780. Chapter 777 Kapok Tea
Kapok Village, which occupies a circle of several miles, is surrounded by a circle of unique kapok tree poles of Bibo Star, forming a wooden wall more than ten meters high!
At this moment, a small team of three or five people on the wall, each fully armed guarding a corner of the wall, after Du Long's group of people flew into the village, these village guards did not relax their vigilance, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Du Long could clearly feel the tension in the entire village, and although the villagers he met along the way looked nervous, they didn't seem to be targeting the two strange visitors.
Noticing the difference in the expression on his face, the corners of the village chief Wu Jiangbo's mouth turned up slightly, but he did not take the initiative to explain why the atmosphere inside the village was so tense.
It can be seen that these five six-star level masters led by the village chief Wu Jiangbo have a very high prestige in this small village, and the villagers they meet along the way, regardless of men, women and children, will greet them very respectfully even if they are in a hurry!
Soon, they came to a courtyard in the middle of the village, and they could see that this courtyard was the largest in the whole village, and there was a special tree planted inside and outside the courtyard that was ten or twenty meters high, which was the kapok tree!
A group of people entered the main hall of the reception and sat down, and immediately a maid hurriedly served fragrant tea and tea, and after the maid retreated, Wu Jiangbo, the village chief who was sitting on the main seat, politely raised his hand and said: "Two distinguished guests, please use tea!"
I have long been attracted by the aroma of refreshments, and since the host has greeted them, Du Long and Xiao Sehuo unceremoniously picked up the teacups in front of them and took a sip one after another.
"Good tea! The mouth is fragrant, and then there is a sweet aroma lingering in the mouth, which will not go away for a long time!" Although Du Long, who has never liked to drink tea very much, and only likes to drink wine and eat meat, he can't help but praise this cup of tea.
"Haha, don't hide it from Brother Du Long, this is the fragrant kapok tea made by my Kapok Village, presumably the two distinguished guests have seen these trees growing in our Kapok Village, right?!They are the main source of kapok tea!" After receiving Du Long's praise, the village chief Wu Jiangbo was obviously very pleased, and several other six-star level existences also showed a slight smile on their faces.
It's a pity that behind the smiling faces of these people, there is a faint sorrow hidden, and there seems to be something unspeakable!
"Hehe, such fragrant tea must be very famous in the entire Bibo Star, right?!It's a pity that Zai Xia is just a rough person who likes to drink and eat meat, and he rarely goes to those teahouses to taste tea in Bibo City on weekdays, so he has never heard of the name of kapok tea!" Du Long calmly revealed his shortcomings.
Xiao Sehuo on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Hehe, you guy has only seen you go to the restaurant to eat and drink at most, except for cultivation all day long, and I really haven't seen you go to the teahouse!"
"Sister Huo'er is right, it seems that my brother and I will have to go to the teahouse to be a vassal in the future, haha!" Du Long could only laugh at himself and responded.
"Hahaha......" Everyone in the living room laughed when they heard the joke between their 'sister and brother', and the atmosphere that was still a little rusty immediately became much more relaxed.
After everyone stopped laughing, Du Long asked Wu Jiangbo politely again: "Village Chief Wu, I have met many villages along the way, but they are all guarding against our sister and brother like thieves, and they are not allowed to approach at all, why are you willing to invite strangers like us into the village? Aren't you afraid that we are bad people?!"
"Hehe! As I said just now, the two of them are full of righteousness and extraordinary bearing, they should be the children of big families in Bibo City, and we in the poor countryside have no wealth to get into the eyes of the two!" Wu Jiangbo waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "For example, our Kapok Village relies on these kapok tea in the village to make a little money, in addition, we don't steal or rob, there is no other source of wealth at all!"
"Oh?!Do the whole people in your village rely on this kind of kapok tea to make a living?!" Du Long said curiously: "Is it possible to feed the whole village with this little kapok tea?!"
Poof!
Xiao Sehuo squirted out the tea in her mouth on the spot, so rude in front of a few strangers, Rao couldn't help blushing even if she had the prestige of a little witch, and finally could only sprinkle her anger on Du Long, glaring at him coquettishly and said, "Do you know how good kapok tea sells in Bibo City?!"
"How good is it to sell?!" Du Long was a little confused by her exaggerated performance: "Isn't it just a bowl of tea?!
Xiao Sehuo was obviously speechless to Du Long, a layman who didn't understand tea at all, and rolled his eyes on the spot, revealing a delicate appearance that had lost to him, and said with a sweat on his forehead: "Kapok tea has only appeared in the Bibo City Teahouse for tens of thousands of years, but it quickly caused a sensation and popularity among people who are good tea! At the beginning, a pot of tea was only one purple gold coin, and now I am afraid that there are more than hundreds of purple gold coins!"
"Oh?!That's not very expensive! I sometimes order a dish in a restaurant, and it's worth thousands of purple gold coins, especially the fine wine I buy to honor my master is tens of thousands of purple gold coins a bottle!" Du Long didn't pay much attention to a pot of tea, which was only a hundred purple gold coins.
"You ......" Xiao Sehuo was obviously confused by Du Long, and he didn't know what to say about him: "Count your kid rich, right?! In short, people in this village make a living by selling kapok tea!"
"Haha! What the two of you said is very true, my Kapok Village relies on this little tea to support my family!" Wu Jiangbo interjected with a smile, and then sighed: "Alas! To put it mildly, a pot of tea is sold in Bibo City for one hundred purple gold coins, and we sell tea to them, and the tea used for a pot of tea is only two or three purple gold coins!"
"Isn't it?!" Du Long said in astonishment: "The gap between the two is too big, isn't it?!"
"Alas, those are nothing!" Wu Jiangbo shook his head and sighed again: "Presumably, the two of you have also understood all the way, there are robbers and robbers all over the way, and it is difficult to completely send a trip to the sky!"
"Isn't it true that those people from the teahouse came to receive the goods themselves?!, and you want to send them to the door in person?!" Du Long wondered, his words made everyone roll their eyes again, and obviously made a low-level mistake again, so he asked suspiciously, "Did I say something wrong?!"
"Boy, don't tell people outside in the future that I'm your sister, sister, I can't afford to lose this person!" Xiao Sehuo covered his forehead again, pretending to be a funny look that his sister didn't know you, and glared at Du Long with beautiful eyes.
"Hahaha!" In the hall, bursts of laughter rang out again.
Just when Du Long was a little confused, Wu Jiangbo smiled again: "Hehe! It must be because Du Long's brothers were born in a big family, and they have not been short of money since they were young, so it's not strange that they don't know the suffering of us people at the bottom!"
"In Biboxing, the kapok tree is not only in our village, it grows in many places, therefore, kapok tea has also become our Biboxing's specialty tea!"
"Because this tea is not unique to our village, there is competition when it is sold in the city, and we want to sell two or three purple gold coins for a pot of tea, so we still beg people to buy it!"
"How can those teahouses easily raise the price of tea? How can they be willing to take the risk of sending people out of the city to collect tea?
"In order to be able to reach Bibo City safely, we also have to buy road money from some robbers along the way, alas, it is not easy to survive outside the city!"
Finally understood the reason, Du Long couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for these villagers who were struggling at the bottom of the fairy world, and finally understood why there were so many robbers and robbers along the way!
"Village Chief Wu! I don't understand one thing very much, the five of you have reached the strength of the six-star level, it stands to reason that you should not have to live so hard to go out and take on some star-level tasks! Why do you want to stay in such a village, fighting with the sky and the earth?!" After being silent for a long time, Du Long couldn't help but ask another doubt in his heart.
It's no wonder that he thinks so, reaching the six-star level is definitely capable of living a good life independently, where is the need to live aggrievedly in such a small village?
Wu Jiangbo and a few companions beside him glanced at each other, and were about to open their mouths to answer Du Long's question, when they heard a delicate children's voice, and with the sound of a petite and delicate snow-white figure, they rushed into the living room, and then flew directly into Wu Jiangbo's arms.
"Grandpa!"
Du Long quickly saw the identity of this little figure, it was a beautiful little girl whose strength had just reached the Gangdan level, and she looked like she was only five or six years old, and it turned out to be the granddaughter of Village Chief Wu!
With a doting face, he hugged his good granddaughter and teased and appeased him, Wu Jiangbo threw a wry smile at Du Long and nodded, and there was no need to explain more.
Du Long is not stupid, naturally he has completely understood why these six-star level existences want to succumb to this, naturally because of the ties of their families!
"Grandpa! This big sister is so beautiful, Yun Yun will be as beautiful as the big sister when she grows up!" The little girl named Yun Yun looked at Xiao Sehuo with bright eyes, and said in a milky voice.
To tell you the truth, what woman doesn't love beauty? What woman doesn't like to be complimented on her beauty?!
Xiao Sehuo is obviously not exempt from vulgarity, if those adults who know her identity praise her so much, they may still wonder if the other party has a plan.
However, this kind of words came from the mouth of a five or six-year-old girl, and Xiao Sehuo fell in love with this little girl as cute as a doll on the spot!
"Is your name Yun Yun?!What a well-behaved and cute good boy, come over and hug the big sister!" Xiao Sehuo seemed to be particularly fond of this Yun Yun, and directly beckoned to her for a hug, and the little guy didn't know what politeness was, so he naturally left Wu Jiangbo's arms happily and threw himself into the arms of the little witch!
