Rock Bone Tea King

In the third year of Yongle, the Lin family, a centuries-old tea merchant in Wuyi Mountain, was in disaster due to a batch of tribute tea that became "mildew". The head of the family, Lin Zhengde, was so angry that he passed away, leaving behind his 20-year-old eldest son Lin Yanzhou, who was surrounded by jackals and wolves. His second uncle forced the palace to seize power, Huizhou merchants took advantage of the situation, and the officialdom settled scores. In a desperate situation, Lin Yanzhou awakened his ancestral ability to "know the mountain by looking at the leaves": starting with a piece of tea, you can sense the charm of the mountain, the age of the tree, and the flaws in the craftsmanship. He went to Yongle Zen Temple alone, received enlightenment from Master Jingkong, and understood the true meaning of "Rock Bone Flower Fragrance"; he circled between officialdom and shopping malls, used the secret method of "Three Fires" to reshape rock tea craftsmanship, and stabilized the clan with the policy of "divide the property without dividing the family"; he also guarded the Dahongpao Mother Tree under the Kowloon Nest, making this Buddhist sacred object the root of the rise of the Lin family. From a humble tea house on the verge of bankruptcy to a business giant who controls the tea industry in northern Fujian; from a playboy despised by his tribe to a generation of imperial businessmen who cook tea in front of the emperor. Lin Yanzhou uses tea as his sword to keep the bottom line in the clan strife: clansmen can fight for power, but cannot harm each other. In commercial competition, he repeatedly resorts to ingenious schemes: price wars, tea fights, tribute tea selection, maritime trade routes, and survives every desperate situation. When Zheng He's treasure ship sailed to the west, the Lin family's "Rock Bone Heavenly Fragrance" traveled across the sea with the tea leaves; when the bells of Yongle Temple echoed in the valley, the six mother trees sprouted new buds, witnessing the legend of an Eastern tea king. This is not a simple revenge novel, but a story about inheritance, pattern and ingenuity.
