The magistrate Jiang took a few sips of water and said, "The water in your house is sweeter than the one you've ever drank. I don't know if it's because of the chrysanthemum or if the water is different." After a pause, the magistrate Jiang said: " I'm the same age as Ishii, but I'm a few months older than Ishii, so in private, you two can call me Big Brother Kangning."

"Sir?" Both of them were surprised.

Jiang Kangning, however, showed a hint of shame and said, "Yun An, Ishii, I won't go around in circles with you two anymore. I came here today to ask for something."

Jiang Kangning had already lowered his stance, and Shao Yunan said: "Brother Kangning, don't say anything else, you just made the decision for my young brother. If you have any requests, just ask, don't say anything." You are willing to let Brother Jing and I call you 'big brother', aren't we also willing to regard Brother Jing and me as your brothers? What's the matter?

Jiang Kangning was a little hard to say, and clenched his teeth. He gritted his teeth: "Yunan, Ishii, can you sell me the recipe for your jam? Don't worry, I won't sell it in Yongxiu County."

Shao Yunan blinked, surprised, and Wang Shijing was stunned. Jiang Kangning sighed and said, "I know that my request is embarrassing you, and I also know that you have signed a contract with the Zhao family. But I heard that although Yizhangxuan also sold the jam to the capital, it was The quantity is low, and they can't even guarantee the quantity of the Nanfu. My brother is doing business in the capital, and he is not as good as the owner behind Shangzhangxuan. I just want to find a business that can make money for him. His life is worry-free. I also only let my brother do business in the capital, and won't compete with Yizhangxuan for business."

Shao Yunan still blinked, Jiang Kangning immediately said again: "If it is really embarrassing, you two will treat me as not mentioning this. I also know that my request is really embarrassing."

Shao Yunan instantly returned to his senses: "No, it's not an embarrassment, Brother Kangning, don't misunderstand. In fact, the deed I signed with Uncle Lizheng's family stated that I still hold the ownership of the recipe. It does not affect Uncle Lizheng. On the premise of a family business, I can still sell it to another family."

Jiang Kangning immediately looked shocked: "Can you sell it to me? I heard that the Zhao family spent three hundred taels of silver to buy your recipe, and I will pay five hundred taels."

Shao Yunan was dumbfounded for a moment: "Brother Kangning, don't be in a hurry. This jam looks really profitable now, but if everyone does more research, sooner or later others will make it. I think the owner of Yizhangxuan is not a fool, I I don’t believe that he didn’t find someone to study this jam recipe. In fact, this jam can only be regarded as a small business, and in terms of craftsmanship, it is not as good as this chrysanthemum tea.”

Jiang Kangning smiled: "Then are you going to sell me the recipe for this chrysanthemum tea?"

"No." Shao Yunan grinned, "It's a recipe that makes more money than jam and chrysanthemum tea. If you don't make a lot of money, why does Brother Kangding need this small money?"

Jiang Kangning raised his eyebrows, his eyes glowing: "Why don't you tell me soon?"

"Ha ha."

Shao Yunan looked at Wang Shijing: "Brother Jing, I'm in trouble."

Wang Shijing knew what he wanted, so he got off the kang and went to get it for him. Shao Yunan said, "Brother Kangning, it's such a coincidence that you're here today. It happened that you were there for Brother Qing's incident. I'm going to talk about this business next time. I'm also worried about finding the right cooperation. To be honest, I don't want everything to pass through Yizhangxuan. It's not a good thing for me in the long run. Pillow, this is a coincidence, Mrs.

Jiang Kangning was completely intrigued, and feigned anger: "Just tell me what it is, don't sell it, be careful that this official will reward you with your board."

"Hey, isn't it 'Big Brother Corning'?"

"...you ah you."

Wang Shijing first brought the tea set and tea tray, and then brought a jar of Longjing. After Wang Shijing was seated, Shao Yunan first boiled water and said, "I wonder if Brother Kangning knows that I have been collecting tea from everywhere a while ago. write."

"Slightly heard."

"I'll let Big Brother Kangning taste the tea I made now. You can see if my tea can be a big business."

Jiang Kangning restrained his expression.

After the water was boiled, Shao Yunan scooped out the tea leaves, Jiang Kangning's expression changed slightly as soon as the tea leaves came out. Scooping the tea into the tea lotus, Shao Yunan handed it over: "Brother Kangning, have you heard it."

Jiang Kangning smelled the tea lotus, and his expression changed even more: "Is this tea?"

"Indeed. I named it Longjing, which is green tea."

Jiang Kangning is also a person who has drunk good tea, but it was the first time that he smelled such a fragrant tea, and he was immediately cautious. Shao Yunan put a certain amount of tea leaves in three blue-and-white porcelain tea bowls, and said, "I have four types of Longjing tea: special, first, second and third. I am making first-class tea for you, Brother Kangning. The reason why I didn’t get the special grade tea is that the taste of the special grade tea is not as good as that of the first grade tea, but it is better than the genuine one.

Jiang Kangning nodded seriously.

Shao Yunan waited patiently for the water to boil, and explained how to brew Longjing tea. Just as he demonstrated that day, in front of Jiang Kangning, he once again demonstrated the brewing method of Longjing tea. When Jiang Kangning saw the tea leaves in the cup slowly swirl, and then the tea became green, his heart pounded.

Putting down the teapot, Shao Yunan made a request: "Tea is the most simple, but there is no drink that can compete for beauty and favor. The beauty of tea is not only reflected in the tip of the tongue, but also in the charm. Smell the fragrance of tea, taste it Looking at the taste of tea, enjoying the rhythm of tea, inviting three or five friends, by the side of the Qushui, a cup of clear tea goes down the water, stopped in front of someone, whoever picks it up and tastes it, Lang Lang's poem blurts out, and it is a picture of Qushui flowing. It's a good tea party with friends, but just thinking about it like this makes me feel unbearable."

Jiang Kangning seemed to have a picture of water flowing in front of him. He picked up the tea bowl, flipped the tea lid lightly twice, and took a slow sip. When the fragrant tea entered his mouth, Jiang Kangning was even a little dizzy, and the joy from his taste buds rushed to his forehead and then to his limbs.

Shao Yunan blinked: "Brother Kangning, what's up, with this tricky gimmick, this tea should be a big seller."

Jiang Kangning, who was still enjoying in the spiritual realm, was immediately smashed by a strong philistine spirit. He put down the cup and got angry: "You really waste this good tea!"

Shao Yunan touched his nose: "I make tea just to make money. If I have that feeling, I can go to the Imperial College in the capital."

"You!" Jiang Kangning was very angry at his sloppy appearance.

Shao Yunan smiled roguely and asked again, "How about it, Brother Kang Ning, isn't my tea good, I dare to say that my tea is definitely the only one in Dayan Kingdom."

Jiang Kangning took a deep breath, suppressed the beautiful scenery that was destroyed by Shao Yunan, and said, "It is indeed the only one. I have also drank a lot of so-called good tea, but compared with your tea, it is unbearable in retrospect. already."

Shao Yunan: "I don't have much tea in my hand. In fact, selling it to the capital is the most profitable. It just so happens that your brother is doing business in the capital, so it's better." Then he hesitated and said, "It's not that I'm boasting, this thing only needs Business-minded people can see the value in this. I'm worried, can you cover your big brother? I don't want to cause you unnecessary trouble. That's why I don't dare to look for Yizhangxuan One, earning money is important, and safety is more important.”

Jiang Kangning asked, "Have you ever given this tea to someone else?"

"No. My family of four drank it, and the children won't talk nonsense."

Jiang Kangning praised Shao Yunan's prudence and said, "I don't need to worry about my brother's business. Although my brother's business is not doing well, I have my teacher: Zhuang Jingcheng to help, so no one would dare to embarrass him, my teacher. He was the emperor of the two dynasties, the old master Weng, and he was also the dean of the Imperial College in the capital."

"Wow!" Shao Yunan adored, "Sir, you really don't show your face!"

If Wang Shijing wasn't there, Jiang Kangning would definitely give Shao Yunan a shudder.

"The tutor has always been upright and honest. I am his student. I want to protect the reputation of the tutor. How can I make it public? I don't agree with myself that I can become an official because of the tutor."

"understand."

Shao Yunan immediately straightened his expression: "Brother Kangning, I still have a business, the reason why I haven't brought the tea to you to taste is not because I want to hide it, but because the time for that business hasn't come yet, I wanted to go with that business. brought to you."

"What is it?"

"Wine. I use goat's milk fruit, which is red sour fruit wine."

"wine?"

"Yes, fruit wine. Does Brother Corning know about wine?"

Jiang Kangning nodded: "I have drank it. There are many good things from my teacher. I often steal it, but it is not very good."

"Cough cough..." This kind of thing need not be said.

Shao Yunan took a sip of tea and said, "The fruit wine I brewed will definitely be delicious. But it's not yet time for Kaifeng, and it will take about ten days. I want to bring it to you along with the fruit wine and tea. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.”

Jiang Kangning said: "I believe your brewing must be different. But Yun An, are you sure you want to give this tea to my brother? My brother's business is limited to the capital. Although I have a tutor, it is my own business. In private affairs, it is not easy to always ask a tutor for help, but the owner of Yizhangxuan is different. The big owner of Yizhangxuan is the second son of the Wei family of the Hengyuan Houfu in the capital, and his business is very big. It can be said that Dayan has his family's business everywhere. If you cooperate with him, you will definitely earn more than if you cooperate with me."

Shao Yunan was unmoved, and only said one sentence: "No matter how big his business is, I don't know him. I just know you, brother Kang Ning. "

Jiang Kangning was moved by Shao Yunan's unthinking, he took a deep breath: "You and Ishii call me eldest brother directly. This 'Kangning' eldest brother, I'm tired of hearing it."

Shao Yunan immediately climbed down the pole: "Big brother!" He secretly poked Wang Shijing, and Wang Shijing shouted "big brother" in a muffled voice. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell that Jiang Kangning is older than him. Jiang Kangning seems to have seen Wang Shijing's doubts and said, "Wei brother is twenty-six this year, and he was born in March."

Wang Shijing was also twenty-six, born in July, and indeed younger than Jiang Kangning.

Shao Yunan: "You are so young."

"Haha." Jiang Kangning smiled, "It's just that he looks immortal." But his heart is very old.

Shao Yunan did not ask more questions, but continued the topic just now and said: "Brother, whether it is jam or chrysanthemum tea, including my tea and fruit wine, it will never be in the hands of only one or a few people. , One day, these crafts will spread and become the norm. At that time, it will be up to whoever can sell it and sell it well.

For Dayan Kingdom, this is actually a good thing. There are many people in the meeting, and the competition is fierce. The competition is fierce. Everyone will rack their brains to do better. The entire industry will form a virtuous circle. If this craft and recipe are always kept in the hands of a few people, it will become a monopoly. No one can compete with it. Over time, things will only get worse and worse, which is a vicious circle for the development of the entire industry. "

"I also don't think that my tea-making skills can only be left in my hands, and I will teach them in the future. What I want to do is, no matter how many people can make tea, the tea I make is the best tasting tea. Well, all of them are highly sought after. It's like opening a tavern. There are thousands of wines in the world, and only a few famous ones. As long as I can guarantee the quality of my own tea, I don't have to worry about not having buyers. He Chou can't sell it at a good price, so is tea, so is wine."

Jiang Kangning listened very seriously, Shao Yunan's remarks caused a great wave in his heart, while Wang Shijing looked at his daughter-in-law with all his attention, and felt that her daughter-in-law was so dazzling at the moment.

"So as long as I can guarantee my quality, it doesn't matter who I cooperate with. I know you, eldest brother, but I don't know the second son. I think eldest brother can always be a backer for my family, so I want to cooperate with eldest brother. ."

Jiang Kangning's Adam's apple moved, not at all angry that Shao Yunan asked him to be the backer of straightforwardness, but was very heartened.
