, Chang 'an Avenue.
The earth was asleep.
The breeze gently blew the willow branches. Except for the occasional barking of a dog or two, the deserted street was silent.
Today was a memorable day for Long Distance Tea House.
However, for another tea shop in the west of the city, it was the worst day!
Ruyi Tea Shop, inside the lobby.
"Bang!"
The teacup was smashed to the ground.
However, no one cared!
The people below all looked terrified. They did not even dare to look up at the person above them.
Because the person above his head was the Lu Family, which was the most powerful family in Chang 'an!
Lu Qian wasn't a member of the Lu Family's main branch, but he was the person in charge of the entire Ruyi Tea House.
It could be said that the Lu family had completely handed over the business of tea cakes to Lu Qian.
"Grand Master, tell me, what exactly is going on? Why is it that everything I've heard today is about a tea shop called Long Distance Tea Shop in the west of Chang 'an City?”
"A few days ago, didn't I ask you to teach that Long Distance Tea Shop a lesson on the opening day? How can he still jump around like this?"
Lu Qian suppressed his anger and asked.
Li Xiaoran took a step forward and said calmly,"Old Master, I did follow your instructions this morning and brought dozens of people with me, but…the leader of this tea shop, Qin Wenyuan, is not simple!”
