Chapter 1914 The hard-to-get trick
In the box.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe talked in low voices.
"I don't know if he will come."
Huo Changhe was full of confidence: "Don't worry, even if Liu Jiulang himself is not here, the tea master is knowledgeable. Tea houses like this always have tea masters, and they are the owners themselves."
"Liu Jiulang's tea business is the most profitable, at least on the surface. The shipping costs of transporting tea from Jiangnan to here are also very high. If we can find a few more suppliers, it will be a great success."
"The tea we provide is of excellent quality. There's no need to worry about him not taking the bait. Even if he's not here today, he'll get the news soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The two looked at each other, and Yan Ruyu stood behind him.
"Come in."
The person who came this time was not the waiter, but a middle-aged man.
Yan Ruyu looked at him. He was about forty years old, mature and steady, dressed in a silk suit, looking even more noble than the shopkeeper.
He was holding a tray with a teapot on it. The aroma of tea was already in the air before anyone entered.
Dr. Tea walked into the room with a smile and put down the teapot: "Sir, the tea is ready."
Huo Changhe didn't move, not even an eyelid, and Yan Ruyu poured him tea.
The tea soup is green in color, with a fresh and rich aroma.
"It's not bad," Huo Changhe took a sip, "I think I haven't ruined this tea."
The Tea Master bowed and said, "Thank you very much, sir. This fine tea is rare to come by. I wonder where you got it from?"
Yan Ruyu chuckled, "This tea is good, but it's nothing special. My master's business is all over the country, and our tea is world-famous. What's the big deal?"
Yan Ruyu was not bragging. She was now in close cooperation with the Qian family and even had the Qian family's fish talisman on her.
However, Rongzhou's economy was too bad, and the Qian family's money had long been withdrawn from Rongzhou, with only a grain store barely supporting it.
The people can't even afford to eat, so how can they drink tea, buy cloth or buy jewelry?
Yan Ruyu secretly felt regretful. If the Qian family were here, this trip would have been much smoother.
When Dr. Tea heard her words, his eyes instantly sparkled.
"I don't know what the treasure number is..."
Yan Ruyu glanced out the window, her face unable to conceal her displeasure. "My master came out this time to do tea business and to charter a few boats. I didn't expect Rongzhou to be so depressed. I'm afraid this business... won't work out."
At this time, Liu Jiulang heard it clearly in the corridor outside the door.
When he heard that he wanted to do tea business and also sail, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
This is a big fat sheep, we must hold on to it tightly.
He gave the waiter a wink, and the waiter came forward and he whispered a few words in the waiter's ear.
The waiter nodded and walked quickly into the house.
Yan Ruyu glanced at the tray brought by the waiter, which contained six plates of fruit snacks.
When I looked up, I saw Dr. Tea was also among the plates of dried fruits.
Ok?
After reading it, Dr. Tea raised his eyes and said with a bow, "You two may not know that my boss is also a tea lover and tea expert. If you have time, why not talk to my boss?"
Yan Ruyu glanced at Huo Changhe, but Huo Changhe just drank his tea, seemingly not hearing anything, and didn't even glance at the small plate of dried fruits on the table.
Yan Ruyu picked up one of the small plates, poured the contents into the other, and wiped the small plate clean with a handkerchief.
Then he took some dried red and yellow fruits from a small cloth bag beside him, put them on a plate, and brought it to Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe lowered his eyes, picked up one and ate it slowly.
Others see him as arrogant, but he is actually a little insecure inside.
I was thinking that when I get back to the inn, I will have to serve Yan Ruyu well.
The red and yellow fruits are beautifully sliced. Yan Ruyu uses a small tool to cut them, and the slices have lace edges.
After drying, the color remains beautiful and the fragrance remains unchanged.
When Dr. Tea took a look, he wondered what this was and why he had never seen it before.
The waiter sniffed and thought it smelled so good that he even had some saliva in his mouth and couldn't help swallowing.
Yan Ruyu secretly laughed, and when she saw the time had come, she said, "Forget it. My master isn't very interested in Rongzhou. Business is all about making money, but you Rongzhou are like this..."
"Excuse me, even if you take all the money, how much will it be?"
If she had said it with this tone and these words before, the waiter would definitely think she was being too arrogant.
But now I hear that it makes some sense.
They have seen everything and their business is spread all over the country. Compared with other wealthy places, Rongzhou is indeed inconspicuous.
Dr. Tea said, "Rongzhou will gradually get better, and our boss is also working hard for this."
"I heard that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will grant amnesty to the entire nation and will also invest significant financial and human resources to support cities with struggling economies."
"Rongzhou is close to the water, and cities close to the water are all good. Rongzhou has indeed been special in recent years, and it will get better soon."
Huo Changhe raised his eyes when he heard this.
Yan Ruyu's heart was also slightly shaken.
They only found out about the new emperor's ascension to the throne after seeing the express letter sent over 800 miles away. The imperial edict had not arrived yet, but Rongzhou had already known about it.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself that Rongzhou was much more complicated than it appeared on the surface.
Huo Changhe said in a deep voice, "It's only natural for the new emperor to grant amnesty to the people upon his ascension to the throne, and to support some old cities so they can regain their lives. How did you know about the new emperor's secret order to Hu Wen?"
Dr. Tea smiled slightly and whispered, "From this, sir, you can see the strength of our host, right?"
"To tell you the truth, our boss's business is not only in Rongzhou. It's just that Rongzhou is our hometown and the place where we made our fortune. We have our ancestral heritage here, so we stay here."
Huo Changhe nodded thoughtfully, "Could it be that the boss has someone in the capital?"
A look of joy flashed in Dr. Cha's eyes. He was about to speak when he heard a commotion outside.
Yan Ruyu looked out the window and saw many soldiers and officers coming onto the street. Judging from their attire, they were runners and constables from the governor's office.
A smile flashed across her eyes, and she naturally knew what these people were doing there.
In fact, on the way to the teahouse, I saw a group of people from afar, but I didn't meet them.
Liu Jiulang in the corridor also heard the noise, frowned and turned around to check.
Yan Ruyu stood by the window and looked down: "What is this for?"
Dr. Tea was also confused and couldn't answer for a moment.
Then I heard the yamen runners shouting, "Everyone, submit to inspection! Search every house!"
"We must catch the thief."
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised and looked at Dr. Tea: "Why are there still thieves here?"
"Master, not only are they poor here, but they're also plagued by thieves. Isn't this too bad?"
"With such a large family and business, you have to hire a lot of thugs to protect the house. You have to find a large group of people to protect you when you go out and come in. It's really troublesome."
She frowned and looked at Dr. Tea: "Why is it so messy here?"
Dr. Tea: “…” The more he listened, the more outrageous it became.
"Not really..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Ruyu glanced down and saw a familiar figure.
It was the waiter of the Jingnan Shipping Company.
Yan Ruyu smiled, was she unable to wait and came to look for him on the street?
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu flicked her finger and a nut bounced down and landed at the waiter's feet.
