Chapter 159: Yuyao Immortal Tea
The cooperation plan proposed by Ning Yuanwai is very simple and crude......
Xie Shen was a little hesitant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Do you want to accept it?
Give up fifty percent of the profits in exchange for the chance for Yao Jiang tea to soar?
No matter how you look at Xie Shen, after all, the status of Yaojiang tea is now the last in Zhejiang tea, and the money earned is very limited. The main source of income of the Xie family tea shop is still relying on the sale of Longjing.
Although connections are also capital, Ning Yi's money is too easy!
Xie Shen frowned and fell silent.
Ning Yi didn't urge Xie Shen, just watched quietly.
Xie Shen thought for a long time and finally said aloud: "Ning Yuanwai's plan Xie can accept it, but Xie has one condition and hopes that Ning Yuanwai can agree." ”
"Oh?"
Ning Yi said with interest: "Gongzi Xie might as well come and take a look." ”
Xie Shen said lightly: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as Ning Yuan agrees not to cooperate with other tea merchants except Xie Mou, of course, Xie Mou refers to non-Longjing tea merchants." ”
Xie Shen said this very clearly, I accept your conditions, but you can't go to Qin Duchu outside the staff, while cooperating with me Xie Shen, and at the same time with the Ningbo tea merchant. You can't take advantage of the good things that are ingenious at both ends!
Xie Shen's strong response was expected by Ning Yi. Ning Yi nodded and said, "The old man promised you!" ”
That's it?
This Ning member is also refreshing.
"Since it's cooperation, Xie still wants to make things clear."
Xie Shen paused, and said with a glance: "Regardless of the distance, when the West Lake gathers at the Yaji, I also ask Ning Yuan to help Xie with a certain hand." ”
"Well said, well said. This time, Xie's son is relieved. ”
It's so comfortable to talk to smart people, you don't have to make things complicated, you just need to get to the point.
Ning Yuanwai is the president of the Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce, so it is naturally impossible to open his mouth, and this matter can be regarded as a negotiation.
Xie Shen stayed in Ning Mansion and had a light meal with Ning Yuanwai, then got up to say goodbye and returned to the inn.
After the dust settled, Xie Shen informed Zhang Bugui of the matter in advance. Zhang Bugui was naturally full of confidence in his heart, and he couldn't wait to compete with those scholars in Ningbo Mansion.
But it was said that time flies, and in an instant, it is the day of the West Lake Yaji.
The scholars of Yuyao got up early and went to Naxizi Lake together.
Zhang Bugui Zhang Dagongzi also figured it out, he was beaten by those scholars in Ningbo Mansion and suffered a dumb loss. At that time, there was no one present except for the people on both sides, and it was difficult for the county order to be judged.
As long as the warrior brawl does not cause death, the county order is not very good at it. If something big is a big thing, if the county order is annoying, the county order is really going to strike.
When the Yuyao scholars came to Su Causeway, they happened to meet the talented man of Yanzhou Mansion, Bi Minghui Shi Ran, coming over.
"Bi Gongzi seems to be determined to win today!"
Wang Shouwen didn't have much of a good impression of Bi Minghui, and Bi Minghui stole a lot of Xie Shen's limelight, which made Wang Shouwen angry.
said that he teamed up with Bi Minghui, but how can such a thing as a name be shared by others at will? If Bi Minghui is one point taller, Xie Shen will be one point shorter, which is certainly not what Wang Shouwen wants to see.
Bi Minghui was noncommittal to Wang Shouwen's words, and said lightly: "Today's heaven is beautiful, and the painting boat swimming in the lake is beautiful!" ”
Wang Shouwen almost turned his back on his anger, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to flick his sleeves and keep some distance from Bi Minghui.
Since ancient times, celebrities have been proud of their talents, and Bi Minghui is naturally no exception.
In Xie Shen's opinion, this Bi Gongzi should be a character like Tang Yin, and it is nothing to be frivolous.
Everyone walked towards the dock together, and when they got closer, they found that the scholars from Hangzhou Mansion and Ningbo Mansion had already taken the first step on the painting boat, Xie Shen glanced at Zhang Bugui, and Zhang Gongzi immediately understood and walked in front.
The first person to be invited to this elegant gathering was Zhang Bugui, so he should be allowed to go to the forefront. As for who will be in the limelight in the collection, that's another matter.
Du Yu, the representative of the local scholars in Hangzhou Prefecture, got up from the painting boat and greeted him humbly, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Bugui and other Yuyao scholars some face.
Zhang Bugui was still a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and only got on the painting boat first.
A group of scholars sat down, and Du Yu, the main owner of the Yaji, said in a deep voice: "Today, the sages are all here, and the young people are salty, and Du has set up an elegant collection to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake with the gentlemen." ”
This Du Yu is a well-known figure in the Hangzhou Mansion Shilin circle, and naturally there are many stinky feet.
A tribute is inevitable, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, the painting boat slowly shores the shore and heads towards the center of the lake.
There seems to be little difference between the elegant collection and the poetry club, but in fact there is an essential difference.
The poetry club emphasizes meeting friends with poetry, while Yaji pays more attention to Yaxing.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the poetry meeting is even more tense, which can be described as a needle-to-wheat mang, and people from all walks of life are aggressive as soon as they come up.
And Yaji is much easier, although it is inevitable that there will be warriors fighting fiercely, so as not to hurt the harmony.
But this time, there are many differences.
As soon as Zhang Bugui was humiliated, he wanted to regain face in Yaji. Second, Xie Shen also needs to show the demeanor of Yaojiang tea on the elegant gathering, and completely compare the Ningbo tea merchants.
He had already greeted Ning Yuanwai in advance, and he believed that there would be no problems with Hangzhou Shizi.
Although the scholars of each province sat in the painting boat, there were clear boundaries between them. Only Bi Minghui, a talented man from Sui A County, Yanzhou Prefecture, was alone, so he simply sat on the side of Yuyao Shizi.
There are a lot of courtesans on the painting boat, and the scholars enjoy the dance and listen to the music.
Wang Shouwen applauded while eating snacks.
Xie Shen glanced at him angrily, and Wang Shouwen realized that he had forgotten his business.
"Ahem, good tea, good tea. Such a good tea is afraid that only Qiantang Longjing can match. ”
Wang Shouwen cleared his throat and exclaimed.
Xie Shenxin said, brother, your acting skills are too exaggerated, minus points, this performance is minus.
Fortunately, Xie Shen was prepared and immediately took over the conversation and said: "When Xie is upset, he will drink this tea alone, and as soon as the fragrance enters his heart, the dryness will disappear completely." ”
"The eaves are loose and the wind is swept away, and the light yin is the tea picking, and the invitation goes straight to the top of the lonely peak, and the city is competing for the valley before the rain.
Two baskets of east and west branches, a lamp of children reunited,
After the fried green has reached the end of the year, it is still trying to divide the waterfall spring. ”
After Xie Shen finished chanting the poem, Yuyao Shizi applauded. Many scholars from Hangzhou Prefecture also leaned over to ask the name of the tea.
Xie Shen simply started to popularize science: "The tea that Xie drinks is called Yuyao Waterfall Tea, which is produced in Yuyao Juyu Mountain. It has a better known name as Yuyao Xianming. This name is not Xie Moufeng, but the tea saint Lu Yu personally ordered. Of course, Xie prefers to call it Yaojiang tea, which is more cordial. This tea was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that it is hidden in the mountains in this dynasty. (Note 1)
