Water Margin people

Soon the waiter came up with a bag of good tea.

"One small packet is enough for everyone! Bring a can, one cup for each person!"

Sun Lei was furious when he saw that the waiter only took a small bag of tea, and he slammed the table and shouted.

"Sir, this is the best pre-rain Longjing!"

The waiter said in embarrassment that Longjing tea is not cheap before the rain.

"What do you mean? Do you think I can't afford it? One pack per person!"

Sun Lei glared at the waiter.

The waiter didn't dare to say anything and could only go downstairs to buy it.

In the teahouse, many tea drinkers shook their heads, thinking that this nouveau riche was simply squandering food and that they couldn't even afford the top-quality Rain Longjing tea.

Not long after, the waiter came up again, this time carrying a tea tray with a large blue and white porcelain jar inside, with a label saying "Top Quality Longjing" on it.

"Yeah, it's OK!"

Sun Lei opened the blue and white porcelain jar and smelled it, a fresh fragrance of tea, then he nodded with satisfaction.

“One cup per person!”

Sun Lei waved his hand.

The waiter immediately started to make tea, and the rest of the waiters also served various snacks.

"Oh, and there's food!"

Lu Zhishen was very surprised when he saw the snacks. He picked up the chopsticks and ate a piece of braised meat.

“This meat tastes good!”

Lu Zhishen is indeed a gourmet, he looked very satisfied after eating a piece.

"And these buns! They're so small? I can't even fill my teeth with one!"

Lu Zhishen picked up another bun and said dissatisfiedly that the buns in Liangshan City were bigger than fists, while those in Yangzhou were only as big as eggs.

Sun Lei watched Lu Zhishen eat soup dumplings. He smiled but said nothing, waiting to see the joke. This is not the way to eat soup dumplings.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhishen put the bun into his mouth and took a bite, he grimaced because of the burn, and the boiling soup made Lu Zhishen's face red.

"Look at you, you can't even eat!"

Sun Lei picked up a big spoon, put the soup bag in, then took a small bite and began to drink the soup slowly.

"Why is there so much soup in this bun?"

Lu Zhishen was scalded and immediately glared at the waiter.

"Master, crab roe soup dumplings, of course, come with soup!"

The waiter said with a smile.

“Crab roe soup dumplings, not bad!”

Sun Lei said with satisfaction.

"My lord, you have good taste. This is one of Yangzhou's specialties!"

The waiter smiled and said that he felt very honored to be praised by a rich young man who came from afar. Yangzhou's cuisine is famous all over the world.

"Besides these, what other specialties does Yangzhou have? Or interesting places? I came here just to see them! They say that fireworks are everywhere in Yangzhou in March, don't let me down!"

Sun Lei looked at the waiter and asked.

"Sir, if you want to play, you should go to Yingchun Pavilion! That place is suitable for a sir of your status!"

The waiter said with a smile.

"Yingchun Pavilion? A brothel or a brothel?"

Sun Lei looked at the waiter and asked.

"Neither. It is said to be a brothel. I have never been there, but many dignitaries in the city like to go there!"

The waiter shook his head.

"It's neither a brothel nor a prostitute?"

Sun Lei touched his chin in confusion and began to think.

"I know right away that this isn't a decent place!"

Lu Zhishen said.

"How do you know it's not serious if you don't go?"

Sun Lei smiled and said, the waiter said it was not a brothel, so it should not be doing sex trade on the surface.

After eating and drinking, Sun Lei simply threw down a few silver coins to pay the bill, then asked about the location of Yingchun Pavilion, and left with his men.

Yingchun Pavilion is just outside the city of Yangzhou and is a manor nestled in the mountains and beside the water.

"Is this called Yingchun Pavilion?"

Sun Lei was very interested in the manor in front of him. People in the south of the Yangtze River really know how to have fun. They are much more romantic than those rough guys in the north.

Sun Lei led his men inside, but was stopped at the door. "Princess, this manor is privately owned and not open to the public!"

The guard at the door said politely that he originally wanted to chase the man away, but when he saw the young man in front of him dressed in gold, silver and jewelry, like walking money, he became cautious. People in their line of work cannot afford to offend rich people the most.

"Not open to the public?"

Sun Lei looked at the situation inside through the crack in the door, and he could already hear the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras.

But the door was closed and Sun Lei saw nothing.

"Sir, this is a private residence!"

The security guard stopped in front of Sun Lei and said.

"Noisy!"

Sun Lei said impatiently.

Several guards immediately stepped forward and subdued the man with just a few moves.

"I told you to mind your own business, but you insisted on suffering!"

Sun Lei looked at several security guards who were pinned to the ground. He did not make things difficult for them and led his men directly into the yard.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see pavilions, waterside terraces, rockery gardens, a pure southern garden manor.

A little further away, musicians were playing hard in the pavilions, and young women were dancing gracefully.

“It really looks like a Qingguan!”

Sun Lei said as he looked at everything in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Immediately, a burly security guard came over.

"Come to play!"

Sun Lei said.

"Come here to play? Outsiders are not welcome here!"

When the security guard saw that Sun Lei and the others looked unfamiliar, he immediately drove them away.

"You are such a tactless person, you deserve to be beaten!"

Sun Lei clapped the paper fan in his hand, and the guards stepped forward again and easily knocked the guards to the ground.

The movement here also attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.

A group of people in luxurious clothes came over, and when they saw Sun Lei's nouveau riche appearance, they immediately thought of the person who came into the city today.

"Sir, I am the steward of this manor. I wonder why you broke into the manor?"

A man in his forties with a short beard stepped forward and saluted Sun Lei.

"I heard it's fun here, so I came to see it. Who knew you raised such clueless dogs? How dare you block my way? I've traveled all the way here, who dares to block my way?"

Sun Lei looked at the manager and said with pride, as if it was a matter of course.

Everyone had their own thoughts: this was a lawless dandy boy.

"Sir, this is a private place, not open to the public!"

The steward said politely.

"It's unreasonable to chase away customers when you open a door for business. You Yangzhou people don't even know how to do business?"

Sun Lei took out a stack of gold bills and clapped his hands.

These words made everyone frown, and confirmed that the person in front of them was a merchant from the northwest. The people there walked on the grassland all year round and did business very casually, not at all like them, who were so disciplined.

"Sir, what do you want?"

The manager looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"I think this yard is nice, I'll take it! Let all these outsiders go!"

Sun Lei looked at the manager and said.

"Be bold!"

"Where did this barbarian come from!"

"Don't understand any rules!"

……

Those wealthy nobles were all furious that this upstart wanted to drive them away.

"Sir, you also said that we are open for business, so there is no reason to drive away customers."

The manager didn't know Sun Lei's background and didn't dare to offend him.

"Sir, how about this? There is a separate yard in the courtyard, let's give it to you!"

The manager looked at Sun Lei and said that he would first stabilize this upstart, then find out the situation and make countermeasures. (End of this chapter)
