Chapter 400
"This place is not bad!" Bai Ning sighed sincerely.
"Haha, this little brother really has a good eye!" Lao Huang was a little proud when he heard Bai Ning praised this courtyard, no matter how big the boss was, he would praise his courtyard when he came in.
"My courtyard is the residence of a downcast prince in the previous dynasty! There are three courtyards in total, and there is a small warehouse behind the third courtyard. It is really not easy to get this courtyard. I have remodeled the entire courtyard. I found the design drawings at that time and invited ancient architects to restore it, which was completely built according to the prince's mansion at that time."
"The first courtyard was transformed into a garden, the second courtyard is a place for eating, and the third courtyard is a place for sleeping and resting. There are also several small rooms for the staff here. Renovation When it’s over, it’s what we see now.”
"Didn't the courtyards in the former prince's mansion be taken back by the government? Why did they fall into private hands?" Bai Ning had also heard about the courtyards, so he was more curious about what Huang Shunfa did. To such a prince's mansion.
"That's a long story!" Huang Shunfa led the way, walked into the second courtyard, and said to everyone: "The prince who lived here at that time was a down-and-out prince who was not favored. He didn't live near the root of the imperial city like other princes, and lived a little far away from the imperial city. Later, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this prince ran away with money and sold the yard to the then A businessman sold such a large house for a few hundred taels of silver."
"Later, after the businessman passed away, his prodigal son ruined all his property and became insolvent, so he used this yard to repay the debt, and it happened to be repaid to my father. My father bought it for tens of thousands of dollars at that time. After buying this courtyard house, the government allowed the private transaction of the courtyard house at that time. Now it is not allowed.”
"Then I used this courtyard to open such a restaurant, specially entertaining big bosses like Mr. Yun and some official figures!"
"So that's it!" Bai Ning nodded. This courtyard house, which was bought for tens of thousands of dollars at the time, is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How many times should this be multiplied!
Listening to Huang Shunfa's story, several people came into the room and sat down.The interior of this room is also decorated in an antique style, really like the feeling of having dinner with the prince's family in the prince's mansion.
Not to mention Bai Ning, even Ye Chuxia has never been to such a place, today the two of them have opened their eyes!
"Old Huang, I'll trouble you to arrange it!" Huangfu Yun said to Huang Shunfa.
"It's easy to talk, let's have some tea first! The food will be served in a while." Huang Shunfa brought a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed to everyone, and after pouring the tea for everyone, he retreated, probably to prepare the food. .
"Drink tea, try this tea!" Huangfu Yun motioned to the two of them, and took the lead to pick up the tea and drink it.
Bai Ning and Ye Chuxia also raised their teacups.
Bai Ning picked up the wine glass, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and he knew in his heart that this is Mingqian Longjing!
Sure enough, the tea served is good, with such a big handwriting, the real Mingqian Longjing, maybe only here can have such a big handwriting!
When Huang Shunfa brought this cup of tea just now, Bai Ning could smell a fresh fragrance, and knew that this tea was not ordinary, it was not comparable to ordinary tea.
"Good tea!" Bai Ning couldn't help sighing after taking a sip of the tea.
"Oh? Xiaobai also knows how to tea?" Huangfuyun asked Bai Ning.
"Understand a little." Bai Ning nodded to Huangfu Yun.
"Hehe, then tell me, what kind of tea is this?" Of course Huangfu Yun knew what kind of tea it was, but he just deliberately tested Bai Ning to see if Bai Ning pretended to understand or if he really had some knowledge.
"Dragon well before tomorrow!" Bai Ning blurted out without thinking.
"Then Xiaobai, can you tell me what Mingqian Longjing is?" Huangfuyun didn't say whether it was right or wrong, but asked Bai Ning to explain what Mingqian Longjing was.
But Ye Chuxia knew from Huangfu Yun's performance that Bai Ning was right, there was no problem.
"Mingqian Longjing, as the name suggests, refers to the Longjing tea that tea farmers picked before Qingming and then processed. Because it was picked before Qingming, it is called Mingqian."
"There is also Yuqian Longjing, which is the Longjing tea picked before Guyu. This Yuqian Longjing is a little later than Mingqian Longjing. Mingqian Longjing is the first to be marketed in a year, because it The temperature of the growing environment is low, the yield is low, and the market is early, so it is relatively expensive, and the number of Mingqian Longjing that is picked every year is very small."
"Mingqian Longjing is not the same as Yuqian Longjing. The Longjing picked before Mingqian has a short growth time, so the tea leaves are relatively tender. The color and luster of the tea leaves are green and translucent. The leaves under each picking are uniform and firm. Glossy. Compared with Mingqian Longjing, Yuqian Longjing is slightly inferior, and it is not as good as Mingqian Longjing in terms of tea color and tea quality.”
"You can take a look at the tea we drank. The buds and leaves are tender and tender, which is a typical feature of Longjing before Ming Dynasty."
"We brew the tea leaves, wash the tea and make the tea officially. The brewed Mingqian Longjing looks like the leaves are stretched, the color is bright green and beautiful, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the mouth is soft and fragrant, giving people a fresh and natural feeling. , we sip it carefully, and we can drink the refreshing feeling from the tea just after the Qingming Festival, when the spring rain is like oil."
"That's why I said this is Mingqian Longjing!" Bai Ning took another sip of tea after finishing speaking.
The fresh and melodious feeling lingered between Bai Ning's lips and teeth, and the fragrance left behind made Bai Ning faintly intoxicated, and even forgot about Huangfu Yun sitting opposite him and Ye Chuxia beside him.
Bai Ning is completely intoxicated by this Mingqian Longjing tea.
Ye Chuxia usually doesn't drink tea very much. He usually drinks coffee and milk tea, and he doesn't know much about tea. Hearing what Bai Ning said, he immediately became interested in the green and clear cup of tea in front of him.
She also imitated Bai Ning's appearance, sniffing before drinking.
"Crack, clap!" A burst of applause came from outside the door, it was Huang Shunfa, followed by several waiters in ancient costumes, all of them were holding dishes in their hands.
"This brother Bai really has good eyesight!" Huang Shunfa praised.
