Su Yan got up early in the morning, took a bamboo basket and a small shovel and rushed to the bamboo forest. On the way, he met Zuo Qing. He had a rag belt torn from an unknown piece of clothing tied around his hand.
There was also a weird knot tied around his neck. Only Su Ming in the world could create such a masterpiece, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Just because of these extra glances, Zuo Qing intended to pass by, but at this moment he stopped and looked at the bamboo basket and shovel with a confused look on his face: "What are you going to do?"
Su Yan picked up the basket and said happily: "Pick melons! Then sell them at the market. The melons I grow are so sweet. I want to be second in this town, but no one dares to say first!"
Zuo Qing raised his head and looked around, a little confused, "This is obviously a tavern, but you don't open the door for business, but you go to the market to sell melons? It's strange. When I met you yesterday, you were collecting herbs... What kind of business do you do?
of?"
Su Yan couldn't help but feel sad. If he had to rely on his master's shabby tavern, he wouldn't be able to drink the northwest wind.
"But are you encountering difficulties?"
Su Yan lamented: "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite!"
The person in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to care. He gave a perfunctory response and walked away. Su Yan couldn't help but thought: This person is incomprehensible!
Su Yan was only nineteen years old, an age when girls from various families had already given birth to children, yet she was left alone in her boudoir and no one cared about her! So much so that the neighbors used it as a laughing stock. But Su Yan didn't care, and still went out for walks every day, having fun with the men in the neighborhood.
They went to the mountains to collect medicines, and when they were unhappy, they set up stalls to do business, especially watching the gossiping women to steal business. For this reason, they became famous in the town, and the neighbors in the street avoided her.
She was delayed for a while when she went out. When she went to grab a stall, there was no room for her. Only the most remote corner was left, and no one noticed it. She spread out the spread and picked some of the best-looking products from the basket.
After putting the good ones on the table, he took out the cattail leaf fan from his pocket, raised his hand to the colleague next to him and said, "Let me give you permission!"
But the woman said strangely: "Hey! This is not the daughter of the Su family, why is your master willing to sell you out? This is not a comfortable job, and your master is too unkind. It is better to get married early and save time to show off.
Isn’t it?”
"Yes, yes!" the little old man opposite took over: "You are already old. If you don't find a good family, you will be a loser!"
Su Yan's words made Su Yan feel dizzy and he couldn't help but spat: "What did you eat this morning? Do you or two have such bad mouths?"
The woman snorted coldly: "We care about you too. Look at yourself. You dress up like this and run to the street to hawk. How can any young man be willing to look at you? Except for the half-mad and half-foolish Du Miao from the Li family who thinks you are an idiot.
precious!"
Alas! It’s true that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. It’s impossible to sell melons quietly! Just when she was about to have a seizure, a shadow suddenly blocked the sun and didn’t move. She thought it was a guest and happily wanted to say hello, but she didn’t
I thought it was Zuo Qing.
I saw him standing in front of the stall like an ice sculpture, staring at the melons on the ground and saying, "Your master asked me to let you know that when you go back, you can pick up some firewood and collect the rent from the pawn shop."
The sun was shining brightly, but standing here, Zuo Qing felt like it was cold winter. Su Yan complained: "Can you speak with a little more popularity?"
Zuo Qing didn't answer, but still stood stubbornly in front of him, as if waiting for her reply. Su Yan shook his head, sighing how there could be such a weirdo in the world. After all, he took him in, but why was he so indifferent?
He looked as if someone owed him five hundred silver, which was really rare! He complained to himself: "Chopping firewood, you are using me as a subordinate? Do you think you are a noble or an official? You are calling me around all day long, and so are you,
Just come and tell him what he said. How long have you known each other?" Su Yan looked at him, and a sudden idea came to his mind, and he quickly pulled him over: "Since you listen to my master so much, then I am his disciple, and you also
You should listen to me, right?"
The corners of Zuo Qing's mouth rose slightly, knowing clearly: "Selling melons for you?"
"Ah!" Su Yan said with a shocked look on his face: "How did you know?"
He frowned and said nothing. Su Yan thought that he could not save his dignity and could not help but be disappointed. He was about to give up, but Zuo Qing nodded, and a cool voice came: "Okay."
Surprised and overjoyed, Su Yan bowed respectfully and said to him: "Sir, you are really flexible and flexible. You will be able to achieve great things in the future! I leave this place to you." After saying that, he planned to turn back and suddenly came towards him.
Two figures, one as skinny as dry wood and the other as short, fat and fat as pig essence, came straight towards this side. Su Yan looked closely, and by chance, the person on the opposite side of the road was actually the enemy Li Xian, and him.
My dear father, Li Gui, couldn't eat or sleep well that day without crowding around!
Su Yan cried out that she was unlucky and hurriedly rolled up the melon to escape, regardless of whether Zuo Qing followed or not. She didn't want to have bad luck so early in the morning. She couldn't afford to offend him, so she couldn't afford to hide!
Although Li Gui intended to tease her, he really couldn't keep up with the speed. However, his son rushed out like lightning and blocked her way in the blink of an eye. At this time, Li Gui also followed up, panting.
Su Yan hugged the melon in her arms tightly and glanced at Zuo Qing. Zuo Qing understood and stood in front of her.
He is indeed a humble gentleman!
Li Chen has always been Su Yan's follower. No matter how much he is disliked, no matter how much the two families turn against each other, he will follow her happily, but it has never been able to alleviate the problem. But now a suave young man suddenly appears to save the beauty, and his heart
Suddenly he became upset, his eyes immediately turned red like rabbit eyes, and he stared at Zuo Qing, wanting to go up and tear him apart. But before Li Gui could take a breath, he popped out his middle finger covered with a big gold ring, and started to spit.
Xingzi: "Girl, why do you run away when you see me? Yesterday I heard that your master got a good thing. Why, are you afraid that I will steal it? Hey! Who do you think I am, Li Gui? Who knows who doesn't know me?
Xiao, you are a conscientious businessman. You must have done something wrong to run away when you saw me, right?" His voice was hoarse, like a drake whose neck was stepped on.
Su Yan looked at the father and son in front of him, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he felt like vomiting. But he still had to bow respectfully and say, "Uncle Li."
Li Gui pinched his goatee and stared at her with interest. At this time, he was out of breath. He spoke confidently, "Is your restaurant about to close down and you just came out to set up a stall? Why do you have such a hard life?"
? Just sell the restaurant to me, and you will have a good time eating and drinking in the rest of your life. Why are you so hard-thinking about it?"
Li Chen agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, I can be with Ayan from now on!"
Su Yan rolled his eyes fiercely, then put on a smile and said, "Uncle Li, what are you talking about? My family's restaurant business has always been good. Selling the restaurant is something he won't be able to do even if he dies! Besides, like this
Many people are setting up stalls, and I’m here to try my luck. It’s not unreasonable to make more money. Is it possible that all those who set up stalls are poor?” She deliberately said the last sentence loudly, causing an explosion in the street.
The women turned red with anger and looked into Li Gui's eyes, almost wanting to eat them. A few strong men simply picked up the guy and tried to hit him. Li Gui was so frightened that he quickly admitted his mistake. The next moment, he was holding half of the man behind.
The stupid son ran away.
Su Yan looked at the quickly disappearing shadow and was filled with emotion. After living for so many years, he was able to vent his anger for the first time. It was so refreshing! Without saying anything or doing any business, he led Zuo Qing to find a restaurant for a full meal.
It is said that people who are short-handed and soft-spoken have a soft mouth. Although Zuo Qing has a cold temperament, he is still an ordinary person who still knows a little about the world. After the meal, he finally relaxed a little and knew the cause and effect of the chance encounter in the valley that day.
, it turned out that he was going all the way north to Rongguo, but he didn't expect to be separated from his servant halfway, but he accidentally saved Su Yan.
Su Yan tapped the wine bowl with her chopsticks and said leisurely: "We are really destined. Since we are destined, why don't we..." She wanted to continue, but saw Zuo Qing's expression unchanged and swallowed it back. She didn't expect this sentence.
Zuo Qing was interested, so he picked up the jug, poured a bowl, and raised his glass to toast her: "Although I met the girl by chance, we are still life and death friends, so we made an alliance through wine and became friends." After that, he said.
, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup slowly, and continued, "I am a member of the Rongguo family. I have been appointed as a court official in the capital. If the girl has the opportunity to come to Ruoshui in the future, I will definitely treat you warmly."
Su Yan stared at it blankly, wiping the water stains on her mouth while wiping the water stains on her mouth, while smiling slightly at herself. Seeing such a beautiful scene made her heart beat fast. When she came back to her senses, she felt ashamed and hurriedly raised her hand.
After drinking wine, he went back and said to him: "I am familiar with Rong Guo, and I will definitely go there in the future. Then you should pay more attention to me. Once you say something, it is hard to chase him back!"
Zuo Qing nodded in agreement, and then changed the pot of tea to sooth her throat, but Su Yan stopped her. She picked up the teapot, opened the lid, smelled it, looked at it again, and said: "The tea leaves are not shiny, they are not newly picked, and the heat is not good when they are fried."
It’s not enough, and it got damp during storage. Storing things in a place like Jiangnan is the most troublesome. It’s easy to get moldy if you’re not careful. This tea has obviously been processed after it became moldy.” The final conclusion: “The store owner is really evil.”
A bright light appeared in Zuo Qing's eyes: "Then what kind of tea is considered top quality?"
Su Yan patted the table and said excitedly: "You have asked the right person! Apart from drinking and fighting, making tea is my second greatest interest in life! This tea is usually picked before May. How to pick tea?
It is also very particular. When frying tea, the heat must be controlled appropriately, and it needs to be stir-fried constantly. Then remove the heat for five inches, and finally wrap it in high-quality soft paper and store it in a dry place so that the essence of the tea will not be lost. Then make the tea.
And drinking tea, these two points are the exclusive rights of the dignitaries. Generally, the dignitaries like to use mountain spring water to make tea. Because the mountain spring water is delicate and pure, making tea is of course the best choice. Of course, some people like to store the old year's tea.
The snow water is used to make tea in spring, and the taste is also very unique..."
Zuo Qing placed the tea cup on the table and whispered: "Well... I probably know the process."
Su Yan clicked his tongue twice with some unfinished meaning.
"The way you talk, you sound like a teacher. It seems that you are quite knowledgeable. It's a pity."
"What a pity? My skills are just mediocre. If I really show my skills, I won't be picked on by my seniors."
Zuo Qing smiled narrowly.
Su Yanyue became more and more interested. He crossed his legs and said boldly: "It's better for me to drink and fight. The knowledge of tea ceremony is for the dignitaries to have fun with." After that, he drank half a bottle of wine and dragged Zuo Qing to accompany him.
He drank by himself, made drinking orders, guessed riddles and punches, all the same. In the end, he was half drunk, dancing and laughing. At dusk, with the street lights hanging high, he leaned on his shoulder to calm down a little.
After the fight, Zuo Qing never dared to drink with her again, but that was all a story for another day.
