Chapter 182 Tea House Opening

In the Su Mansion, Su Qing and Jiangshi are busy with the ice making workshop and tea house every day. The weather is getting hotter and the teahouse has opened. Su Qing gave the teahouse a simple name: Shuxin Teahouse. As the name suggests, guests who drink tea here will feel very comfortable.

On the day of the opening, King Jin came over early and brought valuable gifts. Su Qing personally took King Jin to the private room on the second floor. The shopkeeper, Tong Kuan, was so excited that he had close contact with King Jin for the first time. , carefully serving tea and snacks.

Su Qing settled down Queen Jin and went out with Jiang to greet other guests. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a gorgeous carriage stopped. The fourth prince Zhao Linhan jumped out of the carriage and complained when he saw Su Qing.

"Qingqing! The Second Emperor Brother is so unrighteous. We agreed to come here together today. Just now I went to see him at Prince Jin's Mansion, and the guard guarding the door actually said that the Second Emperor Brother had been here a long time ago!"

The fourth prince complained while asking his servants to bring up the congratulatory gifts.

"Qingqing, congratulations on the successful opening of your teahouse! Business is booming! From now on, I will have a place to drink tea when I leave the palace!"

Su Qing smiled and asked Qingzhu to take the gift and saluted the fourth prince.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince, for coming! His Highness Prince Jin has just arrived. He is in the private room on the second floor. I will take you up to find him."

The fourth prince nodded and followed Su Qing into the teahouse. As soon as he entered, he felt a slight chill on his face, immediately sweeping away the summer heat. The fourth prince couldn't help but ask

"Qingqing, why is it so cool in your teahouse!" The fourth prince even felt that it was cooler than his father's imperial study. Although there was more ice stored in the palace, there was not much left after it was divided into each palace. , The emperor reviews the memorials every day, so it is important to use the imperial study first.

Su Qing smiled playfully

"Of course I put ice on it!"

"What? Ice? How much ice does such a big tea house need to be so cool?"

The fourth prince thought that even if there was ice, it would be for the distinguished guests in the private rooms on the second floor. Unexpectedly, ice was also used in the lobby on the first floor. The Su Mansion used to be a palace, and he knew the size of the palace's ice cellar. It was not very big and could satisfy the masters of the mansion for a whole summer. Even if the Su family was small, they would certainly not be willing to use ice like this. So he tentatively asked

"Qingqing, did you take half of Su Mansion's ice and use it on the opening day?"

Su Qing smiled and shook her head

"No, our Shuxin Teahouse will use ice all summer long. Otherwise, when the weather is so hot, which customer would be willing to go out and have a party in the teahouse."

"Use ice all summer?!" The fourth prince opened his mouth in surprise, "Qingqing, even if your ice cellar is full of ice, it won't be enough for the teahouse to use for the whole summer! Did you buy ice from the market? That's not a small amount!"

Su Qing shook her head again after hearing this.

"Fourth Prince, how long has it been since you left the palace? Didn't His Highness Prince Jin tell you that my family has an ice-making workshop? All the ice used in the teahouse is shipped from the ice-making workshop! We don't We need to buy ice from outside! Moreover, our ice-making workshop also sells ice to outsiders, which is half cheaper than the market!"

The fourth prince listened to Su Qing's words, but his mouth opened wider and wider. Su Qing used his hand to hold up the fourth prince's chin in a funny way and help him close his mouth.

"Fourth Prince, let's go upstairs!"

Due to the increased status of the Su family in the capital, and the fact that Prince Jin and the fourth prince were in charge today, the prominent families in the capital sent gifts to make friends with them. Su Qixuan and Su Rui also took leave today to help Su. Qing and Jiang welcomed him and sent him off. Even the emperor sent Eunuch Xi to send generous congratulatory gifts. Now, everyone felt that it was right to make friends with the Su family. And everyone felt that it was really cool in Shuxin Teahouse. Although the tea was the same as other teahouses, the dim sum here was something they had never tasted before.

In order to make unique snacks, Su Qing specifically asked the mason to make a large oven according to the drawings she drew in the early stage. She also cooked by herself and baked the cake according to the memory of her previous life. Although it was not as good as the one in the cake shop in her previous life. However, just a few flavors made the guests in the teahouse full of praise. Jiang also sternly told the chefs who specialize in baking cakes to keep the secret recipe of the cake secret. If it is leaked, they will be sued to the government and put in jail. However, the Su family gave them more monthly money than elsewhere, and each of the cooks promised not to tell anyone. Jiang was still worried and made them sign a confidentiality agreement and take their fingerprints before giving up.

For a whole morning, the Su family was busy without touching the ground, and their faces were frozen with laughter. Even the personal bodyguard Phantom was sent by Su Qing to serve as a waiter in the teahouse. In the afternoon, there were not so many guests, and everyone had time to sit down and rest. Tong Kuan brought a simple meal and said respectfully

"Master, Madam, Young Master, County Lord, I bought some simple meals from the restaurant next door. Masters, please eat some first."

Jiang nodded, "Shopkeeper Tong, you have worked hard too. Go down and have dinner with the guys."

After shopkeeper Tong went down, Su Qing rubbed her sore face and said

"I'm exhausted, mother. Fortunately, we hired some guys in advance. Otherwise, the two guys from before would definitely be too busy."

Jiang touched Su Qing's head distressedly

"After dinner, you can go back home and rest. Mom will keep an eye on you in the teahouse."

Su Qing was moved, but still shook her head

"No, I'm so young, so this tiredness doesn't matter. My parents are older. If you're too tired, just go back and rest."

Su Qixuan waved his hand

"How old is Dad? You're not tired! There will be fewer people in the afternoon, but if there are dignitaries from the capital, Dad will show more respect here."

Suri also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Qingqing, we are not tired. We were still in the teahouse in the afternoon, but to be honest, I heard many people say this morning that our teahouse is cool and the snacks are delicious. Some guests bought some before leaving. Take some snacks back for your family to eat, it seems that the snacks Qingqing has researched these days are indeed very popular!"

"Since eldest brother also thinks it's delicious, I'll ask the kitchen to make more tomorrow, and eldest brother will take it to Ding Mansion for Xiangxiang to eat!" Su Qing joked while eating the food.

Suri couldn't help but blush, but still nodded happily and agreed. This morning, Ding Xiang and Doctor Ding also came to congratulate her. Ding Xiang said the snacks were delicious before leaving. At that time, he was busy seeing off guests and forgot to pack some snacks for Ding Xiang. When I go to Ding Mansion tomorrow, I must apologize to Ding Xiang first.
