Salt was under the control of the imperial court, and the Yuezheng Family could not get their hand in. But tea had been their business for many years, and the Yuezheng Family started with such a business.

If they took smaller amounts, the tribes might get disappointed, and the other business families might take that chance and sneak in, replacing them as the main supplier.

If they were replaced, not only tea leaves, but other goods might not sell easily.

As long as they had satisfying tea leaves, the other goods could be sold at the same time.

If the amount of tea leaves wasn’t enough, then they would need to find other new clients and turn to other aspects.

That was not what Yuezheng Hong was willing to do.

They were mainly a tea leaves business family, and they were experienced in it.

Also, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yun’s tea farms would have a small amount of goods in early autumn this year, but next year’s supply would be greatly increased. After two or three years, it would reach a stable amount, and it would increase in the next few years steadily.

Those were not ordinary tea leaves, but golden sprouts and lavender! With these two categories of tea leaves, the Yuezheng Family could expand this business line to the capital.

Yuezheng Hong had been trying to expand the business to the capital, but his father ran into an accident and the whole thing was postponed.

Now his father had healed and the golden sprouts and lavenders were soon going to be available, so the plan could be resumed, and things would become much easier.

After all, these two kinds were the most difficult to cultivate and the capital had a high demand for them. Hence, as long as he had the goods, no one would be able to get rid of them.

They needed to stick to the tea leaves business. It should never fade away.

But the weather had made things difficult in the recent past. What if the weather turned better this year?

The two managers and the two owners started having an argument. Both sides had their reasonable contentions and did not retreat at all, so the argument became very lively.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look between themselves. ‘

What were they doing here? Watching the show?

Shao Yunduan smiled bitterly.

He knew nothing about business, let alone tea leaves.

But Qiao Xuan gave a suggestion instinctively. “Tea leaves can be made into the shape of brick, easier to transport and much less likely to get rotten.”

She faintly remembered that there was a doc.u.mentary about tea transportation, where the tea bricks were mentioned.

The argument stopped immediately.

The Deputy Manager did not show any look of contempt, seeing that it was the two owners’ good friend who had spoken. But he still said calmly, “Mrs. Shao, we are already using tea bricks.”

Yuezheng Xiao suddenly had hope rising inside his heart, when he saw this couple who had surprised them so many times. What if he made the right bet!

“Actually, bricks are differently made and processed. Some bricks can preserve the taste, color and avoid some flaws. Unfortunately, our bricks aren’t good enough so we are always seeking better ways to make tea bricks. But it is never easy…”

Qiao Xuan thought of the system in s.p.a.ce. She felt like giving it a try.

She thought for a while and said, “1 seem to remember having read something about craftsmanship of tea bricks making. I will try to recall those things and write them down for you. Maybe, it will be of some help.”

They were all startled.

Yuezheng Xiao was also taken aback.. “Are you sure? We would pay for it, if you have a better method for making tea bricks!”
