Zou Tongpan rubbed the jasper finger on his thumb and spoke casually.
"Yes, it's just that this gift requires some help from the adults before I can offer it."
Shopkeeper Feng was also obedient. At this time, he raised his head, clasped his fists, and begged again. However, the bruise on his face had not completely subsided, and he smiled so flatteringly that Zou Tongpan even felt that his eyes were stained.

Frowning, he took another tea cup and took another sip. The fragrant and slightly bitter tea went into his throat. Zou Cheng frowned, and suddenly Shopkeeper Feng's face no longer looked so annoying.
"you say."
"The little man accidentally tasted a good tea. This tea has a long and fragrant fragrance, is slightly bitter but sweet, and has the aroma of osmanthus. It is really a rare treasure."
Zou Tong's ability to judge good tea was a secret known to everyone in the entire state, including merchants and officials. As long as he could tell the news that the girl knew how to make osmanthus tea, he would not believe that his boss was not curious.
Tea with the scent of osmanthus?
When Zoucheng heard this, his upper body, which had been leaning loosely on the back of the chair, leaned forward slightly.
"What about tea? Did you bring it today?"
"The villain is incompetent."
I thought that shopkeeper Feng would be able to serve good tea right here, but unexpectedly, he dropped his head to the ground and drank even more.
"The villain went to this person to ask for a prescription before, but the man not only refused to sell it, but also encouraged others to beat him up."

Are you still here to ask yourself to make the decision for him?
Zou Cheng almost applauded the shopkeeper for his courage. He went round and round to find out what he meant? Or did he think he was more patient now than before?
Quite courageous!
"Feng Xiang!"
Zou Tongpan placed the tea cup heavily on the small table and shouted angrily, almost making Shopkeeper Feng jump up from the ground in shock.
"The villain is here!"
"What is the purpose of your coming here today? To be honest, don't make any more detours, otherwise my patience will be limited!"
Seeing that his boss even said the word 'my official', Feng Xiang suddenly felt bad and hurriedly explained the matter in a few words.
"This tofu recipe is still a trivial matter. It doesn't matter whether Ruian Lou can get it or not. It's just that if this scented tea can be held in the hands of Lord Tongpan, from now on..."
Although the words were unfinished, Zou Tongpan understood clearly.
In ancient times, violence was nothing more than salt, tea, and wine. Nowadays, salt is owned by the government and wine is regulated. Only tea can be sold among the people without being affected. People in the great prosperous dynasty loved tea, from the emperor to the common people.
Farmers who work in the fields often buy some tea foam to cook and drink in hot weather, which shows its wide acceptance.
And based on what Shopkeeper Feng just said, making this osmanthus tea itself does not require high-quality tea leaves. If this tea can really capture the fragrance of the flowers and cover up the bitterness of the tea, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds? If you think further, there are countless fragrant flowers in the world.
How come only osmanthus can be used in tea?!
Thinking of this, Zou Tongpan closed his eyes slightly and remained calm, while shopkeeper Feng below was beating in his heart.
He flattered him, which sounded very good, but he didn't actually bring out the tea leaves. Will his boss believe him?
"You said this tea maker owns a tofu shop?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, okay, you can go back, I have my own arrangements for this matter."
Having said that, Zou Tongpan didn't even open his eyes. He just waved his hand and asked Shopkeeper Feng to step back. His gesture seemed to be to drive away some annoying flies.
The second day
In the morning, when Zhuang's Bean Shop was doing a booming business, there was a long queue on the street outside Tianshui Lane, and the neighbors were chatting back and forth, which was not boring at all.

"Old man, you've finished picking up the tofu, don't let it fall apart."
In the store, Zhuang Keqing and Lu Qingshu cooperated very well. One collected the money, the other cut the tofu and took the dried beans. They were busy and happy and hard at the same time.
But at this time, a few Zaoyi government officials came from far away from the street entrance. They walked in a hurry, pushing away the people who were blocking the road, kicking over the stalls that were in the way, and headed straight for Tianshui Lane.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing so rampantly?"
"That's right! Isn't the government officer great?"
There were quite a few people walking in the morning, and many of them were elderly people who came out to buy groceries. Some people were pushed or squeezed and fell down on the spot. Although everyone was usually afraid of the government, but now they saw that they were acting so unreasonably.
All of a sudden they felt unhappy and opened their mouths to speak.
"What's the fuss about? The government is handling the case. If you have nothing to do with it, avoid it quickly so as not to bring disaster to the pond. Don't say that I didn't warn you in advance!" qqxsnew
The leader was a government servant dressed in red. He had a long knife at his waist and stood in the middle of the crowd. Behind him were four followers, who looked quite majestic.
When the residents heard that they were here to handle a case, they thought something big had happened here, so they crowded to the side of the road to make way for them.
"It turned out that the yamen were handling the case, so that's understandable."

"But what kind of cases can we handle in Tianshui Lane? Even those habitual thieves have been rampant here for several years, but they have never been arrested by the government officials."
"Hey, who knows? Why don't you go and have a look?"
The residents didn't dare to follow too closely, so they just stayed far away. As a result, they saw the government officials find themselves in front of Zhuang's Bean Shop. The leader looked up at the plaque, and then took out something from his arms.
When the paper came, he raised his head and said to the follower behind him, "This is the place, seal it for me!"
The neighbors were still queuing up, but who knew that so many government officials suddenly arrived, so they were rushed out of the shop, saying that they wanted to close the shop.
"What are you doing?!"
"That's right, seal the shop properly!"
"I haven't bought any tofu today!"
Everyone pointed at the officer's nose and pushed him with their hands, which made the officer in red get angry and draw his sword.
"Everyone else, please leave quickly! Officials are handling the case and are not allowed to intrude!"
As soon as the knife was pulled out, it reflected a bright cold light, which frightened everyone for a while. No one dared to shout, and they all stepped back.

Zhuang Keqing and Lu Qingshu in the store were also confused. Their store was open well, why was it suddenly closed?
"Lord Officer, is there any misunderstanding here?"
In the confusion, Zhuang Keqing weighed the last guest's things and handed them over, and sent them out. Then he turned around, bowed to several government servants, and asked loudly.
"Misunderstand?"
The officer in red looked at the girl in front of him from top to bottom. She was twenty-eight years old, and she was pretty and pretty. She looked very polite, but it was a pity that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended.
"Look, this is a misunderstanding."
The yamen servant didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he just opened the document in his hand and sent it to Zhuang Keqing.
"Are you literate? Do you need me and you to read it?"
The other party had a tough attitude and was holding a document. Lu Qingshu, who was standing by, felt nervous.
What the hell is going on?

So she also came out from behind the counter, walked to Zhuang Keqing, and looked at the thin paper with her.
There are only a few numbers in the whole document, which simply states that Zhuang's Dou Shop does not comply with the laws of the dynasty and should be closed down. However, it does not clearly state where it violates the laws, but the red seal of the government on the lower left is real.
this……
Lu Qingshu frowned slightly, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She turned her head and looked at the girl next to her, but saw a hint of understanding in her eyes.
As soon as Zhuang Keqing saw this document, his heart felt like a mirror.
Since her family arrived in the state capital, they have always been friendly with others. Except for the farce a few days ago, they have never had any grudges with anyone.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid this is what the shopkeeper of Ruian Building said, 'we'll see'.
I can't tell that this shopkeeper is really capable and can hire people to influence the government. Perhaps as Mr. Yan said, the owner of Ruian Building is an official in the state government, and his official rank is not small.
"How? But it's a misunderstanding?"
The yamen officer had a smug look on his face, put away the documents with a brush, and raised his hand to wave. The few followers who were guarding the door rushed in. While sealing the shop, they also took Zhuang Keqing.

"What do you mean by this?!"
Seeing this, Lu Qingshu hurriedly stopped in front of the girl and angrily said: "This document only says to close the store, but not to take people away. Where do you get the right?"
"Hmph! Closing the shop means there is a problem with the shop. If there is a problem, why not take the boss back for questioning?"
The officer in red didn't bother to explain to the woman anymore. He just pursed his lips and the attendant behind him stepped forward to push Lu Qingshu to take her.
When the neighbors outside saw this scene, they felt a little worried for the banker's girl.
They want to help, but things are unclear now, and the government is different from the previous restaurant owner, so how can ordinary people like them resist.
"Wait a minute."
The two government officials, one on the left and one on the right, were about to touch Lu Qingshu who was blocking the front with their thick palms. At this moment, Zhuang Keqing gave a clear shout, causing them to move.
"I'm going with you, but please don't start a fight with others."
