In the Great Song Dynasty, there was a tea house opened by a veteran on a slightly remote commercial street in Pingyuan City, Central Plains Province, with a special name, called Maker Tea House.

The tea house is two floors, each floor occupies three rooms, there are not too many seats, but there are not too many guests, it is generally enough, the light in the house is good, and it is relatively quiet. After dinner, drink a bowl of tea in the tea house, chatter, read books, and play chess, which is a rare quiet place among the neon flashes.

On this day, the owner of the tea house led a young man to the store, pointed to the tea house and said: "Xiaobin, if you retire from the army, you will be discharged from the army, it's not a big deal." There are still a few hurdles in life, and it is still wonderful to change the way of life. You just got out of the army, and you haven't figured out what to do, so you can take care of this tea house for your father. It's better to do something than to be idle at home. ”

"Yes. The young man replied softly.

"This tea house usually has a good business. I'm telling you, you're going to do this ......."

"Okay Dad, don't be verbose. What's so hard about running a teahouse? This tea house is still the name I gave. Have you sold out of your 200 catties of tea?"

The boss immediately wilted when he heard this, and muttered casually: "Okay, we don't expect this to make money anyway." You just have to have fun. Take a look for yourself, someone is coming to make a cup of tea. I'm going to go to Lao Li to play two rounds of mahjong. ”

"Okay, let's go. The young man waved his hand and walked around on crutches to see the layout of the tea house.

The young man's name is Qi Binxuan, who joined the army after graduating from college, served in a special forces, served in a special forces for a year and a half, and was injured in the knee by a bullet in a hijacking incident, and was unable to move, so he retired from the army. Now I am recovering and can move freely on crutches.

The entrance door on the first floor of the tea house is a screen, around the side of the screen is a counter, and the rest of the place is also scattered with some tables and chairs, and the walls are painted with white paint. There is a hollow in the middle of the second floor to see the first floor, where some tables and chairs are placed for guests to drink tea, and there are also two guest rooms for the staff to rest.

"It's really not very special. Qi Binxuan shook his head and sighed: "This second floor is not easy to go up, do I want to install an elevator? But you have to clean up, hey, do you want to hire no more waiters?"

Qi Binxuan detoured behind the counter, and saw several tea cans in a row, and he was happy when he saw the label, all of them were Tieguanyin, and the price was the same, it seems that this tea house really only has this kind of tea. Qi Binxuan couldn't help but think of the reason why his father opened a tea house.

It was when I graduated from college, and I was influenced by my father's veterans to enlist in the army. Qi Binxuan, who was still a recruit at the time, answered the phone when he was putting his luggage: "Hey, Dad, I'm at the place where I reported, don't worry about it, I'm not a child anymore." ”

"Bin Xuan, I didn't specifically ask where you were, I wanted to ask you something, and of course I didn't care about you. ”

"Okay Dad, you pick up the key points. I'll have to attend an orientation party later. ”

"Okay, that's right. I'm going to open a teahouse, what do you think of the name, what is the name of the veteran's teahouse?"

"Dizzy, what are you going to toss again, why do you want to make a teahouse again. The name of the veteran's teahouse is not good, you will become a certain group of people in this way, and other people will not come. As for the veterans, there are a few who go to drink tea, and they are all masters who drink wine and eat meat in large bowls. Why don't you open a veteran's restaurant, or a veteran's bar? ”

"That's not going to work, it has to be a teahouse. ”

"Why?" Qi Binxuan asked suspiciously.

"That's the case, didn't your grandfather go to the health care product pharmacy to sit on a massage chair a while ago, and people there always sell it, I'm afraid that he will spend money indiscriminately, and the key things are useless, so I won't let him go." He said that he went there mainly to chat, who asked us not to accompany him. So I taught him how to chat online. As a result, when your grandfather was chatting with people on the Internet, he met a tea seller who sold it to your grandfather for 200 catties of Tieguanyin for 10,000 yuan. ”

"What, how much?" Qi Binxuan was shocked.

"Two hundred pounds. ”

"How are there so many. ”

"Originally, there weren't so many, but when we first talked about it, it was 10,000 yuan and two catties of the best Tieguanyin, fidelity, if it wasn't the best fake, one would lose 100. Who knew that when it was sent, it would become two hundred catties of ordinary Tieguanyin. ”

"Then you return it. ”

"Your grandfather won't let him quit, saying that he has been chatting for three or four days, and he is a mature person, so he is embarrassed to quit. And people didn't lie, they all sent two hundred catties, and they really paid one hundred for a fake. Your grandfather also said that it was to cost his retirement salary, let me leave it alone, anyway, the tea is not bad, he drinks tea with a group of old men and old ladies. But do you think I can care, two hundred catties, rely on a few of them to drink until the Year of the Monkey. I thought about it and just opened a teahouse. ”

"Hey, okay then. But don't call it a teahouse, it's popular to call it a tea house now. Also, it's really not good for you to call the veteran tea house. I know you have a military complex, but you can't just rely on your comrades to support this business. In this case, you can call it the Maker Tea Society. Innovation is a creation, a guest is a guest. ”

"That's not good, this maker is a young man who made things when he hears it. I'm old, but I can't pursue fashion like you are young. ”

"It's not a popular element for young people, and I tell you, it's allegorical. You know that in ancient times, all the people who broke into the rivers and lakes were swordsmen and swordsmen. What I mean by this is the meaning of intruders, daring to fight, daring to fight. But isn't our national culture subtle and modest, so it has a homophonic maker. ”

"Maker, yes, sounds interesting. College students are different, they are educated. Just listen to you, it's called the Maker Tea House. You have to do a good job in the army, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, no matter what Lao Tzu says, it's ......"

"Got it, have you ever received a third-class merit? How many times have you said it. I'm also a college student, and I belong to high-end talents, so I have to be better than you. ”

"Okay, I'm always nagging, if I don't know what you dislike when I'm the same age as your grandfather. That's it, work hard, when you will be discharged from the army, this maker tea house will be yours. Lao Tzu, this is a family business for you. ”

"Okay, okay, got it. It's hanging. Qi Binxuan hung up the phone, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and whispered: "Grandpa is mighty!"

Qi Binxuan thinks about it now, and when he hung up the phone, he vaguely remembered that there were people next to him who commented, just like this serious nonsense. Hey, what a black history.

Qi Binxuan saw that the table was a little dirty, went to find a rag to wash and began to wipe the table. I thought to myself, I don't know what the business of this tea house is like now. Sure enough, people don't think about it anymore when they are busy, and now they forget about their leg injuries, and the depression in their hearts has dissipated a lot.

Suddenly, the door was pushed in, and three fashionably dressed young women entered.

After the three of them came, they didn't say a word, walked up to Qi Binxuan and looked at him directly, and then one of them turned on his mobile phone and put on a song. This is a very popular piece of music recently, the song is called Elysium, and the rhythm is upbeat. The three women also imitated the original dance.

I have to say that the three of them still have a certain level, the waist is like a flowing wind, the water sleeves are like lotus roots, the dance steps are cheerful, casual and free, wearing flowers and butterflies are deeply seen, and the dragonflies are flying, which is very youthful and energetic. This is not an ordinary temptation for a young man who has just been discharged from the army. However, Qi Binxuan felt inexplicable, what's wrong, I just became the boss and had an affair?

The three of them were sweating profusely, staring at Qi Binxuan for a long time, and Qi Binxuan also looked at the three of them inexplicably. The four of them looked at each other for a long time, and finally a woman couldn't bear it anymore and broke the silence with a voice.

"What the hell, give me a word. ”

"Well, this, the dance is good, the dance is flamboyant and rhythmic. Well, this is the beginning, when you cross each other, the heels of both feet are out of the ground at the same time, and then the forefoot force the heel to rotate inward, this set of movements is very handsome. ”

"That's a butterfly step. ”

"Even, there is a name, it's not bad, it's much more upscale when you call it. Qi Binxuan said, seeing that the three women's faces were not good, he hurriedly said: "When you are dancing butterfly steps, your two hands are changing here, at first one hand is raised to the same height as your face, and your palm is up, which should be born from the action of serving dishes in restaurants in ancient times." But with your butterfly steps, this hand keeps changing, and this plate must not be broken. I see you just holding the plate in one hand and not moving, dancing here with both feet, and swaying gently with the other hand, waving your handkerchief while walking, I think this dance will be more charming and closer to life. ”

The three women were stunned for a moment, and the other woman suddenly said, "Then you are exempt?"

"What's free?" Qi Binxuan was also stunned.

"It's free tea!" At first, the woman also reacted, looking at this man's face, but there was only one person in the room, thinking that he could also call the shots, after all, there are often people in this tea house who come to help, and not all of them know each other. Who knew that this was really a novice, and they didn't even know the rules, so didn't they jump for nothing?

The woman was anxious, so she explained: "The rules of the tea house, 'Shock the boss, drink tea for free', have been around for about a long time since it opened, and it has continued." You don't know the rules, do you?"

When it came to "shocking the boss and drinking tea for free", Qi Binxuan suddenly thought of one thing. It was about a month after he joined the army, and he received a call from his father, who complained that business was not good and there were not many people. So he came up with an idea, that is, "shock the boss and drink tea for free".

"You ask them to tell a story about their own experiences, or show some of their proud work and achievements. As long as it shocks you, give them a free pot of tea. ”

"Then I won't lose money?" Qi's father complained.

"What's the loss? Isn't your tea just a few cents of tea leaves and a pot of boiled water? Let them drink it openly, and they can drink a few cents of water in a strong cup? But if they drink tea with you and order a few snacks or something, won't they be able to take care of your business?"

As for the specific idea, Qi's father didn't mention it again when he called later, Qi Binxuan was busy with the army, so he forgot about it and didn't ask. It seems that this creative effect is okay, and it has been going on.

"Ah, I forgot about this rule. It stands to reason that your dancing is good, but it doesn't shock me. But who made me the boss on the first day, take a good omen, and I'll give you a free order. Qi Binxuan suddenly realized, so he hurriedly remedied.
