Chapter 180: Biluo
On the town of the general's house.
A few little girls were muttering quietly, showing off the red velvet flowers they had just gotten.
This is the Huang family watch young master reward, but anyone who has shown their face in front of the Huang family watch young master today, everyone has it, although there is no shortage of silk flowers in the palace in the house, but that can't reach their hands, the red velvet flower rewarded by the young master of the Huang family is the most famous flower interpretation in the capital, fifty copper plates, I don't know how much the Huang family watch young master bought.
Huang Xianjun was sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking at Biluo who was cooking tea.
Biluo is the top brand that Yale Fang has just invited from Jiangnan, not only playing the piano well, but also cooking good tea.
Biluo Su fluttered his sleeves, his movements were like flowing water, Huang Xianjun praised Huo Jiu in his heart, if it weren't for Huo Jiu, he wouldn't have imagined that there were characters like Biluo in the rouge bush in the capital.
It's interesting to think about, Huo Jiu shouldn't like a woman older than him, right? This Biluo is older than him, last time at the Four Seas Tea House, Huo Jiu stared at the elderly white narcissus, and his saliva was about to flow out.
Thinking of Bai Narcissus, Huang Xianjun felt sorry for Huo Jiu, last time he wanted to buy Bai Narcissus and give it to Huo Jiu, but unfortunately it didn't work out.
Now that I want to do business with Huo Jiu, I always have to express myself.
His gaze fell on Biluo again, why don't you buy Biluo and give it to Huo Jiu?
But......
Biluo, who was cooking tea, glanced obliquely, his eyes were like silk, Huang Xianjun understood, no wonder Huo Jiu liked an elderly woman, and the little girl always felt very awkward when she threw her eyes.
Of course, Biluo's wink was not thrown to him, but the person sitting in the main seat.
Zhenguo General Shen Jiguang.
Sitting above Huang Xianjun is his cousin Shen Qingyan.
As soon as Huang Xianjun retracted his gaze, he was glared at by Shen Qingyan, and he hurriedly shrunk his neck.
Shen Qingyan must have misunderstood, thinking that he was going to give Biluo to the general.
He had no choice but to show a simple smile unique to a big yellow head, harmless to humans and animals.
The annoyance in Shen Qingyan's eyes really faded halfway, and he quietly turned his face to the side.
Biluo had already cooked the tea and held it in front of Shen Jiguang, without saying anything, just smiling.
After everyone drank the first sip of tea, Huang Xianjun smiled and said, "Uncle Cousin, how about you taste this tea?" ”
Shen Jiguang took another sip and said with a smile: "Good tea, if I guessed correctly, this is Pu'er from Yunnan." ”
Huang Xianjun gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are really well-informed, and I won't tell you that when I first saw this tea, I still disliked it as an old tea that has been more than ten years old." ”
Shen Qingyan frowned and asked puzzledly, "You said that this is more than ten years old tea?" ”
For more than ten years, this is not just aged tea, this is a tea that can no longer be aged, and he is about the same age.
Huang Xianjun said: "Yes, if I hadn't tasted it and thought it was really good, I wouldn't have dared to show my cousin the objects of more than ten years." Speaking of Yunnan, people really have the ability, making tea bricks and tea cakes can be stored for many years, I heard that this kind of more than ten years is not the best. ”
Shen Qingyan became interested and asked, "How many years is the best?" ”
Huang Xianjun sold a pass: "Cousin, do you guess? ”
Shen Qingyan couldn't stand the fact that Huang Datou, who had always been low and small in front of him, was about to get angry, but suddenly remembered that this was in front of his father, so he only snorted coldly: "It's the first time I've heard of this kind of tea, how do I know what's wrong." ”
Shen Jiguang, the general of Zhenguo, was obviously very interested in this matter, he said: "When the first emperor was here, the Southwest Marquis entered Beijing and brought back some, but the tea from this barbarian land did not dare to be sent into the palace, the wife and mother of the Southwest Marquis are cousins across the room, and the gift from the Southwest Marquis to the palace is this tea, but it is a pity that the maids in the house lack the skills to cook the tea, and they have not been able to cook the subtlety of this tea, which is a pity." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Biluo with a smile, and he didn't know if it was the person who fell in love with Biluo, or her tea art.
Taking advantage of Shen Jiguang's lack of attention, Shen Qingyan glared at Huang Xianjun again, stinky boy, where did you find the fox.
Huang Xianjun pretended not to see it, and said to Shen Jiguang with a smile: "If my cousin thinks this tea is good, I will find the best one and send it to you another day." ”
Speaking of this, he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I also heard Huo Jiu say, he said that last time there was a rich merchant in Guangdong, who gave three thousand taels of silver, and asked for an old cake that was more than sixty years old. ”
Shen Qingyan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Three thousand taels of silver?" Did you find that? ”
Huang Xianjun said: "I found it, but it was seventy years old, and the Huo family asked the rich businessman for an extra thousand taels." ”
Shen Qingyan was about to scold the lion and open his mouth, when he heard a pleasant female voice say: "The slave family also heard about it when they were in Jiangnan, but the rich merchant was not from Guangdong, but from the Cui family, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou. ”
Here she could have interjected, but what she said aroused everyone's interest, so that no one rebuked her.
Shen Jiguang laughed: "The Cui family and the Li family are both the largest salt merchants in Yangzhou, I didn't expect the people of the Cui family to have this hobby." ”
Biluo observed her words and looks, and saw that General Zhenguo was interested in her words, so she said with a smile: "The slave family is not talking nonsense, many people in Jiangnan know about this." ”
Shen Qingyan looked at Huang Xianjun and said angrily, "This tea was taken from Huo Jiu?" ”
Huang Xianjun hurriedly said: "Yes, when I was drinking tea outside that day, Huo Jiu disliked the tastelessness of tea, so he talked about the Pu'er that his family brought from Yunnan, and complained that the people in the capital only knew that his family and the Wine and Vinegar Bureau were doing wine business, but they didn't know that his family still had Pu'er tea." ”
"Also, why didn't the Huo family do Yunnan's tea business in the capital?" Shen Qingyan asked.
Huang Xianjun said: "How dare his family, do a wine business, and almost cut off the door, his family has just arrived in the capital, there is no foundation, there is no connection, if his family takes out this Pu'er tea, the people in the capital heard that this is all old tea, not only will not buy it, but also don't know how much to arrange out his family." ”
Shen Jiguang smiled slightly in his heart, looked at Huang Xianjun with interest, and said slowly: "The Huo family's Pu'er tea business, your father wants to buy shares?" ”
Huang Xianjun laughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "Cousin, I won't hide it from you, my father doesn't know about it, I want to buy shares." ”
Shen Jiguang smiled, no wonder you came to me to introduce this tea to the dignitaries in the capital through me.
