Chapter 53: The Teahouse

Although Wei Ruolan's master didn't chase after him, the three of them still didn't dare to stay for a long time, after all, this place was still too close to the Wei Mansion, in case the old man had a whim, and brought a senior brother or something powerful to chase him again, it would be a catastrophe.

After walking for more than ten miles, it was already past noon at this time, and the three of them felt tired and hungry, Xianglian said: "When I came, I remembered that there should be a teahouse near here, let's go and rest for a while." ā€

Baoyu was a little surprised: "Is there a teahouse around here, why didn't I see it?"

Xianglian didn't defend herself, she just pointed to the front and said, "It should be almost there..."

Sure enough, after walking less than half a mile, I found a simple building on the side of the road, hanging a cloth banner dancing in the wind, and on it was a big word "tea".

Baoyu couldn't help but admire, this Xianglian classmate deserves to walk the rivers and lakes often, he can find such an inconspicuous thing, and he can remember the exact location.

Xiangyun also said with a smile: "Brother Liu is really amazing, when I came, I didn't see it, in this wilderness, I don't know who it is, will open a teahouse in this place." ā€

Xianglian still looked cold and cool, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There are often such teahouses and small restaurants on the official road, and there are some people who have taken a long road, let's hurry over." ā€

When I got closer, I saw that it was a low thatched hut with a straw hut in front of it, and the snow in a square radius around it had been cleaned.

There were four tables in the hut, and on one side there was a wood-stove, and in the hearth lay some dry wood, which was crackling and burning, and on top was a large copper kettle, the spout of which was bubbling hot.

The three of them immediately felt warm, and an old man in his fifties walked out of the thatched house, saw the three of them, and said with a smile: "Objectively, let's come over and bake the fire for a while when it's cold..."

In fact, Baoyu and Xianglian cultivated deeply, and they didn't feel how cold, but Xiangyun hurriedly went over and stretched out his little hand to roast on the fire.

This tea shed, although a little simple, but clean and comfortable, the low table made of jujube wood is smooth and flat, and a small stool of the same material is placed on each side.

Baoyu and Xianglian sat down at a table outside, so that they could observe the situation on the road, and if there were pursuers, they would be able to find out in time.

There was a large white porcelain teapot and a stack of white porcelain bowls on the table, and Xianglian said: "Shop, serve tea, I want the best..."

The shopkeeper nodded, and took a white porcelain pot from a table at the door of the thatched house, and then used a bamboo tong to pinch out some fine tea leaves from it, and put it into the teapot, and then went to the wood stove to lift the copper kettle, and slowly poured water into it.

Immediately, there was a good smell of tea diffuse, and it felt very good.

After the tea was brewed, the old man put the copper kettle back again, and then came back to set up the tea bowl and began to pour the tea.

Baoyu saw that Xiangyun was still stretching out his little hand to roast the fire, so he said: "Yun'er, come and drink tea, it won't be cold after drinking..."

Xiangyun walked back, but he didn't drink it immediately, just put his hand on the tea bowl and continued to keep warm.

Baoyu didn't care about her anymore, picked up the bowl, and took a sip, feeling that the aroma was like an orchid, refreshing, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea..."

Xianglian said: "Shopkeeper, if you have anything to eat, even if you bring it, the silver is easy to say..."

The old man looked embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly: "Guest officer, this is a small teahouse, with only a few dried fruits and small snacks..."

Baoyu smiled and said: "Uncle, it's okay, just find something that can fill your stomach, don't pay attention to it..."

The shopkeeper nodded, and then walked into the hut again, and after a long time he didn't come out, and the pot of tea of Baoyu and the three of them was about to be drunk.

Baoyu thought to herself, it couldn't be just now, it scared the old man, and was about to go in to see what was going on, but the old man walked out with a big tray, in addition to two small snacks, there was a large plate of cut cooked beef, and there were two flatbreads next to it.

The old man put the tray on the table and said, "This is our own beef bought for the New Year, the guest officer is in a hurry, so let's use it for you first!"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "How can this be done, give us food, what should you do?"

The old man smiled kindly: "It's okay, it's more convenient for us, take the time to go to the town to weigh some, just use it first!"

Baoyu was immediately full of good feelings for the old man in this shop, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, uncle!"

The old man saw that the teapot was empty, so he hurriedly went to bring the copper kettle to refill the water, but the three of Baoyu were already busy eating, starting early in the morning, hurrying, fighting, and running away, almost non-stop, they were really hungry.

Because the beef pieces are relatively large and difficult to clip with chopsticks, Baoyu and Xianglian simply don't use chopsticks, hold flatbread in one hand and beef in the other, and eat one bite from left to right.

Xiangyun looked at them, suddenly burst out laughing, put down his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of beef and nibbled on it.

Baoyu looked up and saw Xiangyun's appearance, and couldn't help but think of the barbecue in Daguan Garden, and thought that he was full of relief, as an elder brother, he just hoped that she could live carefree and happy, whether it was a dignified lady or a really cool and delicate little girl, he liked it all the same.

After the three of them ate violently for a while, they drank two more bowls of tea, and their hunger, thirst and cold were swept away, and they felt extremely comfortable all over their bodies.

"Shopkeeper, account..."Baoyu took out five taels of silver from his arms and slapped it on the table, now he is a big tyrant, and his tone of voice is naturally much harder.

The old man came over, and when he saw the big ingots on the table, he said in embarrassment: "I can't find so much silver..."

Baoyu was a little helpless, this was the smallest money on him, and the rest were fifty taels and one hundred taels of silver tickets, Xianglian rolled her eyes and said: "Baoyu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have become rich, hasn't your house been copied?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "I earned it myself..."

Xiangyun also asked: "Yes, second brother, I haven't asked you yet, where did you get so many silver tickets?"

Baoyu told the two of them about selling medicine before, Xianglian and Xiangyun sighed, and looked at Baoyu's eyes differently, Xiangyun said with a little regret: "It's a pity that the three thousand taels of silver tickets were thrown to 'Jufanglou' in vain." ā€

Xianglian said: "After your brother made such a fuss, do you think that 'Jufang Building' can still be opened..."

As soon as Xiangyun heard this, he was a little unhappy: "Brother Liu, are you saying that you should leave me in Jufang Building, don't you care?"

Xianglian saw that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Cloud... Sister Yun, I... I didn't mean that..."

Xiangyun was still pouting, looking like I was really angry, Xianglian's always cold and white face suddenly turned red, as if she wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

Baoyu naturally knew Xianglian very well, so he said: "Okay, Yun'er, if your brother Liu were such a person, he wouldn't have come to save us, if he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that at this moment, we would have been drinking tea at Lord Hades." ā€

As soon as Xiangyun heard this, his face looked better, but he was still a little sullen.

I don't know if it's to express her apology, Xianglian hurriedly took out two pieces of broken silver from her arms and handed them to the old man and said, "Shopkeeper, is this enough..."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Not so much, one is almost enough..."

Xianglian said: "Take it, so much beef, I can't let you lose money." ā€

The shopkeeper took the money with gratitude on his face, and at this moment, a violent cough suddenly came from the back room, and the shopkeeper's face changed, and he hurriedly ran into the house.
