Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist
Chapter 32 Teahouse Interlude
The teahouse was full of people who came to have morning tea. The waiter was busy greeting the guests. He was busy all morning. After serving here, he was called over again. The shopkeeper and the boss of the teahouse are the same person. At the counter He smiled and greeted every guest he knew or didn't know.
This is a two-story teahouse. The lobby on the first floor is relatively spacious, and the tea sold is relatively cheap. For a few pennies, you can buy a large pot, order two ordinary snacks, and invite a few friends to join you. If you have time, you can even just sit there all day long. There is also a small stage in the hall for artists rushing to perform. In your free time, there are always artists who come up and say a few verses of a book or sing a few verses of songs to increase their popularity.
The second floor is much smaller than the first floor, and it is much fresher and more elegant. The small place is divided into small compartments. When you open the window, you can directly see the lake view in the distance, and the sound insulation effect of each room is also good. Yes, generally you won't be affected by the hustle and bustle on the first floor. The tea sold is much higher-end and the snacks are much more exquisite. You can't pay more than a few taels of silver at a time.
Murong Fu was sitting on the second floor of the teahouse at this time. There were four kinds of exquisite snacks on the tables in front of him, and there was also a small stove. The stove was not burning charcoal but dried pine branches. On the stove was a handful of fine snacks. Yixing purple clay teapot, the water is the fine mountain spring water brought by the boatman from Huishan.
The tea was boiled. Murong Fu poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. The aroma of tea filled his mouth and was refreshing. However, Murong Fu frowned slightly and knocked on the wall. Immediately, a waiter greeted him outside. Asked: "Sir, what do you need?"
Murong Fu ordered: "Go and call the shopkeeper up."
"Please wait."
Then I heard the waiter walking down the wooden stairs.
Murong Fu pressed his temples with his index finger, trying to relieve the fatigue caused by a sleepless night.
After leaving the ruined temple, Murong Fu used Qinggong all the way to Wuxi City.
Although the life of citizens in the Northern Song Dynasty was much richer than before, after all, it was still far behind the modern people in the previous life. In the past few months, Murong Fu had been accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. He suddenly felt uncomfortable staying up late. At this time, the inn was not open yet, so there was no place to catch up on sleep. Murong Fu simply found this teahouse and ordered Have a cup of tea and look at the river view.
Not long after, the teahouse owner came up led by the waiter. The teahouse owner sang "Oi" and Murong Fu nodded slightly as a greeting.
Seeing that Murong Fu was dressed luxuriously and well-groomed, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him at the moment and carefully asked, "Master, what do you need?"
Murong Fu smiled slightly: "I don't need anything at the moment. Seeing your hard work, the shopkeeper, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea. Please try it."
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You are joking, how dare I do you such a favor and offend me?"
Murong Fu said: "No problem, please."
Then, he made a gesture, which meant that he could not refuse.
The shopkeeper was helpless, and after confessing his crime to Murong Fu, he came to the table, carefully picked up the glistening cup of tea, gently blew away the foam on it, took a small sip, and narrowed his eyes slightly. His face suddenly darkened, and he said to the waiter in a deep voice: "Call the waiter who is responsible for serving tea!"
As soon as the waiter came up and before he could say anything, the shopkeeper slapped him in the face. Before he could react, the shopkeeper said coldly: "Kneel down!"
The waiter didn't know what was going on, but seeing that the shopkeeper's face was really ugly, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to obey the instructions obediently.
"You blind bitch, you are blinded by lard, and you use Yuqian tea as Mingqian tea for distinguished guests. Aren't you destroying our Dingxiang Tower's signboard?"
The shopkeeper pointed at the tea waiter who was kneeling on the ground and scolded him. The tea waiter was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to take a breath.
It turns out that West Lake Longjing is divided into different grades depending on the season. Of course, the rainfall may vary every year, but generally speaking, it is divided into four grades: Toucai, Touchun, Mingqian and After Rain.
The so-called first spring refers to the first tea leaves picked after the beginning of spring after the tea tree has gone through a winter. At this time, the tea tree has gone through a winter of dormancy. In addition, in spring, the temperature is low, there are few insect pests, and the rainfall is sufficient, the tea leaves are fresh and fresh. The fullness and taste are both excellent, and the first tea refers to the first wave of tea leaves picked after the tea trees bloom in spring. This grade is generally hard to come by, and only experienced guests can be lucky enough to taste it.
As the names suggest, Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea are tea leaves picked before Qingming and Guyu respectively. One word difference means a huge difference in value. There has always been a saying that "Mingqian tea is as valuable as gold".
This small cup of tea cost a full twenty taels of silver. Although it was nothing to Murong Fu, it was still equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary family for a month.
The waiter mistakenly ordered Murong Fu's Mingqian Longjing tea instead of Yuqian tea. No matter what the reason was, it was an annoying thing.
Murong Fu did not have a fit on the spot, but just asked the shopkeeper to come up and take a sip. The shopkeeper had been in the tea business for many years and was experienced in this. Naturally, he immediately understood what Murong Fu was referring to and immediately called the waiter to reprimand him.
Murong Fu watched the shopkeeper's actions quietly, while the waiter just remained silent and did not dare to speak. When he arrived, the shopkeeper saw that Murong Fu was silent and smiled at Murong Fu and said: "Master, do you think this is okay? This time your expenses will be counted as the shop's expense, and the shop will provide you with the food from Cui for free." Yunlou asked two singing ladies to come and drink tea with you, what do you think?"
Murong Fu said coldly: "Do you think I am in need of that two taels of silver?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, with a look of shame on his face. Then he gritted his teeth and said to the waiter: "You shameless bitch, get out of here. You won't be here tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately hugged the shopkeeper's thigh and cried: "No, Second Uncle, I really made a mistake this time. I won't dare to do it again next time. Second Uncle, please forgive me."
There was a hint of intolerance on the shopkeeper's face, but he couldn't agree, so he had to look at Murong Fu. Murong Fu ignored him and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Seeing that Murong Fu didn't speak, the shopkeeper finally seemed to have made up his mind and said to the waiter: "Ah Si, ask two people to throw this piece of shit out!"
"Yes, from the shopkeeper!"
The waiter agreed.
After a while, two big men came up, held the waiter on the floor, and left, walked out of the store, threw him on the street, and let him beg and cry, but ignored him.
The shopkeeper looked at Murong Fu cautiously: "Master, are you satisfied with this handling?"
Murong Fu didn't even answer. He just put down a piece of silver on the table and walked downstairs with a flick of his sleeves. The teahouse owner behind him kept saluting: "Master, please go slowly and come back often when you have time."
After leaving the store, the waiter was still crying and begging at the door. When he saw Murong Fu coming out, he glared at Murong Fu hatefully. When he saw Murong Fu glance over at him from the corner of his eye, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Murong Fu took a step forward and walked away.
In the next episode, a girl is scheduled to appear. Can you guys guess who it is?
