Although she was only responsible for 40% of the teahouse, she was the one in charge. If she couldn't be sure of her master's and subordinate's status, it would be even more difficult to manage the teahouse properly in the future.
These fifty people were all people of King Yue's men. They did not need to intentionally cause trouble, and as long as they did not cooperate and acted coldly, the teahouse would not be able to continue. Since she relied on the teahouse to make a lot of money, she definitely wouldn't allow them to interfere in her plans!
Wei Yi and Yun Chun once again looked at Supervisor Qin. They discovered that he still remained silent and did not show the slightest expression on his face. The two of them muttered to themselves for a moment before bowing to Mu Yunyao."Greetings, Lady Mu."
"Greetings, Lady Mu." Hearing them call her that, Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, however, it's good that they give in now, since there's still a long period of time in the future, so she could slowly train these people, "Alright, I won't pursue the disrespect just now, the two of you bring them down, from tomorrow onwards, I will specialize in doing so.
"I've come to teach you all how to make tea."
"Yes."
Waiting until these people had left, Mu Yunyao turned her head with an apologetic smile."Supervisor Qin, I made the decision just now. Please forgive me."
"Miss Mu has done the right thing. I admire her from the bottom of my heart." Manager Qin truly felt admiration as he watched Mu Yunyao's actions. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a young girl could reach such a state.
Just now, her aura was sixty to seventy percent that of her master. No wonder Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others had so easily changed their attitude.
"I will write to Fourth Master about this matter. Since the teahouse is about to open, we can't let them go and focus on us. Whether it's to the outside or the inside, it's the best way to put it so that it won't arouse suspicion."
Supervisor Qin carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's expression and couldn't help but think that with Lady Mu's intelligence, she should have some doubts about the identity of the Prince. However, he didn't know if it was a good or bad thing.
Mu Yunyao's face finally revealed a hint of a smile. She turned and looked at the tea leaves that were sent over and said with a smile, "As I said before, I'll treat Supervisor Qin to a cup of tea after the beautiful flower garden is rested and ready. Today is a great opportunity."Let's go to the carriage and bring the tea set over."
Steward Qin was pleasantly surprised, "How can this be?"
"These days, I've been busy with the affairs of the Nebula Market and haven't had the time to look after the Embroidery Garden. Thanks to Supervisor Qin's hard work in returning, I've already said that I would like to invite you for a cup of tea. Please don't mind me, Supervisor Qin."
"How could that be? Ever since I heard Miss say that she would open a teahouse, I've been looking forward to it."
As he spoke, he brought the tea set over. Looking at the tea set, Steward Qin could not help but ask, "Are these all tea set?"
In twos and threes, a large tray was brought over. A dozen items were placed neatly on the table. Steward Qin could only recognize that there was a teapot, teacup, tea tray, stove, etc.
Mu Yunyao had brought everything she could use with her, so after placing the items away, she gave Supervisor Qin a gentle bow, "Yunyao will be making a fool of herself then."
At this time, she was gently kneeling on the ground. The hem of her skirt was spread out like a flower, and her sleeve gently drooped down, revealing her slender and delicate wrist, giving off an indescribably beautiful feeling.
First, she washed her hands in the water basin. Her white fingers were whiter than a small porcelain bowl filled with water. After being dipped in the water, her fingers became even more lustrous like jade.
Wiping the water off her hands with a white handkerchief, she picked up the water bowl and poured it into the sand on the little white porcelain stove. While she was at it, she washed the tea cup and soaked it in a semi-hot water.
Steward Qin had been attentively watching this entire time, and the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. He finally understood why Mu Yunyao had the confidence to open this teahouse.
A moment later, the lid of the mousse moved slightly and steam rose from it.
Mu Yunyao had already used a porcelain spoon to scoop up the tea leaves and put them into a large teacup with blue and white petals. Hearing the commotion, she picked up the sand and rushed into the hot water.
Supervisor Qin's heart was filled with anticipation as he leaned forward to smell the aroma of the tea. He was about to receive the tea cup when Mu Yunyao lifted the cup and poured the water into the teacup.
Steward Qin was stunned. Wasn't this for him to drink?
Once again, Mu Yunyao picked up the mace and poured water into a large teacup. After closing the lid, she waited for a moment before lifting it with a teacup and placing both hands in front of Steward Qin.
"Since I'm here to serve Manager Qin, I only pursue the taste of the tea. I will not demonstrate the complicated process to you one by one. Please don't think that I'm being perfunctory."
"How could I dare? How could I dare? Just now, the lady's actions were as natural as flowing water. I just watched from the side and felt calm and undisturbed. It was truly pleasing to watch."
Mu Yunyao chuckled and made an inviting gesture towards Supervisor Qin.
Steward Qin nodded his head in return and gently lifted the lid of the teacup. Then, he froze on the spot.
The jade-green tea leaves in the teacup were spreading out, sprouting out like the leaves on a spear or a flag. On the clear jade-green broth, the fragrance of the tea was rising up in streaks like the clouds.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes until Mu Yunyao reminded him once more. Only then did he slowly pick up the teacup, causing the fragrance of the tea to become even stronger and the leaves to sway along with it. Like snowflakes falling from the sky, it formed a flower at the bottom of the cup, fresh and tender.
Steward Qin resisted the urge to give it a try and immediately felt relaxed. He could not help but sigh, "I thought I was someone who loved tea, but now I understand that I was just a cow chewing on a peony before. Lady Mu's tea brewing skills are truly amazing! "
"Supervisor Qin is too kind. Those who truly know how to love tea have long since given up on formalities. I am only playing a little game to get more customers for the tea house." "Lady Mu need not be modest, your skills in brewing tea is truly admirable. Once Lady Mu has groomed those fifty people, the tea house will definitely be renowned throughout the world." Such smooth cooking was truly too pleasing to the eyes. Even if he didn't drink tea, it was worth it to come and admire it.
"Where did you learn how to make tea?"
"When I was bored at home, I came up with some tricks to ridicule Steward Qin."
Supervisor Qin was astonished. He had already repeatedly raised his opinion of Mu Yunyao, but now, it seemed that he was still far from being able to see through her. This Lady Mu was truly shocking.
Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her gaze, looking at the teacup on the table. A trace of ridicule flashed extremely quickly in her eyes. In her previous life, her leg was injured, so she didn't like it.
At that time, Prince Jin was in a bad situation in the imperial court, so he was always upset. She thought about it carefully for a long time and finally came up with a method to calm him down.
When Supervisor Qin had finished his tea, Mu Yunyao finally stood up."It's getting late. It's time for me to return to the Nebula Market. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Welcome, young lady." "Steward Qin, please wait."
