Chapter 175
After the Standing Committee ended, Li Rui originally wanted to say hello to Su Zhiqiang, but after seeing him saying a few words to Ji Faling, he walked into Ji Faling's office together, so he had to give up and pack up his things and walk out of the conference room.
Chen Shiwei caught up from behind, "Is there anything else to do in the afternoon?"
"It's okay, you have something to do?"
"Go and sit!"
"Okay!" Seeing Chen Shiwei's appearance, he probably had something to talk to him, Li Rui agreed readily.
Li Rui sent Ding Junfeng back and got into Chen Shiwei's car. He did not take the driver to drive by himself today. He took Li Rui to a remote alley. A three-story building stood among several green bamboos, with a very elegant charm. A black lacquered plaque with three big words Yuzhuxuan written on it, which was quite appropriate.
This is the first time Li Rui has come to this place. He stood at the entrance of the teahouse and looked around. The surrounding environment is quiet and it is a good place to drink tea and talk about things.
"Newly opened? It's not bad!"
"It's not bad! Let's go in, let's talk about it." Chen Shiwei said with a proud look, as if he was the owner of this teahouse.
There were not many guests drinking tea in the teahouse, and there were only two tables of guests in the lobby on the first floor. Chen Shiwei took out a card and lit up at the waiter who was welcoming the guest, and said, "Yuxuan Hall."
The waiter took them to the third floor, and there was a private room on the entire third floor, and the sign at the door reads Yuxuan Hall. Chen Shiwei sat down and asked, "Where is your boss?"
"Our boss has something to do, what tea do you two gentlemen drink?" The waiter replied, handing the tea list with both hands.
"What tea do you drink?" Chen Shiwei asked.
Li Rui was looking at the decorations in the private room. The layout here was not luxurious, but it was implicit and elegant. The furniture in the Ming and Qing styles, the chairs and stools were equipped with silk-woven cushions and pillows, and the Chinese-style windows, hangings, floor-mounted covers and other decorations on the walls, which were integrated with the overall decoration style with small blue bricks and tiles as the main tone. This is rarely seen such a stylish teahouse, and the overall style is somewhat similar to Li Rui's old house.
"Tieguanyin," Li Rui said casually. In this environment, it would be a different kind of fun to taste a cup of Kung Fu tea.
"How is this place? Is this place okay?" Chen Shiwei asked with a smile after the waiter went out.
"Not bad, it's really good. The decoration here is so meticulous, so the tea must not be wrong. How did you find this place? I think you have VIP cards, are you friends with the boss here?"
"I am a friend, a very special friend." Chen Shiwei said mysteriously, "I will introduce you to her later."
"Okay, I really want to get to know him. This person has a very good taste!" Li Rui nodded.
"Haha, of course the taste is extraordinary." Chen Shiwei grinned and smiled happily, as if Li Rui was praising him.
A young girl wearing a double-breasted Tang suit walked in with a tea set. She first bent down to say hello to the two of them. Her voice was glutinous and nice. When she heard it, she had accent from the southern part of Suhuai Province. Then she placed the tea sets one by one on the table, and then took a small charcoal stove from outside and placed the water on the charcoal stove to burn it. She also introduced: "Sir, tea is a special Tieguanyin, water is mountain spring water, good tea is good water, this is the characteristic of our Yuzhuxuan."
"Oh, is that? Then I'll try it well later." Li Rui said with great interest.
Although the little girl looks ordinary, she is better than thin waist and white skin. She wears a blue Tang suit and has a bit of charm. She first uses tea and takes out an appropriate amount of tea from the tea bin and puts it on the tea appreciation tray for Li Rui to look at it, "Sir, please appreciate the fragrant tea!"
Li Rui looked at the tea leaves. Although he was not proficient, he saw that the tea leaves were plump and round, with a dragonfly head, and a black and oily color. He knew it was a good tea at a glance. The little girl introduced the characteristics of tea in detail.
After a while, the water on the charcoal stove boiled. The little sister picked up the kettle and poured the body of the teapot with boiling water, and introduced it as "Meng Chenglinlin". Then the oolong entered the palace, the pot was rushing high, the spring breeze blew on the face, and the fairy face was washed away... One set after another, Li Rui was dazzled. Although Chen Shiwei was a regular visitor here, he also enjoyed watching it and introduced Li Rui's next move from time to time.
Just as the younger sister said "Respecting Xiangming" to bring the brewed tea to the two of them and asked for a taste, Chen Shiwei's elder brother rang. He answered the phone and said a few words. He sounded like the boss of the teahouse. Finally, he heard him say, "Okay, you can wait, I'll come and pick you up."
Li Rui said in surprise: "Your friend is quite a big name, do you want to answer it yourself?"
"Hehe, you'll know when you see it later." Chen Shiwei stood up with a smile, not even drinking the first one he had just soaked out. "Drink it first, I'll come back soon." He hurried out.
Chen Shiwei was used to being the Tu Emperor of Qingshanquan Town. He usually had a lot of ideas. Except for the main leader of the county party committee, he did not take the general deputy county magistrate seriously. Li Rui was looking forward to it and wanted to see who he was.
He and the little girl who made tea were left in the private room. Li Rui savored the fragrant tea while chatting with the little girl.
"My little sister, she has good skills and the tea she brews is very fragrant!"
"Sir, I've been awarded the prize. The main reason is that the tea is good and the water is good. The tea brewed is naturally good." The younger sister said modestly.
"That's not necessarily true. If you let someone who doesn't understand come to soak it, even if the tea and water are good, it will be ruined." Li Rui laughed and then asked, "Is your teahouse newly opened? Is it good for daily business?"
"It's been a month since I opened it, and the business is OK. It's a little light in the afternoon, and there are still quite a lot of customers coming to the evening."
"Is that true? Who are there in such a remote place?"
"The bosses in business and you are officials." The younger sister replied.
Li Rui was surprised when he heard this and said, "Little sister, how do you know that I am an official? Do I think this is very similar?"
"Well, it's not very similar, it must be." The little girl nodded and said affirmatively.
Li Rui was very interested and continued to ask: "How do you know if the customer is an official or a businessman?"
"The most basic skill in our business is to identify the identity of the guest. As soon as the guest comes in, he can guess it almost exactly." said the younger sister.
"There will always be some characteristics to identify, right?"
"Of course, what is the identity of the guest? First, look at his clothes, second, look at his posture, third, look at his speech, fourth, look at his movements..."
Li Rui became more and more interested. Unexpectedly, an ordinary waiter actually had this knowledge and urged: "Tell me quickly, I will also increase my knowledge."
There is only one customer, and the little sister doesn't have to be busy making tea. At the same time, she probably also looked at Li Rui's eyes and opened her mouth and said, "As the saying goes, 'Respect the clothes first and then respect people.' Clothes can best reflect a person's identity and taste. When looking at a person's profession, you have to look at the clothes. There are basically only two types of people who come to us to drink tea, one is businessman, and the other is an official. The gentleman probably didn't look at the tea list here just now. In fact, the tea list here is very expensive. For example, the special Tieguanyin you ordered costs 200 yuan a pot, which is difficult for ordinary people to afford. At the beginning, many people came in to check the tea list and left because it was too expensive! Those rich bosses, even though they were all famous brands, they always felt awkward to wear it on their bodies..."
"Why?"
"Haha, to be offensive, don't you see that although they look bright, they still don't get rid of the vulgarity of merchants in their bones? Playing with elegance requires from the inside out. It is an inner temperament manifestation. Foreigners are called nobles, hereditary blood, and natural nobility. Talents like you, don't matter what you wear, because you can see the extraordinary inner self with every move."
Oh! This little girl has a very unusual conversation and is quite good at talking. Li Rui smiled and joked: "You're so confused today. I came from the countryside and I'm just a poor boy."
"What are you lying to us? Although the sir is young, he must be very generous in the officialdom."
"What basis do you have?"
"Sir, please stop lying to me and tease me anymore."
Li Rui agreed with a smile, and the little sister filled his cup with tea again and continued, "You came with Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is our boss's friend or the secretary of a town here. But I could see just now that Secretary Chen seems to be very flattering to you, so you will naturally know what your identity is."
"Hahaha... It turns out that you guessed me from someone else's identity. I was complacent just now, thinking that it was really temperamental and noble blood like you said." The little girl observed it very carefully and spoke very interestingly, Li Rui said with a smile.
"Of course, I'm sincere in saying this. Look at you, you are so majestic, you are not an ordinary person." As she said that, she looked up and looked at Li Rui carefully. Seeing that he was also looking at him with a smile on his face, a faint blush appeared on his white face, and he quickly lowered his head.
"Little sister, you are really good at speaking. Are you a noble surname?"
"Don't let your surname Luo, sir, please call me Xiao Luo."
"Oh, Ronaldo, you continue."
"Businessmen are best to identify, they speak rudely, have a strong secular spirit, are stingy, and have to pretend to be particularly generous on the surface, but when paying, you must look carefully at the order, as if we have to calculate more."
"Hahaha...well, you're very careful in observing."
"I've been in a long time and I've seen more. I've worked in a teahouse in Jiangning for two years, and I'm also a teahouse of this level."
"No wonder the craftsmanship is so great. Tell me what's special about the officials."
"The officials who come here are divided into two categories. One is the one with a very official spirit. This kind of people are domineering and arrogant. Generally, the bosses accompany them are the bosses. The other is much low-key. Some of them come together are like him, all of them are cadres, and the bosses accompany them. They speak kindly and are very polite to us, but they rarely ask us to serve from scratch. Generally, after reading the process, we come out. They mainly come to talk about things."
