After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

The two followed the shop girl through the door.

There were many people gathered in front of the counter on the first floor, including the master and servants of various families. They were either complaining that the tea was sold too fast and they couldn't buy it themselves, or they were saying that the tea was too expensive, although they were not making any noise. , but the buzzing sound still gives people a headache.

Xie Ziqi and Shen Chuan quickened their pace, bypassing the crowd and going upstairs.

Finally took a seat in the private room on the second floor.

As soon as the door is closed, the noise outside is completely cut off, as if there are two worlds. Only by listening carefully can you hear some subtle noises.

Xie Ziqi looked surprised: "You guys have done quite well in this private room!"

The shop girl pursed her lips and smiled, and took out a brochure from under the table: "This is the tea from our teahouse. You two gentlemen, take a look."

There were only two types of tea on the palm-sized book, but there were many types of snacks, both sweet and savory, and green tea was the best pairing.

One is called "Qing Ming" and the other is "Bringing the Fragrance of Flowers".

There's really no choice.

"Let's just have some tea," Xie Ziqi said, "and some of these snacks."

The shop girl said "yes", put away the book, opened the door and walked out.

The moment the door was opened, the noise from outside suddenly flooded in, but as the door was closed, those sounds were no longer heard.

"This place is good," Shen said, "but it's a bit expensive."

"Expensive?" Xie Ziqi said as he changed his posture and leaned lazily on the table, "Jinjie! But let me tell you, this tea is really good and definitely worth the money! "

Shen Chuan did not speak, but raised his eyes and looked around the room.

The furnishings and arrangements in this room are nothing special. Like most teahouses in the capital, they are elegant and elegant, but they are all the same. It is obvious that the owner has not put any thought into the interior decoration at all.

However, the sound insulation of this elegant room alone outweighs everything else.

Shen Chuan withdrew his gaze and said: "In the capital, even the best tea costs only two hundred taels of silver per catty, but one tael of tea here costs thirty-five taels of silver, which equals three hundred and fifty taels per catty... …I wonder who is behind this teahouse with such a big appetite.”

"Who cares? Who can come to this Golden Street to buy things? Who is short of these one hundred and eighty taels?" Xie Ziqihun said nonchalantly, "Just drink it!"

While talking, the shop girl reopened the door and came in carrying a tray.

There was a small and exquisite tea scale on the tray. The shop girl walked to the table, adjusted the scale, picked up the tea clip in the tray, took out the tea leaves and put them on the scale.

After careful and fine-tuning until the heights on both sides were almost the same, the shop girl poured the tea leaves in the weighing pan into the wooden saucer on the table, and put the other utensils back into the tray: "One or two tea leaves."

Xie Ziqi saw it freshly.

He had never seen anything being weighed on site before.

It's quite rare.

After weighing the tea leaves, the shop girl began to boil water.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to boil the water, Xie Ziqi said, "The people down there haven't left yet?"

The shop girl nodded: "Yes, some people left and came back, saying they wanted to guard the door."

Xie Ziqi clicked his tongue twice.

This group of people in the capital has never seen anything good. He has grown up in the capital, and this is the first time he has seen such a big scene in more than 20 years.

The water was boiled quickly and after letting it dry for a while, the shop girl started making tea.

She moves smoothly and doesn't have too many fancy moves.

Hot water is poured into the cup, and the tea leaves in the cup are rolled and swirled by the water. The leaves stretch, the tea leaves gradually become more and more fragrant, and a particularly refreshing smell emerges.

The shop girl finished making tea and left. Another shop girl came up with snacks and left after placing them.

"Try it!" Xie Ziqi held the tea cup in his hand, took a deep sniff, and said with enjoyment, "Fortunately, my Jingke and Mrs. Gu are good friends. In the past half month, other people in the capital have been thinking about this sip. Our family is the only one who has to worry about it, because we can drink it every day!"

"Mrs. Gu?" Shen Chuan was slightly stunned, "What does this tea have to do with Mrs. Gu?"

"If you haven't been in the capital recently, don't you know that this tea is the original creation of an old friend of Mrs. Gu. Half a month ago, Mrs. Gu specially saved up for this tea, and that's why we have such a good taste!" Xie Ziqi said as he said He lowered his head and took a sip.

Shen Chuan also lowered his head to drink tea.

After tasting it for a long time, a smile appeared on Shen Chuan's face: "As expected of Mrs. Gu's friend, this tea is indeed worth the money."

Xie Ziqi hummed proudly: "Just thank me! If it weren't for me, would you be able to afford such good tea?"

Shen Chuan smiled silently and just lowered his head to drink tea.

-

Even though the tea had been sold out long ago, there was an endless stream of people coming and going in this teahouse until it was almost dark.

Madam Wu had wondered several times whether someone had stolen the sign that said SOLD OUT that she placed at the door. She even went out to take a look, only to find that the sign was still there.

So Wu Niangzi had no choice but to go back to the counter and patiently repeated the same sentence: "There is really no more today, please come back tomorrow!"

Seeing that it was getting dark and the streets were lit up with lights, Madam Wu left the shop in charge of her subordinates while she went out through the back door and rode a carriage to the Anyuan Hou Mansion.

Wu Niangzi did not avoid people when she came over. The concierge of the Hou Mansion had met Wu Niangzi and knew that this person was a friend of his wife, so he quickly invited the people into the Hou Mansion, entertained them with good tea and snacks, and then let the people go. I sent a message to Shaoguang Academy.

After receiving Jiang Fuyue's order, the people from the second room came over and took Mrs. Wu to Shaoguang Courtyard.

After seeing Jiang Fuyue, Lady Wu bowed and sat down in the main hall.

"I've heard everything about what happened on Jin Street today. Business is really booming." Jiang Fuyue said with a smile.

Madam Wu also laughed. After Jingzhe and Guyu closed the door, she stood up and walked to Jiang Fuyue. She took out a pile of banknotes from her sleeves and said, "Today's thirty kilograms of tea have all been used up, and we have received many casual guests." We received a total of twelve thousand taels of silver from the guests, and we also received some individual guests, which amounted to more than a hundred taels, and they are all here, Madam."

Jiang Fuyue's eyes fell on those banknotes: "Give it to me now?"

Mrs. Wu nodded: "Ms. Zhou said that now that we are close, there is more money, so naturally it will be handed over to you that night."

Jiang Fuyue took the silver note in her hand, divided the fractions of the one hundred taels, and took out another two thousand taels separately: "Put these hundred taels of silver in the store for emergency use. Take these two thousand taels back. Divide it yourself."

"This, how can this be done!" Madam Wu said quickly, "This is all our responsibility. Madam, what you have given me is too much!"

Jiang Fuyue shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to come all the way from Liangzhou. Take it."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu still refused to accept it, Jiang Fuyue said again: "This is the first time, so I gave you a lot more. I won't want it anymore in the future, so take it now!"

After hearing this, Lady Wu hesitantly took the money and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will take the money back and give it to Lady Zhou."
