Chapter 50
This jasmine tea is indeed the best. It is the most impressive among the teas that Fang Hao has ever drunk. But for some reason, he always feels that the taste is a little bit inferior. If he can make up for such a shortcoming, this tea will definitely be served again. a step.

"Is this tea okay?" Zhou Yongsi noticed Fang Hao's demeanor when drinking tea, with a little complacency in his smile.

"It's top class!" Fang Hao gave a thumbs up: "I don't know how much this tea costs per catty, I want to buy some and send it back to my family to taste."

Zhou Yongsi smiled: "I still have two cans of this tea here, you can take it if you want. But to tell you the truth, this tea still has some shortcomings, specifically, the last smelting is not done enough, resulting in a lack of flavor. "

Fang Hao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the taste was missing when he drank to the end just now, so this was the case.

"It seems that you have tasted it too."

Zhou Yongsi also noticed Fang Hao's expression, and sighed: "Actually, the more times of scenting, the better. For example, the same jasmine tea is also scented. In order to save costs, some manufacturers may 100 catties of tea only produce 20 catties of flowers. If calculated by scenting 8 times, the total amount of jasmine flowers is 160 catties.

Those who pay attention to the quality of scented tea may spend 50 to 60 catties of flowers or more each time they are scented. If they are scented 6 times, the total amount of jasmine flowers will reach more than 300 catties.Therefore, the proportion of camellia is different, and the final quality is also very different. The quality of jasmine tea cannot be judged simply by the number of scenting times.

And my idea is to use the best camellia ratio and scent as many times as possible, but in terms of craftsmanship, it really can’t be done overnight. We have tried countless times. According to the formula, 9 times is close to the limit. Let’s The 10-scented tea I drank came out before the specified time due to technical problems, so it lacked a little flavor.Why!I don't know when this problem will be resolved. "

If you want to achieve the ultimate in anything in the world, you must be prepared to face failure.

Fang Hao now knows how to judge the quality of tea leaves, but he is not familiar with the tea making process, so he can't help Zhou Yongsi much except to say some words of encouragement.

Zhou Yongsi was silent for a moment, and then laughed again: "The jasmine tea in the 9th cell is already very popular in my tea shop, so let's take your time with the 10th cellar, anyway, this is my life's work, and there is still time now." There are."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Your open-minded spirit is what I want to learn."

"I have no choice but to have fun while suffering!"

Zhou Yongsi laughed and heard someone knocking on the door outside. He told Fang Hao to go out and see who it was.

After a while, Zhou Yongsi came in with a person. Fang Hao looked up and saw that it was Er Mazi's father.

Zhou Yongsi introduced to both parties: "Uncle Tang, this is my friend Fang Hao. Although he is young, he is famous for his eyesight!"

"Teacher Fang is really young and promising!" Tang Zhongqiao hurried forward and shook hands with Fang Hao who got up.

Fang Hao smiled and said some polite words, and noticed that the bag Tang Zhongqiao was carrying was the one that Er Mazi had just taken.

Zhou Yongsi made tea for Tang Zhongqiao, and Tang Zhongqiao's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance of the tea: "It seems that I have been blessed by Teacher Fang to drink such good tea."

Then, he tasted a few sips of the tea soup carefully and was full of praise.

"Hey!" Tang Zhongqiao put down his teacup and sighed: "There is a prodigal son in the family, we can't worry about it! After a few days of hard work, we went to the vegetable market this morning, and he stole these pieces of silver. When it came out, I dared not tell my wife, for fear that she would suffer another heart attack in a fit of anger!

Although these things have been recovered, in this world, there are only thieves who have a thousand days to guard against thieves, let alone a house thief, and he will be troubled by him sooner or later. I thought, I should just sell it to save money He misses.In our neighborhood, Xiao Zhou is the only one who is more reliable in the antique business, that's why I'm here to trouble you. "

Zhou Yongsi said: "Uncle Tang, to tell you the truth, my friend saw the copper coins and silver anchors just now, and only a few of the copper coins are real, and they are worth less than two hundred. The silver is now cheaper than what you bought at the beginning." It was much lower when it was sold, and you will definitely lose money if you sell it now.”

"I know the price of silver. It fell even more before, but now it has risen a bit. If you sell it, sell it. Maybe it will fall in the future!" At the end, the wrinkles on Tang Zhongqiao's forehead deepened a little. At the end of the day, he took out all the silver anchors from the bag and put them on the table: "Look, what price can I give you?"

Zhou Yongsi was actually in a bit of a dilemma. He likes antiques. This silver anchor is not old. To him, it is neither playable nor valuable for collection. It can't be sold for a lot of money. Fang Hao also thought the same way.

It’s just that it’s not good not to accept it. After all, Tang Zhongqiao helped his father in the 70s and [-]s. Otherwise, his father would probably be disabled even if he survived. Because of this, he asked Fang Hao to help Er Mazi identify the copper coins.

"By the way, let's sell this jade pendant as well." Tang Zhongqiao took out another jade pendant from his pocket and put it on the table.

Fang Hao picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. It was a white jade phoenix pendant. The carving was quite remarkable, the decoration was vivid and the jade quality was fairly delicate. He pushed the age to the late Qing Dynasty.

Fang Hao looked at Zhou Yongsi, and Zhou Yongsi said, "You can estimate the value of it."

By saying that, he gave Fang Hao the right of first refusal.

Fang Hao said: "This is a Kui Feng Pei from the late Qing Dynasty. The carving is not bad, but the quality of the jade is not very good. Let it cost 1 yuan."

Tang Zhongqiao was quite satisfied with the price, and asked again: "Where are these five silver pegs?"

"These five silver pegs count as two thousand and five dollars, how about it?" The two thousand that Fang Hao said before is a single price, and five of them together will be quite expensive.

Tang Zhongqiao hesitated for a moment, and agreed to the price. After all, it is impossible for others to make no money, and the risk of silver price falling must also be considered.And he felt that Fang Hao's price was better because of Zhou Yongsi's relationship.

"Okay, if you want, these things are all for you."

"Will the money be transferred to the bank, or will it be transferred directly to you on the phone?"

"Just transfer the phone to me." Tang Zhongqiao thought of something again: "That's right, my son is a jerk, let's sign a transfer agreement, so that he won't cause trouble when the time comes."

Fang Hao couldn't wait for this, even if Tang Zhongqiao didn't mention it himself, he would mention it, so he wrote two agreements, and both parties signed them respectively.

Before Tang Zhongqiao left, he wanted to give those copper coins to Fang Hao, but Fang Hao stuffed him with 200 yuan. The antique business is prone to disputes, so in order to avoid trouble, the money must be given.
