When everyone arrives, the play starts.

Ouyang Kang always felt that his father-in-law couldn't see it, but when those eyes swept over, they were three points brighter than those with bright eyes.

Maybe it's a one-size-fits-all way, anyway, Ouyang Dashao can understand his daughter-in-law's autumn waves, and he can't understand his father-in-law's eyes.

Mu Shaoqin handed it over, and he immediately got busy before and after the saddle, and had a chat with Ji Longfeng and those big tea merchants, putting on a businessman's face and talking about business.

The three tea merchants took out more than 20 tea leaves of different specifications and grades according to their usual business appearance, ordered people to brew them one by one, and sent them to Mu Shaoqin, and after they tasted them, they decided whether to buy them or not, and how much to buy.

To be honest, Ouyang Kang couldn't make such a detailed difference except for the general advantages and disadvantages, so he simply shut up. However, Ji Longfeng, who claims to not understand tea, has said some ways.

"Although I can't taste good or bad, but fortunately, the nose is okay, the tea leaves say that spring water and autumn fragrance, then these light ones should be spring tea, and those few fragrant ones should be autumn tea, right?"

Several tea merchants nodded again and again when they heard this, "Master Long really has good eyesight, that's exactly the case." ”

Unexpectedly, Mu Shaoqin smiled indifferently, his slender and white fingers were lightly raised, and he accurately picked up a cup of tea that was classified as spring tea by Ji Longfeng, "A few bosses are not kind, this is clearly the autumn tea two years ago, because of the fragrance, it was used to pass off as spring tea, but is it a test for us?" ”

The tea merchant who provided the cup of tea suddenly changed color, because Mu Shaoqin claimed to be surnamed Shao, so he said, "Master Shao, how can you say that?" We make tea. How can there be such insincerity? ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled slightly, put down the cup of tea gently, "Do the bosses really want me to say it?" ”

His gaze swept over the tea merchants as if they were substance, and the three tea merchants were all in one place, and suddenly he felt a chill all over his body.

Mu Shaoqin didn't entangle with them, but suddenly asked the onlookers, "May I ask if there was a lot of rain in the summer here two years ago?" It should still be a torrential rain, right? ”

An old man in his fifties was surprised, "How does the uncle know?" Two years ago in the summer, we had a torrential rainstorm here for two days and two nights. Although it did not cause a catastrophe. But at that time, a lot of fields and crops were destroyed. ”

Mu Shaoqin chuckled, "No wonder, this cup of autumn tea is not fragrant enough, and it carries the heat of summer rain." Actually, the cellar is right. But it shouldn't be that way. Let's not talk about the raw waste of tea. It also ruined the reputation. ”

Several tea merchants looked at each other, some unable to sit still.

Every industry will have some unspoken rules, such as when there is too much spring tea production in a certain year. On the contrary, they will collectively reluctant to sell, coax up the high prices of previous years, and then sell them slowly.

When the rain affects the quality of autumn tea, they will use the lack of production as an excuse to pick some top-notch ones to sell at a high price, and then smoke the remaining tea leaves, increase the fragrance and then shoddy, or cellar, and wait for the taste to be light, and then sell as spring tea.

In short, there are all kinds of things, and we must make the best use of them.

And because of the similar taste of tea, very few people can taste these subtle differences, because they have been doing it for a long time, and even they are almost forgotten, and there are these loopholes.

A tea merchant stood up and said, "Master Shao, what proof do you have for this?" If not, wouldn't it be an insult to our entire Xianyuan Mountain? ”

The hat buttoned up quite wide. But it came just in time!

Ouyang Kang snorted lightly, slapped his palms lightly, and Tong Chaoyi immediately led someone to carry out a large box from behind.

The box was opened, and it contained all kinds of tea leaves from the shops under the names of the three tea merchants. There are not many of them, just a box of two taels, but they all have the logos of the three shops, and the accounts that the store showed when they bought it, which can never be denied.

Ouyang Kang smiled a little sinisterly, "A few bosses, I am a person who doesn't understand tea, but my father-in-law loves tea. I heard that you Xianyuan produces good tea, and I, as a son-in-law, naturally have to do my filial piety and buy some good tea for him to taste. But unexpectedly, none of the tea I bought in your entire Xianyuan could enter my father-in-law's eyes, and there were many shoddy fakes. Fortunately, my father-in-law is magnanimous and doesn't care about my recklessness, but aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the entire Xianyuan Mountain by acting like this? ”

This is the strategy that Ouyang Kang thought of before, if the Lingzhou officials are determined to corrupt to the end, then he will simply ruin the reputation of the entire Lingzhou tea!

This tea tax can't go to the emperor's place, and it can't kill you.

As for the practice, that's too easy. framed and spread rumors, anyway, Ouyang Kang has the emperor's Shang Fang sword to support him, and he believes that even if the emperor knows, he will acquiesce.

Waiting for this chain of interests to be completely broken, and then cleaned up again, the emperor will be able to grasp the initiative, and the problem of tea tax will be solved.

However, this method is good, but it is too ruthless, and Mu Shaoqin does not agree.

As a veteran tea friend, he decided to help his son-in-law with this blow in a more gentle and elegant way.

So at this time, everyone present saw him smiling lightly with a noble face, "My son-in-law is young, frizzy, and anxious." I only knew that I loved tea, so I pulled a room back regardless of it. Of course, he said that you don't have good tea in the entire Xianyuan Mountain, which is too arbitrary. However, there are some teas here that really don't quite stand on the table. ”

After a slight pause, he smiled more modestly, "Don't think I'm talking too straight, although I haven't been drinking tea for a long time, but relying on the kindness of my ancestors, I have tasted a few good teas." If you are not convinced, will you fight with me? If you lose, our son-in-law will naturally make amends to you. ”

The faces of the three big tea merchants changed, and even the faces of the onlookers changed.

It is indeed difficult to have a clear proof of the quality of tea, so at this time, the words of experts are very important. And how to reflect the value of experts?

Tea fighting is undoubtedly the most intuitive and simple competition in the tea ceremony.

Mu Shaoqin said modestly on the surface, if he lost, he would take back his words and admit his mistake to Xianyuan Mountain. But what if he wins? Do you want the reputation of the entire Xianyuan Mountain? What will happen to these thousands of people who depend on tea for their lives?

Ji Longfeng made up his mind, these two sons-in-law are not good things! However, he also had to admit that this trick was really ruthless and beautiful enough.

As for Mu Shaoqin, dare to propose to fight tea with others, how bad can the level go?

Just seeing him put out the set of silver rabbit teacups, the onlookers were in an uproar.

Look at him lightly and take out a box of tea leaves with goose yellow notes, I don't care at all to let people see that this is a royal thing, and then elegantly and freely brew out a cup of excellent tea, easily reach the highest level of white soup and bright soup flowers, who dares to come forward to fight him? Who would dare to force him to retract his previous words?

The three tea merchants sat there with pale faces, cold sweat pouring from their foreheads.

The master has made a move, and he doesn't need to be bloody at all, just a smile, and he can kill the enemy invisibly.

The reputation of Xianyuan mountain tea is completely ruined.

This Danlu Peak is not high, Nianfu mother and daughter can't climb for a while, they have already reached the top, play on the top of the mountain for a while, pull out weeds and wildflowers, and weave a pair of rings down.

Nian Fuxing rushed to knit himself into the bracelet and gave it to Ouyang Kang, "Look, I made it up, it looks good, right?" Let's take one at a time. ”

Hui Niang was not reserved, and gave her own weaving to Mu Shaoqin to wear on her left hand, "You smell it, it's fragrant!" ”

Ouyang Kang looked at his mother-in-law's delicately knitted, simple and generous bracelet, and then looked at the rough and loose bracelet on his hand, but decorated with wild flowers, and whispered in his daughter-in-law's ear, "You are much more beautiful than your mother!" ”

Count yourself on for having a vision! The little daughter-in-law was triumphant, "Have you finished talking?" Let's go back to eating after we talk, I'm hungry. ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled dotingly, "Let's go." ”

He took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Hui Niang, and brought the cup of tea he had just brewed to her, praising him silently.

Hui Niang took the silk handkerchief and wiped her sweat with satisfaction, and drank the cup of tea again, "Let's go." A few masters, say goodbye, let's go to the restaurant today and find something delicious. ”

Okay, okay, Nianfu actively agreed, "I want to eat dessert, see if there is anything good here, and I didn't turn around and let Ah Yao cook a pot of sweet soup." ”

……

Mu Shaoqin suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile, "Mr. Long, do you want to go together?" ”

Ji Longfeng smiled a little far-fetched, "No need, you family can do your own thing." Today, I can see Mr. Shao's tea art, which is also a blessing for three lives. ”

Mu Shaoqin bowed his head indifferently, turned around and left.

Just because he's blind doesn't mean he doesn't even feel that other men covet his wife. But he's not going to give him that chance, absolutely not!

In the evening of the same day, before it was dark, the matter of Danlu Peak tea fighting had already spread throughout Xianyuan Mountain.

Chai Rong, who had just come to Xianyuan Town, had not even bothered to wash off his body before he heard this not very good news.

"Stupid!" Chai Rong was so angry that he wanted to smoke the table, "Since you knew that he was King Ping, you guys are still stupid to fall into this trap!" It's good now, if you can't find someone who can fight him, how will it end? ”

Lingzhou's tea business accounts for nearly 20% of the Chai family's business, which is a very important branch line for their huge business. Especially this tea business is both light and easy to make money, if it is broken like this, it is really distressing.

And more importantly, Chai Rong saw from this incident that the emperor wanted to rectify the intentions of taxation.

If the Lingzhou tea tax is really done by him, then next, the emperor will definitely gradually clean up the taxes in the same way. And the Chai family took advantage of the troubled times to open up all the business lines, but I am afraid that they will be lost, so for the Chai family, the loss is too great. So no matter what, he must not be allowed to succeed!

The magistrate of Xianyuan Mountain had already changed into civilian clothes and came over to meet him, and said with a sad face, "...... King Ping showed such a hand, and no one in the entire Xianyuan Mountain dared to come to fight with him. Chai Gongzi, you should go outside and invite a master. Otherwise, if King Ping leaves, this stigma will never be washed away. ”

Chai Rong took a deep breath and said with a cold face, "You go back first, since I am here, I have my own countermeasures." (To be continued......)
