Chapter 248: The Fourth Bachelor of Sumen (for book friend Cheng Feng)(1/2)

Wang Xiao finally got a full fifty stagnant of money from Zhang Xian.

Although Jiaozi had already started to offer discounts, he was not as crazy as he did in the Huizong Dynasty later.

Jiaozi and copper coins are worth 40 jin of coins.

This is where Wang Xiao starts his business.

As the saying goes, you have to have money in your hands when doing anything.

Wang Xiao recalled the various techniques he had recorded. After some confusion, he finally gave up selling cooked cakes and chose to stir-fry tea.

Before the Ming Dynasty, green tea was mostly processed by steaming green.

The tea in the Song Dynasty consumes a lot, such as wine shops and pasta restaurants, mostly called tea. Even the chefs are called "Tea Eat Dr. Dr.".

Tea can not only be drunk here, but also eaten as cooking. This is how tea is made from it, and it has also been passed down to Fusang.

There are many ways to drink tea, but most of them are steaming and adding ingredients.

Add green skin, almonds, small wax tea, fragrant medicine, olives, mint and other strange things to the tea leaves.

The taste of drinking is really hard to understand.

The tea consumption in Bianliang City is very large and it is a big business.

Wang Xiao believes that as long as the fried tea is launched, it will definitely be very popular.

Since you have decided, you have to do it.

At this time, Longjing tea was already well-known, and many of its outputs were regarded as tribute tea.

However, the way of drinking tea has not changed yet, and I still add various seasonings to steam and drink and eat it.

The prices of green tea in the market range from dozens to hundreds of dollars. Now is not the new tea season, and all the old teas are sold, so the price is cheaper.

Wang Xiao first went to buy almost 200 kilograms of green tea.

Then we invited the craftsmen to build three pots in the yard, and repaired half of the door that had fallen.

He bought three large-plate pots on the table, and Wang Xiao was naked and prepared to work.

He didn't want to do it in detail, just roughly the same.

Anyway, I made the first money, and I would start a workshop and hire people to do it specifically.

The pot should be placed obliquely, and the tea leaves should be stir-fried in the pot with a stir-frying broom to allow the tea leaves to turn over.

This requires arm strength, but fortunately what Wang Xiao lacks the most is arm strength.

After two days, Wang Xiao finally got the first batch of fried tea.

There is nothing to say. Wang Xiao wrapped the fried tea in one pound, in oil cloth paper, and went to the famous three-watt and two-story house in Bianliang City to sell it.

Before leaving, he bought a good piece of clothing from the pawn shop. After all, people rely on clothing.

Those who are really scholars of this era will definitely not be able to do such things that are shameless.

But who is Wang Xiao? He is a king with a thicker face than the Great Wall.

I don’t talk nonsense when I go to the door for sales, so I just took a bag and asked someone to taste it.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to drink it. I’ll give you a pound for free and tell you to just soak it in hot water and don’t add anything.

In the era of small peasant economy, no one would refuse anything free.

Although I have never seen this kind of tea, it doesn’t matter if it’s free.

The reason why fried tea can replace various other teas is called mainstream in later generations, and its superiority cannot be concealed by Wang Xiao's super bad craftsmanship.

In just a few days, many errand runners from the three-watt and two-watt house came to the door.

There is no way. In this era, there are the most romantic and famous people who linger in the three-wall houses, besides noble children and wealthy merchants.

The fresh and elegant, less greasy fried green tea immediately aroused their interest.

These scholars are the benchmark to lead the fashion. They like to drink stir-fried tea, and the nobles and wealthy merchants also follow suit to try it out.

There are so many people who want it, and a mere pound will be gone immediately.

"What? Two jin of money per pound? Why don't you grab it?"

When he heard the price quoted by Wang Xiao, someone turned against him on the spot. "The tea in the tea shop is only three or four hundred pounds per pound. Your Hangzhou tea is 200 pounds!"

Wang Xiao spread his hands with an indifferent look on his face, "Then you can buy those Hangzhou teas. I didn't force you to buy mine."

A few errands could not make the price of the price, and they ran back indignantly to ask for instructions.

Wang Xiao turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man beside him, "Do you want it?"

"Yes." The visitor was not angry when he heard the price like others, but instead nodded with a smile, "I want it all."

There are still people who know the goods.

Without hesitation, this man packed all the remaining 100 or pounds of fried tea to save his life. Wang Xiao also earned 300 or 400 jin of jin.

More than 300 stakes have been already a lot.

In this era, buying out a maid was only about a hundred cents.

Of course, according to age, color, marriage, etc., those with high prices must start at 400 to 500 yuan.

For example, Wang Anshi's wife once spent thousands of yuan to buy out a maid for her.

It was indeed a buyout, because there was an employment system in the Song Dynasty. Even maids could choose the employment system. When the agreed time was up, you could leave at will.

"There's something else?"

The business was completed, and Wang Xiao was about to reward his belly. However, seeing the buyer standing by, he became curious.

"I'm here to see the outer hall manager of Zuiyue Pavilion." The buyer bowed politely. "Yesterday, several bachelors were very interested in drinking green tea, saying that they must meet the husband who made green tea."

Wang Xiao's expression became serious.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, some names cannot be called randomly.

Like an official family, this is the special name for the emperor.

The husband generally refers to being a minister, a privy minister, a left-behind minister, a military governor, or even a political affairs officer who has been a minister, can be called a husband.

Like Wang Anshi, they were all husbands who smashed the jar.

As for bachelor, the official title is a minister who is appointed as a literary position, and he is called a certain palace and a certain pavilion.

For example, Baolongtu is the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

The official positions in the Northern Song Dynasty were extremely complicated and chaotic. In the early stage, they were relatively rigorous and many people were shameless. But later, the shameless ones directly claimed to themselves.

Wang Xiao didn't ask which bachelors it was, and he sorted it out and followed it.

When the families who had run away came back with money to buy tea, Wang Xiao had already had a padlock on the door.

When I arrived on the bustling street, there were many intimate sisters around me who warmly called Wang Xiao to talk and drink a cup of tea to relieve fatigue.

Wang Xiao lowered his head shyly, saying that he was a little boy who only knew how to study and did not understand what kind of ideals in life.

On this street, Zuiyue Pavilion is the largest.

The three-story wooden pavilion can smell the rich aroma of wine inside before people can enter.

When I walked in, there were flowers and flowers in it.

The beautiful maid was holding wine, drinks and dishes, and the laughter of laughter in the lobby and in the private room was heard.

This is the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Commodities from all over the world were transported to this city and jointly built the largest and most prosperous city in the world.

In this ordinary Zuiyue Pavilion, even if you are just a runner, you can earn more than a hundred cents a day, and you can also mix two clothes and two meals a day.

The people in Bianliang City lived a very interesting life, and the emperor would often send them money, charcoal, rice, grain, and all kinds of things.

After Cai Jing established a welfare system in the future, he lived in a honeypot.

However, the prosperity and prosperity of Bianliang City were based on the miserable lives of the common people of the Song Dynasty.

As one of the dynasties with the most peasant uprisings in history, almost every year the Song Dynasty people who could not survive picked up wooden sticks, knives and forks to seek survival.

The Song Dynasty treated scholars preferentially, but the exploitation of the people was very serious.

The strategy of strengthening the trunk and weak branches has led to the lives of people everywhere except Bianliang City.

Li Qingzhao wanted to see the prosperous Song Dynasty, but she was definitely not just looking at the Bianliang City.

"There is a long way to go."

Wang Xiao sighed and walked into a private room.

There were several people in the wing room wearing literary clothes and drinking happily, and there was a cup of green tea placed beside everyone.

"I went to Wang Xiao after studying and met all the bachelor's students."

Several literati looked at Wang Xiao and introduced themselves one by one.

"I am Huang Tingjian."
