Chapter 12 Incision allusions

Fang Qingze, Lu Yunzhi and others quickly fled the capital, changed into the clothes of the Ming army, put on civilian clothes, and hurried for half a day, dodging dozens of waves of chasing and searching teams along the way. A few people found a small tea shop in the county town not far away and wanted to rest for a while, Fang Qingze looked up at the flag planted at the door with a big tea word written on it, and led everyone into it after a little pause.

The shopkeeper soon came over and asked, "How many masters, what do you need?" Zhu Jianwen said: "You say this as if you have everything in your store." Although Zhu Jianwen is not good friends with Gao Huai on weekdays, after all, he is in the same vein and loves to play power in politics, so he has a little more feelings that are different from the rights and wrongs of officialdom. Seeing Gao Huai being captured, he was naturally uncomfortable, and finally found an outlet at this moment, thinking about where he had seen the world in this small tea shop in the countryside. In fact, what Xiao Er asked was not wrong, but Zhu Jianwen was unhappy and deliberately found fault.

But seeing Xiao Eryi bowing down and saying, "Master, as long as you can say the tea and snacks, the shop can make them, otherwise you won't take a penny." Zhu Jianwen didn't expect the small tea shop Xiao Er to dare to rush himself like this, immediately furious, just wanted to speak but suddenly stunned only to see that the tea set used in the tea shop is very exquisite, the people around the tea drink heard their own high drink and looked at themselves, and those people are also very elegant, although the whole tea shop is not luxurious but unique, which is in line with the truth of the elegant, fresh and introverted tea.

Zhu Jianwen saw that this tea shop was a little famous, but he didn't want to admit defeat, and said: "Come to Hulongjing, with a Xuzhou Eight Samples." The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, and stopped talking Zhu Jianwen smiled: "Hehe, look at you don't know what the eight major things in Xuzhou, you ....." The words were not finished, but he listened to the shopkeeper's report: "Honey three knives, strip crisp, hemp chips, croissant honey, Jiang rice strips, peanut candy, money cake, osmanthus halva, what you said is these eight things, I want to ask you what kind of tea you use to make Longjing." ”

This time it was Zhu Jianwen's turn to be stunned, but when he saw Fang Qingze, he coughed lightly, took out a coin and said, "What's the use of keeping a penny?" The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "A penny can make a comeback." "What do you do with a hundred taels?" Fang Qingze asked again despite everyone's surprised expressions. "A hundred taels of people's ambitions." After answering this, the shopkeeper respectfully bowed to Fang Qingze, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Zhu saw and heard that Lu Yunzhi, Shi Wentian and others were all people with strong five senses, even Yingzi was super and ordinary people, everyone listened to these whispers in their ears, but they couldn't understand a word, as if it was a kind of incision code, I saw Fang Qingze nodded and stood up, and then said: "Let's go, let's go to the private room." ”

Everyone followed the shopkeeper into a small room, there were many people's calligraphy and paintings hanging in the small room, which looked quite good, Lu Yun looked at it and then praised: "Although the author of these calligraphy and paintings is not famous, but it will become a big thing in the future, the owner of this shop looks very discerning, second brother, do you know this shopkeeper, otherwise what is the matter with the incision code just now." Fang Qingze said happily instead: "Then I really have to thank the third brother for praising me, I am the owner of this shop, but I am just a behind-the-scenes master." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in his thirties pushed the door in, looking a little bit of style, the man's surname was Yan Dan and a Liang character was the owner of this shop, Yan Liang and Fang Qingze saluted, and then greeted the tea and water, Fang Qingze explained: "This year, the business I have developed is also all over the country, in order not to make a big move, I usually do the shopkeeper behind the scenes, and the owner on the bright side of the three seven accounts, I just need to approve the account book and set up the intention of development, the specific operation is still decided by a group of people led by Diao Shanshe, So I didn't know exactly where my shop was, but I remembered that there was a record of this place in the account books, so I paid attention to the flags of these shops when I first arrived here. There is always a small fingerprint on the corner of the flag or plaque in my shop, which ordinary people will not pay attention to, and sprinkle a unique Tianzhu incense powder on the flag or plaque, you and I are people with keen five senses, as long as you pay attention to the observation, you will find this small trace. ”

At this time, the tea came, and Zhu Jianwen took a sip and praised it: "Fang Qingze, you kid is so particular about this remote tea shop, no wonder this place is so good." After hearing this, Lu Yunzhi and the others also drank it one after another, and they only felt that this tea had a strong aroma, mellow and refreshing, and it was more meaningful than the Longjing they drank on weekdays. Zhu Jianwen hurriedly tasted another bite, then picked up a piece of osmanthus halva with chopsticks and ate it, squinted and enjoyed it as if it had an endless aftertaste, and then said: "This osmanthus halva is very delicious, it is simply an authentic Xuzhou specialty, and this Longjing is clearly made from the Hupao Spring in Lin'an City, which is really authentic." Fang Qingze smiled and said: "Lao Zhu, when we escape this catastrophe, a few of us will go to the Hupao Spring to drink tea. ”

Shi Wentian smiled and asked, "Qingze, what do you mean by those two cuts?" Fang Qingze didn't know whether to call Shi Wentian's uncle or his senior brother, according to the rules of the door, Shi Wentian was a senior brother, but he and Lu Yunzhi were brothers with different surnames, and they should be called uncles, so they were very embarrassed and had to reply without a title: "Although the first two confirmed marks are already very safe, but in order to prevent people from accidentally hitting each other and recognizing each other in the convenience store, these two incisions were two allusions, according to legend, a Zhejiang businessman crossed the river because of a penny and bargained with the boatman, The boatman was very disdainful and asked, 'You don't have this penny?' "The merchant replied, 'A penny is enough to make a comeback.' So there is an incision that I asked what is the use of keeping a penny, and the other party replied that a penny can make a comeback. ”

Fang Qingze took a sip of tea and continued: "The second allusion is about a peddler who sells dog meat has great ambitions since he was a child, and he is destined to be rich and noble, but God wants to test him and let him get a hundred taels of gold for a windfall. At last the hundred taels of gold were spent, and he died of starvation, and before he died, the gods came down to earth to give him an epiphany, and he sighed: 'A hundred taels of gold have wiped out my ambitions.' Therefore, there are two cuts in the last two sentences, what do you do with a hundred taels, and a hundred taels cut off people's aspirations. The two incisions are to remind me not to indulge every penny, and not to forget my own nature because of the current little fortune, money is endless. ”

Shi Yuting was very happy to eat a sip of tea and a sip of snacks, the escape and rush along the way made this powerless girl a little unbearable, and when she heard Fang Qingze's explanation, she laughed: "A fan of wealth is a fan of money, and picking the door is picking the door, looking for so many allusions as an excuse, not ashamed." After hearing this, everyone's mood temporarily improved, and they all laughed.
