Chapter 1578: A Little Experiment
After the carriage left the Qin Palace, it soon left the city from the south, and everyone didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing, and they were all curiously waiting for him to explain.
However, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, just looked out the window in a daze, and didn't raise his hand and point until he went out of the city for nearly half an hour, when he passed by a riverside hut: "Go there." ”
There? What's there? Looking at the empty riverside and the inconspicuous hut, everyone looked at Li Chengqian and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.
"In the past!" Li Chengqian continued to point to the inconspicuous hut and emphasized.
Yes, the king of Qin has an order, and the past will pass.
Su Meng, who was driving the carriage in front, waved his whip lightly, drove the carriage off the main road, and headed towards the riverside hut.
……
There are some clothes drying outside the cabin by the river, and then there are some fish and shrimp caught from the river, which seem to be uneaten, so they are dried outside and left for winter consumption.
The cabin was very broken, broken to the point that it could be blown down by the wind.
The roof of the hut was covered with thatch, but it was thick in some places and thin in others, and it was evident that it had not been cleaned for a long time.
The carriage quickly arrived outside the hut under Su Meng's drive, and at this time, an old man in his sixties also came out from the inside, and looked at Li Chengqian, who was getting off the carriage, tremblingly: "A few nobles, but do you want to ask for directions?" ”
"Uncle, can we rest here with you? The horses had run a long way and were a little tired. Li Chengqian stopped Su Meng, who wanted to step forward to answer, stepped forward in person, and said to the old man with a smile.
Are you a liar? A trace of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes, and he looked at the tall horses that were shiny and slippery and did not even have a little dust on their bodies, and then looked at Li Chengqian.
However, there are many problems with rich people in these years, and it is not easy to offend, and there is no need for the old man to expose Li Chengqian's lies, and after looking him up and down with cloudy old eyes, he said: "Then, if those nobles don't dislike the poor conditions, come in." As he spoke, he turned and led the group towards the small hut.
Li Chengqian followed behind the old man and turned around to show a funny smile, which resulted in the collective contempt of everyone from Lao Bao to Di Renjie.
……
The hut wasn't big, and it looked a little cramped when you entered it, and the dim light covered everything with a gray color.
Li Chengqian was the second to enter the room, and after standing at the door and looking inside, he sighed: "Uncle, you live here alone?" ”
"The old man lives with his son, but it's still early, and the baby is still busy outside, so he won't be back until later." The old man leaned over, and while answering, he moved out a small stool: "The conditions are simple, and the nobles are wronged, so the old man will go and boil some water for you." ”
"Excuse me, old man." Li Chengqian did not stop the old man, smiled and took the small stool and sat at the door.
The room was too dark, too depressing to stay in, and far less comfortable than sitting in the doorway.
"Your Highness, ...... you are" Yang Yuxin really didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, so she came to him and asked in a low voice.
"It's that simple to understand the people's feelings." Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at Yang Yuxin.
Yang Yuxin stopped talking, raised her head and glared at Bao Longtu.
Li Chengqian has always hid in the palace and never came out, and as soon as this old bag came, he immediately thought of observing the people's feelings, and he didn't have to think about it to know that this must be the result of Lao Bao's instigation.
……
After waiting for a while, the old man came back with a pot of water and a jar, and Su Meng followed aside, holding a few bowls with missing corners in his hands.
Then, under the strange gaze of everyone, the old man took out some tea leaves from the jar, put them into several bowls, and then poured the boiled hot water into them.
"Uncle, you're making tea, right?" Li Chengqian licked his lips and glanced at Bao Longtu.
"Don't hide it from your nobles, it's tea!" The old man looked at Li Chengqian's gaze with awe at this time, but it was not very obvious.
The nobles who came out of Chang'an City, whether they were rich sons or first-class princes, were actually the same for the old man.
It's like we grassroots look at those billionaires, even though they have more assets and some less, but for us...... It's all too much money to spend, and as for who is higher and lower than each other, there is no need to know the same.
"I didn't expect it, my husband, you can drink tea here, it seems that your life is not bad." Li Chengqian didn't notice the slight difference in the old man's eyes, but just looked at the steaming bowl on the table and said with a little meaning.
"Uh-huh, yes, yes." The old man replied with a wince, making people not look good at all.
"Oh." Li Chengqian nodded, and continued to ask casually: "Then this tea...... Do you drink it every day? ”
"Well, yes, drink it every day!" The old man glanced outside without a trace, and then said.
With a "bang", the bowl that had just been picked up by Li Chengqian was heavily put aside, and everyone was startled by his actions.
"Let's go!" Without explanation, without hesitation, after putting the bowl down, Li Chengqian got up abruptly and strode out of the room towards the carriage.
"Ah, Your Highness." Su Meng and the others didn't know what Li Chengqian was crazy again, so they hurriedly chased him out, Lao Bao and Di Renjie were no exception, leaving the old man alone in a daze in the house, not knowing where he provoked this young prince.
"Old Bao, did you see that?" Li Chengqian walked to the side of the carriage angrily, and looked at Bao Longtu and the others who came later: "This is the place where this king temporarily came to work, look at the dilapidated house, do you believe that this is a family that can drink tea?" I drink it every day. And I don't need to say the tea in that bowl, Lao Bao, I'll ask you, can you afford to drink it every day. ”
Bao Longtu shook his head, indicating that he couldn't afford to drink this thing at all.
Because that tea is a tribute at all, ordinary people may not be able to drink it even if they are rich.
"Now you know why my father and I don't come out, right?" Li Chengqian saw that Lao Bao didn't answer, so he continued to ask.
Bao Longtu nodded this time, showing that he understood.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything more, and got into the carriage along the open door, but at the last moment, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the people who came out with him: "Lao Tzu knows here, Lao Tzu will come again, if something happens to this old man, this king will definitely cut off your heads, do you understand?" ”
"Yes!" The people who followed Li Chengqian replied in unison.
This is the problem that Xiao Li just thought of, he can angrily throw the bowl and leave, but the guys who want to slap the horse think that he is angry with the old man, if he doesn't tell him, I'm afraid that the old man won't even survive tonight.
