"Brother Xue, why have you been there for so long?" Zhao Yunqi saw Xue Hanjiang entering the door with a bunch of things, and hurriedly went up to help get some.

The two of them put the tea leaves on the counter, and Xue Hanjiang replied, "No way, I drank tea over there for a while." I just learned today how casual it turns out that we make tea here. ”

"Aren't we making tea like this?" Zhao Yunqi wondered.

Xue Hanjiang nodded, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the teahouse at this time, he casually took a box of moon bud tea, made tea according to the tea making technique Ye Qingchen said, and then handed a cup to Zhao Yunqi.

Zhao Yun sniffed it first, carefully recalled the taste of the tea brewed before, and after a little comparison, it seemed that the fragrance of Xue Hanjiang was stronger this time. He drank it slowly in three sips according to what Xue Hanjiang said, and soon his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Brother Xue, the taste of bud tea has really become better this month." This is really amazing, why didn't our teahouse make tea like this before?"

Xue Hanjiang sighed: "This world is beyond our imagination, and there are too many things we don't know. What the predecessors said, live to old age and learn old, this is probably the truth. ”

Zhao Yunqi didn't quite understand these big truths, shrugged his shoulders, and helped sort out the tea leaves, he saw the three boxes of tea leaves, and asked curiously: "Brother Xue, this tea doesn't seem to be what we didn't have here before?"

"Oh, that's the new tea from the Yan Dynasty. Xue Hanjiang replied.

Zhao Yunqi looked at these three boxes of exquisite-looking tea leaves, and asked, "Brother Xue, how should these tea leaves be sold? How much silver does each pot cost?"

"Jade tea and red maple tea are ten gold per box, and Yunlongwu tea is twenty gold per box. A box of tea leaves is about a catty, and a pot of tea is about a penny, and it is estimated that it can make a hundred pots. Xue Hanjiang silently calculated in his heart, and then said: "Jade tea and red maple tea are two two and one pot, and Yunlong mist tea is five and two and one pot." ”

Zhao Yunqi looked stunned, he didn't expect these three kinds of tea to be so expensive, they were all comparable to the most expensive Yunwu pine tea in the store, and he was puzzled: "Brother Xue, you also know that there are very few people who drink expensive tea here, why do you sell so much?"

"We have more tea here, maybe there will be more customers. Xue Hanjiang explained with a slight weakness that he didn't think about this problem at all when he bought it.

Zhao Yunqi said: "Brother Xue, I haven't seen you care about business for so long?"

"Ahem, your brother Xue is just more optimistic. Xue Hanjiang was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll go write a sign and hang it outside, saying that we have new tea here." ”

The following days became dull again, there was no news from Liu Sisi, and the business of the store did not change because of the new tea. After all, this is just a small teahouse, most of the rich old men go to the big teahouse restaurants, and most of the people who come here are ordinary people, and they will not be willing to drink such expensive tea. Occasionally, some people tried it from a few regular customers in the past, and Xue Hanjiang learned Ye Qingchen's technique to make tea for them, which surprised them.

Today is only a few days away from the New Year, the streets and alleys are filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, Xue Hanjiang also went to buy Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, lanterns and other things in advance, the Spring Festival couplets have been posted at the door of the teahouse today, and the lanterns have also been hung. At this time, the guest teahouse also looked a little more joyful.

"Snow Boy, your shop is very well dressed!" At this time, a woman in a white fur cloak walked into the store with a girl in green clothes at the door, and smiled at Xue Hanjiang. At this time, there were still many guests in the teahouse, and the eyes of several young men were attracted by this woman's appearance, and their faces showed a little obsession.

Xue Hanjiang heard this, looked up, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ye, why do you two have time to come to me?"

"The New Year is approaching, and our Thousand Tea Shop is closed today, and we will not open again until the end of the New Year. Only then did I have time to come over and thank Xue Gongzi in person. Ye Qingchen showed a soft smile on his face, and saluted Xue Hanjiang: "Thank you Xue Gongzi for helping you that day, the Golden Snake Gang hasn't come to make trouble anymore these days." When the young men in the teahouse saw her smile, their eyes became even more obsessed.

"Thank you, Snow Boy. Ye Qingyan also thanked him, but his expression was slightly embarrassed.

Xue Hanjiang said a little helplessly: "Why should the two of you be polite, it's just a little help in the next place." ”

"Why should Snow Boy be modest. Ye Qingchen took out an invitation card from his sleeve, handed it to Xue Hanjiang, and then said: "Xue Gongzi is going to have a banquet for our big customers this year in Chunhua Pavilion tomorrow night, and I also hope that Xue Gongzi can enjoy it then." ”

Xue Hanjiang looked at the red invitation in his hand, and then looked at Ye Qingchen's sincere eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse, nodding and saying, "Then thank you Shopkeeper Ye for the invitation." ”

"Now that the invitation has been delivered, we won't bother. Ye Qingchen said goodbye to Xue Hanjiang, and Xue Hanjiang sent them out of the door, and they left in the obsessive eyes of the young men in the teahouse.

Zhao Yunqi carried the kettle and asked curiously, "Brother Xue, who are those two beautiful sisters?"

"The shopkeeper of the Thousand Tea Workshop, I bought the tea from their house yesterday. Xue Hanjiang replied.

A young man over there also got up and came to Xue Hanjiang's side, and asked in a low voice, "Boss Xue, I don't know who those two girls were just now?"

Xue Hanjiang replied: "Young Master Ning, the two girls just now are the shopkeeper Ye and her sister of the Thousand Tea Workshop in the east of the city. ”

"Thank you, Boss Xue. This Ning Gongzi saluted and returned to his seat, whispering to another young man at the same table.

Xue Hanjiang shook and said to himself, "Could it be that this is my fair lady, good gentleman?"

Xue Hanjiang thought that since he was going to a banquet tomorrow night, it would be difficult to wear this old clothes. Fortunately, he had already made a new dress in advance, which he wanted to wear for the New Year, and he wore it to the banquet this time.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet in the snow and cold river. He closed the teahouse early, changed into a white robe, told Xiaobai to be at home, and went out.

This Chunhua Pavilion is located in the east of the city and is the most famous restaurant in Xuandu. Xue Hanjiang admired the Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns posted by various households on the roadside, and slowly walked towards the Chunhua Pavilion.

"This is Chunhua Pavilion. Xue Hanjiang came to a tall attic, looked up, this attic has three floors, carved beams and painted buildings, very luxurious. It is covered with beautiful red lanterns, and above the gate hangs a huge plaque with three large golden characters written on it: Chunhua Pavilion.

Xue Hanjiang followed what was written on the sticker, and under the leadership of Xiao Er, he came to the No. 6 box on the second floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Ye Qingchen sitting in the main seat, talking to several men who had already sat down, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing brocade clothes was constantly persuading Ye Qingchen to drink at this time. As soon as she saw Xue Hanjiang coming in, she hurriedly stood up as if she saw a savior, and said to Xue Hanjiang: "Xue Gongzi, you are here, hurry up and do it." She pointed to the seat on her right, and the person she sat on the right was her sister Ye Qingyan.

At this time, although the people at the table had not yet arrived, they had already arrived, and most of them were men who were not young and richly dressed. When they heard Ye Qingchen speak, they all looked over, and there was a vicious feeling in their eyes, but they found that Ye Qingchen was only greeting a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and his face looked good.

Xue Hanjiang saw Ye Qingchen greeting him, and it was not easy to refuse, so he sat down beside him. The middle-aged man who persuaded the wine showed a look of displeasure at first, but then smiled at Ye Qingchen and said, "Isn't the shopkeeper Ye introduced!" The rest of the people also showed curiosity, this young man can actually sit next to Ye Qingchen, it is the son and nephew of a big man in Xuandu.

"This Snow Boy is the owner of the Kelai Teahouse in the west of the city. Ye Qingchen introduced.

"Coming to the teahouse?"

"I've never heard of it. ”

"It seems to be a small teahouse next to Xizhimen, the store is quite small, and most of the tea sold is some inferior tea. ”

"It's just a poor boy who has not dried up, and he is lucky to be favored by the shopkeeper Ye. ”

"I can't see that Shopkeeper Ye originally likes old cows to eat tender grass!"

Many of the people present discussed it softly when they heard it, and there were a lot of foul language. Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Ye Qingchen and Ye Qingyan also guessed when they saw their lewd looks, Ye Qingyan was angry and was about to have a seizure, but Ye Qingchen grabbed her hand under the table. Ye Qingyan looked back, only to see Ye Qingchen shaking his head at her helplessly, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Xue Hanjiang heard these people's discussions, his face was silent, but in his heart he was very disgusted with these well-dressed beasts.

At this time, another person entered the box, and when everyone looked over, they saw that the man was wearing a square crown and a mink coat, and he was dignified and bearded. His sideburns were slightly white, and he was obviously a little old. Before Ye Qingchen could stand up and greet him, the rest of the people stood up one after another, bowed and said, "I've seen Jin Sanye." ”

This person coughed, nodded to everyone, looked at Ye Qingchen again, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ye, it's been a long time." ”

Ye Qingchen and Ye Qingyan both stood up and saluted respectfully to this Jin Third Master: "I've seen Jin Third Master." ”

At this time, only Xue Hanjiang sat in his seat with a blank face, looking at everyone. Someone on the side said in a weird manner: "This snow boy has such a big face! Jin Sanye is here, he is so rude!" Everyone looked at Xue Hanjiang, and Jin Sanye also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Xue Hanjiang showed an innocent expression and said, "I don't know this Jin Sanye, what do you do with me?"

Ye Qingchen also showed embarrassment on his face at this time, and was about to explain to Jin Sanye, but before he could speak, he saw Jin Sanye laughing and said, "I see that this little brother really doesn't know me." Besides, I'm not an official, so you don't have to be polite, let's sit down first. ”

Seeing that Jin Sanye sat down at this table, Xue Hanjiang also began to secretly speculate about what the identity of this Jin Sanye was. In a short time, everyone had already arrived, and all the food and drinks were served.
