Journey To the World of Film and Television

The preparation time for the tea house was very short, so Zhao Pan'er put a lot of thought into the decoration.

The painting and calligraphy vases, the ink screen, and Sun Sanniang are crooked, more like plaques written by children, and they seem casual yet refined and elegant.

Wooden signs with various tea names hung above the hall, like wind chimes swaying, for customers to choose from. Zhao Paner heard that He Si ordered a pot of perilla drink, grinded the tea powder, and walked gracefully among the customers , a graceful back, the teapot hangs high, the clear and sweet tea falls into the teacup in front of He Si like a mountain spring, the tea powder rolls and disperses without any splash.

"Look, everyone, the silver dragon enters the sea."

Zhao Paner's dazzling skills attracted everyone's praise, He Si took advantage of the situation to heat up the atmosphere, stood up, and booed to the surrounding guests, "Hey, the tea in Jiangnan is different, the fruit is delicious, and the tea is delicious , people are still beautiful, everyone said, don’t they~!”

"Yes~" "Yes~" "Yes~"

The friends He Si brought to join him responded one after another, inciting other customers in the store to follow suit and applaud.

"Little Pan'er's business here is good~~" Hongkui looked at Zhao Pan'er's busy figure, showing a 'kind and kind' smile, "I left the Six Realms to take the demon star, but I didn't see Xiao Linger growing up. It looks like getting married, and now seeing Xiao Paner's tea house successfully opened, I suddenly feel a sense of relief that I feel sorry for."

"It's a pity that you're sorry, it's obviously an old mother's mentality." Zhou Ji shook his head, his eyes swept over He Si who was constantly stirring up the atmosphere, and suddenly moved his eyes to the door, and found that Si Teng was also looking there.

"When did a tea house open here? It looks so lively, and there is music playing, why don't we go in and have a cup of tea?"

"I can't afford it~ I can't drink it~~ You can see that the shop is so beautiful, it must be very expensive."

Two passers-by in coarse clothes hesitated and passed by the door of the teahouse.

After a while, several peddlers with pack horses passed by the tea house, chatted a few words, but still did not come in.

Perhaps it was just an example, but some new guests came one after another. Most of these people came after hearing the sound of Song Yinzhang's pipa, and their clothes were better than those of the peddlers on the street.

Although the business is booming, Zhou Ji always feels that something is wrong, but today Zhao Paner’s tea shop has just opened, and he can’t use his baseless assumptions to pour cold water on others, so he called her over while Song Yinzhang finished playing a pipa, Ask the passers-by on Ma Xing Street what kind of attire they usually wear.

Song Yinzhang was at a loss, and asked three questions. Zhou Ji had no choice but to ask her to remind Zhao Pan'er to pay more attention to the pedestrians and customers on the street. Ever since he was rescued, Song Yinzhang has been fascinated by Zhou Ji. He obediently complied with Zhou Ji down.

When she was busy, Zhao Paner took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and noticed that Song Yinzhang was talking to Zhou Ji and Si Teng, so she came here with a plate of tea fruit.

"Young Master Zhou, Miss Si Teng, and Miss Xiaokui, I'm so sorry, I was too busy to entertain you just now, and I'm so sorry for neglecting you all."

After the tea was over, and seeing more and more guests, Zhou Ji and Zhao Paner said some polite words, excused that there was something to do in the teahouse, and left. Zhao Paner stayed politely and sent the three out of the door together with Song Yinzhang.

Looking at the figure of Si Teng going away, Zhao Pan'er sighed. Although the reason why she opened the tea house at first was the paranoid and competitive nature aroused by Si Teng, but since she started preparing for the tea house a few days ago, she found that in her The moment she picked up the abacus and the teapot, the grievances and anger that had been lingering in her heart suddenly began to gradually dissipate.

"Miss Boss, have another pot of Naxi plum tea."

"Okay~" Zhao Pan'er heard the guest ordering tea, and responded loudly, then turned around and went back to the tea house to continue working.

A few days passed in a flash.

Song Yinzhang ran between Zhao's tea shop, Jiaofang Division and theatrical troupe every day, seeing the business of the tea shop taking a sharp turn for the worse and getting deserted day by day, but there was nothing he could do.

If she plays the pipa in the tea shop, she can attract more customers, but a large tea house can't be supported by only one or two scattered tourists, right?

Hongkui was also very worried about Zhao Pan'er's situation, so she discussed with Song Yinzhang, dragged Zhou Ji to Ma Xing Street again, and asked him to help find a solution.

Although Zhao Pan'er was a little dissatisfied, she wanted to know the reason for the sudden drop in business.

Tea cakes can be stored for some time, but the fruit cannot be left overnight. The fruit made the night before cannot be eaten the next night.

Sun Sanniang came from a poor background, and was the worst person to waste food. Every time she saw the large amount of fruit left, she burst into tears of distress.

Zhou Ji had no choice but to explain that the streets here are different from those in Qiantang, and many of them are divided according to business.

People in Tokyo have known since they were young that to buy raw medicines in Pharmacy Lane, to buy horse pangs in Mahang Street, and to drink tea, they have to go to Cha Tang Lane.

When they opened, it coincided with the Taoist ritual ceremony near Mahang Street, and there were many pilgrims, so the business was naturally good.

But the only people who come and go in this street on weekdays are horse dealers.

It takes too much effort to grind, brew, adjust, and rub tea. Except for literati, few people are willing to drink it. In comparison, loose tea is fast and cheap, which is their favorite.

Zhao Pan'er pursed her lips tightly. After listening to the silence for a long time, she suppressed the frustration in her heart and forced a smile: "Is Mr. Zhou also from Tokyo? How do you know this?"

Zhou Ji took a deep look at Zhao Pan'er, and said softly, "Si Teng told me all this."

"she!"

Kokui's eyes widened, showing an incredulous expression.

"Anxiety often comes from the unknown, and self-confidence does not mean recklessness."

Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and said with a quiet expression, "Whenever she comes into contact with a strange world, she will keep calm, observe secretly, keep quiet, and study hard, and this learning ability is also the source of her self-confidence."

When Si Teng woke up, facing the technological era seventy years later, he did not act rashly. Instead, through continuous observation and learning. Grab the TV remote control with him, and gradually understand and adapt to modern society.

It wasn't long before Zhao Pan'er first came to the capital, and she opened a shop hastily without even investigating the basic situation of the capital.

Just when Zhao Pan'er was shaken, a peddler in a hurry walked into the store, found an empty seat and sat down, and said loudly: "Boss, this bowl of tea is really like tea!"

It was rare for a guest to come, so Zhao Paner braced himself up, took out the tea set and said, "Okay, please sit down for a while, I'm here to grind tea!"

The guest became anxious when he heard this, "Nian Cha? I'm leaving soon, how can I spend so much time waiting? Just order a bowl of loose tea!"

Zhao Pan'er was still thinking about Zhou Ji's words in her mind, and when the movement of grinding the tea stopped, it seemed to be half a beat slow, and she raised her eyes and said, "loose tea?"

The guest was obviously a little impatient, and looked at Zhao Pan'er suspiciously, "You don't even know how to make loose tea? Put the tea in a bowl, and the hot water will be finished soon."

"have."

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was still in a daze, Zhou Ji couldn't help shaking his head, greeted the guests, and took out a tea bowl and put it on the tray.

Although there was no exchange of words, Song Yinzhang looked up at Zhou Ji, found out the tea pot tacitly, divided the tea, poured water, and walked towards the man with the tray.

Is this still 'tea'? This is too perfunctory

Sun Sanniang looked suspicious, and she was already ready for the guests to get angry and apologize.

However, the customer took the tea and blew on the heat, took a few sips regardless of the boiling water, and before Song Yinzhang could walk back to the counter, he dropped the tea money and got up and said goodbye.

"Thank you, the tea is good."

"This..." Sun Sanniang was completely shocked.

Not only she was shocked, but also Zhao Pan'er who was standing there blankly.

Just as she persuaded Song Yinzhang that "it's different to be a pipa instructor, and traffickers and pawns are not worthy of listening to her pipa", Zhao Pan'er has her own reserve and aloofness towards the "tea ceremony" from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking back to the customers of the tea shop these days, Zhao Pan'er had to admit that most of them were traveling merchants. These merchants who were in a hurry could seldom calm down to enjoy the tea art. If they mainly sold loose tea, even if the business could improve a little, But it must be beyond our means.

After all, there are few customers in Ma Xing Street, coupled with the low profit of loose tea, Sanniang's fruit can't be sold. Wait! Thin profit. Thin profit

A flash of light flashed in Zhao Pan'er's mind, as if he had caught something.

If there are few customers, then don’t do the business of pawnbrokers, and if the profit is thin, then raise the price, and use Song Yinzhang’s name to attract literati, merchants and wealthy people, just earn their money!

Zhou Ji saw that the light in Zhao Pan'er's eyes was shining again. Although he didn't know what kind of evil idea she was thinking, but from Zhao Pan'er's eyes that kept sneaking at Song Yinzhang, he vaguely felt that it must have something to do with this resentful sister.

Sure enough, knowing that Song Yinzhang had just played the pipa for Princess Qian a few days ago, Zhao Pan'er immediately decided to close the shop for renovation, and make a fuss about Song Yinzhang's teahouse business.

What is changing the name, decorating the elegant room, and only playing three songs a day? Zhou Ji heard Zhao Paner's tossing about these things from Song Yinzhang, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Yinzhang, you want to be the signboard of the tea house?" , then the news about you in Leji will definitely spread, can you stand it?"

"I can bear it!" Song Yinzhang raised his head stubbornly, "It doesn't matter if you lose money or someone looks down on me, you must keep the tea house open! I will tell them openly that I am the color of Jiaofang's pipa. Long! Even if someone recognizes me and mentions the old things between me and Zhou She in Huating County, I don't care! I will tell them that I can't blame me for being bitten by a vicious dog! I was born as a Leji, not me wrong!"

"It's still a bit of progress."

Hearing this, Si Teng couldn't help but look at Song Yinzhang more, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, "It's just that the momentum is a little weak."

Zhao Pan'er is in full swing preparing for the new store "Half-Hiding", attracting students from Jinghua Academy to do publicity, while the theater troupe prepared by Zhou Ji and Si Teng finally takes shape.

More than half a month, from forming a theater troupe to rehearsing a play, the time is still a bit tight after all, Zhou Ji first dispersed the storytellers under him, scattered in the city to talk about "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", fabricated the names of the dynasties but made up with the big Song Bianjing is specious.

Because Zhou Ji had had a cordial and friendly exchange with Lin Lingsu from the Shenxiao sect, there was this "National Teacher" in the court, and no officials dared to play tricks and disrupt the arrangement.

Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner, but Zhao Pan'er unknowingly caused a new trouble.

Not long after the opening of 'Half Covered Mask', Yu Zhongquan, who regarded Gu Qianfan as a thorn in his flesh, colluded with Xiao Xiang's son in the imperial city department, and planned to drag Gu Qianfan into the water with Zhao Pan'er.

On this day, the half-hidden face was still full of people. As soon as Zhao Paner opened the tent door of the tea house, the tea guests who had already lined up outside rushed into the tea house.

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang were busy all the time. When it was time to keep accounts at noon, Zhao Pan'er took out the key and took out the account book locked in the cabinet, and suddenly felt that the account book was wrong.

The half-hidden guests came for Song Yinzhang, and after the three songs were played, the tea house guests gradually left.

Yu Zhongquan, who had been standing outside the street for a long time, waved his hand, and all his subordinates rushed into the tea house like a storm.

Zhao Pan'er was startled, looked at these strangers dressed as imperial officials, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"The Secretary of the Imperial City was ordered to apprehend the spies of the enemy country." Yu Zhongquan walked into the gate boldly. said coldly.

"A spy from the enemy country?" Zhao Pan'er frowned slightly, and looked outside the door. He is also the Secretary of the Imperial City. It stands to reason that Gu Qianfan should have asked Chen Lian to send someone to protect him. Why is there no movement?

Yu Zhongquan went straight to the desk, took out a note written in a foreign language from the middle of an account book, and said loudly: "

Here is the proof! take away! "

"Sister Pan'er!"

Song Yinzhang was resting in the elegant room, heard the movement outside and came out quickly, but only saw Zhao Pan'er being taken away, so he hurriedly chased out, Sun Sanniang was shopping outside, saw Song Yinzhang running in a hurry, and quickly stopped her, Ask her what happened.

Knowing that Zhao Pan'er was taken away, Sun Sanniang frowned slightly and guessed, "Is it from the Gao family?"

"I don't know." Song Yinzhang shook his head and said anxiously, "No, he's from the Imperial City Division."

"Why are the people from the Imperial City Department arresting her?" Sun Sanniang felt a little bad, and put the vegetable basket in her hand to Song Yinzhang and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to Chen Lian right now, and if I find him, I can find Gu Qianfan, Gu Qianfan You must know what's going on, you go back to the store first."

"Go back to the store? No, no!" Song Yinzhang took the vegetable basket and was pushed away by Sun Sanniang a few steps. He recovered from his panic and hurriedly said, "I'm going to find Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou must have a solution."

"The Huangcheng Division's arrest must be related to Gu Qianfan. What's the use of you looking for Mr. Zhou? Hey, forget it, you go first, we will split up." Sun Sanniang knew that the situation was urgent, so she turned around and left.

Song Yinzhang completely forgot to put down the basket, and ran quickly in another direction.

(Suddenly found that I missed a slot, the most disgusting sentence "The value of a person is self-reliance. If you ask Gu Qianfan for everything, then what is the difference from a slave?" This paragraph should be written in the front and make complaints about it Yes, but due to the reduction of Gu Qianfan's role, I missed writing it, and I will find a chance to make it up later.)
