Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 45 Top Grade Mingqian Tea

"Treasurer Dong has good eyesight."

Bai Ningxiang quietly looked at Shopkeeper Dong's expression, and the brows twitched, as expected.

This is what she wanted. She made the tea with her own hands. She knows how to open it to make it most attractive.

"If shopkeeper Dong is interested, you can try to make a cup, taste the tea soup, and see if you can drink it."

"The little girl is so determined, neither arrogant nor impatient, very good." The shopkeeper looked at the calm girl, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "You are right, the tea will eventually be imported, no matter how good the appearance is. , the taste is not good, after all, it is a big taboo."

Shopkeeper Dong said, took a teaspoon to fill once, and called Xiao Er to come over with a pot of hot water.

Famous clear tea, if you want visual enjoyment, it is best to use white porcelain.

Shopkeeper Dong is an expert, and what he puts out is also a set of white jade porcelain tea sets, Sancai bowls, fairness cups, tea cups, and bamboo saucers, which are pleasing to the eye.

Warm the cup, put the dry tea into the tea bowl, and pour hot water around the edge. When the water reaches one-third, the shopkeeper Dong stops, covers the lid, picks up the Sancai bowl, turns it slightly twice and puts it down, which is called moistening. Tea.

Then add water again, and the soup comes out. In the justice cup, the soup color is blue and slightly yellow. After the shopkeeper Dong divided the cups, he twisted the tea lid to smell the fragrance, and then checked the bottom of the leaves.

I took a sip until the temperature was pleasant, and the tea soup swirled around in my mouth and entered my throat.

"Fresh and refreshing taste, strong aftertaste, smooth in the mouth, long-lasting fragrance, green leaves at the bottom, stretching freely, and good appearance."

Hearing Shopkeeper Dong's honest evaluation, Bai Ningxiang was happy in her heart, she finally chose the right place, just when she was about to say something, one of the tea cups in front of her was suddenly taken away.

Zhao Xian, who was sitting in the account room, listened to shopkeeper Dong's slow comments, couldn't help it, and walked out. He glanced at Bai Ningxiang, picked up the tea cup, and drank it in one, two, three sips.

"Well, it's this year's new tea. It's not bad. It's a little hot. After half a month, it will taste the best."

Zhao Xian put down his cup, glanced at Bai Ningxiang, "That's all?"

Seeing that the master came out, Bai Ningxiang gently shook her head, "There are still some at home, I just want to come here today to find out the way, and learn about the price of new tea by the way."

Hearing Bai Ningxiang's words, Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows, looked at her again, the corners of his lips curled up, a little frivolous,

"Young lady is a real person. Apart from the season of picking good tea, the most important thing is the production method. Judging by the appearance of the tea you brought, the craftsmanship is good. It should come from the hands of a master who has been around for more than 20 to [-] years."

"The market price of green tea this year has been clarified. Mingqian tea is [-] renminbi a catty, Grain Rain tea is scheduled for [-] renminbi a catty, and Sanchun tea is [-] renminbi a catty. This is the market price. About [-] jin of tea green will yield a jin of dry tea. In other words, the cost of a catty of dry tea is two and a half to three taels of silver, and I won't take advantage of you, if you agree to sell them all to the Zhao family, I will pay three and a half taels per catty."

As Zhao Xian said, he picked up the tea and took another sip. The herbal tea tasted even sweeter.

After listening to Zhao Xian's words, Bai Ningxiang was sure again in her heart that the rumors were not credible, and the person in front of her was an upright businessman.

"Young Master Zhao is indeed a person who understands tea. He has a thorough analysis, and the little girl admires it... But, you also said that my tea is top-grade and made by a master master. Isn't the price too low?"

"Furthermore, Mingqian tea is only cropped once a year. The output is small and the quality is good. If you miss it, you have to wait another year."

Bai Ningxiang's speech was unhurried and coherent, without giving Zhao Xian a chance to interrupt.
