When people arrive, the show begins.

Ouyang Kang always felt that even if his father-in-law couldn't see it, his eyes were three points brighter than those who were discerning.

Maybe it’s all the best. Anyway, Young Master Ouyang can understand the love story of his wife, and he can understand the father-in-law’s eyes without a teacher.

Mu Shaoqin passed by a glance, and he immediately started to work hard, and had a good time with Ji Longfeng and the big tea merchants, and showed off his face in a good manner and talked about serious matters.

According to their usual business practices, the three tea merchants took out more than 20 portions of tea of ​​different specifications and quality, ordered people to soak them one by one, and sent them to Mu Shaoqin and others. After they tasted them, they decided whether to buy them or how much to buy.

To be honest, Ouyang Kang could not taste such a detailed difference in his general pros and cons, so he simply shut up. However, Ji Longfeng, who claimed to be unaware of tea, had quite some tricks.

"Although I can't taste good or bad, I'm lucky that my nose is okay. Tea leaves say that spring water and autumn fragrance are fragrant. Then these lighter portions should be spring tea, and those with strong aromas should be autumn tea, right?"

Several tea merchants nodded repeatedly when they heard this, "Of course, Mr. Long has good eyesight, that's exactly what it is."

Unexpectedly, Mu Shaoqin smiled indifferently, raised his slender and fair fingers and accurately picked up a cup of tea that was classified as spring tea by Ji Longfeng. "The bosses are not kind. This is clearly autumn tea from two years ago. Because it dissipates the fragrance, it pretends to be spring tea. Is it a test for us?"

The tea merchant who provided the cup of tea suddenly changed his color. Because Mu Shaoqin claimed that his surname was Shao, he said, "Master Shao, how can you say that? We make tea. How can you be so insincere?"

Mu Shaoqin smiled slightly and gently put down the cup of tea, "Do you guys really want me to tell me?"

His eyes swept across the tea merchants as much as they were. The three tea merchants all frightened and suddenly felt cold all over their bodies.

Mu Shaoqin didn't bother them, but suddenly asked the onlookers, "Was it raining a lot in the summer two years ago? It should be a heavy rain?"

An old man in his fifties said in surprise, "How do you know? Two years ago, there was a heavy rain here. Although there was no major disaster in the whole two days and two nights, many fields and crops were destroyed at that time."

Mu Shaoqin chuckled, "No wonder, this cup of autumn tea has insufficient fragrance and is filled with the summer rain. In fact, the cellar is right. But it shouldn't be the method. It not only ruins the tea leaves, but also destroys its reputation."

Several tea merchants looked at each other and couldn't sit still.

Every industry has some unspoken rules. For example, when the spring tea production is too high in a certain year, they will collectively be reluctant to sell it. They will raise the high prices in previous years and then sell it slowly.

When rain affects the quality of autumn tea, they will use the excuse of insufficient yield as an excuse to pick some top-notch and sell them at high prices. Then smoke the remaining tea, increase the fragrance and then use it as a good one, or store it in a cellar, and wait for the taste to be lighter. Then sell it as spring tea.

In short, there are so many things, you must use them all.

Because the tea leaves have similar tastes, few people can taste these subtle differences, so after making them for a long time, they almost forgot about these loopholes.

A tea dealer stood up and said, "Mr. Shao, what credentials do you have for saying this? If not, wouldn't it be an insult to our entire Xianyuan Mountain?"

The hat is quite big, but it's just right!

Ouyang Kang snorted lightly and slapped twice. Tong Chaoyi immediately took the people to lift a large box from behind.

The box was opened and it contained all kinds of tea leaves from the shops under the names of these three tea merchants. Each one was just one box and two taels, but it was marked by the three shop signs, and the accounts that the store showed when purchasing were absolutely undeniable.

Ouyang Kang smiled a little sinisterly, "A few bosses, I am a person who doesn't understand tea, but my father-in-law is addicted to tea. I heard that your Xianyuan comes from good tea, so my son-in-law, naturally I must be filial and buy some good tea for him to taste. However, none of the teas I bought in your entire Xianyuan can catch my father-in-law's eyes, and there are many fakes used as inferior products. Fortunately, my father-in-law is magnanimous and does not care about my recklessness, but are you afraid of destroying the reputation of the entire Xianyuan Mountain?"

This is Ouyang Kang's plan before. If the Lingzhou officials are determined to embezzle to the end, then he will simply destroy the reputation of Lingzhou tea!

This tea tax cannot be paid to the emperor, and you can't die.

As for the method, it is too easy. Framed and spread rumors. Anyway, Ouyang Kang is supported by the Emperor's Shangfang sword. He believes that even if the Emperor knows, he will acquiesce.

Wait until this chain of interests is completely interrupted and then packed up again, the emperor will take the initiative and the problem of tea tax will be solved.

But this method is good, but it is a bit too ruthless, and Mu Shaoqin did not agree.

As a senior tea friend, he decided to help his son-in-law complete this attack in a more gentle and elegant way.

So at this moment, everyone present saw him smiling lightly, "My son-in-law is young, irritable, and anxious. He only knew that I love tea, so he pulled all the house back regardless of it. Of course, he said that there is no good tea in Xianyuan Mountain, which is too arbitrary. However, some of the tea leaves here are really not very good."

After a brief pause, he smiled even more humblely, "Don't think I'm too straightforward. Although I haven't been drinking tea for a long time, I have tasted a few good teas thanks to my ancestors' kindness. If you don't accept it, can you fight me? If you lose, our father-in-law and son-in-law will naturally apologize to you."

The faces of the three big tea merchants changed, and even the faces of the onlookers changed.

It is indeed difficult to have a clear certificate for the quality of tea, so at this time, the words of experts are very important. How should the value of experts be reflected?

Tea fighting is undoubtedly the most intuitive and simplest competition among people in the tea ceremony.

Mu Shaoqin said humbly on the surface. If he loses, he will take back his words and admit his mistake to Xianyuan Mountain. But what if he wins? Do you still have the reputation of the entire Xianyuan Mountain? What should these thousands of people who depend on tea to live?

Ji Longfeng made a conclusion that neither the father-in-law nor the son-in-law are good things! But he had to admit that this trick was really cruel and beautiful enough to remove the firewood from the cauldron.

As for Mu Shaoqin, if you dare to propose to fight tea with others, how can you get worse?

Just seeing him posing the silver rabbit-haired tea cup, the people onlookers became uproar.

Then he took out a box of tea with goose yellow paper and didn't care at all. He saw that it was a royal item. No matter how elegant and comfortable it was, he could easily reach the highest level of white and bright soup and blooming soup. Who dared to come forward to fight him? Who dared to force him to take back his previous words?

The three tea merchants sat there with pale faces, and cold sweat spread out from their foreheads.

When a master fights, he doesn’t need to be a bloody storm. He just smiles and can kill the enemy invisibly.

The reputation of Xianyuan Mountain tea was completely destroyed.

The Danlu Peak is not high. Nianfu and his daughter couldn't climb for a while, so they had already reached the top. They had been playing on the top of the mountain for a while, and pulled out weeds and wild flowers and weaved a pair of bracelets and banded them down.

Nian Fu excitedly woven himself to the bracelet for Ouyang Kang, "Look, I made it up, isn't it good? We each one."

Hui Niang was not reserved, so she put what she made up for Mu Shaoqin on her left hand, "It smells so good!"

Ouyang Kang looked at the delicate and tight bracelet of his mother-in-law, simple and generous bracelet, and then looked at the rough and loose bracelet on his hands, but covered with wild flowers, and whispered in his wife's ear, "You are much more beautiful than your mother!"

You have a vision! The young wife was proud, "Have you finished the talk? Let's go back to have a meal after the talk. I'm hungry."

Mu Shaoqin smiled pamperedly, "Let's go now."

He took out the silk parfait from his sleeve and handed it to Huiniang, and then brought the cup of tea he had just brewed to her, silently praising her.

Hui Niang took the silk parfait with satisfaction and wiped the sweat. She drank the cup of tea again, "Let's go. Masters, say goodbye. Let's go to the restaurant today and find something delicious."

OK OK OK Nianfu actively cooperated, "I want to have dessert. I see if there is any good here. I didn't turn around and let Ayao cook a pot of sweet soup."

...

Mu Shaoqin suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "Mr. Long, are you going together?"

Ji Longfeng smiled a little far-fetchedly, "No need, your family can do it at your own expense. It is a blessing to be able to see Mr. Shao's tea art today."

Mu Shaoqin nodded calmly and turned around and left.

He is blind, but it does not mean that he can't even feel that other men covet his wife. But he won't give him this opportunity, absolutely not!

In the evening that day, before dark, the tea-fighting of Danlu Peak had spread throughout Xianyuan Mountain.

Chai Rong, who had just arrived in Xianyuan Town, heard this bad news before he could even wash away all the dust.

"Silly!" Chai Rong was so angry that he wanted to slam the table. "Since you knew he was King Ping, you would be foolishly using this trap! It's good now. If you can't find someone who can beat him down, how will you end?"

The tea business in Lingzhou accounts for nearly 20% of the Chai family's business, which is also a very important branch for their huge business. Especially this tea business is both light and easy to make money, and it will be really distressing if it is broken like this.

More importantly, Chai Rong saw from this incident that the emperor was trying to rectify taxes.

If the Lingzhou tea tax is really done, then the emperor will definitely gradually clear all taxes as well. The Chai family will probably lose all the business lines opened in the troubled times, so for the Chai family, the loss will be too great. So no matter what, he must not succeed!

The magistrate of Xianyuan Mountain had already changed into casual clothes to meet him, and said with a sad face, "...Ping Wang showed such a skill, and no one in Xianyuan Mountain dared to fight with him. Young Master Chai, you should go outside to invite a master. Otherwise, if King Ping left, this stigma would never be washed away."
