The three of them smiled and whispered all the way and soon arrived at the back door of Zhaofu Department Store. Chen Qing confirmed the return journey with Old Man Liu, and then took his sister for a stroll.

Today, apart from going to the store to inquire about embroidery work, Chen Qing plans to take his sister for a while before going to Liangji Cloth Workshop.

Chen Bi is curious about all new things, and when encountering something delicious and interesting, Chen Qing doesn't feel sorry for money, so he directly buys one to try.

After receiving her wages from her aunt, Chen Qing also planned to be generous. Chen Bi cared about money, and only dared to ask for cheap food and gadgets. The more expensive things didn't wait for Chen Qing to pay, so she dragged her brother away.

The brother and sister walked around for half an hour before feeling tired. They planned to find a place where they could rest and have something to eat, and by the way, they settled down with their sister.

It is inconvenient to bring a girl with you to Liangji Cloth Shop. If you bring your girl into the store, you will be spotted just because of the siblings' looks. If the shopkeeper wants to discuss the details with the girl directly, then you have to be exposed?Lying to a boss is a big or small thing, but an imposter is a suspicion of deception.

So Chen Qing explained the situation to Chen Bi, and planned to find a place where he could rest and let his sister An Sheng wait for him to come back.

The noodle restaurant is a good place to go, but there are people coming and going there after all, it is not safe for Chen Bi to stay there alone, and even if he is familiar with dishonest people, the shopkeeper is not willing to offend the customers.

After wandering around for a long time, I finally found a tea shop.There are shops everywhere in the streets and alleys of this county, Chen Qing is not familiar with the county, and saw many restaurants and inns, but he only saw this one after searching for a long time. He felt that the shop was not too big and looked clean, so Chen Qing decided to choose This is it.

"Brother, it costs money to enter the store!" Chen Bi stopped in his tracks, refusing to let his brother enter.It's not worth spending money to rest your feet. It's okay to let her stand on the street for an hour. Why waste this money?

"What do you know? We have a lot of experience in the world, so it's embarrassing to say that we haven't even been in a tea shop when we get it. If you have a chance to drink tea here in the future, you haven't drunk it and don't know the rules. Don't let Does your in-laws see your jokes?" Chen Qing made up a random excuse to fool the girl.

The person Chen Bi knew best was his elder brother, but thinking about it in a blink of an eye, drinking tea should not cost much, and it was cheaper than going to dinner, so he stopped playing with his elder brother, and the two went into the teahouse with their heads held high.

As soon as the clerk saw the two siblings, he wanted to rush out. The girl was fine, she was wearing a cotton floral skirt, and a jacket was neat.But this kid can't do it anymore, not to mention the patches on his body, and he also carried a big basket on his back. They are all places where literati and elegant guests often come. If these two countrymen go in and dirty the eyes of the young master, then he will be fine. I was scolded to death by the shopkeeper!

"You can't enter, this is not the place you two came from, hurry up~" The man directly stopped Chen Qing and pushed him back.

"Why not let in?" Chen Qing knew what was going on as soon as he saw the guy's posture, and his face sank immediately.It would be fine if he was alone, he would just leave if he was not allowed to enter, but today he brought his sister to the big shop for the first time to drink tea and have a long life, what if he was thrown out and caused psychological trauma to the girl?What if the girl has low self-esteem and dare not enter a shop with a good appearance? What if she grows crooked in the future?

Is it easy for him to spend all these years cultivating a girl who is confident, self-respecting and self-loving?How could a little guy ruin a girl's self-esteem?

The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid that the girl would never recover, and Chen Qing, who became an ordinary village woman who was submissive all day long, became anxious.Pushing away the hand in front of him, he said loudly, "What's the matter? Your business is open and you don't sell tea, so what are you doing under the guise? Do you want me to pick it for you?"

The man heard that this is a powerful idea, regardless of meals and catering, when opening the door for business, the most taboo is to drive away customers. If you can’t afford it, it’s justifiable. Quan picked up the cover and sued to the Yamen.

"What are you talking about? It's not that the store has high consumption. I'm afraid you don't have money to pay the bill~" The clerk hurriedly explained in a low voice, but he said every word in plain language, not euphemistic at all.

"How do you know I don't have money to pay the bill?" Chen Qing asked coldly.

"Brother, let's forget it, it's just tea, let's stop drinking." Chen Bi lightly tugged on her brother's sleeve, it was the first time she encountered such a battle, and she was inevitably a little scared.Such a big store, with a high-end environment, is not a place where country people should come. She doesn't want her brother to get into trouble.

"How can we do that? We don't need to drink, but we must explain the truth clearly. Who stipulates that if you don't dress well, you can't drink tea in teahouses?" Chen Qing asked loudly.

Chen Qing's voice was not high, but unusually cold, such a question also attracted several curious gazes, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stood up to resolve the matter.

"Hey, what's the matter? Who offended you? Don't argue with the guy, please." The shopkeeper glared at the guy, and signaled for them to walk away if they couldn't pay the money. Yet?

The clerk understood, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize, while stretching his arms as a gesture of welcoming guests.

Chen Qing and the two of them followed the assistants to choose an unobtrusive desk table in the corner. This place was well chosen, and Chen Qing was planning to find a secluded place to house his sister.

"Do you think you need some tea?" Xiaoer asked politely.

"What kind of tea do you have?" Chen Qing also felt a little uneasy, and she carried more than 3 taels of silver in her arms, which was earned from embroidery work. She didn't know if it would be enough to pay for the tea in a while, so she gave Chen Bi a reassuring look, and continued Asked with an air.

"We have the best Biluochun, Longjing tea, Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu, Junshan Yinzhen, Xinyang Maojian, Pingshui Zhucha, Yandang Maofeng, Huading Yunwu, Jingting Lvxue, Enshi Yulu, Mogan Huangya There are also Pingyang Huangtang from that year, as well as Wuyi rock tea, Tieguanyin, Fenghuang Dancong, top-grade green tea, Pu'er tea, tight tea, flat tea, square tea, round tea, Qihong, Dianhong, Yinghong, you What kind of tea do you want?" The clerk announced the names of a bunch of teas in succession, and the shopkeeper also coughed lightly with the corner of his mouth pulled.

"Shopkeeper, I don't think you're a good buddy. You just know how to sign up. Shouldn't the buddy be considerate of the guests? Introduce in detail? He signed up like this, how do I know which kind of tea is better to drink? I'm afraid I can't see my brother and sister. It's the first time you come to drink tea, so you want to deceive us." Chen Qing said a lot without blinking, but didn't order anything.

"What you are teaching is, do you want some mellow green tea, black tea, or yellow tea?" The shopkeeper waved his hand back to the buddy, but he thought this country boy was a bit interesting.

"What are the prices of Longjing, Biluochun, Tieguanyin, and Pu'er?" To be honest, Chen Qing had never heard of the long list of tea names reported by the staff, and he only drank beverages and not tea in his previous life.But the names of the teas that I asked casually had never been drunk before. After being reminded by the buddy, I feel that they are relatively familiar and good teas.

"You are a connoisseur, it seems that you are blind, and I hope you will forgive me." The shopkeeper immediately bowed and apologized to the Chen Qing brothers and sisters.

"Don't, I don't dare to treat you as such a big gift, but my brother and sister don't know the price of tea in this county, so please just ask the shopkeeper to choose a pot of cheap one and send it up." Chen Qing lifted the shopkeeper and took out three cups from his arms. Two pieces of silver, and asked the shopkeeper, "Is it enough to pay for the tea?"

If it's not enough, you have to leave, Chen Qing silently looked at the shopkeeper and didn't speak.

The shopkeeper was not sure whether Chen Qing knew tea or not, but according to the rules of the shop, anyone who could drink tea was a customer, so he quickly picked up the one tael of silver on the table and said, "It doesn't need that much, one tael That's enough, I'll bring you a pot of good tea right away"

"Please trouble the shopkeeper to set up a screen, my girl doesn't like to show her face in public." Chen Qing saw a row of screens installed on the table by the window, and also asked the shopkeeper to put a screen around the girl, so as not to catch the girl's attention when she left by herself.

"Come on, let the waiter surround you now." The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered to make a pot of good tea, and then ordered someone to cover the screen for the female relatives.

"Brother, one tael of silver for a pot of tea is too expensive!" Chen Bi whispered, biting her tongue.Just now, I was trying to put on a shelf, but when I saw a tael of silver go into the shopkeeper's pocket, my heart hurt like being pricked by a needle.

"It's called losing the battle without losing. Although it's a hard act, you have to remember that in special circumstances, you can't lose face anyway. Even if you break your teeth, you have to swallow it with blood. You can't let people look down on you. "Chen Qing also clenched his teeth, but fortunately it was only one tael of silver, if it was two taels, then his tears would probably all fall down.

After a while, the tea was served, and Chen Qing didn't know what kind of tea this pot was, so he didn't dare to ask further.

"Your good Biluochun, please take your time with the guest officer." The shopkeeper's attitude is quite respectful after the shopkeeper ordered. Although the attitude and tone before can be seen, it's just that there is a bit of contempt in the eyes. At this moment, it is so solemn, Chen Qing also looks a little uncomfortable big habit.

"Taste it quickly, remember the taste, next time you drink it, you will know what you are drinking, even if you can't taste the taste, you can say something, it's not as good as Biluochun." Chen Qing immediately became angry, and Chen Bi giggled straight smile.

Made fun of his sister, Chen Qing didn't dare to waste more than half a month's income, Chen Bi took out the pastries given by his aunt from his arms, and the two of them ate and drank tea, which was quite pleasant.After drinking two cups of tea, Chen Qing told Chen Bi not to run around, and left her a tael of silver for self-defense.

Before leaving, he also specially asked that if there is something urgent, remember to leave a message with the shopkeeper, or go to Liangji Cloth Shop to find him, and by the way, pointed out the direction of Liangji to Chen Bi, and then walked out of the teahouse step by step.
