The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 963 Zhao's Tea House, Village Woman Zhao Pan'er
Drinking tea is also particular, it can be done in the morning or in the afternoon, but in the morning it is usually after breakfast.

Zhou Chen took Zhou Huai and walked out of the inn without taking a car.

Qiantang is just a small county, so it cannot be compared with the bustling Tokyo, but along the way, it is much more peaceful and peaceful than Tokyo.

After crossing a stone arch bridge, we arrived at our destination.

"Zhao's Tea Shop!"

Standing in front of the door plaque of Zhao's tea shop, Zhou Chen read slowly.

Although he had known Zhao Pan'er's Zhao's tea shop for a long time, it was in a TV series after all, but now, he himself is standing here, and the feeling is different.

Zhao's tea shop is next to the river, surrounded by wooden railings, similar to a small manor, simple but not luxurious, quiet and not noisy.

"My lord, this is Zhao's tea shop. I found out that not only the tea is fragrant here, but the pastries and pancakes are also delicious."

Seeing his master stop, Zhou Huai immediately introduced him to Zhou Chen.

"The door has been opened, it should be already open for business."

Without saying a word, Zhou Chen stepped forward and walked into Zhao's tea shop. Zhou Huai hurriedly followed with small steps, and followed closely behind.

There are two wooden houses in the courtyard. They are not magnificent at all, but simple pavilion buildings. There are many plants and flowers planted in the courtyard, which are filled with bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Stepping on the wooden ladder, Zhou Chen walked into the house.

In the kitchen on the west side of the house, two women were busy. After hearing footsteps, they both looked up.

When they saw someone coming in, they were surprised. There were usually no customers at this time, but they didn't expect that there would be guests just after the door opened today.

One of the younger women immediately put down the tool in her hand and walked quickly into the hall.

"Second guest officers, please come inside."

When Zhou Chen saw the woman, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Although the woman in front of her was only wearing ordinary clothes and didn't seriously put on makeup, she couldn't hide her elegant and refined face. But judging from her appearance, she was in the forefront among all the women Zhou Chen had met. One click, it will definitely go to the next level.

In an instant, Zhou Chen guessed that she was Zhao Pan'er, because Zhao's tea shop was her main business, and Sun Sanniang sold fruit cakes here. Song Yinzhang only came back once in a while, but he definitely wouldn't come so early.

Under Zhao Pan'er's guidance, Zhou Chen walked to the table by the river and sat down, while Zhou Huai stood behind Zhou Chen respectfully.

Seeing this, Zhao Pan'er was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses and asked softly, "Guest officer, won't you sit down?"

Zhou Huai immediately replied, "I won't sit down."

Zhou Chen said: "Sit down, you come to drink tea with me, how can you drink if you don't sit down?"

"Young master, how could I..."

"I tell you to sit, you sit, if you don't sit, you go back."

Zhou Huai didn't dare to refute, so he immediately walked to the seat opposite Zhou Chen and sat down, but he was very nervous, his body was tense, and he only dared to sit halfway.

Zhou Chen has long been used to it. After all, this is an ancient feudal society with dignity and inferiority. Without the master's order, the servants dare not sit down at all. Even if the master orders them to sit down, they will still be cautious.

This is a concept that has been present since birth, and it cannot be changed by you in a few words.

And Zhou Chen is not the kind of saint who talks about everyone being equal. He has traveled so many times, relying on his ability to adapt. He adapts to the environment instead of letting the environment adapt to him.

Traveling to ancient times, if you insist on holding modern thinking, making wind and rain in ancient times, and advocating equality for everyone, that is a stupid approach.

Do you really think you can fight the whole world by yourself?
Zhao Pan'er already knew that these two people must be a master and a servant, the older man with a firm and handsome face is the master, and the younger man with a humble face is the servant.

"Guest officers, this is your first time here. What would you like to drink? The tea and fruits we have here are all hung there."

Zhou Chen looked in the direction of Zhao Pan'er's finger. There were indeed a lot of wooden signs hanging there, but he didn't look over there.

"It is indeed our first time here. You are the shopkeeper's lady, so please recommend it to us."

Zhao Pan'er came with a smile on her face.

"We have many kinds of tea and fruits here. The tea includes Xieyuan tea, Qingfengsui, Lingyin Buddha tea, Longfeng tea, Zisu Yinzi... The fruit cakes include peach blossom fruit, candied fruit, raw fruit, dried fruit, preserved fruit... ..."

He said many kinds of tea and fruit cakes in one breath, without any rush, so that people could hear clearly.

"Two guests, what would you like to order?"

Zhou Chen asked, "Zhou Huai, what are you drinking?"

"My lord, I don't know much about tea, lady shopkeeper, just serve me a piece of loose tea."

"Okay, what about this guest officer?"

"Have a pot of the perilla primer you mentioned, and three servings of fruit cakes, you can decide what kind you want."

"Okay, please wait a moment for the two guests."

Zhao Pan'er turned around and returned to the kitchen, started to pack tools, and then told Sun Sanniang: "Sanniang, get three of your specialty fruit cakes."

"no problem."

Sun Sanniang wore an apron and looked curiously in Zhou Chen's direction.

"Pan'er, these two people are unfamiliar, why come to drink tea so early?"

Zhao Pan'er lowered her voice: "Sanniang, keep your voice down, they should be a pair of master and servant, that guest official has expensive clothes, extraordinary bearing, noble and majestic, he is either a son of a famous family or an official."

Sun Sanniang was shocked: "Really?"

Zhao Pan'er said: "It's not bad, but who they are, it doesn't matter to us, as long as we do our own work well."

After waiting for about half an incense stick, the tea and fruit cakes were served.

"Guest officers, here are the perilla primers, loose tea and fruit cakes you want, please use them slowly."

Zhou Huai didn't use his hands. He took a sip from the teacup carefully when he saw Zhou Chen holding it up.

"not bad."

He has lived for so many years and has also learned some tea arts, so he still has a certain level of tea tasting.

I picked up the fruit cake and ate two bites, and it was not bad. Although it was not as good as those high-quality fruit cakes in modern society, in this ancient time, it was considered to be of good taste.

It can be seen from the TV series that Zhao Paner's tea art and Sun Sanniang's cooking skills are both excellent. Later, when they came to Tokyo, they could quickly become famous and become bigger and stronger.

"Young master, book."

Zhou Huai handed the book to Zhou Chen in time.

Zhou Chen took the book and began to read it. The purpose of his coming to Qiantang was for Zhao Pan'er. Now that he saw Zhao Pan'er, he would naturally not leave easily.

It's just that he didn't go straight to make friends with Zhao Pan'er. At this time, Zhao Pan'er still has absolute confidence in Ouyang Xu. If he tries to tease Zhao Pan'er now, it will only arouse the other party's disgust, so he is not ready to act now. Talk about a familiar face.

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang stayed in the kitchen, and it was strange to see that Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen had no intention of leaving after drinking tea.

"Why don't they leave? They're still reading, are they going to stay forever?" Sun Sanniang looked surprised.

Zhao Pan'er said: "Just stay here. Our tea shop is originally a place for guests to drink tea and rest. It is also a kind of recognition for us that guests can rest here. I will make some tea and send it to them."

"I just hope that you can talk and do business again."

Zhao Paner smiled and went to make tea.

Zhou Chen was reading the book seriously, while Zhou Huai was a little restless. He still had the book on him, but he couldn't read it.

"If you don't want to sit down, just go out for a walk, don't scratch your head there."

Zhou Chen just glanced at him without raising his head, and said slowly.

Zhou Chen said embarrassingly: "That won't work, I still have to stay by the young master's side to serve, and I can't leave."

Zhou Chen said: "I didn't let you go far, you go and ask the lady in charge for a pot of tea, and pass it to Zhang Heng and Xue Wu outside the tea shop."

Zhou Huai was shocked and said: "Ah? Zhang Heng and Xue Wu are outside, did they come with us?"

"You are so alert and want to protect me. It seems that it is necessary to send you to the military camp to exercise in the future."

"Don't, my lord, my small body can't stand the drill of the army, I'm going to deliver tea now."

Zhou Huai is clever and quick-witted, but he is timid and dare not go to the military camp. His dream is to take over from his father and continue to be a housekeeper in the Zhongyonghou Mansion.

Seeing Zhou Huai running away in despair, Zhou Chen smiled and turned his attention to the book again.

Time passed by bit by bit, and his reading speed was not fast. After all, they are all ancient Chinese books now, which are different from modern Xiaobai Wen, which cannot read ten lines at a glance.

"Guest officer, this is the fruit tea we gave you, please taste it."

Hearing Zhao Pan'er's voice, Zhou Chen raised his head, and then looked at the fruit tea on the table.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, please."

It was almost noon when Zhou Chen called Zhou Huai to leave Zhao's tea shop.

But in the next few days, Zhou Chen would come to Zhao's tea shop to drink tea every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon, and would bring a book to read every time he drank tea.

So after a few days, I became acquainted with Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, and knew each other's names.

It was morning again that day, Zhou Chen was drinking tea and reading in the tea shop, while Zhou Huai ran outside to chat with the guard Zhang Heng and the others.

Because Zhou Chen was the only guest in the morning, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang stayed in the kitchen, but Sun Sanniang would raise her head to look at Zhou Chen from time to time, full of curiosity.

"Hey, Pan'er, it's already the sixth day. You said that this official Zhou comes here to drink tea every day. What is he trying to do? Are our tea and fruit cakes really that good?"

Zhao Pan'er smiled and said, "I don't know if my tea is good or not, but Sanniang's fruit cake is a must. Maybe that's why he came here."

"Ha ha."

Sun Sanniang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't laugh at me, I don't think he came for my fruit cake at all, but for you?"

Seeing Sun Sanniang's teasing eyes, Zhao Pan'er immediately said coquettishly: "Sanniang, don't make fun of me, I don't believe you can't see that this Zhou official is very personable, he doesn't look like a person from a small place like us , I’m just a country woman, how could people think about me?”

"Then maybe, Pan'er, you are so handsome and skilled, and you will be the wife of Jinshi in the future. Who may look down on whom?"

Sun Sanniang treats Zhao Pan'er as a neighbor for many years, but she loves her as a sister, and she also recognizes Zhao Pan'er's ability very much.

"What lady Jinshi? Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Pan'er pretended to be dissatisfied, but the corners of her mouth could not help but parted into a smile.

Sun Sanniang saw that her mouth was wrong, she chuckled, and picked up the prepared fruit on the table.

"This official Zhou has been praising us for several days in a row. I'm going to send him a few plates of fruit."

With that said, she picked up the plate and walked to where Zhou Chen was.

"Guard Zhou, this is the fruit I just made, you can try it."

Zhou Chen put down the book and said, "Ms. Sun's fruit is very good. If I go to Tokyo, it will definitely be very popular."

"Tokyo? Zhou Guanren has been to Tokyo?"

As soon as Zhou Chen mentioned Tokyo, Sun Sanniang's eyes lit up. The prosperity of Tokyo is famous all over the world. I don't know how many foreigners are eager to go to Tokyo to see and see. Although Sun Sanniang has never been there, I have heard of it. Naturally, I am also very yearning for Tokyo.

"Of course, not only have I been there, but I have also lived in it for more than ten years."

"Zhou Guanren is from Tokyo, from Tokyo?"

Sun Sanniang was even more surprised. In her eyes, Tokyo people were naturally superior to them, so her tone was full of surprise and envy.

"Is Tokyo very lively and prosperous, is there a lot of rich people, do you often see high-ranking officials and dignitaries when walking on the road? I also heard that Tokyo never turns off the lights at night, is it a city that never sleeps, is it true?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but Tokyo is indeed more prosperous than other state capitals. Miss Sun wants to go to Tokyo?"

Sun Sanniang looked forward to it: "I think I definitely think about it, but I don't think there is any hope in this life. I can only hope that my son will pass the Jinshi exam in the future and take me to Tokyo to experience it."

"Is it a Jinshi? Yes, it's a good thing to have great ambitions."

Zhou Chen praised, but thinking of Fu Zifang's performance in the original book, he felt that Sun Sanniang's idea was too naive. As for the white-eyed wolf temperament that the child showed when he was young, whether he can pass the exam is another matter. To recognize Sun Sanniang depends on whether Sun Sanniang is useful to him.

Sun Sanniang asked: "Mr. Zhou, I think you have an extraordinary bearing. You should also be a scholar. You have a reputation?"

"Ms. Sun has good eyesight. I have indeed studied for a few years, so I can be regarded as a little famous."

"That's right, let me just say, you look different from us, scholars can tell at a glance, Mr. Zhou, what is your fame? You must be more than a scholar?"

"Dazhong Xiangfu was born as a second-class Jinshi in the sixth year."

"A second-class Jinshi, is he also a Jinshi?"

Sun Sanniang looked puzzled, she only knew Jinshi, No. [-] scholar, No. [-], Tanhua and so on. As for the origin of first-class Jinshi and second-class Jinshi, she didn't understand at all.

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to explain, Zhao Pan'er who had already walked over said, "Sanniang, a second-class Jinshi is a Jinshi, and he is still a Jinshi with a relatively high ranking."

"Ah, is it so powerful? Isn't that the fame that Ouyang Xu has always hoped for?" Sun Sanniang turned pale with shock.

Zhao Pan'er showed helplessness, this third lady is good at everything, but this mouth is always out of control.

But now is not the time to think about this, she looked at Zhou Chen seriously again with a respectful attitude.

"Master Zhou, we didn't entertain you well before and didn't know your identity, please don't blame us."

　Mistakes will be corrected, there is something to do today, more tomorrow!
