Chapter 618

The pockmarked face on the side also frowned. Why did these two people chat with them?

The shopkeeper smiled, "Brother, my family's ancestors were tea farmers for three generations, and now there are still large areas of hills growing tea. It doesn't matter if the tea leaves of my own are, and naturally they sell them cheaper than other companies."

Ye Ningyu looked like he suddenly realized. "So that's it. It seems that there is not much rain in Luoshui City, and it is still possible to grow tea for generations?"

"There is a Bailing Valley in the east of the city, which is a large area of ​​hills, and it is also the place where the next generations of ancestral homes are low-lying and shady all year round. Tea cannot be grown in other places in Luoshui City, so good tea can be grown in this place." The shopkeeper smiled.

"In this way, is this Bailing Valley a wonderful place to grow tea?" Bai Chengzhi seemed very interested in this place where he could grow tea, and his eyes were bright.

"Since that's the case, no other tea merchants have taken a fancy to it and bought land there to grow it?" Ye Ningyu also asked hurriedly.

In the shopkeeper's opinion, these two young people are very unlucky to hide their thoughts. This may have to suffer in front of the overwhelmingly profitable merchants. If they meet tricky customers, the business will probably not be able to continue.

The shopkeeper felt a little sympathy for the two young people, and he felt that it would be okay to reveal something.

"The wonderful land is the wonderful land, but it's a pity that land was bought by my father. If we don't sell it for fifty years, others will not have the idea of ​​that land." The shopkeeper smiled.

As he said that, he took a sip of tea and continued it to the three of them. "You guys can taste it, this is picked from Bailing Valley. In our local area, it is called 'Balling Tea'."

Ye Ningyu took a sip and savored it carefully. "It is indeed a good tea, much better than the tea we bought from Liangguo." Ye Ningyu whispered to Bai Chengzhi, but this still reached the hands of the shopkeeper.

Seeing Ye Ningyu love his tea so much, the shopkeeper's eyes and eyes showed an inadvertent pride, and his speech became more and more intense.

"This entire Luoshui City is not right. Looking at the entire Yan Kingdom, our family can sell bailing tea. Not to mention two, even the big families in Kyoto love our tea very much. They have been drinking it for decades. To be honest, our big tea is exclusively provided to the big families in Kyoto every year!" The shopkeeper said, deliberately lowering his voice, but the words still clearly reached the ears of the three of them.

Ning Bai and the others showed surprise and envy. Bai Chengzhi clapped his hands even more, "If we had known that Yan State had such a famous tea account, we should have come to ask for advice long ago, and we would not have taken a detour."

"What my brother said is, I miss my tea shop, hey! There are really people outside, and there is God beyond heaven." Ye Ningyu also looked ashamed and upset.

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed into a slit. He looked at Ning Bai and the other two and spoke like elders. "There are no two little brothers. You don't have to do this. It's hard to make a name for business without a foundation of more than ten or twenty years. In fact, our family has been growing tea for many years. If it weren't for the noble man who gave his father a guide and asked him to buy that piece of land soon, we juniors wouldn't be as leisurely as we are now, right?"

"So that's it." Ye Ningyu's eyes became more and more envious. "It's really a great blessing to meet such a noble person in life."

"Who said no! My father said the same thing. Before leaving, he warned his descendants to remember the kindness of noble people, so we have no money to receive every year's tea we send to Kyoto."

"The nobles in Kyoto are very picky. I think the price of this Bailing tea is moderate, and the people drink it, just like a folk tea. Is this nobles willing to drink the same tea as the people?" Bai Chengzhi looked confused and asked humbly.

"You don't know this." A proud look appeared on the shopkeeper's face again. "There are many kinds of Bailing tea, including mountain top tea, mountain side tea, valley tea. It is also divided into southern tea, northern tea, March tea, and June tea."

"So complicated?" Ye Ningyu was very curious and asked hurriedly, "What is the best tea and what is the second tea?"

"Hey!" The shopkeeper waved his hand, "We don't talk about good or bad, but about A, B, C, heaven, earth and man."

Seeing that the three of them became more confused, the shopkeeper said, "In fact, it is not complicated. The March Mountainside tea in the southern tea, whether it is fragrant, taste, color, or form of brewing tea, is of the best quality. We call it the A-class tea in the Tianzi. The June Valley tea in the northern tea is much worse than that, and we have become the A-class tea in the herringbone tea."

"As usual, there are teas of Tianzi B, teas of Tianzi C, teas of Dizi A, and so on. There should be nine types in total." Ye Ningyu said while counting.

The shopkeeper nodded, "That's right, this little brother will understand at all."

"So, you just said that you would give tea to the nobles in Kyoto every year. The first-class one should be given: the A-class tea in Tianzi?" Bai Chengzhi said, and Yu Guang suddenly glanced behind the shopkeeper. He saw two cans of tea placed on the tea cabinet behind him, and the word "Tianjia" was written on the red paper on the can.

The shopkeeper seemed to notice Bai Chengzhi's gaze, smiled, got up and took a can of tea. "You can taste this can of tea first?"

As he said that, he opened the tea pot and prepared to make tea.

"There is no need to worry about such expensive tea, just take a look." Bai Chengzhi seemed very embarrassed and hurriedly refused.

But the shopkeeper just pretended that he didn't hear it, and the tea soup was ready soon.

The three of them tasted it in turn, Ning Bai and the other two savored it carefully. The pockmarked face seemed not to drink much tea, and they couldn't tell the difference, so they drank all the tea in one sip.

Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper was not angry and only looked at Ning Bai and the other two. "Two, how about this tea?"

"The tea soup is bright, mellow and sweet aftertaste. I have never drunk such a good tea before." Bai Chengzhi commented happily.

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes again, looking proud. "Well? The shopkeeper invited the few tea customers to taste this tea, and they all said that this is the best tea they have ever drunk. But you don't know, this tea..." The shopkeeper glanced at the tea soup and looked at Ning Bai and the other two mysteriously, "It's not the A-level character in Tianzi."

After saying that, the shopkeeper picked up the teacup and sucked it, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, "It's the word "B" of Tianzi."

"Isn't it a tea of ​​A?" Ning Bai and the others were stunned. Even the pockmarked face, who had been silently drinking tea and never talked to each other. "Your jar clearly has the word "A" written on the jar, but it turned out that it was a class of Emperor B. Isn't this a bully?"

The shopkeeper looked at the pockmarked face and didn't seem to mind that he said such ugly things.

"I'm here and I don't sell it. I'll just wait for guests who know tea to come and give them free taste. Besides, they have never mentioned the real Tianzi A. This can of Tianzi B is the best in their hearts, that is, the Tianzi A. Is there any problem with them? Just like if I don't tell you just now, you won't know that this is not A tea."
