Speaking of familiarity with Tokyo City, Lan Ruoxin, the head snake, is probably not comparable to Yang Huairen, an outsider.

Although he has lived in Tokyo for nearly a year, Yang Huairen is not very familiar with the streets except for the streets near Suiyuan.

Perhaps he also knew the general location and direction of the main streets in the city, so that he would not be lost alone, but when it came to some narrow streets and alleys, he was not familiar with them.

Since he had secretly entered the city, Yang Huairen was not in a hurry to return to Suiyuan first, but directly looked for the foremen of those experienced construction craftsmen.

Yang Huairen was dressed like this, if he walked like a fly on the street, it would be a little weird, so Lan Ruoxin walked into a teahouse with him first, and asked him to wait here for a while, and Lan Ruoxin went to Duanwangfu in the north of the city first to inquire about the news of those craftsmen.

Yang Huairen thinks this is a good idea, the girl is willing to run errands, so he is happy to hide in the teahouse for a while.

This is a small teahouse located in the lively West Market, and the name is elegant, called Green Tea Shop. Although the store area is not large, it is divided into two floors, and the decoration of the store is also different from the upper and lower floors.

On the first floor, there are some scattered seats, and there is a large teapot on each square table, and a stack of coarse porcelain tea bowls is next to the teapot, but there is no little second brother to greet guests.

It seems that there should not be any rare tea leaves in the big teapot, and the people passing by in front of the teahouse, if they are tired of walking, will walk in and sit casually, pour a bowl or two of tea by themselves, drink it with a bang, and when they are full, they will drop a penny at will, and then go out to continue to hurry or busy their business.

The second floor is a different story, first of all, whether it is tables, chairs, benches or teapots and bowls, it is much more exquisite than the first floor.

Although it is not a single room, each tea table for guests to drink tea is sparse and spacious, and there is a folding wood carved screen between the tea table and the tea table, forming a semi-open and quiet space.

Yang Huairen didn't think it was so surprising that this kind of differentiated operation was made, but he felt that the owner of the teahouse opened the shop on top of the noisy West Market, so that the tea business could really be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

There weren't many guests upstairs, and there were a few well-dressed old men who looked like rich and noble people, sitting comfortably on chairs, leisurely sipping the tea in the teacup.

Yang Huairen chose an empty table by the window on the street and sat down, and Xiao Er walked over with a very good eye.

"Sir, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of wood, which was carved with the names of the fine tea leaves provided in the teahouse, perhaps to facilitate the classification of guests, and filled with different colors of lacquer in the notches of different tea names, which was particularly vivid.

Yang Huairen didn't drink much tea before, but after coming to the Great Song Dynasty, he gradually liked to drink tea, especially after hard work, a bowl of cool tea quenched his thirst and fatigue.

It's just that when he was at home, Lian'er asked the maids to do the things of buying tea and making tea, and the tea at home was delicious, but he didn't know what kind of tea he was drinking.

Looking at the names of many unfamiliar teas, he hesitated slightly, and then asked Xiao Er with a smile, "Little Second Brother, Xiao Lao'er never pays attention to the name of this tea when he drinks tea at home on weekdays.

Why don't you choose two varieties that are newly stocked in your store and brew two pots. ”

Xiao Er scratched his head a little when he heard this, this shop has also been open in the West Market for decades, and he has been doing the second brother's livelihood here for seven or eight years.

The regular customers in the store, he naturally knows their preferences, and often does not need the guests to speak, and when he sees the guests going upstairs, he can shout to the guy who is making tea downstairs, what kind of tea to boil.

This also caters to the hearts of the regular guests, making them feel at home.

Even if some newcomers go up to the second floor and give the guests a delicate tea card, the guests will name and order a pot or two of tea to taste.

It's a little strange like the old gentleman in front of me. Looking at his dress, he is either a teacher or an old pedant, and such a scholar is naturally proficient in his understanding of tea.

But this old gentleman dressed like this, as if he didn't know anything about tea, had seen the tea card, and even didn't recognize the more famous tea leaves of the Great Song Dynasty, which was really incredible.

However, the guests who can go up to the second floor, in the heart of the little second brother, should be the owner of the money, maybe this old gentleman is from the countryside, the first time he enters the city, it is inevitable that he does not know much about these good teas.

"Old man, the tea in our store is all new tea."

The second brother said and pointed to a name on the wooden slip and introduced, "For example, this Yuezhou Lanting Flower Dock was only transported from Jiangnan to the capital a few days ago. ”

Lanting Huawu Tea, Yang Huairen knew the name, and thought that it was already a famous tea in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he nodded slightly with Xiao Er's introduction.

It's just that he shouldn't agree with Xiao Er's statement that "it's all new tea". It's only May, and most of the teas have just been picked, so where is the new tea of the year coming from in Tokyo?

Although some types of green tea are picked around the Qingming Festival, the tender tea picked at this time has a clear air, but it lacks a lot of aroma, and the taste is slightly green and resistant to brewing.

However, he thought about it, under the conditions of transportation at that time, maybe last year's tea was drunk this year, and in popular cognition, it was considered new tea, so the statement of the little second brother was not a deception to him.

Seeing that Yang Huairen just nodded and didn't make a sound, the second brother introduced another kind of tea, "If you want to talk about the latest tea, it belongs to this Lipu Xiuren, this is a new tea that just came down this year."

The tea leaves in Guizhou are early, and we haven't started spring yet, so we can pick tea over there. ”

In fact, Lipu and Xiuren are two place names, both of which are under the jurisdiction of Guizhou. Both places produce a more characteristic kind of tea, which is transported to the north, and people name it after the two origins.

Yang Huairen listened to the name of Xiuren tea and seemed very interested. His name is Huairen, this tea is called Xiuren tea, everyone is a representative of benevolence and righteousness, so it is better to order two pots to taste the taste.

Seeing that this old gentleman just tasted the taste, Xiao Er ordered two pots of tea that cost 50 yuan each, hurriedly and respectfully took back the wooden slip, and ran downstairs with a smile.

Suddenly, an old man's laughter and scolding came from the stairs, "You little guy, look at you, you are happy, pick up the silver or what's wrong?" ”
