Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 237 Acquaintances
"By the way, a few days ago, that Liu Dutou brought an official to the tea shop to ask the owner." Mrs. Zhao wiped her hands and said.

"Ask me what to do?"

"I don't know, they didn't go into details. I said that the boss is not here, so they left. But judging by their expressions, it shouldn't be a bad thing, and they didn't come back later."

Wen Shu nodded, "Since I haven't come again, it's definitely not something important, maybe I just want to ask Guozi again, don't leave him alone." After finishing speaking, he closed the booklet, stood up and said happily: "I developed two new ones at home yesterday. Thirsty water, I plan to use it as a sign, my sister-in-law will find me a thin wooden board, and I will write the name and price on it, so that I can hang it outside."

"Okay, it's in the back room, I'll get it right away."

Mrs. Zhao responded and went to the back room, and brought a thin wooden board after a while.

Wen Shu took the pen and dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote two lines on the wooden board.

"Bright eyes and thirsty water".

"Wisdom thirsts for water".

The reason why he chose to name it after its efficacy instead of directly writing "Yaocao Thirsty Water" and "Grass Grass Thirsty Water" is because Wen Shu was afraid to write the name directly, which would make people think of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so as to see through the mystery behind it.

Although there are not many families in Bianjing who have a collection of Shan Hai Jing, there are still some in the palace and those noble families.So to be on the safe side, it's better not to write your real name.

Secondly, it is named directly after the effect, which is obviously more attractive than writing the actual name. Listen to, "Thirsty Water for Bright Eyes", "Thirsty Water for Wisdom", and you will know the benefits of eating it.

Wen Shu silently praised her wit.

After writing the name, the next step is to set the price. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then started to write.

"Five hundred coins a cup!" Mrs. Zhao exclaimed as soon as she made the last stroke.

Immediately afterwards, she saw her staring at him in a daze, with an expression like "My boss, you must have made a mistake."

Although Mrs. Zhao couldn't read the words, she could still know the basic amount of money, because Wen Shu had taught her, but now looking at the four characters on the wooden board, she felt a little dazed.

"That's right, thirsty water is good for eyesight, my sister-in-law will know in the future."

Ignoring Mrs. Zhao's exclamation, Wen Shu picked up a pen again and added the price after "wisdom thirsty water".

This time Mrs. Zhao was not in a daze, but outright stupid.

"One thousand dollars!" She stared blankly at Wen Shu for a while, and then suddenly stretched out her hand to her forehead, "It's not burning, but this."

"Boss, is the price too high?" Mrs. Zhao hesitated, "We are just an ordinary tea shop, not a restaurant in the city. How can we sell it at such a high price?"

Even restaurants in the city do not sell them at this price.

"It's not high, it's not high. Although our tea shop is ordinary, this thirsty water is not ordinary." Wen Shu cheerfully handed her the brush, and went out carrying the wooden board.

After wandering around the door twice, he finally placed the wooden sign on the left side of the door.

This place is facing the official road, and anyone passing by can see it. Her handwriting is so big that anyone who is literate can see it clearly when standing on the official road.

not normal?How extraordinary!

No matter how good the eyes are, it is not worth the price. Mrs. Zhao was about to persuade her again, but at this time two women came from the Earth Temple.

Seeing the wooden sign at the door, he asked curiously, "What is written here?"

Mrs. Zhao was a little embarrassed, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of being scolded.

Wen Shu didn't take it seriously, turned around and greeted with a smile: "The thirsty water that Xiaosi just released, the two ladies want to try it?"

"What thirsty water, how much is it?"

"Thirsty water for good eyesight, five hundred coins a bottle, wisdom thirsty water that can improve wisdom, one thousand coins, what do you two ladies want?"

"What! Five hundred coins a cup! Stealing money." The woman in blue stared wide-eyed, "Look at the young lady, how can she be so wicked?"

"That's right, that's right, I wanted to go in and drink a bowl of tea soup, but I didn't expect it to be such a murderer. Let's go, I think that the fairy dreaming thing is probably fake, just to sit on the ground and raise the price. It's really blind A few sticks of incense." The woman next to her said angrily.

Both of them are women from nearby villages. Recently, people in the village have often heard that the Lord of the Land here has appeared, so they came here early in the morning to offer incense.

Because Wen Shu was the main character and beneficiary of the land master's apparition, after offering incense, he was curious and wanted to see what was so special about the owner of this tea shop.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, they saw a young lady coming out holding a wooden sign with words written on it, they didn't know each other, so they asked.

It's just that the answer they got made them dumbfounded and even wanted to curse.

Wen Shu had expected their reaction, and her expression did not change at the moment.

"The two ladies don't need it, so they naturally feel that it is expensive, and those who need it don't feel that it is expensive."

"I don't need anything. It's just two thirst-quenchers. I think I'm a jade house. I really dare to ask for a price. Those who know know that they are selling thirsty water, but those who don't know think that they are selling fine milk and jade liquid."

The two women walked away cursing.

Mrs. Zhao persuaded worriedly: "Boss, the price is indeed high, why not lower it."

The thirsty water in this ordinary tea shop is only three or four Wen, and the high one is only a dozen Wen.Five hundred yuan a cup, not to mention ordinary teahouses, even fanlou is rare.Not to mention those who bought it, she felt terrified when she heard it.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shu's stubbornness has already been seen: "No adjustment, just this price. If someone asks, my sister-in-law will tell the truth. As for whether people will buy it or not, if they like it, they will not buy it."

"This..." Mrs. Zhao wanted to persuade her again, but Wen Shu had already rolled up her sleeves and entered the tea shed.

Where is the price so high?
You must know that only ten catties of Yaocao can produce a catty of ointment. Grandma Xiong's eyes have only eaten sixteen plants of Yaocao before and after she went from blindness to clear vision.

That is to say, one or two creams can make an acquired blind person return to normal from "blind".

And if one or two ointment is replaced by a spoon, it is about six spoons, and it is six cups when it is turned into thirsty water.

Three strings of money can make a person with the same eye disease as Grandma Xiong see again. Wen Shu thinks that if she is the blind person, she will definitely not think it is expensive.

A small shopkeeper like her father earns it in a month.

As for the grass thirsty water that can make people smarter, Wen Shu subconsciously felt that it was more precious, so it doubled the price of Yao grass thirsty water.

As for the efficacy, although she has never tried it, she actually thinks that she is already smart enough. If she only tries a little, she may not see any effect, so it is better not to waste it.

To judge whether a person is smart or not, one depends on memory, and the other depends on reaction. Wen Shu thinks that he is not lacking in both, so he does not need to eat this to become smarter.

With the signature drink, the staple food must also keep up. While wearing the Panneck, Wen Shu was thinking about what staple food to use as a signboard.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses coming from the door.

She looked up subconsciously, and when she saw a man and a woman getting off the donkey cart, her complexion changed immediately, and Mrs. Zhao who came in from the back said: "Sister-in-law will take care of it first, I suddenly feel a bit of a headache, I want to go to the back to rest." rest."

Mrs. Zhao had seen the wound on her forehead a long time ago, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, I'm here."
