Deyi Tea House is in the east of the city. It takes a quarter of an hour to walk in from the north gate. The two brothers were very curious about the shops on both sides. They looked around but did not stop for fear of delaying their sister. For Chu Congrong, what?

It’s more important to not seize the time and make money.

What if one day I wear it again and leave this poor, kind-hearted family behind? At least I have to let them have enough food and clothing.

Finally we came to Yayi Tea House, which is a two-story attic. When we walked inside, we saw a few tables of customers sitting in twos and threes on the huge first floor. It felt like the business was very average. Maybe we came at the wrong time.

"Brother rich man!"

As soon as they entered the teahouse, the twins screamed happily. A lonely figure by the window turned around after hearing the sound. It was Duo Jin. A smile appeared on his face, and he pointed at the stool with his fan, gesturing for them to sit down.

There is a white teapot on the tea table, which is as big as the kettle in her previous life. There are a few teacups on the table, like half-full wine glasses, and some melon seeds and dried fruits.

Chu Congrong sat down gracefully and poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat, but it spurted out with a squelching sound!

It's not hot, it's too unpleasant to drink. It's a bit bitter, but not as bitter as Kuding tea, and a bit astringent, comparable to unripe peaches. Do people in this world drink this kind of tea? The taste should be

Too much tea leaves were put in and the tea was over-steeped.

Chu Congrong opened the teapot and took a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of tea leaves inside, and the water was a little cold.

She poured a cup for Duo Jin, then asked the waiter to add a lot of water, and then poured a cup for herself and her two brothers. She picked up the teacup and drank it, and then drank it.

"Brother local tycoon, why did you come to the county town with me today? You don't want to collect debts so soon, do you?" Chu Congrong said with a smile.

"The debt collection is not so urgent! The main reason is that I am afraid that you will run away to hide from the debt, and I don't have time to go to Taiping Town, so I thought of calling you to the county. After all, I can rest assured that it is under my nose." Duo Jin said with a smile, he was obviously very handsome.

But there is a weird smile on his face, which makes people want to slap him a few times.

"Are you in a hurry? Are you familiar with the boss or shopkeeper?" Chu Congrong asked.

Duo Jin shook his head.

"What are you talking about? Are you in no hurry or are you unfamiliar with the person?" Chu Congrong wanted to kick him!

"I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not familiar with the shopkeeper. But I guess he might give me some thin noodles. What do you want to do?"

Chu Congrong smiled and said: "I heard something happened to Young Master Shen halfway, and then I remembered how you helped us that day. I wanted to get you something to eat to express my gratitude, but I'm afraid the shopkeeper wouldn't agree!"

Pointing at the many golden fans, the waiter next to him came over. The two lowered their heads and said a few words. The waiter immediately led Chu Congrong into the kitchen. Soon she came out again and complained in disappointment that it was a pity that there was no milk.

It will be a big discount.

"What do you know about me? A lot of money! There are things that money can't buy." Duo Jin laughed loudly, waved his fan, and the waiter went to run errands, and soon came in with two bowls of white milk.

Chu Congrong quickly took it and walked in.

After a while, the waiters brought out two large bowls of food, one bowl was off-white and the other was brown.

Chu Congrong first filled a small bowl for each of the gold coins, and then filled a small bowl for each of the twins. She said with a smile: "Try it, don't you like it?"

A lot of gold was scooped up with a spoon, and there were some small white particles in the gray-white substance. He took a sip and frowned. After a while, he took a sip and shook his head again. After drinking a small bowl, he shook his head.

He hit his head more than ten times, which really makes people suspect that his head is equipped with a spring.

I saw him pick up another small bowl, this time it contained small brown particles, and he shook his head frequently while drinking.

The twins looked at it. It seemed that the wealthy brother didn't like what the elder sister made this time! They picked up the bowl and drank heavily. No matter how bad the drink was, they had to cheer for the elder sister!

But when they drank it, they looked very surprised!

It's obviously so delicious, how could a wealthy man not like it?

Chu Congrong was also frightened by Duo Jin's expression. Don't people in this world like to eat sweets? This is a creation carefully prepared by herself. The gray one is milk sago, and the brown one is sago rice. The latter is a very popular food in the south.

A unique dessert, similar to the pearls in pearl milk tea.

I actually don’t like this guy, he’s too naughty, isn’t he? Alas, I originally planned to make money from this.

Seeing Chu Congrong's disappointed look, Duo Jin showed a sly look, but said seriously: "As someone who loves food, I have to point out a very serious shortcoming of yours - the milk has changed color.

!”

Ah, this problem is easy to solve. Who knows that the teahouse has no white sugar, so it has to temporarily replace it with brown sugar.

"I'll give you some sugar later! First, do you think this place tastes good?" Chu Congrong asked anxiously.

"Well, I am also someone who has eaten countless desserts. This one barely ranks first. The only drawback is that I am afraid that you will be too proud!" As he spoke, Duo Jin filled a bowl with his own hands.

Similu said, "By the way, I like this better."

Hey, I scared this girl!

"Tell me, how much does a bowl of this stuff cost?" Chu Congrong asked.

"Thirty cents."

In the catering industry, a gross profit of 60 to 70% is completely acceptable, so the cost should be controlled at 30%, which is nine cents. I just asked the waiter that milk costs four cents per bowl, sugar and other costs are one cent, and that little sago

That’s four cents! One kilogram of dried cassava can make more than one hundred bowls, so it’s worth four hundred cents! Three kilograms of dried cassava can produce one kilogram of dried sago, and the actual cost is less than two pennies if labor is not included...

…

Chu Congrong calculated quickly, and then said with a smile: "This is called the best sago pearl dew. Do you believe I can sell it for three hundred yuan a bowl?"

Duo Jin shook his head, expressing disbelief.

"Tell you, girl, I can sell it for 300 yuan a bowl, or even more! It's a pity that you and the shop owner are not familiar with each other, so I only brought this little. I just want to sincerely thank you, and I don't plan to make money from it today.

." Chu Congrong said a little discouraged.

"There is another bowl here! We are not allowed to eat any of them, so I will leave it to you. If I can sell it for a hundred coins, I will lose, and I will bet five taels of silver!" Duo Jin said disdainfully, obviously getting more excited.

Chu Congrong was also a little angry. You are a rich man, so you can look down on others?

After once again making sure that the shopkeeper wouldn't mind, Chu Congrong asked the waiter to follow him holding the bowl of sago, while he held an empty bowl in his hand and surrounded the few tea guests, tapping it with his chopsticks as he walked.

The emperor said: "Hello, distinguished guests! Listen to me: I have a bowl of food here from Nanyang. It is carefully cooked with the finest pearl rice. It is the only one in Daning. Even the emperor does not have it.

You must have eaten it! Drinking this bowl of the best sago pearl dew can not only nourish the body, but also clear the liver and improve eyesight! Mr. Xu can testify to this!"

"I planned to give each of you a bowl as a gift, but unfortunately Mr. Xu almost finished it! Three days later, the store will give you a bowl again! But now, no matter who drinks this bowl, it will not be used by others.

Great fairness!”

Chu Congrong gave them some time to digest the information, and then continued: "Let's see, whoever bids the highest price for this bowl will give it to the person to have a taste! But please don't bid too high, which will hurt the harmony. In short,

After three days, everyone will have a share in sitting again!"

Everyone was a little confused at first, and then someone asked: "How much was your bowl of sambal originally worth?"

"No matter how much it's worth, I'll pay you fifty cents!"

"However, Mr. Xu thinks it's good. You only offer fifty, and I offer eighty!"

"Da Ning is the only one, I will give you two hundred coins!"

"What the little girl said is amazing. Three hundred words, just a vivid picture."

"Even the Emperor has never tasted it, and you have the nerve to offer it at such a low price! I'll pay you six hundred cents!"

…

"I'm here to join in the fun. I'm willing to give you two taels. I'm short of money, so I hope you'll be more generous. If you raise the price, I won't be able to follow suit." An old gentleman smiled and made a bid.

Originally, there were only twenty or thirty guests, and when the bid reached six hundred, no one followed. The old gentleman did it for twenty taels in one go, and no one followed.

Chu Congrong looked at the old man, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. He just found an acquaintance next to the old man, and it was Mrs. Lin from Dong'an Academy. He quickly said: "The so-called respect for the elderly brings blessings. The uncle just opened 600 Wen, and I also

I’ll charge you seven hundred coins, and Mr. Xu will make up the rest, since he’s not short of money anyway!”

After that, let the waiter give sago to the old man.

The old man started drinking unceremoniously, took a small sip, nodded frequently, and motioned to Mrs. Lin to taste it too. Mrs. Lin didn't show up either, and after tasting it, the two looked at each other, smiled, and started chatting in a low voice.

Mr. Xu had a sullen face and took out a piece of silver unhappily. Unexpectedly, this girl really sold that bowl of dessert for a sky-high price!

Chu Congrong pushed the money back and said: "I remember you said you promised your mother not to gamble, so I won't let you break the precept. But please help me be the middleman. I promised the uncles here.

I’ll give them a bowl.”

Duojin nodded and took the silver back unceremoniously.

Chu Congrong turned to the shopkeeper and said: "Uncle shopkeeper, I promised all the distinguished guests here that in three days each of them will receive a bowl of the best sago. I hope you will agree."

This was not a big deal, the shopkeeper agreed, and all the guests applauded.

"Uncle shopkeeper, I still want to do some business with you." Chu Congrong said warmly: "I want to sell your boss a poem, I guarantee he will like it, just five taels of silver. If your boss thinks it's not worth it, I'll give you three

I will return the money to you in the future, Mr. Xu can be your guarantee."

The shopkeeper thought she wanted to discuss the sago business with him, but he didn't expect that she wanted to sell poems to his boss. His boss was Prince Taiping, so how could he dare to make this decision privately?

"It's just five taels of silver. How can I be the guarantee? If the prince blames you, just send someone to find me and ask for it. I'll compensate you for fifty taels!" Mr. Xu was rich and arrogant.

"Haha, I am Yang Huaqing, the master of Zhiya Academy, and I would like to be my guarantee." The old man just now also stood up.

The shopkeeper had recognized Mr. Xu before, and there was another master as a middleman. Even the shopkeeper was embarrassed to refuse in person, so he took out five small silver coins from the counter, thinking that he hoped this little girl would not cheat him.

"I saw that Yayi Teahouse was so elegant, and I happened to see a few bamboo trees in the backyard. I once heard a wonderful saying from an old man. Unfortunately, I can't write. I wonder if Mr. Yang can help me?"

Master Yang smiled and said: "This is Yang's good fortune, and I am very happy!"

"It's better to eat without meat than live without bamboo." Chu Congrong read out slowly and said, "If your boss is willing to change the name to 'Tingzhu Tea House', it must be very good."

Master Yang waved it away and said: "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo! I never paid much attention to it before, but when I listen carefully to the sound of bamboo, I feel relaxed and happy. It is wonderful! Listening to the bamboo tea house, you can feel the artistic conception.
