Chapter 9: A Bowl of Tea
"Young master, let's go in and rest, let's have a cup of tea, you see Xiao Fang is almost exhausted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Outside Anyang County, in front of the "One Bowl of Tea" shop, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman was shaking the arm of a young man in a white robe and begging. A young master in blue next to him lifted the burden on his back and said, "Young master, don't listen to her nonsense, I think she is too tired to do it, and she has arrived at the city gate, so it is better to go into the city and find an inn to rest." ”
These people were the alliance leader's mansion and his party, Zhang Dali and Xiaolan were driving the carriage behind, and they hadn't followed yet. Originally, Zhang Muye and the others were also going to take a carriage, but the blame was that Xiaolian went out with too many things, and there was nowhere to put her feet in the carriage, so she could only ride one horse by herself.
The horses brought out are also good horses, and Zhang Muye rode a snow-white jade lion in the night. It's just that after walking all the way for more than a hundred miles, the horses are tired and panting, anyway, it is not far from Anyang City, and several people simply lead the horses all the way to walk.
Zhang Muye is not tired, after crossing, there are no other benefits, this original body is made of steel and iron, but it is easy to use. It's just that when I saw Xiaolian's pitiful eyes, I felt a little sorry in my heart, and when I saw that it was still early, I nodded and said, "Okay, go in and take a break, Xiaofang will go and tie the horse up." ”
"It's me again. Xiao Fang took the reins dejectedly, and a few wooden stakes were planted not far from the tea shop, which were specially used for tethering horses.
"Boss, a pot of dragon wells. Xiaolian jumped into the tea shop and shouted first.
The boss saw a few people wandering in front of the shop before, knowing that business was coming, he was still happy, hearing Xiaolian's words, his expression was stunned, and he smiled bitterly: "This woman, there is no dragon well in the shop, only Pu'er and melon slices." ”
Xiaolian was dressed freshly, and she wore a leather vest outside, and the shopkeeper called a woman.
"Let's have a pot of melon slices. Zhang Muye came in and said.
The shopkeeper smiled, "Okay, you two wait. ”
Xiaolian was a little unhappy, and said: "This shop is also bad, there is no Longjing, Pu'er, are the melon slices drunk by our children in the rivers and lakes?"
Zhang Muye felt a little funny, but he dared to love that this Longjing was a special tea for people in the rivers and lakes. However, the name of tea in this world is the same as before, but I don't know if the taste is the same.
But before he could speak, the shopkeeper had already brought the teapot and asked, "How many distinguished guests are there?"
"Five, and two more are behind. ”
The shopkeeper touched five more teacups and said with a smile: "This melon slice is simple, it is easy to brew, and it is easy to drink, as long as it is hot." ”
Zhang Muye smiled: "Thank you." ”
"This master is polite, use it slowly," and then went to wipe the table next to him. It seems that the flow of customers in this store is not large, and Zhang Muye and his party will come at this time, and the owner of this store is also doing several jobs by himself.
Zhang Muye lifted the teapot and took a look inside, yes, the shape is like melon seeds, the color is like jade, and it is exactly the same as the melon slices in the previous life. Don't care about Xiaolian, pour yourself a cup first, mellow and refreshing, astringent and sweet, with the fragrance of ripe chestnuts, sure enough, it is a melon slice. Unexpectedly, although this firewood shop is small, the tea is good.
Seeing Zhang Muye's refreshing expression on the side, Xiaolian also poured herself a glass, and was a little disappointed after taking a sip, "It looks very green, and it tastes so astringent." ”
Zhang Muye smiled: "This is not the lotus seed soup cooked by your sister Xiaolan." ”
Xiaolian took two more sips before she tasted the sweetness a little, and said with a smile: "It's sweet now." ”
"Haha, it's not that the tea is sweet, it's that your mouth is too bitter and you feel that your saliva is sweet. Zhang Muye quipped.
Xiao Fang had already tied his horse in at this time, and asked curiously, "Who has sweet saliva, Xiaolian's?"
"Zhang Xiaofang, you are shameless!" Xiaolian immediately exploded.
Zhang Muye is used to them like this, drinking tea by himself, not caring about these two little children at all, and letting them quarrel by themselves. Until Xiaolan and the others came in to stop, Zhang Muye was already half a pot of tea.
Zhang Muye greeted with a smile: "Third uncle, Xiaolan, come and taste this tea, it's very good." ”
The shopkeeper was wiping the table next to him, and when he heard Zhang Muye's words, he smiled proudly.
Xiaolian didn't quarrel with Xiao Fang anymore, but she didn't sit and drink tea honestly, she looked around, and saw that the boss had been wiping the table next to her, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, why do you only wipe this table, and you have been wiping it for a long time, can you rub out a flower?"
The boss stopped moving, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "The little girl said that she laughed, there are not many tables in the shop, so she is bored if she doesn't wipe it a few times." ”
Xiaolian laughed and said: "That's right, your shop is too clean, I think the boss is not small, guarding this broken shop, I haven't found a daughter-in-law yet." ”
This Xiaolian has been getting more and more confused recently, and she dares to say anything, Zhang Muye sighed deeply, he has to be a good example of Wei Guangzheng, and it is good to set things right for this girl.
The shopkeeper also looked confused, and said embarrassedly: "I really haven't been married before." ”
Xiaolian looked at the tea shop and said to the boss: "Shopkeeper, did you give the name of this shop? Aren't you selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? ”
Xiaolan next to her pulled her sleeve and said in a low voice: "That's wrong, this selling dog meat on a sheep's head is not a good thing, don't use it indiscriminately." ”
Xiaolian didn't know what was wrong, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "Anyway, your name is not good, you don't even have a bowl." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't keep up with the rhythm all of a sudden, and he didn't expect to talk about the name of his store in a blink of an eye. ”
Xiaolian snorted and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, you look down on Miss Ben-" She glanced at Xiaolan and Zhang Dali again, and changed her words: "Look down on this girl, this girl has traveled south and north, no one has seen it, nothing has been seen, children of the rivers and lakes, of course, eat vegetables and drink tea." ”
"Okay, Xiaolian, I don't think you're tired, since that's the case, you go to catch the car right away. Zhang Muye saw that the shopkeeper couldn't resist it, and the exit relieved him. turned around and said to the boss: "But the shop, the name of your store is really chic, but the business is a little bleak." ”
What the guest said was that there was only some tea sold at the gate of the city, and there were few people who came to drink it, and those who wanted to drink tea were not bad enough to take a few steps into the city. The shopkeeper said with a bitter face.
Zhang Muye asked him a little strangely: "Then why don't you go to the city to sell tea, I see that your tea is of good quality, not like the tea that this firewood shop should sell." ”
The shopkeeper was about to reply, but he heard a rough shout outside, "Zhu Yuanwu, you haven't paid the land tax at the end of this month, how long will it be delayed?" ”
The shopkeeper Zhu Yuanwu's face turned pale, and Zhang Muye and the others looked out curiously, and saw two big men in Tsing Yi, each carrying a knife, standing outside menacingly.
