Chapter 204: Weird
"Coming to you?"
"But what kind of tea?"
Don't underestimate the teahouse that gets up in the morning, as a tea culture that has been passed down from the old generation, the teahouse that can be opened on the market street, regardless of its size, has people come to drink tea from the moment it opens.
Some people come to the teahouse for a day.
They're about to make it their second home.
Shao Nianshi came in at this time, and there were more than two guests in the teahouse.
In the large scattered hall on the first floor, there were already two or three tables seated.
Because these tea customers are accustomed to a teahouse, they have come and gone for many years, and basically the friends who appear in this teahouse have a rough idea.
A fresh face like Shao Nianshi, as soon as he appeared in this small teahouse, the guests in those seats couldn't help but take a few more looks.
This Shao Nian didn't care about the eyes of others, just stared at the water sign hanging on the wall of the teahouse.
He only pointed to a pot of green tea and ordered his first order at the Jeseong Teahouse.
Then he took Xiao Liuzi to find a place by the window, sat behind the bamboo curtain with sparse holes, and quietly waited for Xiao Er in the teahouse to make tea for them.
And because the two are too strange, the eyes of others are too focused.
In this small teahouse, the little boy who took the opportunity to sell snacks and dried fruits was a little hesitant, and he didn't know for a while whether he should go up to do Shao Nian's business.
Probably seeing the figure of a little person reflected in the bamboo curtain, Shao Nianshi, who turned his head, smiled, he beckoned to the thin child who was a little cowering, and said, "Come, and see what you can eat?"
With just one sentence, the eyes of this quiet boy lit up.
He answered crisply, hey, carrying the basket and leaning over to Shao Nianshi's table.
Without Shao Nianshi's probe, the kid pulled off the drawer cloth he had covered the basket along the edge of the table.
revealed the six plates that were not big or small, and put all the things he resold in front of Shao Nianshi.
Among them, salt-fried peanuts, sugar-boiled red fruits, roasted chestnuts, dried fruits that have been dried in water, small cold vegetables made of shallots and roasted pig's head and garlic, and a plate of crispy fish tail crisp with layers of slag.
None of these things are uncommon.
But I can't stop this kid from putting the food on each plate very clean and tidy.
The rough rhubarb porcelain plate was set off by the food, and it was a little more clumsy.
Just looking at it, I can feel a taste of three points.
Because drinking tea is not drinking, Shao Nianshi didn't ask for the pig's head meat that was delicious at first glance, but chose two salty side dishes, salt-fried peanuts and salted and unsweetened fishtail crisp.
It can be regarded as letting this kid open the first store when the teahouse has not yet served customers.
The beautiful kid smiled even more, and quoted the price of two plates of side dishes very crisply.
"There are 8 big peanuts in salt, and the fish tail crisp is more expensive, and 20 children are feasible for the guest officer?"
Shao Nian raised his eyebrows lightly, and he did not bargain with these two sons, because this very thrifty boy had inquired about the price of goods as early as when he came to Jicheng.
The price this kid gave was a conscience price.
Only a plate of four fishtail pastry dim sum, if you go to an old dim sum shop like Siwei Zhai to buy it, it will cost you eight children.
Thinking of this, Shao Nianshi took out a blue purse from his sleeve pocket, took out a silver horn from it and handed it to the kid who sold snacks, and ordered: "Go, go to the tea house, I don't have change here, let the boss and you have twenty-eight children." ”
actually paid the money very happily, and before the kid could react, he naturally brought the two plates of snacks to the table, turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hongjitang again.
The kid behind him didn't say anything, Shao Nianshi, who turned his head, was really discovered by him.
Because Shao Nianshi found that as time went by, Hongjitang began to serve customers.
is really as the eldest young master of the first family said, most of the people who come to Hongjitang to buy glue are big families and squires.
How did Shao Nianshi know?
Just look at the way those people dress and behave.
You must know that this Hongjitang is a newly opened shop on Jeseong Street.
I don't know if the seventh master of Lejia was also such a magnificent person when he was in Beiping.
It's just a shop that sells medicines, and it's as luxurious as an antique and treasure silver building.
Its doors are painted vermilion, and its plaques are gilded.
The hall with a wide open interior is paved with a mixture of blue and white bricks and stones, and the counter for sale to the outside is one meter six or seven high, not to mention, all of which are made of whole materials.
The medicine cabinet was lined up, boxes and boxes, and the utensils were all carved with patterns.
Just by looking at the small medicine bottle of white porcelain, celadon, and glass bottle, you can see the value of the medicinal materials inside.
If it was an ordinary person who entered such a shop, let alone let him ask the medicine boy with a comfortable look, I was afraid that his eyes would be frightened immediately, and his face would shrink and retreat the same way.
In these years, no one has the spare money to take the road of this tonic and good medicine.
Only those who can really afford to eat and feel the need to spend the value of it dare to enter the door of Hongjitang frankly.
Because of this, when those few people who were dressed were actually quite ordinary, and there were not even a few people in long robes who came out of the pharmacy, Shao Nianshi took a few more glances through the curtain.
"Huh, what's weird?"
The eyes of the six sons on the side were about to pop out, he only felt that the business of Hongjitang was good, but he didn't see anything strange.
Just when the sixth son looked at Shao Nian and wanted an answer, the eldest brother he admired the most solved his doubts for him.
Shao Nianshi's tone was not high, enough for the two of them to hear it, and the words he said were like a murmur, which was particularly convincing.
"My strange thing is that ejiao is a good nourishment, but this tonic is mainly for women. ”
"The taste is slightly sweet, beauty and nourishment, and it is one of the favorite supplements of the ladies of large families. ”
"The front cabinet of our Chuhetang has also come to buy glue in the past few days. ”
"Look at the people who buy glue, but there are more old mothers and fewer male servants?"
"Even if there is, most of them are errand boys, and they are probably just the little guys in the inner courtyard who need to run errands when the housekeeping is in charge. ”
"Mature men don't enter the inner courtyard, this is a rule left by our ancestors for many years. ”
"Even if Jeseong is a new-school family, I don't see that this rule has been freed. ”
"But what kind of people are the people who entered Hongji Hall to buy medicinal herbs?"
"Although they look at the big family and are at most in charge or something, but if you look closely, their speech and demeanor are like people serving in the inner courtyard?"
