It was almost dusk, but the world was still like a steamer, the heat wave was rolling and sultry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yan was in a hurry, his face was full of dust, and his clothes were already stained with white sweat.

He set off from the cottage and ran to the present in one go, and he didn't know how far he went, he didn't see many pedestrians along the way, let alone Zhang Liang and them, I don't know which road they went? Where is it now?

Li Yan looked up at the sky, it seemed that he had to find a place to borrow a place to stay overnight, but in the deserted and wild, where could he find a place to stay?

After moving forward for a while, turning a corner, suddenly the willows were dark, and a straw shed tea shop appeared in front of him.

Now Li Yan was stunned, didn't he say that tea only appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties? Why is there a tea shop here? Still in the middle of nowhere! Could it be that tea was popularized to this extent in the early Qin and Han dynasties?

Li Yan couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of history!

In fact, there are different opinions about the origin of tea drinking: tracing the origin of tea drinking by Chinese, some believe that it began in ancient times, some believe that it began in Zhou, and there are also claims that it originated in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty, and the main reason for the divergence of opinions is that there was no "tea" character before the Tang Dynasty, but only the record of the word "Tu", until Lu Yu, the author of the Tea Sutra, wrote the word "tea" by subtracting one painting, so there is a saying that tea originated in the Tang Dynasty. Others are still said to have originated in Shennong and in the Qin and Han dynasties. Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty recorded in the "Book of Tea": "Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's." "In the history of China's cultural development, the origin of everything related to agriculture and plants is often attributed to Shennong. The theory that Chinese tea drinking originated in Shennong has also derived different views due to folklore. Some people think that tea is Shennong in the wild kettle pot boiling water, just a few leaves floated into the pot, boiled water, its color is slightly yellow, drink in the mouth to quench thirst, refresh the mind, to Shennong's past experience of tasting herbs, judge it is a medicine and discovered, this is the most common statement about the origin of Chinese tea drinking. Chang Xuan is also in "Huayang National Chronicles. Ba Zhi recorded: "King Wu of Zhou fell, the master of Bashu, and the tea and honey were all tribute." This record shows that when King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty conquered, the state of Ba had already paid tribute to King Wu of Zhou with tea and other precious products. It is also recorded in the "Huayang National Chronicles" that there were artificially cultivated tea gardens at that time. According to this record, in the Qin Dynasty, it was indeed common for people to drink tea.

Li Yan approached the tea shop and saw several farmers sitting at the table, drinking tea boredly; There were also three well-dressed noblemen sitting together, as if talking something; The most conspicuous thing is a middle-aged man in extraordinary clothes, he is sitting in a corner of the tea shop, drinking tea silently, and his demeanor is very majestic.

In the outer corner of the tea shop, there were also a few middle-aged beggars gathered together, they were dressed in rags, and their faces were not so pale that they could often find food. They kept groping around on their bodies, stuffing things they touched into their mouths from time to time, and chewing them a few times, as if they were catching lice.

Not far from these beggars, there was a little beggar sitting alone, although not far from the middle-aged beggars, he was also very different from them, not close to them, and seemed extremely lonely. The little beggar was skinny, unclothed, his face was dirty, and he could hardly see the color of flesh, only a pair of smart eyes blinking timidly.

Li Yan swept around vigilantly, then walked straight to a table in the corner of the tea shop and sat down.

Li Yan called Xiao Er and asked for a pot of tea and a few dough cakes.

When the tea came up, I saw a few strange leaves floating in the ceramic bowl, which is also called tea? Li Yan only took a slight sip, and he did doubt that the tea of this era was real tea. As soon as the tea entered his mouth, Li Yan's brows furrowed, and he had an urge to squirt out, which is also called tea? How is it more bitter than traditional Chinese medicine!

Li Yan looked at the people around him, watching them enjoy drinking so much, and couldn't help but think, are they all masochists? However, he didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth, and he swallowed it into his stomach with his eyes closed!

As soon as the tea entered the stomach, it let him taste a faint fragrance!

Although there is no tea fragrance of later generations, it can also taste the fragrance in the bitterness!

There is also a hearty thirst-quenching feeling!

So, Li Yan poured a few bowls in a row, until he felt no longer so thirsty, and then he stopped. Li Yan stretched his body, and then sat down and ate the bread. After pouring a stomach of tea, Li Yan didn't feel so hungry, he chewed slowly and ate the bread, and listened to the conversation of the guests in the tea shop.

When the peasants saw a few gorgeously dressed people, they thought they were nobles somewhere, and they were quite in awe, but they just bowed their heads and drank tea, but did not dare to speak.

It was the three young people who kept talking, and although the voice was not loud, it also clearly fell into Li Yan's ears. Now Li Yan is not the same as it was then, after nearly a year of training, he now has excellent ear power, and can clearly hear the sound of insect activity dozens of meters away, and the whispered conversation of the three young people is of course no problem for Li Yan.

I only heard the young man with his back to him say: "I heard that the First Emperor is going to travel east again, and he has to pass through us."

The young man facing him continued: "Alas! Isn't it? On his trip, the places he passed were full of public grievances! Our family is going to be ruined again. ”

The young man on his side took a sip of tea and said, "You guys are okay, the family has surplus wealth, so I don't care much about this money, but my eldest brother is the only one in my family to make a living, for me to study and study, so if you add taxes, our family has problems in life."

The young man sighed after speaking, drank tea again, and said no more.

After hearing this, the young man who faced him persuaded him: "Brother Chen, don't worry, you have learned to be rich and five cars, and one day you will definitely be able to show what you have learned, and it will not be too late for you to repay your brother at that time."

I only heard the young man on the other side say again: "Originally, after Qin unified the six countries, I could hope that there would be no more wars, no more killings, the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and I could also show what I had learned in my heart." Unexpectedly, the first emperor paraded many times, consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and added too much forced labor, and the people were miserable. Qin's laws are too strict, which makes the descendants of nobles from all countries even more dissatisfied, and if there is no successor master, there will be a resurgence of trouble! ”

The young man with his back to him hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, picked up the tea and said, "Drink tea, drink tea."

After drinking tea, he continued: "You and I are clothy, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs, be careful that the wall has ears, and besides, I heard that Gongzi Fusu is very far-sighted, and he must be a master later."

Li Yan listened to their conversations, especially the young man who was called Brother Chen on the other side, and he couldn't help but look over, only to see that the young man surnamed Chen had a face like a crown of jade, with long black hair draped behind him, and the ends of his hair were casually tied by a straw rope, looking particularly chic and uninhibited. Although he was sitting, he was half a head taller than the two young men, which showed that he was tall and burly, and this was definitely an authentic beautiful man.

The young man surnamed Chen may have sensed that someone was looking at him, and looked up at Li Yan, Li Yan smiled slightly and nodded to show friendship, and the young man Chen Xing also nodded slightly and smiled in return.

At this time, the young man facing him looked at the sky and suddenly said, "It's not early, we should go, otherwise we won't be able to find a place to stay and sleep in the wilderness."

The other two nodded yes, and they packed up their things to leave.

At this time, the young man surnamed Chen saw that there were still two dough cakes left on the table, he turned his head to look at the beggar outside the tea shed, picked up two dough cakes, and walked straight to the beggar outside the tea shed.

The abnormal behavior of the young man surnamed Chen attracted the attention of the guests drinking tea in the tea shed, and Li Yan secretly praised in his heart, this person is not only extraordinary, but also kind-hearted and compassionate.

I saw that his figure when he stood up was even taller, and his demeanor was full of elegance, and he seemed to be a weak scholar.

The young man surnamed Chen walked in front of the thin beggar, and saw that the little beggar was staring at the two cakes in his hand, he smiled bitterly, and gave one of the cakes to the little beggar, after the little beggar got the cake, he couldn't thank him, so he devoured it, no, he couldn't call it to eat at this time, it should be stuffed into his mouth, and the two cheeks that were stuffed were bulging high, but he still kept stuffing it into his mouth, which showed how long he hadn't eaten.

The young man surnamed Chen couldn't help but shake his head, smiled bitterly, and looked at the middle-aged beggars not far away, only to see that their hungry wolf-like eyes were shining green, they didn't dare to fight the idea of the noble son, but they stared at the dough cake in the little beggar's hand, as if they would pounce on it and grab the dough at any time.

The young man surnamed Chen pondered for a while, just like those middle-aged beggars walking. And he stood still before them, and said, "This bread is for you, and you shall divide it, and do not fight the idea of the bread in the little beggar's hand any more."

With that, the young man surnamed Chen threw the cake on the ground, and then turned around and beckoned the two young men to leave.

One of the beggars saw that the noble son had turned around and left, so he quickly got up and picked up the cake on the ground, patted the soil stuck to it with his hand, but he didn't expect that the more he patted, the dirtier it became, and he blew it vigorously with his mouth before handing it to a fierce-looking beggar in the middle with a sneer.

The fierce-looking beggar took the bread, smiled at the man with satisfaction, and didn't care about the other beggars around him, so he ate it beautifully, eating, eating, maybe he felt that they were looking at him, the beggar stopped, and saw that they were still swallowing saliva in their mouths, so he pulled a long tail and said, "You want to eat~"

The other beggars nodded their heads busily, and their saliva fell to the ground.

The fierce-looking beggar looked up at the three noblemen, and saw that they had gone some distance, so he bowed his mouth to the little beggar, and did not speak, but bowed his head and began to eat.

Li Yanxin said, "That little beggar is going to suffer", and sure enough, those people surrounded the little beggar. At this time, the little beggar's face was flushed from eating the cake too quickly, and most of the bread was in his hand.

When the little beggar saw them coming around, he quickly took the rest of the bread in his arms, looked at them with pleading eyes, and shrank back.

The young man surnamed Chen seemed to be aware of it, glanced back, and when he saw this scene, he was about to step forward to stop it. One of the young men hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry about it, there are so many injustices in the world, how can we manage them?"

Just as he hesitated, one of them had stepped forward to grab the bread from the little beggar's hand, but the little beggar refused to give it to him by covering it with his body.

The beggar was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked at him, and the people around him subconsciously closed their eyes, not daring to look at this tragic scene, only to hear a terrible scream, "Ah"! Then there was a "bang" sound of landing.

The guests were wondering how there was a sound of landing. Could it be that the beggar was so strong that he kicked the little beggar away? After this, the little beggar just didn't lose his life, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to move.

When they opened their eyes, they saw that the little beggar was still sitting there peacefully, and not far from the middle-aged beggar who had just kicked the little beggar who fell to the ground.

What the hell is going on? Could it be that you have encountered a ghost?
