Chapter 223: Brothers Taste Tea

Old man Jin is not surnamed Jin, his real name is Wen Ruli, he is about sixty years old, and he is absolutely emaciated, because he has a pair of fiery eyes that break gold and know jade, therefore, people give him the nickname Jin Yiyan, and most of the people in the industry respectfully call him Jin Ye, that is, Mu Jincheng dares to call him Jin Old Man.

Wen Ruli at the counter heard his voice, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, he put down the ancient jade in his hand, stood up and said, "Third master, what wind blew you here?" ”

"I'll go up to you looking for an object." Mu Jincheng strode up to him.

Wen Ruli's face was wrinkled, and he said with a smile: "The good things in the treasure shop, if not ten thousand, but also thousands, do you want gold and silver pieces or gems and jade?" ”

Mu Jincheng picked up a mutton fat white jade pendant on the counter and looked at it: "I want an abacus!" ”

"Abacus?" Wen Ruli was a little stunned, "This should be bought at the grocery store." ”

"I don't want that!" Mu Jincheng waved his hand again and again, "I just ask you if you have an abacus made of mahogany, pear, agate, jade and other good things here?" ”

Wen Ruli rubbed her chin, twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while and said, "I remember that more than ten years ago, the master made a red sandalwood abacus in the northern trading house, and then I don't know who took it away......"

Mu Jincheng immediately interrupted him: "What about the one at my second brother's place, let me ask you if you have anything else?" ”

Wen Ruli shook his head: "If you say that the hairpin is ringed, you may not be able to remember it, and it is not a conventional object like an abacus, but the old man still has some memory." ”

Mu Jincheng asked eagerly: "Then tell me, which one has it in the entire Nancang County?" I'm going to buy it right away. ”

"The third master is waiting for it like this?" Wen Ruli lifted her eyelids and wondered.

"100,000 is urgent, it's better to take it for me now!" Mu Jincheng said it categorically, and it seemed that he couldn't delay for a moment.

Seeing him say this, Wen Ruli walked out of the counter and said: "Since the third master is waiting to ask for it, let's go out and look for it, the young owner of the Song family mourned me a few days ago to show him a few objects, I can just ask for a favor and ask him if there is any, as for the other families, I can more or less ask by the way." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Mu Jincheng sat at the table with a golden sword.

Wen Ruli owed a debt and went out with a young man.

Mu Jincheng sat and drank a cup of tea, bored, so he asked the guy to show him the latest jewelry, he grew up in wealth, his eyes were very poisonous, he was picky, he chose two or three pieces of jewelry for Gu Qingzhu, and saw two white hostas, which seemed to be on a piece of material, and the hairpins were carved with bamboo leaves, he liked it in his heart, so he took them together.

After sitting for a while, Wen Ruli held a thing wrapped in muslin in his hand, hurriedly came back, and when he saw him, he said: "The third master is really lucky, the Song family's treasury is pressed with a batch of old objects that came in from the south more than ten years ago, and there is an abacus in it, but the size is not very good, the ornaments are too big, and the practicality feels small." ”

As he spoke, he opened the baggage, revealing a small abacus, smaller than Mu Mingcheng's sandalwood abacus, the frame and beams were boxwood, and the sixty-three beads in the nine columns were all ground from rhino horns, a milky yellow color, although it was separated by more than ten years, there was still a very light aroma.

Mu Jincheng's eyes lit up, and he rubbed the beads and said, "That's what I want!" ”

The abacus made a crisp crashing sound under his hand, which was very pleasant.

Wen Ruli was a little puzzled: "Third master, you use it yourself, or do you want to give it away?" ”

"Find it for the young lady." Mu Jincheng didn't hide it, put away his abacus and asked, "How much money did the Song family kid ask you for?" ”

"I didn't spend much money, he recently received some new old things, let me help palm the eye, now I see that a painting and calligraphy is a fake, thanks to him has no money to pay the full amount, this is in time to recover the loss of a few hundred taels of silver.

Later, I asked him if he had an abacus, he asked the guy to look for it in the warehouse, and found out this, now the rhino horn jewelry is outdated, piled up in the warehouse and no one cares, he also asked for a personal price of fifty taels, which is half sold and half given. ”

"This is probably what my aunt planned to keep for her own use, and now that it is returned to her niece and daughter-in-law, it can be regarded as a full use." Mu Jincheng said in a low voice.

"Hey, it's a pity for Mrs. Gu." Wen Ruli shook her head and sighed.

Mu Jincheng found what he wanted, so he hurriedly went back, so he stood up and said, "Old man Jin, thank you, the abacus and those pieces of jewelry are recorded in my account." ”

"The third master has an excellent vision, and these pieces are all new this year." Wen Ruli personally wrapped the jewelry and sent Mu Jincheng out of the door.

Mu Jincheng returned to Ruihua Courtyard with the package, and found that Gu Qingzhu had not returned, so he replaced the rhino horn abacus with the sandalwood bead abacus on the top of the wardrobe, and still wrapped it in muslin.

Youyu didn't know that he was coming back to eat, and there was no preparation in the small kitchen, so he had to fill his hunger with a bowl of noodles at this time.

Mu Jincheng was not picky, just a few side dishes, and asked while eating: "Where did the young lady eat?" ”

"At noon, the cherry in front of the lady said that the young lady had a meal in Chaohui Courtyard and did not come back to eat, so the small kitchen did not make a single one." Youyu stood next to him and said.

Mu Jincheng stuffed his face and muttered: "I haven't come back yet, is it possible to look at the account books again?" ”

Seeing him like this, Youyu couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't worry, the spring warbler was trained by the old lady, and she is smart, so she will send someone back if you have something." ”

"Well, by the way, you let people go to the second master's magnolia courtyard to take a look, if the second master is here, just say I'll come later." Mu Jincheng thought about it and commanded.

Youyu turned around and went out, calling a clever little girl to run to deliver the letter.

After a while, the little girl turned around, saying that the second master had just come back and was accounting in the house, and she didn't go out for a while.

Mu Jincheng listened, stopped drinking tea, and walked out of the yard with the package.

The Magnolia Garden is not far from the Ruihua Courtyard, along the wisteria veranda all the way to the north, behind a large large field of white magnolia trees is the Magnolia Courtyard.

At this moment, the buds on the magnolia branches were already visibly bulging, fluffy like the paws of a puppy, Mu Jincheng had no time to appreciate it, and hurried through the forest.

An Xi, who was wearing a thin cotton rabbit fur jacket skirt, was greeting him at the door, she was not beautiful, but she was calm and calm, which was quite in line with Mu Mingcheng's temperament, so she was promoted to be the housekeeper in the hospital.

"The third master, the second master is waiting for you in the house." Anxi leads the way.

Magnolia Courtyard, as its name suggests, is full of orchids, not like all kinds of flowers and plants in the Fern Courtyard, this season coincides with the orchid Turui, the elegant aroma makes people refreshed.

"Third brother, come and sit." Mu Mingcheng heard the voice, opened the curtain and welcomed him in.

The furnishings in the room are simple and clear, a large black lacquer case is piled up with a stack of account books, one is being opened, the inkstone next to it is filled with ink, and a wolf pen holder is on the pen mountain, it is obvious that the owner is still doing things just now.

"I won't bother you." Mu Jincheng put the package on the case and asked knowingly.

Mu Mingcheng glanced at the package and said with a smile: "It's hard for you to come here, our brothers haven't had tea together for a long time, and they are looking at the headache, so it's better to rest." ”

While the two were talking, An Xi brought a few dishes of refreshments and asked in a low voice, "The slave maid makes tea for the two masters?" ”

"No, you go, I'll do it myself." Mu Mingcheng waved his hand.

An Xi bowed and retreated, and Mu Mingcheng sat down at the tea table and started grinding tea.

Mu Jincheng leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "The second brother participates in the tea party every year, and he can drink a cup of tea brewed by the leader, but it's a great thing." ”

"Mujia tea can't make tribute tea, no matter how good the tea art is, it's just a useless flower shelf." Mu Mingcheng took out a basket sieve and carefully sifted out the tea powder.

Mu Jincheng took the blue and white tea pot to enjoy, and said casually: "Our Mu family doesn't make tea for a year or two, and the ancestors can't do it for more than a hundred years, why do we have to do it?" ”

"As the saying goes, whoever achieves great things will have the right time, place and people...... The young lady accidentally saved the ninth princess, and got acquainted with the seventh prince, which can be regarded as occupying people, and now my father has great hopes for next year's tea fight, and wants to fight for the opportunity to compete for tribute tea. On the stove, the water in the clay pot was boiling, and it was steaming, Mu Mingcheng scooped half a spoonful of fine salt and put it in, stirring slightly.

"Qingzhu is just a country girl, she is now learning rules and etiquette, and she is also a cat cub who learns tigers, she looks like a god, this kind of glorious ancestor, blessed for thousands of years, where did she do it!" Mu Jincheng looked at the tea cake, put down the tea can, shook his head and said.

Mu Mingcheng said indifferently: "The second uncle said that she is a prosperous husband who is blessed and prosperous, and the first few things have not been fulfilled, and it is not easy to say about the future." ”

At this time, the water in the clay pot boiled again, like spring water gushing out, Mu Mingcheng scooped a bowl, put the tea powder into it, waited for two or three breaths, the green tea soup tumbled like a rising tide, when it was about to overflow, and poured the two stubble water into it, there was a layer of white foam floating on the tea soup, as if the snow in winter, and like spring flowers in March, and at this time, the fragrance of tea wafted, filling the whole house.

"Taste it." Mu Mingcheng handed a divided cup of tea to Mu Jincheng.

Mu Jincheng picked up the plain white tea cup, took a sip, the entrance was sweet, the tea was fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "The tea is good, and the cooking of tea is better." ”

"Do you know who makes this tea?" Mu Mingcheng lowered his head and sniffed lightly, and asked with a smile.

Mu Jincheng took another sip, twisted his eyebrows and asked: "I see that the tea cakes are tight and clear, the tea market is sluggish this year, is it that in addition to the workshop of Sansheng Tea Shop, it has also received the next family?" ”

"This is my private collection." Mu Mingcheng reverently took a sip of tea, the tea soup was in his mouth, and the aroma flowed between his lips and teeth.

After three or five breaths, he swallowed and said, "If I tell you that the tea cake is from the young lady's hand, do you believe it?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Mu Jincheng almost choked on a sip of tea and coughed a few times.

Although Mu Jincheng said that this was very unexpected, but if you think about it, it is very possible to take care of Qingzhu's temper and make top-notch steamed green tea cakes.

"In this way, we have a geographical advantage, as for the time, it is just a season of good tea, and the Mujia tea garden is thousands of acres, I don't believe that I can't find more than 100 catties!" Mu Mingcheng said with confidence.

"Second brother, you probably forgot that the fresh tea leaves made from green bamboo are not from any tea mountain in the Mu family, so how can you get tea cakes of the same quality this year?" Mu Jincheng drank all the tea in one gulp and stared at him.
