light wine brewed tea

An hour later.

The crowd in the market gradually dispersed.

Prophet Tao lay on the edge of the empty tea pot and watched the people of different races share the clean milk tea soup, grinning from ear to ear.

Pu Ling and Hu Yunshan are busy packing up the tea-ordering utensils. These utensils are indispensable in the tea-ordering bureau, but they are not very useful today. The aliens are rough and unrestrained, and they are not used to the exquisite objects of the Central Plains people. The strong and fierce man wished he could swallow the small teacups in his mouth, which scared Prophet Tao to buy several large bowls on the street for those who came to taste tea and inquire.

They have reaped quite a lot this time, and this time the harvest does not only refer to how much money they have earned. On the contrary, during the distribution of tea soup, many people of other races wanted to buy the tea in the hands of Prophet Tao at a high price. Many tea products in the Central Plains are not expensive, but are the most common items in ordinary people's homes.

Mr. Xu was a little puzzled by what he said. They were here to do business, so why did they refuse other people's orders when they came to the door to lower the price?

Prophet Tao is taking the pen and paper he just bought to record the tastes and hobbies of most of the foreigners.

Tea is born in various forms, and it is difficult to adjust to everyone's taste.Some people like sweetness, some like salt, some like dark brown tea soup made from rough old leaves, while others like a lighter color, and don't want the tea flavor to cover up the original sweetness of fresh milk.

Master Xu waited for him to finish writing, and came over to ask, why not sell tea in the street?

Young Master Tao put down his pen, and said shrewdly: "Fanbang is far away, how can we do retail business? It's better to sell tea from one household to another, so it's better to do a single large one directly."

Master Xu said: "What is a big order?"

Prophet Tao cautiously looked around and saw that there were no other people, so he leaned into Mr. Xu's ear and said, "Of course I'm going to find the third prince Xiao. I've already found out. The third prince has just quelled the civil strife in his family and is consolidating The status needs to win the hearts of the people. After the tea fight is over, let’s invite him out, let him see how his people are keen on milk tea, and then give him a chance to win the hearts of the people, let him buy Siding tea in person, and so on Come on, wouldn’t many retail investors become a long-term big account? We can also have less trouble, after he orders tea, how to deal with it is up to him to deal with it, we only need to provide tea.”

Master Xu, a martial artist, how can he understand the business experience of turning parts into wholes?He only knew that if Xiao Heng ordered tea from the Purchasing Department, the tea he ordered might not necessarily be Tao's tea, so he asked, "If that's the case, what should you do?"

Prophet Tao said: "Whoever orders the tea is the same. As long as we can make our Central Plains teas bloom everywhere in the foreigners, why should we care who buys and sells them? Anyway, the names are the same in the mouths of the foreigners. They can't tell the difference." Which one belongs to the Tao family and which one belongs to the Fang family. I bought "Floating Clouds Out of the Mountain" and "Rui Cao Diao Lian" at Jieshi and dared to break them into pieces and throw them into the milk soup. Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed!"

Mr. Xu didn't expect that he, a businessman, would have such a pattern, so he couldn't help cupping his hands, "It's because Mr. Xu's vision is narrow. I didn't expect Mr. Tao to have such a mind."

Prophet Tao hurriedly handed over his hands to pay back, "hehe" smiled: "It's not that I have a broad mind. In fact, I didn't think of this before I came here. The main thing is that Fang Zesheng talked to me and asked me to think about it more. , after all, the business of the Tianjia is bigger and better, and I wait for the tea supplyers, how can I suffer from it?"

After Master Xu got acquainted with Prophet Tao and the others, they could always hear the name Fang Zesheng in their mouths. They knew that he was suffering from leg problems and was very skilled at ordering tea. The country is far away, and it will take three months at the earliest to see it. If it encounters extremely severe cold weather like when we came here, it may take longer.

Mr. Xu kept this matter in his heart, and thought that he would have to chat with Mr. Fang Da when he returned to Chuzhou, but he didn't expect that when he returned to Xiao Heng's mansion with Tao Zhizhi and others, he saw several people living there. There is a new face in the yard.

"Master!?"

As soon as Hu Yunshan stepped into the gate of the courtyard, she saw Fu Jingxuan helping Fang Zesheng to walk into the house, and hurried over and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Fang Zesheng called Young Master Hu and said, "You haven't returned for a long time, so come and have a look."

Prophet Tao also hurried over, and seeing him stand upright, he asked in surprise, "Can you stand up now?"

Fang Zesheng nodded lightly, didn't say much, and saw Mr. Xu among the few people, and bowed his hands in greeting.

Master Xu hurriedly returned the gift, raised his hand to invite him into the flower hall, and started chatting.

Fang Zesheng really came here this time to meet Fu Jingxuan. He had received a letter from Mr. Zhang before, and he knew the exact time when Fu Jingxuan and others turned back to his hometown. He set off early to meet them on the road, but he didn't think about this He came very smoothly, actually entered the capital of Linhuang Mansion before they turned back to their hometown, not only met them, but also stayed here for a few days to watch Ming Dou's affairs.

In the flower hall.

Several people sat cross-legged at the low table and talked about it.

Pu Ling said: "Xiao Heng gave the news that Lie Gu Mingdou will be in three days' time. I was a little nervous at first, but now that the boss is coming, it seems that he has found the backbone in an instant, so I am not so afraid."

Hu Yunshan nodded, "It happened that Pu Ling and I encountered a problem, and we couldn't figure it out. I will ask Master to help me find out which step went wrong later."

Seeing that the two of them were so cautious, Prophet Tao also became nervous, "I heard that Xiao Heng has been learning tea in my court for many years, and he is very good at making tea. What if we lose this time?"

Pu Ling was afraid at first, but when he heard what he said, his originally relaxed mood became tense again, "Besides Xiao Heng, there seemed to be two other teasers from other races. , and said that my Central Plains tea affairs are mediocre and not worth mentioning."

Prophet Tao frowned: "Is this really the case?"

Pu Ling nodded weakly, and said in a low voice: "Those two foreign Ming scholars are tall and strong, two heads taller than me, and their eyes are fierce and evil. I'm afraid that something will happen if Ming fights with them."

Pu Ling's worries are not in vain. Ordering tea requires meditation. You need to calculate the time and accuracy of lifting the pot. Chu Fanbang also wondered if they would change some rules.

Although Hu Yunshan was stronger than Pu Ling, he was also a little worried, and said in a muffled voice: "Xiao Heng's skills are really good. That day when I ordered tea by myself, he came over to take a look, not only pointing out my mistake, but also telling me the correct one. technique..."

Prophet Tao was shocked, "Why don't you two discuss this kind of thing on the table?!"

Hu Yunshan felt ashamed at first, but when he heard that Prophet Tao deliberately blamed him, he felt even more dissatisfied, and couldn't help but shouted: "Who should the two of us talk to! Mrs. Xu is out of her mind all day long, and Master Xu is a martial artist. Homesickness is homesickness, even if you ask you, you don’t understand, so why bother talking!”

"you!"

Prophet Tao is also a young man with a temper. He slapped the table and stood up. He wanted to answer him a few words, but before he could speak, he saw three people walking in from the door. The leader was Xiao Heng, and there were two tall and strong men. In Pu Ling's mouth, there is a foreign tea scholar.

The two obviously heard their quarrel just now, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Xiao Heng learned that Fang Zesheng came to visit, so he came here to have a look. He had heard of Fang Zesheng for a long time when he was a tea learner in the Central Plains when he was young, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss with him. Now he was a little disappointed when he saw him, so he glanced at the low table Sitting across from him, he said with a smile, "Master Fang has come from a long way, so we are welcome from afar."

Fang Zesheng raised his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Third Prince Xiao."

Xiao Heng excused him from courtesy, looked at Fu Jingxuan beside him, and the angry Tao Zhizhi and Hu Yunshan, and couldn't help sighing.

Prophet Tao felt even more annoyed when he saw him like this. His eyes seemed like they were a bunch of useless idiots. He had been waiting for so long in vain. It would be better to let them go back early in the morning, so as to save time wasting preparing for this meaningless event. Tea Bureau!

Young Master Tao wanted to mock him regardless, but looked down at the people around him, stroked his nose, and sat back on the futon embarrassingly.It's no wonder that Xiao Heng looks down on people, but this room full of teasers is not very decent, Fang Zesheng's face is full of weather, Fu Jingxuan's face is full of stubble, and Hu Yunshan's face is red and his neck is thick. Pu Ling clenched his hands tightly and accidentally exposed a few red marks, either frostbite or scald, but he kept holding back and didn't say that he didn't look like he could still compete in the competition.

Tao Xianzhi was finished, and was about to discuss countermeasures with Fu Jingxuan and others after Xiao Heng left.

Xiao Heng also saw Pu Ling's hand injury, and said thoughtfully: "I see that this Mr. Pu will not be able to carry the pot. It just so happens that Young Master Fang is here today, why don't you play for him during the competition?"

Fang Zesheng was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Fu Jingxuan.

Fu Jingxuan was also looking at him, frowning deeply, as if he was a little worried.

Xiao Heng was already very concerned about the Central Plains tea affairs, so he naturally knew that something had happened to the Fang family in the past few years and it was going into decline. Today, when he saw Fang Zesheng in the dust, with thin legs and weak legs, he felt that this person was useless. There was nothing to be afraid of, and Fu Jingxuan kept shaking his head at him, signaling him to reject quickly, which made Xiao Heng feel that he was only a useless shell, and hurriedly said: "If Young Master Fang has no objection, this matter will be settled like this , three days later we will have a showdown at Zhaorong Terrace."

After speaking, he hurried out of the room with two tall and strong foreigners, afraid that Fang Zesheng would react and refuse.

Prophet Tao blinked his eyes after he left, took out a condensed bone fan from his thick cloak, flickered twice, and muttered in disbelief: "There is such a good thing?"
