Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once made a private visit in disguise out of the Forbidden City. When he drank a cup of Longjing tea at a tea farmer's home in Hangzhou, he was deeply impressed by the fragrant tea, and took some tea leaves secretly and left there. Later, he came to eat in a restaurant in Hangzhou, asking the waiter to make tea water with it.

Seeing part of the Emperor's robe carelessly exposed on Emperor Qianlong, the waiter hurriedly told the restaurant owner, who was cooking shrimps.
