Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth embarrassed to refuse(2/2)
The waiter and the saucer looked at Li Xin and secretly admired him.
In fact, they have already studied and understood that these dignitaries are most concerned about face. As long as they are brought to the teahouse and they say a few words, they will not stand up and leave.
Even if you don't want to drink tea, you still have to order a cup to show that you are not short of money.
Moreover, when a dignitary orders tea, he cannot order the cheapest one, as that would be too shameful. Instead, order a cup of medium-to-high quality tea.
Unexpectedly, a person with such a thick skin came today and refused directly.
This man is truly a disgrace among nobles.
So the waiter gave up on Li Xin and looked at Li Shui with a smile on his face: "My lord, have you chosen yet?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "I don't want to drink tea."
When Li Xin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he regretted it: Yes, just now I just said that I didn't want to drink tea. Why did I say it was too expensive? Brother Huai is still smart. He can refuse, and
Can save face.
But Li Xin didn't know that the courtiers were all complaining in their hearts: They were afraid of the price because they were afraid of it. It was even more embarrassing to say that they didn't want to drink it and to hide it. It was not as good as Li Xin's uprightness.
The guy was a little surprised, but he still smiled professionally: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
He was about to turn around and leave.
Li Shui then said, "Does Qing Shui need money here?"
The waiter was stunned and stammered: "Qing Shui naturally doesn't want money..."
Li Shui hummed: "I'm a little thirsty, just give me a free glass of water."
Guy: "..."
The courtiers looked at Li Shui dumbfounded: Huaiguzi, you gave me a new understanding of the word shameless.
And Li Xin looked at Li Shui with admiration: Brother Huai is so cheeky that even I can't match him.
After sighing in his heart, Li Xin immediately made amends and said to the waiter: "I am also a little thirsty and want a free pot of water."
Guy: "..."
He looked at the faces of Li Shui and Li Xin carefully, and then remembered them in his mind.
"These two are really noble people? They can't be scoundrels who sneaked in, right? Well, it's not a waste of time to meet such people." The man sighed in his heart.
Not long after, the waiter came up with a tea cup.
As soon as he came in, Li Shui smelled the fragrance of tea, which was similar to what he would smell in later generations.
I haven't seen this thing for a long time.
Li Shui was a little emotional.
The waiter brought the tea and placed it in front of everyone's tables one by one. Then he placed two pots of water in front of Li Shui and Li Xin.
He couldn't help but be very surprised when he found that the faces of these two people were as usual, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Chunyu Yue and others were looking at the tea in front of them in a daze, not knowing how to drink it.
Li Shui was also stretching his neck, looking at Chun Yuyue's tea in a daze.
Is this tea? Are you sure it’s not porridge?
Isn't this tea a little too strong?
Yes, it seems that the ancients did drink tea this way, and it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that they began to make tea.
Chunyu Yue glanced at Li Shui and said calmly: "If Mr. Huai is really eager for this tea, you might as well buy a cup yourself. Anyway, your family has a huge fortune, so you can afford it."
Li Shuigan laughed: "Ten thousand dollars a cup, I can't afford it, I really can't afford it."
Li Shui said he couldn't afford to drink, but his expression clearly said: I don't want to be taken advantage of.
For a moment, all the courtiers present felt that they had been hurt twice.
Only Ying Zheng was relatively calm. Regardless of whether the tea was expensive or not, he just thought he was supporting Fu Yao.
You don't need to guess to know that there are so many merchants and shops in Yiqu City, it must be Fu Yao's handiwork. If you support the merchants, you are giving Fu Yao face.
The saucer seemed to know that everyone did not know how to drink tea, so he took the initiative to pick up the cup, smelled it first, then took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
The courtiers followed suit and took a sip.
Later, they all felt it tasted good.
After drinking this product into your mouth, there is a slight bitterness at first, but as you taste it for a long time, the bitterness subsides and turns into a refreshing fragrance.
After drinking it, I can hardly feel the bitterness at all, I just feel the freshness between my lips and teeth.
Chunyu Yue nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Yes, yes. This thing is bitter first and then sweet. Just like in life, when you are young, you are not afraid of hard work and read poems and books diligently. When you are old, you can enjoy it."
Sweet."
Mr. Fusu was also full of praise: "Drinking this thing regularly will definitely make you noble."
The waiter and the saucer were both dumbfounded: drinking tea can make people become noble people?
However, complaining in his heart, Sauter quietly took out a pen and paper and wrote down these few words. Maybe they will be used when introducing the teahouse in the future.
Other courtiers also praised the tea.
Many people even said that this tea is definitely not expensive at 10,000 yuan a cup.
Of course, I didn't really say this to praise the tea. I just wanted to prove that I was not taken advantage of and that the money was well spent.
Some people even wanted to show off to Li Shui and Li Xin.
