85_85563 He took out a small wooden sign from his waist and handed it to the man, asking him to go to the account office to help settle the bill, and then said: "Since we have planted golden rice in our village, people from neighboring villages have come to ask for seeds. After planting, the rice can sprout, but the rice that grows is the same as usual. In our village, only the rice of the dozens of acres of fields around the sacred tree can produce golden rice. ”

"The Sacred Tree?" Xia Qingyun suddenly became interested, "Can you take us to have a look, so that we can ask for the protection of the divine tree, and the title of the gold list in the coming days?" ”

The farmer smiled honestly: "That tree is nothing unusual, just because it can mutate the rice in the surrounding fields, the villagers revered it as a sacred tree." As for whether you can protect Childe High School, that's not a good idea. Childe Mo delayed his trip to Beijing because of my words. ”

The farmer's surname was Zheng, his name was Zheng Shouyu, and he lived in Taipingkeng, thirty miles east of Qionghai Town, and worked for at least a day back and forth. It was too late today, so I asked him for the address, and said that I would rush to it early tomorrow morning and ask Zheng Shouyu to lead them to worship the sacred tree.

As he was talking, the guy came over and handed Zheng Shouyu a bag of broken silver, "One hundred catties of gold and rice, a total of twenty-five taels of silver, big brother take it, and the goods will definitely be delivered to our shop in the future!" ”

After the farmer left, Zhiqiu grabbed the guy and pretended to be displeased: "You collect four catties of gold and rice for one tael of silver, but you sell us ten taels of silver and one catty, and you earn more." ”

"This son, you have wronged the villain again!" The guy looked aggrieved, "Our shop is reasonably priced, and it is famous in the town." Golden rice is not a commodity that is sold on a daily basis, and we can't receive two or three hundred catties a year. If it weren't for the two of them coming early, this hundred catties of rice would have been wrapped up by the big households in the town, where would it be the turn of the two! ”

Zhiqiu pursed her lips disapprerovingly, picked up the rice bag on the ground and walked out with Xia Qingyun, passing by the person who had just come in at the door.

The man was tall and fat. Walking crookedly, he suddenly hit Zhiqiu's shoulder, and the rice bag fell to the ground, sprinkling golden on the ground.

"There's a golden rice?" He shouted, "Man, how can you sell Jinmi to two sour talents!" Hurry up and collect it for me, Master Gao wants as much as he wants. You can't get enough money! ”

The man's face was embarrassed. He bowed and let this person inside, "Butler Huang, they are students who are rushing to take the exam." It's auspicious, only buy ten catties. There's a lot left in the shop, and it's all for you! ”

"Load them all on me and send them to Gaofu as soon as possible!" He waved his hand domineeringly. Commanded the man.

"Hey! Why should we give you the rice we bought! Zhiqiu glanced at him, frowned, and squatted down to pick it up.

Butler Huang arrogantly walked up to Zhiqiu. stepped on the rice bag and sneered: "You can't take this rice today!" ”

"Brother Qiu, don't do it, why bother fighting for a few catties of rice." Xia Qingyun didn't want to make trouble. Pulled up Zhiqiu and shook her head at her.

The guy ran over and stuffed ten taels of silver into Xia Qingyun's hand, and made amends again and again.

This is not bad for him, Gao Fu did not pay the deposit in advance. You can sell it to anyone, but the housekeeper is overwhelming.

Out of the rice shop. Zhiqiu was still angry, "Looking at his arrogant and unreasonable appearance, I don't know how many people I bully on weekdays!" I really should beat him up and get angry! ”

"The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, we still have to hurry, don't pay attention." Xia Qingyun smiled and persuaded.

The two of them walked around for a long time, bought some local specialties of brushes, purple ink, dried cakes, candies and other things, found a home-class restaurant to sit down, and ordered a few side dishes.

After a short while, Xiao Er served a few plates of light or green dishes. Xia Qingyun tasted it, the taste was fresh, salty and sweet, and it was more suitable for her appetite than the sour and hot southwest dishes.

In particular, a large boiled dried silk, the knife work is fine, the fresh fragrance is tangy, the umami in the soup completely penetrates into the extremely fine dried tofu shreds, there is the meat fragrance but no meat, and there is not a drop of oil and a trace of beans, which is extremely delicious and makes people never get tired of eating.

She asked Xiao Er for a pot of boiling water, took out the small tea tube she carried with her, and brewed two cups of Bitan Drifting Snow, the tea fragrance was elegant, accompanied by the deliciousness of dried silk, even Zhiqiu called it a perfect match.

The fragrance of tea hit people, attracting the surrounding guests to call Xiao Er one after another, asking for a glass of water like theirs. Xiao Er hurriedly explained that it was brought by others. The guests gathered around their table instead, wondering what they were drinking.

Xia Qingyun saw that there were more and more people around, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and glanced at Zhiqiu, put down some broken silver and got up to leave. was stopped by the restaurant shopkeeper who rushed to hear the news.

"Two sons!" The shopkeeper gave a deep salute, "Dare to ask what kind of drink the two of you are drinking?" ”

The shopkeeper is a thin middle-aged man, although he has a little bit of market spirit, but his attitude is very modest and polite, without waiting for Xia Qingyun to answer, he grabbed the broken silver on the table and returned it to Xia Qingyun's hand, and asked with a smile: "Even if I invite this table of dishes, where can I buy this thing, can the son tell me?" ”

There are many restaurants in Qionghai Town, and the competition is also extremely fierce. This shopkeeper is really a good businessman and is good at seizing business opportunities. When he heard what Xiao Eryi said, he immediately rushed over.

Xia Qingyun smiled and returned the silver to him, "The shopkeeper is polite, it is natural to pay for dinner." The tea we drank was called Bitan Piaoxue, and it was bought at Qingyun Tea House in Yuzhou City in the southwest. I still have one more point here, if the shopkeeper doesn't dislike it, I'll give it to you. ”

She put the small tea tube on the table, and continued: "This tea only needs to be brewed with slightly heavy boiling water, which is refreshing and sweet, refreshing and refreshing, and is a common thing for our students to study on weekdays." ”

Zhiqiu couldn't help but look sideways, Miss Xia really came with her mouth open, and promoted her tea anytime and anywhere!

Eating in this restaurant, there are many local and passing readers, who heard the word refreshing and immediately came around to inquire. It's inevitable to get dizzy when you read too much, and if there is such a good thing, why not buy it and try it?

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked Xiao Er to take a big pot, and according to what Xia Qingyun said, he soaked a big pot of snow in Bitan and distributed it to everyone to taste. It's really fragrant and refreshing. Add a few more times to brew, and the aroma is still undiminished.

It's a pity that such a little bit of tea is only enough to make a pot.

"When I came out of the house, I brought some with me and put them in the inn" Before Xia Qingyun finished speaking, he was surrounded by everyone again.

"Childe, sell me a tube, how much is it?"

"I want it too, can I give me some too? They all want to go to Beijing to catch the exam, how about giving me something for the sake of the same year? ”

The shopkeeper also squeezed over. Willing to ask her to sell some more to herself for a lot of money.

Zhiqiu stroked her forehead and looked at Xia Qingyun with a forced smile.

"Let me think about it, I didn't bring much, not to mention that this is the best Bitan Drifting Snow, but it cost me twenty taels of silver to buy one tael!" Xia Qingyun muttered helplessly.

The shopkeeper is trying to make money very quickly, and this tea leaves sound quite expensive. Think about it. It is extremely lightweight, and a small tube can only hold half a tael, which is enough to soak two large pots. It is enough for a dozen people to drink, and if it is placed in a restaurant to attract guests, the income brought is not only ten taels of silver.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, Childe. How about you sell it to me? He pleaded again.

"I'm really reluctant!" The more people wanted to buy, Xia Qingyun refused to sell. Seeing that everyone sighed in disappointment, she said again: "However, I still have some ordinary jasmine tea, which is slightly inferior to Bitan Piaoxue." I don't usually drink much, if you want."

"Yes, we want!"

"Okay. Then I'll go back to the inn and get some. ”

Half an hour later, Xia Qingyun and the others returned to the teahouse with a bag of jasmine tea.

She took some and brewed them in a pot for everyone to taste. Although jasmine tea is not as fresh and sweet as Bitan Piaoxue. But it is also full of aroma, and the hint of bitterness contained in the tea soup is even more refreshing. The price is also cheap, only thirty taels and one pound, and everyone has taken out the silver to buy it.

Twenty catties of jasmine were divided up in an instant. The shopkeeper took the lion's share and bought five catties, and the others were also righteous, and each person shared three or four taels.

At the request of the shopkeeper, Xia Qingyun wrote down in detail the address of the Qingyun Tea House and the teahouse in Yuzhou City, and told him that there were still many varieties of tea that could be purchased. Others also took out paper and pencils, transcribed them, and said that they would definitely go to Qingyun Tea House to buy tea when they had the opportunity in the future.

Back at the Yuelai Inn, Zhiqiu asked her why she didn't sell Bitan Piaoxue to everyone. Xia Qingyun explained that drinking tea can't be 'high' all at once. Once you get used to drinking good tea, ordinary tea can't get into your mouth. From the entry-level slow tasting, you can appreciate the beauty of the best tea.

After a night's rest, the two got up early the next morning, asked the guys at the inn to call a pony car from the car dealership, and went to Taiping Keng according to Zheng Shouyu's address.

Along the way, there are green trees, dense water networks, and continuous beaches. Egrets fly over the smooth water surface, fishermen wearing hats row boats, and fish crows on the bow of the boat from time to time. The fish crow was planted in the water and held the fish with a sharp mouth like an iron hook, but the fisherman split its mouth and snatched it away.

Passing by a small village in the middle, small bridges, flowing water, tiled houses and pink walls, green willows hanging low, lotus flowers reflecting the sun, as if walking into a poetic picture.

But further east, there are several gentle hills, and the water vapor is thick in the middle of the hillside, forming patches of white mist, which looks like a dream.

After asking the handlebar, I learned that this is the remnant of Tianyun Mountain, and after this hill, it is the vast sea. And the Taiping pit they are going to is in the middle of this hill.

Xia Qingyun couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this kind of terrain is very suitable for the growth of tea trees, isn't it the divine tree that Zheng Shouyu said, in fact, it is a kind of tea tree? But how can it mutate the rice and produce golden rice?

With full questions, they came to the foot of a mountain, and stopped the driveway in the handlebar style: "The rest of the road can only be walked by two people, and if you climb up the mountain road, you can see three big trees, and from the path next to the trees, down the path, is Taipingkeng." ”

No wonder the name sounds strange, it turns out that it is a depression in the mountain, so it is named after the pit.

Zhiqiu thanked the handlebar and told him to wait where he was, so that he could turn around in the next day.

The two of them were accustomed to walking mountain roads in the southwest, and their footsteps were like flying, and they couldn't tell that they were women at all. After a stick of incense, he climbed to the big tree mentioned in the handlebar style, and looked down to see that the road down the mountain was much steeper than when he came up. The whole mountain is like a big bowl, Taiping pit is the bottom of the bowl, and the houses and fields are shrouded in a layer of mist, which is quite like a paradise.

Descending to the entrance of the village, a few children who were barefoot in the river catching shrimp blinked their big shining eyes and looked at the living people curiously. Xia Qingyun took out a few pieces of pine nut candy from his pocket and gave them to the children, asking them if they knew about Zheng Shouyu's family.

"Zheng Ling'er, they're looking for your father." The children cried out.

The little girl named Zheng Ling'er is * old, combing two pigtails and holding her trouser legs, she is not timid at all, her hands are crossed at the waist, and she asks crisply: "What are you looking for my father?" I'll take you there after I make it clear! (To be continued).
