Saucer looks very honest, speaks politely, and even his every move reveals a sense of Confucian etiquette.
It only took a third of the time for the incense stick to be used, and Chun Yuyue was conquered by the saucer and developed a good impression of him.
In fact, if it were in other places, Chunyu Yue might not fall so quickly.
The key is... he has a very bad impression of Beidi County, and he has just been deceived by Ma Bian again. Therefore, in the presence of others, Chunyu Yue felt that the moral level of this saucer was particularly high.
Other courtiers also had a good impression of the saucer. I think this young man is so honest, so enthusiastic, and a little funny. He often makes everyone smile with just a few words.
In addition to being funny, the saucer also secretly flattered the courtiers.
The flattery of the saucer is not the kind of clumsy flattery or false praise. But it is set off from the side, as gentle as spring breeze turning into rain, moistening things silently, reaching straight to the heart...
Soon, everyone present fell in love with the saucer.
The saucer said sincerely: "My lords, would you like to go to the teahouse for a chat?"
Everyone nodded: "Yes, yes."
The saucer scratched his head again and laughed dryly: "It's just that I'm shy and can't afford to invite so many people."
The courtiers all said generously: "You don't need to invite me, we can just invite you."
The saucer was overjoyed and saluted everyone: "My lords, come with me quickly."
The courtiers followed the saucer as if they were refreshed, with smiles on their faces.
Li Shui and Li Xin walked at the back.
Li Shui whispered to Li Xin: "Brother Li, be careful, there is something wrong with this person."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui strangely: "Is something wrong? His name is indeed a bit weird, but...it doesn't seem to matter, right? His character seems to be quite good, and he just praised me for my heroic appearance, which is admirable."
Li Shui looked at him with contempt: "Your resistance is too poor. You forget about it after being praised for a few times?"
Li Xin didn't say anything, but he felt happy in his heart: Brother Huai is jealous of me. Haha, you must be jealous of me.
Li Shui said to Li Xin: "After you go in, you must not drink tea. Just sit for a while."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Drinking tea? What is drinking tea?"
Li Shui sighed: "You will know when the time comes. Let's go in."
In Li Shui's impression, tea had not yet been popularized in the Central Plains at this time.
However...it is obvious that his appearance has accelerated the historical process.
It's no wonder that as an immortal, how many good things have you brought to the Central Plains? Papermaking, printing, iron pots... Now we have destroyed the Huns, opened up the Western Regions, encouraged commerce, and exchanged what we have.
It is actually a certainty that tea will arrive in the Central Plains ahead of schedule.
And the profession of saucer also came into being.
These courtiers today may be brutally slaughtered.
Li Shui could remind them, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.
First of all, there must be more than one place in Yiqu City where people are being ripped off, even if they find an excuse to lead the courtiers elsewhere today. But what about tomorrow? Sooner or later they will fall for it.
This cannot save Yiqucheng's reputation.
Secondly, these courtiers are so annoying, it would be better to let them suffer. How can we grow without suffering losses?
Li Shui suddenly felt that he was an educator.
The teahouse is very luxuriously decorated, but after everyone entered, they always felt a little strange and had a feeling of déjà vu.
Suddenly, someone murmured: "This place is somewhat similar to the Exalted Immortal Tower."
When everyone took a look, they looked a bit alike. No, it’s not that they are somewhat similar, but they look more and more like each other.
The Banished Immortal Tower has two floors, and this place also has two floors.
There are private rooms on the second floor of the Banished Immortal Building, and there are also private rooms here.
Then someone discovered a plaque hanging inside the store. There are four big characters written on it: Fairy spirit.
Someone looked at Li Shui with a suspicious look on his face.
Li Shui was expressionless, looking enigmatic.
The saucer led everyone to a private room on the second floor.
Then, a waiter from the teahouse came up.
The clerk saluted everyone and said politely: "A few days ago, Master Fu Yao has issued an order to focus on rectifying all kinds of chaos among merchants."
"Especially to combat forced buying and selling, false prices, unclear pricing, and other illegal activities. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."
"Businessmen and citizens who come and go can report directly to the government if they feel they have been deceived. Teahouses, restaurants and other shops have the responsibility to inform foreign guests and repeat the order."
Li Shui was a little puzzled when he heard this. According to this order, the saucer would have no effect.
Isn’t that what saucers are all about? He took people to a teahouse and coaxed and tricked them into drinking tea. After drinking the tea, they found that the tea was worth a lot of money.
The customer was taken advantage of and left cursing, and the teahouse split the money with the saucer.
But with this order, the teahouse and saucer plan will no longer work.
At this time, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said as if he had completed his task: "Okay, that's it, let's get to the point. This restaurant has clearly marked prices. Please take a look at the menu. If you don't want to drink tea here, you can leave. Our store will never force anyone to stay.”
Then the guy put a piece of paper on the table.
Li Shui noticed that the waiter and the saucer looked at each other inadvertently, both of them had strange looks in their eyes.
Li Shui immediately realized that these two people knew each other. Maybe the saucer brought the person here, which was also an arrangement with the tea house.
So Li Shui became more interested and wanted to know how the tea house and saucer could deceive people in this situation.
The courtiers picked up the menu and looked at it, and suddenly took a breath of air.
A cup of tea costs 10,000 yuan?
Sure enough, this tea house not only imitates the Immortal Immortal House in appearance, but also catches up with the level of deception.
The courtiers wanted to leave.
The saucer smiled sheepishly and said to the courtier: "Is the tea here too expensive? I am too imprudent. Seeing the noble clothes, elegant temperament and extraordinary appearance of the adults, I took it upon myself to think that you, the adults, should eat it." I’m not used to ordinary food, I just like the fresh, noble and ambitious tea in this teahouse.”
"My lords, forgive me. It's my fault. Let's leave immediately. I know a place with good quality and low price. It's very affordable."
The courtiers were about to leave, but upon hearing this, they immediately sat down.
Some people were even a little unhappy: "What do you mean? It's too expensive? I have a lot of money, so I'm afraid of it being expensive?"
"What is good quality and low price? Very affordable? With my status, can I be like those people in Guizhou and eat only based on whether it is affordable or not, and whether it is cheap or not?"
Even Chun Yuyue said lightly: "I really want to see what this noble tea is today."
The saucer said to the courtiers with a sincere face: "My lords, the prices in the teahouse are indeed high. If you are really in trouble, just say it, it will be okay."
The courtiers shouted: "It's not embarrassing, why is it embarrassing? This is just a drop in the bucket. If you continue to say such noisy words, you are looking down on us and insulting us. Don't blame us for turning our backs."
The saucer hurriedly sat down and said: "Yes, yes, the villain is unreasonably worried. The villain has a humble status. How can he have seen the immortal days of the adults? The villain only has this shallow knowledge. You adults must forgive me."
These words made the courtiers very satisfied.
Li Shui looked at it and secretly admired: This saucer is used as a saucer, and what about psychological means? Master, this is a master. This is so awesome.
The courtiers each ordered a cup of tea, and some flattering officials wanted to order tea for Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng shook his head and pointed to a random one.
These courtiers all thought it was a bit expensive, but they would be embarrassed if they didn't order it.
Spend 10,000 yuan and come here to look noble and elegant.
There's always something weird about this.
Fortunately, everyone agreed. If they wanted to be taken advantage of, everyone would do it together.
No, there are still two people who haven’t ordered.
Of all the people present, only Li Shui and Li Xin did not order tea.
The waiter looked at Li Xin: "My lord, don't you have a cup of tea?"
Li Xin couldn't stand it anymore.
Although the waiter didn't say it explicitly, in front of everyone, he was clearly asking: "My lord, can you afford tea?"
Who wants to disgrace this person?
But Li Xin looked at Li Shui who was calm next to him, as if he had gained spiritual support, so he said shamelessly: "I won't drink it, it's too expensive."
The courtiers immediately showed mocking expressions.
Nonsense, you spent 10,000 dollars just to laugh at people who are reluctant to spend money?
However, despite the ridicule, the courtiers were also a little envious of Li Xin.
If only... I had such thick skin. pity……
The waiter and the saucer looked at Li Xin and secretly admired him.
In fact, they have already studied and understood that these dignitaries are most concerned about face. As long as they are brought to the tea house and they say a few words, they will not stand up and leave.
Even if you don't want to drink tea, you still have to order a cup to show that you are not short of money.
Moreover, when dignitaries order tea, they cannot order the cheapest one, as that would be too shameful. Order a medium-medium drink.
Unexpectedly, a person with such a thick skin came today and refused directly.
This man is truly a disgrace among nobles.
So the waiter gave up on Li Xin and looked at Li Shui with a smile on his face: "My lord, have you chosen yet?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "I don't want to drink tea."
When Li Xin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his intestines turned green with regret: That's right, wouldn't it be better if I just said I didn't want to drink tea? Why do you say it's too expensive? Brother Huai is still smart. You can refuse and save face at the same time.
Li Xin didn't know that the courtiers were all complaining in their hearts: They were afraid of the price, but they actually said they didn't want to drink it, trying to hide it, which was even more embarrassing. It's not as good as Li Xin being upright.
The guy was a little surprised, but he still smiled professionally: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
He was about to turn around and leave.
Li Shui then said, "Does Qing Shui need money here?"
The clerk was stunned and stammered: "Qing Shui naturally doesn't want money..."
Li Shui hummed: "I'm a little thirsty, just give me a free glass of water."
Guy: "..."
The courtiers looked at Li Shui dumbfounded: Huaiguzi, you gave me a new understanding of the word shameless.
And Li Xin looked at Li Shui with admiration: Brother Huai is so shameless, even I can't keep up with him.
After sighing in his heart, Li Xin immediately made amends and said to the waiter: "I'm also a little thirsty and want a free pot of water."
Guy: "..."
He looked at the faces of Li Shui and Li Xin carefully, and then remembered them in his heart.
"These two are really noble people? They can't be scoundrels who sneaked in, right? Well, it's not a waste of time to meet such people." The man sighed in his heart.
Not long after, the waiter came up with a cup of tea.
As soon as he came in, Li Shui smelled the fragrance of tea, which was similar to what he would smell in later generations.
I haven't seen this thing for a long time.
Li Shui was a little emotional.
The waiter brought tea and placed it in front of everyone's tables one by one. Then he placed two pots of water in front of Li Shui and Li Xin.
He couldn't help but be very surprised when he found that the faces of these two people were as usual, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Chunyu Yue and others were looking at the tea in front of them in a daze, not knowing how to drink it.
Li Shui was also stretching his neck, looking at Chun Yuyue's tea in a daze.
Is this tea? Are you sure it's not porridge?
Isn't this tea a little too strong?
Yes, it seems that the ancients did drink tea this way. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that they began to make tea.
Chunyu Yue glanced at Li Shui and said calmly: "If Master Ruohuai is really eager for this tea, you might as well buy a cup yourself. Anyway, your family has a huge fortune, so you can afford it."
Li Shuigan laughed: "Ten thousand dollars a cup, I can't afford it, I really can't afford it."
Li Shui said he couldn't afford to drink, but his expression clearly said: I don't want to be taken advantage of.
For a moment, the courtiers present felt that they had been hurt twice.
Only Ying Zheng was relatively calm. Regardless of whether the tea is expensive or not, it can only be regarded as supporting Fu Yao.
You don't need to guess to know that there are so many merchants and shops in Yiqu City, it must be Fu Yao's handiwork. If you support the merchant yourself, you are giving face to Fu Yao.
The saucer seemed to know that everyone didn't know how to drink tea, so he took the initiative to pick up the cup, smelled it first, then took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
The courtiers followed suit and took a sip.
Later, they all felt it tasted good.
After drinking this product into your mouth, there is a slight bitterness at first, but as you taste it for a long time, the bitterness subsides and turns into a refreshing fragrance.
After drinking it, I can hardly feel the bitterness at all, I just feel the freshness between my lips and teeth.
Chunyu Yue nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Yes, yes. This thing is bitter first and then sweet, just like in life, when you are young, you are not afraid of hard work and read poems and books diligently. When you are old, you can enjoy it." Sweet.”
Mr. Fusu was also full of praise: "Drinking this thing regularly will definitely make you noble."
The waiter and the saucer were both dumbfounded: drinking tea can make people become noble people?
However, complaining in his heart, Sauter quietly took out a pen and paper and wrote down these few sentences. Maybe it will be useful when introducing teahouses in the future.
Other courtiers also praised the tea.
Many people even said that this tea is definitely not expensive at 10,000 yuan a cup.
Of course, I don’t really say this to praise the tea. But to prove that he was not taken advantage of, and that the money was well spent.
Some people even wanted to show off to Li Shui and Li Xin.
After all, these two alternatives can only smell but not drink. The more magical tea is promoted by others, the more greedy they become.
