Houmen's concubine

Chapter 114 Meal
Thinking of this, Wang Tong'er looked at Qin Guigui's concubines who were all dressed up with complicated eyes.

How many of them are willing to serve their man and eat with his wife?

If you put this on yourself, pardon the concubine can't do it! '

This Mrs. Zhu didn't know if it was to show off her identity as the mistress, or to torment the concubines.

Tsk, what's the point of recruiting them to serve me for a meal every day?

As soon as Wang Tong'er was so distracted, the dishes had already been brought up one after another.

Unexpectedly, the meals in this merchant's house are also very elegant, and the dishes are not inferior to those in Zhongyonghou's Mansion.

The bowls and dishes are all exquisite porcelain, and the chopsticks are also inlaid with silver and jade, high-end and high-end.

The dishes are even more meat and vegetable partners. The soup and water are filled with a large table one after another, and there are probably more than [-] dishes.

The difference is that at that time, Wang Tong'er watched the masters enjoying it, and she stood there swallowing her saliva.

At this time, I am a converted serf singing, sitting here as the master, enjoying the delicious food in front of me.

Suddenly, there was a sense of pain and happiness in my heart.

When she came to her senses, Wang Tong'er was glad that she was here as a man, and she didn't have to be as pretentious as Qin Jingjing, with her small mouth like a squirrel looking for food. After eating a few small chopstick dishes and a few small mouthfuls of rice, she put down her chopsticks and sat there Wait for parents to finish eating before leaving.

In fact, she herself is also like this. The upbringing she has received since she was a child cannot be changed overnight.

At this moment, Wang Tong'er was sitting comfortably on the chair with big swords and golden horses. The posture of eating was not only elegant, but also able to satisfy her cravings happily, eating to her heart's content.

Of course, she doesn't want others to give her vegetables, if there are no three aunts watching her eat, maybe she can eat a few more mouthfuls of vegetables.

······
Wang Tong'er heard Xiao Cong and Xiao Min talking about the fact that the tenth day of the next month will be the annual tea fighting competition in Qinzhou.

She specially asked Xu Jinshen to go and find out.

The four major tea houses in Qinzhou and the other two who operate teahouse business will send people to participate in the competition from time to time. Most of the participants are tea business owners or young owners who have been tempered for many years.

Don't underestimate him when running a teahouse. The most expensive pot of tea costs ten taels of silver.

The teahouse not only operates tea business, but also sells pastries, fruits, and dozens of the most famous special dishes in Qinzhou.

Qinzhou faces the sea, and the specialty snacks must be fresh seafood.

There are storytellers and opera singers in the teahouse.

What attracts the most people to go to consume is the stunning famous actresses who are performing arts but not selling themselves on the high stage there, playing and singing...
The buildings of these two teahouses are also unique. From a distance, the three-story high-rise buildings are also flying eaves and cliffs, and they are not small.

If the tea fighting competition wins No.1, the business of the teahouse will be full of guests, and the business will be more prosperous!

Even in the capital, the teahouse is not so luxurious, the business is so good, and the grade is so high!

The reason is, of course, that there are many foreign merchants here, and besides going to restaurants, boat brothels, and teahouses, teahouses are also the best places to talk about business.

The tea fighting competition is a great opportunity for tea merchants to express themselves and their tea business.

And there are also a lot of benefits, which are directly reflected in the increase in the transaction volume and price of foreign merchants who came to participate in the tea fighting competition with them.

They thought that for those who won No. 1 in the tea fighting competition, the government would still stamp the government's seal on their tea packaging.

Therefore, merchants from other places come to buy tea every year, mostly because of this day.

The No. 1 in the tea fighting competition is not only expensive and the quantity of tea is sold this year, but also, any business that wins the No. 1 tea fighting competition will get tribute tea from their business in the coming year.

Therefore, for the sake of tribute tea, I have to show my housekeeping skills and work hard once a year.

These rules were proposed by an inspector censor who came to Qinzhou more than 20 years ago.

The first reason is that the tea in Qinzhou is really good, and the teas roasted by major commercial houses have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Every year for the sake of tribute tea, the major commercial houses compete viciously secretly and bribe the government.

Once, the Qinzhou tea market was in a mess, business plummeted, and foreign merchants also left disappointed.

It just so happened that this year, Mr. Xu, the inspector censor, and later Prime Minister Xu, Xie Yuheng's former father-in-law, came to Qinzhou to secretly investigate illegal salt, and he made this suggestion by the way.

This is how the tea fighting competition was born.

Since then, Qinzhou's tea has also embarked on the track of normal competition.

······
Wang Tong'er intends to participate in this tea fighting competition, so she is going to find Qin Baozhen, her father in name, and show her unique tea skills in front of him.

Try to make him nod and agree to participate in the tea fighting competition.

She got up very early that day, and after breakfast, led by Xiao Cong, she came to the tea room where Qin Baogui practiced tea behind closed doors these days.

Xiao Cong, who was holding the young master's tea set box in his hand, was really speechless.

Others used all kinds of exquisite and beautiful tea sets for making tea, but what his young master handed him were a few tea sets that looked like big bowls.

Wang Tong'er and Xiao Cong turned left and right and walked to the front of a remote single-door courtyard. There was a plaque at the entrance, with three big characters on it, 'Zhaohuaxuan'.

"Master, please stay."

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the boy guarding the door.

The guard at the gate is a young man named Li Zhong next to the master, Xiao Cong kindly negotiated with him: "Brother Li Zhong, please inform the young master."

Master Fan would often come to the tea room to practice his tea skills one month before the tea fighting competition.

Therefore, no one dared to disturb the master every time.

However, the person in front of him is the young master of the Qin family and the only future head of the Qin family, Li Zhong dare not offend.

Thinking of this, Li Zhong bowed to Wang Tong'er and said: "Young Master, please forgive me, let the slave go to inform the master first."

"Well, let's go!" Wang Tong'er opened the fan with a white jade handle in her hand with a "snap", and nodded.

Li Zhong was dazzled by Wang Tonger's actions, the young master is so handsome!

While sighing in his heart, he hurriedly ran to the courtyard to report to the master.

Step lightly into the tea room, and softly report to Qin Baozhen: "Master, the young master is here."

"Ok?"

Qin Baozhen originally planned to take her son with her after the tea fighting competition was over, and teach her the skill of making tea.

After all, the Qin family's Maosheng tea shop will also be handed over to her in the future.

However, there are still more than ten days until the tea fighting competition, and he has no time to take care of her. After the competition is over, he will teach her tea skills.

Unexpectedly, she is also a sensible person, and she came to the door by herself.

Forget it, let her come in to see and see.

Thinking of this, Qin Baozhen said to Li Zhong: "Well, let the young master come in!"

　Wang Tong'er looked at the delicious food on the table in front of her, and remembered that she watched the masters enjoy it in Zhongyonghou's mansion, and stood there swallowing her mouth.

　　At this time, I am a converted serf singing, sitting here as the master, enjoying the delicious food in front of me.
