After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will soon be the National Day holiday.

Jiang Shi has three days to rest, and the teahouse is quite busy during the holidays.She plans to visit grandma in those few days.Just a few days ago, Ni Ran said that all the custom-made tea sets had been cooked.

You can take it to the teahouse.

"Is all three sets ok?"

"Well, it's all good."

It was said earlier that the finished product would be available in about a month, but the coloring in the middle was rather cumbersome, and Ni Ran had other works to make, so it was a little later.

The first two sets came out first, and the last set took a long time.

Because the last set has changed its creative thinking, instead of using blue as the main color, it has been replaced with white porcelain.White porcelain refers to the plain white porcelain that has no or only a very small amount of coloring agent in the glaze, the green body is glazed, and it is fired in a kiln with a high-temperature flame.

During the production process, Ni Ran did not adjust the glaze properly at first, and the finished product did not have the expected effect.I had to do it again from casting to glazing, and I had to wait another half a month.

The tea in the white porcelain cup mural is "Qingcheng Xueya".

It is also one of the varieties of green tea, produced in Qingcheng Mountain, Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province.

Its quality characteristics are: "The rope is beautiful and slightly curved, the pekoe is exposed, the fragrance is high and the taste is refreshing, and the green soup is clear and bright."

With white porcelain, it is more obvious.

Jiang Shi couldn't wait to go to Ni Ran's studio to see the finished product. Ni Ran said, "No rush, I'll send it to you later."

"Can you take it all by yourself?"

"It's fine."

Jiang Shi was waiting for Ni Ran to come in the teahouse.

It just so happened that she planned to tell her about going to grandma's house today.

When Ni Ran came, she took four sets of finished products.

Jiang Shi was puzzled: "Didn't we order three sets in our store? Why..."

Ni Ran said with a smile: "There is another set, I gave it to your store. I kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay, it's custom made." Jiang Shi didn't know that she was so polite, and didn't tell her in advance.

This set of works by Ni Ran was also made in time.

She didn't tell Jiang Shi, if Jiang Shi knew, he would definitely not let her do it.

Originally, she gave it to the store at the cost price, but now that it is ready, she has to pay for it and make another set.

"But I just want to give it to your store." Ni Ran said in a low voice while no one was watching.

When the tea artisans in the store heard that the custom-made tea set had arrived, they all gathered around to see the finished product.

Ni Ran packed all the tea sets in log-colored boxes, and each set was very delicate.And it is a style that cannot be bought in the market.

After seeing the finished product, the tea masters couldn't help but praise:

"It's so beautiful."

"Yes. It looks better than the previous styles in our store, and it looks very textured."

"In the future, using this tea set to make tea will feel more comfortable."

"Boss Ni, you are also a wonderful wife."

Ni Ran nodded slightly: "It's good that everyone likes it. The other set is given to you in the store by me personally. Well, it's for private use by the shop assistants."

After the words fell, his eyes still leaned on Jiang Shi unconsciously.

Oh.

It turned out to be delivered to the store.

In fact, I want to give it to someone personally.

The tea masters and sisters covered their mouths and smiled: "Thank you, Boss Ni, you must come to our teahouse often in the future."

"no problem."

It's past seven o'clock in the evening, and there are a few scattered customers in the store.

Jiang Shi couldn't leave at this time, and one of the tea masters asked very insightfully: "Why don't Boss Ni have a pot of tea first?"

Ni Ran replied without thinking, "Okay."

"Sister Jiang, you should go clubbing. I'll go to the bathroom."

The tea artisan in the store didn't know the relationship between the two, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ni Ran's gaze was off to nowhere.

Ni Ran tried her best to keep herself calm: "Then there is trouble with Sister Jiang?"

Jiang Shi deliberately glanced at her, and said with a bit of teasing in his tone, "Boss Ni, you're welcome."

In fact, Ni Ran felt that she was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to ask more.She knew she must be thinking about the tea set that was given as a gift.

"Actually, it's not difficult to make tea sets. I do it easily." Jiang Shi sat in front of her and began to warm the cup.Ni Ran explained in a low voice.

"Did I say that I cared about the tea set you gave me?" Jiang Shi snorted softly, "Anyway, I'll just transfer the money to you later."

"Don't do that."

"You originally charged the cost price, and now you have to give away a set. Wouldn't it be a loss?"

"But this is for your store, how can it be called a loss."

Jiang Shi didn't speak.

Ni Ran said again: "Besides, I'm not short of money."

It's a bit of Versailles, but it's also telling the truth.

Jiang Shi didn't respond.

"Okay. I want you to use the tea set I made to make tea when you are resting."

"Then I can buy it too." Jiang Shi raised his eyes, looked at her and said, "I will be very burdened if you are like this. And I didn't say anything, and didn't tell me in advance."

Although she can get the moon first, Ni Ran is also willing to do some works for her.But Jiang Shi also saw her sitting from morning to evening in order to complete a painting.I have also seen her, and she was annoyed for a long time in the face of the burnt works.

She knows that each of her works has actually spent a lot of thought.

"Okay. I know I was wrong. I will tell you in advance what to do next time."

Jiang Shi had already brewed a pot of tea, divided the cups and placed them in front of her. Looking at her sincere eyes, she suddenly didn't mind that much.

"Well, let's have a quick drink and look at the recently arrived "Dongting Biluochun".

"it is good!"

Ni Ran frowned suddenly.

He picked up the teacup with both hands and took a sip.

"Delicious!"

"Where does this Dongting Biluochun tea come from? Is it near Dongting Lake?"

Ni Ran took a sip and asked.

Jiang Shi replied: "It can be said that 'Dongting Biluochun' is mainly produced in the east of Taihu Lake, West Dongting Mountain and nearby tea areas in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is a famous historical tea, created in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties."

"Oh. It has quite a long history."

"Yes."

"Then its production process is similar to other teas?"

"It's a little different."

"for example?"

"Picking Biluochun must be picked early, tender, and picked cleanly. The characteristics of frying are that you can't leave the tea with your hands, and the tea can't leave the pot. Stir-frying during kneading, kneading during frying, and a combination of kneading and kneading. Yes. The production process is greening, kneading, kneading, and finally drying."

"It sounds troublesome."

"That's why it's called famous tea."

"What about the taste?"

"You just drank it, how do you feel?"

Ni Ran took another sip, then smelled it, paused, and said, "It's a little fragrant."

Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Well, that's right. It's the fragrance."

"The quality characteristics of Biluochun are a bit similar to the 'Qingcheng Xueya' you painted on the white porcelain, because they are all green tea varieties. The shape is slender, covered with downy hairs, curled like snails. Silver green hidden emerald, pekoe exposed It tastes fragrant and long-lasting, the taste is fresh and refreshing, and the aftertaste is long and mellow."

"Look at the tea soup again, it's green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves is soft and even."

Ni Ran took a closer look at the tea leaves and tea soup that sank at the bottom of the cup.

Sure enough, as Jiang Shi said, the green is clear and the bottom of the leaves is soft and even.

"So lovely."

"Yes."

Jiang Shi also looked at the past together: "Sometimes looking at the dried tea leaves, slowly stretching, and finally sinking to the bottom of the cup, it feels like seeing life."

"Nalan Xingde once wrote a poem called "Huanxisha". It was written for his deceased wife."

Jiang Shi read slowly: "Who thinks that the west wind is cool alone, the windows are closed and the yellow leaves are rustling, and the setting sun is standing in meditation on the past. Don't be surprised by the wine, and the spring sleeps heavily, and the gambling and books fade away with the fragrance of tea. It was only normal at that time."

Ni Ran listened intently.

Nalan Xingde's words had been learned in high school textbooks before, but Ni Ran didn't listen carefully when the teacher was lecturing.Now from Jiang Shi's mouth, Ni Ran actually felt a little sad.

"Maybe in the end, everything is just ordinary."

Jiang Zhi smiled lightly.

Ni Ran was noncommittal.

Although in the end, it's normal to go straight.

But they can also live every day well.

Ni Ran sat in the teahouse until Jiang Shi got off work.

The two walked back to the residence together.

Ni Ran said that the family made tremella lotus seed soup.

Last time Jiang Shi drank tremella and lotus seed soup made by her mother at Ni Ran's house and said he liked it very much.Ni Ran immediately asked her mother for the secret of tremella and lotus seed soup. After returning, she began to study how to make delicious tremella and lotus seed soup.

On the way back, the two chatted.

Ni Ran asked her if she had ever thought about opening another store by herself.

"Why are you asking so suddenly?"

Ni Ran shook her head: "I just feel that you are quite tired working here, why not open a teahouse by yourself."

"But if you only open a teahouse, you will definitely not be able to make a living. So, is it possible to improve it and build a milk tea shop like 'Cha Yan Yue Se'?"

Ni Ran suddenly thought so too.

Seeing that she knew so much about tea, she ended up making tea in a teahouse.Then she had to engage in sales, and felt that she hadn't played the role she had learned.

Might as well think of new ways of marketing.

Jiang Shi thinks quite simply, she just makes tea when she makes tea.

I haven't thought deeply about what Ni Ran said.

Ni Ran expressed his thoughts: "We didn't go to the hotel town of Taicun last time. I think if we go there to open a teahouse, we will also sell tea from Jianghu, and then we will also sell it similar to milk tea. Yes. But we're going to have something special."

"For example, we can hand-paint all kinds of tea leaves on the side of the cup of milk tea. It can be used as a popularization of tea culture."

"If it's in the store, I can definitely handle the tea set."

"Well, this is my preliminary idea, and it may not be mature. But I think it will be more free. Moreover, it is also something you like to do."

A customer came to the store this evening and asked Jiang Shi to make tea.

Jiang Shi has been asked to laugh with her all the time, and during this period, some customers would joke that if she had a good laugh, they would buy the tea recommended by her.

Ni Ran felt very uncomfortable watching it at the time.

But also know that it is her job.

During the 10 minutes when she left, Ni Ran kept thinking whether there was any other possibility for Jiang Shi to do what she liked without having to do what she did now.

All she could think of was to open her own shop.

Jiang Shi thought about opening a teahouse.

But I never thought of combining it with a milk tea shop.

She paused and replied, "Let me think about it."

Ni Ran was not in a hurry, and nodded: "Yeah."

"Anyway, I'm always behind you."
