Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2251 - 2187: Shrewd and Calculating

More than thirty thousand—that truly is a staggering amount.

"That’s right," Gao Yan said, clapping her hands together. "The tea is called 'Flow of Years.' It costs even more if you drink it on-site. They also serve snacks—just typical tea pastries—but the prices they charge are absolutely outrageous!"

"But are there actually people going there?" Gao Wei questioned. "With prices that high, where would the customers come from? Shouldn't a place like that be going out of business soon?"

If the prices were so steep, how could they possibly attract any clientele?

Hmm, he recalled hearing someone mention a new tea house opening a few days ago, praising its excellent atmosphere. This must be the same establishment they were discussing, right?

He hadn't paid much attention at the time, simply listening in passing, so he hadn't caught the name of the shop.

In his social circles, it was common for friends to visit such high-end tea houses, but surely no one would open a business solely to cater to their specific group?

"Oh, you have no idea," Gao Yan exclaimed. "That tea house is doing incredible business. Sometimes people are even standing in a queue."

"A queue?" Gao Ming asked, his surprise evident.

A place that expensive actually has people waiting in line?

Niu Dazhi chimed in quickly, "Isn't it just bizarre? It’s hard to believe, but some of those people must be out of their minds. They’ll wait in line just to sit inside and eat a few pastries, even if they don't order tea. Big Brother, think about it—aren't the pastries made by our Niu Family just as delicious? We are only a short distance from that tea house, yet people would rather wait in line there than visit our shop. Our pastries use traditional techniques; they aren't just tasty, they’re affordable too..."

Seeing Niu Dazhi begin to boast about his own pastries again, Gao Yan nudged him with her elbow to make him stop.

Realizing his wife was interrupting him once more, Niu Dazhi understood he was rambling and immediately fell silent, looking somewhat sheepish.

"I've heard the owner of that tea house is quite a character," Gao Yan remarked, carefully watching Gao Ming’s face. "Rumor has it she's a young girl around twenty years old who knows martial arts. When someone tried to confront her, they ended up taking a beating."

Gao Ming took another sip of his tea. His expression remained neutral, but he stated with confidence, "Did you two have a falling out with the owner of this tea house?"

He had seen through them instantly; he was truly impressive.

Niu Dazhi looked at Gao Ming with a sense of profound admiration.

Feeling a bit flustered, Gao Yan replied, "Big Brother, we just couldn't stand seeing a tea house set such high prices. Isn't that disrupting the market order? I just didn't expect that girl to be so aggressive; she beat them so badly they couldn't even stand up."

"Did she kill them?"

"No, nothing like that. The person was taken away by the public security officers," Gao Yan explained.

Gao Ming could still taste the lingering, fragrant sweetness of the tea in his mouth.

A young girl managing a tea house like that, earning roughly thirty thousand a month, and possessing some kung fu skills to boot.

If there was someone backing this girl, it would be worth investigating which family she belonged to.

However, if she had no backing, then...

She might actually be a good match for Gao Wei.

Gao Ming turned to Gao Wei and suddenly suggested, "Xiao Wei, aren't you free right now? Why don't you head over there tomorrow to see if the tea house is truly overcharging, or if their goods are actually worth the price. Also, check to see if all their business procedures and licenses are in proper order."

Sensing a chance, Gao Yan hurriedly asked, "Big Brother, what about the matter of us sending someone to the tea house...?"
