"Cousin Asna, long time no see!" Astalu said to Asna with a smile on his face. It can be seen from his bright and clear eyes that he is really happy that he has already joined the Cangmu Dynasty.

He has no real relatives. Only Asna, his mother's cousin, has the closest relationship with him. However, Asna is the Duke of the Dark Dynasty, so there are not many opportunities to see her!

Asna smiled and hugged Astalu in her arms, "I haven't seen you for so long, but you have grown a lot taller. Do you have someone you like? If not, how about I help you find someone, sister?"

"

"No need, sister!" Astalu's face turned red, "And hurry up and let go of me, I'm no longer a child!"

"Humph! In my eyes, you will always be a child!" Asna said quite proudly, who made her a sister?!

"Ahem!" At this time, Lin Zheng coughed dryly at the side, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency Astalu, we meet again!"

Hearing Lin Zheng's voice, Astalu's expression couldn't help but froze. After Asna let go of him, he discovered Lin Zheng standing aside, "It's you?!" Astalu was very surprised.

, although I had long anticipated that I would meet Lin Zheng again, I did not expect that I would meet Lin Zheng on such an occasion.

After coming back to his senses, Astalu looked a little embarrassed. After pushing Asna away quietly, he smiled at Lin Zheng and said, "I didn't expect to see His Majesty here, Astalu."

You are well paid!"

"This is not in Istria, you'd better just call me by my name!" Lin Zheng seemed to have remembered something and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself to you yet! Sorry! Sorry.

!My surname is Lin, Lin Zheng, and my courtesy name is Yiping! This is my wife Lin Eve, and these are Dantalin, Andos, and Lizzie."

"It's an honor to meet all of you beautiful ladies, madam!" Astalu stroked her chest and saluted very elegantly. It was so perfect in every aspect that it was hard to fault and made people feel comfortable. Although Lin Zheng was a little unconvinced, he had to

Admit it, Astaru's image is indeed much better than mine.

Asna noticed Lin Zheng's little thoughts, covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Okay, don't stand here anymore, Mapa's lunch should be ready, let's go have a meal first! Aska

, you probably haven’t eaten yet, right?” Then he suddenly smiled and explained to Lin Zheng and the others: “Oh, Aska is this child’s nickname, it’s cute, right?”

"Sister!" Astalu showed a helpless expression, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat? I haven't eaten yet. Let's go!" After saying that, he gave Lin Zheng and the others a wry smile, "I'm sorry, everyone.

, Cousin Asna’s character is like this, making everyone laugh!”

"Where! Where!" Lin Zheng grinned, thinking that we have all seen your cousin in the worse state, and there is nothing to laugh at. At this time, Mapa happened to come over, "Your Excellency, what are you doing?

Dear distinguished guests, lunch has been prepared, please move to the restaurant to dine!"

"Okay Mapa, let's go there right now!"

The lunch at Asmod's house was very sumptuous. The table full of dishes gave people an astonishing visual impact. Food pays attention to the color, flavor and taste. In terms of the word "color", Mapa is really the best, and

The aroma that hits your nostrils shows that Mapa is also superb at cooking the "smell" and "taste"!

"Yes! It's delicious!" Dantalin said with a satisfied look on his face, "Sure enough, the Duke's housekeeper's craftsmanship is really good, much better than Sabas's craftsmanship!"

Eve smiled when she heard this, "Don't let Sabas hear what you said, or else he will cook for you in the future!"

"But it is indeed more delicious than what Sabas makes! However, the black tea and milk tea made by Sabas are still very delicious!"

"Thank you Miss Dantalin for the compliment!" Mapa said humbly, "May I ask, what are these black tea and milk tea?" As the butler of the Asmodeus family, there are actually drinks that he doesn't know about.

Judging from Dantalin's demeanor, these two things seem to be very good drinks, which makes Mapa very concerned!

"Black tea is a drink made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tree after special processing. It needs to be brewed with boiling water when drinking. Different brewing techniques will lead to different tastes of the tea. Of course, the taste of the tea will vary.

The quality has a lot to do with the selection of tea leaves and the production process. Milk tea, as the name suggests, is made by adding milk to tea, and some sugar can be added appropriately." As he said that, Lin Zheng took out a tea can.

.

Speaking of this jar of tea, it still has its origins. Sabas was undoubtedly a dedicated manager and would always prepare refreshing drinks for Lin Zheng when he was reviewing memorials. However, in this era, things like tea were not yet available.

It didn't appear, but there was just a drink soaked in an unknown fruit. Lin Zheng really couldn't stand the bitter taste of the drink, but he couldn't live up to Sabas's kindness. In desperation, he went to try it himself.

When it comes to black tea, surprisingly, Istria actually has a very high-quality natural tea tree. The black tea prepared from this tea tree is extremely superior in terms of aroma, taste, and color of the tea soup. This is because

Lin Zheng is not good at processing. If he had mature processing technology, the quality of tea would be even higher.

After tasting black tea, Sabas immediately favored it and praised it as an excellent drink for entertaining guests. He organized a group of demons to conduct research on tea production and prepared to make black tea a specialty of Istria.

industry to develop. After this period of research, Istrian black tea has initially formed a unique production process, and it will be ready for large-scale production in a while. Maybe it won’t be long before the production of Istrian black tea

The fame will spread throughout the Demon God Realm.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Zheng smiled and said: "As for tea, I still have some here. If Mr. Mapa is interested, you can try it, but these are just crudely made by me, and the taste is slightly worse.

!”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yiping!" Mapa didn't show any pretense. After thanking him, he took the tea can from Lin Zheng, looking very happy.

At this time, Asna and her brother became curious, "Mapa, can you brew it once now? I want to taste the taste of this black tea!" Asna said with some anticipation.

"Okay, sir! Please wait a moment!" Mapa said with a snap of his fingers, and immediately an exquisite small table appeared in front of him, and a kettle floated next to him, constantly steaming. Simple.

Brewing tea leaves on the ground is naturally not difficult. Mapa quickly brewed a pot of fragrant black tea. Smelling the overflowing tea aroma, Asna's eyes immediately lit up, "It's really a tea."

It smells elegant, Mapa!”

"Please wait a moment, sir!" Unlike Asna who was paying attention to the aroma, Mapa discovered something else during the brewing process. He poured out a cup of black tea and took a sip, with a serious look on his face.

Taste the color, "The delicate sweetness and elegant fragrance are indeed an excellent drink. However, the taste is not delicate and soft enough, and the brewing method is wrong!"

With that said, Mapa opened his eyes. After taking away the black tea on the table, he brewed it again. This time, he carefully considered the weight of the black tea and was very particular about the amount of water added.

He also paid attention to the time after steeping the tea leaves, and Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment. He was indeed an excellent housekeeper! He had just come into contact with black tea, and he actually had such a deep understanding of the brewing of black tea.

After a moment, four cups of attractively colored black tea appeared, "I've kept you waiting for a long time! Although I haven't mastered the best technique yet, the taste should be okay!"

I'll go! You're calling it "OK" when you make it, so isn't the black tea I made turned into rancid water?! Lin Zheng was speechless for a while as he watched Mapa bring the black tea in front of him, but he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Sure enough,

As for black tea, Sabas is better!

"Mr. Yiping, how are you doing?" Mapa asked, looking at Lin Zheng. Asna and her brother were already intoxicated in drinking tea. As Lin Zheng was the "inventor" of black tea, Mapa wanted to hear his evaluation.

!

Lin Zheng gently put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "If we calculate it out of 10 points, it would be 7 points!"

"Only 7 points? I feel that the taste is already very elegant!" Astalu said in surprise.

But Mapa smiled with satisfaction, "A rating of 7 points is not low. I am very grateful to Mr. Yiping for the compliment!" For a person who is new to black tea, such a rating is indeed very good!

"Hey! Yiping!" Asna put down the tea cup and said with great interest: "Aren't you going to deal with the Henumar family?"

"Uh, yes!" Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

At this time, Astalu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand what Asna was thinking, and suddenly said: "The beverage products in the Demon God Realm are relatively monotonous. So far, in addition to various types of drinks, there are only three mainstream beverage products.

, Bitter Fruit, Golden Thread Flower, and Fragrant Vine. Bitter Fruit is a specialty of the Cangmu Dynasty, and the largest Bitter Fruit producer is Henumar. The annual income from operating Bitter Fruit is in Henumar.

The family accounts for at least 40% of the income!”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" When Lin Zheng and the others heard Astalu's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. The bitter fruit should be the kind of fruit that Sabas used before, and this kind of drink is in

In terms of positioning, it overlaps with that of tea, and its suitable audience is even far lower than that of tea. However, tea far surpasses Ku Ku Gu in terms of taste. Once tea is promoted, Ku Ku Ku Gu will definitely be the most popular beverage.

They will be squeezed out of the beverage market in a short period of time. Once the important source of income of Kukuguo is cut off, the Henumar family will be lively. You must know that this is definitely not just a matter of 40% of the income, it is also about

As for the huge bitter fruit production system of Henumar, once this system collapses, it will inevitably cause huge chaos in Henumar. It would not be surprising even if a riot breaks out. This will be a blow to the behemoth of Henumar.

Punch hard!

"This is interesting!" Lin Zheng laughed evilly. It happened to be the preparation period for the palace dance. A large number of nobles from all over the Demon God Realm gathered in Cangmu City. For the nobles, a cup can show their temperament and taste.

The black tea is obviously more attractive than the bitter bitter fruit. Even the great demon kings of later generations like the black tea. Lin Zheng doesn't believe that it can't open the market among a group of demon nobles!

Asna is someone who is afraid of chaos in the world. As soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, she said enthusiastically: "We can hold a tea party. Then I can use my name to invite some more famous nobles over, as long as I can

If you get word of mouth from them, it will be a very easy thing to promote black tea. After the dance is over, I think you Istria will receive a lot of orders! But now there is a problem, you Istria

How is Stella’s tea production?”

"Uh! This is indeed a problem!" Lin Zheng frowned. Although the quality of Istria's tea is very good, because it has just been systematically artificially planted and produced, the output is quite limited. Moreover,

The black tea produced in Istria is of high quality, and it is difficult to enter the mass market, nor can it enter the mass market. Sabas has positioned the market for the nobles with status, and there is no such thing as lowering the price.

You absolutely cannot do this.

After thinking about it, Lin Zheng's eyes fell on Asna, "Asna, you don't mind making some extra money, right?"

Asna reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Are you going to hand over the tea making process to me?"

"Yes!" Lin Zheng nodded, "Our place in Istria is not very big, and it is impossible to take over the entire tea business of the Demon God Realm. Therefore, we are only preparing to occupy the high-end market. As for the Chinese

The low-end market is too huge for us to eat, and even your Asmodeus family probably won’t be able to eat it all. However, we have the opportunity to seize most of the market share, and everyone can count on it.

Is it better to get acquainted and give you the benefits than to get acquainted with strangers at a cheaper price?!"

"Thank you so much!" Asna said with a smile on her face. Asna is very clear about the value of tea. Even if it is only in the middle and low-end market, it will be an amazing profit. In such a situation

Under the prospect, even Asna still can't keep calm. This is really pie in the sky!

At this time, Lin Zheng looked at Astalu and smiled: "Of course, if Askar is interested, you can also participate. This market is more than enough for the three of us!"

However, after Astalu was stunned for a moment, he smiled and shook his head and said: "My words are not necessary. Although I am a marquis, this title is just a decoration. I have no private territory at all. Even if you give me tea production

Technology, I can’t produce it myself!”

A marquis doesn't have his own territory? Doesn't that mean he is worse than a viscount?! However, although he was a little surprised, Lin Zheng didn't take it seriously. As for the future supreme four pillars, he belongs to the entire southern part of the Demon God Realm.

territory, he will not be short of some money earned from tea by then.
