Chapter 184
Han Chuang originally wanted to choose several types of tea and sell them back to Shangrao County to make a profit, but after meeting Xu Jin and others, he was not in a hurry to choose tea and started hanging out with everyone.
There are many varieties of tea here, most of which are unfermented green tea. Xu Jin has never heard of many tea names. This is no wonder, after all, after traveling through time and space for more than five hundred years, most of the tea has been annihilated.
In the long history, only a few famous teas have been passed down to later generations. For example, Dongting Biluochun, Yuqian Longjing, Lu'an tea, etc. are all famous teas that have lasted for thousands of years and are still famous today.
Everyone wandered around for a while. As the sun rose, the temperature that was still a bit cold in the morning began to heat up. All the girls put on sunshades, adding a bit of fairy spirit to the beautiful girls.
Fei Jixiang seemed to be afraid of the heat. He was already sweating a little and kept fanning himself with a small flower-painted fan.
"Hey, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so dark? It couldn't be that it was fried during frying."
At this time, everyone passed by a tea stall. Han Chuang saw a dark brown tea in a basket, grabbed a handful and smelled it, and couldn't help but complain.
The waiter guarding the tea stall immediately boasted: "Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense, this is the new tea produced by our Yangmeiling Tea Garden - Hekou Black Tea. Even though it is dark, the color of the tea soup is amber, with a radiating
It has a natural fruity taste, a mellow aroma and a sweet aftertaste. Even Mr. Fei Ge was full of praise after drinking it. There is no other brand like this."
Han Chuang curled his lips and said: "Brother, are you bragging too much? Are you bullying me for not studying enough? This kind of black tea of yours looks black and smells like fireworks. I won't even drink it if you give it to me. What's more,
Not to mention Mr. Fei Ge."
"Hey, don't believe it, Mr. Fei Ge actually drank our black tea. After drinking it, he praised it endlessly and even bought thirty kilograms of it in one go!"
Xu Jin and the Fei brothers couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Fei Xiaoyu said dissatisfiedly: "Boy, what are you talking about? When did my father praise your tea so much that he even bought thirty kilograms of it in one go? You don't even need to draft it when you are bragging, right?"
The waiter's face was slightly stiff and he said doubtfully: "Little girl, you can take medicine randomly, but dad can't take it randomly."
"How presumptuous!" The maid Guanqi shouted coldly and scolded: "Forget about using my master's name and dare to talk to my girl like this. Believe it or not, I will arrest you and go to the official now."
When the guy heard this, he shrank his neck and said sarcastically: "You... who are you?"
Han Chuang gloated and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, this is the daughter of Fei Ge's hometown. I guarantee it's fake!"
The waiter's face suddenly turned pale, and he said with a smile: "Yes... no, it's the boss... the boss ordered me to brag like this, it's not a trivial matter at all!"
The waiter was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was pale with fear and he looked at a loss. A large amount of cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. In the eyes of ordinary people, the county magistrate is a powerful official, let alone the elder of the cabinet, even though he has already become an official.
Fei Ru looked at the complaint and said a little unbearably: "Fifth sister, forget it, this is such a big deal, just tell him not to say that again in the future."
The waiter nodded quickly and said: "I will never dare to use Mr. Fei Ge's name again. Miss Fei, please spare me this time!"
At this time, the two people walked quickly from a distance. When the waiter saw the visitor, he was relieved and said: "Our boss is back. If you need anything, go to him."
The two people walking over at this time were none other than the tea garden owner Huang Desheng whom they met at the foot of Yangmeiling a few days ago, and the other one was Boss Huang's son-in-law Zhang Nan.
When Huang Desheng, Weng and his son-in-law saw Xu Jin and others, they hurried forward to greet them.
Fei Maoxian frowned and said: "Boss Huang, how could my father ever praise your black tea so much that he bought thirty kilograms of it in one go?"
When he was caught impersonating someone else's name, Xiao Huang Desheng was so thick-skinned that he couldn't help but blush, and he apologized profusely.
This kind of thing does not harm their reputation, so the Fei brothers naturally won't care too much about it. Since Huang Desheng expressed his modesty, they gave up.
Everyone was a little tired after shopping for so long. It happened that Huang Desheng's stall had two tables, which were obviously provided for tea drinkers to rest. So everyone sat down at the table to rest, and Huang Desheng enthusiastically served two pots.
Tea is available for everyone to drink.
The girls took off the power fences they wore on their heads one after another, revealing their beautiful faces. It was like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums blooming in an instant, which was so pleasing to the eye that even Huang Desheng, who was several decades old, was lost in thought.
Xu Jin smiled and asked: "Boss Huang, how are the sales of this new black tea?"
Huang Desheng smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, it's hard to explain in words. I'm not afraid to tell Mr. Xu directly. I haven't made a single business deal yet."
Huang Desheng was originally full of hope and wanted to make a lot of money in the Chongyang Tea Market with this unique new black tea. However, it backfired. Whether it was a tea vendor or an individual customer, they just took one look at the appearance of the black tea and walked away shaking their heads.
No matter how hyped up Huang Desheng is, no one wants to take a sip of this black tea.
Xu Jin was not surprised at all. After all, people in the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to drinking green tea. In addition, black tea has an unpleasant appearance, so it is surprising that it sells well.
In fact, Souchong black tea has not been accepted by the people of the Ming Dynasty for quite some time since its emergence. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that black tea was trafficked to Europe by the Francons, and the market began to become popular.
"Hey, sir, what do you think those people are doing?" Xie Xiaowan suddenly pointed to the distance and asked curiously.
This large open space under Jiu Shi Mountain is estimated to be nearly ten thousand square meters. The rest of the space is occupied by tea vendors' stalls. There is a pergola set up against the mountain wall. There are hundreds of square meters of space in front of the pergola. There are many people at the moment.
A few people were waiting in line in front of the open space.
Boss Huang introduced with a smile: "Mrs. Xu doesn't know something. There will be a wonderful tea battle later. Those who are participating in the tea battle are lining up to enter."
Xu Jin couldn't help but was a little surprised. Tea fighting, also called tea fighting, was extremely popular during the Song Dynasty and was an elegant sport favored by the wealthy and leisure scholar-bureaucrats. However, in the Ming Dynasty, after Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Tuancha, tea fighting became more popular.
It gradually declined.
Because many methods of fighting tea can only be played with Tuancha tea. For example, tea painting must be boiled tea soup with a lot of foam, so that you can use a tea spoon to create various patterns, which is very ornamental.
After Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned the creation of Tuancha, people in the Ming Dynasty switched to drinking loose tea. They used a simple brewing method, which was not as cumbersome as sencha. In addition, Gongfu tea had not been invented yet. Xu Jin was really curious about what people in the Ming Dynasty were like.
Why was there a tea fight, so he asked: "Boss Huang, what's the strategy for this tea fight?"
Fei Maoxian smiled and said: "Zi Qian, you should ask Third Sister for advice on this question. Third Sister is the most accomplished in tea ceremony in our family."
Fei Xiaoyu nodded in agreement: "Brother is right, if Third Sister participates in the Ming War, nothing will happen to anyone else."
Xu Jin couldn't help but look at Fei Ruyi in surprise. The latter's pretty face was dizzy, and she said slightly angrily: "Fifth sister, don't slap your hat on me. How can I be so powerful?"
Fei Jixiang said with a smile: "Fifth sister didn't put a high hat on the third sister. That's because the third sister is really powerful. Apart from other things, few people can match her ability to distinguish water. As long as the world-famous third sister of water can do it,
Distinguish it.”
Boss Huang's eyes lit up, and he looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with suspicion. This ability to distinguish water is not something ordinary people can have. As far as he knows, tea ceremony masters with this ability can do it with all ten fingers.
