Su Yan got up early in the morning, put on the bamboo basket, carried a small shovel and hurried to the bamboo forest. On the way, I met Zuo Qing, he was wearing a rag strap torn from some torn clothes on his hand, and he hung it around his neck and tied a strange-shaped knot, only Su Ming could create such a masterpiece in the whole world, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.

Just because of these two more glances, Zuo Qing originally intended to pass by, but stopped again at this time, looking at the bamboo basket and shovel with a puzzled expression: "What are you going to do?" ”

Su Yan picked up the basket and said happily: "Pick melons!" Then I took it to the market to sell, the melons I planted were sweet, I want to say second in this town, no one dares to say first! ”

Zuo Qing raised his head and looked around, a little dazed, "This is obviously a tavern, you don't open the door to do business but go to the market to sell melons?" Strange to say, when I met you yesterday, you were collecting medicine...... What exactly do you do? ”

Su Yan couldn't help but feel sad, if he relied on Master's broken tavern, he would not be able to drink the northwest wind.

"But you're having trouble?"

Su Yan sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" ”

The person in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to care, so he responded perfunctorily and walked away. Su Yan didn't come out of anger, and said in his heart: This person is inexplicable!

Su Yan is nineteen years old, which is the age when the daughters of various families have already given birth to children, but she is empty in the boudoir, and no one cares! So much so that the neighbors took it as a laughing stock. Su Yan didn't care, she still went out for a stroll every day, happy and the neighborhood men went up the mountain to collect medicine, and when she was unhappy, she set up a stall to do business, staring at the mother-in-law who chewed the root of her tongue to grab business, for which she was famous in the town, and the neighbors in the street avoided her.

Going out was delayed for a while, and when she went to grab the stall, there was no place for her, and only the most remote corner was left and no one looked at it. Spread out the cloth, pick a few of the best quality from the basket and put them on the table, then took out the pu fan from his arms, raised his hand to the peers next to him and said, "Accept and let it!" ”

But the woman said strangely, "Yo! This is not the daughter of the Su family, why is your master willing to sell you? This is not a comfortable job, and your master is too unsympathetic, so it is better to marry early, and save yourself from showing up, right? ”

"Yes, yes!" The little old man on the opposite side took over the conversation: "You are also old, if you don't find a good family, you will be yellow!" ”

As soon as you said a word, Su Yan was dizzy when he heard it, and he couldn't help but take a sip and said, "What did you eat this morning?" One or two's mouth stinks so much? ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly: "We also care about you, look at yourself, dress up like this and run to the street to sell, which son is willing to look at you?" Except for the half-idiot and half-stupid lone seedling of the Li family, when you are a treasure! ”

Alas! It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, and you can't sell a melon quietly! Just as he was about to attack, a shadow suddenly blocked the sunlight and did not move. She thought it was a guest, and happily wanted to greet her, but she didn't think it was Zuo Qing.

I saw him standing in front of the stall like an ice sculpture, staring intently at the melons on the ground and saying, "Your master asked me to inform you, pick up some firewood when you go back, and then collect the rent of the pawnshop." ”

The sun is shining brightly, but Zuo Qing stands here, but he feels like he is in winter. Su Yan complained: "Can you bring some popularity when you speak?" ”

Zuo Qing didn't answer, still stubbornly standing in front of him, as if waiting for her reply. Su Yan shook his head, sighing how could there be such a strange person in the world, how could he take him in, how could he still look like he loved to answer, as if someone owed him five hundred silver, it was really rare! He complained to himself: "Chop wood, chop wood, take me as a person?" Think you're a nobleman or an official? Call me all day long, and so are you, and you will pass on whatever he says, how long have you known each other? Su Yan looked at him, and suddenly had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly pulled him over: "Since you listen to my master so much, then I am his apprentice, and you should also listen to me, right?" ”

The corners of Zuo Qing's mouth rose slightly, and he knew in his heart: "Help you sell melons?" ”

"Yikes!" Su Yan looked shocked and said, "How do you know? ”

He frowned and didn't speak. Su Yan thought that he couldn't let go of his son, so he couldn't help but be disappointed, and was about to give up, but Zuo Qing nodded, and a cool voice came: "Yes." ”

Surprised and overjoyed, Su Yan bowed respectfully and said to him: "Mr. is really capable of bending and stretching, and he will definitely be able to achieve a great career in the future!" I'll leave it to you. He said that he was going to turn back. Two figures suddenly came over, one was skinny like dry wood, and the other was short and fat like pig essence, and they came straight to this side. Su Yan looked at it, it was a coincidence that the road was narrow, it was actually the rival Li Yan, and his father Li Ghost, who couldn't eat and sleep well if he didn't squeeze people that day!

Su Yan called her unlucky, and she hurriedly rolled up the melon to escape, regardless of whether Zuo Qing followed or not, she didn't want to be unlucky early in the morning, and she couldn't hide if she couldn't afford it!

Although Ghost Li deliberately squeezed her two sentences, he really couldn't keep up with the speed, but his son rushed like lightning and attacked, blocking her way in a blink of an eye, and at this time, Ghost Li also followed out of breath.

Su Yan hugged the melon in his arms tightly and gave Zuo Qing a look, Zuo Qing understood, and blocked in front of her.

Sure enough, he is a humble gentleman!

Li Yan has always been Su Yan's follower, no matter how much he is disliked, no matter how much the two families turn against her, he will always follow her, but it has not been able to alleviate the effect. And now a suave young man suddenly appeared to save the beauty of the hero, and his heart suddenly turned over the river and the sea, and his eyes were immediately as red as rabbit eyes, staring at Zuo Qing and wanting to go up and tear him. And before Ghost Li could take a breath, he popped out his middle finger full of golden rings, crackled and began to spit Xingzi: "Girl, why do you run away when you see me?" Yesterday, I heard that your master got a good thing, what's the matter, I'm afraid I'll rob it? Hey! Who are you and I Li Ghost, who doesn't know who I Li Ghost knows, that's a businessman who does his duty, you must have done something wrong, just run away when you see me? His voice was hoarse, like a duck being trampled on his neck.

Su Yan looked at the two fathers and sons in front of him, and his heart seemed to be blocked by some and feces all of a sudden, and he felt like vomiting. But he still had to bow respectfully and greet: "Uncle Li." ”

Li Gui pinched his goatee and stared at her with interest, and at this time he was out of breath, and he spoke with confidence, "Is your restaurant about to close down before you came out to set up a stall, why do you have such a hard time?" Just sell me the restaurant, and you will have a good life of eating and drinking in the rest of your life, why don't you think about it! ”

Li Yan echoed with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can be with Ah Yan in the future!" ”

Su Yan rolled his eyes fiercely, and then put on a smile again, "What did Uncle Li say, my family's restaurant business has always been good, and selling a restaurant is impossible for him to die!" Besides, so many people are setting up stalls, I will also try my luck, make more money without violating natural principles, is it possible that those who come to set up stalls are poor? She deliberately said the last sentence out loud, and it exploded on the street, and the mother-in-law blushed angrily, looking at Ghost Li's eyes and almost eating people. A few strong men simply picked up the guy and made a gesture to come over, Li Ghost was so frightened that he quickly admitted his mistake, and the next moment he had already pulled his half-stupid son and fled.

Su Yan looked at the shadow that disappeared quickly and sighed, after living for so many years, today is the first time to breathe, it is really enjoyable! Without saying a word, the business was not done, and Zuo Qing found a restaurant to have a full meal.

It is said that people are short and eat people with soft mouths, although Zuo Qing has an indifferent temperament, but no matter how he says it, he is just an ordinary man, and he still understands a little sophistication. After a meal, his mouth finally loosened a little, knowing the cause and effect of the coincidental encounter in the valley that day, it turned out that he had gone all the way north to Rongguo, but he didn't expect to be separated from the servant halfway, but he saved Su Yan by mistake.

Su Yan knocked on the wine bowl with chopsticks, and said leisurely: "It's really fate, since there is fate, it's better for us..." Unexpectedly, this sentence attracted Zuo Qing's interest, picked up the wine jug and poured a bowl, raised the wine glass to salute her: "Although I met the girl in Pingshui, it was also a friend of life and death, so I took wine as an alliance and became friends." After that, he raised his head and slowly drank the wine in the cup, and continued, "In Xia Rong Guoren's clan, I have served as a court errand in Beijing, and if the girl has the opportunity to go to Ruoshui in the future, she will definitely be hospitable." ”

Su Yan looked stunned and wiped the water stains on the side of her mouth while pinching the corners of her sleeves, while smiling slightly at herself, such a beautiful picture made her heart beat a drum, and when she came back to her senses, she felt ashamed, and hurriedly raised the wine cup to salute back, and said to him: "Rong Guo I am familiar, I will definitely go in the future, then you can take care of me a lot, once you say it, it is difficult to chase the horse!" ”

Zuo Qing nodded in agreement, and then changed the pot of tea to moisten his throat, but was stopped by Su Yan. She picked up the teapot, opened the lid and smelled it, looked at it again, and said: "The tea leaves have no luster, they are not freshly picked, the heat is not enough when they are fried, and they are damp when they are stored. Finally, he concluded: "The store is really black-hearted." ”

A bright color appeared in Zuo Qing's eyes: "Then what kind of tea is considered high-quality?"

Su Yan patted the table and said excitedly: "You are asking the right person!" In addition to drinking and fighting, making tea is my second biggest hobby in life! This tea bar, generally picked before May, the method of picking tea is also very particular, the heat should be properly controlled when stir-frying, and it needs to be constantly stir-fried, and then go to the fire five inches, and finally wrapped in the above soft paper, stored in a dry place, the essence of tea will not disperse. Then there is boiling tea and drinking tea, these two points are the monopoly of the dignitaries, and the general magnates like to use mountain spring water to cook tea, because the water of mountain springs is delicate and pure, and making tea is of course the best choice. Of course, some people like to store the snow water of the old year and use it to make tea at the beginning of spring, and the taste is also very unique..."

Zuo Qing put the teacup on the table and said in a low voice: "That... I kind of know the process. ”

Su Yan sighed a little unsatisfied.

"You talk about it, but you have the appearance of a teacher, I see that you are good at learning, but it's a pity."

"Pity? I also blow this technique, really move the real style, and I have not been picked by my predecessors into a fishing net. ”

Zuo Qing smiled narrowly.

The more Su Yan spoke, the more interested he became, crossed his legs, and said boldly: "It's best for me to drink and fight, and the knowledge of the tea ceremony is still for the dignitaries to play." Saying that, he drank another half pot of wine, and dragged Zuo Qing to drink with him, and the wine order, guessing and boxing, all declined. At last he was half drunk, jumping and laughing, until the twilight was four, and the street lamp was hung high, and he leaned on his shoulder before he stopped a little.

Since the fight, Zuo Qing has never dared to drink with her again, but this is all for later.
