80s Taoism

Chapter 214: The Magical Use of Bamboo Tubes

"Biao Hua, how are you going to sell this tea? It would be a pity if such a good tea was sold cheaply." Although Zhong Jinxiang saw this, he had no good idea.

How did Zhang Jiaohua know? Scratching his head, he said truthfully, "I don't know either."

Zhong Jinxiang smiled instead. In his eyes, Zhang Jiaohua was too monstrous, but seeing him like this now, he felt a little normal.

"It's not urgent. You should think about how to pack your tea. Regarding the sale, I suggest you ask the old leader. He has many connections, so he might have a good way." Seeing Zhang Jiaohua scratching his head, Zhong Jinxiang gave him an idea.

"Yes." Zhang Jiaohua chuckled.

"Biaohua, it's good to put your tea in bamboo tubes. If you carve some patterns on the bamboo tubes, it will be beautiful. There are many people in our village who can get this person." Zhang Jiwang also came up with an idea.

"That's right." Zhang Jiaohua looked at the bamboo tube he used to hold black tea just now. Originally, he did it casually, but he did not expect to find the most suitable packaging. There are many bamboo strip craftsmen in the village. There is a large bamboo forest near Meiziao. All the adult men in the village know how to make bamboo strips. It is also possible to know how to engrave patterns.

"This is indeed necessary, and it is very characteristic of the future." Zhong Jinxiang nodded. Everyone in the village showed smiling faces. They were worried that the tea leaves would be picked and there would be no place to make money. Unexpectedly, there will be a new door soon. They all looked gratefully at Zhang Jiwang who came up with his idea. Zhang Jiwang has a handicraft, and whether he uses bamboo tubes to pack tea has little influence on him. But for the villagers, there is a rare way to make money. Although Zhang Jiaohua didn't want to spend his wages when he came here to pick tea leaves this time. But in the future Zhang Jiaohua wants to carve bamboo tubes, so it is impossible for Zhang Jiaohua not to pay everyone's wages. After all, Zhang Jiaohua is doing business.

"Dechun, this matter still needs to trouble you." Zhang Manyin pulled Zhang Dechun aside.

"Are you talking about the carved bamboo tubes? Don't worry about this matter, I promise to organize everyone to do it. But the carved bamboo tubes need to pay everyone some wages. After all, this is a long-term business. There is no benefit, and there is no way to do it for a long time." Zhang Dechun was afraid that Zhang Manyin wanted him to bring everyone to work for Zhang Jiaohuabai. Then he will not be scolded to death by everyone.

"How can we not pay wages? Although the beggar is a child who is ignorant, he still understands the truth. I will tell him later. This is also a good thing for everyone. If this tea is made, everyone will have an extra job in the future." Zhang Manyin is a kind person, so naturally he will not wholeheartedly take advantage of everyone.

Taking bamboo tubes as packaging is not an easy task. After all, the capacity of the bamboo tubes should be relatively consistent. This requires a standard. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to do it, but Zhang Jiwang understood. Just like carpentry, a piece of furniture has multiple parts, and each part must have a standard. Only when the standards are unified can the various components be assembled. If the standards are not the same, then the components cannot be assembled.

Although Zhang Jiaohua increased the amount of each concoction. But concocting once is nothing more than two or three. At the end of the day, non-stop, no more than ten catties of black tea in bamboo tubes can be produced. The entire picking period is only three to five days. So this batch of tea, Zhang Jiaohua only concocted more than 30 catties of tea. Zhang Jiaohua still has to go to school every day, so it is impossible to stay in the garden all day to process tea. It is doomed that the tea he concocts can only follow the high-quality route.

Zhang Xianglin is the best bamboo strip maker in the village. It is said that he can use bamboo to weave bamboo butterflies that can fly for half a mile. Completely bamboo construction with a bamboo frame inside. But Zhang Jiaohua hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't know if it was true or not.

Zhang Dechun found Zhang Xingwang that day, and asked Zhang Xingwang to make a batch of templates, especially for engraving, which is Zhang Xianglin's unique skill. Zhang Jiaohua had seen this with her own eyes. With just a bamboo knife, Zhang Xingwang can carve various lifelike characters, flowers, plants, birds and fish on bamboo. It is most appropriate to ask him to design the colors of the tea bamboo tubes.

However, someone raised a new question. If bamboo is used to pack tea, what will happen if the tea grows worms? In addition, bamboo is made into a bamboo tube, and it is impossible to dry it completely, and it is easy to grow mold during the rainy season. If it is not done well, the tea will also grow moldy.

Zhang Jiaohua was not worried, he was going to make one or two talismans on the bamboo tube, not to mention that bugs would not come, even mice would not dare to bite the tea leaves. There are runes guarding it, attracting the aura of heaven and earth, and it will not rot for a hundred years, so how can it be moldy?

In a few days, more than 1,000 catties of tea were picked from a tea farm of more than 200 mu. Zhong Jinxiang led the people from Meizi'ao to fry more than 400 catties of tea leaves. According to Zhong Jinxiang's suggestion, each bamboo tube was filled with six taels, and there were more than seven hundred bottles in total. How to sell so much tea has become a problem. Zhong Jinxiang is also very satisfied with the quality of the tea roasted this time. Even if you compare it with those famous teas in the past, the difference will not be too big. But the problem now is that Zhang Jiaohua's tea farm is not well-known. It is not an easy task to sell these tea leaves at a better price.

On Sunday, Zhang Jiaohua took her tea to the town. Naturally, he could only go to Luo Yongming.

Luo Yongming tasted Zhang Jiaohua's tea and was also shocked. He didn't expect that Zhang Jiaohua could make such a big commotion just by messing around with tea.

"Such a good tea. It's a pity that there is no good channel. Don't worry about this. Ask Chang Jun first to see if he has any connections. Such good tea, as long as there is a suitable channel, it will definitely become popular.

Zhang Jiaohua didn't expect to become a hit, he just exchanged these tea leaves for money. This time to make tea, he poured all his money into it. I still owe everyone's wages and the money for the bamboo tube.

After receiving Luo Yongming's call, Luo Changjun, who was already busy, hurried back. He encountered something and was at a loss what to do at first, when he heard his father talk about Zhang Jiaohua, he immediately slapped his head and hurried back.

"Don't worry about the tea. I have an old classmate who is doing well in the provincial capital. I'll ask my classmate to see if he has any good ideas. Do me a favor first. Recently, we received a case. We can't find any traces of criminals. You go back and bring your leopard over, and come with me to the county. See if there is any way to find the criminals." Luo Changjun said.

Naturally, Zhang Jiaohua would not refuse Luo Changjun's request for help. The two hurried to Meiziao, and took the diamond mountain leopard with them to the county seat.
