Xu Jin and Huang Desheng signed a contract for black tea in a few words, who would have expected that this simple contract would really reach the level of 100,000 taels in the future, and Huang Desheng also became a huge rich man in the Ming Dynasty, and the tea business went to Europe.

After the two sides signed the contract, Huang Desheng rubbed his hands with anticipation and said, "How is Xu Gongzi going to open up the sales of tea?" ”

Xu Jin took a sip of tea and said, "Boss Huang will find out later!" ”

Huang Desheng felt weird, this Xu Jin in front of him was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, how could he feel like a veteran of the shopping mall, he was persuaded by him in a few words, and signed a contract.

Xu Jin smiled and asked, "Boss Huang, what are the requirements for signing up for the tea war?" ”

Huang Desheng immediately guessed eight or nine points, and replied: "There are no special requirements, you can use both the name of the tea shop and the name of an individual, and the participants can only bring one assistant." Well, there is also a registration fee of five taels of silver. ”

"Do you have to pay five taels of silver?" Han Chuang lost his voice.

Huang Desheng said with a smile: "Otherwise, any cat and dog will come to participate, and the venue will not be crowded, not to mention that there are too many people participating, and it will not be able to compare until dark." ”

It is indeed the same reason, five taels of silver is nothing to those large and medium-sized tea merchants, but it is necessary to weigh it for those small tea merchants.

For example, the owner of a small tea garden like Huang Desheng can really get five taels of silver, but the business of the tea market is probably only dozens of taels or even a dozen taels a day, who would be willing to spend five taels of silver to sign up for the tea war? What's more, the hope of entering the top ten of the tea war is very slim, and the probability of the registration fee of five taels of silver is 90%.

Therefore, the tea war is a game played by those large and medium-sized tea merchants, and they can't afford to play it if they have a thin background.

Fei Maozhong couldn't help but ask, "Is Ziqian planning to participate in the Ming War?" ”

Xu Jin nodded, his eyes fell on Fei Ruyi, who was sitting next to Xie Xiaowan, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruyi, can you help me?" ”

Fei Ruyi's moving face was slightly red, she was naturally willing, lowered her head and whispered shyly: "Xu Gongzi took back Geng Ti for Ruyi the day before yesterday, and now Ruyi is naturally no problem helping Gongzi." ”

"Hehe, the third sister agreed, Xu Jin, you can be more competitive and get the first one back." Fei Xiaoyu clapped her hands excitedly.

Fei Maoxian frowned and said, "Ziqian, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the third sister will make people gossip if she shows up in front of so many people." ”

Xu Jin naturally thought about this layer, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will personally fight the tea, as long as the Ruyi girl stands next to her, and mentions one or two at the critical moment, she can't see her face while wearing a power fence, there should be no problem." ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard this, as long as they didn't show their faces, there was no problem.

"Boss Huang, do you have a complete tea set here?" Xu Jin turned to Huang Desheng again and asked.

Huang Desheng smiled dryly: "The tea set is there, but it's just some ordinary goods, so Xu Gongzi will take it." The registration fee for the other five taels of silver ......"

Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "I will pay the registration fee myself, since I have talked about helping you open up the sales of black tea, it will naturally not cost you a penny." ”

Boss Huang immediately smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That contemptible person wishes Xu Gongzi a victory." ”

"Into the painting, you go back to the carriage and bring our tea set!" Fei Ruyi commanded softly.

Fei Ruyi has a slight cleanliness habit, and generally does not like to use utensils used by others, and the cup used for drinking tea is also carried with him in the painting.

After agreeing, he ran to the pontoon bridge and went back to the carriage across the river to get the tea set.

Fei Xiaoyu urged excitedly: "Let's go, let's hurry up and sign up." ”

Xu Jin saw that the queue was still relatively long, and said calmly: "Don't worry, let's rest for a while, and wait for less before going." ”

Fei Xiaoyu had no choice but to sit down again, smacked Xu Jin cutely, and complained: "You are always slow, not a few years older than others, and you look like an old man, so you can't be happy." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat, and Yue'er said dissatisfiedly: "Little jade girl, my master is called steady, how can you be like you, frizzy, like a wild boy!" ”

"Yue'er!" Xie Xiaowan hurriedly stopped Yue'er, and said apologetically: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't mind, I'll make a compensatory to you on behalf of Yue'er." ”

Fei Xiaoyu said nonchalantly: "Sister Xiaowan apologizes, Yue'er is right, this girl is wild, and the entire Leadshan County knows it." ”

The girls covered their mouths and snickered, and Fei Xiaoyu laughed heartlessly.

Fei Ruyi taught both funny and angry: "You, don't be ashamed, but proud!" ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other helplessly, their sister was spoiled like that by her mother, alas, I don't know if I can marry in the future.

Everyone sat and chatted for a while, and then ran back panting when they entered the painting, carrying a wooden box containing the tea set that Fei Ruyi usually uses.

"What a tea set!" Xu Jin opened it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he naturally saw that this set of tea sets was worth a lot of money, and it was quite old.

As the so-called new tea and old wine, drink tea to drink new ones, but the tea set for drinking tea is to use the old, and the older the better, because the new kiln porcelain fireworks are too strong, which will affect the quality of the tea soup.

When Fei Ruyi saw this tea set, there was a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes. It is said that this set of tea sets was given to her by her father Fei Dian on her fifth birthday, and it is a fine tea set produced by the official kiln in Jingdezhen during the Chenghua period, which is worth a lot of money.

Seeing things and thinking about people, seeing this set of tea sets, Fei Ruyi can't help but think of her parents' voice and smile, her mother was still alive when she was five years old, and now her parents are gone, yin and yang are separated, and there is no time to see each other.

Xu Jin keenly caught the sadness in Fei Ruyi's beautiful eyes, vaguely guessed a few points, carefully closed the tea box, and said in a harmonious voice: "Ruyi girl, let's go sign up!" With that, he gently put the box on his back.

Although there was no comforting language, Fei Ruyi, who was emotionally delicate, still felt the tenderness and pity in Xu Jin's tone and movements, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of fog, and hurriedly put the fence back on, letting the light veil cover her pretty face, and then stood up Yingying.

A group of people walked towards the place where Mingzhan had registered, and at this time there were still more than a dozen people queuing, and Xu Jin and Fei Ruyi were at the end of the line.

Most of these people who participated in the tea war were tea tasters from major tea shops and tea gardens, and of course, there were also tea lovers who participated in their private names, all of whom were rich and leisurely, and the purpose was just to enjoy themselves, and they didn't care about the ranking or anything.

But all the people who participated in the battle were two people, one was the main battle, and the other was an assistant. Although most of the participants brought tea boys as assistants, there were also maidservants as assistants, so it was not abrupt for Xu Jin to take Fei Ruyi to participate in the competition. It's just that Fei Ruyi looks a little strange wearing a power fence, coupled with her slender figure and graceful temperament, people can't help but want to lift her power fence and bet on the beauty under the light veil.

Of course, this is just the thoughts of those who don't know, such as Fang Tianyou, who knows about it, just by looking at the body shape, you can guess that the woman next to Xu Jin is Fei Ruyi.

Therefore, the three young men of the Fang family were full of jealousy at the moment, staring at Xu Jin and Fei Ruyi who were at the back of the line viciously, and secretly scolding dogs and men and women in their hearts.

Xu Jin waited for about Mo Zhan Tea, and then it was his turn, paid the registration fee of five taels of silver, and participated in the tea battle in the name of Yangmeiling Tea Garden.
