The meeting that decided to strike the market was held in the Huizhou Guild Hall at Chaiduo Bridge; Zhou Qi, Wu Tea and Pan Sauce Garden, and almost all Huizhou businesses in Hangzhou city were present. As the owner of Wangyou Tea House, Hang Tianzui, the youngest businessman in the tea industry in Hangzhou, attended the meeting and made a generous speech at the meeting: "Wu Chaqing is not Wu Chaqing of Wangyou Tea House. It is Wu Chaqing from Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. It is not from Huizhou, but from Han people and Chinese. For hundreds of years, there has been no equality between ethnic groups, only slavery and oppression, and they are all like eagles in the clouds. A group of villains ran rampant in the village, ruined the imperial court, and even failed to restore the country, shaking the foundation of the country. They are trying to beat up the arrogance of these people who have ruined the country and the people, and hope for a little peace in this era of war and chaos. Scholars study, businessmen do business, everyone can feel at ease, and from now on The local hooligans don’t dare to act rashly anymore, this is the purpose of our strike.” After hearing this, everyone was refreshed, and they all said that he was a great talent who came out of a university.Lin Ouchu felt proud when he heard this. His son did not dare to rescue Chaqing who was locked in the yamen like his "father" who couldn't lift the noodles that Adou couldn't afford. The most consoling thing.She even secretly thought that this was the hidden blood relationship showing up in the dark.

Discussing this matter with Shen Luai's father, Shen Fuying, did not take any effort at all. He appreciated his son-in-law's move very much, and said, "I'm going back to Shanghai tomorrow. I have something to say hello to. Beijing Sun Yejing, I Sun Baoyi and his son have some contacts. Sun Yejing is also from Hangzhou, and he served as a tutor to Emperor Xianfeng, you should know that." Shen Lv'ai's older brother, Shen Lvcun, had just returned from France. He was already a member of the Secret Society, the Xingzhong Society, and was under Sun Yat-sen's command.Mr. Zhongshan contacted the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortia through these people to raise funds for the revolution.He was a big tall man who was blown by the westerly wind, and at a young age, he still held a civilized stick in his hand. He tended to shrug his shoulders and curl his mouth, and spread his hands, showing a sense of superiority.He gave Hang Tianzui an idea: "Brother Tianzui, I am about to go to Beijing to meet Sun Baochuan. The imperial court has just appointed him as the imperial envoy to France. I will go to meet him. You can write a letter of appeal and I will bring it to you." Go, I'm not afraid that this small Hangzhou government will not listen."

"I just hate this vulture in the cloud, such local ruffians, who can stir up such a big disaster, it's good that the guest is here, why do I need to come forward?" Hang Tianzui said bitterly. "You mean that Zhao Zhike who went to Japan from the east, he is quite famous, and I heard about it in France. Why, you also have contacts with him?" Shen Lvcun was a little concerned. "I only sip tea and listen to books with him, but I have never done anything like that." Hang Tianzui said. "Didn't you rush to kill?" Shen Lucun patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "This matter has been successfully done, and your appearance in the business circle of Hangzhou will be a big hit."

Shen Fuying also nodded approvingly.The encouragement from the Shen family's father and son gave Hang Tianzui a bit of confidence. He thought, after all, he is still a six-foot man with the qualities of a hero, so he also covered up the frustrations of failure at night. The citizens of Hangzhou, upon waking up, suddenly felt a little shocked.In the area of ​​Yanqiao, Qinghefang, Yangbatou, Dafangbo, and Houchaomen, it was time to remove the door panels, but the shops of each house were quietly sealed. 11 People gathered in the streets and alleys. The tourists from the mountains and the tourists from the mountains crowded together anxiously and excitedly, waiting for the early end of the strike.Wu Chaqing was nothing but a blockbuster, and although he was locked in the yamen, he became a man of the hour in Hangzhou.

Initiated by the Huizhou Guild Hall and the Chaqi Guild Hall, the strike action of various small, medium and small businesses in Hangzhou was so powerful that it shocked the capital.Twenty years later, Sun Baochuan, a native of Hangzhou who served as the Prime Minister of the State, specially sent someone to inquire about this matter before going to France.It's also due to the fact that the eagle in the cloud is exhausted, it turns out that the fire prevention stall run by his brother is also a fat vacancy in the yamen, and someone has long asked for trouble to pry him off and put him on top.This time, taking advantage of his younger brother's troubles, he happened to make a fuss.It turned out that Wu Chaqing's arrest was not through any formal means, but because Diao Qing went home and cried with his brother, and his brother opened the back door again, and was interrogated without the approval of his superiors.Although it is common for such careless management of human life, but this time it is the Hang family who offended the business community, and things are troublesome.Just two years after the Boxer Rebellion incident, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. I really dare not make another disturbance.As a result of the contest, the Yun Zhongdiao brothers were expelled from the yamen, and Wu Chaqing was released without charge.

Hang Tianzui has experienced many turning points in his political destiny since then, this time is the most relaxing and least painful.Regardless of whether he wants this world or not, anyway, this world must hold him back.He has become a rising star in the tea world so inexplicably.Citizens flocked to Wangyou Tea House one after another, which boosted the business of the tea house.The predecessors in the tea industry commented to each other: "The revitalization of Wangyou Tea House is achieved by making tea." In the Chaqi Guild Hall, several banquets were set up in the Zhuangyuan Building. One was to celebrate Hang Tianzui's victory, and the other was to welcome Wu Chaqing.

That day was very lively, not to mention the dignitaries of the tea industry, even a well-known doctor like Zhao Qihuang, who didn't show much, also arrived.The female relatives set up another table, mother-in-law Lin Ouchu and daughter-in-law Shen Lv'ai sat opposite each other. The chairman made a toast and said: "This time the strike is successful, it will greatly increase the ambition of our tea and lacquer industry, and destroy the prestige of the local hooligans such as Yunzhongdiao. These people live on their ancestors' meals, eat, drink, whore and gamble, why don't they do anything?" We should have found an excuse to scare him long ago. Daoist Uncle Chaqing does not show his face, but his skill opened our eyes. It turns out that there is still a hero, Huang Zhong, hidden in the pile of tea leaves!"

Wu Cha bowed lightly and said, "It's not enough, it's not enough." Zhao Qihuang raised a glass of wine to respect Hang Tianzui, and said: "This matter was originally related to my unfilial son, but now he went to Dongyang, patted his ass and threw Yun Zhongdiao to you. I thought you were a A person who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and it is the day of the big wedding. I did not expect that the Hang family has a leader at this time, causing such a big storm. Who comes to see a doctor who doesn't know Wangyou tea? How powerful is Zhuang? Who doesn’t know that the young one is called Hang Tianzui, and the old one is called Wu Chaqing? One article and one military, supporting the tea house, Mrs. Hang has hope in this life—heroes have come out of youth since ancient times!”

After finishing speaking, he clinked glasses with Hang Tianzui and drank it down in one gulp. Hang Tianzui was originally a man who couldn't drink, and after a few drinks, he felt that the wine was hot.He has never been in the business field since he was a child, and he won a lot of applause as soon as he made his debut this time. He was so ambitious that he couldn't help hesitating.What's more, he is kind by nature, so gullible, prone to act recklessly, prone to making earth-shattering remarks, and prone to doing unconventional things. If others have not seen him when he is depressed and discouraged, but only see his arrogance when he is high-spirited, he really thinks This young man should not be underestimated, and he does not know what kind of future he has in the future.

In the Hangzhou dialect, it is said that people are hot-headed, and it is called "the fog of things goes away".Right now, Hang Tianzui is "going away in a fog".As soon as his forehead lit up, an idea popped out, and before he had time to think about it, all of them trickled out. "Everyone, it is a great honor to be praised and flattered by late-born Tianzui. Tianzui's father passed away early, and he liked to study since he was a child, and he didn't like business. The business of the tea house depends on his mother's support, and secondly, on the management of Cha Qingbo. With the help of all my colleagues in Sanlai, we have achieved today's situation. This time the villains harassed black and white, frantic, arrested the pillar of my family, and made Mr. Cha Qing Bo Baifa suffer for me. Midnight, I feel ashamed to ask questions. I humiliate my ancestors, I often cry like rain, and I can’t sleep several times. My mother urged me again and again, Wang Zi’s eyes watered, and my unfilial son came to his senses today. He will take up the post tomorrow and take over all the affairs of the tea house. To comfort the spirit of my father in heaven."

After hearing his half-literal speech of confession, self-blame and bold words, the crowd applauded loudly and applauded, catching Lin Ouchu, the proprietress, by surprise.She looked at each other and saw that the new daughter-in-law Shen Lu was in high spirits, her cheeks were flushed, and her black eyes were staring straight at her husband with an expression of admiration.Looking at Wu Chaqing on the opposite table, his face was calm, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Mrs. Hang was in a mess, but she still pretended to be grateful on the surface, and paid back the wine glasses that were frequently toasted to her.She really didn't expect her son to do this. In fact, she has always hoped to listen to politics behind the curtain like the Queen Mother.She hoped that she and Cha Qing would make decisions on matters big and small.The son puts up an airs, slowly doing some trivial things, and then ventures outside. He will be a tourist in the water and a guest in the mountains.At that time, I, Lin Ouchu, and him, Wu Chaqing, were truly old and able to enjoy life in peace. I didn't expect Tianzui to talk to himself in front of everyone, and he said it so touchingly, as if he inherited this family business and wanted to cut off so many relationships in the world, it's really unreasonable!Does this foolish boy have such ability?Lin Ouchu stared at his daughter-in-law with suddenly enlightened eyes, but the daughter-in-law smiled at her mother-in-law, took a piece of drunken chicken herself, and presented it in front of her mother-in-law. For this bride, the mother-in-law hadn't been in contact with her for a few days, and she was shocked to learn about it.It has been three days since the bride went through the door, and she still hasn't shown the bloody white thread handkerchief that symbolizes purity. She inquired about it around the corner, and without asking a word, the bride said straightforwardly: "Mom, why did you ask?" Me? You should ask him!" Lin Ou was displeased at the beginning, and he was not easy to get angry. He said, "My son has never been a man. It's the first time you do it. You have to obey him." Shen Luai looked at her mother-in-law frankly: "Mom, I am also a woman for the first time." Lin Ou was really stunned when he heard it for the first time. The bride even broke the custom of going back to her natal home after three days.Because her husband and son-in-law couldn't accompany her back to Huzhou, they wanted to discuss a strike in Hangzhou to rescue Chaqing. She agreed, saying, "It doesn't matter if I go back to my mother's house or not, it's always about my family's affairs." Lin Ouchu was satisfied and dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's change of position to her husband's family so quickly. He was also thinking about Wu Chaqing who was locked in the yamen, and his mind was confused for a while.Sitting in a sedan chair, passed the joints, and went to see Chaqing who was locked in the yamen.Chaqing didn't suffer too much, the jailer had already been dealt with.When asked about family affairs, Lin Ouchu sighed, tears fell first, and said, "I'm afraid the Hang family will end again!" Wu Chaqing immediately understood everything. At this moment, the new daughter-in-law made her appearance in front of everyone.All the men wished to put their eyes on Shen Lu'ai, the mother-in-law's prestige was taken away by her nine out of ten.The mother-in-law is lost and sad, but she pretends to be happy, but her internal organs are hurt.There is a well in the mother-in-law's belly, where fifteen buckets go up and down. Here, Lin Ouchu was heartbroken over his son's seizure of power. Over there, Wu Chaqing stood up, and everyone toasted and said, "Old hero, what's the old hero's opinion?" Wu Chaqing rolled up his sleeves to reveal two cuffs of his pure white underwear. He bowed lightly before speaking: "Everyone, I am Wu Chaqing, a wanderer. Thanks to the knowledge of the old master of the Hang family, I have been running the tea house for thirty years. I finally hope that there will be successors in the tea house. The tea lover can leave with peace of mind." After hearing this, everyone said, Uncle Cha Qing, what's the matter with you?Wangyou Tea House has been around for decades, and it’s not only when the owner surnamed Hang and the shopkeeper surnamed Wu became prosperous.Could it be that Master Hang is about to change his mind as soon as he goes into battle? When Hang Tianzui heard it, he also said: "Chaqing is afraid that you will leave, so don't talk about it. Without you, what's the point of being my boss? I don't want to be my boss anymore." Cha Qing said: "It is precisely because I want to stop you from relying on me that I made this decision. I am already old, how many years can I last? Your mother has also endured hardships, and being a woman is as tiring as hers." How many more? Now that you are married and have such a start, I will withdraw quickly while you are gaining momentum, and you will take the lead. In the future, we will spit it out in one breath, and you also have the capital to live and work in this troubled world. " As long as Wu Chaqing didn't sing, it was a blockbuster, and the women at the next table began to wipe their tears. Lin Ouchu's lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word. Everyone wanted to boo again, but Wu Chaqing said, "It's not a matter of a clean break. I just want to come out and open a tea shop in Houchaomen. If you believe me, Chaqing will sell shares and wait to collect money." That's right. The name of the tea shop, of course, will follow whoever sells the most shares." "Then my family is going to recognize the big stock." Hang Tianzui immediately said, "We have recognized the big stock, Uncle Cha Qing and I are still ants on the same rope, and I have to rely on Uncle Cha Qing anyway. " Lin Ouchu was relieved by Hang Tianzui's statement.Seeing that Chaqing was the leader, the several tea houses on the side knew that it was reliable and profitable, so they also subscribed the shares on the spot. Such a major event was settled at the dinner table. At this time, everyone was full of wine and food, and was about to withdraw from the table. Hang Tianzui suddenly said: "Seniors, I have another plan. I don't want you to contribute money, just ask for support." It turned out that Hang Tianzui was planning to use the Wangyou Teahouse... When Lin Ou first saw that her son was uncharacteristically today, he had thousands of ideas, and none of them had been discussed with her, so she was naturally anxious, but she is a woman, and it is very rewarding for her to come out to socialize and eat, so she has the right to drink three times .Reluctantly, he smiled and said, "When Jiu Zhai was alive, he often talked about this matter. He was a very lively person who liked Lingshi. He kept water in the day and water in the night. He wanted to take back the teahouse and meet friends. Listening to the big book is also convenient, but I stopped it. Now that the teahouse has been withdrawn, it is only Wu Sheng who guards the gate, and I have no idea what to do with it. As the saying goes, people who open teahouses eat oil and fried rice." The daughter-in-law asked, "Mom, what do you mean fried rice with oil?" "How do you know the hardships of this business? You have to be good at everything. Nowadays, there are probably two kinds of people who open teahouses, powerful and powerful, or local hooligans. How can serious businessmen and literati dare Opening a teahouse casually? The risk is high, there are many disputes, and you have to endure pain. If there is a breakdown while drinking tea and the tables and chairs are turned upside down, where do you go?" Hang Tianzui said: "I really want to eat this bowl of oil fried rice. I can't get involved in other things for a while. The only thing I am familiar with is the teahouse. If you want to discuss something, you can go to it." Teahouses, after all, after all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!" Zhao Qihuang had already wiped his mouth and was about to leave. At this time, he relied on the old man to sell the old man, and said to Lin Ouchu: "Sister and sister, Tianzui is interested in this matter, just ask him to do it, it's better than he can't do it for a while. .Besides, such a commotion this time has caused a commotion. There are so many scumbags in the city of Hangzhou, and they have to give up three points in their work.It doesn't matter if the troublemaker in my family isn't here, but the three elder brothers above him are as measured as Uncle Cha Qing.If you really need to deal with a few hooligans, just find them.You and your family will go back and have a long-term plan. I can’t generate capital to open a tea shop in Chaqing here, and it’s useless to invest in shares. One day in the future, I will need someone from Zhao to speak a few words of justice, just order.Chaqing, do you believe it? " Wu Chaqing smiled and said: "So I wanted to hide out alone to seek peace and quiet. It seems that it is really necessary to be quiet and hide in the city. I can't do it. It's better to be respectful than to follow orders." He scanned the room, stopped at the corner of the door, and said, "Wu Sheng, I only asked Boss Tianzui for you to go, do you agree?" All the rich people in the room cast their eyes on this young man.Because Wu Sheng was paid so much attention, he was almost dizzy and Sheng Ri was tongue-tied.Tianzui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you go naturally." Wu Sheng smiled wittily, his big black and white eyes stared blankly, like a simple countryman who has picked up an ingot. The new daughter-in-law, Shen Lv'ai, has never been as shaken as she was that night.She is a wild flower, with the strange smell conveyed by the sun and the wind, she needs rain and dew as if she has been tempted and teased.She is also a person who has stayed in a big place, has read poetry and books, and is not ashamed of the love between men and women.In the beginning, she had a bad impression of her husband, thinking that he was too sissy, and he was worth a lot of money all day long. When she really wanted to be gentle and considerate, a good night was worth a thousand dollars, but he was like silver.Her performance today made her happy. It turns out that her husband is still a hero.After drinking the wine, the look of high spirits is very exciting.Shen Lu loves a beautiful Jiangnan daughter, with a tenderness like water, and never thought of taking the initiative to bother her.Today, he became shy and emotional.At night, before her husband returned to the room, she greeted her mother-in-law early, thinking about the arrangements for the night, and lowered her head first.The mother-in-law was annoyed, and seeing her daughter-in-law bowed her head to leave, she asked, "Where is Tianzui?" "I went to see the big water tank together." "Why do you need a big water tank? There is a good well, and I have never seen anyone open a teahouse and definitely not let the well water be used." "I don't understand this either. I read the "Tea Classic" yesterday, but Lu Yu said that the mountains and rivers are the top, the river is the middle, and the well water is the bottom." The daughter-in-law is more educated than her mother-in-law, and she can use the words of the ancients to suppress her mother-in-law, which also makes Lin Ouchu very angry.When people get angry, they will be sharp, and they will not care about so many faces, so they ask: "What are you doing just reading those books? If you are thinking, you should think about your own affairs." Shen Lu'ai didn't follow her mother-in-law's tricks, and said, "Mom, I've been married for more than two months, and I'm about to listen to my mother's advice. What's the matter with Tianzui? I know, like you and me, I'm considerate and don't blame him; those who don't know, squint their eyes inside and out, thinking it's my fault!" After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Lin Ouchu was speechless. He sighed and said, "You young couples understand this kind of thing best. Why do you ask me, a widowed mother-in-law? If you want to talk Seeking medicine for medicine, how have you stopped in the past two months! Sigh, I won't force you, the single pass of the Hang family for several generations, Lu Ai, I can only rely on you." Shen Lu'ai heard this, and couldn't help crying. She had already put aside her secret dissatisfaction with her mother-in-law, nodded silently, and walked into the door. In front of the dressing table, red candles were shining brightly, and she took off the flowery headdress one by one, and finally took off all the hair clips, and put on a head of black hair, which was as long as her waist.She took off her coat one by one, and there was a charcoal basin in the room, but it was still warm. She was wearing a close-fitting jacket, so she was going to get into bed immediately.But Lu Ai couldn't bear to part with her pretty body in the mirror. She took off only a pair of pajama pants and a tube top, revealing the upper half of her white and translucent shoulders and arms. Her long black hair poured down like a waterfall, rolling over her. The jade mountain-like breasts hung down, rubbed against the belly, tickled, and fell down again, the hair ends hung between the legs.A slight ripple came up gently. Lu Ai stares at herself in the mirror——she doesn't understand, isn't she beautiful?No woman's allure?The night is dark, and so is the world in the mirror.Lu Ai stared and watched, fascinated by herself, she lightly pawed hard, the tube top was pulled off, two breasts, like little rabbits running around, peeled out, the red beans in the mirror , They complement each other with the red candle.After all, it was winter, and goose bumps immediately popped up on the suet.Lu Ai used her palms to caress the warmth, her fingers touched the waves, and the waves began to tremble in clusters, she closed her eyes involuntarily, the world in the mirror receded far away, and the people inside were also gone. Small, squashed by the gaze.She heard a suffocating sound from her throat, and she was so uncomfortable that she didn't feel cold anymore.Then she felt that she had struggled through the pain.She relaxed her eyes, and the world in the mirror was close to her again. The mirror reflected her loose figure, as if coldly reflecting a muddy beach after a high tide. There was the sound of the door opening behind her, and she subconsciously put her arms around her chest, and pulled a coat over her body. Hang Tian entered the door drunk, and was shocked to find his strange wife. His wife's eyes were blurred, her small mouth was half-opened, gasping for air, stretching and shrinking towards him, her red tongue was half-sticking out, as if she was on the verge of death, or like a translucent fat silkworm about to spin silk .She walked towards him with disheveled hair, the darkness behind her was scary and erotic.His wife slowly walked up to him as if possessed by a demon, panting as if she wanted to kill him.His wife's black hair and dark eyes reminded him of the mountain ghost in "The Songs of Chu".Suddenly, his wife let go of her hand and lifted her arms vigorously, a flash of white light, and he saw lush black bushes under his wife's armpits, and then, two hills piled up in front of his eyes.On the top of the mountain, there are impatient red cherries trembling sharply.Hang Tianzui flicked it vigorously, and the person stiffened, his eyes were straightened, and he froze there.But his wife became more and more anxious, and the hot breath she breathed was directed at his face, and the light radiating from her dazzling body seemed to burn him on the spot.With his upper body covered, he retreated step by step until he reached the door wall, with nowhere to retreat.His wife's hands seemed to be holding heavy melons and fruits, forcing them to his eyes. Hang Tianzui's whole body felt like needles pricking him. He felt that he had been turned into a volcano with no eruption point by the deadly lust in front of him.The two of them are like two half-dead fish who are in love with each other, dying of being burned by this obstacle-ridden lust.Finally, Hang Tianzui grabbed the white light in front of him and pinched his fingernails in with all his strength. Shen Luai let out a shriek and suppressed scream, not knowing whether it was pain or comfort.And Hang Tianzui was also struggling, and a dying voice was squeezed out of his throat.As soon as his hands were loosened, they slid down from the woman's belly, and his body became limp as mud. As soon as his knees softened, he knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and buried his face under the woman's body.In a daze, he didn't see the two lines of cold tears streaming down the woman's face, but only heard the woman's slightly tired and calm voice: "Let's go to bed." Before dawn, the restless couple made another desperate love struggle.When Hang Tianzui entered Menglong from his lethargy, he felt that he was bound by a soft thing, and he could feel the heat on his face.With a smooth touch, he touched something smooth and firm. This thing was exciting and woke him up from his sleep.At the same time, his lower body became hot and was clamped by another thing.Startled, he stretched his legs and woke up.Open your eyes, it's pitch black.He suddenly understood what was going on, he was hit by the body of the woman beside him, he turned over and threw himself on the virgin land, the woman trembled violently under her body, as if a volcano was about to erupt, her breathing was rapid, and then The sound was unstoppable, echoing in the night.The woman bowed her head and searched for Hang Tianzui's mouth back and forth in the dark. The woman panted and said, "Give it to me." Hang Tianzui didn't know what a woman wanted, and all the common sense about sex came flooding in, making him unable to do anything.When he was about to freeze on the woman's body, his eyes were shining brightly, he stretched his upper body, let out a cry, and fell sideways on the side of the pillow.The woman took advantage of the situation and rolled onto him. They didn't have time and didn't know what to do next, but when the woman pressed against Hang Tianzui against the rules, Hang Tianzui convulsed, and he failed. The woman seemed completely devastated by this failure.She stayed there for a while, then rolled over, turned sideways, with her back to her husband, and remained motionless.Hang Tianzui woke up completely, and thought embarrassingly, what happened, could it be that I really don't look like a man anymore!Thinking about it this way, he half-lyed down and faced the ceiling, and started to feel the fruit. He found that he was missing his friend Zhao Jike again.As long as he is there, nothing can be difficult for him.He looked at the dark and protruding flesh beside him, and suddenly thought, if I have the courage to send her away, I will definitely punish her severely, so that she will not dare to be arrogant again.Now, when he thinks of the woman's half-naked aggressive posture, he is really humiliated and helpless.He reached out and groped in the darkness, but found nothing, only the emptiness and solitude of his hands.He was flustered, stretched out on the bedside table, and touched the Mansheng pot, "The inside is clear and the outside is straight, and I will store it with you." He took it and held it in his hand, and the purple clay pot was slowly absorbed. The heat warmed up, and his cold and desperate heart gradually felt better. With Cha Qing stepping out of Wangyou Tea House, Lin Ouchu couldn't help but feel relieved. The tea industry stipulates that women are not allowed to go to the front shop, so the proprietress has to take the new daughter-in-law to the back court.The task in the backcourt, the purchase and evaluation of tea, has been taken out by Chaqing, and the rest, one is to re-blend, and the other is to store. It is not a simple job to say that it is a re-match.Although Longjing tea is high-grade and raw tea is of good quality, re-refining and selling still requires operations such as re-fire, sieving, winnowing, and sorting. The new daughter-in-law, Shen Luai, is full of novelty and interest in this process.The spring tea acquisition has not yet started, and she has already learned a lot about many craft procedures.Her mother-in-law took her to see the many piled up sieves in the warehouse. Her mother-in-law turned the sieve one after another like grinding ink on a plane, and put a handful of Maocha on it.The maocha rotates flat on the sieve, and some of it falls down.The mother-in-law asked her what was left behind and what was left behind. Shen Lv'ai looked at it carefully and said, "The long ones are left behind, and the short ones are left behind." The mother-in-law changed the sieve again, shaking it up and down, and asked her what was kept and what was left behind. Shen Lvai said: "Keep the thick ones, and leave the thin ones behind." The mother-in-law said: "Remember, after screening, the tea leaves on the top are called self-tea, the small ones on the bottom are called lower body tea, and the thick tea leaves that do not meet the specifications are called round body tea. These three kinds of tea should be divided into three parts. The species are refined separately and then re-blended." "It's so complicated." The daughter-in-law exclaimed. "Where is the bowl of tea so delicious?" The mother-in-law warned her daughter-in-law, "When I brought it from Sanjia Village, my father-in-law said that I can't remember the name of the tea industry. Think about it, you will never remember tea in your life." What about the name, so much to do!" After washing up at night, sitting on the chair, the bride Shen Luai, no longer interested in making that futile effort with her husband, transferred all the passion to tea. While looking at the woodcut books about tea making left by the predecessors, she asked her busy husband, "Tianzui, why did we put the Longjing in our family in the old bamboo and wooden utensils first after buying it?" Hang Tianzui piled up a large pile of stone bricks in the courtyard. He was inspecting them carefully, and he was scrubbing them with soap imported from Japan with a brush. He said, "What kind of question is this? Hsinchu Woodware Time After a long time, it will become old, where can I buy new tea storage every year." "No," Shen Lvai criticized him, "Look, your ancestors said here that tea is easy to stain, and Hsinchu wooden utensils have a peculiar smell, so you must use old utensils, don't you even know this?" Hang Tianzui took out two wet hands from the tub and looked angrily at his aggressive daughter-in-law, but he didn't dare to reprimand her publicly.She was on the bed, and she had already defeated him without a fight with absolute advantage.Every moment he seemed to hear her say, "You still owe me." But he was unwilling to be robbed like this, so he stretched out both hands and said to the woman: "I didn't see that I was busy, roll up my cuffs." The woman stood up from the wicker chair, threw the book on the table, and quickly rolled up the sleeves for her husband, as if she was busy with her son, and complained: "What are you doing, digging so many stove bricks, what are you doing today? Mama Yang, who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, said that you almost dug up the stove, and you don’t know what you have become obsessed with." "What do you all know, women!" Hang Tianzui fought back when he heard someone attacking his treasure, "This stove brick has been refined in the fire for decades, and it has long been refined. It is called Fulong in the book Liver. It is in the water, and flies and mosquitoes dare not go there again. The teahouse opened, and the water from the Longjing was obtained through hard work, and I am relying on this dragon liver to bless me!" Shen Lvai curled her lips, yawned, went back to the house and lit the candles, and said: "I don't think you can reach the sky in one step. You don't know how to make tea, so you rush to sell tea to show your style. It's still affordable and clean." Let me learn from you, lay a solid foundation first, and then go to do those fake things." Hang Tianzui threw the brush angrily, and ordered his servants to clean up those Fulong livers, then turned around and said to his wife: "You are going to spend the rest of your life with me, Hang Tianzui, just remember, I He came from the University of Seeking Truth, not a businessman full of money. A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. In my way, temperament is the most important thing, and the first thing is to do what I like in my heart, unlike your father Doing silk business like that, the first is for money Shen Lu'ai had already put the quilt on the bed. Hearing this, she was very unhappy, and said, "Why are you dragging my father into this? My father earns a lot of money, and he is a decent man. Is there still less money to go?" Hang Tianzui thought for a second that this was true.Like him, Shen Fuying sympathized with the revolution.It's just that Hang Tianzui yelled, but Shen Fuying knew how to pay out, which was better than him.Then he said: "Okay, just now I said too much and I will make a mistake. I will apologize to you. It's just that you laughed at my Fulong liver. You really shouldn't. You haven't seen what Zhang Dafu said in "Plum Blossom Cottage Notes": tea Sex must come out of water, eighth of tea, when it meets tenth of water, the tea is also ten percent; eighth of water, try tenth of tea, the tea is only eight cents of an ear." Seeing her nerdy husband shaking his head and dropping his book bag again, Shen Lvai said with a wry smile: "It's not good to have tea without water, but what to say if there is water but no tea? The owner of a tea house is always tea." Be ahead." Hang Tianzui said: "In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no tea or water. Like a guest, there is nothing outside the body, and the heart is very full. If you have sustenance, you are a real person. I got a painting today, which means that there is sustenance in the water. , let me open your eyes." With that said, Hang Tianzui wiped his hands, carefully took out a scroll painting from the bookcase, and gently unfolded it. The two-foot-long and one-foot-wide paper was actually a painting of Xiang Shengmo's Qinquan. This Xiang Shengmo was born in the Ming Dynasty between 1597 and 1658. He was good at painting landscapes, figures, and flowers with bright colors and a light style.This picture of the Qinquan Spring is no wonder what Hang Tianzui had in mind. The bottom left of the original picture is a few water tanks, cans, and a Hengqin, and the top right is a poem.Hang Tianzui shook his head and said to his wife: "This poem is really wonderful, will you listen to it after I read it?" Shen Luai turned over and fell asleep on the bed, but she thought in her heart: I want to hide my timidity, so I spend time with these elegant things, pretending that I don't know your courage! Hang Tianzui doesn't care, you like to listen to it or not, I prefer to read it.Then he prolonged his voice, and chanted one after another like the old gentleman in the private school taught: I will learn from Boyi, but I will not be so honest; If you learn from Liu Xiahui, there will be no such peace; If you will learn from Lu Zhonglian, you will not be so high; There is no such humor in learning from Dongfang Shuo; If you will learn from Tao Yuanming, you will not be so carefree; If you will learn from Li Taibai, you will not be so bold; If you will learn from Du Zimei, you will not have such sorrow; If you will learn from Lu Hongyi, you will not have such a chance; If you will learn Mi Yuanzhang, you will not have such madness; If you will learn from Su Zizhan, you will not have such a romantic style; Thinking about these ten philosophers, none of them can do anything, Or Lu Hongjian, with his husband Zhong Ziqi; Laughing at the piano without strings, store the spring before tea; The spring may cleanse my heart, the harp is not the sound I know; Write this picture of Qinquan for self-entertainment. After reading a long poem, as if discovering a new world, I said impatiently: "Hey, now I'm acting according to the rules. You see, the predecessors have spoken first - store the spring before tea, that is, if there is no Before tea, you need to store up the spring water. Wonderful, wonderful, how come you look exactly like me! Hey, you are speechless? ... Asleep?" Hang Tianzui sighed, "It's really playing the piano with a cow !" Shen Lvai jumped up half her body from the bed with a "swell": "Let's be clear, who is the bull?" "Not asleep." Hang Tianzui smiled. Go back and try to figure out the scroll.I thought to myself, the teahouse will open tomorrow, and I will hang this picture in the upstairs lounge.
