Chapter 11: Inquire about the news
Uncle He smiled knowingly: "The little girl looks different from other girls, it turns out that she has just come out of the world, no wonder." ”
"Hehehehe." Xu Qiaoyou could only smile awkwardly at this time, no way, here, isn't she just a dirt bun who has never seen the world.
"This holy lord, but he is admired by the people of the world, we have not had a war for a long time, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment, mainly because he is out of the dust mountain, balancing the forces of all parties, because he likes peace, so no one dares to provoke a war. Our Holy Lord is not a mortal, just like a god in the sky, who came down to protect us. It is said that with a wave of his sleeves, he can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and he can also landslide and crack. The Holy Lord is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has a hobby in his life, which is to drink tea, so all the rich and powerful people in the world try their best to please him, in order to leave a good impression in front of the Holy Lord. ”
Xu Qiaoyou's first reaction was, this person can really pretend...... If you are really indifferent to fame and fortune and have no desires, how can you still leave a flaw in the world who loves tea?
"Then Uncle He, is that Tianji tea really as magical as rumored?"
"Tianji tea is the treasure of the dust mountain, and it is also a sacred object in the whole world, which not only cures all diseases, but also is said to help people become immortals."
Xu Qiaoyou was speechless, this rumor is really more and more outrageous the more you hear it, you can become an immortal, so why is that holy lord still in the world? Is it to experience life? Isn't he himself already on the rise?
"Stop and rest......" There was a shout in front of him, and gradually the convoy stopped, Xu Qiaoyou looked forward, he hadn't been walking for long, why did he stop again?
"Sister Youyou, what's wrong?" The loose basket in the car also woke up.
"I'll take a look." He Lao jumped out of the car and went to the front to inquire about the situation, and when he came back, he told them that they couldn't leave today, so they had to rest in place and set off again tomorrow.
"Why?" Xu Qiaoyou looked up at the still clear sky, this is still a while before it gets dark, right? Why stay here and waste time?
"The eldest lady of the Nie family said that she was tired and wanted to rest." He Lao looked like he was already used to it.
"This young lady is different from us rough people, how delicate her body is, she will definitely not be able to stand such a long time of bumps." Uncle He untied the horse sleeve as he spoke, and was about to take the horse to the stream next to him to drink water and eat some grass.
On the edge of the stream, the water was murmuring, Xu Qiaoyou squatted next to him and washed his face with water, it was so cool! The air in this ancient world is good, the water is good, the people in the convoy are directly by the stream to take water and drink, even the pine basket dares to drink directly, but she can't, although the water quality is crystal clear and not polluted, but her body has not yet adapted, at least not at present, and it should be okay after a long time, alas, she has become a weak woman here.
After a good rest, the sky gradually began to darken, everyone returned to the carriage in twos and threes, at this time, according to Ye Darttou's requirements, the entire convoy surrounded a circle, the most luxurious car was in the middle, the center of the circle lit a fire, the servant of the eldest lady of the Nie family was cooking rice, the aroma of rice was overflowing, as well as the smell of meat, the fragrance of vegetables mixed together, Xu Qiaoyou heard the sound of his stomach growling.
After taking the dry food from the baggage, Xu Qiaoyou looked around at the people around who were holding dry food in their hands like her, and there were people like Uncle He who were reluctant to eat and drink...... Look at Miss Nie's posture of a few dishes and a soup, alas, it is really Zhumen's wine and meat that stinks and has frozen bones......
She handed Uncle He two steamed buns and a piece of jerky, and then sat with the pine basket near the fire and gnawed slowly, dry and hard, I really wanted to eat a hot meal, this is the first day......
It was all dark, and the stars in the sky indicated that tomorrow would be a good day, and after eating, Uncle He said that according to the rules, men should guard the carriage of goods, and the women and dependents went back to the car, so she forcibly left him a cloak in Uncle He's refusal, returned to the car with a pine basket, laid out the bedding, and prepared to sleep.
She lay on the hard plank, perhaps tired from the day, and soon fell asleep......
Early the next morning, she was woken up by the noisy voices, Xu Qiaoyou opened her eyes and found that the pine basket beside her was gone, she sat up in a daze, looked at the small carriage, and had not come back to her senses for a while, suddenly the door curtain was lifted, she saw the smiling face of the pine basket, and a small bowl of porridge in her hand, and said happily to Xu Qiaoyou: "Sister Youyou, this is the leftover from Miss Nie's family, I will go and ask you for a bowl." ”
Xu Qiao looked at the small bowl of porridge in front of him in a daze, this stupid child: "I'm not hungry, you can drink it yourself." ”
"Sister Youyou, you vomited so hard from motion sickness yesterday, it will be more comfortable to drink some hot food."
"Songluo, you also said that it was yesterday, I am completely well today, you drink, you grow your body, drink quickly, while it is hot."
In the end, Xu Qiaoyou won, firstly, she really didn't like to drink porridge, and secondly, she was still in a state of confusion and had no appetite at all. After a brief wash, the convoy set off again.
In this way, after walking peacefully for several days, the convoy arrived at a small town, Ye Darttou had to replenish supplies in the town, so he had half a day to rest, Xu Qiaoyou looked at the dry food that had bottomed out, and finally breathed a sigh of relief......
The town is really small, just two streets, there is nothing to visit, just like the service area on the highway, Xu Qiaoyou quickly bought dry food, and went to a small restaurant with Songluo to eat a hot noodle soup, before leaving, he also asked the store to bring a bowl outside, ready to give it to Uncle He, this way, in fact, the hardest is him.
Uncle He finally had a hot meal in a thousand thanks, and after noon, the team set off on time, and Xu Qiaoyou sat next to Uncle He and chatted with him.
"Uncle He, I want to ask a question, since tea is so expensive, why don't you grow tea?" It's better than sleeping in the open and chasing a carriage like this, right?
"Girl, if tea leaves are so easy to grow, then it won't be worth much." Uncle He replied helplessly.
No, it stands to reason that tea is expensive because of quality and technology, not that the cost is expensive, nor is it that it is scarce and expensive, it should be that people in this era have not mastered planting technology? Or is it that those in power do not allow it?
"This shouldn't be a difficult thing, isn't it the law that doesn't allow large-scale cultivation?"
"It seems that the girl is also a person who understands tea? All the teas we have here are strictly screened, the tea-making process technology is in the hands of the big family, and we don't know how to grow tea trees......"
Xu Qiao was speechless, with the excellent survival environment of this era, there should be a lot of wild tea trees, and good transplantation and cultivation can also survive, she also wants to rely on modern knowledge to grow at least one good tea here to bribe the Holy Lord, get Tianji tea, and go back to save her mother as soon as possible......
