Chapter 33 Naming
Wang Ran stopped a few more scholars on the street and repeated the previous statement, and when they heard that there was free tea, they also followed Wang Ran into the store.
Wang Ran waited like this for about a quarter of an hour, and when he saw that there were already four or five tables of customers sitting in the store, and he didn't seem so deserted, he didn't go out anymore, and stood aside waiting for tea and water.
I saw that some of the guests at the table took a sip of tea and closed their eyes and indulged for a while, some shouted and argued about how good this tea was, and some even began to shake their heads and chant poems, in short, they all looked like they were impressed by this tea, Wang Ran and Lin Jiuniang breathed a long sigh of relief, and the stone in their hearts fell.
Suddenly, I heard the whispers of people outside the door, and after a while, I saw Su Daya leading three people into the store, Su Daya first asked the three people to sit down, and then hurriedly shouted: "Jiuniang, Wang Qi brothers, come on, I will introduce you to a few nobles." ”
Lin Jiuniang and Wang Ran hurriedly stepped forward, and Su Daya bent his arm and pointed to the old man sitting opposite him and introduced, "This is Master Chen, the teacher of our Chengdu Mansion. Then he pointed to the two elegant young men sitting on both sides and said, "These two are Yan Gongsheng and Sun Gongsheng. Su Daya waved his hand to the three of them before saying to Lin Jiuniang and Wang Ran: "These three are quite elegant figures in Jinguan City, I specially invite these three gentlemen to taste your new tea today, whether this tea can become famous in this Jinguan City, it all depends on the golden words of others." ”
Lin Jiuniang hurriedly made a blessing, and then said with a happy face: "Thank you for the three big officials." ”
Wang Ran also bowed his hand, and then turned back to the counter to get tea. He put the three bowls of tea in front of the three of them one by one according to his dignity and humility, and Chen Jiaoyu bowed his head slightly to show his gratitude, and then took the lead in opening the lid of the bowl, and couldn't help but be stunned when he looked down.
Wang Ran secretly rejoiced, in order to make this tea show the most beautiful appearance, he specially asked Su Daya to help find a few Dingzhou white porcelain tea bowls, and in order to highlight the integrity and beauty of the tea leaves, he directly put the tea leaves into the tea bowl to brew, anyway, this fried tea is very easy to taste, but the taste will be light.
Therefore, at this time, Chen Jiaoyu saw the vast tea soup like a lake set off by transparent white porcelain, coupled with the rich tea fragrance hitting the nose, and it was already soaked into the heart and spleen without drinking. Yan Gongsheng and Sun Gongsheng next to him saw that Chen Jiaoyu had an intoxicated expression before he drank it, so they also opened the lid of the bowl in front of them, and they couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Jiuniang quietly gave Wang Ran a thumbs up, Wang Ran smiled implicitly, and then said, "Three big officials, please tea!" ”
Only then did the three of them come back to their senses, glanced at each other, carefully picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip of tea soup with anticipation.
After a moment of silence, the three of them opened their slightly closed eyes, and their eyes lit up and said in unison: "Good tea!" ”
Sectarian Chen couldn't help but take another sip, then shook his head and said, "The muscles and bones are clear, and the immortal spirit is clear!" The two armpits are accustomed to the breeze, and they want to go back with this breeze! ”
Lin Jiuniang was puzzled, and whispered to Wang Ran: "What do you mean?" This old man drank our tea, can he become an immortal? ”
Wang Ran smiled and replied in a low voice: "This is the poem of Lu Tong, the tea fairy of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Tong felt that the taste was very good after drinking the new tea given by his friend Meng Jian, so he wrote a poem and sighed, then Lu Tong drank the seventh bowl before he felt that "the armpit is breezy", this Chen Jiaoyu only drank two sips and "wanted to return by the wind", it seems that if the tea fairy drank our tea, he would have to be fan. ”
Lin Jiuniang was overjoyed, and her excited face was flushed with two pieces of pink, which could be described as a spring breeze and a smile like a flower.
The three of them shook their heads for a while after taking a sip of tea, and did not put down the bowl until they finished drinking the tea, and Yan Gongsheng asked, "How is this tea roasted?" How can it taste like this? ”
"The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about." Wang Ran said politely, Lin Jiuniang has carefully explained, this tea roasting method is his unique skill, and it must not be easily said to outsiders, not even Lin Jiuniang herself. Besides, if the roasted tea method is spread to the outside world now, I am afraid that the tea field of the government will benefit the most, which is equivalent to cheapening Qi Yuanzhen, and Wang Ran is naturally unwilling.
A trotter dared to refuse to answer his question, Yan Gongsheng was not happy, and said angrily: "I don't know what to do, I can only afford to look down on ......you."
"Bohong, don't be rude, this is the foundation of people's lives, so naturally I don't want to talk about others easily." Chen Jiaoyu reprimanded Yan Gongsheng, and then said to Wang Ran and Lin Jiuniang: "I'm sorry, Bo Hong was abrupt. But I'm also a little curious, this tea is really unheard of, what is the name of this tea? ”
"My generation is vulgar, and I don't dare to name it arbitrarily, for fear of being laughed at and generous." Wang Ran said respectfully.
Su Daya also said earnestly: "Yes, we are all rough people, unlike a few people who are full of poetry and books, or ask Master Chen to give this tea a name today." ”
Chen Jiaoyu humbly excused himself a few times, but under the kindness of Su Daya and Lin Jiuniang, he had no choice but to agree. He looked down at the tea in the bowl and thought about it, this tea will definitely be famous in the future, if it can be named by himself today, it is indeed an elegant matter, so this name should not only be appropriate, but also have style, in order to be worthy of such good tea, and live up to the old man's education.
After a while, Chen Jiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and said leisurely: "This tea soup is clear in color, rich in taste, and the teeth and cheeks are sweet after drinking, which makes people flutter like immortals. ”
"Good name!" Everyone praised in unison, and they all felt that this name was both appropriate and dusty, which was really appropriate, so the roasted tea of the Wang Family Tea Workshop was officially named - Xianhao Tea.
Su Daya and the others naturally touted it again, praising the name to the sky, Lin Jiuniang couldn't hold back her joy, and turned her head to introduce to the other customers in the workshop: "Customers, our tea can be loved by you today, the little lady is really happy." In addition, Chen Fuzi, who has just learned from our Chengdu Mansion, also named this tea, and this tea will be called Xianhao Tea in the future, do you say okay? ”
The drinkers were naturally amazed, saying that the name was so good, or that Master Chen was knowledgeable, and Chen Jiaoyu was also full of self-satisfaction, and he almost broke his beard with joy, although he drank tea, but it made him drunk even more than drinking.
Lin Jiuniang hit the railway while it was hot: "Thank you for your support, the small shop is a token of gratitude, and you will not be charged a penny for drinking tea today, and please help recommend one or two after you go back." But there is not much tea left now, if you have friends who also love tea, it is better to invite them to drink together, otherwise you will come again tomorrow, and the store will have to charge according to the price. ”
The customers were happy and anxious, and quickly drank the tea in the pot, and then ran back to call friends, inviting people to drink this Xianhao tea, even Chen Jiaoyu hurriedly left, and in a blink of an eye this tea shop was empty, but I believe that after a while, it will be full.
is really worthy of the shrewd and capable Lin Jiuniang, Wang Ran and Su Daya both showed admiration, which made Lin Jiuniang feel uncomfortable.
Wang Ran hurriedly went to clean up the table to welcome the upcoming flow of guests, but saw that the Confucian scholar named Gong Xi was still sitting there drinking himself, so he stepped forward and asked, "Isn't Gong Gongzi going to invite some friends and family members to drink together?" ”
Gong Xi shook his head and sighed: "Nothing... Not... Friends, in... At... This Chengdu... Nor no... No family. ”
Wang Ran apologized: "I'm sorry, it's me who has a lot of trouble." ”
Gong Xi smiled, and then asked a little nervously: "It's okay, I want to... Think... Ask, this... This tea... In the future..."
"Gong Gongzi wants to ask how much this tea will sell for in the future, right?" Lin Jiuniang on the side blurted out, not intentionally humiliating, but she was already an impatient, and listening to Gong Xi's slow speech was really a bit torture for her. Lin Jiuniang also felt a little offended after speaking, apologized to Gong Xi, and then said coolly: "Don't worry, this tea will only sell for sixty wen a pot in the future." ”
After that, seeing Gong Xi's face was first happy, and then a little gloomy, he must have been shy in his pocket, and felt that he couldn't drink this Xianhao often in the future, Lin Jiuniang said cheerfully: "But Gong Gongzi must be more preferential, you are the first guest to patronize the small shop today, and the name is so auspicious, which also adds blessings to the small shop, and Gong Gongzi will come to drink tea in the future, and the small shop will only charge twenty wen a pot." ”
Gong Xi is indeed an honest and generous person, Lin Jiuniang's words may feel humiliating if others hear this, but Gong Xi felt very warm and grateful: "Many... Thank you, mother... Mother... Wife. ”
"People aren't your mothers." Lin Jiuniang was in a good mood at this time, and felt that this Gong Xi was really honest and cute, so she couldn't help but make fun again, and when she saw Gong Xi, she was really blushing, and said with a smile: "Gong Gongzi will come often in the future, and when the time comes, my sister will help you match, so that you can have a real lady who can thank you every day." ”
Gong Xi's face was even redder and about to drip blood, and he couldn't speak for a long time, which made Wang Ran and Lin Jiuniang very happy, and the store was filled with bursts of laughter, mixed with Wang Daju's yawn.
The autumn sky is cloudless, and the sunlight shines through the doors and windows, sprinkling dappled sun shadows on the square table benches, making this Wang family teahouse look extremely warm and peaceful.
