A strange shop is opened in the city of London. It does not sell finished tea, but you can drink authentic Chinese tea here. If you don’t like the most authentic Chinese tea method, you can also ask to add sugar, lemon, milk and other ingredients to the tea to cover up the strange smell caused by the tea being transported across the ocean.

In order to localize tea culture, tea masters from China are also improving the taste of tea to spread tea culture.

Originally, many Britons added other ingredients to tea unintentional behavior, and in this strange store, it was determined to be a formal tea variety, divided into different types such as mellow Chinese tea, lemon tea, milk tea, etc.

"The first teahouse in Britain has been opened. Here you can drink various types of tea, including the most authentic Chinese tea, sweet milk tea, and delicious lemon tea! Tea can boost spirit and nourish the spleen and stomach! In the teahouse, you can discuss politics, academics, and goods markets!" The teahouse employees distributed flyers to residents of London at the entrance of the teahouse, and announced that the opening of the first teahouse was auspicious.

A carriage was parked at the entrance of the teahouse, and a noble couple got out of the carriage.

"Madam, this is the teahouse recently established in our London City. There are Chinese tea and various new teas, biscuits, oriental pastries. Concerts and art exhibitions are held from time to time. Many nobles go to the teahouse to talk about things and laugh at each other during this period." The noble man said.

"I want to see the drinks and pastries in the east," the woman said.

The servants standing at the entrance of the teahouse opened the wooden door of the teahouse for them.

There were already aristocrats in groups, each gathering in front of wooden tables, with some people raising their legs. There were teacups, teapots and various snacks on the wooden table. On the walls on the four sides of the teahouse, there were both oriental ink paintings and Western oil paintings, which looked very stylish.

There are also hired musicians playing music from Britain on the organ balloon, with gentle tunes.

In order to earn money from residents of London City, this teahouse opened by Chinese merchants tried its best to meet the needs of locals. Not only did it improve the taste, but it also purchased local musical instruments in the teahouse and invited local musicians to come and perform.

Of course, Chinese merchants also brought a lot of private work to localization, and sometimes they would hang oriental ink paintings on the walls, place porcelain, and even play guzheng.

The culture of oriental elements such as Chinese tea, ink painting and other oriental elements at this time was fashion and trendy in the eyes of the British aristocrats, as if they were related to oriental elements as if they were catching up with the trend.

This has been the case since ancient times. If a country has strong national strength, its cultural influence will also affect the surrounding areas and even the whole world.

Just like when the Ottoman Empire was the most powerful, even the civilizations on Southeast Asian islands were affected by it, and some countries changed their beliefs. The Ottoman Empire once replaced the Ming Dynasty's influence on them on some islands in Southeast Asia.

In the eyes of the British nobles, the Eastern Empire was an extremely powerful existence. Their King Charles took the initiative to sign trade treaties with the other party. A large amount of spices, tea and porcelain were transported to the city of London by Western companies, which made them even more convinced that the Eastern Empire was even more powerful than them. Therefore, any element of Eastern China was regarded as an absolute trend by them, especially teahouses, which had never been heard of, which provided the local nobles with the best leisure place.

In the past, aristocratic banquets were too luxurious and extravagant, and even aristocrats could not hold feasts often, and teahouses, which were more bourgeois places, became their favorite place.

"In order to cater to their needs, it is difficult for our tea masters to do so. Originally, our tea master was proficient in how to choose, grow tea, and make tea, but now he also has to add milk, honey, lemon and other seasonings that the British like to make to match the most suitable proportions. This... has separated from the tea we know... and our tea is more authentic." The shopkeeper of the tea house sat on the second floor, opened a private room alone, explaining the situation of the tea house to Li Jinde and other directors.

"It's great that the teahouse we open can make money. We will give them whatever they like, which will do nothing to us. It is said that even the duke came to our teahouse to taste tea, but the king and the queen did not come." Li Jinde said.

"The king has the best preserved tea leaves we gave him, and he doesn't need to come to the teahouse at all," said a director.

"Our teahouse business is becoming more and more prosperous, and more nobles like to spend less money to hold banquets or negotiate things here... But recently, the thing I heard them talk about the most is the Scotland in northern England. It is said that the Presbyterian Church in Scotland sent the king to the local envoys to expel the king because it was dissatisfied with the king's merger of the churches of the two countries. Scotland also summoned a large number of soldiers and established a pledge army under the leadership of the Presbyterian Church. Scotland seemed to have the intention to resist the king, and I wonder if it would affect our business." The shopkeeper of the teahouse said.

Teahouses are not only useful for making money, but also the best place to inquire about information.

This place became a place where nobles like to gather. In addition to the gossip of family matters, it is inevitable that some countries will be discussed among these nobles.

Recently, the conflicts between Scotland and England have become increasingly fierce due to King Charles.

Scotland has established an independent army and is in a trend of being separated from Britain.

"No matter what conflicts there are between the king and the Scots, our Western trading companies are neutral before receiving the order from the capital. The Fourth Fleet will protect the safety of us and our property and they will not mess around. Instead of worrying about the relationship between Scotland and England, we might as well consider opening a few more teahouses in London, which will mostly make profits for the company." Li Jinde was not very worried.

"What if there is an order from the capital that we want to take action?" asked many Chinese businessmen.

"Then follow the orders of the capital. We don't have to make difficult choices. Don't worry, the English will not let the vows attack the city of London. King Charles will organize the army to attack them." Li Jinde said, "Compared with the things in Scotland, I want to go to the legendary Mediterranean to see the market there. There is the Ottoman Empire between the West and the East."

"Mediterranean? How do you go to the Mediterranean?" Some merchants were puzzled.

"The Levant Company of Britain is organizing a fleet to transport the woolen they collected to the Ottoman Empire for sale. I plan to take their ship." Li Jinde replied.

He didn't know that the Ottoman Empire had some conflicts with the expansion of China.
