The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

It is hard to imagine how much profit the tea business can bring to the Jingyang Wang residence in a year if it is expanded in the future.

Today's accounts have not been calculated yet. Although the specific amount is not known, seeing the boxes, sacks, and mountains of copper coins piled up in the warehouse, we can know that making a fortune every day is not enough to describe this business.

It was not until the midnight that the work in the shop was completed.

Since the shop closed at Youshi, it has been counting money.

The shop assistants stood in the warehouse at first to sort out the copper coins, but finally they could not stand anymore, so they sat directly in the pile of money and began to count the copper coins, and have been counting until now.

After counting, they matched with the account book, and then they were put into the warehouse and sealed.

Boxes of copper coins were collected, some were left in the shop, and the rest were sent to the Jingyang Wang residence.

The next morning, Li Fu got up, washed up with Xiaotao's help, and walked into the side hall to eat.

Fresh tea eggs were placed in a milky white porcelain bowl, white porridge was placed in front of Li Fu, and two plates of pickles were placed on the table.

Lao Zhao also came to the side hall. Seeing Li Fu eating breakfast inside, he waited outside the door under the corridor. After Li Fu finished eating, he went in to report to Li Fu.

"My dear, the account book of the tea shop yesterday has been delivered, and the copper coins received by the shop yesterday have also been delivered to the house. Now the people in the house are counting and storing them in the warehouse." Lao Zhao said.

"Okay, send it to the study, I'll take a look." Li Fu said.

He was also curious about how much money the tea shop sold on the first day of opening.

He came out of the side hall, walked to the backyard, and also went to the backyard warehouse to take a look.

Just one look, he was stunned.

There were more than 20 servants in the house, and four of them carried a wooden box from the back door to the yard, carrying it one trip after another.

Lao Zhao followed Li Fu.

"My dear, three ox carts came this morning, each with three boxes. The clerks who followed said that this was only the first trip, and they would have to pull several more trips." Lao Zhao said.

"So many?" Li Fu was surprised.

"They said that half of the tea we brought back from Huizhou was sold yesterday. All the boxed ones were sold. Some people who didn't buy the boxed ones weighed loose tea and took it back. I guess there will be more business as soon as the shop opens today." Lao Zhao said: "Erfu said that the clerks in the shop worked until midnight yesterday to count the accounts and copper coins, and then they worked for another hour to pack the new boxes sent by the carpenter's workshop yesterday with tea, and then they went to rest. Otherwise, there would only be loose tea left in the shop today."

Li Fu was surprised and nodded slightly.

"It seems that we are still not well prepared." Li Fu said with emotion.

After he came back from Huizhou, although the tea shop had been decorated long ago, other things had just begun to be prepared.

Especially the wooden boxes that the carpenter workshop made for the tea shop, under the tight time, they could only make so many.

Before the shop opened, all that could be used was used.

Yesterday, some were made, and the carpenter workshop sent them over after the shop closed yesterday evening. They were all made a few days ago and can only be used today after drying. They were quickly sent over after drying.

I'm afraid that the boxed tea will have to be limited in the next two days.

Otherwise, the packaging can't keep up.

If the packaging can't keep up, how can we sell the packaging?

Can we lose money on this money?

That won't work.

"Aren't there still half of the goods left? Let Zhao Fu think about it." Li Fu said, "Let him communicate directly with Huizhou Tea House to adjust the goods. Also, let the carpenter workshop quickly customize the tea gift boxes for the Dragon Boat Festival and spend more time on it."

"Yes." Lao Zhang responded, "Sir, the carpenter workshop still has orders received before the New Year that have not been completed. If a part of the people are specially assigned to do this, it will have some impact on the progress of the furniture business."

"Let's celebrate the festival first." Li Fu said, "Are there any carpenters near Chang'an City at present? Spend money to hire people, hire temporary workers."

"Yes."

Lao Zhao nodded.

Adding manpower is the most appropriate solution at present.

Sir, you have to earn this money. If you miss a day during the festival, you have to wait another year.

"Is there any news from the farm today?" Li Fu asked.

"Not yet." Lao Zhao said.

Li Fu hummed.

He gave the recipe to Concubine Yin, who gave it to Yin Ah Shu. Now the tea is on sale. If Yin Ah Shu wants to do tea business, he has to buy two things from himself.

Tea and soy sauce.

As for soy sauce, it doesn't matter whether you put it in or not.

The taste difference is not that obvious.

But when it comes to business, why not do something that can make money?

Li Fu himself did notConcubine Yin thought so complicated, such as holding the raw materials and not selling them to Yin Ashu.

Chunchun was judging others by her own meanness.

As for making money, it doesn't matter who you make money from.

As long as you pay, it doesn't matter who you sell it to.

The soy sauce in the workshop on the farm has not been sold to the public yet. It's just the right time to open up the channel. After selling the soy sauce brewed last winter, we can make room to brew new ones.

Anyway, it's all for sale. It doesn't matter who the buyer is.

Buying in large quantities is much less troublesome than selling it piecemeal.

The tea shop opened yesterday. I don't know how Yin Ashu is doing. There is no news from the farm now, which means that Yin Ashu has not sent anyone to the workshop on the farm to purchase soy sauce.

Forget it, why bother thinking about them.

Li Fu strolled back to the study.

In the study, Lao Zhao showed Li Fu the account book.

Li Fu flipped through the account book sent by Zhao Fu.

One hundred and eighty-eight strings of boxed tea, two hundred boxes of black tea and green tea.

A total of seventy-five thousand two hundred strings!!!

All the tea prepared in the shop was sold.

One hundred and sixty-six strings of black tea and green tea, also two hundred boxes each.

A total of sixty-six thousand four hundred strings!!!

When preparing the goods, for the convenience of statistics, all the numbers were prepared in integers.

Just these two kinds of tea, this is more than the project of Da'an Palace last year.

There are also scattered ones, eighty-eight strings, sixty-six strings, and the cheapest eighteen strings.

There are also some loose tea.

Li Fu opened the last page of the account book, the total on it.

Fifteen hundred and seventy-two strings and three cents.

Some people also bought some loose tea of ​​eighteen strings to try.

This...

Li Fu thought that tea would be sold in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect it to be so popular on the first day.

All the previous publicity work was not in vain!

Selected by the royal family! Must be the best!

Plus, during the Chinese New Year, Cheng Yaojin became famous.

This really raised the curiosity of other wealthy families in Chang'an to a new level.

As soon as the tea shop opened, they came.
