Chapter 85 I'm so weak (1)
Su Huan said, "We'll just sit at that table, you can lead us there."

The man enthusiastically led them there.Su Huan couldn't help but asked curiously, "Your place is rich in tea?"

The man laughed and said, "We are in the north, so we can't produce a lot of tea. I heard from the old people that the weather here is cold, and the water and soil are not as warm as the south, which is not suitable for the growth of tea trees. The real tea production is in the south, especially in the southeast." .”

Su Huan became even more curious, "Then what game do you use?"

The clerk said, "Miss doesn't know, Liucheng is located in a good location, and most of the merchants from the north and the south pass through here, so although our Liucheng has no special products, it is also very lively. If you don't believe me, go out and have a look, a restaurant every five steps, and an inn every ten steps. It’s all money from businessmen and rivers and lakes. So, in our tea competition conference, businessmen from south to north are competing. The businessmen from the south bring good tea, and the businessmen from the north buy it back after seeing it. Well, we will also sign some orders for long-term supply."

Su Huan smiled and boasted, "Brother, you really know a lot."

The guy was so pleased with the pretty girl's compliment, he smiled and said, "We in Liucheng are very hospitable. Today we held a tea competition with Fulou, and each table will be given a pot of hot tea. You two are waiting, I will pour the tea." .”

Su Huan smiled and said, "Hey, thank you."

Huo An smiled slightly and looked at Su Huan.His Miss Su is a master of coaxing people with honey.

Su Huan happily sat next to him, his eyes glowing, "Huo An, let's take a look?"

Huo An nodded with a smile.There's no reason for the excitement to be let go by Miss Su Chang.Besides, he was also a little interested after listening to the guy's introduction, the world outside is really quite big, with all kinds of customs and customs, it is really colorful.

The clerk brought tea and a small plate of fried peanuts.Su Huan ordered three dishes and one soup, and ate peanuts with a smile to watch the excitement.

It was getting dark.

The lights were turned on in the restaurant.Hexagonal red lanterns with big white candles inside hung on the beams under the eaves, illuminating the restaurant brightly.

Eight red silk strips hang down from all sides, from the second floor to the bottom floor.Su Huan watched it with relish, and read word by word, "The Taiping monkey takes the crown, and the Junshan silver needle overwhelms the crowd..."

She turned her head and said to Huo An with a smile, "I know Taiping Houkui. Houkui has two pointed ends, neither loose nor curled up."

Huo An dipped his finger in the tea and wrote: "Do you drink tea?"

Su Huan shook his head, "My father likes tea, and so does my elder brother. Hou Kui has two pointed ends, neither loose nor curled, which was taught to me by my elder brother. He said this tea suits his taste best, but I I think Guzhu purple bamboo shoots are better, each one is like a bamboo shoot shell, very interesting and tastes good, it smells better than Taiping Houkui, and the aftertaste is sweeter when you drink it."

Huo An smiled generously, Miss Su Huan can also drink tea.

Su Huan shuddered for a moment, then looked around to watch the excitement, and didn't notice a young man in a white robe at the next table. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked at her and Huo An.

There were more and more people, and gradually, the tables around the round table were also full of people. From the appearance, most of them were people who traveled from place to place, with different clothes and different accents.Some of the private seats on the second floor have wooden bead curtains hanging down, presumably some dignitaries came to watch the excitement, or there may be female relatives.

One after another, someone moved four long tables of black lacquered wood with short feet, surrounded them into a shape of a character, placed several small stoves with burning coals, and put on several sets of tea sets of various shapes, including blue and white porcelain ones, and purple sand pots. There are black bamboo wood ones and red clay ones, very beautiful.

The food was already served, Su Huan turned his head to look while eating.That guy was right, this small table is on the sidelines, and it takes a bit of effort to sit in the stands.Huo An put a piece of ribs into her bowl, patted her on the head, and signaled her to concentrate on eating.Su Huan bit his ribs and muttered, "It's about to start."

Just as he was talking, the silk music suddenly sounded, and the restaurant suddenly fell silent.Su Huan turned his head to look, and saw two rows of young girls in emerald green dresses, with green flower and white turbans on their heads, and each carrying a green bamboo basket. The shape of a fan in full bloom.

Su Huan hurriedly poked Huo An who was concentrating on eating, "Huo An, there is a beautiful woman."

Huo An looked up, then lowered his head to drink the soup, not as beautiful as his Su Huan girl.

The girls danced lightly.

Su Huan snorted, and said in a low voice, "Huo An, why don't you watch it? You can see that people are drooling. My elder brother said that there is no man who doesn't like to look at beautiful women. Could it be that you..."

Huo An raised his head and cut off the second half of Miss Su's "You are not a man" with his eyes.Am I a man, who else knows better than you Su Huan girl?

Su Huan grinned, "I'm just kidding you." Then he turned to watch the beautiful woman dance.

At the end of the dance, the tea girls, carrying tea baskets, retreated into two rows with smiles on their faces, and stood on both sides of the round platform.

A middle-aged man wearing a long gown with ingots and yellow breasts came up to the round platform. He was slightly fat and had a beard under his chin. He cupped his hands joyfully, "Brothers who have traveled from south to north, this is Chen Fu from Biyun Tea House in Liucheng. , I would like to say hello to everyone here, and thank you for your kindness to participate in the tea competition held by our Biyun Tea House."

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause erupted from the front, back, left, and right, and the applause came and went one after another.

Chen Fu laughed again, "All the bosses who walk this line know that the tea competition in Liucheng is not about the competition, but about the tea. There has never been any fancy tricks. Just look at it..."

He took a step back and pointed at the short-legged desk, "There is a stove, there is spring water, and there is a tea set. Whether the tea is good or not depends on its shape, its aroma, and more importantly its taste. Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk too much nonsense." , which boss is willing to come up, sign up!"

As soon as the words were finished, a slender man stood up beside a table in the southwest. He laughed loudly, walked out of the crowd, and bowed his hands in salute, "My brother, Chi Zhouzheng and Cheng Xiangming Tea House, made a fool of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he took the two little tea boys behind him and strode onto the round stage.

Chen Fu stepped back with a smile, and beckoned, two tea girls in green skirts came over, took the bamboo box containing tea from the little tea boy, scooped some out with a teaspoon, and shook it on ten white porcelain tea trays.

The tea girl smiled and brought five tea trays down, letting the people in the lobby on the ground floor pass and smell the fragrance.Five large bamboo baskets were also hung down on the second floor, and the tea girl put the remaining tea trays into the baskets, and then someone hung them up, and let the spectators upstairs pass them around for viewing.

Su Huan was already full. He stretched his neck to watch, and twisted Huo An's hand from time to time, "Interesting and interesting."

Huo An also ate well, and sat there watching with Su Huan.He felt that the tea competition in Liucheng was also good. Just like what Chen Fu said, there were no fancy tricks, it was direct and effective, and it was simply an excellent platform to promote the tea trade between the north and the south.

At this time, the slender man on the stage was already sitting there, boiling water and making tea leisurely. White tea belongs to the category of white tea, which is not fermented or twisted. It can be divided into big white, narcissus white, and mountain white. Silver needle pekoe is the most precious among them. , the taste is sweet and mellow."
