He was nearly forty years old, looking like a businessman, but he was wearing clothes made of fine silk and satin materials, he should be quite wealthy, he bowed his hands to Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng and said: "The contemptible person is Jizhou Tian Lang, who is engaged in some livestock trafficking business, and I heard that the playboy has more than a thousand horses to sell, and the contemptible people are interested in buying them, so he came to negotiate with the playboy!" ”

Liu Cheng asked, "Shopkeeper Tian, how did you know that we have more than a thousand horses for sale?" ”

Tian Lang said with a smile: "Contemptible people naturally have contemptible news channels, I don't know what price the playboy wants to sell?" ”

Hua Mulan looked at this Tian Lang, turned her head to look, pointed to a teahouse not far away, and said, "If the shopkeeper Tian doesn't dislike it, let's go to the teahouse in front to talk?" ”

Tian Lang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please!" ”

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the teahouse was still a new thing, it was called a teahouse, and it was a place for passing merchants to rest, until it became prosperous in the Song Dynasty, and it became an entertainment place, and the name also increased, what teahouse, tea house, tea stall and so on.

The three of them came to the teahouse and were led by Xiao Er to a single room by the window to sit.

Zhao Junsheng saw that the furnishings of this teahouse were not bad, and the people who settled here were generally people with some status, but the shopkeeper was carrying a big teapot and holding a few cups, and poured the tea from the big teapot into the cup.

"A few guest officers, please use it slowly!" Xiao Er said and turned around and left.

Na Tian Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip, praising it: "The tea in this teahouse is good!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped Xiao Er, who had already walked to the door: "Xiao Er, wait!" ”

The shopkeeper turned around and bowed back and said, "What else do you have to say, guest officer?" ”

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the big teapot and a few cups on the tea tray and said angrily: "Your teahouse uses these to send me away?" I'm here to taste tea, not to irrigate! ”

Hua Mulan and Tian Lang both looked at Zhao Junsheng with puzzled expressions, and the shopkeeper was also stunned for a while, and said, "Guest officer, aren't all the teahouses in the world entertaining guests like this?" ”

That's how you do it? This time it was Zhao Junsheng's turn to be stunned, he suddenly remembered that the tea saint Lu Yu seemed to be a native of the Tang Dynasty three hundred years later, and it would take more than three hundred years for "The Book of Tea" to be compiled by Lu Yu.

"What's that······ Go and bring a pot of boiling water, replace the cups, and bring a few more covered porcelain cups and fine tea leaves! Zhao Junsheng concealed his embarrassment and hurriedly commanded.

"Wait a minute, the little one will go!"

As soon as Xiao Er left, Mulan glanced at Tian Lang and asked Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, who are you?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "In the past two days, I have figured out a new way to make tea, and I will let you taste my craftsmanship later!" ”

In later generations, various methods of making and boiling tea emerged in an endless stream, and any one taken out was extremely fresh in this era.

After Xiao Er brought boiling water, a covered porcelain cup and tea leaves, Zhao Junsheng picked up the tea leaves and looked at them, then put them under his nose and smelled them, knowing that the quality of this tea can only be regarded as average, and it belongs to the hairy tip category of tea!

At this time, people drank tea either by putting tea leaves in a large teapot and brewing a large pot, while the more elegant literati first poured boiling water into the teacup and then put the tea leaves, without much attention.

He first rinsed the teacup with boiling water to keep the teacup at a high temperature, then put the tea leaves in three cups, washed the tea leaves first according to the method of later generations, poured out the initial tea, added water, and covered the teacup.

"Wait a moment!" Zhao Junsheng said with a smile.

Tian Lang then began to get to the point: "Dude, I don't know how many horses your family has to shoot?" ”

"About 1,200 horses, how much can the Tian shopkeeper eat?" Mulan asked.

Tian Lang said with a smile: "Of course, the contemptible wants to eat it all, it depends on what price the playboy can offer!" ”

Hua Mulan thought for a while and said to Tian Lang: "According to the current market price, the price of a low-class horse is between three and four yuan, the price of a medium-class horse is between eight and ten yuan, and the price of a high-class horse is between eighteen and twenty yuan!" The specific price, the shopkeeper Tian can follow me to Huajiabao to see the horses and then discuss, I don't know what the shopkeeper Tian thinks? ”

Tian Lang waved his hand and smiled: "It's not a secret, the contemptible people have already seen the horses in Guibao, so there is no need to look at it again!" In this way, whether it is an inferior horse, a medium horse, or a superior horse, the contemptible people will pay the highest price, but the contemptible people have a request, ask the playboy to send these horses to Xie Jiaji! ”

Hua Mulan was puzzled and said, "Shopkeeper Tian, my Huajiabao is selling horses, but I am not responsible for escorting the guards!" Shopkeeper Tian can spend money to hire someone to escort him along the way, you won't even be reluctant to pay for this money, right? ”

Tian Lang hurriedly smiled and said: "The playboy misunderstood, it's not that I, Tian, am reluctant to give up this few dollars, who doesn't know your prestige on the border of Suiyang?" Who dares not to give you the face of a dude in black and white within a radius of 100 miles? Playboy, you also know that there are a few places between Huajiabao and Xie Jiaji that are not very peaceful, and the purchase of more than 1,000 horses is a lot of money, and Tian someone can't afford to lose it! The reason why I want to ask the playboy to send the horse to Xie Jiaji for trading is to borrow the prestige of the playboy! You see, how about I give me an extra two hundred dollars for the errands of the guards of Huajiabao? ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart when he heard this, yesterday he was still forced to be very troubled by Wang Xingyuan's arrears of fifty yuan, and now the shopkeeper of this field actually opened his mouth to pay two hundred yuan for the people of Huajiabao to run.

However, Zhao Junsheng faintly felt that something was wrong, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't think of it for a while.

Hua Mulan thought for a moment and said: "I understand what the shopkeeper Tian meant, you let us send the horses to Xie Jiaji and then trade, and my Huajiabao also has to bear a certain risk, so I asked the shopkeeper Tian to pay half of the money first, and now I have 600 inferior horses, 400 medium horses, and 200 high-class horses, a total of 10,000 yuan, so the Tian shopkeeper has to pay 5,000 yuan first, if the Tian shopkeeper agrees, after receiving half of the arrears, he will immediately arrange for people and personally lead the team to send 1,200 horses to Xiejiaji, how about it?" ”

Tian Lang showed a smile on his face, and immediately said: "The deal is made, but Tian can only pay the bill with gold cakes, and it is too much to use five baht coins, which is inconvenient to carry!" Please also ask the playboy to say a random place in Suiyang City, and tomorrow Tian will bring someone to deliver the money! ”

Hua Mu said: "There is a Hua Ji leather store in the south of the city, which is my shop in Huajiabao, and Hua will wait for the shopkeeper Tian there!" ”

"Very good, very good!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "The tea is just right, come on, drink tea!" Mr. Tian, congratulations on our happy cooperation! ”

"Happy working together?" Tian Lang was almost confused by the mantra brought by Zhao Junsheng from the afterlife, but he quickly reacted, "Yes, yes, happy cooperation!" ”

Tian Lang took the teacup, opened the lid, and a fragrance came to his face, and he immediately became intoxicated, "It's so fragrant······ Well, good tea, good tea, I didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhao to figure out such a way to make tea! ”

Hua Mulan was also stunned when she picked up the teacup, she had drunk a lot of good tea, but she had never been so fragrant as now.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse walked in quickly and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, it's not good, there are a few officials at the door of your shop, and they seem to be not good at coming, so hurry up and go back and have a look!" ”

Servants? Zhao Junsheng's face changed, and he immediately got up and said to Tian Lang: "Shopkeeper Tian, if I have something in the store, I will go first!" ”

Hua Mulan also immediately stood up and hugged her fists at Tian Lang and said, "Shopkeeper Tian, our matter is so decided, I will be waiting for you in the leather store in the south of the city tomorrow morning!" ”

After paying for the tea, the two hurried to the shop.
