Chapter 11 good mouth yam

Jinmen resort is full of talented people, and there are two master tea soup sellers here, who have become famous for this common street snack.Of these two, one is fat, black and thick, named Yang Qi; the other is thin, white and shrewd, known as Yang Ba.Yang Qi and Yang Ba are two good Sai brothers, but they have no relatives and no reason, but their father's surname is Yang.Yang Ba's real name is Yang Ba. Because "Ba" and "Ba" sound the same, and Yang Ba's age and appearance are younger than Yang Qi, people mistake him for Yang Qi's brother.But to say that the cooperation between the two is like left and right hands, and it is not comparable to brothers.Yang Qi is highly skilled, so he only focuses on production; Yang Ba is eloquent, and he only takes care of the outfield. Although they are the only two people inside and out, they are both bosses and buddies, but the trouble is more prosperous than big business.

Yang Qi's skill is good, the key lies in his unique skills. Generally, tea soup is made by brewing sorghum rice noodles, pinch a pinch of sesame seeds and sprinkle it on the floating head, so that the fragrance is only on the surface, and the more you drink, the less tasteful it will be.Yang Qi has his own clever trick. He first fills half a bowl of sorghum rice noodles, then sprinkles them with sesame seeds, then fills another half bowl of sorghum rice noodles, sprinkles them with sesame seeds again after brewing.Drink it like this until you see the aroma at the bottom of the bowl. Another unique skill of his is that instead of whole sesame seeds, they are first fried in an iron pan and then crushed with a rolling pin.Only when it is crushed can the fragrance inside come out.The sesame seeds must be fried until they are browned and not mushy, not yellow and not fragrant, too mushy and bitter;It's a hand job that others can't learn even if they know it.The skills of craftsmen are all in their hands, and the principle is similar to that of writing and drawing.

However, no matter how high the craftsmanship is, no matter how good the things are, they must be boasted by people in the business field.Three points live, seven points say, dead people say they live, broken goods become good goods, and most of the work of businessmen is in their mouths.When it comes time to play tricks on the spot, be slick in all directions, follow the wind to make the rudder, and have both ways, he will point to Yang Ba's good mouth. That time, when Li Hongzhang came to Tianjin, the local prefectures and counties tried their best to find out what kind of food and drink to make Mr. Zhongtang happy?For wealthy families in the capital, delicacies from mountains and seas are not fresh, but the fresh ones are local delicacies, but the snacks in Tianjin Wei are too thick and earthy: there are many small fish bones in the boil, which is easy to choke the throat; deep-fried mahua is hard, and it is not easy to crack the teeth.After pondering for three days, it was difficult to make a decision. Fortunately, the magistrate was a person who walked the streets and alleys on the ground. He had eaten all of them, so he recommended "Yangjia tea soup"; the tea soup was soft and sweet, delicious and safe, and all the officials praised it Well, that's how Yangba made his fortune.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Zhongtang listened to the local song Lianhualuozi, he was very interested and full of joy, he urinated in hot water, his body felt refreshed and his stomach was empty, and he wanted to eat some snacks.The magistrate hurriedly called "Yang Qi Yang Ba" to offer tea soup.Today, for the first time since they came into this world, they are brand new inside and out, green trousers and green coat, white scarves and white socks, and both hands are washed with soda so that they are as clean as Saituo's skin.They both brought the tea soup to the table in front of Li Zhongtang, then they both took five steps back and stood with their hands down, saying that they were waiting for orders, but they were really kind and rewarded.

Li Zhongtang was about to taste this famous Jinmen product when his fingertips touched the edge of the bowl, his eyes fell into the bowl, his brows frowned suddenly, his face became cloudy, and he slammed the bowl of tea soup to the ground with a "slap". Broken porcelain flew around, and the tea soup was spilled all over the floor, still steaming.All the officials present were stunned, Yang Qi and Yang Ba hurriedly knelt down, no one knew why Master Zhongtang was angry? One official was more confused than the other, which showed Yangba's understanding.He blinked, and immediately guessed that Mr. Zhongtang had never drunk tea soup before. He didn't know what the crushed sesame seeds sprinkled on the floating head were.But here comes the problem——

If you say it's sesame seeds, not dirty things, doesn't it mean that Mr. Zhongtang is ignorant and has no knowledge?If there is no explanation, isn't it the same as admitting to eating dirty things for Mr. Zhongtang?Whether you say it or not, you will be beaten badly, and then your job will be smashed.The most important thing right now is not to make Li Zhongtang say that it is a dirty thing.When grown-ups speak, they cannot change their words.We must hurry up and think about it, and be the first to say it. Yang Ba's brain turned around quickly, and he came up with an idea!I saw his head hit the ground, knocking loudly, and shouted: "Lord Zhongtang, please calm down! The villain doesn't know that Master Zhongtang doesn't like crushed sesame seeds, and he has offended you. The adults don't remember the mistakes of the villains." , Forgive the villain this time, and I will definitely change my past in the future!" After finishing speaking, there was another bang of the head.

Only then did Li Zhongtang understand that those yellow residues on the tea soup just now were not dirty things, but crushed sesame seeds.After understanding it, I thought, Tianjin Wei Jiuhe Xiashao has a sophisticated human nature and a clever mind in the business field.This tea soup boy was even more astute, he could see at a glance that he had mistaken sesame seeds for dirt, and his few words made him understand and save him face.This kind of cleverness is absolutely absent among the prefectural and county Taoist platforms in front of me, so I fell in love with Yangba, and said: "Those who don't know should be innocent! Although I don't like to eat crushed sesame seeds (he also went down the slope), your tea soup is famous all over Tianjin, so you should be rewarded! Come, I will give you a hundred taels of silver!"

As a result, everyone present was puzzled.I don't like to eat tea soup, but I am rewarded with huge silver, why?Stupid?Yang Ba lay on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, but he understood everything clearly in his heart. Since then, Yangba has become famous in Tianjin.The "Yangjia tea soup" was also renamed "Yangba tea soup" by people.On the contrary, Yang Qi gradually disappeared, and no one knew about it.Yang Ba didn't feel guilty about this, because he became famous because of his good mouth, and Li Zhongtang didn't drink tea soup!
