Chapter Ninety-Six: Smell the Fragrance
Early morning.
A gentle breeze blew, and a light rain fell from the sky, wetting the ground with a layer of floating soil, and the air was much fresher.
Ma Zicai took the lead, walking in the front, with a height of more than 1.9 meters and a resolute and tough appearance, he walked with dragon and tiger steps, and between his gestures, he exuded a heroic and uninhibited chivalrous spirit, such a person, no matter where he appeared, no one dared to underestimate him.
The clerk of Baoxiang Flower Shop is no exception, I saw such a big man striding forward from a distance, and then looked at the expression on his face, solemn with anger, not at all like buying flowers, I couldn't help but get nervous, if it wasn't for the fact that behind this big man, there was also a woman who was as light as a chrysanthemum, I was afraid that someone couldn't help but go to the police.
Pang Xie followed behind the two, in all fairness, he was more than one meter eight tall, although his skin was darker, his face was handsome, and he had a vigorous and heroic spirit from the inside out, no matter where he was, he was very eye-catching, but today, Ma Zicai and Huang Ying walked in front, and several clerks didn't notice him.
The three of them walked very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed the road and came to the door of the flower shop, and without saying hello, they strode into the flower shop, bypassed the iron flower stand in front of them, and came to the main hall of the flower shop, and everything in the workshop was suddenly clearly presented in front of the three people.
Just behind the screen, there are two rows of flower stands on the east and west walls, and there are all kinds of Chinese and foreign flowers on the shelves, including traditional Chinese flowers, such as peonies, green chrysanthemums, spring orchids, yueji, rhododendrons, daffodils, etc., as well as tulips, heather, cornflowers, edelweiss, dahlias and so on from other regions of the world.
Pang Xie glanced at it, there were many varieties of flowers and plants, most of which he didn't recognize, although there was only one pot of each, but the shelves were also full, and there was almost no room for it.
In the middle of the two groups of flower stands, there is a wide and wide solid wood coffee table, several sides are cut from a whole piece of mahogany, not painted, slightly polished, above the coffee table is placed a stone tea sea, behind the tea sea is a wooden pier, a person sits cross-legged.
This person looked to be about forty years old, white and clean, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, thin figure, wearing a light gray Tang costume, a pair of black cloth shoes, with his head down, bent over, boiling water in a small cast iron pot, and a teapot next to him, it seemed that he was preparing to make tea, and he also had a pair of walnuts in his hand, looking very leisurely.
Hearing the footsteps of the three people, this person raised his head, his eyes swept over the three of them, and finally stopped at Pang Xie, who was walking at the back, he smiled, his face was calm, and said: "A few people have worked hard all the way, the water is about to boil, let's wait for a while, drink a cup of tea to moisten our throats, and talk about it later." ”
The three of them glanced at each other and nodded to each other, signaling that there was no need to worry, so Pang Xie smiled slightly and said, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
There are also several wooden piers in front of the coffee table, and the three of them each take one and sit in front of the coffee table.
Seeing Pang Xie and the others sitting down, this person also smiled, raised his head and shouted at the door of the store: "Songtao, come here." ”
Before the words fell, a clerk walked in quickly and asked loudly, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"I have something to talk to these guys, you go out and tell a few other guys, you don't have to be busy today, you have a day off, you can leave, remember to leave when you leave, close the door, and hang up the sign that is temporarily closed by the way." The man said with a smile.
"Ah, boss, are you really okay?" the clerk named Songtao looked at Pang Xie and the others suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay, what can it be?" the man waved his hand and motioned for the clerk to hurry out.
The clerk hesitated, but retreated, shouting to a few other people to close the door, hanging up a sign saying "temporarily closed", and after a while, a few people left, and the inside of the flower shop suddenly fell silent.
......
"The water is boiling, let's make the tea first, and talk while drinking. ”
When the door of the shop was closed, the water was almost boiling, and while talking, the man lifted the lid of the teapot, put some tea leaves in, and took out a few tin foil packets from the side, all of them opened, and inside were different kinds of dried petals, each pinched a little, put them in the teapot together, poured the boiling water that had just been boiled, and a unique fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"What do you call the boss?" asked Ponche.
"My surname is Li, my name is grass, you just call me to leave the grass. Although Licao was talking to Pang Xie, her eyes were fixed on the teapot.
"The grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, this name is very interesting. Pang Xie laughed.
"The guest misunderstood, when I was named, the family didn't think so much, there was a big brother called Lishu, and a sister called Lihua, so I could only call Licao. As he spoke, Licao took out a few teacups, and poured out four cups of tea in the pot, which was almost finished, and handed them to Pang Xie, Huang Ying, and Ma Zicai.
Huang Ying and Ma Zicai took the teacup and gently put it in front of them, without even touching their lips, if Han Xiao didn't deceive people, the boss in front of him was one of the six desire messengers in the Peach Blossom Sect, and the tea he made was still not drunk.
Only Pang Xie was not polite, picked up the teacup, ignored the boiling water, raised his head and drank it all, and suddenly felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant.
Unlike the other two, he has a "medicine" supernatural power to protect his body, and even if there is something wrong with this tea, it can't hurt him, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.
"Refreshing!" Licao praised.
"Isn't it just a cup of tea, what's refreshing?" said Pang Xie with a smile.
"Eh, that's different, a few people came to arrest me, and they dared to drink my tea, I don't have this pride. "The grass is suddenly changing.
"Huh, do you know our purpose?" Ma Zicai was startled, and Huo Ran stood up.
They came this time, only Han Xiao and Zhao Xueyan knew that Zhao Xueyan had been in a coma for a day and a night, if Licao knew in advance that they were coming, it could only be the news that Han Xiao had passed on, but Han Xiao had been moving under his nose, and if he still spread the news, it could only be said that he was derelict in his duties.
"Of course. Licao smiled.
"Han Xiao told you?" Ma Zicai asked.
"Han Xiao?" Licao showed a confused look on his face, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, which kid is it, it turns out that you got the news from him." ”
"Ah, you don't know, you're lying to me!" Ma Zicai was stunned when he heard this, and then his old face turned red, he was also an old man, but he didn't expect that if he didn't check for a while, he was deceived by Licao's words, and he was immediately a little annoyed.
"That's not it!" Licao waved his hand, sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk, the malice on Zunjia is too strong, I smelled it before I entered the store, how could I not know what Zunjia is here for?"
"Malice?" Ma Zicai sat down slowly.
"Everything in the world has its own unique smell, man is the spirit of all things, nature is no exception, and human beings are different from other things, born with spirits, the mind is turning, because the mind is different, every moment will emit a different smell, as long as you smell the smell of the body, you will know what you are here for, why bother to inquire about anything?"
"Will you believe me?" Ma Zicai's face sank, this person's speech was ridiculous, and it was too nonsense.
Licao smiled, did not refute, snorted lightly at Ma Zicai, and said with a smile: "I went to Liangzhou once a year ago, went to Yuzhou half a year ago, and enjoyed peonies for a few days in Shendu. ”
"Have you checked me?" Ma Zicai was shocked again.
Licao smiled and shook his head slightly, but did not speak, as if he disdained to explain.
Ma Zicai's face sank like water, and Licao actually knew to him that he had been there half a year ago, and it seemed that he had been prepared, and I am afraid that today's matter will be difficult.
"Zicai, don't worry, if my guess is right, this Mr. Li hasn't checked you, he has awakened the nose consciousness in the eight senses of Buddhism. Pang Xie said suddenly.
