Yuan Zhao naturally didn't know that the pair of sisters and brothers in the Jianzhang Palace were starting to plan something about him. He is now fully committed to making a fortune.

The two shops in Fan Xue Lou have already made a name for themselves. Especially in this era when I don't know what "advertising and marketing" is, with the name of "tribute tea", the impact is not ordinary.

Some time ago, some ministers of the court and the central government were fortunate to drink this kind of tea at the banquet of the Empress Dowager Dou, and they all deeply sighed that there was such a thing in the world.

Later, I learned that this method of drinking tea originated in Chang'an recently, and now it is quite popular in Shilin!

The noble ministers drank the greasy and bitter oil soup tea at home, and when they remembered the kind of tea they drank in Changle Palace, they felt more and more that this was a god and horse thing to drink! When I heard the news that the servants had come back, I couldn't help but squirt out!

What the? What the! Empress Dowager Dou's tea was actually produced in Chang'an City? Been popular for a while? You fools! Such a good thing didn't even know to come back and report? Hurry up and shop! No matter what the price...... Go now!

The old man is angry, this is worth it! So, the butlers and guards of the noble ministers of the various families went out in person, inquired about the address, and went straight to the Fan Xue Tower.

However, when these people rushed to Fanxue Building in Green Willow Lane, took out the silver and slapped it on the counter, shouting to buy a few catties of tea, the fat money shopkeeper behind the counter spread his hands with a smile, saying that there was no goods now.

Out of stock? Everyone looked at each other a little dumbfounded, and they were so anxious that they remembered their master's face when they came out, and they were afraid that they would be scolded when they returned empty-handed, so they slapped the counter and made a lot of noise, so they had to buy the goods, otherwise they would demolish your small teahouse!

The money shopkeeper was not impatient, and always greeted him with a smile, only saying that there was no goods. Seeing that a few guys were making too much trouble, there were guests drinking tea and chatting looking over here.

The shopkeeper arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, this teahouse has always been only for guests to drink tea and sit in the past, and rarely sell it to the outside world, but it has only recently been launched...... Uh, this business. "Although I have studied for so long, when it comes to Yuanzhao's set of words, Lao Qian is still a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the scene was too noisy, he raised his voice: "Therefore, in a hurry, it is inevitable that you will not be prepared enough, and wait for two or three days, and it will not be too late for you to come again." Ah, sorry sorry. ”

I didn't expect that some guys were arrogant after all, and when I heard that I would have to stay for a few days, I couldn't help but feel a little unclean in my mouth.

"You little tea seller, what kind of score do you put on? Believe it or not, grandpa, I'm going to smash this deal for you right now!"

"yes, yes! Dare to offend our buddies, and don't ask what my Hou Ye is doing!"

"Do you want to do it anymore or what? Hum....... ”

The money shopkeeper was not angry, just smiled and pointed to the door of the building.

"Ladies and gentlemen! If you want to smash this teahouse, you can go and smash that sign first! ”

"What? Brand? What a broken brand......!"

Sure enough, I went to the door to take a few looks, only to see a thick wooden sign set up on the left side of the door, on which the four big characters "Imperial Tribute Tea" were vigorous and simple.

"Imperial tribute tea is a god thing! Just because of this, you want to scare grandpa? Ha ha...... Ridiculous!"

Who can fool you if you can write a few words? I don't inquire in Chang'an City, is Ma Sanye so easy to fool? ”

A few people were talking loudly, when they suddenly heard someone in the guest seat say coldly: "What a big boldness! When will it be your turn to call the shots in Chang'an City! Yes? ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, hey, what kind of nosy person is this! The people in front of them turned their heads arrogantly, and were about to open their mouths to scold a few words, but suddenly swallowed the dirty words that came to their mouths again, and lowered their heads like frosted eggplants and didn't dare to say anything.

The one behind didn't touch the situation, and continued to shout, someone whispered something, and finally gradually quieted down. The person who spoke there before was thin and thin, with a serious face, eyes and eyes, and a faint evil aura on his sideburns and eyebrows.

These governors of various prefectures who have been walking in Chang'an City all the year round are people with bright eyes and quick legs, and when they saw that they had encountered this evil star, after a while, this small team of tea buyers who were still vigorous just now dispersed.

A small storm is invisible. It inevitably made Yuan Zhao, who stayed in the corner of the counter and watched the excitement, feel a little bored. And the money shopkeeper walked over there and gave a salute: "Thank you a lot for Lord Ji for upholding justice today."

It turned out that this person just now was Chang'an Ling Jidian. This person has a lonely temperament, and has never been a prosperous place for wine and banquets, but he has a soft spot for pure places, and has recently become a frequent visitor to Fanxue Tower.

Ji Huang didn't have many friends, today it was Taizhong Doctor Zheng who asked him to come here for a small talk, and there were also old friends Guangluxun Doctor Wang Hui and Yao Shang of the Mansion.

A few people were talking about the various rumors of the Autumn Siege of the Son of Heaven just now, although the ministers should not speculate on the holy will in private, but such a small range of discussions is always inevitable, after all, every move of the Son of Heaven may be related to the interests of every courtier.

Seeing the money shopkeeper coming, several people stopped chatting. Ji Di waved his hand, signaling that the money shopkeeper did not need to be polite. Several scholars in the adjacent seat also recognized this Lord Chang'an Ling, and at this time they left their seats and bowed their hands to him to express their admiration.

Ji Di also arched his hand, which was considered a return of the courtesy. Turning his head to the people sitting in the same seat, he said: "The world is peaceful, the arrogant and comfortable style of the noble family is flourishing, the servants are crisscrossing the streets, there are many illegal things, and bullying is not uncommon. If it goes on like this, there will be a lot of trouble. Alas! After all, the strength in the government is still too weak, and I can't take care ......of it. ”

Zheng nodded at that time, and glanced at Wang Hui, both of whom deeply shared Ji Di's worries. After a few words, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Seeing this situation, Yao Shang wanted to explain it, picked up the tea cup in his hand, gently took a sip of the fragrance, and couldn't help but admire: "This tea is indeed the best thing to drink, and the three lamps taste it, which can relieve your worries!" Why don't you put aside your worries about the country and the people for the time being, and relax for half a day to solve the case?"

Wang Hui laughed: "It's still Master Yao who knows your master, he is in that position, and he does have too many responsibilities!" It's time to combine work and rest and take time to relax. ”

It turned out that Yao Shang was famous for his wisdom, although he was only an official, but it was because he was grateful for the kindness of Ji Di's early years, so he was willing to follow. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have already achieved the position of a county.

A smile appeared on Ji Di's face, and he sighed slightly: "Yes, if it weren't for Master Yao helping me deal with a lot of tedious affairs in the past few years, and reminding me from time to time by my side, the situation would have been even more unbearable!"

Yao Shang waved his hand again and again and said a few words of humility, saying that he could not afford such a good reputation. Since the relationship between them is a close friend, they naturally don't need those cheesy politenesses, just stop at the point.

Then the topic changed and I talked about the new tea I tasted today.

"Money shopkeeper, your kind of Fanxue Lou's exclusive tea is really good. I heard you just say that it will be officially released in large quantities in three days, is that true?" Zheng asked, rubbing his chin beard.

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and said, "If you go back to Lord Zheng, you have this plan." Only because the production of new tea is complicated, the heat is extremely difficult to master, a batch of good tea, it takes several procedures to complete, not to mention manpower and material resources. Alas! I won't talk about the hardships to a few adults. ”

According to Yuan Zhao's instructions, the money shopkeeper said nonsense seriously, but his old face was a little red.

These people are all honest officials, all have the same heart of compassion for the people, hearing that this thing is so difficult to make, they can't help but nod and sigh, the rare thing is really hard-won!

The money shopkeeper couldn't help but smile and looked back at Yuan Zhao not far away, and saw that he was listening attentively and raised his eyebrows at himself, and he had great confidence in the next flicker.

Sure enough, Wang Hui, who had been an envoy to a foreign country, asked, "Then, may I ask the shopkeeper, if this thing is sold, what is the price?" The three of them also looked up at him, looking very concerned.

The shopkeeper coughed, cleared his throat, and looked helpless: "Originally, our Fanxue Lou was also a small business, and we developed this new tea, but we just planned to use it as an attempt to give it to our old customers." Who knew that the heaven-given gospel was somehow liked by the ancestors of Changle Palace that day! The chief manager of the palace came to make special purchases. Tell me, from now on, this tea has been named an imperial tribute tea, and we can't make a mistake in Fanxue Building! The tea must be worthy of this title, otherwise wouldn't it be a discredit to the ancestors of the Empress Dowager Dou? Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that's the case?"

A few people were confused and asked you how much silver the tea priced! Why did you go to the Empress Dowager Dou again?

However, his words are not nonsense, except for Yao Shang, the other three have participated in the banquet of the Empress Dowager Dou, and it was at that time that they tasted this kind of tea for the first time, and they knew that the Empress Dowager Dou did love this kind of tea.

The money shopkeeper seemed to have anticipated their doubts, and signaled with a smile not to worry, and continued: "So, the requirements for making it are high!" It is a selection of trees, checks at all levels, the tea produced by Fan Xuelou is absolutely high-quality, worthy of the title of tribute tea. Therefore, the price that Lord Wang asked was ....... ”

At this point, he paused slightly, just about to say a high price that he had come up with.

"Naturally, the price will be higher, so as to ensure continuous supply in the future. Well, it's about five taels of silver a catty. ”

The money shopkeeper originally wanted to say that it was ten yuan, but the price was already higher. When I heard this, I swallowed what I was about to say in my mouth, and I almost bit my tongue! He turned his face with difficulty, and looked at Yuan Zhao who didn't know when he was standing beside him.

And Ji Di, who was taking a sip of tea into his mouth, couldn't hold back, and squirted out all the puffs, choking and coughing. Yao Shang, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly patted him on the back and straightened it out for a long time before he eased up.

The other people couldn't get any better, and they were shocked by Yuan Zhao's price.

Ji Di didn't care to reprimand the chubby shopkeeper who was twitching his face and didn't know what expression he was. He pointed at Yuan Zhao, and he didn't know if he was angry or choked and trembled a little: "You, you, you little baby, the milk smell has not dried up!" How can there be such an outrageous price? I think that the officials of our first month are not enough to drink your tea! It really doesn't make sense. Today, I don't want to make it clear, I don't want to teach you a lesson for your family!"
