The tone in Shen Erdan's words seemed to be that he was saving all the good things for Shen Chuliu.
In fact, Shen Chuliu and Shen Erdan naturally knew each other tacitly about this matter. All the so-called good things he did were due to his own inability to do so, so they tried to drag him down because they had no other choice.
Shen Chuliu chuckled lightly, and the curve of his mouth rose again, "Second uncle is really flattering, but Liu'er can't help with anything. If second uncle wants to stay for a casual meal, Liu'er doesn't have any objections." ." Shen Chuliu said and picked up the tea leaves on the counter with his hands. "If the second uncle asked Liu'er to help, I'm afraid Liu'er doesn't have that much time. There are still many things to take care of at home."
Just when Shen Chuliu said this, Hui Niang came out. She saw that Shen Chuliu had not been arrested, and Hui Niang had heard a little bit from behind just now. So she spoke out to help Shen Chuliu. Busy on the sixth day of the lunar month: "Two official brothers, our six children are still at home helping to buy and sell tea, and we really don't have that much time."
"This Spring Tea Pavilion is so far away? Is there anyone who might come to buy it?" Oka looked at Huiniang suspiciously, as if he wanted to see if she was lying.
"Brother, there will definitely be people who come to a place like this for cheap." As he spoke, Xiaogang grabbed a handful of tea leaves, sniffed them, and asked, "Mrs. Boss, how much does this tea cost? Weigh a bag for me."
After hearing what Xiaogang said, Ogang looked at Xiaogang suspiciously and said, "What are you selling tea for?" What's more, it was obvious at a glance that these teas were not good tea.
"Didn't the master ask me to buy some broken tea leaves outside..." Xiao Gang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I saw that there happened to be some here, so I just bought some."
When it comes to drinking tea, Qi Mancang is a good person. The tea that Qi Mancang usually drinks is completely different from the tea that is used for entertaining in the Yamen. The tea that Qi Mancang drinks is always the new tea leaves picked that year, and of course it is used. It is a top-quality purple clay pot, and even the water is boiled with rootless water.
Just by smelling it for a while, people can't help but bring out the greed in their stomachs. No one has ever been able to make tea so fragrant. So even the dregs left after Qi Mancang drank the tea will be intoxicated. People dipped it repeatedly to taste it.
As for the tea in the yamen, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. Qi Mancang always prepares this kind of tea for disciples, businessmen or gentlemen from the town.
The reason is simple. In Qi Mancang's view, good tea must be given to people who know tea. Even if they were given to the wealthy locals to drink high-quality tea, they just thought it tasted good. It was a complete waste of treasures. .
Therefore, Qi Mancang would ask people in the yamen to buy the following reasonably good tea to entertain guests. But Qi Mancang would never drink it.
"Then just buy whatever you want." Ooka curled his lips helplessly, "Miss Liu'er, Shen Banxian is not here to invite you today. Our master has said that you must go today! There is no room for negotiation."
Shen Chuliu frowned. It seemed that the county magistrate was really tough. There was no room for negotiation, so that meant he could only go directly?
"Okay, I'll just go with you." A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate loss. If he doesn't go, the county magistrate will have a reason to make things difficult for him.
