Great Song

Since entering Beijing, Wang Ju felt like a fish in water.As the head of Han's Tea Shop in Beijing, it is inevitable to entertain merchants who buy tea and officials who are acquainted with him.After eating and drinking enough, listening to a little song and drinking flower wine is even more due.Besides, as Han Lin's brother-in-law, he and the prime minister of the dynasty, Han Xianggong, were considered relatives by marriage.Even if he didn't meet Han Xianggong in person, it would be enviable and flattering to say it out, which would make him very happy!

Now that autumn tea is on the market, Wang Ju has already negotiated with several regular customers that as long as the new tea from the tea garden is transported to the capital, they can be delivered directly.It's just a few newly recruited tea merchants, but they have been reluctant to make up their minds for a long time. Could it be that they dislike him for not entertaining him well?

Wang Ju stroked his chin, feeling guilty in his heart.He has also visited many restaurants in the capital these days, but he has never entered Fan Lou, the first of the "72 main stores".If we can set up a few tables in Fanlou and invite the Huakui lady to accompany the table, maybe these people will know that he, a tea merchant from Xiangzhou, also has a lot of money, right?The more he thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became. Wang Ju immediately forgot his brother-in-law's advice, and there was no idea of ​​"not to be extravagant".

Unexpectedly, before he took any action, Guanshi Liu from the tea shop ran in quickly: "My lord, something is wrong! A new tea has come out in Beijing, and it has attracted all the merchants away!"

What?Wang Ju was taken aback: "Where did the new tea come from? There are only a few Jiancha stores in total. Who can make such a big noise?"

How many tea gardens are there in Jianzhou? Even if someone has a lot of money, it is impossible to find a new garden easily?

Guanshi Liu said with a mournful face, "It's not Jiancha, it's a new tea from Yuezhou! The head of the upper hall, Lin Niao, brought it to treat guests, and it suddenly became hot."

Yue, Yuecha?Wang Ju felt dizzy in his eyes. When will the tea on Liangzhe Road surpass Jiancha?What's the reason that Yuecha can attract people's attention? !

"Quick! Send someone to check it out!" Wang Ju jumped up angrily and shouted angrily.

For such a big event, the ins and outs were quickly figured out.It turned out that Lin Xingshou recently fell in love with a type of Yue tea, which is green in color and mellow in taste, extremely elegant.Although Jian tea is the best in the world, Jian tea is tribute tea after all, and very few of them flow into the people, and those who do not pay tribute are often only the middle and low grades of Jian tea. In addition, autumn tea does not have the aroma of spring tea. It is only comparable to a bucket, unbearable to drink.Everyone in Lin doesn't like to fight tea, but only loves "true fragrance". If we only talk about the taste of tea, this Yue tea can be called top grade.

Lin Xingshou laughed and said: "Autumn is like a phoenix tail, and autumn is like a rooster's head. The thing of attaching a tail is so vulgar."

These words are somewhat unique.Jiancha in autumn is not for drinking, but for tea fighting and posturing. Isn't it just arty and vulgar?Among the guests that Lin Xingshou entertained, most of them were scholars and merchants, many of whom were not qualified to drink tribute tea and spring tea, and could only choose low-grade Jiancha to satisfy their dry addiction.Now it is called "vulgar" by laughing, who is willing to drink it?

In addition, Fan Wenzhenggong also had a poem in those days: "The green dust flies beside the gold, and the green waves rise from the jade Ou." It can be seen that the green color of this tea soup is also a kind of elegance.With Lin Xingshou's words, and several well-known shopkeepers and oirans' promotion, Yue tea has gradually been regarded as a high-quality product, and the autumn tea of ​​Han's firm is naturally popular among people.

"A mere lady, how can she control the tea market?!" Wang Ju was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, he just got an errand, if he messed up, how could his brother-in-law spare him!

Liu Guanshi's face was full of bitterness: "Of course there is more than one woman. This matter involves several tea shops. It seems that Yue Tea is united and wants to grab a piece of meat from the tea market."

It is true that Jiancha dominates the world, but the top tea products have already had big customers.Most of those who sell ordinary Jiancha and autumn tea entered the tea market a few years ago when the ban was lifted.How many tea gardens can there be on the entire Fujian Road?Those who can't get tea, but are rich and powerful, why don't they think of other ways?

This promotion of Yuecha is really a stroke of genius.Not only did he unite with several tea shops, but he also got a foot in the tea guild.The purpose is to suppress them who are picking up cheap retail merchants.If it was well prepared, it would be fine to open up a new path, but Han's Tea Shop just changed hands this year, and it's too late to stick to the old rules, so how could it change course?

It's good now, a season of autumn tea is in my hand.If the season has passed, and the spring tea will be on the market next year, the autumn tea will probably be cheaper than mud.Not everyone can afford such a huge loss.

Wang Ju opened and closed his mouth, and after a while he managed to say, "Quick, send the news back."

This matter is no longer in his hands.I still need to let my brother-in-law know...

From Tokyo to Anyang, it takes only two or three days to travel quickly.This important matter concerning the survival of the tea shop was quickly sent to Han Lin's desk.

"Yuecha...Yuecha...it must be Xi Han's trick!" Han Lin pointed at Xiao Nian and cursed when he heard the news, "Didn't you say that Han Miao has been bored at home these days and seems to have given up dealing with it?" Is tea okay? How can you not notice such a big thing?!"

Cold sweat dripped down Xiao Nian's back, and he said shiveringly, "This, this... I'm afraid this has already been arranged, just waiting to entrap us..."

Contacting several major tea merchants to jointly promote Yuecha is not something that can be done in ten days and half a month.What side talk, the black market, are all blindfolds, the real killer move actually fell in Tokyo!If the tea shop loses its sales in Beijing, even Xiangzhou's share will be greatly reduced. Which spender would be willing to be ridiculed for being vulgar?

This time, Sanfang, who took over the tea shop, was put to the extreme!Even he, the manager of the tea shop, is not easy to explain!

"Who cares if it's early or late!" Han Lin's eyes were bloodshot, "What should I do with Qiucha? Could it be that he rotted into Curry?!"

The sweat on Xiao Nian's forehead grew even more, and he murmured not knowing how to answer.After several months of careful planning, could it be possible that he could come up with a countermeasure in just a moment?

"Trash!" Han Lin got angry and picked up the Golden Rabbit lamp on the table and threw it at it.Xiao Nian didn't think that this person was so vicious, his head was smashed, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

How could Han Lin care about a mere steward, seeing his beloved teacup shattered into several pieces, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.After trembling for a long while, he hissed to the servant beside him: "Go, please ask Han Da from Xihan to go over to the house!"

The word "please" is extremely heavy.The little servant ran out quickly, but Han Lin waited and waited, but he couldn't wait for anyone. It wasn't until the sun went down that the servant who went to invite someone ran back in despair and reported: "Ah Lang, there is no one in Xihan." He said he wanted to meet guests, but he didn’t have time to come.”

"A visitor?" Han Lin asked immediately, excitedly, "Who are you meeting?"

Could it be that Han Miao wanted to repeat the old trick in Xiangzhou and completely squeeze Qiu Jian of Han's Tea Shop to death?

"I heard that the magistrate of Wei County was invited..." the boy said in a low voice.

Oops!

"Prepare a generous gift quickly! Send a greeting card to Liang Zhizhou and Sun Tuiguan, and say that I want to visit!" Han Lin sternly said.

After all, he is also a descendant of the Dazong of the Han family, and it is easier to visit these officials than Han Miao.In addition to officials, local wealthy families and wealthy businessmen should not be taken lightly.This time, he must put everything first, and never let that dog thief steal his business again!

■

At this moment, the main hall in Xihan is full of laughter.The person in the main seat was the magistrate of Wei County, accompanied by the county's chief secretary, county lieutenant, etc., and it was very lively.

"Thanks to the Ming government and several officials, that thief was able to subdue the law and eliminate another evil for the world." Han Miao raised his glass and respected the people in front of him with a smile.

Daoren Yang, who cheated in the Han family before, has already been sentenced.Stick punishment, face tattoo, flow three thousand miles, the sentence is not light.On the one hand, Daoren Yang is indeed too greedy, cheating money more than once, on the other hand, Xi Han's face is also indispensable.

Nian Xu, the magistrate of Wei, smiled: "This kind of thieves will naturally be punished severely. Why should my nephew be polite?"

Wei Zhixian has been an official in Anyang for two years, and has some friendship with Han Miao's father, Han Yu, so even if he heard that Xihan and the Han family were not at ease, he still gave him three points of favor.He can still accept this glass of wine with peace of mind.

Han Miao smiled a little more cordially: "I know that the Ming government is doing things impartially, but it is about my grandmother, so I should thank my grandmother in person, so that I can feel at ease. This time, I also prepared a few new dishes for the invitation. Please try the chopsticks, gentlemen."

"Then you have to taste it!" Wei Zhixian's eyes lit up.He is honest and upright, he has no vices, he just likes his appetite.When Han Yu from Xihan was there, he was often invited to dinner.For the county magistrate with a monthly salary of only fifteen guan, this is a rare opportunity to try something new.

Seeing the distinguished guests, Han Miao ordered people to serve the dishes without any delay.Nowadays, the world is becoming more and more extravagant, and banquets must be full of utensils and delicacies.However, there is no such bad habit in Western Korea. The dishes pay attention to the words "fine" and "clever".After toasting the first two cups, three dishes and two bowls were served, all of which were appetizers, and the middle one was a plate of fried shrimp.The river prawns have been peeled off their shells, and the pink and soft sticky ones are stacked together, with a little bit of emerald green on top, which is extremely light.

Wei Zhixian was surprised: "Is this fried with tea?"

Although the world eats cake tea more, loose tea is not uncommon.It's just used for cooking, but it's a bit unexpected.

"Exactly." Han Miao said with a smile, "This time I chose Yuecha, which has a strong flavor and is used to stir-fry shrimp. It has a special flavor."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Wei Zhixian felt the novelty and tasted it with his chopsticks.The shrimp bullet is slippery, and it seems to be able to burst out juice when bitten down.The quiet tea fragrance is mixed in it, which is not much inferior to spring tea. After chewing it a few times, the fresh and sweet taste enters the throat, leaving only the sweetness.

It tastes good, looks beautiful, and has a natural wild taste. I don't know how ingenious it is to get this flavor!

He was so excited to eat that the master on the side could still be full of praises, but he was a bit weaker towards county captains who love big fish and big meat.Fortunately, the main dishes of the third and fourth dishes are fresh lamb and squab.The lamb chops are roasted brown, covered with honey sauce, and there is a faint aroma of spices, neither pepper nor prickly ash. It tastes a little strange, but it is fragrant enough to make your index finger move.The pigeon nestled in the cup, the soup was like milk, the cartilage was gone, and it could still suck the marrow. After two bites, it immediately felt insufficient.

Appetite hung to the extreme, and the fifth big dish was placed in front of everyone.

"Carp?" Wei Zhixian was surprised when he saw the fish on the plate, "It was fried?"

Yellow River carp is a famous dish, and it is mostly eaten in Beijing or made into fish soup.These carps weighing more than three catties are the most delicious. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to fry them?

Han Miao said with a smile, "Mingfu might as well taste it first, and then make a judgment?"
