Just out of rating, it will rise, haha.

Tang Youyou opened her eyes and found herself an ancient, timid widow. Having been single for over 30 years, she inexplicably skipped marriage and chil...

Chapter 137 The First Pot of Gold

The waiter who was wiping the table inside noticed them.

"You two, are you looking for someone?"

After all, the two of them were not only dressed in ordinary clothes, but also in a very shabby way.

The village chief bowed and said, "Young man, Master Li said you guys collect tea leaves here!"

The waiter was slightly surprised that it was the person introduced by the master, and quickly welcomed him in.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the shopkeeper!"

"Thank you, bro!"

Tang Youyou then looked around the teahouse. The name "Changyinju" was simple, but the furnishings inside were not simple at all.

The teahouse is divided into two floors. The lobby is very spacious with only seven or eight tables.

"You two, Shopkeeper Yun invites you!"

The waiter took the two of them to the backyard, where they discovered a different world.

There are many stone tables, pavilions, towers and rockeries, and a stage for opera in the middle. There is a different scene at every step.

Tang Youyou once again experienced the feeling of a country bumpkin coming to the city.

On the other hand, the village chief's eyes were full of shock, and then he lowered his head and said nothing.

She couldn't help but sigh: He is really an honest farmer, he doesn't even dare to look at me for too long?

After a while, the three of them stopped beside a pavilion and saw a middle-aged man in a long gown waiting for them with a smile on his face.

The two of them bowed together: "Greetings, Shopkeeper Yun!"

Shopkeeper Yun stroked his beard and asked, "So you guys want to sell tea?"

Hearing this, Tang Youyou put the basket on the table and took out the bamboo tube.

"Please check the goods first!"

She was unsure, after all, the green tea she had drunk before was around the Qingming Festival, and the taste was really not that good.

Shopkeeper Yun opened it, shook some off, and sniffed it. "Freshly fried?"

Tang Youyou was a little embarrassed, "I made it all night last night!"

Shopkeeper Yun looked at the waiter, who understood and quickly brought a pot of hot water.

He made a cup of tea for Shopkeeper Yun. He first looked at the color of the tea soup, frowned slightly, then tasted the tea without even taking a sip.

Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat. It looked like it wasn't going to work. If she had known earlier, she would have just bought some fake ones at the mall.

Shopkeeper Yun smiled faintly and said, "Green tea is best around the Qingming Festival. It's not easy for you to make it for the first time."

Tang Youyou understood. This shopkeeper was not simple. He could actually see that they were cooking for the first time. This was a failure! This was a failure!

The village chief was also a little embarrassed. He understood what was said and hesitated.

"Forget it... Since Lord Li introduced him, why wouldn't I accept him?"

He counted the bamboo buckets and found they were thirty in total. "Waiter, go get fifty taels of silver!"

The village chief opened his eyes wide, feeling unbelievable. There were only about fifteen or sixteen kilograms in total. Wasn't it too much?

Tang Youyou didn't know the price of tea in ancient times, but she heard that this tea was only accessible to the rich and powerful, and ordinary people had no way of getting access to it. Usually, a cup of sugar water was the limit for entertaining guests!

So she didn't think the price was high.

Both of them lowered their heads and said nothing. Seeing this, Manager Yun sighed in his heart. No wonder the master asked people to come here. They were too honest. It would be strange if they didn't get cheated if they went somewhere else.

Only after the waiter handed over the silver did the village chief come to his senses. His lips trembled and his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yun!"

Tang Youyou took the opportunity to ask, "Shopkeeper Yun, do you know which brick kiln sells tiles at a good price?"

Shopkeeper Yun looked at her with appreciation. This woman was quite clever.

He looked at the waiter and said, "I have nothing to do right now. Go and tell Shopkeeper Su and ask him to give me a better price!"

The waiter bowed respectfully: "Yes!"

The two were overjoyed, now both issues were resolved.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yun. I wish your business will reach new heights!" Tang Youyou flattered him for the first time.

Shopkeeper Yun waved his hand and the three of them left.

He looked at the tea leaves and muttered to himself: "What a pity this tea leaves are wasted!"

He walked out of the store carrying a bamboo basket and wanted to ask Li for reimbursement.

Li's eyes lit up as she looked at the tea leaves in her hand. "You mean, they fried this?"

"Madam, when have I ever lied to you? You must compensate me with these fifty taels of silver. This is my private money!"

Li said angrily, "Your brain has become rusty for a moment?"

Shopkeeper Yun was very angry. He did a favor for the master, but he was still being scolded?

"Madam, if you don't want to make up for it, then don't make up for it. Why are you scolding me?"

Li's face was filled with disappointment. "You've been smart all your life, but you've been foolish for a moment. Even though the tea doesn't taste good, it has a lot to do with the tea itself. It's really good that I can achieve this level of skill on my first try!"

Shopkeeper Yun muttered to himself, "Is it the first time? I don't know. I just said it casually!"

Li was unconcerned. "Tea prices are skyrocketing these days, and the tea roaster is being tightly controlled by them. I'd say these people are quite capable. At least they dared to try, and they succeeded!"

Shopkeeper Yun was stunned. The first half of the sentence was quite right, but he did not agree with the second half. How could this be called a success?

He drank more tea than he ate salt.

"Ahem... Madam, this can't be considered a success. The tea is too bland, and some of it is burnt!"

Li glared at him, "Is that the point?"

Shopkeeper Yun: So what is the point?

"Ahem... I really admire their courage to try. As they say, practice makes perfect. Maybe they'll be able to do really well in the future. I'm optimistic about them!"

Shopkeeper Yun's mouth twitched, "Madam, this tea is for you, this silver..."

"What silver? I'm going to give this tea to the servants in the mansion. I won't invite you to lunch! You're quite busy!"
