Qu Wu led the Qingyun after a few days of sailing, and finally arrived at Yingdu.

In the early summer of Yingdu, Qu Wu in his memory of the banyan trees in Guangdong and Guangxi, at this moment there are all over the city, the sunlight from the dense layers of branches and leaves, the ground is printed with copper coin-sized sparkling spots. People are lightly dressed, and although the morning is still a little cool, as the sun rises, the temperature is unceremoniously dissipating the cool breeze.

When he came to Yingdu again, Qu Wu had an additional identity and a different state of mind, but he had more responsibilities.

After the Qingyun docked, Qu Wu and Ziyan got off the ship first and arranged the cargo first.

The two came to the Maoyuan shop, and as soon as they entered the shop, they saw Sun Shuao busy inside.

"Brother Qu, Mrs. Qu, are you here? Haha, that's great. Uncle Sun hurriedly greeted him.

"Shu Ao, why are you here?" Qu Wu was also very happy to see Sun Shuao.

"I'm helping my uncle now, I can't get it for nothing." Sun Shuao said.

Qu Wu saw that there were still books on the counter, and it seemed that he was working for Qi Hong while studying in his spare time.

"I'm going to call my uncle, he just went to the back warehouse." Sun Shuao said.

Uncle Sun Ao called Mi Hong, and Mi Hong was very happy to see Qu Wu and Ziyan coming: "Mr. Qu, great, you have been going for so long, I look forward to you coming almost every day, you don't know, how popular your lighters and wine are, the rich people in Yingdu are crazy with these two things, I don't know what good things you brought this time." Qi Hong said as he ushered Qu Wu into the reception room upstairs.

"Really? Congratulations to Boss Mi. But I'm not surprised at all, this time it's a whole shipwright, and most of it is new and goodies that you've never seen before. Qu Wu said.

"Really? That's great. Qi Hong said.

"Because it's new, it can only be accepted by buyers slowly, so I have to discuss with you how to sell these goods."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Boss Mi, these things are too novel, they will attract too many people to watch, and they can't be received at all when they are sold in the shops. And these things are expensive, just lock in the wealthy who can afford them. ”

"Then I'm a little confused, the goods are not sold in shops, should they be sold in pawnshops? However, it is true that those lighters and liquor are not sold in the shops, and I am worried that there are too many people. Qi Hong said.

"How did Boss Mi sell it?"

"My friends in the business market like it, and I showed them a few friends who had tea with me, and they all called friends to come to me, and they sold out in a few days." Qi Hong said.

"I also sell it in Hanyue and Gusu, and I don't sell it in shops, but I first open high-end restaurants and sell them in restaurants."

"It's a good idea, just one and two things, and the business of the restaurant will also improve a lot." Qi Hong said.

"And my restaurant also has some specialties that no one else has eaten. However, it takes a group of people to open a restaurant, which is a little tiring, and if you open a high-end teahouse, you can also sell it in a teahouse. Qu Wu said.

"I have a teahouse, Qingya teahouse, which is the highest grade in Yingdu, and there are also a few private rooms in it where you can eat, now I will take you to see it and drink tea there." Mi Hong said and went downstairs and asked Sun Shuao to invite Mrs. Mi Pan Hong.

Mrs. Mi was very happy to see Ziyan and Qu Wu coming, and after saluting each other, they came to Qingya Teahouse together under the leadership of Boss Mi Hong.

Qing Ya Tea House is a three-storey wooden tower building that stands on a high slope by the river.

In Yingdu, Qingya Teahouse is not a place where everyone can enter, except for the prohibition of entering without neat clothes, no financial resources will never dare to drink tea and listen to music here, because here, a pot of tea is a month's income for civilians.

On the forehead of the teahouse is the gilded signboard of Qingya Building. Next to the three strong and powerful characters in Qingya Building, there are three words of Pan Chong's inscription. If the three words of Qingyalou are signboards, the three words of Pan Zhen's inscription are the real golden words, in Yingdu, Taishi Pan Zhen is a character other than King Chumu.

Entering the door, it was the shopkeeper who saw the boss and his wife coming in person, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Passing through the lobby, there is a staircase behind the counter, and after going upstairs, the second floor is full of private rooms, Qu Wu and Ziyan are guided by Mr. and Mrs. Mi Hong to the verandah on the third floor of the highest floor to enjoy the view.

I saw all the scenery of the river at a glance, and the Yangtze River was sparkling under the reflection of the sun, and the momentum was extraordinary. Qu Wu saw this beautiful scenery, which was very consistent with the description in Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and couldn't help but recite this classic: "Connecting distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, endless; The morning sun is cloudy, and the weather is myriad. ”

Qu Wu paused, skipped a paragraph, and recited: "To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is light, and there is a blue sky; Sand gulls soar and gather, brocade scales swim, shore Zhi Tinglan, lush green. And or the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, and the still shadow is sinking; Fishing songs answer each other, what a joy this is! Dengsi Lou also, there is a relaxed heart, spoiled and forgotten, the wine to the wind, its joyful people. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Mi Hong and Zi Yan were surprised to see that Qu Wu read such beautiful sentences.

"Mr. Qu is really the best man in the world, and this beautiful essay can be famous all over the world." Qi Hong couldn't help but high-five and praise.

When Qu Wu saw the appreciative eyes of the three of them, he didn't feel a little embarrassed, his original intention was to express his feelings through Fan Zhongyan's words, but he didn't want to turn it into plagiarism.

"Mr. Qu, the words you said just now are so beautiful, let's go back to the inner room now, sort out your words and carve them into an inscription and erect them at the door of Qingya Building, can we?" Pan Hong said.

"No, it's not necessary, it's not systematic, and it's an improvisation, so I can't tell it all if I repeat it." Qu Wu hurriedly refused.

"Mr. Qu is too modest, it's a pity that this text is not recorded." Qi Hong also said.

Qu Wu was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to refuse, and he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to say: "I'll record it when I remember it." Let's go talk first. ”

Qu Wu finally moved the topic away, and everyone retreated to the teahouse.

On the third floor, along the window is a circle of tea-drinking rooms separated by screens, and in the middle are four small round tables. Mr. and Mrs. Mi Hong took Qu Wu and Zi Yan into a small private room.

Although the private room is not large, the decoration is very exquisite, the warm texture of the teak wood on the tea table, the exquisite carving, these furniture are like works of art, which is impressive.

The window lattice is actually covered with light silk, although it is opaque, but it has good light transmittance.

After sitting down, Qu Wu took out a box of exquisite West Lake Longjing tea from the bag he was carrying, and said to Qi Hong: "Boss Qi, I will bring a box of West Lake Longjing tea, let your waiter use this tea to make tea."

Qi Hong took the box of tea, looked at it, and didn't know how to open it, Qu Wu reached out and took it again, and opened the lid on it.

Inside the tea box was a small individually wrapped bag, and Qu Wu called the waiter to tell him how to brew it, and told him that the water should be boiled for a while, and only brewed when the water temperature was 80% low.

"Mr. Qu, this tea is produced in Gusu?" Qi Hong was a little curious, because he had never seen it.

"This is West Lake Longjing tea, from overseas." Qu Wu can't tell the truth, if it's from the future state of Wu?? They don't know how to react.

"Oh, it's exquisite, this box doesn't seem to be cast in bronze, but it looks like it's made of copper, how can it be so thin and delicate?"

"This packaging is also unique overseas, and the material is tinplate." Qu Wu said.

"Mr. Qu, the things you brought are really extraordinary, I don't know what is the origin of this West Lake Longjing?" Pan Hong asked.

The waiter brought the tea at this time.

Qu Wu took the teacup and said, "This West Lake Longjing is one of the green teas. You see, the tea is flat, smooth and straight, and the color is tender and green; The aroma is fresh and tender, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the bottom of the leaves is delicate and delicate. ”

Qi Hong took a sip and exclaimed: "Fresh and pleasant, it's really good tea."

"This tea is tea before the rain, it is picked during the period from Qingming to Guyu, the temperature is suitable at this time, the sunshine intensity is weak, and the precipitation is sufficient, so the buds and leaves are fresh and tender, the leaf quality contains luster, the buds and leaves are full, there are more hairy, and the color is tender and green." Qu Wu introduced.

"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Qu to be so proficient in tea, if you were the boss here, you would attract many celebrities and gentlemen." Qi Hong said.

"Boss Mi has won the award, and I just happen to know about this kind of tea. I have several other famous teas there, each with a different specialty, and so on. Qu Wu said.

"Huh? It's really exciting. Mr. Qu, if you can come here often to introduce tea, it will definitely be very popular. Qi Hong arched his hand and said.
