Chapter 031: An official meets a thief

Hundred miles of five kinds of incense: officials meet thieves

The horse's hooves rushed forward quickly, as if stepping on the wind, and the horse's hooves did not reach the ground, and a puff of smoke and dust rolled up behind the carriage.

Dong Ping in the car was shaken to the ground, coupled with the hangover and headache last night, he had urged the coachman to hurry up the horse, but now he just wants the horse to run smoothly. The coachman also slowed down a little along the way, not for the sake of the horse tenants, but for a group of bandits standing in the middle of the road.

The coachman was an acquaintance who often walked the wild road, and he greeted the various thieves one after another, and handed over two pennies to buy the road. This kind of driver has always taken the initiative to give the money to buy the road, so as not to be bored, and if there are many thieves, he may also tie up the owner of the car. If you tie up your customers, you can't get the car money, not to mention, your reputation for pulling the car by yourself will be bad in the future.

Dong Ping, who was sitting in the car, was about to take a nap with his head resting on his arms and wanted to sleep for a while, but the food in his abdomen was in a panic, and he couldn't sleep peacefully. I was half-asleep and woke up when I heard the coachman and the people outside greet each other one by one, nodding his head. I didn't care, because Dong Pingchu didn't know the customs on this wild road when he first came here.

Until noon, the sun was poisoning, and the journey was going for an hour, and the coachman said to Dong Ping: "Customer, it is noon now, and the horse is a little tired." Pingyang County still has an hour to arrive, now it is inconvenient to hurry, there happens to be a tea shop in front, let's rest here for a while. ”

Dong Ping thought to himself that this was also the case, it happened that he was in a hurry in the morning and had not eaten breakfast yet, and now his mouth was dry. So he got out of the car, and the coachman led the horse to the tea shed, tied the horse and walked straight to the tea shed. I saw that the signboard that had not been taken down for a long time, the red background and blue edges had long been unable to withstand the frost and wind, and the color had faded. Only the five words "Hundred Miles and Five Kinds of Incense" outlined by Mrs. Jiao with brocade lines back then can still distinguish the original color.

Dong Ping secretly praised in his heart, good words. Although the words of Baili and five kinds of incense are regular, but whether it is from the layout or calligraphy, it is a subdued and frustrating, and the wrist strength of the pen is also good.

Before Dong Ping and the two entered the tea shed, someone came out to greet the two. To the east of the tea shed, two children, three or four years old, a boy and a girl, were riding an old dog to bask in the sun on the ground. This old dog is really big, the size of a calf, with scattered hair, cloudy eyes, and a tongue sticking out and panting, this dog is also old. Occasionally, I call twice, and I usually don't call during the day because there are people in the tea shop who are calling. Otherwise, before Dong Ping came in, there would be a guy to greet him.

There is also a dog lying on the west side of the tea shed, these two dogs are the previous "tasting" and "reporting to the king" that were tied to the previous one, and now Jiao Ge'er's business is good, so he calls these two dogs "Zhaocai" and "Jinbao", and he will not be tied when he sees that the two dogs are also old. The men and women at the door were his children.

It was not Brother Jiao who greeted Dong Ping, but his buddy, although he failed to gain fame, but he always felt that reading books made people wise, so he always kept his hands on the paper for a day. He hid in a wooden hut behind the carport and read while burning the fire. The little things in the store are handled by the shopkeeper, and when it comes to the real big thing, he comes out to mediate.

Dong Ping sat down and hurriedly poured himself a cup of catechu to quench the hunger and thirst in his mouth, feeling that the water was extremely sweet and the tea was fragrant. said good tea, attracting the disdainful eyes of seven or eight people around, just this article and a pot of tea, you can refill the cup for free, this is a good tea, a soil bun.

The coachman was a little embarrassed, and thought to himself that my patron looked well-dressed and polite, and I saw that he was still coming out of the inn, so could he be a master who had never seen the world and had no money.

Dong Ping is a scholar, not to mention that he will become the parent official of Pingyang County today, half of the boundary between Pinggu County and Pingyang County belongs to Pinggu County, and the other half belongs to Pingyang County. This hundred-mile five-kind fragrant tea shop, in the middle of this realm, is also within the scope of my jurisdiction, and I shouldn't have opened my eyes to look at everyone.

"Little brother, just order what you want to eat, I'll treat you. Dong Ping untied the package tied to his back, and the thin one didn't contain anything, only a newly customized official mansion. The rest of the clothes will be purchased in Pingyang County. So at this time, Dong Ping brought a lot of silver taels on his body. When you go out, you must not reveal your wealth, nor your wealth. Therefore, the very elegant clothes worn by Dong Ping are not his best clothes.

When everyone heard that Dong Ping wanted to invite the coachman to eat something good, they laughed with contempt, and the coachman was not good. I thought that either this customer had never seen the world or had a problem with his brain, so I asked me to order it, there are only five things sold under the guise of this place, what else can I order. Steamed bread and pickles don't cost a lot of money! Customer, you are really generous! So I reluctantly ordered a bowl of gruel and a few buns, plus a plate of crispy pears. It's about eight cents, which is the best meal in this tea shop.

In fact, this is not to blame Dong Ping, Dong Ping is a character from a big place, not to mention the dried melons and fruits and fresh fruits in their teahouses, green plum soup, green phoenix marrow, lotus heart mint soup, golden swiftlet's nest, cherry wine, red dates and blood swallows, and swirling flower soup. Lingbo Narcissus and Baozhu Camellia, Bird's Nest Barley Sweet Soup, Wisp Golden Herb, Perilla Persimmon, Pine Nut Cake, Poria Cocos Cake, Japonica Porridge, Steamed Cheese with Sugar, Steamed Chestnut Flour Cake with Osmanthus Sugar, Ruyi Cake, Acacia Soup, Auspicious Fruit, Pearl Jade Rice Balls, Lotus Leaf Soup, Plum Blossom Cake, Fragrant Herb Drink, Rose Cake, Tangram Dim Sum, Flower Blossom Wealth, Jade Celery Shrimp Dumpling, Zhaoji Abalone Cup, Crystal Winter Melon Dumplings, all kinds of dim sum. There are often artists and storytellers in the tea shed, how could he have thought that Pingyang County is so depressed, and only five things are sold in a tea shop.

What Dong Ping said was not that he had not seen the world, but that he had seen the world too much. Hey, how can people in the ravines and ravines imagine the wonderfulness of the world outside the mountains.

Dong Ping was also hungry at this time, and also called some gruel, buns, sugar, and crispy pears to eat, and the two of them ate in a hurry, Dong Ping ate very fast in order to hurry, and the coachman was to avoid the strange eyes of everyone from time to time.

Dong Ping raised his head after eating, glanced at the coachman, and saw that he had almost eaten, so he shouted: "Little Er, settle the bill!" With a "bang", a silver coin was placed on the table.

At the time of the meal, seven or eight tables were full, and more than 20 people were shocked, and the diners who opened their mouths to pick up the rice silently stopped and let the food in their mouths stay there, not spitting or swallowing. They were all stunned.

One or two silver bills, it's not that these individuals haven't seen them, but they have never seen one or two pieces of silver in their hands can be consumed so lightly, is this showing off their wealth?

One tael of silver is equivalent to the purchasing power of 1,000 yuan, and in the suburbs of the county where the average monthly income is only 200 yuan, in order to pay for a dozen yuan, take out a check for 1,000 yuan?

The mental activity of each guest officer here is different.

Dong Ping doesn't care, it's a very casual thing to settle the bill with money, and besides, this silver coin is the smallest money in my waist, and the good love coachman can't let the family pay for it.

The coachman was first surprised and then regretted, did I want him to pay less than 200 yuan!

Most of the pedestrians think that this person is so rich, hehe, don't be complacent, you old boy, you have only walked half of this road, and you are ready to tie up the ticket for the remaining half of the road. It's a simple hatred of the rich.

Among the more than 20 people seated here, there were also bandits from the nearby bandits who stepped on the spot, and the bandits' minds were very confused. The bandits in Pinggu County, although they don't know Dong Ping, they often see this coachman. Just now I passed by their territory, but I didn't find that the car was sitting on a big fat sheep, how good it would have been if I had tied it just now, and now my intestines are repentant.

The bandits in Pingyang County are the closer to the tea shop's den, the happier the bandits are, thinking that the meat ticket business has not been done for a long time, and it will not be open for three years. The closer this blackbearded scholar is to our den, the better it will be for us.

The shopkeeper has never seen such a large amount of silver, and his thoughts are very pure: we don't have so much loose money to find him. The shopkeeper stood for a while, then picked up the silver coin on the table and suddenly ran into the firewood room, and many people's eyes moved with the silver coin to the place.

The shopkeeper told Brother Jiao about the matter, Brother Jiao was reading a book, and when he heard the silence outside the house, he thought that something was wrong, and when he saw Xiao Er coming in, he put down the book in his hand. After listening to Xiao Er's words, he took the silver coin in his hand and walked out of the firewood door, and made a gift to Dong Ping in the tea shed, and Dong Ping also changed a gift when he saw it.

"It seems that Brother Tai came from afar, I don't know that we should have more treasures in our mountains and villages, it's just that, I see that you are also a person who reads, and you are all educated by the witch god, and I am respectful of the landlord at your time. Brother Jiao said and returned the silver coin to Dong Ping's hands. Dong Ping is willing, the silver coin is in the hands of Brother Jiao and Dong Ping, and they all say that people are hypocritical. Everyone's eyes were also moving back and forth in both hands.

Suddenly, the coachman pulled Dong Ping's wrist, ran out of the tea shed with the burden on the table, came to the carriage, untied the rope of the carriage and horses, and the horses at this time were also full of food and drink and rested. I saw a group of people running out of the carriage, scolding their mother to the carriage outside the tea shed.
