853 Fair Teahouse

 The rumors that spread wildly in Chang'an were quickly put to rest under the heavy pressure of the Sima of the Five Cities and the Qianniu Guards.

In addition to the execution of more than a dozen people at Caishikou, the closure of several temples, and the ban on a few officials from the imperial court.

This incident does not seem to have any impact on the people of Chang'an.

People who can live in Chang'an are undoubtedly smart, and their ability to protect themselves wisely is better than anyone else!

Especially when they saw the miserable looks of those who were arrested for talking too much, they immediately shut their mouths in a wise manner.

Hey, I won’t say it if I don’t want to, and I won’t choke myself to death, so it’s not a big deal!

The sun rises as usual every day, and people are busy as usual.

This little thing soon became like a breeze blowing yesterday. It passed away without leaving any trace.

Perhaps, only a few families who suffered huge losses in this turmoil would hide in secret and curse Qian Niuwei, curse Li Yuan, and curse the unknown guy who stirred up the muddy water.

Oh, I almost forgot.

In addition to those guys who love to pry into secrets, there are also some people who have suffered great misfortune in this attack, namely the well-informed people who are hiding in Chang'an City.

These people were the first batch to be arrested, but until the incident was completely over, these people never appeared again, as if they had completely disappeared from this world, causing the idle teahouse in Chang'an City to close down.

Several.

Things in this world are always one where some people are happy and others are sad.

In Chang'an, many teahouses are living worse days because of the lack of loyal customers.

Next to Xiao's store in Dongshi, a teahouse called "Fairness" has reopened.

The owner of the teahouse is a dull and honest man, but the proprietress is rare and charming.

I don’t know what tricks the shop owner used to marry such a wife who would make everyone drool after looking at her.

After the teahouse opened, whenever the beautiful proprietress stood in front of the shop waving a handkerchief, it always attracted many customers.

No matter whether these talents are drinking tea or washing pots of water, as long as they can joke with a beautiful woman, they are worth thousands of dollars.

After a few days of this, the reputation of the teahouse spread.

The proprietress no longer goes to the door to solicit customers, which makes those who want to see beauties and save money not to drink tea somewhat annoyed.

In fact, I have to say that, except for the seductive proprietress, the tea soup brewed in this teahouse still tastes very authentic.

And the price is exactly what it says on the sign, fair!

Here, boiled tea with salt, star anise, onion and ginger only costs five cents a pot.

Although five cents is still a bit expensive for the honest villagers, this price is almost the price of cabbage in Dongshi, where land is at a premium!

There are also fried tea shops handed down from the Xiao family, which are only a little more expensive than boiled tea.

In addition, there is also a new type of milk tea with added cow and goat milk. It may be a bit unfamiliar to drink at first, but as you taste it carefully, it has an exotic flavor.

Because of this unique business, first of all, the barbarian who opened a shop in Dongshi came here every day to drink a pot of milk tea and flirt with the beautiful proprietress.

Later, even those with mixed surnames and department doctors with Hu ancestry would come to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse to drink a pot of milk tea when they had nothing to do.

Half a month after the prosperous teahouse opened.

On a calm evening, the owner of the teahouse saw off the last guest and was about to close the door, when an uninvited guest quietly walked in from the door.

"Hey, I haven't come here to take a look. Your decoration is too bad and your pricing is too low! How can you attract big people like this? How many pieces of information can you get in a year just by pointing at those little guys?

?”

"And here, the tables, chairs and benches are not wiped. Is it so difficult to hire a waiter? Even if you save money, you still have to clean it!"

Listening to this series of new terms, it goes without saying that the person standing in the teahouse gesticulating and making comments was none other than Xiao Han!

And in front of him, this high-end teahouse that has been praised countless times by tea drinkers came to his mouth.

Just like when something comes to a pawnshop owner, it is devalued as worthless!

The man at the door still had that lazy look. He didn't care about the annoying Xiao Han at all, and just installed the last door panel. The whole teahouse immediately became dark, with only the flames of a few oil lamps on the counter remaining.

Stop beating.

"Renovation? My Lord Xiao, you are not a householder and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You think we have endless money like you? We are a small business, how can we get so much money for decoration?"

The beautiful proprietress was lying on the counter, crackling a brand new abacus, and sparks were about to flash in her eyes.

She actually wanted her man to kidnap the bastard in front of her in exchange for a ransom. In that case, they wouldn't have to open this shabby teahouse. The ransom he got back would probably be enough for her to spend ten lifetimes!

Xiao Han, who took a sip of tea, still didn't know that he had turned into a long-legged gold ingot in other people's eyes.

Wiping the water from the corner of his mouth, he followed the stairs to the second floor, looked around, and skillfully found a secret door disguised as a wall in the corner.

Without asking the couple, Xiao Han directly stretched out his hand and pushed.

The secret door didn't move at all. Based on the force coming from his hand, he guessed that there should be a wooden latch blocking the back.

However, this is not a problem for Xiao Han, who has been playing around with him since he was a child by picking the lock and removing it.

He stretched out his hand and broke open the decorative wooden strips on the door. It didn't take him a few moments to find a piece of mechanism that could be rotated.

Xiao Han grabbed it and turned it hard, and the secret door opened in response.

"I said, this thing of yours is not good! The copper pipes must be flexible and cannot be bent too much. This will affect the transmission of sound waves. Also, you should hang some soundproofing cloth around this small room, otherwise there will be a lot of noise outside.

, what can you hear?”

He leaned in and took a quick look, and Xiao Han's broken gong started ringing again.

Not only did the landlady cover her ears angrily, but even the seemingly good-tempered man was speechless.

"How do you know there is a mechanism here?" The man came to the bottom of the stairs and asked Xiao Han above.

Xiao Han closed the secret door and replied disdainfully: "Nonsense, your copper pipes were all custom-made at my house. I only need to calculate the length to know where they can go!

The man nodded. He didn't pay attention to these details, but even if he paid attention, it would be useless. Apart from being the prisoner of Quan Chang'an, only Xiaojiazhuangzi could make the copper pipes he wanted.

Xiao Han looked at the secret door and didn't rush down. Instead, he got up and went to the private room next door.

"Tsk tsk, this decoration is pretty good. Although it's not as good as that 'Baihua Pavilion', it's still thoughtful..."

Hiss, that’s not right! Who designed this for 250? How come the copper pipes are directly connected to the weapon decoration on the wall? Who would want to try weapons if they don’t have enough hands, won’t you be exposed now?”
