Shopkeeper Li is a businessman after all. Although he gritted his teeth, it was not because the price was expensive. But, after so many years of doing business, this was the first time he encountered such an opponent who bargained haphazardly, and he had a severe headache.
Now that verbal cooperation has been reached, the next step is to put it in writing. Even though it's in a corner, people come and go, which is really inconvenient.
"Miss Chen, let's go to the back and sign the deed." Shopkeeper Li invited.
Chen Wanbai nodded, readily agreed, and followed Shopkeeper Li to the back hall.
After passing through the lobby, Chen Wanbai followed Shopkeeper Li and walked along the somewhat narrow corridor.
After walking a few steps, Shopkeeper Li stopped, pushed open a wooden door, and walked in first. Chen Wanbai glanced around and followed in.
After entering the room, Chen Wanbai looked around sharply. This should be shopkeeper Li's office, it's very simple.
In the center is a long elm wood table with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it. There is an elm armchair behind the table, and several tea sets and some wooden ornaments are displayed on the multi-layered bookshelf against the wall behind the chair.
Near the window, there is a small coffee table with a set of exquisite tea sets placed on it. It should be the place where shopkeeper Li drinks tea on weekdays.
There is an elm incense table against the wall on the right, and an incense burner on top of it. Green smoke is rising from the mouth of the stove, and the room is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Shopkeeper Li saw her looking at her curiously, but there was no vulgarity in her eyes, and he couldn't help but admire her.
He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "The room is simple. Miss Chen, please sit down."
Chen Wanbai smiled slightly and sat down at the coffee table generously. As soon as she sat down, Gouzi opened the door and walked in, holding a pot of hot water in his hand.
Shopkeeper Li took the kettle and sat across from Chen Wanbai. Then, he took out a finely crafted purple clay pot and two purple clay cups of the same style from the shelf nearby.
He first warmed the pot and cup with hot water, then scalded the pot and cup inside and out. After doing this, he took a porcelain jar from the shelf behind him, scooped out an appropriate amount of tea leaves from it with a small spoon, and put it into the purple clay pot.
He slowly poured hot water into the pot, then poured out the water, poured hot water again, paused for a moment, and quickly poured the brewed tea into the teacup.
The aroma of tea spread immediately, and the room was filled with a light and elegant aroma.
Throughout the whole process, shopkeeper Li was skillful and unhurried, fully demonstrating his superb tea-making skills.
"Miss Chen, please have tea." Shopkeeper Li placed a purple clay cup in front of Chen Wanbai, picked up a cup himself and took a sip.
Chen Wanbai thanked him, picked up the teacup, looked at it, smelled it, and tasted it. After taking a careful sip, I felt that the tea was slightly bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was long and mellow.
She thought to herself: It is indeed different, much better than the tea foam she drank yesterday.
Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but be surprised when he saw her being so presentable: "Miss Chen actually knows tea?"
In the countryside, some people may have never known it in their entire lives. What does tea taste like?
Chen Wanbai paused and immediately said: "I don't understand, just drink it casually." After saying that, he raised his head and drank the cup of tea in one gulp, then put the cup down.
"One more cup, this cup is too small."

Shopkeeper Li did not say much and said with a smile: "Although this tea is not expensive, it is also considered to be the best tea in my teahouse."
He did not ask Chen Wanbai How was the tea? Just now he took a closer look. The girl's eyes narrowed and she nodded unconsciously. She must be very satisfied.
If Chen Wanbai knew what he was thinking, he would probably despise him. How could this be considered good tea? It wasn't because yesterday's tea was too bad to drink, she couldn't help but compare it.
Shopkeeper Li refilled the tea, then stood up, walked to the desk, sat down, and said, "Miss Chen, I don't have this material now. Why don't you dictate it first and I'll write it down here. How about it?" "
Chen Wanbai nodded, and then explained the method in detail.
Shopkeeper Li is indeed a shopkeeper who has been in shopping malls for a long time. Although he is not a dim sum chef, he understands it as soon as he hears it. I couldn't help but secretly complain, no wonder the dim sum in my teahouse didn't taste good, I guess it was because the ratio was wrong.
After Chen Wanbai finished telling him how to make an original yam cake, he then told him how to make other yam snacks, talking endlessly and eloquently.
This really shocked shopkeeper Li. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these eighteen taels of silver were well spent!
It wasn’t that Chen Wan was stupid, it was just that she was thinking that she already knew the recipe for yam cake anyway. The rest can be made by basic masters with a little thought. Instead of doing this, it's better to be a good person yourself. In this way, we can get twice the result with half the effort when discussing other matters in the future.
After finishing the recipe for yam cake, Chen Wanbai talked about the recipe for chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum tea is simple. Add rock sugar or honey to dried chrysanthemums. You can also add wolfberry or licorice. Finally, add warm water.
When shopkeeper Li heard this, he felt that three taels of silver was too much.
Chen Wanbai brainwashed him. Don’t think it sounds simple, but the ratios here are very particular. It is the best formula that has been worked out by her ancestors for generations.
Ancestor Chen Wanbai, oh, no, it was just taught by the omnipotent Internet.
Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment by Chen Wanbai's large amount of money, and even felt a little short of three taels of silver.
A cup of tea, two peopleBoth are very satisfied with each other. Shopkeeper Li didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, he wrote three copies of the Fangzi and Dioscorea purchase contracts, one for each party, and sent the other copy to the Yamen for filing.
After a while, the contract was written, he blew on the ink, and then handed the paper to Chen Wanbai out of habit.
Chen Wanbai stood up, took the contract, and read it carefully.
Shopkeeper Li originally wanted to pull back and read it to Chen Wanbai, but unexpectedly his hands were empty. When he saw Chen Wanbai looking at the contract seriously, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. This little girl was actually literate. Could she be pretending to bluff him?
Chen Wanbai quickly read the contract, raised his head and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li wrote it very carefully and the content is clear. I think there is no problem with the potato radish. We can sign the contract now. Just this pastry recipe, There's one thing. It's not right for me to make this kind of pastry from now on. Can't I just make some at home?" Shopkeeper Li felt a little ashamed after hearing this. He originally thought that Chen Wanbai was I was pretending, but I didn’t expect that I was really literate.
"No problem, I didn't think well, I will change it now."
After saying that, he picked up the pen again, brushed it a few times, and made another contract. Chen Wanbai took it and took a look. There was no problem.
The two signed their names on the contract together, and then each put away one copy, officially reaching a cooperation.
When Chen Wanbai put away the contract, he glanced at it casually and found that shopkeeper Li had a name that was very inconsistent with his appearance and personality.
