"What's going on?" Zhu Ming asked in surprise.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "When I chatted with tea workers, they said that tea can also be picked in autumn. Spring tea is the best and can be made into group tea. Autumn tea can also be sold, but it can only be made into loose tea. It doesn't matter if we fry tea.

, although the quality of tea leaves in autumn is not that good, it is absolutely fine for frying.”

There are many records of autumn tea in the Tang and Ming dynasties.

Only in the Song Dynasty, there was very little autumn tea. The reason was that the way of drinking tea in the Song Dynasty had too high requirements on the quality of tea buds. Even the tea masters were too lazy to tax autumn tea and allowed tea plantation owners to make loose tea in autumn and sell it for themselves.

Zhu Guoxiang said excitedly: "Utilizing the autumn tea, our annual profit from our more than 300 acres of tea hills is estimated to be over a thousand dollars!"

There are also hundreds of acres of tea mountains outside Lao Bai. By evading taxes and selling private tea, plus a small amount of top-quality tea, the net profit is about 200 guan a year.

The annual profit of Qianguan would make the old white man's eyes turn red, and he would probably send someone over to inquire about tea-frying techniques.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "There are many poor people outside Yangzhou City. When the Zheng family sends a boat to collect tea, you can ask them to help recruit people. The new villagers live in the Waste Tea Mountain downstream. This year, the Waste Tea Mountain must be cleared out! Tea leaves

If we sell it, we will make money, and if we harvest corn and sweet potatoes, we will have food. I will have no problem recruiting another 300 people this year."

Ju Ming smiled and said: "With another three hundred people recruited, the population will be close to 1,400. This is the largest force in the county. The future is promising!"
