But he did see Lan Yao nod, which was considered confirmation of his question.
Fu Lu's mind started racing. He was thinking that when the woman came later, he would definitely serve her well, as she was the young master's benefactor! He just didn't expect that this reclusive master would be selling embroidery on the street, although the embroidery was indeed quite good!
Having received confirmation from Lan Yao, Qin San Niang took care of the young girls who had bought earmuffs and gloves. Then, she and Pang Ya packed up the remaining items and prepared to go to the teahouse for tea.
I've been here for so long and have had tea before, but this is the first time I've ever done something as sophisticated as going to a teahouse to drink tea!
Although Fatty was still a little worried about what would happen if she couldn't sell all the gloves and earmuffs, she stopped worrying when she remembered what her mother had told her to listen to her aunt. As for the young master from earlier, he didn't seem very smart, and the servant next to him had thin arms and legs; he didn't look like a good fighter at all. Fatty was confident that she could win!
So, I quickly packed my things, slung my basket over my shoulder, and prepared to go have some tea.
What is tea? She's never had any before!
The teahouse they agreed to meet was called Fuyun Teahouse. A plaque hung above the entrance, with four bright gold characters that read "Fuyun Teahouse," making it look very high-end.
Seeing this, Qin San Niang's first impression was, "How wealthy! How rich!" Her second impression was, "How vulgar!"
Stepping into the tea shop, a wave of heat hit us, making Qin San Niang's icy hands and feet itch a little, and Fatty was even more so, her already red nose looked even redder!
Qin San Niang looked around and thought, "There must be a fire wall here?" So there was already a fire wall at this time. It seems my idea is useless!
Upon closer inspection, the wall even emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance. Forgive my ignorance, but I guess it was probably coated with a mixture of peppercorns. Oh dear, what extravagance and waste! It's something that farmers like us, who are barely able to make ends meet, can never imagine!
The ancient Pepper Chamber was nothing special! She had learned from her senior brother that the Pepper Chamber Palace was indeed coated with a paint made from peppercorns! In ancient times, peppercorns were not a seasoning, but a precious spice!
Speaking of this senior, he's quite an oddball in the police force. He comes from a wealthy family but wants to be a lowly policeman, and he even chooses the most dangerous role of criminal investigator! He's clearly a highly learned and talented person, yet he wants to be a martial arts expert! Sometimes, Qin Jiangqiu really wants to crack open his head to see what's so special about his thought process!
However, on the other hand, when Qin San Niang plans to build her own house, she can also use this coating made from peppercorns, which can not only produce fragrance and keep warm, but also prevent insects, moths and ants!
Before she could finish her reverie, a disdainful voice came from the other end.
"Hey, who are you people? Do you think this is a place for beggars like you to just walk in? Get out of here right now, or you'll dirty the floor I just swept!" A young man in a waiter's shirt shouted as he rushed over!
He had noticed the two women earlier. One was an older woman who looked married with children. The other was a plump, dark-skinned girl who, despite wearing a cotton-padded coat, clearly came from the countryside.
Their Floating Cloud Teahouse is frequented by wealthy gentlemen, ladies, and young women. How could they allow someone like that to stand in the hall? If those rich patrons saw him, they would think that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could just walk into their house!
Upon being reprimanded, the chubby girl's face turned bright red, half angry and half embarrassed. She could only stammer, "How can you talk like that? We had an appointment to have tea here with someone."
To her surprise, upon hearing her words, the waiter laughed instead, put down the rag he was using to wipe the table, and looked up with a sneer, "Oh, so which guest invited you? Do you know how much a cup of tea costs here? If no guest invited you, you really couldn't afford it!"
Look at their shabby appearance and those baskets on their backs, they must have been setting up a stall outside just now!
Since they said someone had invited them, the waiter wasn't in a hurry to send them away, but he didn't really believe it. He figured that if he just barked at them like that, the two of them would turn around and leave!
"You young fellow, you've already picked up that snobbish attitude of looking down on people. If your master knew how you treat guests, I wonder if he'd still dare to employ you? Unless he's just as shallow as you! If that's the case, your teahouse won't last more than a few years!"
Qin San Niang stepped into the middle of the hall and casually found a table to sit down. What a joke! Her clothes were perfectly clean! Dare to mess with her? She'd open a teahouse and bankrupt you in no time!
"You ignorant country bumpkin, do you even know who owns this tea shop? How dare you spout such nonsense here! If my owner hears this, he'll skin you alive!" This country bumpkin actually compared him to a dog?!
The waiter was furious and wanted to throw the woman out, but he had been a waiter for many years and was not without sense. Could it be that the woman was really invited in by a guest?
"Oh, I'm really interested to know who the owner of your tea shop is, that you have such poor taste! As a waiter, you are the face of the tea shop. If I were the owner, I would never allow a waiter to be so insolent. Don't you understand the principle of treating guests as guests? You're either looking down on people or abusing your power!"
Qin San Niang was no stranger to treating people differently based on their status; she had encountered this even in her previous life when she was Qin Jiang Qiu.
She had just finished her shift and went shopping with the scumbag before she even had time to change her clothes. It was also the first time the scumbag took her to a luxury store.
To be honest, Qin Jiangqiu's family was already quite well-off; it wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they just felt it wasn't necessary. The sales clerk, seeing her attire, looked impatient and almost blurted out, "Can you even afford this?"
Qin Jiangqiu wasn't one to show off or fight, so he ignored her! But he went to the shop next door and bought a full set of equipment, then strode past the astonished eyes of the locals.
The reason for this was twofold: firstly, she genuinely needed such an outfit, as the scumbag's career was just beginning to take off, and there were occasions where she was required to attend; secondly, it was also a token of the scumbag's affection, and she couldn't refuse it! However, later on, others took advantage of the situation, and she barely used the expensive outfit twice.
In the past, Qin San Niang had despised the mistress, but after calming down and thinking about it, how could it all be the mistress's fault? As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks! That egg was never a good egg to begin with!
However, Qin San Niang still curses them, wondering if they're doing well? Certainly not! May they have a son soon, and may the scumbag husband get hit by a car, die from overeating, or choke to death while eating!
She received the report the day before discovering the affair and learned that the scumbag had virtually no vitality, so the inability to have children was entirely his fault! Ironically, Qin San Niang kept arguing with herself! In the chat logs, San'er kept claiming to be pregnant—where did this child come from?!
Seeing Qin San Niang's complexion and the unpredictable emotions in her eyes, the waiter suddenly felt a chill. He must have been mistaken; it must have been these two village women who brought in the cold wind from outside!
"My boss, you'd better not know, lest you ordinary folks be frightened!"
"Oh, I had no idea the Xie family of Jiangzhou had become so powerful! How could they inspire such fear in everyone? Have they become the local tyrants of Jiangzhou?!"
A burst of unrestrained laughter came from behind. Who else could it be but Lan Yao?
