Chapter 2 Mingqian tea is as expensive as gold

Listen to the persuasion system.

The key is to listen to advice.

Because of his resignation, Chen Jin heard countless suggestions these days, but none of them were included by the system.

It is really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Does the suggestion have to meet a certain condition before it can be included by the system?"

Chen Jin let out a long sigh, exhaustion welled up in his heart after a while, and fell asleep in such a drowsy way.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside.

As soon as he got up and walked out of the room, he heard his mother's voice: "Are you awake?"

"The food is on the table, you eat first."

Chen Jin glanced at the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and then at the wall clock on the wall. Unexpectedly, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, so he couldn't help frowning: "It's so late, the old man hasn't come back yet?"

Luo Yun sighed lightly: "Yes, I haven't come back early these few days."

Hearing this, Chen Jin suddenly remembered the sad look on the second master's face when he went home in a mule cart at noon, so he asked, "Could it be that something happened to the tea garden?"

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about. I'm busy at this time of year." Luo Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly changed the subject: "Eat while it's hot, don't wait for your old man, he won't be back for a while .”

Chen Jin's heart sank, and he was more sure of his thoughts, but said on the face as usual: "Mom, why don't you eat with me too."

Luo Yun waved her hand: "You just came back, I'll go get you another side dish."

As he spoke, he was about to go into the kitchen, but it was Chen Jin who had quick eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly grabbed her. He couldn't help but press her down on the seat: "Don't bother me any more, you'll make me look like an outsider."

Luo Yun could only smile and take the bowl and chopsticks.

Just stuffing a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, Chen Jin said, "Mom, why do you think I went up the mountain today?"

Luo Yun shook her head: "What's wrong? The one with wings pierced and flew up?"

Chen Jin laughed: "I ran into Second Master as soon as I got off the bus, and I came here in his mule cart."

"That's quite a coincidence." Luo Yun responded.

Chen Jin said again: "Second Master said that the tea leaves this year are more prosperous than last year."

Luo Yun nodded when she heard the words: "That's true, our Qingping Village has good mountains and rivers, and the tea leaves are long and fat and strong."

"So this year's tea is selling well?"

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Yun's face froze, and she picked up a piece of spicy fried pork uncomfortably and sent it to her son's bowl: "I haven't been home for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight, why don't you eat some fried pork?" .”

Seeing her changing the subject, Chen Jin had already guessed that it was almost inseparable: there must be a problem with the sales of tea.

The tea grown in Qingping Village is Qingcheng Xueya.

Qingcheng Xueya has magnificent buds and leaves, straight and slightly curved shape, pekoe exposed, high and long-lasting fragrance, fresh and strong taste, clear green soup, resistant to brewing, fresh and even leaf bottom, rich in effective chemical substances, it can be called one of the best teas in tea. Treasures.

Lu Yu recorded in "The Classic of Tea": "The tea grows from the Zhangren Peak in Qingcheng, Shushan Mountain, which is the top grade of tea. Its Hengyuan, sparrow tongue, bird's beak, and wheat grains are covered with its tender buds."

Although the tea in Qingping Village is not as good as the hundred-year-old tea trees on Mount Qingcheng, it used to be tribute tea.

In Chen Jin's memory, the supply of tea in Qingping Village has always been in short supply.

Especially at this time of the new year, there are tea merchants from other places everywhere, like crucian carp crossing the river.

But I don't know why, the foreign tea merchants suddenly stopped coming in the past few years.Even the village has become deserted.

Of course, in addition to foreign tea merchants, there are also local tea merchants, but they have been operating in the local area for many years and deliberately keep their prices extremely low.

Tea farmers have worked hard for a year, and they count on Mingqian Tea to make some profits, so naturally they don't want to take advantage of them.

Out-of-town tea merchants do not come, and local tea merchants lower prices, but Qingming is only a few days away. Once they miss it, the picked Mingqian tea can only be sold as Yuqian tea, and the price will naturally plummet.

As soon as the matter was delayed, the tea farmers still had to bow their heads to the local tea merchants.

Chen Xiangyang has not returned home at this time, probably because those few local tea merchants are lowering the price again.

They are sure that the roads of tea farmers are narrow.

After a meal, Chen Jin was only thinking wildly, and he didn't even have a memory of what he ate.

Just as he put down the bowls and chopsticks, there was a sudden noise outside, and the old man Chen Xiangyang entered the room in a hurry.

Luo Yun hurriedly handed over a glass of water, Chen Xiangyang didn't talk nonsense, took it and gulped it down.

"Old man, how are you talking?" Chen Jin asked.

Chen Xiangyang was taken aback when he heard the words: "You know everything?"

Chen Jin nodded.

Chen Xiangyang let out a long sigh, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The tea merchant of the dog day, I speak good and bad words, and my throat is full of smoke. Not only did the price not increase, but it was [-]% lower than last year. I really don't want to leave us any money." .”

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned to Chen Jin: "Planting tea is a dead end."

"I don't know, Gua Wazi, you just want to stop working hard and come back to suffer."

Chen Jin just smiled embarrassingly, and thought to himself: Old man, we two are almost as big as each other, and they are both killing pigs.

Immediately asked: "Where are those foreign tea merchants? Didn't they come here every year before?"

Chen Xiangyang shook his head: "I don't know what the situation is, but I don't have time to call them, it's like a good deal."

When Chen Jin heard this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart. Most of the local tea merchants got in the way and reached some kind of cooperation with foreign tea merchants.

"Old man, apart from these tea merchants, is there no other way?"

Chen Xiangyang shook his head: "It's not that easy, the tea market has already been saturated, and our Qingping Village is in a valley, who would want to come here?"

The key to the cultivation system is cultivation.

There are four essentials for cultivating immortals: wealth, spouse, law, and land.

If you don't have money, how can you cultivate immortality?

Therefore, running the tea garden at home is Chen Jin's top priority now.

And he did think a lot, and concluded: the Internet is the real way out.

Aren't the young ladies who sell tea on the Internet all successful?

It's just that their grandfather who grows tea is always in trouble.

So selling tea requires a change of thinking.

When he was in college, Chen Jin had the idea of ​​establishing marketing channels, and he even built a tea distribution website because of this.

It's just that after graduating, he was beaten up by the society, and he forgot his original intention for a while.

Now is exactly the opportunity.

Just as he was thinking this way, the old man suddenly came out from the back room, holding a square brown paper bag in his hand.

After carefully folding the seal, he wrapped two more layers in a plastic bag and handed it to Chen Jin: "I really can't leave my body these few days. Tomorrow, you can help me go to Qingcheng Mountain and send this bag of tea to Shangjin." Go clean."

"Shangqing Temple?" Chen Jin was slightly astonished.

Shangqing Temple is one of the Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain. It was first built in the Jin Dynasty. After thousands of years, it has experienced ups and downs.

Didn't expect the old man to still have such business contacts?
"When you arrive at Shangqing Temple, go directly to the abbot Yuyangzi. When the time comes, you will give the old man's name, and someone will lead you there."

("Abbot" is a Taoist practice term for "a person's heart is square, and abbot with a heavenly heart". Later, Buddhism borrowed this title.)
Speaking of this, Chen Xiangyang was still not at ease, and told him: "Gua Wazi, the abbot is a master of Taoism, so you must not lose your etiquette at that time."

"Got it~"
