Chapter 436: About the Alien Race
I clearly know in my heart that Beilang Mountain is the location of the Yuwen family's tea garden in Suzhou.
This overlapped with the original impression in my mind.
Not only have I heard from the Fu steward in the Chengdong Mansion, but even Yuan Bao has told me several times.
Listening to what the innkeeper said, I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but think: Could it be that the people on the side of the tea garden are loose, so the tea flows to the market?
Otherwise, you will taste the same taste of tea in Nanhua Town, how to explain this matter?
You must know that there is no teahouse in Suzhou City that can reach out to the Yuwenjia Tea Garden.
It's all because of what Yuan Bao told me, the Yuwen family has strict control.
The teahouse I encountered last time was just under a false name.
Few people in the city can taste it, and anyone who can taste it will not go out to drink tea.
I frowned, took a sip of tea and thought to myself.
Several thoughts flashed through my mind one after another, and I looked at the shopkeeper and didn't know how to speak.
I wanted to ask for details, but I was worried that I wouldn't even be able to talk to the innkeeper about my friends.
He was very warm to me, but I was just a guest passing by Nanhua Town and staying at his inn.
He may also use this politeness on other guests.
If I want to ask him, some of them involve the source of tea, will it be taboo?
If it is really asked abruptly, the shopkeeper does not know what the reaction is, and both parties may feel embarrassed.
There was a chill in my eyes. Shaoqing turned his gaze and looked at him in embarrassment.
Without waiting for me to dwell on it for too long, the innkeeper smiled and continued: "That friend of mine likes to grow tea and drink tea all his life. "His greatest interest in life is in this tea," the shopkeeper said, glancing out the window. But as far as I know, it is difficult to find suitable places to grow tea in Suzhou. ”
I was stunned for a moment and lowered my head, I also heard Yuan Bao say this sentence.
At that time, I was thinking that it was difficult for Suzhou to produce good tea or because of the weather.
However, I have never seen the environment of the Yuwen family's tea plantation with my own eyes, so it is not good to draw conclusions too early.
Anyway, Yuanbao told me that the location of the Yuwenjia Tea Garden was also carefully selected. Otherwise, you won't be able to grow such good tea.
After a pause, the shopkeeper looked at me again and said, "As for Nanhua Town, you don't even have to think about it." ”
It was eerily quiet, and I glanced at him thoughtfully. Capturing the look on his face, he looked away and looked down in contemplation.
After a while, my heart suddenly moved, and I raised my head and asked the shopkeeper, "What did your friend do in the end?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled faintly, he was very patient. He spoke to me in a calm tone, "My friend is looking around. Not only did I search the nearby mountains in Nanhua Town, but I also went as far as the mountains in Suzhou to check it. “
"It's hard work to find a place, and it's a matter of eating and sleeping alone."
There was some emotion in the shopkeeper's tone, and I immediately nodded in agreement when I heard this.
It's hard to find without perseverance, and just thinking about the difficulty of the process can be daunting! After searching around, he found the most suitable place for planting in the Beilang Mountain area.
A flash of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I took a deep breath and stared at him curiously, waiting for the innkeeper to finish. So that I can solve some of the doubts in my mind.
Suzhou-Beilangshan, listening to it, I feel that there will be an inseparable relationship between the two kinds of tea. "There are places in the Beilang Mountain area that are particularly suitable for growing tea."
The shopkeeper's eyelashes drooped and he thought about it. He didn't sell anything to me, but his tone sounded tinged with a hint of regret.
As if echoing the thoughts in my heart, when he looked up, he turned his eyes away and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that there is a big family in Suzhou, and the whole mountain is their territory." ”
My eyes widened, and a thought grew stronger!
Needless to ask, I'm sure I've got that one in mind!
Except for the tsundere boy in the east house of Suzhou City-I don't think about him!
Is it really something that happened under the noses of the Yuwen family?!
I looked at him puzzled, I hadn't doubted what Yuan Bao said to me before, it seemed that something was wrong!
The shopkeeper looked at me and said calmly: "The big family can't afford to offend, and my friend decided to retreat after thinking about it again. "He chose a nearby wasteland near the top of the hill and planted a small tea plantation on the wasteland."
Hearing this, my eyes lit up, and I looked at him intently for a moment.
The truth is not complicated, Fang is thinking too much!
The shopkeeper's tone changed, and the expression on his face was a little wavering: "But because there are many people in Suzhou and there are many teahouses, although he grows tea, he is still worried." "In order to avoid disputes and not to cause trouble for himself, except for his own drinking, the tea is sold to the northeast region."
Sure enough, it was exactly what I guessed!
I picked up the point in his words, looked at him, pursed my lips, and listened to him continue. "This inn of mine has been open in Nanhua Town for many years, and every year when new tea comes up, he will leave me a batch."
The shopkeeper's tone was frank: "When the tea leaves in the inn run out, he will provide them directly, so he will help sell them by the way." ”
I looked at him suddenly, his expression gradually soothed, and I finally understood the reason.
The place close to the Yuwenjia tea plantation, if you choose to plant there, it is undoubtedly the closest to the ecological environment of the tea there.
In addition, the innkeeper said that his friend is dedicated to his work, and he likes tea in his life, so he will naturally take care of his tea garden.
Everyone who focuses on doing things is a bit crazy, and I have always thought that people with such a personality are more likely to achieve something in their own career field.
No, I'll drink tea. I recognized the taste.
In the matter of planting tea, the other party did not lose to the tea garden taken care of by a bunch of people in the Yuwen family.
The taste of the tea brought by the young man in the inn is very close to the taste of the so-called "special" tea from the Yuwen family.
It's still early to start spring. The tea here is all from the previous year!
It can be expected that when the new tea comes up, I am afraid that the taste will be better.
But when the time comes
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that by that time, I might have finished all my business in the Northland and left Sealand!
I didn't have a chance to taste Suzhou's new tea.
I haven't decided where to go by then, or I'm going to find a master. Or the mountains are high and the rivers are long, but it may not be possible to come to Sealand again!
The innkeeper told me the area where the tea is sold, does it mean that I am in the teahouse in Nanhua Town? Maybe you can taste this kind of tea with a similar taste?
My inquiry with the shopkeeper explained my doubts, and he did not deny it.
After a few small talks, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
I don't dwell on that pot of tea anymore. My interest shifted to the dim sum I had just had.
Because. The innkeeper told me that it is the best dim sum in Nanhua Town, the best!
With such a big brand in front, of course I want to ask where the store is located in town, no way, foodie habits!
Without waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, the young man spoke first, and he said in a gentle tone to me: "Guest, this shop is open in the north of Nanhua Town. ”
At first, I had a conversation with the innkeeper. The young man was either holding snacks or tea, or sitting quietly and listening to our conversation.
He didn't want to disturb my conversation with the innkeeper. Deliberately reducing the sense of existence, sometimes even I almost ignore him!
At this moment, the young man scratched his head and looked at me and said, "In the north of the town." “
The young man smiled at me: "You eat the muffins made in his shop, which taste very good, and their glutinous rice shortbread sells the fastest." “
The young man suggested to me, "If you like it, you can go shopping tomorrow morning and buy some to take away." “
"But the business of that shop is good, if you want to try a few more varieties, you have to go early, there are a lot of people who buy pastries every day."
Oh, it's a famous long-established dim sum shop!
"If it's late, it's going to be sold out!" The young man instructed me.
I was silent for a while, lowered my eyelids and thought about it, then looked at him in surprise and said, "Since the business is so good, why doesn't he recruit a few more people, or open a few more shops?" ”
At least how many branches are there in the time-honored dim sum shop in Suzhou?
Ordinary people in both the west and east of the city can buy the snacks they want to eat near the place where they live, and choose the nearest semicolon! "That's what people want," the young man said in a sincere tone, looking at me, "Isn't it just a sign to see so many people waiting at the door?" "You have a point." I pondered for a moment, and a faint smile crossed my lips in response.
At the moment, the bag of ingredients I took from upstairs was still on the next table.
I just came down from the upper floors and saw them sitting and talking in the hall, and they left the ingredients there.
It's all about eating, and I finally remember what I was doing when I first came down!
I stood up and turned to the next table to pick up the paper bag.
The young man and the innkeeper saw the big bag of things in my hand, looked at them and asked, "Guest, what are you carrying?" "Look at me, I forgot when I was distracted," I was a little stunned, and then raised the corners of my mouth to show a smile, and said calmly to the two of them.
Isn't it because I'm worried about going out to check in case I bump into someone else, and I can't say it clearly in the dead of night?
I never guessed that once I sat in the lobby of the inn, I would say so much to the innkeeper!
After chatting, the conversation began, from the whereabouts to the tea.
It occurred to me that the innkeeper was really a talkative person, worthy of doing this business, and knew how to open up a conversation with guests.
I wanted to hear something from him that I wanted to know, and in turn, he found an opportunity to talk to me, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
I turned my head to look at the shopkeeper and the young man, paused, and said, "Originally, I went downstairs to go to the big kitchen to cook something to eat." "When I saw that you were all sitting downstairs, I came over to talk," I said lightly with a slight tug at the corners of my mouth, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I just forgot about it for a while." “
My eyes fell on the young man's face, and I winked at him and said, "Didn't you tell me?" “
The young man was slightly stunned and looked at me fixedly. "You told me," I tilted my head and explained, "if the guests are not used to the food cooked by the cooks in Nanhua, the big kitchen can be used." ”
"You reminded me more than just the thief," I said, glancing at him, "you said you just had to do it yourself, and I'll tell you about the ingredients tomorrow morning." "That's right."
Before the young man could answer, the innkeeper exchanged glances with the young man first.
After that, he replied, "I've been mindful of him reminding his guests of this." "I just thought you weren't perfunctory, so I'm going to go to the big kitchen to make food."
I tilted my head and thought about it, explained in a calm tone, and then looked at the two of them. "Here, when business was good, there were a lot of aliens coming and going between the north and Suzhou."
Hearing this, I looked at him thoughtfully, and stood there motionless.
Because I didn't expect that when I was leaving, the innkeeper suddenly mentioned "alien"!
I had just explained two sentences, and was about to raise my leg to leave, when I stopped when I heard him say something alien.
Now I'm very sensitive to the word Northland, especially when it comes to people of different races.
There have been many rumors about the war between the empress and the princess.
Long before I entered the palace, I lived in the alleys of the national capital, went to the teahouse, and walked the streets, and I heard a lot of rumors.
Ordinary people pay attention to this war, although they can't talk about it publicly, but there will always be times when they talk about it quietly.
I had heard that there were people of different races involved in the war, and that they would play a role in it, as I still did not know.
But there is one thing I know, because of some peculiarities, there is a great possibility that the war will change.
Didn't you say that the princess had recruited a lot of talented people? Let's not mention where and how she found it, just this news.
I think there may be discrepancies in the rumors, but they may also be the truth.
What's in her mind? It's nothing more than to increase your winning chips for yourself!
Those aliens, they are well versed in the terrain of the Northlands, and there are many doorways in them, and it is difficult to know them without being there.
I let out a long sigh in my heart and didn't say much about it.
A hint of confusion flashed in my eyes, and I asked curiously, "Is there a problem with the alien living in the inn?" “
I pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the innkeeper, at least this point can be asked, and it can be regarded as a side understanding. (To be continued.) )
