The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 159 Yuyao Immortal Tea
The cooperation plan proposed by Yuanwai Ning is very simple and rude.
Xie Shen was a little hesitant.

Do you want to accept it?

Giving up [-]% of the profit in exchange for a chance for Yaojiang Tea to soar into the sky?

No matter how you look at it, Xie Shen is not at a loss. After all, the status of Yaojiang tea is at the bottom of Zhejiang tea, and the money he earns is very limited.The main source of income for the Xiejia tea shop is still the sale of Longjing tea.

Although connections are also capital, Ning Yi earns this money too easily!

Xie Shen frowned and fell silent.

Ning Yi didn't urge Shen to thank him, but just watched quietly.

Xie Shen pondered for a long time and finally said loudly: "Mr. Ning's plan can be accepted by Mr. Xie, but Mr. Xie has one condition and I hope Mr. Ning can agree to it."

"Oh?"

Ning Yi said with great interest: "Young Master Xie, why don't you tell me and have a look."

Xie Shen said indifferently: "It's actually very simple. Members of Ning just agree not to cooperate with other tea merchants except Xie. Of course, Xie refers to non-Longjing tea merchants."

What Xie Shen said is very clear. I accept your conditions, but you, Ning Yuanwai, can't look at Qin Muchu. While cooperating with Xie Shen, you flirt with Ningbo tea merchants.You can't take advantage of the good things that are easy on both ends!

Xie Shen's strong response was within Ning Yi's expectation.Ning Yi nodded and said, "The old man promises you!"

So you agree?
This Ning member is quite refreshing.

"Since it's cooperation, Xie still wants to make things clear."

Xie Shen paused for a moment, then said firmly: "Never mind the distance, I will ask Ning Yuan to help Xie Mou during the West Lake Gathering."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. This time, Mr. Xie can rest assured at the West Lake Gathering."

It's so comfortable to talk to smart people. You don't need to make things complicated, just go to the end.

Ning Yuanwai is the chairman of the Hangzhou Tea Chamber of Commerce, so it is naturally impossible for him to talk nonsense, so this matter is considered a deal.

Xie Shen stayed in Ning Mansion and had a light meal with Ning Yuanwai, then he got up and said goodbye and went back to the inn.

After the dust settled, Xie Shen informed Mr. Zhang Bugui about the matter in advance.Zhang Bugui was full of confidence when he had the bottom line in his heart, and he couldn't wait to compete with those scholars from Ningbo Mansion.

But it is said that time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the day of West Lake Gathering.

All the scholars in Yuyao got up early and went to the West Lake together.

Mr. Zhang Bugui also figured it out, he was beaten dumb by those scholars in Ningbo Mansion.At that time, there was no one else present except the people from both sides, even if it was reported to the officials, it was difficult for the county magistrate to judge.

As long as no one is killed in a fight between scholars, the county magistrate is not too good at it.If the county magistrate is bothered by something serious, the county magistrate will really go on strike.

All the Yu Yao scholars came to the Su Causeway, and happened to meet Bi Minghui, Shi Shiran, a great talent from Yanzhou Mansion.

"Master Bi seems determined to win today!"

Wang Shouwen didn't have much affection for Bi Minghui, and Bi Minghui stole a lot of Xie Shen's limelight, which made Wang Shouwen even more angry.

It is said that he is joining forces with Bi Minghui, but how can such a thing as talent be given to others at will?If Bi Minghui was one point higher, Xie Shen would be one point lower. Of course, this is not what Wang Shouwen wants to see.

However, Bi Minghui was noncommittal to Wang Shouwen's words, and said indifferently: "Today is a beautiful day, and it is really beautiful to take a boat to swim on the lake!"

Wang Shouwen almost lost his temper, but he couldn't get angry, so he flicked his sleeves resentfully, keeping some distance from Bi Minghui.

Since ancient times, celebrities have been proud of their talents, and Bi Minghui is no exception.

In Xie Shen's opinion, this Mr. Bi should be a figure like Tang Yin, and it's nothing to be frivolous.

They walked towards the pier together, and when they got closer, they found that the scholars from Hangzhou Mansion and Ningbo Mansion had already boarded the boat first. Xie Shen winked at Zhang Bugui, and Mr. Zhang immediately understood and walked ahead.

Zhang Bugui was the first to be invited to this gathering, so he should be the first one.As for who will show off in the elegant collection, that's another matter.

Du Yu, the representative of the local scholars in Hangzhou Prefecture, got up from the boat and greeted them in a false manner, which was considered a great deal of face to Zhang Bugui and other Yuyao scholars.

Zhang Bugui was still a little surprised, but he didn't say much, he just got on the boat first.

The group of scholars sat down, and Du Yu, the official owner of the gathering, said in a deep voice: "Today, all the sages have arrived, and the young and old are gathering together. Du has set up an gathering and wishes to enjoy the beauty of the West Lake with you."

This Du Yu is a well-known figure in the Hangzhou Fushilin circle, so naturally there are many people who praise him.

Some praises are inevitable, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, the boat slowly left the shore and headed for the center of the lake.

It seems that there is not much difference between the elegant collection and the poetry meeting, but in fact there are essential differences.

Poetry Association emphasizes making friends through poetry, while Yaji pays more attention to elegance.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the poetry meeting was even more tense.

But Yaji is a lot easier, although it is inevitable that some scholars will fight fiercely, but it will not hurt the peace.

But this Yaji is different in many ways.

Once Zhang Bugui was humiliated, he wanted to save face in Yaji.Secondly, Xie Shen also needs to show the demeanor of Yaojiang tea at the Yaji, and completely compare Ningbo tea merchants.

He has already greeted Yuanwai Ning in advance, and he believes that there will be no problems with the Hangzhou scholars.

Although the scholars from various prefectures are all sitting in the painting boat, there are clear boundaries between them.Only Bi Minghui, a great talent from Sui A County, Yanzhou Prefecture, was alone, so he simply sat beside the Yuyao scholars.

There are many singing girls on the boat, and the scholars enjoy dancing and listening to music, isn't it beautiful?

Wang Shouwen applauded while eating snacks.

Xie Shen rolled his eyes at him angrily, and Wang Shouwen realized that he had forgotten his business.

"Ahem, good tea, good tea. Such a good tea is probably only comparable to Qiantang Longjing."

Wang Shouwen cleared his throat and praised loudly.

Xie Shenxin said, brother, your acting skills are too exaggerated. Points will be deducted. This performance is worth deducting.

Fortunately, Xie Shen was prepared to take over immediately and said: "When Xie is upset, he will drink this tea alone. Once the fragrance enters the heart, the dryness will disappear."

"The wind sweeps away the pine eaves, and the light shade is just like picking tea. I invite you to go straight to the top of the lonely peak, and go out of the city to fight for the rain.

Two things are divided into stalks and leaves, and one lamp is reunited with children,

It's late at night after frying the greens, and I'm still trying Xinfen Waterfall Spring. "

After Xie Shen finished reciting a poem, all Yuyao scholars applauded.Many scholars from Hangzhou Prefecture also leaned over to ask the name of the tea.

Xie Shen simply began to popularize science: "The tea Xie drinks is called Yuyao Waterfall Tea, which is produced in Juyushan District, Yuyao. It has a more famous name, Yuyao Xianming. This name is not Xie Feng, but It was ordered by the tea sage Lu Yu. Of course, Xie prefers to call it Yaojiang tea, which is more intimate. This tea was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that it is hidden in the mountains in this dynasty." (Note 1)

Note 1: Juyu Mountain: Siming Mountain in Yuyao today is the origin of Yuyao Xianming.
