306- Taking Advantage (占便宜)
Mother Jiang watched the approaching server and laughed softly.
This authentic Junshan Yinzhen was considered royal tea, even the cheapest would cost more than 2,000 yuan. The premium grade would probably go for more than tens of thousands. Of course, if it’s the green tea variant then it would be cheaper, probably costing only a little more than a hundred.
Since she said she wanted the premium grade, then if they gave her cheap goods, she definitely wouldn’t stay by it.
After the tea pot was put down, the first thing Mother Jiang did was look inside it. After all, her husband had been in this industry for a long time. Having been influenced by him, she could also tell them apart.
What she saw was the length and size of the tea leaves inside that were well-distributed, the inner faces of the tea sprouts were a golden yellow colour, while the outside was white brushed and revealed to be completely intact. In fact, the bundle was wrapped firmly and the size were as thin as needles, making the tea possess all the characteristics of the real deal.
Mother Jiang curled her lips. They‘re actually willing.
Actually, not all the tea leaves of this pavilion were very expensive. A pot of tea worth less than 100 yuan in tea leaves were everywhere. Just that since Jing Yun Zhao was also selling tea leaves in the pavilion as a merchandise at the same time, she couldn’t just buy normal ones.
Mother Jiang watched these two pots of tea, her heart feeling uneasy.
How rich must the owner of this pavilion be to be able to be so easygoing?
However, no matter how it was, it was still just a pot of tea that doesn’t use up too much tea leaves. It’s just that they couldn’t allow this owner to continue taking advantage of them.(excuse me?) They should soak these tea leaves a few more times and drink their fill.
What Mother Jiang didn’t know was that, currently, the server Jing Yun Zhao had hung around the streets also used to work at First Tea Pavilion too, so they knew this area relatively well. They went to a few stores they were familiar with and greeted them, even staying for a while to chat idly.
The flow of this idle chat couldn’t stop itself from moving towards the old and the new and comparing them. Naturally, the differences between them became more obvious.
“I’ve never met our owner, our story now only has a manager. The boss doesn’t really show up...” the server smiled.
In the entire pavilion, other than Chu Rong, no one else knew who the boss was.
To further add on, they thought that Jing Yun Zhao was just an apprentice brought by Chu Rong’s friend who was a doctor. After all, the guests also addressed her as ‘doctor’, so everybody there didn’t think too much about it.
“How does the Yu Ling Tea Pavilion treat employees like you... is it better than the First Tea Pavilion?” a wife, who was a natural born gossip asked.
After all, they were neighbours in the same street, one must be up to date with the current situation. Who knows maybe this piece of info could be used against them in the future.
The employee nodded his head as he replied, “Obviously the treatment here is way better! Although we’ve never met the boss, she still treats us better than how Jiang Wen Sheng treated us. The manager said that the store won’t keep old products, especially products such as biscuits. Not only that, if they weren’t all sold on that day, we get to bring them home. Totally the opposite of Jiang Wen Sheng, who would continue selling the same products on the next day; and even if the products couldn’t be sold, he would still keep it for himself until it spoils! On that note, Jiang Wen Sheng’s wife and his son are currently in our store...”
Although they were a tea pavilion, there would obviously be some who disliked drinking tea, hence why the store had biscuits and fruits.
When the gossiper heard that the Jiang Family’s wife and son here, she excitedly asked, “What are they doing here?”
“Our tea pavilion’s tea is the best, so they probably came here for a taste? Also, it’s not like you guys are ignorant, y’all know how stingy the Jiang Family is. Once they knew that the store would waive their bills before 2 p.m., they instantly chose the 2 most expensive pots of tea, drinking it vigorously!” The employee said angrily, and continued, “One pot of the tea they’re drinking could be sold for a few hundred yuan outside! How shameless!”
