Chapter 748: Chapter 748 Fragrance Bamboo Qing Tea King Chapter 748: Chapter 748 Fragrance Bamboo Qing Tea King “I just had a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, costing twelve thousand taels of silver, Nanny Sun, you can’t be serious,” Zhang Ruixuan was furious, thinking that she must have grown tired of living, not even considering what status the Prince holds, daring to extort him.
“Indeed, that’s the amount, hehe…!” Nanny Sun stubbornly held her ground.
“Then please, Nanny Sun, produce a bill for it; that would be more convincing.”
Hundred Flowers Tower had already lost business to Qinger Building, and Zhang Ruixuan was bottling up a lot of anger, looking for an opportunity to explode. Now, as Nanny Sun had walked right into it, wasn’t it a perfect opportunity for him to pick a fight?
Nanny Sun still wore a smile, busily saying: “Yes, yes, Miss Ruan, Miss Ruan, quickly draw up a bill for this Master.”
Miss Ruan hurriedly entered and asked, “Nanny Sun, what do you need?”
“This Master does not believe he spent that much silver. List it out for him, and let’s not be accused of extortion at Qinger Building.” As Auntie Sun spoke, she turned her back and, from an angle Zhang Ruixuan and his men couldn’t see, stealthily winked at Miss Ruan.
Miss Ruan and Nanny Sun, having conspired countless times before, could understand each other with just a glance. She pulled out a small abacus, clicked it rapidly, and then handed it over to Zhang Ruixuan: “Master, please review, the amount is indeed correct.”
Zhang Ruixuan and his followers saw it was indeed twelve thousand taels and were all stunned, asking in unison, “How is this calculated?”
“One gram of tea leaves costs one thousand taels; considering there are many of you, this pot used up twelve grams of tea leaves. Since you are significant customers, these snacks are complimentary!” Miss Ruan said, looking very much like they were at a loss.
“Is your tea made of gold? It’s so expensive?” Before Zhang Ruixuan could speak, his men started shouting.
Zhang Ruixuan, being from the Royal Family and quite experienced, also had never seen such expensive tea leaves and asked incredulously, “What is this tea called? Say it, let’s hear.”
“Master carries such an exceptional demeanor; surely you have heard of Xiangzhuqing, haven’t you?”
Xiangzhuqing is a supreme kind of tea, more expensive than Pu’er and Da Hong Pao tea.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruixuan was furious and blurted out: “Don’t think that I don’t recognize it, even if it is Xiangzhuqing, it couldn’t be priced this high.”
As Zhang Ruixuan blurted out the words “this palace,” Nanny Sun’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that the man here was indeed from the Imperial Palace. Nevertheless, bound by her Master’s orders, she continued to speak cautiously: “Master, this Xiangzhuqing is not ordinary Xiangzhuqing; it’s the Fragrance Bamboo Qing Tea King.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Ruixuan’s anger slightly subsided as he picked up the teacup on the table again, took a sip, and indeed found it to be exceptionally fragrant, different from ordinary Xiangzhuqing.
He was utterly shocked, wondering what the background of this small Qinger Building was. Fragrance Bamboo Qing Tea King, even The Emperor couldn’t get it, yet a mere brothel had such a premium tea available.
Zhang Ruixuan’s men were indignant: “I see that your Qinger Building is just scamming people. We did not order this tea, yet you served us your most expensive tea; you clearly have bad intentions.”
Miss Ruan looked aggrieved: “At that time, you said your Young Master was of noble status and asked us to provide the best of everything. We did this for your sake. How now? Now that the tea is finished, you refuse to pay. You all look like honorable men and wouldn’t be trying to dine and dash at our brothel, would you?”
