Chapter 067: Understand
The window hole of the copper small wind stove revealed the red firelight, and after a while, the mountain spring water in the copper tripod made a gurgling sound, Wenxiu calmly took off the copper tripod, and mixed the ground powder tea, and then prepared the main ingredients and incense......
Li He pulled Wen Xiu, "Okay, Miss Lin Yao's kindness, are you okay." ”
"As for not being up to me, and I warn you, don't touch me casually."
Looking at Wen Xiu's straight white neck, Ye Tingyao couldn't help but scold, she was really a big white goose who was prouder than Dumb, but her Dumb was much cuter than Wen Xiu.
Xiao Shu smiled at Ye Tingyao, "It's not easy for Miss Lin Yao to be alone in the capital, in fact, our teahouse has two meals, the food is very good, rest another day, I will invite you again with Li He." ”
"Yes, yes, we should have asked." Li He came back to his senses and echoed on the side, only glancing at Wen Xiu.
Ye Tingyao heard that the teahouse was in charge of the rice, and she was no longer reluctant, in fact, although what Wenxiu said was ugly, the truth was very right, as long as she had the ability, why bother to pound the flowers and intestines, the teahouse couldn't lose her.
After doing a day in the teahouse, Ye Tingyao got to know the teahouse and Xiao Shu, Li He, and Wenxiu.
Xiao Shu has just arrived in the teahouse for half a year, and he is not a person from the capital, but a tribute from Longyou Road to Beijing to prepare for the scientific examination. Xiao Shu has married a wife, and when he left his hometown and went to Beijing, he promised his family that he would be a jinshi and after he obtained an official position in the capital, he would take his old parents, wife and children into Beijing. His family in Longyou Road is just a work rank of 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', and the reason why he works in the teahouse is also to send more money home and share the burden of his family.
Ye Tingyao knew that Xiao Shu was the first name of their local Chunqiu, and he was Huiyuan, and he admired him very much, and he also believed that a hard-working and smart person like Xiao Shu said that Zhongjin Shi was favored by the emperor in the palace examination, and it was no problem to take the top three estimates.
As for Li He and Wen Xiu, they are both from the capital, and although their families are not wealthy, they are also wealthy. The family knows that boiling tea is an elegant thing, which is highly respected by the nobles in Beijing, and the income in the teahouse is very rich, so they are very supportive of them to be tea doctors in the teahouse.
Wenxiu is indeed the oldest of the three, Xiao Shu has been in the teahouse for half a year, Li He has been a tea doctor for two years, and Wenxiu has been a tea doctor in the teahouse for two years.
The most surprising thing of the three was Wenxiu's experience of retiring from her family. When Wen Xiugang and Cardamom were young, the family set a family for her, and the other party was the second son of Zheng Yuanwailang in the suburbs of Beijing. Originally, regardless of family background or appearance, both sides were right, but they didn't want the son of Zheng Yuanwailang's family to be a guy who was ruined.
When Wenxiu was sixteen years old, when the two families were discussing the marriage of their two children, there was a scandal that a woman in a Qinglou with a stomach went to the Zheng family to ask for an explanation, asking Zheng Ergongzi to redeem her body and enter the Zheng family as a concubine.
Wenxiu is a fierce and dead-eyed person, where can she endure this, she simply ignored the persuasion of the people around her, forced her to die, she must withdraw from her relatives, her family can't resist her, and her family will give up.
As she gets older, it becomes more and more difficult for Wenxiu to meet the right person, and she has been delayed so far, she is twenty years old, and she is not married.
Ye Tingyao is impressed with Wenxiu and admires it very much, although she will not marry if she is replaced, but she and Wenxiu have a different cognitive environment, Wenxiu grew up in this era of feudal etiquette and cannibalism, and it is really not easy to withstand such a big pressure to make decisions, and then become a famous first-class tea doctor.
After dinner in the teahouse, Ye Tingyao packed up her things and prepared to go back to the inn, looked up and saw that there were still two boxes of pastries left on the desk, so she asked the servant who took care of the pastries, and after getting permission, she brought a box of pastries and planned to try them.
Li He smiled and asked as he walked past Ye Tingyao, "Miss Lin likes sweets?" ”
Ye Tingyao said, "I heard that the pastries prepared for guests in our teahouse are the best in the capital, I don't know which pastry shop bought them, is it Wuxiang Zhai?" ”
Ye Tingyao vaguely remembered that Wuxiangzhai in Lianzhou City had a chain shop in the capital, but she hadn't seen it since she entered Beijing.
"Five Spices?" Li He shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, the pastries in our teahouse are not bought from a pastry shop, but a restaurant called Wanfu Lou." Wanfulou is one of the four major restaurants in Beijing, and the chef in it once worked in the imperial dining room, and is known as the gold medal imperial chef. The daily pastries made by Wan Fu Lou are limited, the taste is very good, and the price is not comparable to other houses, and the oil paper wrapped pastries in Miss Lin's hand will cost about 3 or 400 yuan, although it is expensive, but the supply exceeds demand. The reason why there is no shortage of our teahouse is because the shopkeeper An has a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Wanfulou, and the settlement of money is very simple. ”
Ye Tingyao's mouth couldn't close in surprise, a bag of pastries dared to sell for hundreds of yuan, which was hundreds of times more expensive than the price of pastries she sold in Lianzhou City......
Ye Tingyao swallowed her saliva, but the pastries were made by the imperial chef, and her reputation was hundreds or thousands of times greater than her, so she wanted to taste what it tasted like.
Back at the inn, Ye Tingyao said hello to Xiao Er in the same store and took Dumb back to the room. Yesterday, she paid half a month's house money in one go, and then every ten days.
Ye Tingyao has been calculating the days of returning to Ye's Mansion in her heart, she has already thought about it, she can pretend to be disfigured and pitiful to go back, the shopkeeper of the teahouse is Lao Jianghu can see the flaws of 'disfigurement' at a glance, but her stepmother and stepsister cannot.
With what she knew about them, they would have gloated at the disfigurement of her appearance, and thought that she could no longer be a threat to their mother and daughter.
In this way, the vicious mother and daughter will not be like in Lianzhou County, scheming every day and trying all kinds of ways to deal with her, so that she can't be guarded against.
She can use the 'disfigurement' to gain respite, thoroughly find out the situation in the Ye Mansion, and inquire about the news of her grandfather's family.
Ye Tingyao also thought about it, if she could go back before the Ye family happened to do something big, it would be more safe, because the mother and daughter would not have time to trouble her......
Sitting on the round stool full of mottled cracks in the inn wing, Ye Tingyao rubbed her sore neck and wrists, and took out Wanfulou pastry, which was a bag of milk crisp, the surface of the milk crisp was sprinkled with a layer of pine nut powder, the pine nut powder was very finely ground, and the pastry was exquisite, no wonder it could be sold for hundreds of dollars.
Ye Tingyao picked up a piece and tasted it, the milk fragrance is strong, the sweetness is just right, the taste is indeed not bad, it is not comparable to the five spices, there are really many masters in the capital.
The pastries made by the imperial chef are delicious, but Ye Tingyao is more confident in her pastries, because for her, the pastries of the imperial chef are decent and flawless, and the guests here taste it impeccable, but after eating it more often, she will get tired of it, and there is no surprise The taste buds finally tend to calm down.
Ye Tingyao decided to find an opportunity to let Shopkeeper An try the pastries she made, if she opened up sales in the teahouse, she would be able to have a sustainable income when she returned to Ye Mansion in the future......
