Chapter 14 Services
In the middle of the hour, at the end of spring, the sun that had not been seen for several days shone lazily, Yun Niang sat under the peach tree in the west wing of the Jiang family's small courtyard with an embroidered bandage in her hand, and dozed off little by little.
Last night, Jiang Hanfei forced her to write down all the tea names and characteristics she knew. This is not a big deal, she is not good at tea ceremony, and the tea she knows is limited, and it takes half an hour to write it all. The problem is that after she finished writing, the sister read it twice, and told her that she didn't know a few words, so she had to be forced to read it again, and it wouldn't take long to read it once, anyway, she wrote a dozen kinds of tea, a total of six pages. However, after reading it again, the sister said that she wrote a little awkwardly, and she didn't understand some of the meanings, and she needed to explain them again. When she finally finished explaining, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally pack up and sleep.
Who knew that when she made the bed for Xiao An, talked with him, and when she returned to her room, she saw her sister Yue holding the pieces of paper in one hand and the black things in the other, sitting at the table looking at her. When she entered the house, she immediately said, "I got a charcoal stick, you can read it to me again, and I will mark the places that I don't understand and don't know." β
This morning, when she was sleeping soundly, this Jiang girl called her outside the door again, saying that she and Xiao An went to the market stall to buy soy milk and pancakes...... She almost couldn't hold back her anger when she got up.
There was a knock on the door, and she was so startled that she stuck the embroidery needle in her hand, and woke up in pain.
She lowered her head and glanced at Xiao An, who was squatting on the ground holding a branch to write and draw - in the past ten days, no one would knock on the door at this time, thinking of this, both of them had nervousness and fear in their eyes, and the hairs on their bodies were vigilant.
Just when they guessed that they didn't dare to step forward, Aunt Liu's scolding sounded outside: "You unconscious stinky boy, my mother doesn't want you to have a big future, my mother just needs you to look at the door in the yamen and honestly give me marriage and children!" What are you going to do with your three-legged cat? Didn't your father's lesson make you remember it a little longer? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Your master agreed to let you go, look at your master's current appearance, what is the cause of this? If he dares to let you go, I'll ask him what kind of heart he has! β
Then there was a louder knock on the door, and a little impatient.
Yun Niang hurriedly cleaned up the things under the peach tree, and Xiao An ran to open the door, and it was Liu Dakang and Aunt Liu who suddenly appeared outside the door.
Liu Dakang, who was full of gloom, glanced at Xiao An, pulled his lips and smiled, and looked up to see Yun Niang, who was bending down to lift another stool under the peach tree. She was still wearing the same clothes she wore last night, and when she saw him looking over, she quickly put down the stool, lowered her head and said in a gentle voice that made his heart tremble: "Auntie, Brother Da Kang, you have something to discuss with your uncle, right?" Then Xiao An and I will go back to the house first. β
As she spoke, she bent her knees to their side, and before they could respond, she reached out to beckon Xiao An, picked up the stool, and entered the west chamber.
He didn't withdraw his eyes until the corner of his coat had completely disappeared behind the door, and his eyes drooped, and he caught a glimpse of his mother approaching him, staring thoughtfully at his face. He was immediately startled, and the slight heat on his face faded with fright.
He hurriedly raised his head and lowered his face, and tried his best to use the steps that seemed to be steady, and strode towards Daddy Jiang's main house.
Seeing this scene, Aunt Liu didn't care about anything else, and chased after her with a scolding scolding.
Jiang Han didn't know about these episodes, at this moment she was standing at the door of the teahouse and bowing her hand, facing the three guests who were walking with their heads held high and shaking their heads and shaking their heads into the store.
These three guests, one in his thirties, wore a blue-collared cotton shirt with a blue background, a scarf tied on his head, wide square cheeks, and a pair of thick eyebrows twitching under the gray scarf, which did not make him look extravagant, but implied anger. As he walked to his side, Jiang Han felt that his straight shirt seemed to be a little narrow, and the tendon flesh on his shoulders loomed when he moved. The next twenty-five or sixteen-year-old, wearing a cardigan coat and a scarf on his head, should have been very chic, but with the thin lips and triangular hanging eyes on his long face, he was not chic in his actions, but treacherous. The one who walked last, under the age of a weak crown, was dressed in blue and gray short kudzu, and his eyes were rolling, and at first glance he was the retinue or younger brother of the first two.
Jiang Han studied it in his heart, and felt that although these three people looked like they were not easy to mess with, and their clothes were a little nondescript, the clothes were still good, and although their temperament and demeanor did not have much righteousness, they did not reveal cringe and sourness. So, at least there should be a few bucks.
Although she thought so much in her heart, she had already put on a bean-eye complimenting smile on her face, half a step behind the guests who were walking at the head, and said out a bean-eye signature greeting: "Guest officer, please upstairs, the upstairs private room is still empty, you want to drink tea and chat while watching the scenery, and you can chat quietly without being disturbed." What do you think? β
Whether it was a trick or not, before she could figure it out, the three guests walked upstairs familiarly. She didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly caught up, and went up to Song Yaozu, who was halfway down to boil water and get tea.
Jiang Han deliberately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block: "Brother Song, you go downstairs and look at it, and be careful of bumping into the guests."
After the three guests walked by, she withdrew her hand and raised her head to follow, looking very proud, and deliberately bumped into Song Yaozu's left shoulder when she mismatched his shoulder.
Song Yaozu grabbed the handrail of the stairs, turned his head and glared angrily at Jiang Han's back, squinted his eyes and snorted disdainfully: "I don't have the ability to fart, I don't know it with a big mouth of nonsense, and when you stupid guy crys." β
Jiang Han, who followed the guests into the elegant room not facing the street in the east, didn't care what he said. At this time, she was enthusiastically recommending refreshments to the guests: "Guest officer, what kind of tea do you order?" We have tea here such as Guzhang Maojian, Jade Emperor Yinfeng, Yuntai pine needles, Longjing in Zhejiang, Biluochun in Suzhou, and our special green tea on Luoxia Mountain. Give the three of you some ancient hairy tips? Snacks include lotus paste cake, red bean cake, chestnut cake, cloud cake, melon seeds and peanuts......"
Don't look at what she said so slippery, in fact, she just combined what she heard and watched yesterday and what Yun Niang said last night, and half-truths and half-truths to decorate the faΓ§ade.
After cleaning in the morning, she happily took Yun Niang's few pieces of paper into the warehouse, and after studying the two papers, she saw that Song Douyan had taken tea five or six times one after another, and she couldn't help but run to the lobby to watch. After standing at the door for a while, these three were ushered in, and it happened that Song Douyan was not downstairs, and she didn't seize the opportunity, so she would be even more stupid than a stupid person.
Anyway, there are so many real, in case the guest is still selected, and she doesn't know or doesn't have the tea, she just says that it's sold out.
Fortunately, these three guests were probably in a hurry to send her out, and if she recommended it, they would ask for it, which made Jiang Han's self-confidence swell for a while.
Jiang Han happily went downstairs to prepare the order, happily brought the things upstairs, and deliberately explained after placing the refreshments: "You guys use it slowly!" Call me at any time if you need anything, my name is Jiang Han, and I am a new guy in this store, a little shorter, a little smaller, and a little more handsome than the other thin guy I just met on the stairs. If you have something to do, just call me, even if you want to hear a joke, I'll be there for the villain. The three of them were full of strange faces by her chatter, and waved her impatiently to drive her out.
The time slowly came to noon, the meal time was approaching, the guests came scattered, and Jiang Han didn't grab a table of guests. However, it doesn't matter anymore, her small goal today is to get a bounty!
And this small goal is about to be completed, and the guests have all entered the private room, are you embarrassed to go downstairs if you don't appreciate it? I wonder if I'll be rewarded with silver!
At that time, she must smash this money on Song Douyan's face - it's a pity, it will make the money dirty, it's better to blind him, hahaha!
Thinking like this, she didn't have the heart to do anything else, and all her attention was on these three guests.
Two quarters of an hour ago she was thinking about how much money she could get, and after two quarters of an hour, she felt that the guest's tea must have been drunk, and now it was time for her to take the initiative to show her warm service. So she picked up the kettle, ran upstairs, knocked on the door of the private room three times, and pushed the door directly to get in. The door opened less than a foot wide and met with resistance. She stretched out her head in confusion to find out, but a figure blocked the crack in the door, and a gloomy voice came from her head: "You little second is really rude, I didn't ask you to enter the door, but I opened the door and came in by myself!" β
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that your tea will run out, and I'll come up and add water to the three of you!" She smiled pleasantly, and held up the kettle in her hand to show him, "By the way, I would like to ask if you need anything else." β
After listening to Jiang Han's words, he frowned, looked at her with disgust, snatched the kettle, and drove people away with a fierce face: "It's okay, don't come to disturb yourself, if we have an order, we will naturally call you!" β
In this way, her first spring-like intimate service ended in being driven out before it was shown.
