Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money
Chapter 17: Ting'an Tea Shop
In the carriage, Zhenying asked curiously, "Miss, aren't we going back home?"
Shen Shen looked at the maid who had been with her since she was a child, and said in a light but cold voice: "Zhen Ying, remember, I will only say the following words once."
"I am the master and you are the servant. From now on, you should not answer any questions I say with rhetorical questions, and you should not make any opinions unless I ask for your opinion. I will only give you one order from now on."
"From now on, when you go out with me, no matter who asks you where I went, who I met, what I talked about, or what I did today, including my parents or my future husband, you can tell them where I went and who I met, but when it comes to the content of the conversation, you must reply: The young lady was talking to someone else in the house, and I was waiting at the door, so I didn't hear what the young lady said."
"Of course, I know that you have many doubts about my recent words and deeds. I will tell you clearly now that I am Shen Shenshen, the second legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. Since I am your master, you only need to obey." After saying that, he looked at her with cold eyes: "You, are you hiding something from me? Now I will give you a chance to confess."
Zhenying was shocked by the aura emanating from Shen Shenshen. She knew that the young lady was giving her a chance to choose.
Shen Shenshen continued: "For example, when I was murdered and fell, did you see anyone?"
Zhenying bit her lower lip slightly and said, "I...didn't see anyone doing anything bad to the Second Young Lady."
"Oh, really?" Shen Shen sneered softly: "I will believe you for now. You can tell every word I said today to the Marquis or the Madam, or even the concubine in the mansion. But, I can guarantee." Shen Shen looked at the personal maid calmly and said in a deep voice: "People who gossip around me will not have a good end."
Zhenying lowered her head silently.
Shen Shen ignored her and continued to lean against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed.
Ting'an Tea Shop is the fifth shop south of Zhuque Street, on the same street as Yinhelou. The fact that a shop can be opened in Zhuque Street, the most central and prosperous area in the capital, shows that the owner behind the shop is definitely wealthy or noble.
The group soon arrived at Ting'an Tea House. The waiter at the door was very considerate. When he saw the carriage of the Shen Mansion from a distance, he came to greet it and shouted, "I wonder which lady from the Marquis' Mansion is here to visit us. It's really a great honor for our small shop."
Zhenying lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first, saying to the waiter, "This is the second young lady of our Marquis' Mansion." Shen Shenshen also got out of the carriage soon after.
Doing business in the capital, all the well-known shops have already inquired about the family backgrounds of the rich and powerful. Upon hearing Zhenying's introduction, the servant immediately bowed and saluted: "Hello, Miss Shen Er. Welcome to Ting'an Tea Shop, Miss Shen Er. Please come in. If you have any questions about tea or other instructions, please feel free to tell us. We will meet your needs anytime and anywhere."
Shen Shenshen listened to his welcome speech, and felt that it sounded both distant and familiar. She nodded to the waiter, "No need to be polite," and walked into the teahouse.
The tea shop is only one floor, but the area is very large, and the whole decoration is antique. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the rich aroma of tea. The tea leaves are arranged in a staggered manner and neatly classified. In ancient times, a shop was half successful if it was clean and tidy. It can be seen that the owner behind it has a talent for business.
The entire teahouse was divided into two areas. The smaller area had four round tables, each with six stools, which seemed to be a place for customers to sit and taste tea. In the middle of the larger area was a large solid wood table, which was piled with various types of tea in paper bags. The bags were open, and the price of a pound of tea was written directly on the tea leaves.
There were many large ceramic teacups neatly placed on the floor, and many tea racks on the four walls filled with tea cakes and tea bags. Two waiters were busy sorting the tea leaves.
Wait. Shen Shenshen suddenly became suspicious. The shop owner's operation was too much like her sales routine in her previous life: serving Haidilao, Starbucks in the tea tasting area, and selling in supermarkets.
Could it be... that he also traveled through time?
As it was close to noon, there were not many customers in the store, with only a few people coming to look at and buy tea. In the tea tasting area, there was a table with four guests sitting there, tasting tea and chatting from time to time.
After looking around, Shen Shenshen collected his thoughts and walked to the tea-selling area of the tea shop to carefully look at the tea leaves on sale. The shopkeeper Liu had already stood by and waited for instructions.
A tea shop that big on the main street must have a wide variety of teas at all price ranges. She looked at them carefully with great interest.
Because she was a gold medal salesperson for fund products before traveling through time, her mind was always spinning rapidly to calculate the returns and risks of customers, and she especially needed to be refreshed, so coffee and tea were her favorite daily drinks. After traveling through time, she came into contact with the tea picking and tea making process in this world, which was completely pollution-free, and purely natural artificial fermentation and production, which made her love drinking tea even more.
Shen Shen was thinking about how to achieve her goal today. She calmly picked up various varieties of tea and smelled them, then asked Shopkeeper Liu. She pretended to walk to the side of the Lan Guiren tea leaves, picked up a few leaves and smelled them. She did not smell any strange smell, and asked, "Shopkeeper Liu, what is the age of this Long Tongue tea?"
Manager Liu was about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance. He wore a long blue gown, but the fabric was high-quality, and one could tell at a glance that he came from a wealthy family. Shen Shen saw that his fingernails were trimmed very short, but there were still some tea residues in his fingernails, and it seemed that he was a person who did things by himself.
"Miss Shen, this batch of tea is new tea that came on the market in the peach month of this year, so the tea flavor you smell now is relatively strong. I remember that Madam Liu from your courtyard seemed to have just come to buy some. Does Miss Shen need some more today?"
"Oh, Manager Liu knows Aunt Liu?"
"I know her, and she's very familiar with her." Shopkeeper Liu answered enthusiastically, "Mammy comes to buy tea about once every thirty days, and she also told us to keep the new tea that looks good and is particularly fragrant for later use. She always takes it, saying that the master likes it very much. I guess the master that Mammy Liu is talking about is Miss Shen Er."
Shen Shen nodded: "How much does Aunt Liu buy every time she comes?"
"About one or two pounds each time. Not too much, probably the amount you normally drink. I don't know if the Second Miss is asking this..."
Shen Shenshen smiled and said, "I happened to pass by today, so I wanted to see if the servants' accounts and purchase quantities are true."
It turned out that the young lady in the mansion wanted to learn how to manage accounts. Upon hearing this answer, Manager Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but this small action was keenly captured by Shen Shenshen.
Shen Shen struck while the iron was hot: "Manager Liu, I will buy some ginseng and dragon tongue today."
"Excuse me, Miss Shen, are you drinking this for yourself or giving it to someone else?"
"What? Do I have to inform Manager Liu if anyone drinks this tea?" Shen Shenshen's face darkened.
