Chapter 119: Tengyuan Tea House
Seeing her tragic appearance, Huo Zun couldn't help laughing.
"The doctor just said that you are in poor health, and it is not appropriate to do more things as husband and wife for a long time in the future, and you will be scared and even explain the aftermath."
Xia Qian's mind was stunned, and the tears that had just been wiped away poured out again, but this time they laughed.
Huo Zun smiled and swallowed all the worries on his face into his stomach, he couldn't bear or dare to tell her the cruel truth with her reaction like this.
"You're just looking at my jokes, aren't you?" Hearing his words, she burst into tears, touched the tears on her face, and looked at him angrily.
Huo Zun smiled but did not speak, pretending to look like he had succeeded in his prank.
Yu Nuan walked into the bedroom with the cold medicine, and Xia Qian took it and drank it all.
The herbs have a strong taste and are very fishy and bitter in the mouth, but they are really nothing compared to the separation of life and death.
Therefore, she drank it as if it were fairy dew.
"Fool, such a big bowl of medicine, you drink it as if you were drinking plain water! Is it bitter in the mouth? He asked distressedly as he peeled the orange over and over again.
Two deep pear blossom nests appeared on her face, and she replied with a smile: "Compared to staying with you, these medicines are the same as honey water!" ”
The next day, Huo Zun took her to a shop, which was Lin Qianxue who took her to see the three-story shop that originally sold literary toys, calligraphy and paintings.
After entering, Xia Qian found that the layout and furnishings inside had all changed, and there was a wide plaque at the foot of the wall, on which four big characters were written with gold powder dragon flying phoenix dancing - "Tengyuan Tea House".
"Don't you want to open a teahouse? I bought this shop, and the people in the account office and the hall were also found, and they were all trustworthy. When the time comes, let Qingyue, Yu Nuan, and Bai Bing help you, and if it's not enough, you can find some more people. ”
Xia Qian looked at him in surprise and asked eagerly: "You can buy this shop for more than 100,000 taels of silver, why don't you say anything?" ”
"These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are yours, Lu Jingheng gave you a lot of silver taels when I went to Simon last time, have you forgotten?" Huo Zun raised his eyebrows and smiled.
A few years ago, Tuo Lu Jingheng, the blessing of the master of the horse, the two of them went to Simon, and after listening to Yuxuan, they unexpectedly harvested more than 100,000 taels of silver, and also caught the handle of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I didn't expect that Huo Zun would use all the silver to help her open a teahouse.
Xia Qian silently looked at the four big characters on the plaque, and her eyes smiled into a pair of charming first quarter moons.
"Tengyuan Teahouse, this name is good. There's your name and there's mine! ”
Huo Zun's knuckled fingers tapped on the tip of her nose: "There is another layer of meaning, the distressed "pain", the long-term "far". You said you wanted to stay with me for a long time, and in return, I would love you longer! ”
"You said it yourself first, you are born in the same nest and died in the same hole, and you are not allowed to break your word!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, their foreheads against each other, and their fingers interlocked.
On the day of the opening of Tengyuan Teahouse, Huo Zun was busy in the cavalry camp, and Lin Qianxue and Que Ming arrived early.
Because Huo Zun and Xia Qian have already become famous in the city, and they have opened the most high-grade teahouse in Qinglong City, there are many people who come to see the excitement.
People talked about it to their heart's content, and some said that the two were notorious and couldn't do much business.
Some people say that Xia Qian, who can copy Sanskrit in Fahua Temple, is not only talented, but also has a fairy spirit, and will be able to brew the best tea in the world.
Based on the fame of the husband and wife, since the opening of the early morning, the teahouse has been full of popularity, although they are just coming in to see, but it is enough to be excited for half a day.
In this era where the distinction between the noble and the low is clear, the tea art has not yet flown into the homes of ordinary people, and it is still in the upper class society.
Therefore, Xia Qian accepted Lin Qianxue and Yu Ming's suggestion, and decorated this teahouse elegantly and noblely, and the tea was strictly divided according to identity and grade.
Although the first floor is expensive, ordinary people can afford to grit their teeth and taste a cup. The second floor is completely a place for dignitaries to cook wine and taste tea and talk about heroes. On the third floor, you can't jinru if you don't have to ask, and the tea inside is even more priceless.
In curiosity, many people ran in to see the excitement, although the sky-high price of tea was approved for a long time, but after tasting the free tea prepared by Xia Qian, they couldn't help but praise and silently quit the teahouse.
Before lunch, the second wave of noble sons came in and walked around, and left in a daze at the sky-high price of tea inside.
After lunch, groups of civil officials came in, admired the tea leaves, mountain spring water and tea utensils for boiling tea on the booth for a long time, and silently admired the meeting, and finally their eyes fell on Xia Qian.
That look in his eyes seemed to see through the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
I thought that I had been rewarded like a monkey for a long time, and I had to give some tea for some thin noodles, but in the end, these people left like frosted eggplants.
Although Xia Qian was disappointed in her heart, there was no wave on her face.
After half a day, she has been sitting at the tea table on the first floor with Lin Qianxue and Que Ming, watching the guests coming and going in the tea house, and chatting while drinking tea.
"A cup of gentleman's tea has changed the fate of the three families of Kuo, Lu and Huo, these people are not only interested in your tea, but also interested in you, the singer sent by Kangguo!" Lin Qianxue smiled at Xia Qian with a joking smile.
Xia Qian glanced at her angrily, and replied angrily: "Others laugh at me, even you laugh at me!" ”
"With their virtue, they are embarrassed to drink the free tea, and the tea on the second floor is not willing to pay for it. It can't be any climate! ”
Que Ming's eyes fell on the tea bowl in his hand, and he chuckled and said: "These people's official positions are too low, and a pot of good tea on the second floor is their money for half a month, and it is just a blessing for their eyes!" ”
Half a day has passed, except for a bunch of people watching the excitement, there is not even a single customer, Xia Qian is a little bottomless.
"Are we setting the price too high?" Qingyue walked over and asked in Xia Qian's ear.
Que Ming saw through Qingyue's concerns at a glance, and smiled at Xia Qian: "What I offer you is the best tea in the world, and the best sweet spring water, if you can't sell it for a good price, it will be in vain for me to put in vain!" ”
He is right, in modern life, Xia Qian's family also runs a tea house, and the scale and grade are not bottom, she has been influenced by tea culture since she was a child, and she has strict requirements for tea and spring water.
The tea and spring water provided to her, including tea utensils and utensils, are all one in a thousand, and there are some things on the third floor that are rare in the world, and she has never even seen them before.
Lin Qianxue glanced at Que Ming, and reminded Xia Qian with a smile: "Yes, you here, Que Ming has spent a lot of thought, and many things can't even be taken out by our Liuyun Pavilion!" ”
"That's the price!" Xia Qian hesitated for a moment and said firmly to Qingyue.
A group of businessmen walked in, looked at the decorations on the first floor, tasted the free tea, and went up to the second floor with a smile.
Immediately after, three pots of Lushan clouds, three pots of dragon wells before the rain and more than a dozen small snacks were sent to the second floor.
"Que Ming, these are your friends, right? Such a generous shot? Xia Qian looked at Que Ming in surprise.
"There are two of them, and there are a few that I haven't met. Those two know that I have the tea and utensils you have here, so come and try them! ”
Xia Qian heard that they were friends, so she asked Qingyue to send a few more plates of snacks, but Que Ming said that these people loved face, and they were sent to the point where they seemed to be outside, and Xia Qian had no choice but to give up.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and more than twenty pro-soldiers walked in. Before everyone could react, Kuo Tianchen's laughter had already come from outside the door.
"Tengyuan Teahouse, the name is good! The couple's names are all included. Let's make a pot of gentleman's tea for this king first! Kuo Tianchen said and went to the counter, and looked at Xia Qian with his legs crossed.
"My gentleman's tea is only available to guests on the third floor, there is no seat for you there, please take care of yourself, little prince!" Xia Qian held the teacup in his hand, took a sip lightly, and said coldly to him.
Kuo Tianchen's eyes were crimson, and he said angrily: "This commander is here to drink tea, don't be ignorant!" Your Huo Zun was trampled under my feet in the pro-military camp, and now you come out to open a teahouse, and you will also be trampled under my feet! ”
