"Gu Jinli, you slut!"

The pool water is not deep, only to the waist, but Gu Jinyao's body is dirty.

Embarrassed to climb up, she couldn't help but scold.

"Second brother!" When Yu Guang swept to the oncoming Gu Nian, she said loudly and aggrievedly: "Second brother, Gu Jinli, this little slut, she pushed me!" ”

Gu Nianshi knew that Gu Jinyao had always been a little tail behind Gu Jinxiu, and he didn't like Gu Jinli the most, so he pursed his lips, and he said with a little displeasure: "Fourth sister, how did you talk?" ”

"Second brother, Gu Jinli has two faces in front of her and behind her, you don't know her true face at all!" Gu Jinyao pulled Gu Nianshi's sleeve with her dirty hand, gritted her teeth and continued to scold: "A lowly person who King Ning doesn't even bother to look at it, and has the face to come back and set up a shelf for us, it's really ......."

"Smack!" Before Gu Jinyao scolded the "Tian shameless" in her mouth, she saw a heavy slap in the face.

This slap not only blinded Gu Jinyao, but even Gu Jinli and Hexiang were stunned in disbelief.

"Second brother...... You beat me for her? Gu Jinyao covered her face with one hand, pointed at Gu Jinli with the other, and shouted with red eyes: "You have followed me in everything since you were a child, but you beat me for this slut!" ”

Gu Nianshi's eyebrows were full of anger, and he said with a calm face: "I saw everything just now, you apologize to Jinli quickly." ”

There should be a limit to messing around, now that Gu Jinli is the concubine of King Ning, she is a member of the royal family, if Gu Jinyao continues to be so open-mouthed, it will definitely cause a catastrophe!

Moreover, it's one thing for Gu Jinli not to care about Gu Jinyao, as Gu Jinyao's brother, if he lets her act so willfully and recklessly, it will be his fault.

"Impossible! Even if you beat me to death, I won't apologize to a slut! Gu Jinyao turned her head and glared at Gu Jinli viciously, a trace of ruthlessness crossed her eyes, and she ran away without looking back.

"Jinli...... The fourth sister has been spoiled by my mother and me over the years. Looking at the back of Gu Jinyao leaving, Gu Nianshi said in a guilty tone: "I'm sorry." ”

Gu Jinli shook her head with a smile. said lightly: "Second brother, I know that the fourth sister is not bad-eyed, but she just has some misunderstandings about me, so don't worry, I won't go to my heart." ”

In fact, she only said half of what she said, although Gu Jinyao's mouth was a little poisonous, and it was not bad to the extent of the eldest lady and Gu Jinxiu, but she was a complete idiot, and she didn't know that she was being used......

A small face is not powdered, but a pair of pear vortices are shallow when they laugh, which makes people's hearts move.

Gu Nianshi looked at Gu Jinli carefully, and then recalled Gu Jinyao who scolded like a shrew just now. Deeply disappointed.

is also a young lady, there is such a big difference in temperament between self-cultivation and gestures?

"Jinli, you ......" Gu Nian wanted to say something, but the atmosphere was really too embarrassing, and he didn't know how to continue the topic.

Thinking that she had to go to the teahouse to take a look, Gu Jinli said gently: "Second brother, I still have some things, let's go back to the palace for the time being." ”

Gu Nianshi nodded, watching Gu Jinli and Hexiang leave.

With a helpless sigh, he walked towards Gu Jinyao's courtyard.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Jinli and Hexiang took a carriage to a ready-to-wear shop and sent the coachman away. The two of them changed into men's clothes.

First, the carriage has the logo of Ning Wangfu, which is too eye-catching.

Second, she went out to do something this time, and the woman's identity was inconvenient.

Walking on the street, Gu Jinli saw that Hexiang always touched the personal silver ticket from time to time, so she smiled and said: "If you touch it again, those thieves will target you!" ”

After hearing this, Hexiang immediately put her hand down, vigilantly searched the crowd, and whispered: "Xiao...... Childe, do you really want to buy that teahouse? That's a lot of money! ”

Gu Jinli took a few steps. She shook her fan, looked up at the teahouse in the last photo, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of this teahouse?" ”

Hexiang said: "It looks very new, and the location is good, but I don't know why there are so few guests." ”

Gu Jinli closed the fan, raised her eyebrows and said, "Just go in and take a look." ”

With that, she strode directly into the teahouse.

"Ouch, two sons, please come in!"

It was probably the entire teahouse, and there were less than ten guests on the three floors, and the shopkeeper was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Gu Jinli and Hexiang.

Gu Jinli smiled, and said as she walked to the second floor: "Here's a pot of Biluochun." ”

"Great!" The shopkeeper answered and hurriedly prepared to go.

After arriving on the second floor, Gu Jinli found a seat near the window and sat down.

While carefully observing the nearby merchants, she looked at the interior of the teahouse.

Opposite is the largest restaurant, Baiyulou, the business is very hot, and the carriage parked at the door will occupy most of the street.

Next to it is an antique shop, a calligraphy and painting shop, a rouge shop, etc., but there is also a teahouse, although the scale is not as large as this one, but there are more customers than here.

"Childe, your tea is ready." Soon, the shopkeeper came up with tea.

Gu Jinli didn't drink it directly, but first looked at the color of the tea, smelled it again, and then asked, "Little Er, what kind of water do you use to make tea?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Back to Gongzi, it's the well water in the backyard." ”

After tasting it, she tasted it again and asked, "When was the tea made?" ”

Originally, there were not many guests, but finally someone came, and when Gu Jinli asked, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel nervous, "Tea is this year's summer tea, son, is there any problem?" ”

Gu Jinli put down the cup and shook her head: "Little brother, don't worry, there's no problem." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." ”

"Still." Gu Jinli shook the teacup and said lightly: "If you want to talk about it in detail, there are still some problems." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man who came out of the private room next door passed by, and when he heard Gu Jinli's words, he blurted out: "What's the problem?" ”

Gu Jinli looked at him, guessed his identity, and continued: "Water is to tea what water is to fish, so the ancients said, 'Fish get water active, tea gets more fragrance, color, and taste'." ”

"Only water that meets the five standards of source, live, sweet, clear and light can be regarded as good water."

The middle-aged man sat down and asked, "Dare to ask Childe, what is the source, life, sweetness, purity, and lightness?" ”

"Source, refers to where the water comes from; Living refers to water that has a source and is constantly flowing; Gan, which means that the water has a slightly sweet taste; Clear. It means that the water quality is clean and clear; Light means light weight. ”

"Spring water is the best water source, followed by rain and snow water, and well water is the lowest."

Seeing that the boss and the shopkeeper listened carefully, Gu Jinli said again: "Among spring tea, summer tea, and autumn tea, it is generally said that the quality of spring tea is the best, because the tea tree has accumulated nutrients after a winter and spring, and the nutrients are sufficient, and it tastes mellow and sweet......

"Of course, in addition to tea and water, there are a few things to pay attention to when making a good pot of tea. Before making tea, you need to scald the teapot with boiling water, which can remove the odor in the pot, and the hot pot can help to volatilize the aroma of the tea. ”

"For your tea, you choose the best well water, and you use summer tea, so there are few guests."

"Papapa", the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper applauded unanimously after hearing it.

Especially the shopkeeper, looking at Gu Jinli's eyes was a strange appreciation, "Wonderful, wonderful!" I really didn't expect that making a pot of tea would be so knowledgeable! ”

After that, he sighed ashamedly and said, "Alas, no wonder I have opened this teahouse for three months, and there are few customers, so it is!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Boss, don't be discouraged, what this boy said just now, remember the little ones, our teahouse business will definitely improve!" ”

patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, and the boss stood up and prepared to go downstairs, "Fugui, I'm going back to the countryside in a few days, and I plan to close this teahouse." ”

"Boss, please stay!" Gu Jinli immediately stopped the boss and said with a smile: "Since the boss is going to close this shop, I don't know if you have already found a good home?" ”

The boss shook his head, "I opened this teahouse, I wanted to earn some silver in Beijing to subsidize my wife and children in the countryside, but I couldn't make ends meet, so I thought it would be better to go back to my hometown to farm." ”

Gu Jin's eyes flickered, and he got up and said, "In that case, how about the boss transfer it to Zaixia?" The price is negotiable. ”

The boss was stunned and a little surprised, "Childe really wants to buy this teahouse?" ”

Gu Jinli nodded, and then instructed Hexiang to take out the silver ticket, "The boss will make a price." ”

"This ......" was probably a bit sudden, and the boss didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that the boss was embarrassed, Gu Jinli had a flash of inspiration and said, "Boss, I have an idea." ”

"I'll buy this teahouse, you are still the boss, the teahouse can be managed how it should be managed, and the guys in our store don't have to quit, is this feasible?"

"Huh?" The boss didn't seem to understand what Gu Jinli meant, and said puzzledly: "I'm still the boss?" ”

Gu Jinli unfolded the fan and coughed lightly, "I see that the boss is also a loyal and honest person, so I will tell the truth to the boss." I really fancy the location of this teahouse, so I want to take it down. ”

"It's just that my family is a bit special. It's not convenient for me to come forward and do business. Besides, what if I find someone to take care of the store again? Annoying, and the boss you have been working for three months, and you are familiar with the guys, I will pay you every month in the future, and you will continue to help me do it, how about it? ”

After a pause, she added, "Regardless of the loss, your wages will be counted in my account." ”

The boss and the guys listened to it, looked at each other, and still had some doubts.

Is there really such a good thing in this world?

Gu Jinli was not in a hurry, sat down and drank another cup of tea.

After thinking about it, the boss said: "I was in the teahouse for eight hundred taels of silver, and the guys' wages were two taels of silver a month. I...... My salary, childe, you can watch and give it! ”

"Okay, the boss is a cheerful person!" Gu Jinli took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and handed it to the shopkeeper: "This is 1,000 taels, which is counted as the money I used to buy this teahouse." ”

instructed the shopkeeper to get a pen and paper, and she set up a note.

"The boss's basic salary is five taels of silver a month, and the shopkeeper is three taels a month. If the business is good, the money will be processed according to the flow of customers. ”

After pressing a handprint, Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Is the boss still satisfied with this salary?" ”

The boss nodded excitedly, and then shook his head again and again, "The little one's name is Chen Liang, son, you are now the owner of the teahouse, but you can't call the little boss anymore!" ”

Gu Jinli motioned for Chen Liang to sign and press his handprint, and his tone was a little lower: "Chen Liang, I can't come to the teahouse often, so there must be a boss on the surface, and you don't need to excuse yourself." However, you must calculate the accounts for me every month, and I will send someone to check the accounts from time to time. ”

Looking at Gu Jinli's extraordinary aura, it must be the son of a big family, where did Chen Liang dare to make fake accounts or something?

Besides, people are willing to buy a teahouse at such a high price and pay him so much wages, how can he be ungrateful to do such unkind things?

Pressing the handprint, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help Gongzi take care of the teahouse." ”

While walking to the third floor, Gu Jinli said, "Well, this teahouse needs to be rectified a little." ”

"Childe, please tell me what you want." Chen Liang followed behind, holding a pen and immediately recording Gu Jinli's words.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Gu Jinli walked out of the teahouse with lotus fragrance in a good mood.

Before leaving the house, she asked Hexiang to find her a copy of "The Book of Tea", and what she said to the boss was just words in the book.

And the boss has long wanted to sell the teahouse, and she has long wanted to buy it. This also saves her a lot of words.

It's nice that everything went so smoothly as soon as it hit it off!

"Hexiang, go to the White Jade Tower!" Shaking the fan, Gu Jinli only heard about Bai Yulou's reputation, but never went in.

Now that it's out today, you must go and take a look.

Otherwise, next time, I really don't know the Year of the Monkey before I can get out of the house......

Hexiang was stunned for a moment and followed.

After stepping into the White Jade Tower, not only Hexiang's eyes widened in surprise, but even Gu Jinli couldn't help but applaud after seeing the furnishings inside.

The hall is very spacious, can accommodate hundreds of people, in the middle is a rectangular stand, the stands are surrounded by white jade, and there are several colorful small lanterns hanging under the railing, the light is projected on the jade, which is extremely beautiful.

The ground is also made of jade polished tiles, and you can see the projection of people when you walk on it, and the peach trees around it are lined up, which makes people mistakenly think that they have entered the peach forest fairyland.

He Xiang looked at the decoration in the restaurant curiously, and said with emotion: "Little ...... Childe, this white jade building is so unique, no wonder it is the first restaurant! ”

"Two guest officers, have you booked a private room in advance?" When the shopkeeper saw the visitor, he stepped forward and asked.

Gu Jinli didn't know that Bai Yulou still had to make an appointment in advance, so she shook her head and said, "No." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Childe, I'm sorry, the private room is full today, but there is still a table in the hall on the second floor with a seat, I don't know if you mind sharing the table with other people?" ”

"This ......" After hesitating for a while, Gu Jinli readily agreed, "Okay." ”

Walking up from the first floor, Gu Jinli saw that every table was really full of people, and her heart became even more curious.

In addition to the peculiar furnishings, what else is special about this white jade building?

"Childe, this way." took Gu Jinli to the back of a remote table in the corner. The shopkeeper left.

There was really a man sitting at the table, the man was dressed in purple, with a jade face and red lips, a graceful and suave look, a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his expression was indistinguishable.

Judging from the dress and the temperament exuded by the body, this person's identity must not be an ordinary person.

"Childe, do you want to be a subordinate......" Before Gu Jinli sat down, the guard behind the purple-clothed man touched the blade on his waist with a fierce face.

The man shook his head, his gaze only fell on Gu Jinli's fair face, and then he looked away.

Gu Jinli's heart jumped. But seeing that the man continued to bow his head and taste tea, and the guard did not make any other moves, he was relieved.

A pot of tea is prepared at each table in advance, the tea is free, you need to do it yourself, if you need to serve the food, then you have to greet the shopkeeper waiting at the staircase.

Gu Jinli was not in a hurry to order, she poured a cup of tea, she took a few sips, and her eyes lit up.

What is the color of this tea? The green is clear, the taste is light and sweet, not bad.

Raise your eyes to look at the other tables. In those large and small plates, the dishes are in different formats, and judging from the appearance of the guests who can't stop talking, they must be full of color, flavor, and flavor.

With a "bang", suddenly a loud and crisp gong sound attracted everyone's attention, and a large group of people poured down the stands in the hall downstairs.

"Childe, what are they doing here?" Hexiang tilted her head and asked.

"Every afternoon, there is a contest in the hall to guess the name of the dish. Blindfolded, participants not only had to taste the name of the dish, but also to identify the ingredients used by the chef and tell how to make the dish. Winner. You will get the opportunity to experience the dishes of Tianzi No. 1 Room for free. and he who loses shall be given five taels of silver. ”

As soon as Hexiang's words fell, the purple-clothed man opened his thin lips lightly and replied.

Gu Jinli was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your answer." ”

The ordinary private room in Baiyulou is at least fifty taels of silver, and the Tianzi No. 1 room is the best private room, not to mention that five hundred taels of silver can't be taken down.

It's only five taels if you lose, but if you win, you can make a lot of money.

"Interesting, let's go down and see." Standing up, she nodded to the man, and then walked downstairs with Lotus Xiang.

After the two left, the man's guard said coldly: "Childe, these two should not be ......?"

The man's slender fingers turned the teacup, his eyes fell on Gu Jinli and Hexiang downstairs, and his voice was cold: "Don't worry, as long as you don't reveal your whereabouts, Jingzhong will not receive news of my return." ”

After a pause, he hooked his lips, "Besides, do you think they're going to find two men dressed as men to approach me?" ”

"They're women?" After hearing this, Lei Zi took a few more looks, and really found that the master and servant were thinner than ordinary men.

The man put down the teacup and said quietly as he walked down the stairs: "Leizi." Sometimes you don't just look with your eyes, you have to look with your heart! ”

Even if he deliberately pretended to be a man, he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, but the person's face was like a hibiscus, his eyes were like autumn waves, and a pair of slender jade hands were not as thick and wide as a man, and the most obvious thing was that there were two piercings in his ears, so this must be a woman!

By the time the men arrived at the hall, the guessing contest had already begun.

There are a total of five dishes on the table, each covered with a pot lid, so everyone doesn't know what the dish is inside.

After the people on the stage were blindfolded, the shopkeeper opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of fragrance spread in the air.

Everyone looked at the dishes in the cup, and their saliva was about to flow.

The gray-clothed man on the far left tasted it, didn't guess the name, and then took another bite, and when he was about to pick up the third chopsticks after chewing, the shopkeeper reminded: "Guest officer, if you don't guess this last chopstick, you will lose." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry! Let me finish this bite! The man in gray reluctantly stuffed the dish into his mouth, and his words caused everyone to laugh.

Dare to love him for five taels of silver in exchange for these three dishes, after all, the price of each dish in Bai Yulou is not low.

"How's it going, officer? Did you guess it? Wait for the man in gray to put down his chopsticks. The shopkeeper asked.

The man in gray licked his lips, still unsatisfied, and only after a while did he tentatively say: "This dish is spicy and crisp, is it ...... Be...... Spicy chicken? ”

"Wrong answer!" The shopkeeper removed the strip of cloth from the gray-clothed man's face, and waited for the answers of the people behind.

Some others say it's fish-flavored shredded pork, and some say it's? Spicy crab meat, in short, there are various answers, but none of them are right.

By the last one, the slightly older gentleman, dressed simply, was in good spirits, and it seemed that he should have two brushes.

After only tasting a bite, he said slowly: "Liuli Zhuji." ”

As soon as I heard these four words. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the shopkeeper.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper nodded, lifted the lid on the vegetable cup, and said, "The guest officer is right, please tell me the ingredients and methods." ”

The old gentleman pondered for a moment and continued: "Cinnamon fish meat, minced pork, minced shrimp, pork soup, spinach leaves, ......"

"After smashing the cinnamon fish into a puree, pick out the tendons and thorns, then put the minced pork and minced shrimp in two bowls, and add the cooking wine and pork broth respectively. Stir and roll into balls......"

After the old gentleman finished speaking unhurriedly, the shopkeeper said loudly: "The answer is correct, please continue to the second course!" ”

The old gentleman moved and picked up the second dish, which was also the first bite, and he reported the name of the dish without thinking: "Feng wears a golden dress." ”

"Sauce duck meat, winter bamboo shoots, water mushrooms, eggs, coriander, pepper, green onions, ginger. A little sesame oil ......"

……

Since the contest was held last month, it is unceremonious to say that there has not been a single person who can guess the name of the first dish correctly.

And this old gentleman was able to answer three dishes correctly in a row, which made the shopkeeper a little incredible.

In everyone's stunned, he couldn't help but knock the gong in his hand and shouted: "Fourth! ”

The old gentleman's face was as usual, and there was no joy close to success, after he took a bite, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he clamped another chopstick, which couldn't help but make everyone nervous unconsciously with his movements.

No matter how you say it, it's come to this point. It would be a shame to lose.

After the third chopstick, the old gentleman said: "Yunhe Duanxiao." ”

"Plum ginseng, fish bones, shiitake mushrooms, magnolia slices, lotus seeds......" his voice became slower and slower, as if he was recalling, as if he was confirming, "Huoxiang." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper next to the counter, and he shook his head regretfully and said, "Old man, you answered wrong." ”

When the old gentleman heard this, he said urgently: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not Huoxiang, it's mint." Without waiting for the shopkeeper to answer, a voice sounded first.

Well, the heroine has a teahouse, which is her first step. As for the man in purple who appears in the second half, it is also important...... He is ...... I won't sue you! Don't stay up late, you can sleep and watch again. If there is anything wrong with the text, please remember to let me know and I will take the suggestion as appropriate. Well, the eldest prince was taken away by Xiaofang. I won't hug Gu Ergongzi, good night
