Chapter 401: The Decline of the Tea Ceremony
"Hehe, it seems that I met a fellow believer today." The teahouse woman showed a look of surprise in her eyes, looked at Ye Tiannan, and then picked up the teacup in her hand.
"Sir, I would like to give you a glass."
"Drink together." Ye Tiannan smiled indifferently.
"Since Mr. knows the song of making tea, tell me what Guan Gong patrols the city is?"
Ye Tiannan looked at the female owner of the teahouse with a smile on her face, this girl is still here to test herself.
"Like this." Ye Tiannan didn't have any nonsense, picked up the hot teapot on the side, the teapot with a hot appearance, in Ye Tiannan's hand, it seemed to be like an ordinary teapot, without any temperature, and turned around in an anticlockwise direction on the teacup in front of him.
The female owner of the teahouse looked at Ye Tiannan's movements, and her eyes were a little moved.
"This Guan Gong patrols the city, Guan Gong patrols the city is just an allusion, in fact, it is a good saying, so it can actually be done or not, that is, some water droplets under the teapot are scraped off to prevent the overflowing water droplets from falling on the table, which is a very elegant posture, if it is rotated clockwise, the implication is a way to drink the guests."
"Then what is Han Xin's soldiers?" The teahouse lady asked again.
"That's it." Ye Tiannan picked up the kettle and poured it into the fair cup on the side, the so-called fair cup is actually the cup used to hold tea, Ye Tiannan is at least 50 cm away from the fair cup, Ye Tiannan sat there and stood still, if it were ordinary people, I was afraid that the tea would have spilled out long ago.
But Ye Tiannan picked up the teapot, and when he brewed the tea, the tea was evenly sprinkled into the teacup, like a high-spring waterfall, and the whole water flow was in a straight line, until the teacup was about seven points full, Ye Tiannan stopped.
"Tea, please." Ye Tiannan stretched out his hand to signal.
At this time, the female owner of the teahouse and Wang Dawei seemed to react, looking at the teacup in front of them that had been poured seven points full, their eyes were full of surprise.
Just now, it was obviously poured into the fair cup in a straight line, but in a blink of an eye, the tea in it went to their cup instead.
"This is Han Xin's soldiers."
"Awesome." The female owner of the teahouse gave Ye Tiannan a thumbs up, completely from the bottom of her heart, Ye Tiannan's hands were not perfect, and if they were played, they would only have the opposite effect, but they were easy to laugh at and be generous.
Wang Dawei on the side was in a fog and didn't understand the meaning at all, but if Ye Tiannan could get along with the female owner of the teahouse, he must have benefited from it in the future.
"Brother Wang, please." Ye Tiannan motioned for Wang Dawei to drink tea.
"Okay,." Wang Dawei was transferred from the army, and he still retained the pride of being a soldier in his bones, and he dried the tea in the teacup in one go.
If the cow drink is average, the female owner of the teahouse who is sitting there is secretly frowning.
"Two gentlemen drink slowly." As she spoke, the teahouse lady stood up from her position.
"Wait." Ye Tiannan and Wang Dawei exported almost at the same time.
"Mr. Ye, you say, you say." When Wang Dawei saw that Ye Tiannan also spoke up, he immediately understood most of it, how dare he steal the limelight with Ye Tiannan.
Ye Tiannan was not polite, took out a check from his pocket, wrote it, and handed it to the female owner of the teahouse.
"What do you mean, sir?" The female owner of the teahouse did not accept the check, and there was still a trace of anger in her eyes.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, in Xia Ye Tiannan, the chairman of Tiannan Group, this check is to buy your tea soul, you see if it's enough."
The female owner of the teahouse, who was originally angry, heard Ye Tiannan say this, and immediately took the check handed over by Ye Tiannan with some doubts, just glanced at it, and immediately said in surprise.
"10 million?!"
"Yes, if you don't think that's enough, I can add more."
"No, sir, we don't sell the soul of tea, what's more, the money you gave is too much, and our shop is not even worth 100,000."
"Brother Wang, I'll trouble you to wait today, I'll talk about this matter first." Ye Tiannan said to Wang Dawei, no matter what, the director of the security department of the province, one of the nine core people in the province, if he is put aside and listen to himself and this woman say this, even if he doesn't say anything, I am afraid that he will be a little unhappy in his heart.
If Ye Tiannan wants to continue to grow and develop his power in the future, he can't do without the support of these people at all, and it's not a good thing to make them resentful, maybe one day he will give you a knife when you need it.
Ye Tiannan naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"It's okay, Mr. Ye, you can just talk." Wang Dawei, who originally had some mustard in his heart, heard Ye Tiannan say this, and his heart immediately felt comfortable, no matter what, the other party can get mixed up to this point, and it really has his uniqueness, if he is like Ye Tiannan, he is afraid that his nose will be tilted to the sky, and he will not take anyone in his eyes for a long time, how can he speak so politely like Ye Tiannan.
If it weren't for the fact that this teahouse today gave Ye Tiannan the heart to acquire, and he also knew that after the transfer of this teahouse today, Ye Tiannan was afraid that he would not find anyone, and he would not talk about this topic at this time.
Seeing that Wang Dawei didn't mind, Ye Tiannan suddenly turned his head.
"I don't know your last name?"
The female owner of the teahouse glanced at Ye Tiannan.
"Du Shi Niang."
"Du Shi Niang." Hearing this name, the two of them looked stunned at the same time.
"Why, my name is ridiculous." Du Shi Niang's voice was a little cold.
"No, no, it's not funny at all, we're just surprised." As soon as Ye Tiannan finished speaking, Wang Dawei on the side nodded again and again.
"Then what do you mean, give me this bill? I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, our teahouse doesn't sell it. Du Siniang unceremoniously refused.
"Hehe, I didn't let you sell it."
"And what do you mean?" Du Siniang was a little puzzled, she didn't buy it, and gave herself such a high check, because she hadn't woken up yet, or because of other reasons.
"It's not interesting, it's like this, our Tiannan Group has just been established not long ago, and it is mainly to promote the culture of the Celestial Empire, and we want to revitalize the local industries of our Celestial Empire, and the tea ceremony happens to be one of them."
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Without waiting for Ye Tiannan to finish speaking, Du Siniang coldly refused.
"Wait until I'm done, and then refuse." Ye Tiannan still had a smile on his face, not like he was going to be angry.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, no matter what you say, our teahouse will never sell it, no matter what price you get." Du Siniang looked at Ye Tiannan with a cold face.
"I don't know the boss, do you know why the tea ceremony is in decline? You are so beautiful, the tea art is so exquisite, and the tea is fragrant and good, why do you know? ”
"Well, I don't know, maybe I'm not a humanoid here. There is too little crowding. Du Shi Niang hesitated for a moment, but still said so.
"Really?" Ye Tiannan had a smile on his face, and looked at Du Siniang noncommittally.
"Yes, if the flow of people here is a little more prosperous, if the rent of the store can be reduced a little, our tea soul will not be so depressed that it will be closed." Du Shi Niang nodded affirmatively.
"If you think so, you're wrong, if you don't believe it, I can give you 1 million start-up capital, you open the teahouse in the downtown area to try it, you see if someone will take care of it, whether it will be better."
"Really?" Du Shi Niang's eyes widened.
"Really, you don't need to drive over, you can ask Brother Wang to make it clear." Ye Tiannan glanced at Wang Dawei with a smile.
Wang Dawei glanced at Du Shi Niang and took a sip of tea.
"Indeed, Mr. Ye is right, this is not a matter of foot traffic, nor is it a matter of store pù, but a question of accepting Cheng dù, at least I have never thought of going to a teahouse to drink tea, and to put it bluntly in the downtown area, there, I have not seen a teahouse open, and even if it does, it will not be long before it will close down."
"Do you know why?" Ye Tiannan said a word on the side, and without waiting for Du Shi Niang to speak, Ye Tiannan continued.
To put it bluntly, it is still a question of accepting Cheng dù, the teahouse has existed for a long time and has continued to this day, why has it become declining in modern times? Not for other reasons, but in itself, the teahouse was set up for some people who had no place to spend time in ancient times, such as listening to operas and listening to storytelling, at that time only these entertainment activities were available in the teahouse, and if you don't go to the teahouse, you can't hear these things, so the teahouse was very popular and popular in the past, so why is it not popular now? ”
Ye Tiannan glanced at Du Shi Niang and saw that she also looked thoughtful.
"It's very simple, the reason why the teahouse is not popular now, in the final analysis, is because there are many places for recreation now, bars, the Internet, KTV, all kinds of pastime, and now it is no longer the congested society that it used to be, everyone is not in only one place to have a pastime, and there are various ways to spend time, why should others go to your teahouse to make tea? And it's hard to say, the teahouse now doesn't even have a way to make tea, only to make tea, hehe, I said bluntly, modern fast-paced life, not allowing others to have the leisure to make tea, boss, you can think about it, now a five-day shift a week, or even six days, go out early and return late, come back tired, how can others have time to make tea, to chat? Even if you have time, others go to the food stalls to drink and eat good things, isn't it more enjoyable, why bother to come to your teahouse to drink tea, not only the monotonous thing of making tea can be watched, but also there is no other entertainment, just imagine, who wants to come. Drinking tea according to what the proprietress said also depends on the mood, most of the modern people's lives are very depressed, very much in need of catharsis, followed by the emergence of KTV, bars, the Internet these platforms, provided for everyone to vent, only to create these places enduring, business is booming, this is an inevitable trend of the development of the times, in turn look at the teahouse? ”
"Mr. Ye, according to what you said, the tea ceremony is useless for you, why do you spend such a high price to buy my small teahouse? To be honest, my small teahouse is not even worth 1 million, or even 100,000 yuan, so why should you? ”
"Listen to me first." Ye Tiannan took a sip of tea.
"The decline of the tea ceremony is the inevitable trend of the development of the times, and now, the tea ceremony is still the tea ceremony, except for the teapot is good-looking, in addition to the tea art is good-looking, what about it? Only those who really know how to drink tea and appreciate tea know how to appreciate it, how many people in our Celestial Empire understand? Even if this part of the population understands, do you think it is better for them to have a set of tea sets at home and drink and enjoy themselves? Why bother to come to the teahouse, as for the others, they don't have this leisure and elegance, and they come to your teahouse to drink tea, even if they have money, they don't want to, because there is no meaning. ”
