Before the Ming Dynasty, tea was manipulated by Zhong Deqing, which led to a sharp decline in production and a lot of old merchants; Before the rain, Zhong Lingyu made another stupid move, and even bought fresh leaves and fried Mao tea by himself, Ge's shopkeeper's persuasion was ineffective, and he was anxious, but he was helpless. To put it bluntly, he is just a subordinate of the Zhong family's big house, and he can't do anything. After Zhong Deping's death, whether the Zhong family's big house can stand up depends on whether Zhong Lingming, Zhong Lingzhi and others have the ability.

Now that Zhong Lingyu said that she was going to use the tea before the rain to fight back, Shopkeeper Ge couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Shopkeeper Ge, don't worry, taste our pre-rain tea this time before talking." Zhong Lingyu smiled slightly and motioned for Chunli to make tea.

Chunli had been instructed by Zhong Lingyu long before he came, and made a pot of tea after Zhong Lingming and the others went out. At this time, he listened to the order, poured two cups, and sent them to Zhong Lingyu and Ge Shopkeeper respectively.

Shopkeeper Ge glanced at Zhong Lingyu suspiciously, took a look at the teacup, and smelled the fragrance of the tea, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't care about decency, so he put the teacup on his lips and took a sip, and a fragrance spread directly in his mouth.

Closing his eyes and savoring the taste of this tea, he suddenly opened his eyes and opened Zhong Lingyu: "Miss, where did this tea come from?" ”

Zhong Lingyu pointed to a nearby room.

It was the storeroom of the tea house, containing the new tea that Zhong Lingyu had just brought back from the mountain yesterday.

Shopkeeper Ge looked in the direction of her finger suspiciously, and then as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened as big as a cow.

"This, this is our new tea?"

Zhong Lingyu nodded.

Shopkeeper Ge didn't seem to react at once, and looked at Su Zhonglingyu in a daze for a while before he asked incredulously: "This is the pre-rain tea that you collected fresh leaves and fried with your own hands some time ago?" ”

Zhong Lingyu nodded again.

Shopkeeper Ge's lips trembled.

He picked up the teacup, put it to his lips and drank a few more sips, as if tasting the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and sipped the tea carefully, until he was sure that he was not delusional, nor was he dreaming, the tea he drank was really much better than the taste of Ming Qian tea, then he calmed down his excitement, opened his bright eyes, looked at Zhong Lingyu and said, "Miss, what are you going to do, you just have to say." As long as my old horse head can do it, I will do my best to do it well. ”

Zhong Lingyu laughed: "Take a good look at these teas, don't let people taste them before sorting out the hair tea, and don't let people see it." ”

"This young lady, please rest assured, even if you don't sleep at night, I have to watch this tea closely! , without anyone noticing. ”

Zhong Lingyu shook his head: "Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, in the eyes of outsiders, these teas have to be the same as in previous years, they are the usual tea before the rain." ”

Shopkeeper Ge nodded vigorously: "I understand." Miss, don't worry, I have been in charge of the tea house for more than ten years, and I know exactly what kind of temperament the people in the tea house are, who can be trusted and who can't be trusted. What Miss said, I will arrange it. ”

This Zhong Lingyu is indeed very relieved. Over the years, Shopkeeper Ge has managed the tea house, and there has been nothing wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't have handed over the Ming Qian tea last time and the pre-rain tea this time to the shopkeeper Ge so reassuringly.

"Ge shopkeeper does things, and my father used to praise it."

The old face of the shopkeeper Ge was also embarrassed by Zhong Lingyu's words, waved his hand and said a few words modestly, and asked: "What price does Miss want to sell for such a good tea?" ”

Thinking about the hundreds of jars of tea in the storeroom over there, he was extremely excited. With such a good tea and such a large amount, how much money can you make this year? The most important thing is that those merchants who directly abandoned the Zhong family's big house and transferred to the second room of the Zhong family during the tea before the Ming Dynasty, this time they paid a lot of money, and he didn't have to take care of them - such a good tea, he didn't worry about no one wanting it at all!

At this moment, he had already thrown away the worry that when he heard that Zhong Lingyu was harvesting a large number of fresh leaves a while ago, he felt that Zhong Lingyu was faint, and there was only one thought in his heart: Our young lady is so powerful, no wonder the old man spoiled her so much when he was alive!

Zhong Lingyu thought for a while and said, "Divide these tea leaves into three sales, and call the old merchants who bought Ming Qian tea for the first time, and let them taste it first, and then bid for it." ”

"That's a good idea." Shopkeeper Ge slapped the table, his face full of excitement.

In this way, since we have taken care of the old merchants who were originally affectionate and righteous, we can also sign these teas, so that everyone knows that Gardenia Garden has produced a good tea, and the taste is better than that of Ming Qian tea. In this way, the second and third tea leaves can be sold at a good price.

Thinking about the popularity of the gardenia tea house, the shopkeeper Ge couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked a few steps, went through the plan in his head, and thought about what was missing, but in the depths, he seemed to have been poured cold water, and his brain suddenly calmed down.

"Miss." He sat down and looked at Zhong Lingyu with a serious expression, "We can't sell this tea." ”

Zhong Lingyu seemed to expect him to say this, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he raised his eyes and asked, "Are you afraid that others will covet the secret recipe for fried tea in our hands?" ”

Shopkeeper Ge thought that Zhong Lingyu was young and didn't think so deeply, but he didn't expect this stubble, and when he heard her ask this, he was taken aback: "Miss has already taken this into account?" There was a feeling in his heart that the back waves of the Yangtze River were pushing the front waves, and at this time he wanted to shout: Roll over the back waves!

It's a pity he can't

Zhong Lingyu didn't know what Shopkeeper Ge was thinking, so he just smiled and said: "We orphans and widows, don't think about it too much, I'm afraid that we will be eaten so much that we don't even have the dregs left." ”

The shopkeeper Ge was silent, and a pity arose in his heart.

Girls of other people's age are still coquettish under their parents' knees, only thinking about what kind of clothes to cut, what kind of flowers to wear, which is like their own young lady, and they have to worry hard at a young age, lest they take a wrong step and be calculated by others.

He put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and asked, "What is the opinion of the young lady on this matter?" ”

Zhong Lingyu didn't answer, but took the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then lowered his eyes to look at the light green tea soup in the teacup, and said lightly: "A few days ago, the Ye family had withdrawn from me. ”

"Uh..." Shopkeeper Ge was stunned for a moment, a little stunned by the news.

Miss was dismissed? Why was he dismissed? Wait, what does this have to do with the secret recipe of tea?!

What does the young lady want to express? How can I say it!

No, no, Miss's words and deeds have always been very reliable, and she will never talk about business matters, so she will inexplicably get involved in her own family affairs.

There must be something related to this.

The shopkeeper's mind turned several times before turning back on the road.
