Chapter 215: Order the best tea

Mrs. Tang may not be so broad-minded. She said to the peddler with a stern face: "I will pay for my candy man myself." After that, she took out the money from her waist, but she had to compete with the woman.

The woman said sarcastically: "Mrs. Tang, you are not well-off. I'll treat you to eat. If you pick it up, it's all neighbors, so what's wrong with you?"

"Cough cough..." Chen Ao coughed twice, smiled and said meaningfully: "Aunt, Mrs. Yang is right. This candy man is not a valuable thing. Since it is Mrs. Yang's kindness, she can't always refute her face."

The woman was called Mrs. Yang. I thought Chen Ao was looking at her when I heard Chen Ao's words, but when I chewed, I felt something was wrong. What does it mean to be a valuable thing?

Mrs. Tang first came over and smiled: "Okay, Mrs. Yang is so kind, I'm not polite."

With this little episode, the women realized that this arrogance was not simple, and the silly nerd looks were all pretending.

Mrs. Yang was even more angry. She paid for it herself, but she didn't buy it. She deliberately said to Chen Ao: "Where is Mr. Chen?"

Chen Ao thought about it and his hometown in his previous life was in Jiangxi, and then said, "I am from Hongzhou."

"Hongzhou?" Mrs. Yang curled her lips: "I haven't heard of it."

Chen Ao just smiled faintly, and Mrs. Tang came over to relieve the siege and said, "This is you ignorant. Isn't there a rope golden tower in Hongzhou?"

Mrs. Yang got together and thought to herself with anger that Mrs. Tang and the man surnamed Chen actually joined forces to bully her! Then she laughed deliberately: "Oh, I remember, Mr. Chen, are your parents still there?"

Chen Ao was an orphan in his previous life, and when he arrived, he was alone, and said sadly: "We have all died."

Mrs. Yang said, "When my parents are gone, I should save some money. It is better to do some business than to study. Look at the peddler, you can earn at least 200 cents a day. Don't be careful, your family is probably more wealthy than Mrs. Tang."

Mrs. Tang bit her lip and wanted to refute it, but she was pulled by Tang Moer, and finally swallowed her breath.

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Mrs. Yang is right. Two hundred liters a day, and even if students dream, they can't make so much."

Mrs. Yang listened and showed some pride and continued, "That's it. Therefore, when you are a human being, you must put down your airs and do not hold it on, otherwise you will be poor and you will be afraid that you will not be able to get a dowry if you marry a daughter."

"This woman's mouth is mean enough!" Chen Ao couldn't help but thinks that he didn't want to continue saying to Mrs. Yang. These harsh words were like a knife, and they were about to pierce Mrs. Tang's heart.

A few people passed by a tea shop, but it was a new shop. Chen Ao went to see the tea flag, which read the four big words Suiya Tea House. He understood in his heart that this was one of the several branches that Wu Saner had recently opened. It happened to be in the downtown area, not far from the temple fair, and there were a lot of people. It was a good place to open a tea shop.

Chen Ao said quietly: "It's just spring, and the weather is a little hot. I'm afraid this temple fair is still early, so we might as well go and have a sip of tea first."

Mrs. Tang smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to drink tea at home? Why do you need to go to the tea shop to spend money?"

Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but think, could this man named Chen just ate her candy, and now she wants to teach her to treat him to tea? Please do this, and humiliate the nerd while drinking tea. Mrs. Yang had an idea in her mind and said with a smile: "I'm a little thirsty, why don't we go in and sit there, Mrs. Tang, don't worry, you don't have to waste your money."

Mrs. Tang had a stern face but didn't say anything. When everyone went in, the lobby was full, and the business was pretty good. Mrs. Yang said, "This Suiya Tea House is a new store, but the way it came from is quite large. Mrs. Chen, have you heard of Suiya Mountain House?"

Chen Ao looked confused and said in surprise: "What is Suiya Mountain House?"

Mrs. Yang looked at Chen Ao with contempt, but said happily: "This Sui Yashan House is the best tea house in Bianjing City. There are three or four stores, and the price is one of the best in the entire Bianjing City. Those who can come here to drink tea are either high-ranking officials or talented men and handsome men. Even if they are not good, they are all wealthy families in their families. It is said that this Sui Yashan House has something to do with the palace."

Has something to do with the palace? Chen Ao couldn't help but say in his heart, why didn't I know!

Seeing him in a daze, Mrs. Yang continued to smile and said, "The main store of this tea shop is still written by the official, saying that Suiya Mountain House is a good tea shop. Look, even the official family says this, how can this business not be popular? Together with such a lot of businesses, the owner of the mountain house can earn at least 50,000 yuan a year. Such a big business is not something that ordinary people can do."

Mrs. Yang boasted about Suiyashanfang, and thought it was very decent for him to invite everyone to come here for tea, so of course she had to brag about it. Several ladies next to her said, "In this way, isn't the tea here expensive?"

Mrs. Yang said: "This is naturally. Here, the lowest tea costs five cents. If you serve pastries again, you will be embarrassed to enter the store without thirty cents."

Everyone sighed, thirty cents are enough to buy two kilograms of pork and a few liters of rice. It is such a luxury to come here just to drink a sip of tea.

Mrs. Yang strided forward with her head held high, and a friend came over with a smile and said, "My guest, don't know what tea you want to eat? We have Lushan Yunwu, Huangshan Yipin, Qingfeng thin leaves, and Huainan tender tip..." He claimed more than a dozen kinds of tea names in one breath. In fact, some of these teas are famous teas, while others are named by Chen Ao. Tea is very important. Good teas and good names are generally sold more popular.

Mrs. Yang looked at the plaque on the wall. The tea shop was clean and transparent, and the furniture was more reasonable. On the wall, dozens of pastries, tea and names were recorded on a vermilion plaque, and the prices were written on it. In this way, tea shoppers could directly order tea and pastries according to their consumption capacity.

When Mrs. Yang saw the tea that cost hundreds of cents of money, she couldn't help but be amazed. She kept looking down and finally stopped in front of the four words "Huainan Nengjian". This "Huainan Nengjian" only takes twenty cents a pot. It is enough for these people to add up two pots in total. You can order a few more pastries, and the price can be controlled within a hundred cents. If there are more, Mrs. Yang is worried that she will not be able to pay the bill.

Mrs. Yang was about to tell the waiter that she had two pots of Huainan Tingjian, but Chen Ao said behind her: "What is the name of the clouds and mist in Lushan?"

Xiao Er said with a smile: "The guest officials have good eyesight. The Lushan Yunwu is the most famous tea in our store. This tea is produced in Lushan Mountain in the Nankang Army, where monks gather, climb dangerous rocks and fly over the springs. They even pick wild tea to satisfy their hunger and thirst. The temples cut rocks and cut valleys deep in the white clouds, plant tea trees and roast tea leaves. Because this tea tree grows in the mountains and clouds, it is called Yunwu Tea. Bai Juyi, a great poet of the previous dynasty, once built a cottage on Xianglu Peak in Lushan. He personally opened a tea garden to grow tea, and left several tea poems. The most elegant thing is that in this dynasty, the Lushan Yunwu is now listed as "tribute tea". Every spring, a servant from the worship office will pick tea and send it to the palace."

Nankangjun was called Jiujiang in later generations. Chen Ao couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "The clouds and mists of Mount Lu are not far from my hometown. Well, I'll just have two pots of Lushan Yunwu and a few more dishes of pastries. But there are no seats in this hall. Are there any private rooms upstairs?"

The waiter said: "There are some wing rooms upstairs, but there are 50 cents extra. There are several wing rooms facing the temple fair. From there, you can see that the temple fair is the most open and you need to add 100 cents."

Chen Ao said, "Then you want another room with a 100-liter wing." After pausing for a moment, he continued to the waiter casually: "Please lead the way!"

The waiter immediately responded with a smile and led everyone upstairs first. Mrs. Yang's face was already like a rustle. She glanced at the price of Yunwu in Lushan, but she asked for five hundred ciders per pot, and two ciders were the same. In addition, the pastries and the wing room, it was probably more than two ciders.

Two guan is a big sum, and ordinary people only have this little wage a month. Although Mrs. Yang's family is quite wealthy, she can afford it. What's more, even if she gritted her teeth and invited a guest this time, she didn't bring so much money! It should be noted that two guan is two thousand cigarettes, and two thousand copper coins weigh several pounds. An ordinary woman's family just came to a temple fair, but she had to bring so much money for?

Mrs. Yang's face looked a little blue, but she refused to show weakness. However, when she thought of the embarrassment of paying the bills later, she was already nervous. Looking at the pretendingly generous Chen Ao, she couldn't help but think, this person named Chen is really slippery, is he deliberately trying to embarrass her?

The waiter took everyone to a teahouse in the wing room. The wing room was very distinctive, with small lattice doors and small lattice windows opening in a row, facing the temple fair. Most of the walls were antique racks made of lattice, with some ceramic crock pots placed on them. In the middle of the private room, there was a long square pear blossom table with six chairs made of yellow blossoms around the square table, making the whole room full of ancient style.

It is very clean and spotless. A row of paper windows open, and the warm sunshine is falling from outside, making the entire teahouse look indescribable.

The waiter smiled and said, "Young Master, ladies, please wait a moment. The younger one will bring the tea and pastries immediately. If you have any instructions, just shake the rope and someone will come to serve."

When everyone saw that it was from the beam of the house, there was a long rope hanging down. As long as the rope was shaken, the rope was connected to the back hall. There was a bell hanging on the other end. When the bell rang, the errands knew that the guests were calling. Although this design was simple, it was exquisite and convenient and practical. When the guests needed it, they no longer had to look for people everywhere.

Looking from the window here, you can see the temple fair at the corner of the street in the distance. There is a large temple that is six or seven meters high, three floors on the bright side and three floors on the dark side. It looks majestic and magnificent. The square in front of the temple is even more crowded with people, peddlers shuttle through the crowd, various artists perform acrobatics, ride on a roller coaster, rigging poles, and sucking knives. It is very lively. Countless people are crowded with each other, and the shouts of each other can even be heard from the teahouse.

I'm afraid that the living god has not arrived yet, so the order on the street is quite disordered. Chen Ao was not in a hurry anyway, so he thought of drinking a little tea first and then seeing what the living god has to convince people.

When the waiter left, everyone sat down with a little guilty feeling. They had never drunk such expensive tea before, but Chen Ao looked calm and spoke to Tang Moer in a low voice. Seeing that Mrs. Yang was secretly resentful, but after being resentful, she felt quite nervous. What should she do if she couldn't pay the bill later? She just praised Haikou. If she couldn't take out the money, she was afraid that she would be ridiculed. Besides, how could the store give up easily? She didn't know what bad luck she had left today, but she actually encountered such a thing.

Soon, the tea and pastries were brought up. The teapot was hot, and Chen Ao's nose twitched. He could already smell the strong aroma of tea at the tip of his nose. He smiled and said, "I am a junior, and I should be the one who poured tea for you ladies."

As he said that, Chen Ao stood up and poured tea for everyone one by one with a teapot. In fact, if he talked about tea tasting, he was a little more proficient. However, these skills of tea tasting naturally could not show off in front of women. It was not Chen Ao and arrogance. However, this kind of thing should be discussed with people who know how to drink tea. Therefore, he would never show off his appearance.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Chen Ao, look at you who are so familiar with it, but you are like a regular here."

Chen Ao hurriedly said: "Today I just asked Mrs. Yang for Hong Fu. The student is a thick-skinned, so he seems a little familiar with his aunt."
