Chapter 065: Seeking
"Good! I don't dare to give advice, it's the old man who wants to ask the girl for advice. Before tasting it, the shopkeeper was already intoxicated by the aroma of tea.
After slowly tasting the tea soup like drinking a treasure, the shopkeeper said with satisfaction, "Cheng Gong is really wise, the girl's tea art is outstanding, the old man admires, if the girl does not dislike it, the old man is willing to hire the girl as the first tea doctor in Shilifeng, and the girl's veil, can you take it off?" ”
Ye Tingyao unconsciously raised her hand to stroke the veil, feeling faintly uneasy.
The shopkeeper saw Ye Tingyao's discomfort and explained, "The so-called tea ceremony, in addition to tasting the tea soup, but also to appreciate the process of making tea, many guests will ask Dr. Tea to show the tea art on the spot, if the girl has been masked, I am afraid that the guests will think that the girl is disrespectful to them." ”
Ye Tingyao said in embarrassment, "The little girl has a deficiency on her face, and she is afraid that it is inappropriate to remove the veil." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed slightly, but his expression was as usual, "The old man is familiar with many famous doctors in the capital, if the girl can trust the old man, you can let the old man see what is wrong with the girl's face, maybe it will not affect the view." ”
In order to make the shopkeeper die, Ye Tingyao simply lifted the corner of the veil, revealing the scars she had carefully drawn.
I didn't want the shopkeeper to be not frightened, but he looked up and laughed, "Girl, the old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, you little trick, you can fool the people who are not deeply involved in the world, but you can't fool the old man, the scar that the old man painted on his face back then is much more realistic than the girl's." ”
Ye Tingyao's face was almost red to the base of her neck, and the 'modern makeup technique' she was proud of was actually seen through at a glance, she was the first to deceive, I don't know if the shopkeeper will be prejudiced against her.
The shopkeeper's fingers lightly tapped the recommendation letter on the table, "Cheng Gong said in the letter, 'The girl is smart and beautiful', the old man was worried that the girl was in trouble on the way to Beijing, and now you can rest assured, the girl covered her appearance in order to avoid trouble, and the old man can understand." ”
Ye Tingyao lowered his head and said, "The shopkeeper has a clear eye, please forgive the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, "The girl thinks this is feasible, if the girl is willing to stay in the teahouse, the old man can give the girl a month's guaranteed salary first, and the girl will make two new shirts and dresses, and then buy two Luo Yan tulle scarves." ”
The shopkeeper mentioned Luo Yan tulle scarf Ye Tingyao knows, many official women often connect this scarf to the hat, translucent, embroidered with various patterns of flowers and branches on the yarn.
The tulle looms behind the cover, adding a sense of mystery and charm to the veilers.
The shopkeeper has determined that Ye Tingyao is a rare tea ceremony master in the Zhou Dynasty, and the tea art is not only in the top ten in the Zhou Dynasty, but he has the heart to include it in the Shilifeng Teahouse.
"Boiling tea and being good at tea ceremony is a very elegant thing, which can increase the reputation of the girl, and with the girl's tea art, she can become famous in the future, and it is even possible to meet the tea saint and get the favor of the tea saint." The shopkeeper thought about it, and gave Ye Tingyao a reassuring pill, "Girl, don't worry, the old man can guarantee that no one will make trouble in the teahouse and harass the girl." ”
The shopkeeper thought that Ye Tingyao would be nervous and excited when he moved the tea saint out, and he didn't want the other party's expression to be light, so he didn't care at all.
What is the tea saint, Ye Tingyao has never heard of it.
Although Ye Tingyao didn't know who the tea saint was, she was still moved after listening to the shopkeeper's words, so she asked, "The shopkeeper mentioned the guaranteed salary before, so in addition to the guaranteed salary, do we have any other income?" ”
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the little girl was still moved when she heard the tea saint, and she thought about it, who in the Zhou Dynasty did not submit to the holy name of the four saints.
As for the rest of the income, it has to do with the girl's reputation and popularity, the more she names the girl to make tea and invites the girl to the private room to show the tea ceremony, the higher the girl's income, and the tips given by the guests are also the girl's. According to the old man, with the girl's tea art, in addition to the guaranteed salary, she can get at least thirty taels of silver per month. ”
"The little girl is free of your surname Lin, and her single name is a Yao character." Ye Tingyao went to a place and changed her name, her eyes had lit up after hearing the income, and the shopkeeper said that it was at least, so it was almost the same as her income from making and selling cakes every day, and it was easier. After Ye Tingyao learned the rules of doing things from the shopkeeper, she immediately signed the deed and pressed her handprint, and Ye Tingyao knew that the shopkeeper's surname was An.
Shopkeeper An asked the servant to take out ten taels of silver and hand it to Ye Tingyao, and asked Ye Tingyao to go shopping in the East Market first, buy shirts, skirts, and scarves, and tomorrow Ye Tingyao will not have to make tea for the guests, just follow the servants and the rest of the tea doctors to familiarize themselves with the teahouse.
Ye Tingyao thanked the shopkeeper, took Dumb out of the teahouse, and ran into a ready-to-wear shop near the teahouse with a clear goal.
The shop is full of all kinds of popular dresses and skirts of the season, Ye Tingyao rubbed the white coarse cloth clothes on her body, and sighed that this place is worthy of being a shop in Dongshi, the first commercial and trade place in Beijing, and every dress is very delicate and beautiful.
Which girl doesn't want to dress up brightly Ye Tingyao swallowed her saliva, and her eyes finally swept over those brightly colored and chic styles, only staying on the simple and conservative plain skirts.
Ye Tingyao was carefully choosing, Dumb squeezed out of Ye Tingyao's arms, ran to a dress skirt, jumped one after another, and looked like he wanted to peck at the dress a few times, and spread wild on the dress.
"Stupid goose, scratch your feather coat, I won't kill you." The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop, who originally ignored Ye Tingyao, shouted in a panic, stood up and yelled at Ye Tingyao, "Take care of your goose, if this feather coat is broken, it will not be enough to compensate you for cutting your head ten times, and you will die a poor ghost." ”
The shopkeeper's loud voice startled Ye Tingyao, Ye Tingyao thought to herself that she was already grumpy, but compared to Dumb, it was really not worth mentioning, Dumb snorted at the shopkeeper......
Ye Tingyao didn't have time to fight back, so she only rushed to Dumb, who had made sufficient preparations to attack Ni Clothes and Feathers, with the momentum of lightning, and held Dumb in his arms.
The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, slumped on the chair, and muttered, "This feather coat was ordered by the noble concubine in the palace, and my father-in-law will come to pick it up in the afternoon, if it is broken...... This shop won't be opened, and my head won't be enough to cut off......"
Ye Tingyao had never heard of the noble concubine, but when she saw that the shopkeeper was scared like this, she knew that most of them were the emperor's favorite concubines.
Ye Tingyao glanced at the feather coat, strange that Dumb would be so excited, the whole clothes were woven with five-colored feathers, and I didn't know that the noble concubine had a good taste, wearing this Laoshzi feather coat, not like a birdman.
Ye Tingyao found that the shopkeeper's gaze at her was obviously annoyed, and she consciously took the loss, so she didn't pick it, so she took a moon-white plain and elegant short cardigan skirt, a pure white narrow-sleeved thin-waisted gown, and then chose two Luo Yan tulle scarves painted with light ink plum branches, and left in a hurry after paying the shopkeeper seven taels of silver......
