Lu Yuan curled her lips and followed Xiao Linglong for a long time. She had already felt the anger hidden in Her Majesty the Empress.
The Yamen servant nodded: "Yes, you three. Our master likes to make friends with businessmen from all over the world. Knowing that the three of you have entered the county, I specially prepared good wine and food in the restaurant today to entertain you three."
"That's really thoughtful!"
Xiao Linglong gritted her silver teeth.
Zhao Kang, right?
…
Fengyue Tower.
Zhao Kang yawned, and the shop owner smiled humbly: "Mr. Zhao, do you think the food is ready to be served?"
"Why are you so anxious? Just remember it. If I don't ask anyone to change the tea later, just give me some random dishes to fool me. Otherwise, just give me the highest standard. Do you understand?"
"Uh, why is this?" The boss, who thought Zhao Kang would support him today and make a huge profit, was a little depressed.
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to explain. Could his time and energy be wasted?
The officer who was sent out has returned: "Sir, the people are here."
Zhao Kang had already seen the three people behind the Yamen servant, put on a sincere smile and walked forward.
"Okay, you go on patrol first. Boss Liu, please go down too. You three, sit down quickly. You three have come from afar. Are you used to staying in our Yuanjiang County?"
While greeting the three of them, Zhao Kang had already seen all the subtle movements of Lu Yuan and Mr. Lin.
The little girl kept looking at the woman in the middle. The old man was half a step behind intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, the veiled person in the middle was the real owner.
The two next to them must be servants.
Although she already wished that Zhao Kang could be arrested and punished, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but be curious when she thought about how prosperous life was in Yuanjiang County now.
How did the young county magistrate Zhima Guan manage Yuanjiang County like this?
Well, just wait until his governance plan and policies are clear before killing him!
As for the promotion of Zhao Kang that he wanted to do before?
Now Xiao Linglong has no such thoughts at all.
Is it possible that we really let this bastard drive the brothel to the imperial capital?
After settling down, Xiao Linglong forced Lu Yuan and Mr. Lin to sit down with a smile, and said politely: "You're welcome, sir. Yuanjiang County is full of wonders. What we saw and heard along the way was eye-opening for the three of us."
Zhao Kang snickered in his heart, nonsense, if you don't make all kinds of weird things, how can you find someone to take advantage of?
Without any nonsense, Zhao Kang poured a cup of tea for the three of them and got straight to the point: "I wonder where the three of you are from? What kind of business do you do in your daily life? Maybe we can still cooperate with each other."
Xiao Linglong slightly raised her eyebrows and started talking nonsense: "Sir, this little girl is from Daming Mansion, and her family is in the porcelain and tea business."
"Daming Mansion?"
Zhao Kang was stunned and his eyes became alert: "Daming Mansion is not close to Jiangling Mansion, why did the young lady come to our Yuanjiang County?"
Seeing that Zhao Kang was suspicious, Xiao Linglong calmly smiled and said: "Sir, don't we businessmen travel all day long? The little girl originally planned to go to Jiangling Prefecture to find sources of goods. She ended up in Yuanjiang County by accident."
"That's it." Zhao Kang relaxed a little, as long as he wasn't some imperial envoy who paid a private visit in disguise.
There is no news from above, it seems that I am still very safe!
Thinking about the way Zhao Kang looks at Xiao Linglong, his eyes are different. Does his family run a porcelain tea business?
I also came to Jiangling Prefecture to look for supplies. What a big green leek!
It was obviously summer, but Xiao Linglong suddenly felt a chill. Something was strange. Why did she feel like she was being watched?
"Boy, the tea is almost gone. Change the tea quickly and ask your boss to hurry up. I'm starving to death!" Zhao Kang gave the secret signal.
After a while, new tea was served. Green Yuan took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Miss, this is another tea with a different taste. It tastes really good."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Linglong looked at Mr. Lin, who nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Kang: "Master Zhao, this is really weird. I have been drinking tea all my life, but I have never heard of this tea? And the tea should not always be hot.
Why is this tea cold?"
Zhao Kang was sitting upright, as if he was going to tell you a big secret.
"Three of you, you guys don't know something. The tea making process in our Yuanjiang County was taught by the tea fairy Lu Yu! And it has never been worn outside, so of course no outsider has ever tasted it."
Xiao Linglong looked at Zhao Kang with some confusion: "Tea Fairy Lu Yu?"
She said she was a tea merchant, which was undoubtedly a lie, but as the king of a country, how could she not be familiar with tea.
But I have never heard of the Tea Fairy Lu Yu since I was a child!
Of course she had never heard of it, because Zhao Kang was also telling lies.
"Yes, Tea Fairy Lu Yu! He passed by our Yuanjiang County before and saw that our Yuanjiang County was poor, so he taught us the art of making tea. You three don't know something, this Tea Fairy looks like a fairy.
, he looks like an expert from outside the world at first glance. Take the Peiyuan Qingcha we are drinking now."
"Women drink it to beautify their skin, and men drink it to replenish blood and strengthen virility. The picking of this tea is even more demanding. It must be picked by a fifteen-year-old girl with the tip of her tongue. It doesn't matter if she is one year older or younger. Therefore, the tea fairy said that this tea also has
What a nice name, it’s called Bird’s Tongue!”
“From picking to frying, there is nothing careless!”
As soon as Zhao Kang boasted, the inexperienced little girl Lu Yuan's eyes widened.
Xiao Linglong had doubts in her heart, "Is it really so precious?"
Zhao Kang hummed: "This tea, I would not drink it on weekdays. I only use it to entertain guests. In addition, the iced black tea the three of us drank in the inn were also taught to us by the tea fairy.
From Yuanjiang County.”
Mr. Lin asked curiously: "It's strange, why have we never heard of this tea fairy?"
Zhao Kang held the tea cup and said with emotion: "The Tea Fairy loves tea and does not seek fame or fortune, but only wants everyone in the world to drink tea. He doesn't care about these false reputations at all."
The three people on the opposite side were immediately in awe. Mr. Lin nodded: "I am ignorant!"
Everyone in the world has tea to drink. What a noble ideal!
Truly a tea fairy!
Green Yuan asked: "Master Zhao, how do you sell this tea?"
"Twenty-two and one-two!" Zhao Kang said in a deep voice.
Mr. Lin's hand shaking the tea almost spilled it. Xiao Linglong's eyes bulged: "Sir, what did you say? Twenty taels or one tael? Two hundred taels per catty!"
"Yes, I also know that the price is a bit low, but in order to follow the tea fairy's ambition that everyone can drink tea, I am happy to lose money."
Zhao Kang sighed: "It's all for the people of the world!"
The theme was sublimated in an instant. Green Yuan looked at Zhao Kang with admiration. He is really a good official who serves the country and the people!
She was randomly rewarded with anything in the palace, ranging from tens to hundreds of taels, and a mere twenty taels was nothing at all.
