The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"My dear, don't worry. No one who dares to open a tea shop in Chang'an City dares to sell inferior products to fool people." The shopkeeper said, "The tea cakes and tea cakes here are all top-quality goods."

"Let me see." Li Fu said.

The shopkeeper quickly took the tea cake from the shelf and handed it to Li Fu.

Li Fu took a closer look.

It was really broken, even more broken than the dumpling stuffing his mother chopped during the New Year.

Is this brewed tea drinkable?

Although Shitou doesn't know much about tea, his dear is picky, and the tea he drinks is definitely not this kind of tea foam.

The tea soup his dear drinks is brewed with boiling water, and the tea leaves are intact, with a faint fragrance.

It is different from boiled tea.

Earlier, the tea at home was some fresh tea leaves collected, and the dear came back to make it himself.

Shitou had never seen Li Fu stir-fry tea. When Li Fu stir-fried tea, he did it in the kitchen himself. He only told Liu Niang how to stir-fry tea and asked her to learn it.

Moreover, Liu Niang was repeatedly told that this method of stir-frying tea must not be spread, otherwise, it would cut off a source of income for the family.

As it concerns the source of income, Liu Niang is naturally cautious. After a pot of tea is stir-fried, only Li Fu drinks it, so it has not been finished yet and is placed in Li Fu's study.

Anyway, others can't enjoy it.

Even when Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong came to the farm, Li Fu didn't let Xiao Tao make tea for them.

As the saying goes, good things should be taken out bit by bit to make money slowly.

Otherwise, if you take a big step, it will be difficult to handle.

"Your tea cake is not good." Li Fu was very straightforward and looked disgusted.

"Young Master, you are joking. The tea cakes here are ranked first in Chang'an City, let alone other things."

This is true.

In the whole Chang'an City, the tea cakes can be picked up with one hand, so can't they be ranked first?

You can rank any place you want.

This shopkeeper is really good at chatting.

"I won't buy this tea." Li Fu said, "But I think your shop is good."

The location is good and the size is suitable. Secondly, this place originally sells tea, and it has a certain reputation in Chang'an City.

When you open a shop, you have a certain foundation in what business you originally did. If you continue to do this business, even if you are an old customer, you will try it once or twice.

As long as there are one or two opportunities like this, plus Li Fu's tea frying, this business will not take off?

Not to mention, the tea business also needs to find a "spokesperson".

The two most distinguished spokespersons in the world of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Fu's abacus was clattering in his mind, and the stone on the side felt that he was hallucinating.

"Shop? What do you mean, young man?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Fu with doubt.

"I like your tea shop. I'll buy it and do tea business when the time comes." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Young man, you are joking. I won't sell my shop." The shopkeeper said.

"Your shop?" Li Fu asked, "Is this shop yours? Don't you have a master behind you?"

"Of course... there is, so young man, don't have this idea. This shop can't be sold." The shopkeeper said.

The shop is the property of his master, and he can't decide whether to sell it or not.

"Okay." Li Fu said, "This kind of thing is not easy to force."

"That's right." The shopkeeper responded quickly.

In business, harmony brings wealth. Even though Li Fu came to this shop for this reason, the shopkeeper did not say anything inappropriate. Therefore, the shopkeeper's attitude was also kind.

Even if the deal fails, the friendship still exists. In business, only a fool would offend others.

Not to mention, the person in front of him did not look like an ordinary person.

Since he has some status, he should not be offended.

"Okay, then we'll leave first." Li Fu bowed.

After leaving the tea shop with Shitou, there was no place to go next, so Li Fu took Shitou back to his house.

"Shitou, let Lao Zhao find me in the study." Li Fu said.

What I said to Shitou outside today also needs to be explained to Lao Zhao. If I should write a letter to Ma Shisan, I should write a letter to Ma Shisan. If I should keep an eye on the movements in Chang'an City, I should also ask someone to keep an eye on it. There is also the matter of tea.

Of course, Li Fu did not start this business on impulse. He had to make preparations in the early stage, such as the origin of raw tea, where tea was produced, how far the production area was from Chang'an, which road to take, where to get there, whether to go by water or land.

All these required him to plan carefully.

In comparison, the furniture shop was much simpler, anyway, Li Fu had a lot of drawings in his hands.Let's take care of this first. The tea matter will have to wait a while. It won't be too late to start the arrangement after we figure out the origin and route.

Li Fu sat in the study with white paper in front of him.

The finished paper has come out and the formula has been determined.

But for now, it can't be taken out.

Wait a little longer.

Anyway, he doesn't need toilet paper to go to the toilet now, and he doesn't have to suffer that pain.

As for other people, he doesn't care.

Li Fu wants to draw some drawings of furniture.

Make some basic drawings. As for the carvings on it, it depends on what the person who placed the order needs. Then the carpenter will know how to put it on it.

Lao Zhao came to the study.

"My dear." Lao Zhao bowed.

"Sit down." Li Fu pointed to the chair beside Lao Zhao: "Sit down and talk. I have a lot to tell you."

Lao Zhao heard this and quickly took out a small notebook from his arms and took out a carbon stick.

This is what Li Fu taught him. Cut the paper, let Xiao Tao use an awl to drill a hole, and then use thread to nail it. It is the size of a palm, and it can be put in the chest pocket without getting in the way. If there is anything that needs to be remembered, you can take it out and record it at any time to avoid forgetting it later.

Li Fu summarized what happened today and told Lao Zhao that he needed to take charge of all these.

"For the tea matter, find someone to go to the south as soon as possible to find the place of origin." Li Fu said: "Find out everything clearly, send a letter back to report."

"Yes." Lao Zhao responded.

"Ma Shisan, let him come to Chang'an City immediately, bring money, and buy a shop in the East Market. Let him come to Chang'an City to understand the market. After understanding, the shop must be bought immediately." Li Fu said.

"Okay, I'll write to the manor after I get back."

"Then we need to find carpenters." Li Fu said, "We need a lot of carpenters."

"This...is not difficult, but if we want to build a workshop, I don't know if they are willing to work with us." Lao Zhao said, "There are good carpenters in Chang'an City, and they don't lack business."
