Chapter 80

In a prosperous area of ​​the capital, a newly renovated shop ushered in its opening ceremony today.

A red and festive red cloth was hung on the huge door plaque, a bright red carpet was laid on the ground in front of the door, and flowers were placed on both sides.

At this time, the door was already crowded with spectators.

Wearing casual clothes, Gao Dali, who is easy to be overbearing, is hiding in the crowd.

Not long after, twelve beautiful women wearing palace skirts with elegant and noble temperament walked out of the shop, holding an extremely delicate box in their hands.

Such a scene immediately aroused the curiosity of the onlookers, who were discussing what was inside.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man came out, bowed his hands to everyone, and said with a smile: "Thank you all neighbors and neighbors for your support. I am the shopkeeper of this shop. The opening ceremony begins now!"

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper pulled the rope attached to the red cloth on the plaque.

Whoa!

The red cloth fell.

Three vigorous and powerful characters were revealed.

Royal Tea House!
Immediately, discussions on the scene rang out.

"Royal tea? Could it be that it is exclusively for His Majesty?"

"Nonsense, it must be reserved exclusively for His Majesty. The title of Royal Tea cannot be used casually!"

"I don't know what kind of tea His Majesty is drinking, and what it tastes like. I really want to taste it!"

"What's the hurry? After the opening ceremony, we'll just buy some and go home!"

Just as everyone was discussing, twelve beautiful women in palace skirts spoke in unison.

"Born out of innovation, and here for subversion, eight dean-level court tea masters from six major tea categories, using premium raw materials and traditional craftsmanship, went through 36 steps to jointly create a master-level imperial tea."

"One box, one brew, eight famous teas, satisfying various tastes and preferences. The hand-made teas have been hand-made by palace masters for thousands of years, showing the essence of tea. Master-level big dry high-end small imperial teas are your choice of taste."

"One tea, one box, one brew, enjoy a comfortable life, make a lot of high-end good tea Xiaoyucha, created by the palace tea masters with painstaking efforts, showing the essence of traditional famous tea, a good tea made with heart - Xiaoyucha .”

"Little imperial tea after dinner, it's better than the emperor's house!"

Hearing these refreshing slogans, the onlookers suddenly became more interested.

Someone shouted impatiently: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me how much it is, master, I will buy a catty and taste it first!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately echoed it.

"That's right, stop whining!"

"What these women are holding is Little Royal Tea, right? The packaging is pretty delicate, tell me how much it is!"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your love, the price of each box of Little Royal Tea is 160 six taels!"

The scene was silent for a long time, and everyone was dumbfounded. Did they hear correctly, 160 six taels a box?
Then there were bursts of scolding.

"It's too expensive. It sells for 160 six taels per catty, which is enough to buy dozens of catties of other high-quality tea leaves!"

"Yeah, even imperial tea can't be so expensive!"

"Aren't you cheating people?"

Hearing what everyone said, the shopkeeper smiled lightly, pointed to the brocade box held in the arms of the woman in the palace skirt and said loudly: "Everyone, I have to explain, it is not 160 taels of silver per catty, but one tael, that is, one tael." Small can, 160 six taels!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly exploded.

"One tael, 160 six taels?! Why don't you grab it?"

"Do you think we are fools?"

"Who would buy such expensive tea? Is it supposed to be made of gold?"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Faced with everyone's abuse, the shopkeeper remained unmoved, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone! Everyone! Just listen to me!"

After everyone was quiet for a while, the shopkeeper opened his mouth.

"You guys don't know that every piece of tea leaves in this little royal tea is picked by the mouth of a beautiful maiden every morning, and then eight dean-level court tea masters, using the long-lost ancient tea-making techniques, fry four tea leaves in a row. Shichen, the finest tea made through 36 processes."

"This tea has a fresh and elegant fragrance. It does not need to be boiled with green onion, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc. It only needs to be brewed in boiling water. It has a unique flavor, and even His Majesty praised it. I tasted it, and no one said anything bad about it!"

"Besides, 160 six taels is a good fortune. Anyone who can afford a small imperial tea is either rich or expensive. They are either officials or businessmen. Who doesn't want their official and business careers to go smoothly?"

"So, a box of 160 six taels of tea is not expensive at all. Not to mention being able to taste the dragon spirit of His Majesty, it is also a symbol of status and status. How can it be compared with ordinary tea?"

"Besides, even if you buy this tea and don't drink it, it's still very good to give as a gift. How face-saving is it?"

Hearing this, many people were already a little moved.

At this moment, Gao Dali secretly signaled for Tuo'er to enter the stage, but was preempted by an old man in a luxurious suit: "The imperial tea you bought here is really for His Majesty?"

Seeing this person, Gao Dali was secretly happy, and signaled that Tuo'er didn't need to appear.

Someone in the crowd recognized the identity of the old man, and hurriedly bowed and bowed: "So it's Mr. Yushitai Zhu, I'm so polite!"

Immediately more people paid homage.

However, Lord Zhu ignored it, walked straight to the shopkeeper, and said in a deep voice: "This morning, I drank the royal tea given by Your Majesty in the main hall. If you dare to lie to me, I will read a book, and you will definitely not be able to eat it." Let's go!"

The shopkeeper bowed and bowed, and said decisively: "My lord, don't worry, if what Xiaomin said is true, you can kill Xiaomin!"

Then he turned around and said to the shop waiter behind him, "Don't you make tea for your lord?"

The waiter in the shop smiled all over his face: "Okay, it will be ready soon!"

Immediately, one person came out with a tray, with a teacup and a pot of boiling water on it.

The shopkeeper came to the woman in the palace skirt, opened the small imperial tea package, pinched a handful of tea leaves, put them into the tea cup, and then brewed them with boiling water for a while.

"Master Zhu, you can smell it first, and then taste it!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, with a confident face.

Master Zhu came to the teacup and smelled it, his eyes lit up immediately.

"That's what it tastes like!"

Then he blew on the tea soup lightly, took a sip carefully, and pouted his mouth, gradually showing an excited expression: "That's right, it's the imperial tea given by His Majesty today!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled slightly.

The crowd of onlookers was in a commotion, and some were eager to try.

Master Zhu waved his sleeves: "Give me ten boxes... no, twenty boxes!"

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

A box of one or two tea leaves costs 160 six taels of silver.

Twenty boxes, that is two catties of tea, three thousand 320 taels of silver!
Apart from the fact that the tea tastes so good that it explodes, who would be crazy to spend so much money on just two catties of tea?
