Chapter 59: Disputes in the Capital
In the study of the Feng Mansion in the capital, Old Man Feng and the head of the Feng family looked at the guards kneeling on the ground and the four large backpacks with a look of shock on their faces.
"What do you say this is?" Old Feng pointed at the backpack on the ground and was so excited that he almost couldn't sit still.
The guard was a little confused. This was already very common in the Liu Mansion a few months ago. Why was the old master so excited? But he quickly replied, "This is the new tea roasted by Miss Mei this year. The two baskets contain Maojian and Cuimei harvested before the Qingming Festival. Miss said that because the seasonal timeliness of tea is very strong, there are only three days and these are the newest and tenderest buds, so the quantity is relatively small. The other two baskets are Maojian and Cuimei before the rain. It is said that they have a different taste..."
...
"Boss, quickly go get a few more tea bowls and bring a kettle of boiling water." Old Feng couldn't wait for the guard to finish his words, so he hurriedly called for the head of the Feng family to bring bowls and water.
Soon, the head of the Feng family personally brought over a dozen tea bowls. The old butler of the Feng family followed in with a pot of water in his right hand and a letter in his left hand. When he saw the people kneeling on the ground and the four large backpacks, he was also surprised: "Master, what is this?"
"Haha, old buddy, you've come at the right time. This is the new tea roasted by Xiang Yatou that was sent from Liuzhou Prefecture. It is said that it is different from the ones on the market now, so it's a good time to try them together. Hey, you quickly get up and open the backpack for us to see." While talking to Butler Feng, Old Feng ordered the guards who were still kneeling on the ground to get up.
When the three saw what was inside the four opened backpacks, they were stunned. Are these green leaves tea leaves? Isn't tea leaves a dark tea cake or tea foam? When they saw the leaves and buds swirling in the clear tea soup, the fragrant tea aroma filled their noses. They took a sip and then slowly slid down their throats and into their stomachs, leaving a long and sweet aftertaste.
Four kinds of tea with four different flavors. Elder Feng was the first to come to his senses: "Are these four kinds of tea four varieties?"
"I heard from Chief Chen that there should be two varieties. Miss Mei has only found these two varieties in the back mountain. The only difference is the time of picking and the frying process, so the tastes are different. Well, this Maojian was just discovered this year and is being fried for the first time. I'm not sure about the other details." The guard who delivered the letter thought about it again and again before reporting.
After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, then looked at the four baskets on the ground and then turned their eyes to the unopened letter on the table. With the unification of Haoyue, people's lives gradually settled down, and tea also entered the homes of ordinary people.
So how much change will this small leaf bring to the Haoyue Dynasty? The three people in the Feng Mansion study dare not imagine.
"Quick, quick, send someone to invite the other three old guys to the old place quickly." Old Feng ordered the Feng family head in a deep voice. He turned around and saw the letter that Old Feng housekeeper had been holding tightly in his left hand and asked again: "Whose letter is that in your hand?"
The old housekeeper then realized that he still had the letter in his hand, and immediately handed it to Old Feng with both hands: "The eldest young master just had someone send it back."
"He is always causing trouble but is incapable of doing anything. The second brother's family is becoming more and more useless! If he messes up this time, I will show you how I will deal with him." Old Feng opened the letter and glanced at it before shouting angrily.
After taking the letter and reading it, the head of the Feng family sighed helplessly. He was speechless about his younger brother's family. They were unaware of their incompetence, especially his younger brother's wife, who showed her petty nature to the fullest. The key point was that she had passed this habit on to her children.
"Let's finish this first. We'll discuss Azhen's matter when we come back." Old Feng sighed and said, then he pulled himself together, grabbed the unopened letter on the table, and walked out of the study.
The head of the Feng family picked up two backpacks on the ground, ordered the guards to carry the other two, followed his father's footsteps, stepped out of the study room, and whispered to the guards nearby: "Guard the study room well, no one is allowed to enter."
In the capital city of Wangjing, deep inside the study room of the seemingly inconspicuous house from the outside, four old men and four middle-aged men gathered together again.
"Mr. Feng, what happened that made you rush us here? I was just about to go out for something." The most impatient old master Situ couldn't help but yelled when he saw Mr. Feng sitting at the table. The old master Situ, who followed him in, shook his head helplessly. The older his father got, the more impatient he became.
"I've met Elder Feng and Brother Feng."
Elder Feng signaled him to sit down without formalities, and the head of the Feng family ordered someone to bring a bowl of tea, "Si Tu, don't be in a hurry to sit down and have some tea. We'll talk about it after Elder Huang and Elder Chu arrive." Elder Feng looked at Si Tu indifferently as he drank the tea, then lowered his head to look at the dark tea in front of him. After drinking the tea brought by Xiang'er, he really couldn't eat the bowl of tea on the table.
After a while, Wang Huang and his son and Chu Lao and his son entered the gate of the ancestral hall one after another. After everyone greeted each other, Old Feng also asked them to drink the tea on the table first.
"Okay, okay, tell me what's the matter. I've already drunk two big bowls of tea." When the old master Situ saw that everyone was present, he started shouting anxiously again.
Elder Feng did not answer him directly but kept him in suspense: "What do you think of the tea you are drinking now?"
"What else can we do? We've been drinking this for most of our lives." Everyone looked at Old Feng in bewilderment. Old Chu was the one who reacted quickly. He looked at Old Feng with a mysterious expression and asked, "Old Feng, is this tea bowl the reason you came here today? Did Xiaoxiang write to us?"
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being Old Chu. Boss, quickly bring those four backpacks in to let others broaden their horizons!"
The head of the Feng family could not wait to ask the guard from Liuzhou Prefecture to bring in the backpack, along with more than twenty tea bowls and two pots of boiling water.
"Come, come, come and see the new tea leaves that Xiaoxiang has made," Elder Feng called everyone to the front of the four baskets, and pointed at the guard and ordered, "Repeat in detail what you said in the Feng Mansion, and think about what you missed and tell us all."
The guard had never seen such a big scene before. Others might not see one person in their lifetime, but this time he saw it all at once. He knelt on the ground and tried hard to control his trembling body. He took a deep breath and went over what he was going to say three times in his mind to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions, and then repeated it in detail one by one.
"Do you mean that these are four kinds of tea produced from two different tea trees?" After listening, Wang Huang asked the question in his mind first.
"My Lord, this is what Chief Chen ordered." The guard reported in a deep voice.
