The teahouse finally opened, and with the arrival of the old gentleman who knew tea invited by Wang Shaoqing, the business of the teahouse gradually improved, and if it developed steadily, it would definitely be profitable in the first month. [Ran^Text^Library] [](Ran Library (7764))

The days gradually flattened, Shen Wuyan still got up early every day to run along the Pingjiang River, and when he came back, he would sometimes go to Wang Shaoqing's house to chat and play chess with him, and sometimes he would go to the bookstore on the street to pick up some books on alchemists and other things.

Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty has a maritime ban policy, after going to the West in the early years, many foreign friends have come to the court, and many books and theories have also been passed on, but they have not received attention.

Before dawn this morning, Shen Wuyan still washed and warmed up, and then opened the door to go for a run, but saw a young man in a torn jacket lying on his side in front of the door at the door.

Shen Wuyan's face changed slightly, he slowly squatted down and patted the young man gently, and called out in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wen, what are you going to do here?" ”

This young man is Xu Wenchang, after he was woken up by Shen Wuyan, he just smiled slightly, then got up and stretched his body, and said lightly: "Yesterday I remembered a game of chess at home, so I rushed over overnight, and it was already midnight after I thought about it, and I couldn't bear to wake you and Shaoqing, so I slept here." ”

"You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and rushed from Shaoxing to Suzhou for a game of chess." Shen Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "How did you enter the city in the middle of the night?" ”

Before he could speak, Shen Wuyan understood. As Hu Zongxian's staff, it is not difficult for him to enter the city.

"Come in, you are also a staff member in the Mansion of the Governor of Hu, why are you so down-and-out."

Although he said this, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but have other feelings about the person in front of him. The so-called crazy birth is nothing more than that, Xu Wenchang is rare in the world, and it is naturally not an exaggeration to call him a genius.

"You pour your own tea first, I'll get you a chessboard, and Mr. Shaoqing will come over later, and you can talk to him."

Xu Wenchang was not polite, he rubbed his hands while lifting a teapot to pour tea. I have to say that it is already spring, and it is really uncomfortable to freeze outside all night in March, and my hands have long been frozen.

"This tea...... How is this color. ”

He looked at the thick tea in the cup, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, he was sure that he had never seen this thing, but this sweet smell made people want to taste it, so he raised his glass and drank it.

There is a peculiar taste in the mouth, which has the taste of tea but also other flavors, in short, the aftertaste is endless, sweet and delicious.

At this moment, Shen Wuyan also walked out of the backyard with a chessboard, he looked at Xu Wenchang's intoxicated expression and was slightly surprised, but when he saw the two words posted on the pot of tea, he probably knew something.

"Milk tea."

This is the new product that Shen Wuyan is preparing to develop in the near future, but the black tea needed for milk tea is not widely used in Daming, so it has been replaced by other teas, but the taste is not up to standard after all, so it has not been used, and this pot may have been placed here by Yue'er by mistake.

"Brother Wen, do you know, if you draw your intoxicated face now, you will be the milk tea brother of the Ming Dynasty."

"Brother Milk Tea?" Xu Wenchang smiled and said: "I'm going to be a father, I don't have a word to make this kind of joke to me." …… It's just that what kind of tea are you, it's really delicious, a bit like the milk that Hu people drink, but it has the taste of tea, it's really hard to distinguish. ”

Seeing Xu Wenchang's performance, Shen Wuyan knew that he had succeeded, and this kind of cross-era product had been recognized in this world, so what he needed to do next was actually very simple.

In this way, Shen Wuyan explained the principle of milk tea to this genius of the time, and at the same time infiltrated some other things, such as the benefits of drinking milk tea and the idea that if there was a reason, he could bring him a few pots back.

Xu Wenchang agreed with this very much, he said that he would send some milk tea to Governor Hu, and if he could, he would send it to the capital for the emperor to taste, of course, in the end, this point was rejected by Shen Wuyan.

Between chatting, Wang Shaoqing really came.

He couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the ragged Xu Wenchang, but when he heard that Xu Wenchang came overnight to play chess, he just said lightly: "When can you change your temper." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled and said nothing, hurriedly poured a cup of milk tea for Wang Shaoqing, handed it to him, and said, "Brother Shaoqing was not convinced when I talked about tea with Gu Lao before, what kind of tea is this?" ”

The so-called Gu Lao is Gu Yuanqing, a tea ceremony master, this person is very accomplished in the tea ceremony, and the teahouses in Suzhou are proud of Gu Lao's guidance, such as Jixian Ju.

Hearing Xu Wenchang mention Gu Lao, Wang Shaoqing frowned slightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Gu Lao is a senior, and we are all juniors. ”

"And here's the thing." Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile, he looked at the smiling Xu Wenchang and said softly, "What did you say, to make Gu Lao so angry?" He's getting old, and he's still like this. ”

Hearing Shen Wuyan ask, Xu Wenchang glanced at Wang Shaoqing, who had an ugly face, hesitated slightly, and only said, "Shaoqing drank this tea first." ”

Wang Shaoqing glanced at the tea in the cup in his hand, the color of this tea was different from what he had seen before, but it had a tea fragrance, but it contained other flavors during the period, which was not easy to distinguish. He took a sip, revealing a strange look.

"How?"

Shen Wuyan looked at Wang Shaoqing's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, this is made of tea and milk, and some accessories are added during the period, and it is called milk tea, right...... It's called Wake Eight Milk Tea. ”

Wang Shaoqing nodded, put the cup down, he is calm and cautious, never commenting, so everything also needs to think for a while before making an evaluation, after a little silence, he said: "The taste is still good, literati of Wuyan's age can still accept it, if it is at my age, it is actually a little unaccustomed." ”

Shen Wuyan was deeply touched by this, Gu Yuanqing had come once before. He didn't agree with the milk tea that Shen Wuyan took out, he admired clear tea, but what he said was similar to Wang Shaoqing.

"In fact, there is no need to think so much about opening a teahouse without words, this kind of tea is now a new thing, and the younger generation may be better contacted, but among the older generation, there are still people who like it."

Xu Wenchang studied under Yang Mingxin, so he also had advanced ideas between his words, so it was easier to accept new things, and Wang Shaoqing's respect for the ancient system was naturally more difficult to accept.

Although this is the case, for Shen Wuyan, it has actually been a big step forward, and now it is left to promote milk tea, although it is not comparable to the traditional tea ceremony, but it is a change after all.

After talking about the tea ceremony, the two began to talk in this teahouse.

The killing in the chessboard is not difficult for Shen Wuyan to understand, but he also has to admire the chess skills of these two, one has a tight defense, the other is ruthless, and after all, it is only a peaceful end.

The chess game did not end successfully until noon, and at the invitation of Wang Shaoqing, the three of them chatted for a while after lunch at his house until the afternoon, and then sent Xu Wenchang away.

At this time, a luxurious sedan chair came at the entrance of the alley, and a fat man wearing gold and silver was standing at the entrance of the alley with his hands crossed and looking in, and when he saw Shen Wuyan and the three of them coming out, he ran over with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xu, I'm here in person this time. The old man likes your words, write a pair of a thousand taels, what do you think? ”

I knew that Xu Wenchang's calligraphy and painting were wonderful, but I didn't expect it to come to this point. One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, it is almost the expenditure of an ordinary person's family for nearly ten years, which is really unimaginable.

It's just that Xu Wenchang didn't seem to care about the thousand taels of silver, he looked at the fat man indifferently: "Your Excellency is the shopkeeper Liu of Deyue Tower?" As I said a few days ago, it's not a matter of money. ”

Obviously, Shopkeeper Liu knew very well what Xu Wenchang would say, and still said with an unchanged face: "If Mr. wants to say anything, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it." ”

"I said I wouldn't write it." Xu Wenchang sneered, turned to Shen Wuyan and hugged his fists and said, "We will meet another day." ”

After that, he didn't care about Shopkeeper Liu's angry red face, patted his jacket and walked into the distance.

"Shopkeeper Liu......."

Shopkeeper Liu came to his senses for a long time, he turned around and bowed to Wang Shaoqing and hugged his fist, and said: "There is a poetry party in the Duanyang Festival in Deyue Building, and I hope Mr. Shaoqing will go and sit down." ”

Wang Shaoqing is still gentle after all, he did not refuse the invitation of the shopkeeper Liu, but said: "Your master has been in good health recently?" I haven't been to Deyue Tower for a while. ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked at Shen Wuyan and said with a smile: "If Wuyan is interested, you can go with me, most of the talented and beautiful people here in Suzhou will also go, and it is not bad to change your mood." ”

Shen Wuyan's gaze was still on Xu Wenchang, who had disappeared around the corner, and the shabby cotton jacket was in stark contrast to the image of the later categorical refusal to ask for words with heavy money, Xu Wenchang should be a literati.

Hearing Wang Shaoqing's words at this time, he hurriedly returned to his senses and smiled: "It's good if I have nothing to do that day." ”

"It's ......."

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Shen Wuyan, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, he frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Shihui of Deyue Lou knows, and the people invited are all literati who have a certain reputation in Suzhou, this ......." ”

Shen Wuyan naturally could hear the meaning of the other party's words, he didn't plan to go to any poetry meeting, but when he heard the other party say this, he didn't want Wang Shaoqing to be embarrassed, so he said lightly: "Shen Wuyan is in Xia, since it's inconvenient, then I won't go down." ”

Wang Shaoqing wanted to say something, but when he heard Shen Wuyan say this, he just nodded and didn't speak.

Perhaps it was because he was hit too deeply by Xu Wenchang just now, Shopkeeper Liu heard Shen Wuyan say this, and then said coldly: "It's not that you are inconvenient, but that I am inconvenient to Yuelou, doesn't Shen Gongzi know who the people invited by Yuelou?" ”
