Chapter 215: Order the Best Tea
Mrs. Tang may not be so broad-minded, and said to the merchant with a straight face: "My sugar man, I pay for it myself." After that, he took out the money from his waist, but he must fight with the woman.
The woman said in a weird manner: "Mrs. Tang, you don't have a lot of money, I invite you to eat, you take it, they are all neighbors, what's uncomfortable." ”
"Ahem......" Shen Ao coughed twice, smiled, and said meaningfully: "Auntie, what Mrs. Yang said is not wrong, this sugar man is not a valuable thing, since it is Mrs. Yang's good intentions, it is always impossible to refute other people's face." ”
This woman's name is Mrs. Yang, and she originally thought that Shen Ao was facing her when she heard Shen Ao's words, but as soon as she chewed it, she felt that something was wrong, what is it that is not a valuable thing?
Mrs. Tang first understood, and then smiled: "Okay, Mrs. Yang is kind, I'm not welcome." ”
With this little episode, all the women knew that this Shen Ao was not simple, and the stupid nerd appearance turned out to be all pretended.
Mrs. Yang was even more angry, and she paid for it herself, but she didn't buy a good one, so she deliberately said to Shen Ao: "Where is Shen Gongzi?" ”
Shen Ao thought about it, his hometown in his previous life was in Jiangxi, and said, "I am from Hongzhou." ”
"Hongzhou?" Mrs. Yang pouted: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Shen Ao just smiled lightly, and Mrs. Tang came over to relieve the siege and said, "This is your loneliness, isn't there a rope pagoda in Hongzhou?" ”
Mrs. Yang was bored, and thought angrily in her heart, this Mrs. Tang and the person surnamed Shen actually joined forces to bully her! He deliberately laughed and said, "Oh, I remember, Shen Gongzi, are your parents still there?" ”
Shen Ao was an orphan in his previous life, and he was even more alone here, and said gloomily: "They are all dead." ”
Mrs. Yang said: "Parents are gone, you should save some money, it is better to do some business than to study, you look at that merchant, you can earn at least 300 yuan per day, don't look at him lowly, I am afraid that the family background is more solid than Mrs. Tang." ”
Mrs. Tang bit her lip and wanted to refute it, but was pulled by Tang Mo'er, and finally swallowed this breath.
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Mrs. Yang is right, if you say three hundred words, students can't earn so much even if they dream." ”
When Mrs. Yang heard this, she showed a little smugness and continued: "That's it, so if you are a man, you must put down the shelf, and don't hold it, otherwise you will be poor, and you will be afraid that you will not be able to make up the dowry when you marry a daughter." ”
"This woman's mouth is mean enough!" Shen Ao couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, but he didn't want to continue to talk to Mrs. Yang, these harsh words were like knives, and they were going to pierce Mrs. Tang's heart.
A few people passed by a tea shop, but this tea shop is a new shop, Shen Ao went to see the tea flag, which was written with four big characters of Suiya Tea House, and understood in his heart that this is one of the several branches that Wu San'er has recently opened.
Shen Ao said quietly: "It's just spring, and the weather is a little hot, I'm afraid it's still early for this temple fair, so let's go and take a sip of tea first." ”
Mrs. Tang smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to drink tea at home?" Why do you need to go to the tea house to spend money? ”
Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, isn't this surnamed Shen the candy man who just ate her, and now she wants to teach her to invite him to tea, right? Please just take advantage of the tea to humiliate and humiliate this nerd. Mrs. Yang had an idea in her heart, so she said with a smile: "I'm also a little thirsty, why don't we go in and sit down, Mrs. Tang, you can rest assured, you don't have to waste your money." ”
Mrs. Tang had a straight face, but she was silent; Everyone entered, the lobby was already full, and the business was good, Mrs. Yang said on the side: "This Suiya Tea House is a new store, but the way is not small, Shen Gongzi, have you heard of the Ya Mountain House?" ”
Shen Ao made a blank look and exclaimed, "What is the Yaya Mountain House?" ”
Mrs. Yang glanced at Shen Ao contemptuously, but said happily: "This elegant mountain house is the best tea house in Bianjing, there are three or four stores, and the price is also one of the best in the entire Bianjing City. It is said that this elegant mountain house has something to do with the palace. ”
Does it have something to do with the palace? Shen Ao couldn't help but say in his heart, how come I don't know!
Seeing his dazed appearance, Mrs. Yang continued to smile and said: "There are still words in the official handwriting of the imperial book in the head office of this tea shop, saying that the Ya Mountain House is a good tea shop, you see, even the official family says this, can this business still be hot?" These many businesses add up, and the owner of the mountain house can earn at least 50,000 yuan a year, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Mrs. Yang boasted of the elegant mountain house, and she thought that it was a very decent thing for her to invite everyone to come here for tea, and of course she should brag about it well; A few ladies on the side said, "In this way, isn't the tea here expensive?" ”
Mrs. Yang said: "This is natural, here, the lowest tea costs five yuan, if you serve the pastry again, you will be embarrassed to enter this store without thirty yuan." ”
Everyone sighed for a while, thirty yuan, that's enough to buy two catties of pork and a few liters of rice, and it's really a luxury to come here just to drink a sip of tea.
Mrs. Yang strode forward, and a guy came over with a smile and said, "Female guest officer, I don't know what tea you want to eat?" We have Lushan clouds and mist here, a product of Huangshan, Qingfeng fine leaves, and Huainan tender tips...... "He breathed a breath and reported more than a dozen tea names, in fact, some of these teas are famous teas, and some are the names given by Shen Ao for them.
Mrs. Yang's eyes look at the plaque on the wall, the tea shop is very clean and transparent, the furnishings are also more reasonable, on the wall, a vermilion lacquer plaque also records dozens of pastries and tea and names, and the price is written on the back, so that the tea customers can directly order tea and pastries according to their own consumption power.
Mrs. Yang saw the tea in front of her for hundreds of yuan, she couldn't help but be speechless, and kept looking down, and finally stopped in front of the four words of Huainan Nenjian, this Huainan Nenjian, as long as 20 Wen a pot, so many people, a total of two pots is enough, and you can order a few more pastries, the price can be controlled within 100 Wen, if it is more, Mrs. Yang is worried that she will not be able to pay the bill.
Mrs. Yang was about to say two pots of Huainan tender tips to Xiao Er, but unexpectedly, Shen Ao said later: "What kind of name is this Lushan cloud and mist?" ”
Xiao Ermei Fei Fei said: "The guest officer has good eyesight, this Lushan Yunwu is the most famous good tea in this store, this tea is produced in the Lushan of the Nankang Army, where the monks gather, climb the dangerous rock, and fly the spring." Wild tea is also picked to satisfy hunger and thirst. Each temple splits rocks and cuts valleys in the depths of the white clouds, plants tea trees, roasts tea leaves, because this tea tree is born in the clouds and mist of the mountain peaks, so it is called cloud tea. Bai Juyi, a great poet of the previous dynasty, once built a grass hall in Lushan incense burner peak, personally opened up a tea garden to grow tea, and left several tea poems, which are the most elegant. It is in this dynasty that the clouds and mist of Lushan are still listed as "tribute tea". Every year in the spring, there are servants of the worship department who go to pick tea and send it to the palace. ”
Nankang Jun was called Jiujiang in later generations, and Shen Ao couldn't help but smile and said: "This Lushan cloud mist is not far from my hometown, okay, let's have two pots of Lushan cloud and mist, and a few plates of pastries." It's just that there are no seats in this class, is there a box upstairs? ”
Xiao Er said: "There are wings upstairs, but you have to add another fifty yuan, and there are a few wings facing the temple fair, from where to see the temple fair is the most open, you need to add a hundred yuan." ”
Shen Ao said: "Then I want another wing room with a hundred Wen." After a pause, he continued to Xiao Er casually: "I'm bothering you to lead the way!" ”
Xiao Er immediately responded with a smile and led everyone upstairs first. That Mrs. Yang's face was already as earthy, and she just glanced at the price of Lushan Yunwu, but it was for five hundred wen a pot, two pots are consistent, plus pastries and wings, seven, seven, eight, eight add up to more than two.
Two times is a lot of money, ordinary people only pay this amount of money a month, although Mrs. Yang's family is quite solid, but where can she afford it, not to mention, even if she gritted her teeth to invite this guest, she didn't bring so much money with her! It must be known that two runs are two thousand texts, two thousand copper coins weigh several catties, an ordinary woman's family, just to catch a temple fair, but what to do with so much silver?
Mrs. Yang's face looked a little bruised, but she refused to show weakness, but thinking of the embarrassment of paying the bill later, she was already nervous in her heart, and glanced at Shen Ao, who was pretending to be generous, and couldn't help but think in her heart, this surnamed Shen is really slippery, is he deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Xiao Er took everyone to a side room tea house, the side room is very distinctive, with small lattice doors and small lattice windows open in a row, facing the temple fair. The walls are surrounded by antique shelves made of latticework, on which are placed some ceramic clay pots, and in the middle of the box, there is a long square table made of pear blossom wood, around which are placed six chairs made of yellow pear, making the whole room full of quaint style.
It's very clean and spotless, a row of paper windows are opened, and the sun shines down outside, and the whole café looks indescribably bright.
The little two smiled and said: "Childe, ladies and gentlemen, please wait, the little one will bring the tea and pastries immediately, if there is anything else to order, just shake this rope, and someone will come to serve." ”
Everyone looked at it, it was originally from the beam of the house, but there was a long rope hanging down, as long as the rope was shaken, this rope was connected to the back hall, and there was a bell hanging at that end, and when the bell rang, the errand runners knew that the guests were coming; This design, although simple, is exquisite, convenient and practical, and guests do not have to look around for people when they need it.
Looking from the window here, you can see the temple fair place at the corner of the street in the distance, where a big temple is six or seven zhang high, with three layers of light and three layers of darkness, which looks majestic and magnificent. The square in front of the temple is the crowd weaving, the merchant hawker shuttles in the meantime, all kinds of artists perform juggling hundreds of plays, the float dry boat, walking the rope pole, swallowing the knife and spitting fire, the bustle is very lively, countless people are crowded, and the sound of shouting at each other can be transmitted to the tea house.
What kind of living immortal, I'm afraid that it hasn't arrived yet, so the order on the street is quite disordered, Shen Ao is not in a hurry anyway, so he wants to take a sip of tea first, and then go to see what kind of convincing ability the living immortal has.
When the little second child left, everyone sat down, they were all a little weak-hearted, they had never drunk such expensive tea, but Shen Ao looked calm, and went to talk to Tang Mo'er in a low voice, seeing that Mrs. Yang secretly held a grudge, but holding a grudge was a grudge, and she was quite worried in her heart, if she couldn't pay the bill, what should she do? Fang Cai praised Haikou himself, if he couldn't come up with the money, he was afraid that he would teach people to laugh, and besides, how could this shop give up easily, and now he doesn't know what bad luck he had, but he ran into such a thing.
After a while, the tea and pastries were served, the teapot was hot, Shen Ao's nose twitched, and he could already smell the rich fragrance of tea at the tip of his nose, so he smiled and said: "I am a junior, and I should be the one who pours tea for your ladies." ”
Saying that, Shen Ao stood up and poured tea for everyone one by one with a teapot, in fact, if he said that he was slightly proficient in tea tasting, but these tea tasting skills naturally could not be shown in front of women, not Shen Ao was arrogant, but this kind of thing, since it should be meaningful to learn from people who know how to do it, so how the ladies drink tea, he also drinks, and never shows anything different.
Mrs. Tang said with a smile: "Shen Ao, look at you who are familiar with the road, you seem to be a frequent visitor here. ”
Shen Ao hurriedly said: "Today, it's just Mrs. Tuoyang's Hongfu, and the student is thick-skinned, so he looks a little familiar in front of his aunt." ”
All the women were silent, Shen Ao ordered such a good tea and Mrs. Yang's embarrassment, how could they not know? They were all a little uneasy, and they were all thinking in their hearts: "The two of them are competing, I don't know how to end later, hey, I hope Mrs. Yang brought two pieces of money to bring it out, otherwise these many people will just be scraping together, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to account." ”
