Chapter 9 Tea

In the inn, Nie Ling sighed, "Song Kai, you are really stupid to read." ”

Ah Fu also sighed, and said: "Da Lang, forget it, Mrs. Liu is not something we can marry after all, with this gold, buy some dowry, and the old slave will give Da Lang another family affair." ”

Song Kai waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's have a good meal tonight, and I'll tell you about the next plan at the dinner table." ”

When the meal was served, Song Kai took a sip of wine and frowned, this wine is indeed unpalatable, but I don't know if the Tang people like those highly redistilled spirits now, if they do, there will be a new attraction in the store, well, wait for tomorrow to make some first, let Ah Fu taste it.

Nie Ling is a standard foodie, and as soon as the meal comes up, she has already eaten a lot.

Song Kaidao: "Today is my mistake, underestimating the current grim situation, resulting in our fiasco today, and then we need to re-plan, find out the situation between the enemy and us, figure out the rules, and formulate a complete set of combat plans, so as to start the reputation of Hongchen Inn in one fell swoop." ”

Ah Fu was dizzy when he heard it, and sighed in his heart, after all, his young master is a scholar, and he can't understand what he says.

Nie Ling only cared about eating, as for what Song Kai said, he just had to make money anyway, and now he had ten taels of gold in his hand, and he could secretly go to the street to buy some clothes tomorrow.

"First of all, we have to run our own restaurant first, tomorrow I will go to other restaurants to see, learn from the successful experience of others, the other is the recruitment and advertising thing, the recruitment notice to make a big one, before hanging the city building, there should be no advertising fees now, well, and then get some advertisements to post on the surrounding neighborhoods......" Song Kai muttered.

Ah Fu listened to a few words, but he really didn't understand, so he lowered his head to eat, and as for Nie Ling, he didn't raise his head from beginning to end.

Song Kai spat and spoke, seeing that the old and the young did not react, he sighed in his heart, he was really a pig-like teammate.

After eating, Nie Ling said, "I haven't taken a bath for a long time, Song Kai, do you have a change of clothes at home." ”

"Do you wear me?" Song Kaibai glanced at Nie Ling.

Nie Ling crossed Song Kai, and then grinned: "Isn't there gold, can you go and buy a set of clothes for me?" ”

"Not good," Song Kai thought for a moment, "unless you sign a contract with me." ”

"What contract?" Nie Bell was puzzled, and the silver bell on his wrist rang.

"Well, that is to say, I can give you food, you live, and clothes for you, but you have to work in my store for three years, well, almost three years, and I will find a way to whitewash your identity," Song Kai said.

"What! You let me be your slave! Nie Ling's eyes were full of murderous energy, "Aunt and grandmother are dignified......"

"Stop!" Song Kai interrupted Nie Ling's words, "It's not a slave, it's just a guy in the store, you think, your identity is so sensitive now, I have to take the risk to take you in, don't you want to get something in return." ”

Nie Ling's eyes rolled, "It's okay to be a buddy, but you can't let me bathe you and let me serve you or anything." ”

Song Kai rolled his eyelids, "You see that you are stinky, who is willing to let you serve." ”

"I'll kill you......"

Ah Fu coughed twice, "Da Lang, if you want to buy clothes, you need to hurry up, and in a while, the shop will close." ”

"Well, yes, Fu Bo, you boil some water in the store, I should take a bath too," Song Kai wiped his mouth and walked out.

Nie Ling shouted and chased after her, and she grabbed the corner of Song Kai's clothes.

"What?" Song Kai turned his head and asked suspiciously.

Nie Ling's cheeks flushed, "You know...... Do you know what clothes to buy? ”

"Of course you know, skirts, underwear, underwear, plus belly pockets, isn't that?" Song Kai paused.

Nie Ling's face turned even redder, thinking that this Song Kai must not be a serious scholar.

Out of the store, Song Kai first went to the gold shop to exchange some broken gold ingots and some copper coins, during the Tang Dynasty, broken silver was not common in the people, one tael of gold for five taels of silver, but this exchange rate is always changing, the general transaction is the use of copper coins, or gold ingots.

After entering the clothing store and taking a turn, Song Kai was really distressed, today's clothes are too expensive, ordinary ones cost two or three hundred wen a piece, and better ones, most of them are seven or eight hundred wen, and even have to be consistent.

Originally, he planned to buy a set for himself and Fu Bo, but seeing this price, Song Kai retreated, and only bought a set of internal and external clothes for Nie Lingdang.

Then Song Kai went around the four treasures shop in the study, spent the usual money to buy high-quality white paper and ink, and then returned to the inn.

Prices are really high.

Song happily sighed, fortunately, the food was quite cheap.

Nie Lingdang took the clothes Song Kai bought and ran back to his room with a red face.

Song Kai wondered, this girl is quite crazy on weekdays, how can she blush so easily.

Nie Ling went back to the room, looked through the clothes Song Kai bought, his heart was pounding, let the man see his underwear, it was already unseemly, and now he let the man touch it, hey, if this is spread out, he will really not be able to see people in the future.

Song Kai naturally didn't think about it so much, he took a shower, slept comfortably, got up the next day to rinse his mouth and wash his face, and prepared to go to other restaurants to see the business strategies of other restaurants, and take a field test.

"Squeak", Nie Ling's door opened, and a woman walked out of it, wearing a messy and wrinkled white dress, her hair loosely tied behind her head, yawning, very beautiful.

Song Kai stared at it with a slight surprise, he knew that Nie Lingdang was very good-looking, but he didn't expect to be so beautiful when he changed back into women's clothes.

"Hi beauty!" Song beckoned.

Nie Ling's face turned red again, and he glared at Song Kai, "Deng's disciple!" ”

"Huh?" Song Kai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I'm just telling the truth, I didn't expect you to be so good-looking, no wonder Wang Weng outside the city wants to buy you as a concubine." ”

"Humph! Aunt and grandmother are dignified county lords, and they are naturally beautiful......"

Song Kai waved his hand, and after washing, he went out of the store and walked to a restaurant about 3,000 meters away.

The name of the restaurant is Tianfu Restaurant, and this name is more domineering than Hongchen Inn.

Song Kai sighed and entered the restaurant, where there were many people sitting bustlingly, some people ordered a pot of tea, some pastries, melon seeds, chatting and talking, and some people gathered around a table, drinking wine and eating meat.

Song Kai walked into the restaurant, observed the environment inside, and was very unconvinced, although he said that he was not a businessman, but he was also a traverser, if even these businessmen could not compete, it would be too embarrassing to be a traverser.

The wooden wall is hung with poems, calligraphy and paintings, the bartender is draped with a white towel on his shoulder, and greets the guests earnestly, the hotel environment is good, you can see the Qinglou painting boat not far away, come here to eat, it is not only sentiment, but also a symbol of status.

Song Kai walked to the second floor, and was just about to find a table to sit down, when a call came from behind him, "Song Langjun!" ”

Song Kai turned his head and saw an old man sitting there by the window, with a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts in front of him.

"Uncle Xue!" Song Kai walked over and arched his hand.

It was Xue Weihai who was sitting there.

Xue Weihai pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit!" Such a coincidence, Song Lang, let's meet again. ”

"Heh......" Song Kai laughed, "When I saw you, uncle, I knew that I could eat delicious food for free today." ”

Xue Weihai stroked his beard and smiled, "You guy, you are thick-skinned, so I will spend money today and invite you to dinner." Let's drink some tea first, the tea doctor here is very good, I will come here every morning to drink tea and eat breakfast. ”

As he spoke, Xue Weihai picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Song Kai.

Song Kai tasted it, it was a little bitter, the fragrance was much less, he frowned, this is also a good tea?

"How?" Xue Weihai looked at Song Kai with a smile.

Song Kai shook his head, "Old Xue, this tea ...... Hehe, to be honest, it's not that good. ”

"Hahahaha," Xue Weihai seemed to expect Song Kaihui to say this, "You, after all, you can't taste the good of this, and on weekdays, you will only drink those tea soups with onions, ginger, garlic and vinegar." ”

"Huh?" Song Kai was puzzled, "Tea soup? Oh, you're talking about tea soup mixed with seasonings, hehe, that's naturally not. ”

People in the Tang Dynasty liked to add ingredients to tea, but at the end of the Tang Dynasty, many people took tea as an elegant taste and began to like to drink clear tea.

"Isn't it?" Like an old fox, Xue Lao laughed, thinking that Song Kai was just quibbling.

Song Kai shook the teacup and said, "This tea tastes too bitter." ”

"This is life, tasting tea is like life, from the tip of the tongue to the throat, it is naturally bitter, but after the bitterness, there is a fragrance that fills the lips and teeth." Xue Weihai chuckled, he never liked to say these words to people, but when he met Song Kai, he was able to let go a lot, perhaps because Song Kai was straightforward enough, refreshing enough, and thick-skinned enough.

Song Kai still shook his head, "First bitter and then sweet, it is also a kind of life principle, but this bitter taste is too long, and a lot of beauty has been lost." This tea is excellent, but after picking, it is only dried and not fried, so the bitter taste is extraordinarily long. ”

"Oh? Fried green? What do you mean? Xue Weihai was a little surprised.

Song Kaidao: "Before the Qingming Festival, I picked this delicate leaf, dried it a little and fried it, hehe, the taste, although bitter, but the aftertaste is long, I think that is life, maybe bitter, but after all, it is fragrant." ”

Xue Weihai frowned, thinking about his thoughts.

"Elder Xue, Elder Xue," Song Kai knocked on the table, "Why don't you serve the food?" ”

Xue Weihai came back to his senses, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly on his old face, and said, "Okay, okay, serve the food, by the way, the method of making tea you said, can it still be used now?" ”

"What is made now is summer tea, which has a strong flavor and a little less fragrant and sweet, but the tea has a strong flavor and a different taste." Song Kai explained casually, "In addition, you can also make fermented black tea now, or not, after my inn opens, you can go to make some tea with Xue Lao, and then my inn will exclusively provide these teas, Xue Lao, you have to go to my store to drink tea every day." ”

Xue Weihai laughed, "Yesterday, I heard that the lady of the Sun family said that your inn was about to be closed down, why, do you want to open again?" I see, you're not a businessman. ”

Seeing that there are old book friends coming to support, my heart is very moved, I will work hard, with you, just like this life, there may be bitterness, but after all, it will be bitter. Thank you for your support and reward, although I can't do it now, but I will be indomitable, thank you for the support and reward of Nirvana, I will also rise from Nirvana! Thank you both
