Chapter 64: Opening a Tea House in Kyoto
When the prince is fine, he always likes to go to Yunxi's teahouse to drink tea, and this day the prince came to Yunxi's teahouse again, Yunxi still served the jasmine tea that the prince loved to drink, and the prince sat down and said to Yunxi: "Do you know why I always like to drink tea with you?" β
Yun Xi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
The prince said; "Because I have never drunk such fresh tea in the palace, Qin Kai doesn't know what kind of hair tip came in, Tieguanyin. The name is good, but the brewed tea has a musty smell and the color is not right, and I don't know how long it has been left at a glance. I wanted to drink fresh tea, so I had to come to you. Just give me some! Let me take it back and drink it for a few days. β
Yun Xi said to you: "You said it earlier." I can still afford a few bags of tea, what hairy tips, Tieguanyin, everything, all in my own tea garden, green and pollution-free. β
When the prince heard Maojian, he hurriedly said: "When I hear Maojian, Tieguanyin is uncomfortable, don't give me Maojian again, Tieguanyin."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "What you drink is Maojian."
The prince said seriously: "No! Why don't you drink the same taste in the palace. β
Yunxi Township said that it can have a taste, you are the moldy tea specially entered by Qin Kai, but there is no evidence and dare not say nonsense, so he said: "Mine is Yunxi Maojian, there is a brand, can it be the same."
"Don't say that this brand of tea is delicious, bring me your Yunxi Maojian, Yunxi Tieguanyin and Yunxi Jasmine, and I will drink it for a few more days." The prince said.
Suddenly, he said, "Xiaoxi, why don't you open a teahouse in Kyoto!" I still have to take such a long carriage to drink tea in this Baozi Town. β
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched and said, "I want to open it in Kyoto." Is there a land? β
"I'm going to find you a place to open a teahouse in Kyoto, how can you thank me."
"How do you want me to thank you?"
"If you want me to say that you have to drink tea with me every day."
Yun Xi thought he was jokingly agreeing, "Okay." β
The prince drank the tea and took the tea wrapped by Yun Xi, and said to Yun Xi before leaving: "Remember what you said, you must speak count, and I will find a place for you." β
Yun Xi had long forgotten what he had just said. He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, remember, you can go quickly, and affect my business here." The prince glared and returned to the palace with the tea.
On this day, Yun Xi was in the supermarket, and the guy in the teahouse ran to say that someone was looking for him, Yun Xi hurriedly rushed to the teahouse, and when he went in, he saw that it was the prince, Yun Xi said teasingly: "Why is the tea drunk so quickly, it won't be that the tea is eaten as a meal?"
The prince glared: "You treat me as a tea bucket!" I'm here to ask for tea! β
"Why are you here for tea?"
"Do you miss you?" The prince looked at Yun Xi and said.
"Missed me, or missed my stuff? Say what you want this time. This girl has to take it. β
"I'm not here to ask for something this time, I'm here to make good on my promise." The prince said aggrievedly.
"Promise, what promise?"
"It's my promise to help you find a place to open a teahouse, and you drink tea with me!"
Yun Xi thought for a while and seemed to have said, so he asked, "Have you found a place?" β
The prince patted his chest and said; "Naturally, I found it, is there anything that this prince can't do as soon as he comes out."
Yun Xi asked, "Where is it?" β
"It's from Jingjiu Street."
When Yun Xi heard that he was still in Kyoto City, he hurriedly asked, "The rent is very expensive, right?" β
"It's not expensive, don't want rent, it was originally a restaurant opened by the palace, and it was rented to a jade seller when it wasn't very prosperous, and now you can use it, I'll take it back."
Yun Xi said: "Then I can't use it in vain!" How much do you say rent? I pay the rent".
The crown prince said: "Don't pay the rent, you can serve the palace tea for free!" β
When Yun Xi heard this, it didn't look like rent. The palace is so big, and there are so many people in the palace, and they don't eat themselves poor. β
Seeing that Yunxi didn't speak, the prince smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you still have to pay the rent!" Ten taels of silver a month, not one tael less."
Yunxi thought that he could pick up a treasure, only ten taels of silver a month, to know that such a big teahouse, a hundred taels is not much, just thinking about it, I heard the prince say: "Okay, deal, the key to the teahouse is given to you, when you open the house, tell me, I will go to celebrate for you." After speaking, he finished drinking the tea in the quilt. patted Yun Xi on the shoulder and left.
Yun Xi didn't react for a long time, and he was stunned until Ma Liu shouted at him. I spent ten taels of silver a month to rent a teahouse in Kyoto, not dreaming! Don't say that this stage is really good for you. It won't be that you really like yourself, you must know that the crown prince is the heir to the throne, that is the future emperor. I can't afford to climb high, and I have read a lot of palace fighting novels, and the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards are not thinking about being the queen, fighting openly and secretly, and designing to frame them. Yun Xi doesn't want to live like that, plus he is still a modern person who advocates monogamy. The most important thing is that I don't feel for the prince, and I have always regarded him as a confidant and a good friend in my heart.
Whatever, maybe the prince also regards himself as a friend and confidant. People themselves are the kind of people who stick knives in the ribs for their friends. It's better to build the teahouse first.
The next day, Yun Xi went to the teahouse rented by the prince, the appearance is still quite spectacular, not old, and the inside of the door is also decorated, Yun Xi only then knew the reason why the prince did not go to the teahouse in the past few days, it turned out that he was decorating the teahouse. A qiΔ is ready, a mahogany table and chairs in the lobby of the private room. Just waiting for the opening.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yun Xi took her model women's army to the Lunan Tea Garden, called the tea farmers she hired, picked some tea leaves that had just been picked and put on the bamboo surface to dry the water, the best way is to shake the tea leaves with your hands, but you can't press them by hand, otherwise the tea will become thick and not easy to dry. For example, you can't let the tea leaves face the front of the sun, but the opposite side, and then adjust the orientation of the bamboo surface when the tea leaves are dried to five or six percent, so that the sun can dry the tea.
The dried tea leaves should be dried with charcoal. The tea farmer removes the tea leaves from the bamboo surface and gently turns the tea up and down with both hands. The dried tea leaves must be kept at a constant temperature, and after two hours, the tea leaves must be turned up and down again to allow the temperature to rise to the most suitable degree. The tea leaves made in this way are refreshing and fragrant.
Yun Xi wrapped the dried tea leaves and loaded them into the carriage, and returned to the Kyoto teahouse with his model women's army, Yun Xi's teahouse in Kyoto is still called Yunxi Teahouse, after getting ready, Yun Xi called the prince and set off a few firecrackers, Yun Xi's model walked a few more catwalks, and the teahouse was opened.
