Chapter 70 Yutai Teahouse
Jingcheng·Yutai Teahouse.
Although dark clouds are gathering in the south and tensions are rising, the outcome of such a war will not be visible for a while.
The three fires that Jin Yanxi's new official took office were almost ignited, and the energy gradually returned to Bai Xiuzhu.
Until this day, Jin Yanxi unexpectedly received a letter from Bai Jiali through Sophora japonica. This made Jin Yanxi immediately realize that she had incurred another peach blossom debt, but she had to deal with it and had to book the date at
Yutai Tea House.
If a teahouse can be called a big teahouse, it must first be in scale. It must have at least five facades facing the street. The five facades are connected. This is the front hall, which can seat hundreds of people. Going inside is the corridor and the hall.
, this place is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and fine wood surrounds each elegant seat, providing tranquility amidst the bustle. It not only meets the needs of the bustle, but also has good privacy.
At the back is a courtyard with many canopies set up inside. There are scattered seats for individual tea drinkers.
Jin Yanxi did not ride a horse or take a car today. It was Xiangzi who pulled Jin Yanxi here. Pulling a foreign rickshaw is also a technical job. It runs steadily and is faster than ordinary people running alone, so it is not
Anyone can do this job.
As soon as Jin Yanxi walked in, the shopkeeper Wang Lifa saw her.
The shopkeeper has been running a teahouse since his father's generation. He has been following the waiter since he was a child, and his eyesight has long been developed. The young man who came in was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was indescribably handsome and handsome. He looked like the one in the storyteller's story.
He is an ordinary character, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with meticulous hair. He is obviously a wealthy young man!
Wang Lifa hurriedly came up to greet him. Now that he had improved, it was no longer fashionable to fight Qian'er, so he handed him over.
Wang Lifa cupped his hands and said: "Sir, are you here? I look at you. Come back. I'll find you a good seat. What kind of tea will you like?"
Jin Yanxi looked at the sign hanging behind the counter. The sign at the end of the line read: The best jasmine double smoke.
Jin Yanxi said casually: "The best double smoked jasmine."
The tea guests who heard what he said all looked up at him, saying to themselves that another high-roller has come, but no one has ordered this top-quality jasmine double smoke for a while. Since the emperor disappeared, those bannermen who eat hard-core crops have
As time goes by, the number of people who come to the teahouse to order good tea has decreased by more than half.
Nowadays, the guests in the teahouse are those who are used to coming here. They are addicted. They feel uncomfortable after not coming for a day. Some of them are homeless. They still bring their own tea foam to the teahouse every morning. Wang Lifa has to pour water.
Money.
Wang Lifa was very happy. His eyesight was definitely right. He was definitely a young man. The best double-smoked jasmine was made from Mingqian high mountain tea. It was first scented with jasmine flowers and scented again before being sold.

This bowl is four small oceans, which is almost worth half an ocean. When you go to a restaurant, you can order four dishes at least!
Wang Lifa has not done such a "big deal" for a long time. In the years when his business is declining, it is really a surprise to occasionally have such a high-roller.
Wang Lifa led the way: "Please come this way, please come this way!"
Wang Lifa led Jin Yanxi up the stairs to the semi-enclosed seating area. He took the white towel off his shoulders and wiped the stool and the Eight Immortals table vigorously.
After Jin Yanxi took his seat, Wang Lifa quickly put the teapot and bowl on the table, and put down a small plate of melon seeds and a small plate of pastries.
Wang Lifa nodded and said: "Sir, your tea and snacks are given to you, please use them as you please."
Jin Yanxi ordered: "There is my coachman at the door. Give him a bowl of sugar and tea."
Wang Lifa complimented: "You are kind-hearted. If you send these hard-working people here, there is no tea to drink."
After that, he hurriedly went, took a stoneware bowl, poured a bowl of high-froth tea, added a few spoons of sugar, and handed it to Xiangzi when he went out.
Xiangzi took it and drank it in one gulp.
She sweated due to exerting herself, and her chest would easily hurt if she didn't drink some sugar water. Jin Yanxi still knew these things, and she knew them mainly to win people's hearts. Of course, it was also because the values of future generations have not been wiped out.
Jin Yanxi hadn't sat down for a while when Bai Jiali came in. It seemed that she had arrived early and had been hiding and waiting.
Bai Jiali took her seat and said, "Seventh Master."
Jin Yanxi poured tea: "Miss Bai, please have some tea."
Bai Jiali expressed her thanks: "Thank you very much, Mr. Qi, for your help that day, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done."
Jin Yanxi said modestly: "It is a matter of course, not a big deal."
Bai Jiali said with tears in her eyes: "Master Qi, do you know? My grandma vomited blood."
Jin Yanxi was stunned and said: "That's not right. When I celebrated my birthday in the spring this year, my body and bones were quite good."
Bai Jiali cried and said: "I just finished my birthday celebration that day, and my body suddenly stopped working. I studied Western medicine, and I know that my grandma suffered gastrointestinal mucosal damage, so I'm afraid she won't work anymore."
Jin Yanxi consoled her: "Don't cry. If you ask me to come, please let me know if I can help you."
Bai Jiali confessed: "I like you."
Jin Yanxi was surprised and said: "What?"
Although Jin Yanxi had a premonition about this, she didn't expect that she would be so bold and dare to confess her love in public. This is not the future.
In fact, Bai Jiali has been haunted during this period. The scene of Battalion Commander Zhang being shot in the head that day and the blood splattering on her face was so shocking. Therefore, when she was desperate, the figure who rushed in on a white horse to save her was firmly imprinted on her.
In her heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to forget it in her lifetime, which is why she hid in the boudoir on the day of the birthday party and did not meet He Luopu. Only Jin Yanxi's handsome appearance was left in her mind.
Bai Jiali repeated: "I said I like you, I love you."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked. Jin Yanxi was shocked by such shocking words. This little girl was so courageous. In fact, Jin Yanxi chose the crowded Yutai Teahouse as the date today just because
Bai Jiali hesitated to speak, but it didn't help at all.
Jin Yanxi was shocked and said: "Are you crazy?"
Bai Jiali confided: "I'm not crazy. I'm very conscious and know what I'm doing, because I can't control myself from thinking about it, so you can reject me, but I have to let you understand my feelings for you."
Jin Yanxi took out the flower and said: "Then I will also let you know my attitude."
"Bang!"
Jin Yanxi fired a warning shot and said: "Listen, everyone, I am Jin Yanxi, the director of the Patrol Department, and the Prime Minister Bai Xiongqi is my brother-in-law. I don't want to hear anyone talking about what happened today. My reputation doesn't matter, but it has tainted others."
The girl's reputation is not up to par. If I hear any gossip in the future, I will arrest the person involved and deal with it severely."
This frightened Wang Lifa. For a time-honored brand of more than 60 years, this was the first time a gun was fired. Wang Lifa rushed over and bowed to persuade.
Wang Lifa came forward and said: "Hey, what are you talking about? Master, sir, please calm down. The people here today are all regular customers. They will not ruin this girl's reputation by gossiping.
”
Jin Yanxi took out the silver and said: "I'm sorry, I damaged your teahouse, this compensation should be enough."
In fact, how could it be possible to control public opinion? Jin Yanxi was just making a statement, minimizing the negative impact as much as possible, at least making people dare not discuss it publicly. However, in Bai Jiali's eyes, it was all about protection.
Bai Jiali has just graduated. She is a middle school girl who likes exciting things when she is in love. Jin Yanxi's behavior of firing guns at every turn is much more exciting than those young hooligans in later generations who endeared themselves to little girls because of their fights.
Jin Yanxi expressed her position: "Thanks to Miss Bai for being wrongly loved, but Jin has a wife and concubines, so he has no choice but to let the girl down."
Bai Jiali said helplessly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you know what I mean."
Jin Yanxi said goodbye: "It's getting late. Please spend more time with your grandma when you go back. Farewell."
Jin Yanxi left the teahouse without looking back, sat in Xiangzi's car and left, leaving Bai Jiali alone, but she didn't leave for a long time, ignoring the whispers of everyone, and drank this pot of the best jasmine double smoke alone.
,Taste the bitter fruit of broken love.
……
Beijing·Overpass.
Jin Yanxi did not go home after leaving Yutai Tea House, but asked Xiangzi to drag him to Tianqiao for fun. Jin Yanxi has always gone to high-end places, and has not been to Tianqiao yet. Today I have the opportunity to come to Tianqiao to see it.
Look.
There are many interesting places in the capital. If you want to see cultural relics and play elegantly, go to Guozijian Street. If you want to be quiet, go to Xijiao Park. But if you want to go to a crowded and lively area, of course the overpass is the place. This place is noisy from before dawn.
Midnight.
Even before we reached the overpass, we could already feel the noise. There were various stalls on the outside of the street, where people were eating breakfast, chatting, and all kinds of people.
Many of them were wearing satin coats, with long fake braids with flowers on them, and big thumbs on their thumbs. They were holding or carrying a bird cage. Most of them were filled with orioles, and only a few of them raised some starlings.
Others are even more powerful, they only hold cages, but there are no birds in them!
These people are playing with cages. Others buy cages to raise birds. They buy cages just for the sake of cages. They treasure it every day, and they rub it and mess with it. This cage may be from Huanghuali, or it may be
In Nanmu, some people can’t even afford to eat, yet they still do this!
The overpass stretches from east to west, offering everything you need to eat, drink, and have fun. There are many theater studios on the east side. Naturally, there are no performances at this time, but many theater troupes are shouting their voices here.
The reason why we don’t practice in open places is because there are many people here, which can exercise children’s courage and gain popularity. There are often people who have never been on stage before and have already gained many “fans” just by practicing their voices every day.
, of course, this situation is still mostly male.
Each theater troupe is also working hard. Here comes a "ga tune", and there comes a "stairs upstairs", so the cheers come one after another.
After passing the formal theater, there are performers in front of you.
Shouting from the front, "There are foreigners!" or "The big girl has no clothes!" or even "The shameless father-in-law and his daughter-in-law are picking off the ashes!"
Then the crowd gathered around with a loud roar, and only then did they realize that they were performing tricks. Usually, they would do a few sets of business tricks first, such as the first visit to Guibao Land, etc., then practice one set, collect a round of money, and practice again.
After a few sets, I started selling medicine.
This routine has really remained unchanged for hundreds of years!
There are also people who sell medicinal wine. They train a few monkeys and get some snakes with their teeth pulled out. They perform a show first, then take out a live chicken, snap the legs off, then apply their medicinal wine, and then use it.
Wrap the tape around it, and then the chicken can walk away again.
Then he will take out all kinds of snakes and medicinal materials in his medicinal wine and show them to you.
Continuing to the west, there are storytellers, drummers, and Luozi singers, and people are noisy, and there are people selling candied haws on their backs.
