Qingfeng Tea Factory.
Spurred on by the orders from the tea rchants, Da Fei was full of energy and imdiately started preparing the sales contracts.
This single deal was enough for them to recoup their entire investnt.
Besides, there was no way they would only order this one batch. This first ti was just a trial. If it sold well, they would definitely order more next ti.
"Gentlen, I trust this Qingfeng Tea hasn’t disappointed you?" Hu Quan asked with a smile as he watched the tea rchants sign the contracts.
The tea rchants all nodded in agreent.
"We were the ignorant ones. To think we didn’t believe President Hu at first!"
"Indeed. We have to thank President Hu for introducing us to a new supply channel."
"..."
Hearing the tea rchants’ words, Lin Xuecheng’s confidence in Qingfeng Tea grew. He imdiately turned to Lu Feng and said, "Boss Lu, submit the application materials to when you’re ready. The county will help you apply for the intangible cultural heritage project as soon as possible."
He was very proactive about this matter. While a tea-related intangible cultural heritage designation might not have a huge impact in other areas, it was a different story for businesspeople. Many of them, like Hu Quan, loved to brew tea. For these people, the combination of a prestigious designation and a high-quality product was incredibly appealing.
And since his job was to attract investnt, he might very well need to rely on Qingfeng Tea in the future.
"Alright. I’ll have Da Fei prepare the materials and send them over," Lu Feng agreed with a smile. At the sa ti, he made a show of putting his hand in his pocket, retrieving a packet of 2 Qingfeng Tea from his inventory space.
He had previously stored so 2 and 3 tea in his inventory space while at the Qingfeng Tea House—so in whole boxes, so in loose packets from opened boxes—just for such an occasion.
Lu Feng took out the packet of 2 Qingfeng Tea and said to Da Fei, "Da Fei, signing these contracts is a happy occasion. Brew this tea for everyone."
"Alright." Da Fei put the contracts away and imdiately took the tea.
When Lin Xuecheng and Hu Quan saw the packet of tea, their eyes lit up.
They recognized it at a glance as a higher-quality version of Qingfeng Tea.
Hu Quan turned to the tea rchants with anticipation and said, "Gentlen, you’re in for a treat. This is an even better Qingfeng Tea. Even tea that costs over 200,000 yuan a jin isn’t as good as this."
His words imdiately captured the tea rchants’ interest again.
As people in the tea business, they naturally kept so fine teas on hand, but high-end teas weren’t sothing they could get whenever they wanted.
This was especially true for teas in the category of over 200,000 yuan a jin; they were truly rare.
Da Fei quickly brewed a pot of tea and began pouring it for everyone.
The tea rchants eagerly picked up their cups and drank. The 2 aroma, 2 sweet aftertaste, and 2 refreshing effect made them feel revitalized after a single cup, completely captivating them.
"This aroma is truly enchanting," one of the tea rchants couldn’t help but praise.
Another added, "I once acquired a tea that cost 250,000 yuan a jin, and I think it was still slightly inferior to this."
The other tea rchants nodded in agreent.
Drinking this tea again, Lin Xuecheng wore a look of pure bliss. He didn’t forget to promote Lu Feng, saying, "Gentlen, this superior Qingfeng Tea is personally roasted by Boss Lu. You can’t find it anywhere else. It’s one of a kind."
This truly surprised the rchants.
"Boss Lu has this kind of skill?"
"Teas of this caliber can’t be mass-produced on an assembly line! They have to be hand-roasted by skilled old masters!"
"Boss Lu, I don’t suppose you have any extra of this tea?"
At this rchant’s question, the others all looked at Lu Feng with anticipation.
’If Boss Lu has more of this tea, bringing even a little back would be the greatest reward of this trip.’
Of course, Lu Feng had plenty of 2 Qingfeng Tea, but since he had told Lin Xuecheng that he didn’t have much, he couldn’t just pull it out in front of these rchants. He had to maintain the prestige of the 2 Qingfeng Tea.
After all, the quantity of 2 tea at the Qingfeng Tea Headquarters was also limited.
However, he said, "Tea of this quality is very difficult to roast. It has extrely high requirents for the tea leaves themselves. I have to wait for the tea season and find the absolute best young leaves to process. If I can, I can even produce tea of a better quality than this."
He wasn’t exactly lying. He really did have 3 tea, and that was the kind that was truly unforgettable.
Hu Quan was clearly intrigued. "Boss Lu, you can roast tea that’s even better than this?"
Lu Feng nodded with a smile. "Yes. When I have the chance, I’ll have to let President Hu try it."
Hu Quan said hastily, "Then it’s a deal."
When the other tea rchants heard this, they couldn’t help but chi in:
"President Lu, you can’t forget about us, either."
"That’s right! If you really have that kind of tea, you must let us try it too."
"Yes..."
These n were obviously well aware of what level a tea even better than the current Qingfeng Tea would be.
’It would have to be one of the most top-tier teas in existence, right?’
They had no connections to get access to that kind of tea; so had never even tasted it.
It was incredible to think that this Boss Lu could actually roast such a tea.
If this could be confird and the news spread, Boss Lu would beco a household na in the tea industry and the world of tea ceremony.
Lu Feng naturally agreed to all their requests. He would just have to find an opportunity to bring out the 3 tea and invite them all for a tasting.
Since these tea rchants had purchased 9.75 million yuan worth of tea, Lu Feng wasn’t stingy. He had Da Fei arrange for them to be treated at the best restaurant in Youcheng and then put them up in a hotel.
After seeing to his guests, Lu Feng returned ho. To be honest, he still wasn’t used to this kind of socializing. After all, he had spent his whole life working in a factory and had never experienced schmoozing like this.
"Lu Feng, you’re back?" Yang Qingxue’s pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
As soon as Lu Feng walked in, he saw Yang Qingxue chatting with his mom.
After his mom was discharged from the hospital, Yang Qingxue had started coming to their ho to visit her instead.
"Xiaofeng, why don’t you keep Qingxue company," Lin Shuang said upon seeing her son, giving him a hint before retreating to her own room.
Lu Feng imdiately sat down next to Yang Qingxue with a grin, boldly wrapping an arm around her waist. "No work today?"
"It’s my day off," Yang Qingxue nodded.
Lu Feng leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Then you’re staying the night?"
Yang Qingxue imdiately felt his hand begin to wander upwards and shot him a playful glare.
That night, Lu Feng was naturally very happy.
...(details omitted)...
「The next day.」
Lu Feng received a call from Yang Ming. He had finished dealing with the gold jewelry and was back, asking Lu Feng to join him at the tea house for a brew.
When he arrived at the tea house, both Yang Ming and Chen Bo were there.
"Young Master Feng," Chen Bo greeted with his usual smile. "Yang Ming and I were thinking of you the mont we got back, so we wanted to invite you for so tea."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, Chen Bo isn’t wrong."
Lu Feng nodded. He could feel that after working together a few tis, their relationship had clearly beco more familiar, which was evident from their forms of address.
Before, they would call each other Brother Ming or Boss Chen, which was still polite and distant. Things were different now.
After drinking tea for a while, Lu Feng said to Yang Ming, "Cousin, I need more gas canisters. I’ll have to trouble you to get so for again."
"Again?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.
"Yes," Lu Feng nodded.
"Alright, I’ll have soone take care of it." Yang Ming nodded without asking any more questions.
Lu Feng then added, "Cousin, could you also help look into the procedures for opening a gas canister dealership? And... could you also help find soone who knows how to tamper with them?"
’To him, anyone who knew how to rig a gas canister to explode instantly upon ignition was a true talent.’
Yang Ming gave Lu Feng another surprised look.
Hearing this, he knew his cousin would need a lot of gas canisters in the future; otherwise, he wouldn’t be thinking about opening a dealership.
But his cousin didn’t elaborate, so he didn’t ask. Everyone had secrets. As long as his cousin wasn’t in any trouble, he would help arrange everything else.
「Noon.」
Lu Feng had lunch with Yang Ming and Chen Bo.
Afterward, he made a trip to the supermarket, buying a few bags of fruit and several bags of snacks and drinks. He then headed to his rented apartnt, and with a single thought, entered the ga.
Inside the Qingfeng Tea Shop, Lin Jiao and the other three were all present. When they saw him appear, especially with the large and small bags of food and fruit in his hands, they all surrounded him with delighted surprise.
"These are for you," Lu Feng said.
"Thank you, Boss!" Lin Jiao accepted the items with a beaming smile, placed them on the tea table, and grabbed an apple for herself to munch on. She didn’t forget to toss one each to Xu Bin, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao.
Lu Feng asked, "How is it? Any new discoveries?"
Lin Jiao shook her head. "Boss, I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint you this ti. We’ve scouted the six floors below, but we didn’t find any new jewelry stores. To find more, we’ll have to leave this Departnt Store and search outside."
"I see." Lu Feng nodded, not too disappointed. After all, *After the Apocalypse* was an entire ga world, not just this one Departnt Store.
He then gave another order. "In that case, find a way to lure all the zombies on the ground floor into one spot. Make sure to attract the ones outside, too. We need to clear at least one path to leave so we can get out of here smoothly."
Hearing this, Lin Jiao and the other three imdiately nodded in agreent, their faces lighting up with joy.
After being trapped for so long, they could finally leave the Departnt Store. And without the threat of Mutant Beasts, they could use the terrain to their advantage. The task of luring zombies wouldn’t be difficult.
After eating a little more, the four of them left the Qingfeng Tea Headquarters and began their operation.
Before long, a continuous commotion could be heard from the ground floor of the Departnt Store.
Each noise was accompanied by the agitated roars of zombies, and the number of zombies on the ground floor began to swell, becoming a dense, packed crowd.
The zombies outside were also slowly drawn in by the noise.
Half a day passed. Looking down from above, the entire ground floor was now a black sea of zombies. There had to be at least 2,000 of them.
’Now all I need are the gas canisters.’
Otherwise, Lu Feng wouldn’t dare provoke this zombie army.
So, he logged out of the ga.
Yang Ming was highly efficient. That afternoon, Lu Feng received a call from him saying that the gas canisters were ready.
Lu Feng imdiately asked him to have the gas canisters delivered to the apartnt.
