Zhou Kui didn't know what Lin Xu was thinking, so he continued: "The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau requires Jiangsu Province to weave one million more pieces of silk before the end of the year. How much raw silk will be needed! If the entire province is not
If half of the rice fields have been converted into mulberry fields, how can we produce enough raw silk?"
"If half of the province's rice fields were converted into mulberry fields, raw silk would be enough, but what about the life and death of the people? Who would care?"
Lin Xu's heart was filled with raging anger, and his tone of voice could not help but become cold!
"The life and death of the common people? Humph, those people who are superior can only see their own interests. Who cares about the life and death of the common people!"
Zhou Kui picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp!
Then, he picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea, shook the teacup and said, "Mr. Lin, do you know how much silver this pot of Shifeng Longjing costs?"
"have no idea."
Although Lin Xu likes to drink tea, he has never bought tea himself. It is always bought by the shop assistants. As for the teahouse, he has been to it a few times, but he has never asked about the price. He used to do it.
Xia Dahai paid the bill.
This was not his first time drinking Shifeng Longjing, but he really didn’t know the price.
"Haha, one tael of this Shifeng Longjing costs fifty taels of silver!"
Zhou Kui stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers!
"One tael of this kind of tea costs fifty taels of silver?!"
Lin Xu was shocked!
Although he knew that Shifeng Longjing was expensive, he didn't expect it to be so expensive. It was simply outrageous!
"Sir, do you know why this Shifeng Longjing is so expensive?"
"I don't know, please give me some advice from Brother Zhou."
Zhou Kui is a tea lover, especially Longjing. He took another sip of tea, looked at the green tea in the cup, and said with interest: "This West Lake Longjing has always been known as 'lion, dragon, cloud, tiger,
Plum' ranks among the ranks, among which the number one 'lion' refers to the Lion Peak!"
"The reason why this Shifeng tea ranks first is not only because of its straight and sharp shape, not only because of its high and long-lasting fragrance, but also because Shifeng tea grows on Shifeng Mountain. If you want to pick the best quality,
Tea leaves must be picked by young girls on the mountain at the time of Mao, when the tea trees have just sprouted buds, to get the best flavor!"
"However, Mao Shi is the darkest time of the day, and Shifeng Mountain is very steep, making it difficult to walk! If you are not careful, you may slip down the valley, causing death or injury!"
"Every early spring, several young girls have to be killed or injured in order to pick Shifeng tea!"
"That's why this tea is so expensive!"
"However, don't be too expensive, because the production of Shifeng tea is extremely limited, and most of it is supplied to the capital. If it can leave hundreds of kilograms in the local area, it is considered very good!"
"And these hundreds of kilograms of authentic Shifeng tea cannot be bought by ordinary people even if they have money, and they all fall into the hands of local officials!"
"For example, the pot of Shifeng we drank was not something that this teahouse could have, but was given to me by my master! It only gave me half a catty in total! Normally I would not be willing to drink it, only distinguished guests like Mr.
That’s why I’m willing to take it out and taste it!”
After listening to Zhou Kui's words, Lin Xu suddenly felt that the Shifeng tea, which was originally full of fragrance, suddenly had a bloody flavor!
"So, this kind of tea costs fifty taels of silver per tael, which is indeed not expensive!"
Lin Xu said lightly.
"Hey, the price of fifty taels of silver per tael is actually just a price for the sake of price. In fact, with fifty taels of silver, you have no place to buy it!"
Zhou Kui picked up the teapot and filled Lin Xu with water: "Such a tender tea, you have to drink it while it's hot! If it's cold, the taste will be astringent!"
"Today I really enjoyed my meal with Brother Zhou!" This chapter has been completed!
