Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 118 Three People
Although Ye Qing is the leader of the Wind Thorn, he does not have the official position of the imperial court on his body, and in Tianjing City, he is a flat-headed person who has nothing to do and is light.
Tianjing City is large and rich, its goods are smooth, and there are many categories, even Zizhu City is incomparable. Ye Qing is good at tea, so on the second day he arrived in Tianjing City, he went to Beicheng to find some better tea. Who is he, he is Ye Qing, and the money in his pocket can't be used up.
It stands to reason that most of the people of the king of Guangnan are people with their tails between their legs in Beijing, after all, no matter how you say this, it is also Xu De's lair, but he Ye Qing is not biased, and he walks with his head held high, as if he is afraid that passers-by will not see his domineering and different. He is not afraid of assassination, because he is Ye Qing.
He walked past a few stalls and small shops, and when he saw his head held high and smiling, several shopkeepers thought he was a fool and came forward to sell their own tea.
Ye Qing didn't speak, but touched the dryness and wetness of the tea with his hand, and pinched two more pieces to the front of his nose and sniffed them, so that he could know that the cat was tired. He likes to slap other people's faces, so he waits for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, and then slowly says the origin of the tea, the year, and even the age of the tea tree. The boss was often regarded as a fool by the other guests, and he was so angry that he blushed, but when they reacted, Ye Qing had already gone to the next store.
Ye Qing smiled and walked through the streets of Beishi.
His keen eye was enough to see how a thief a hundred steps away could steal someone's money, and he didn't care, but just found it funny.
As he walked, a nondescript tea shop on the side of the road caught his attention.
The tea shop was short, the wooden door was mottled, and everyone welcomed customers at the door. Above the shop hangs a time-honored signboard - Tea Shop.
Ye Qing looked at it and was happy. Looking at any store in the past, it is better decorated than this one, not to mention the rest, at least there is a welcoming person at the door, so as not to let passers-by ignore it. But with such a shop, Ye Qingbian felt that there was good tea here. So, he stepped into the door of the tea shop.
As soon as you enter the small store, dozens of wooden cabinets come into view, and at the innermost point of the store door is a counter. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, holding a book in his hand at the moment, and he couldn't see what it was, so he looked at it intently.
Seeing that there were guests, he didn't mean to get up, but just raised his eyebrows and glanced at it, and said, "The tea is here, take a look for yourself." ”
Ye Qing felt that the shopkeeper was an interesting character, so he walked into the wooden cabinet and looked at it one by one.
These cabinets were no less old than the two wooden doors and the mottled plaque at the door, and several corners had been loosened and forced closed with iron nails.
Ye Qing looked from the bottom cabinet, and there was a sign with iron on it, with the words Jade Peak written on it. This Jade Peak is the most popular tea in Dahan, because of its wide origin, so people in every place love to drink, but this also leads to the fact that both kinds of tea are called Jade Peak, but it is completely two flavors.
Ye Qing opened the lid, although the preservation method was rough or even rough, the color of the tea leaves in the cabinet was darker than every one just now. Ye Qing is an expert and knows that this is because the frying technique is at home, the moisture goes quickly, and the taste of the tea leaves is much left.
Ye Qing pinched two tea leaves, sniffed them in front of his nose, and the faint fragrance came to the front of his nose. He was surprised for a moment, his five senses were stronger than ordinary people, and Fang Qian didn't smell such a smell.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"Jade Peak. It doesn't even say it. The shopkeeper's voice was impatient.
Ye Qing smiled, without any intention of being annoyed by the shopkeeper's tone, and said: "Of course I know that it is Jade Peak, I just want to ask, where is Jade Peak, the taste is so restrained." ”
"This is the high mountain jade peak of Annam Province." The shopkeeper's voice rang out again.
"Annam?" This time, Ye Qing was stunned. To the east of Quang Nam Province is Annam Province, and further east of Annam Province is the sea.
Annan Province and Quang Nam Province are adjacent to each other, what does the Jade Peak of Annan Province taste like, he Ye Qing knows it very well, he stuffed a tea leaf into his mouth and chewed it, it is indeed the taste of the Jade Peak in the high mountains of Annam, but, why can the taste be locked so tightly?
The shopkeeper saw that Ye Qing had eaten a piece of tea, he was a little annoyed, stood up, and said, "You person, why don't you taste my tea if you don't buy it!" ”
"Who said I wouldn't buy it." Ye Qing took out a silver ticket from his arms, which was from Jinli Commercial Bank, and it said one thousand taels on it. Such a number is enough to buy this store: "Is this enough enough?" I'm going to buy all the tea leaves in your shop. ”
The shopkeeper saw the silver ticket of one thousand taels, but he didn't look tempted at all, and said: "This is not good, many of the tea leaves I have here have been ordered by the Qin Palace, and the amount that can be sold every year is a fixed amount." ”
Hearing this, Ye Qing thought for a while, and said, "In this case, you sell me everything you can, and you can see how many." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he took out the accounts from under the counter and calculated them one by one, and soon, he raised his head and said: "Cuiyufeng, Annan and Ludong, five catties each, Zhuyeqing, three catties, Yanbei oolong, two catties, the rest, I'll take a look, that's all, the rest are ordered by Qin Wangfu, I don't dare to sell it to you." ”
Ye Qing was amused when he heard it, there was such a master who didn't want money, and said, "How much money does the Qin Wangfu give you, I will give you double." ”
"Who are you, in Tianjing City, dare to fight against the Qin Wangfu, how many heads do you have to cut off." The shopkeeper calculated a little and said, "A total of forty-two taels, do you want me to send it to your home?" ”
"You can put it up for me, and I can take it myself."
The shopkeeper didn't know where to find two or three sacks, ready to put the tea in it, Ye Qing frowned when he saw it, and said, "Forget it, you don't have to load it, I'll ask the family to bring something to pick it up tomorrow." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he took the sack and said, "Which official are you?" ”
"I'm not an official, haha." Ye Qing smiled, returned the silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, handed it over, and said, "I'm just a businessman." ”
"How can a merchant be so lascivious to you?" The shopkeeper took the hundred taels of silver tickets, then handed them back, and said, "I don't have much money to find you." ”
Ye Qing waved his hand: "I have a saying, would you like to hear it?" ”
"Say."
"You take this money, and I will give you 1,000 taels a year in the future, and you will fry tea for me, or you can teach me the craft of roasting tea."
"That's not good, teach you, what do I rely on for food."
Ye Qing raised his head and pointed to the book he was holding at the counter with his chin, and on the book cover was written "White Tiger Lecture Notes", which was a compulsory book for the Great Han Imperial Examination: "I will give you money, you will fry tea for me, and read more books for the rest of the time, maybe one day I will move home with a fame." ”
"I'll just see, in my life, I have no chance of fame." The shopkeeper said, he actually smiled, and said: "You are also an interesting person, if you come to me at the beginning of the year, I can sell you two catties of tea." ”
Ye Qing saw the shopkeeper sitting back behind the counter and said, "I'll leave now, and I'll send someone to fetch tea tomorrow." ”
"You're an interesting person, so I remind you that if there are any guards, you can call them out."
Ye Qing's footsteps about to step out of the door stopped, he slowly retracted his feet, turned to look at the shopkeeper, and said, "When did the shopkeeper feel it?" ”
"The first time I saw you." The shopkeeper didn't look up and said, "I'm safe here, and I can save your life, but when I get out of this door, I don't know if that person will do it." ”
"Sure enough, those who can do business with the Qin Wangfu are not mortals."
"It's just an ordinary practitioner. I think you have kung fu too, but that one is obviously very strong. ”
"I'm not afraid of him, my name is Ye Qing, and I dare to ask the name of the shopkeeper."
"It turned out to be Commander Ye, so my worries seem to be superfluous." The shopkeeper obviously knew who Ye Qing's name was, so he got up and bowed and said, "Doctor Xiacha." ”
Ye Qing returned the salute with a smile and said, "Then it's not strange." With that, he turned and walked outside.
Dr. Tea glanced at his back, sat back at the counter, and took the "White Tiger Handout" in his hand and looked at it.
Ye Qing went out and went straight to the southeast, and his house was also over there. He deliberately chose a place with few people along the way, but the person who followed him was never thrown off by him, and even now he didn't know who that person was, he could only feel the gaze of that person, and he never left him, but stayed at his vest.
At this time, don't look back, as long as you can't see, you are waiting to die.
Ye Qing has been walking unhurriedly, walking for a while, and finally came to the entrance of the alley to the house, he looked around, there was no one anymore, turned to stare at the corner of the alley, and said: "Why do the people in Tianjing City always like to do this, they want to kill me, come on, when will I Ye Qing escape?" ”
Footsteps suddenly sounded around the corner, and a man slowly walked out from behind the corner. The man was wearing a large cloak, but it was obvious that what should have been his left hand was sunken, and that he had a dry smoking gun without smoke in his mouth.
The moment Ye Qing saw that face, he recognized the other party and said, "I don't believe that a big thief who has disappeared will take my life for money." ”
Mo Yixian's right hand stretched out from under the cloak, held the dry smoking gun, and said, "I have been entrusted to watch over you." I will not be your enemy. ”
"You can beat me with one less hand?"
"Sneak attacks are always fine."
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Who sent you?" ”
"Feng."
Ye Qing only heard this one word, and knew who he was talking about, and said: "You don't have to follow me all the time, you go back and tell the old fox that my coming this time will not be unfavorable to the Qin Palace." ”
"I don't believe you."
"Believe it or not."
Ye Qing turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something funny, turned his head and said, "You know, I'm not the only one who noticed you." ”
"Who else."
"The shopkeeper of the tea shop."
"A martial artist?"
"It's Dr. Tea," Ye Qing looked at him, laughed, and said, "You won't forget who Dr. Tea is, hahahahahaha." Laughing, he went to the house.
Since Mo Waitian knew that he had been discovered, he had no reason to follow today, and planned to go back to the house to report Feng Tianshou first.
"Dr. Tea. It's been a long time since I've heard a name. Mo took the cigarette gun back into his mouth, turned and left.
