"Lao Xu Teahouse. Xue Hanjiang looked at the signboard of the teahouse and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu is casual." ”

At this time, it was already night, and there was no one on the street, Xue Hanjiang stretched out his finger and erased the four words on the signboard with sword qi.

"On cold nights, guests come to tea as wine, and the bamboo stove soup is boiling red. Xue Hanjiang read the poem and wrote the words "Kelai Teahouse" on the signboard.

"That's it, open tomorrow. Xue Hanjiang looked at the bright moon in the sky, and the communication flying sword in his hand appeared, and he couldn't wait to tell Liu Sisi about the fact that he had opened a teahouse in Xuandu.

On the second day, Xue Hanjiang prepared tea sets and tea leaves early, cleaned the inside and outside of the teahouse, and opened the door before the hour arrived. Some of the people around were just a little strange that the teahouse had changed its name and owner, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Xue Hanjiang sat boredly at the counter, looked at the people passing by the door, and said to himself: "It's been an hour, why don't you have a single guest, how does this old man's business continue?" Xue Hanjiang reluctantly took out a book and flipped through it, while Xiaobai was lying outside the store lazily basking in the sun.

"Boss, bring me a pot of old tea. A voice came from outside the door, and a dusty man walked in.

Xue Hanjiang put down the book, and when he saw that the guest finally came, he laughed and said, "Okay, wait a minute." Xue Hanjiang found the tea box with the word "old tea" written on the shelf, took the tea, put it in the teapot, and then poured the boiling water that had been boiling into the teapot.

This old tea is not actually an aged tea, but it is different from other teas. Most of the other tea leaves are made from the young leaves of the tea tree, and it is made from the slightly older leaves on the edge of the young leaves of the tea tree, although it is not as good as other teas, but it is the most thirst-quenching.

Xue Hanjiang came to the man with a teapot, the man's face was dark, his eyes were deep, and his lips were chapped and white. The clothes were full of mud and dust, and there was an ordinary style of Pu knife on the table, and at a glance he knew that he was a down-and-out swordsman.

Xue Hanjiang flipped over the teacup on the table, filled the teacup with tea, then put the teapot on the table, and said to the man with a smile: "Guest officer, the old tea you want is here, please use it slowly." ”

The down-and-out swordsman picked up the cup and drank it all, despite the fact that the tea was hot. He still felt that it was not enjoyable, so he directly picked up the teapot, put the spout to his mouth, and drank it directly, looking like he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"This place is close to Xizhimen, he should have just returned from outside the capital, I'm afraid he hasn't drunk water for a while. He drank such hot tea, but he was not hurt at all, I am afraid that he is a body refining mirror martial artist who has achieved cultivation. Xue Hanjiang secretly analyzed in his heart.

The down-and-out swordsman quickly finished drinking the pot of tea, and he was only then a little more energetic, and asked Xue Hanjiang, "I remember that the previous boss here seems to be an old man. ”

"This guest officer didn't know that Uncle Xu took his granddaughter back to his hometown yesterday, as if he had offended a powerful person in Xuandu. I bought this shop from Uncle Xu. Xue Hanjiang explained with a smile.

"I see. The down-and-out swordsman picked up the knife on the table, put down the two copper coins, and turned and walked towards the door. Before he could reach the door, several unkind-looking warriors came in at the door.

"Stinky boy, the signboard has been changed, guests come to the teahouse, I see if the guests dare to come!"

The down-and-out swordsman was stunned, walked back to the table just now, picked up the two copper coins, and said to Xue Hanjiang: "Little boss, two copper coins, I'll help you send them away." ”

Xue Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the down-and-out swordsman, and said: "This person is the son of the powerful who forced Uncle Xu away, you will accept these two copper plates, I'm afraid it is not very cost-effective." ”

"Enough. The down-and-out swordsman glanced at the noble man, smiled and said, "They are only worth so much. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't take him seriously, the noble prince showed anger on his face, and said respectfully to the three martial artists standing at the door: "Three masters, I'm sorry for you!"

The three warriors returned the salute politely, and as soon as their bodies moved, they attacked the down-and-out swordsman and Xue Hanjiang.

The down-and-out swordsman took the sword out of the sheath, only to see a flash of knife light, the fierce killing intent mixed with the fierce sword qi, and the blood splashed in an instant, and the three warriors hurriedly retreated, but they all had a scar on their chests that was not deep or shallow.

"Shura Sword!" One of the warriors seemed to recognize the identity of this person, and said in horror: "You are Qian Wuyan!" The faces of the other two warriors changed drastically, the two glanced at each other, and the two of them set up the noble prince and took him out of the teahouse without saying anything.

"I didn't expect this teahouse to be covered by the famous Shura sword, we really don't know Taishan, I want to apologize for my son, and I will never bother again in the future!"

Xue Hanjiang waved his hand and said impatiently: "Get out, get out, don't let me see you again." The man didn't dare to move when he heard this, and his eyes looked straight at Qian Wuya. Qian Wuya returned the knife into the sheath, ignored the man, opened the money bag, and put the two copper coins inside.

"Don't get out of here, be careful that this big brother cuts you!" Xue Hanjiang rolled his eyes and scolded.

The man ran out in a panic, and his foot hit the table, causing one of the tables to nearly topple over.

Xue Hanjiang looked at Zhao Wuya carefully and said with a smile: "You are very short of money now?"

"I've always been short of money. Zhao Wuya stuffed the money bag into his chest and said coldly.

"I have a chance to make money here, do you want to?" asked Xue Hanjiang.

Zhao Wuya stared at Xue Hanjiang for a while before he said coldly, "Do you want me to help you kill someone?"

Xue Hanjiang was stunned again, and said with a smile: "I don't even have anyone I want to beat, where is there anyone I want to kill." ”

"And what do you want me to do for you?"

"My teahouse is not big, it is not small, and there is still a lack of a guy who serves tea and pours water, you see......" Xue Hanjiang was interrupted by Zhao Wuya before you could finish speaking, "I'm not interested." Before leaving, he glanced at Xue Hanjiang again, with a strange look on his face, "Little boss, you are very interesting." ”

Xue Hanjiang looked at his back and said with a smile: "Each other." ”

After a while, a few more guests came, those who seemed to be regular customers here, all asked why Xu Mao was not there, Xue Hanjiang explained one by one, and those people sighed, but they were also very satisfied with the tea made by Xue Hanjiang.

After lunch, the teahouse began to be busy, and Xue Hanjiang was serving tea and pouring water, boiling water, checking out, and being busy.

"It's time to find a guy. Xue Hanjiang sighed, looked at Xiao Bai who was sleeping in the corner, and said: "Stinky Xiaobai, you can't serve tea or pour water, watching your master busy work, you sleep happily!"

Xiaobai didn't care, his ears moved slightly, and he snorted again.

When the teahouse closed, Xue Hanjiang went back to the back room and couldn't wait to write a job poster.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Hanjiang posted the recruitment notice.

"Our store recruits a guy who pours tea and pours water, boils water to make tea, and requires good conduct, and he is paid two taels of silver per month. ”

As soon as this notice came out, many people did come, but these people were all rejected by Xue Hanjiang.

"Big brother looks like this, don't come out to be scary, where can the guests drink tea when they see you." ”

"What? I need to take care of food and shelter! ”

"Big brother, it's really not that I'm discriminating against you, but you can't pour tea and water with your feet, even if you can, the guests can't accept it." ”

"This eldest sister, we are only recruiting guys, I think you should go to Chunhua Building over there and ask. ”

......

Xue Hanji was not only busy dealing with these people, but also had to receive guests, pour water and make tea, and was in a mess.

"Are you still looking for people here?"

Xue Hanjiang was finally busy for a while, and was lying on the counter with a helpless face, when he heard a timid voice, he raised his head and looked, but there was no one.

"What about people?" Xue Hanjiang wondered.

"I'm here. A small, blackened hand stretched out from the counter.

Xue Hanjiang stood up and stretched out his head to look, only to see a swarthy child of seven or eight years old in shabby clothes staring at him with big eyes.

"Are you going to come to me as a buddy?" Xue Hanjiang asked suspiciously: "Where is your father?"

The child had a sad look on his face and whispered, "My father and mother are sick and dead. ”

"And who are you living with now?"

"I live with my grandmother now. ”

"Why are you here to be a buddy?"

"I want to make money, and if I make money, my grandmother won't work so hard. ”

Xue Hanjiang looked at the child with a serious face and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Yunqi. ”

"Go to the poor place of the water, and sit and watch the clouds rise. Xue Hanjiang looked at Zhao Yunqi, and saw himself back then, he smiled at Zhao Yunqi and said, "My name is Xue Hanjiang, and I am the owner of this guest teahouse, and you will be my buddy from today on." He took out a tael of silver from his cuff, handed it to Zhao Yunqi, and said, "These two silver are my half-monthly wages in advance, and you ask your grandmother to buy you a piece of cloth and make a set of clothes." You also go home and wash up, I'm a teahouse here, you have to be clean. ”

Zhao Yunqi stared wide-eyed, with a look of disbelief, he was actually ready to be rejected by this boss, but he didn't expect that he not only accepted himself as a partner, but also gave him half a month's salary in advance, which was beyond his expectations.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Xue Hanjiang smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "When Uncle Li promised me to help him herd sheep, was I the same way?" He walked out of the counter and stuffed the broken silver into Zhao Yunqi's small hand, "Go quickly." ”

Zhao Yunqi nodded, bent deeply to Xue Hanjiang, saluted, and ran out of the teahouse.

"Little boss, you are so generous, you just gave the salary first, don't be afraid that the child will not come back!" Seeing this scene, a regular customer of Uncle Xu in the teahouse said to Xue Hanjiang.

Xue Hanjiang smiled and said, "I believe he won't." ”

After a while, Zhao Yunqi led an old woman into the teahouse. Zhao Yunqi pointed to Xue Hanjiang and said to the old woman: "Grandma, it was this Xue boss who promised me to be a junior in his shop and gave me this silver." ”

The old woman nodded, walked to the counter, put the silver given by Xue Hanjiang on the counter and said to Xue Hanjiang: "Little boss, thank you for your kindness." This kid can't just be a guy at a young age, the old man has also earned some money in the past few years, and he is going to send him to the academy to read and write in a few days, and he may have a good future in the future. ”

Xue Hanjiang didn't expect Zhao Yunqi's grandmother to have such knowledge, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just Mengxue, I can also teach this, but Zhao Yunqi's salary can only be one or two a month, and the other one or two is tuition." He quietly took out the basic Mengxue book that Yu Buqi had given him from the Qingyun Ring, and pretended to take it out from under the counter.
