C3988 Beautiful Tea

Not daring to say anything, a shining Dragon Mark Silver Dollar was handed over. The stiff wharf worker immediately smiled, he tightly held onto the silver dollar and used his warmth to heat up his heart.

Jiangnan's economy had indeed recovered quite a bit in the past few years, but it was not to the extent that normal people could earn silver dollar s. The amount these wharf s could earn everyday was only fifty to sixty percent, barely enough to fill their stomach!

If he had the money, he would have the guts to say it, he said carefully, looking left and right. The Translation also whispered, and the cause and effect of the battle became clear.

The original reason was a hundred catties of tea leaves. More specifically, a hundred catties of top-grade scholar tea leaves!

Of course he knew about the tea leaves that Sampson drank a lot. Furthermore, he wasn't like ordinary British who knew about black tea. There were many different categories of tea leaves in China.

But after searching through all the memories in his head, he still didn't know what this scholar tea was.

Today could be said to be an eye-opener. So, tea with a scholar was made by a bunch of poor and exquisite acid scholars who had eaten their fill. Of course, they were definitely rich and sour scholars!

The fat Guo Master was a High Scholar, he was born at the edge of the Taihu Lake in Jiangsu province, and because he avoided war, he fled to the Shanghai to buy an industrial house!

Because their family was rich, and the storehouse had a lot of money on hand.

After the war ended, he bribed the high officials of Xiang Jun, and very quickly used the land deed to find his home, and paid a small price to rob a large amount of ownerless land!

Now that High Scholar Guo was near Tai Lake Cave Mountain, he was also a Landlord with a thousand plate on him. Adding on the assets owned by the Upper Beach, he was indeed an extremely rich family, and ordinary people would need to give him some face, even if he was a government!

Originally, Shanghai Road had a good relationship with him, but ten days ago, he had a falling out over some tea leaves!

In order to obtain the Grand marriage of the Tongzhi Emperor, the entire nation began to search for rare treasures as a collective operation. Gold and silver jade artifacts, antique calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and silk … Lacquer furniture and Western treasures!

There were all sorts of things that could be enjoyed with food and clothing!

Many Official s wanted to find their own existence in this great gift to make Kaiser remember them, so they racked their brains to think of a way!

The Shanghai Road Stage had somehow found out that there was a Baby in the Guo Family's house. It was actually a type of tea that scholarly people loved the most, it was called lip tea!

One of the most popular tea leaves by the shore of Dongting Lake is called Jade Spiral Spring, which is commonly known as "frightening and fragrant". This kind of tea was a type of green tea, and what one drank was a refreshing feeling!

So before dawn, Blue Spring was much more expensive than before the rain, and this High Scholar Guo had hired a large number of young, beautiful Girl s before the dawn, so he had to be a virgin!

These Girl s would go to their own tea mountains and use their mouths to pick the most tender sprouts. They would gather them together for a hype and during the process, not a single man would be allowed to touch it.

This kind of tea was called lip tea. As it was a popular specialty among the literary circle, it was also called scholar tea. It was a very small variety!

There were countless tea mountains in the house of High Scholar Guo, they had hired hundreds of Girl s to pick them, but in this year, the production of this kind of mouth-tea was only around one hundred catties, there was not much left of it in the circle of scholars!

The Shanghai Road Stage knew that it had this kind of good thing, and immediately had thoughts of offering it. He took the initiative to contact High Scholar Guo to buy this batch of lips tea!

Who knew that this Fatty Guo was actually so stubborn, refusing to admit that he had a Baby. In exactly ten days, the Shanghai Road had requested for many connections, but they just could not buy it!

This angered government, and made him extremely determined to get the set of tea leaves. He actually colluded with some local ruffian to falsely accuse this Guo High Scholar of selling opium!

The Tin s of the Dao Tai Palace had the right to search around, and Fatty Guo had a wide network of contacts. Naturally, the Friends s would send urgent messages, this fatty was truly a merciful man, even if he did not want his life, he still wanted the tea leaves!

He immediately sent people to move the money and tea leaves over, attempting to secretly send them on the boat, to hide in Friends's home for a while.

He did not expect that Shanghai Road would trigger countless local ruffians and had already surrounded his house. When there was first movement this morning, they immediately sent Tin to surround the freighter.

He did not expect that there would be such legendary tea leaves in this world, and the was actually mobilizing the whole country for the sake of the Kaiser s … What good news material!

At this time, the High Scholar freighter had already been occupied by the Tin, and the crying Fatty Guo was thrown aside. He gritted his teeth and said that he wanted to go and complain to them, to the Capital to seek redress from them!

The leading Tin sneered as he brought a whole box of India's hooves from the cabin and threw it in front of him. Look at this, what is this? It was copied from your boat.

"This is framing! This thing is not from my boat, you are framing me! "

"Enough, stop roaring …" You are also from the High Scholar, so you are familiar with government affairs! "When you were in your hometown, you took away other people's land. You didn't do many black-hearted things …"

"Stop messing around, think of a way to atone for your sins! Look, it's obviously about the tea leaves … "We have to fight until we lose all decorum …"

"Hehe …" Prepare the silver s to save yourself! "

In the end, the precious scholar tea was stolen and confiscated. Simpson watched as High Scholar Guo and his men were escorted towards the yamen. He had nothing to say, and could do nothing about it.

Of course, as a traveller who had just entered the China for the first time, he would obviously not care about these idle matters!

Aside from a sigh, today's news could only be considered a brilliant article in the news Newspapers!

Walking in the Shanghai, at this time the area managed by the Qing Dynasty was still called Songjiang Prefecture. Simpson could truly feel the efforts the Empire had made on behalf of the Emperor Grand marriage of the!

The local officials went from shop to shop to collect taxes, all of these were new taxes that exceeded ordinary taxes, called pro-government taxes, even the smallest department store would have to collect a silver dollar!

As for the restaurants, silk house s and porcelain shops, they charged sixty to thirty yuan depending on the size of the shop!

It was as if every service had a ruler in their heart. When they arrived at the Shop, they would naturally report the amount, and the Shop would not dare to haggle, so they could only obediently pay for it!

"God! Don't these people have proof of tax collection? A tax on hollow white teeth? "

His friend laughed bitterly: "This is the east, this is Empire Qing! What rules... These people like to follow the unwritten rules. Before service came to collect taxes, he had already discussed this with these store's Owner! "

"If you are willing to bribe these service s, you can pay 10 yuan and 20 yuan. If you are not willing to bribe them, I'm afraid 70 yuan and 80 yuan is not enough!"

"God bless us, luckily our He De is managing the customs in this Country, if not it would be impossible to do business here!"
