Chapter 61

"Freshly ground soy milk, delicious freshly ground soy milk, a bowl only costs two copper coins!"

"The sesame seed cakes just out of the oven, everyone who has eaten them say they are good, one for every copper plate! Six for five copper plates!"

"Fresh meat buns, the quantity is limited, first come, first served! Come and see!"

The light rain is murmuring, falling towards this small city full of fireworks.

Liu An strolled along a street in the morning market, letting the long raindrops hit his body, his clothes were slightly wet.

Pedestrians on the road are either in a hurry or slowly, and they are full of enthusiasm for life.

The happiness they pursue is actually not difficult, as long as they have enough food and their families are healthy.

But these were rare in previous years.

Therefore, the praises of the current saint can be heard everywhere, such as the group of children running around with their buttocks bare in the rain, singing nursery rhymes incessantly.

"Boss, let's see some good tea." Liu An stepped into a tavern and picked a tea table by the window.

"Dele, wait a moment."

This tavern is not too big, there are not many places, and the decoration is extremely simple, but there is a pleasant smell of tea and wine.

The shopkeeper is an old man who is over sixty years old, but he walks like a dragon and a tiger while walking, with an imposing manner, which does not look like an old man at all.

"Guest officer, your tea." Not long after, a pot of hot tea with a pleasant aroma was brought to the table by the old man.

Liu An gently twisted the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "The tea is good tea, but it has a bit of bitterness that does not belong to this kind of tea fragrance."

"Oh? The guest officer is also a person who understands tea." Hearing this comment, the old man couldn't help but stop walking.

The old man turned around, pulled out a chair from under the table, sat down on his own, picked up a teacup, and sipped it.

"This is fragrant tea. It is sweet and refreshing, so why is it bitter?" the old man said, and drank it in one gulp.

"This bitterness naturally has nothing to do with tea. Tasting tea should be regarded as a nine-point satisfaction." Liu An smiled and drank it all in one gulp, then filled the teacups of the two to two-thirds again.

"Then there is one point left?" The old man tapped the tea table three times as a kowtow.

"The rest of the points should be the meaning of the cup of tea."

"The guest officer just laughed, I am a good old man, where is the bitterness?" The old man shook his head and retorted with a smile.

"Staying in such a small town, no one would be reconciled to it." Liu An changed the subject and did not continue to explain, "The palms are covered with calluses, and they don't look like the hands of a shopkeeper. If I guessed correctly , This should be the trace that can only be polished by a variety of weapons."

"Hehe, little friend has good eyesight." The old man didn't say anything to refute this time, and even changed his address, "It should be more than these aspects, little friend has seen something else."

"He walks vigorously like a tiger, and his skill is restrained, which shows that he has not stopped practicing for a day."

"With such skill, you shouldn't be an unknown person. The dark wounds on your body can't even bury the blood and fire."

Liu An took another sip of tea, waiting for the old man's next words.

"Old man, I am not reconciled, but it's not because I'm staying in this small town." The old man sighed quietly, "Forget it, let's not talk about the old man. Seeing that my little friend's jade hands are as white as a girl, he must be a scholar who came to Beijing to catch the exam. Bar."

"There are not many scholars nowadays who can have the eyesight of a little friend, alas."

Seeing that Liu An didn't reply, the old man took it for granted.

"Shopkeeper Wu, here are some jars of good wine, and some appetizers!" The old man was about to say something more, but at this moment, three people entered the tavern.

"Dele, come right now." Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly replied, and got up immediately.

"Old man, I'm going to entertain the guests first, so I won't bother my little friend here."

Liu An nodded with a smile, looked at the busy back of shopkeeper Wu, but shook his head for a while, and continued to drink tea slowly.

"Eh, this brother looks familiar, but he came from a foreign country?" Among the three people who came in together just now, the man who was the leader looked at Liu An's position and asked.

Liu An nodded, and continued to drink tea under the misty misty rain outside the window.

"Shopkeeper Wu, serve this brother another altar of good wine, and don't forget the food and drinks. I will count it on my account."

"Dele."

Liu An couldn't help being a little surprised by this warm hospitality.

The man seemed to sense Liu An's surprise, and explained:

"In our small town, it's rare to see a strange face, let alone a scholar like Xiongtai."

"Yes, although our place is small, most of us are hospitable people."

"Yes, yes, yes, especially listening to outsiders talk about the outside world, it will be another source of conversation when the time comes haha."

The personalities of these people were quite to Liu An's liking, so they chatted with them for a while.

"Haha, have a blast, this drink is really a blast." When the men got drunk, they all showed their chests and arms, and threw their glasses vigorously.

"My surname is Miao, don't you know your brother's name?" The man in the lead clasped his fists and said.

"Miangui's surname is Liu."

"Today, I had a good time with Mr. Liu and learned a lot. It's a pity that today I can't enjoy myself to the fullest. My brothers and I have to go to work later, so I will not accompany you. We will meet later."

"Well, goodbye by fate."

Several people tied their rough clothes around their waists, and then walked out of the tavern with their shoulders crossed.

"Our elder brother is only so polite when he is with scholars."

"That's right, he can fly into the sky with two hairs on his head."

"Rolling, rolling, each of them has grown up, and they dare to make fun of me."

Its heroic sound wave gradually drifts away with the distance.

Liu An also smiled, and immediately drank the last drop of wine in the cup.

"Shopkeeper Wu, check out."

"What's the result? That drink belongs to Xiao Miao, and this pot of tea belongs to the old man. You can go to the exam with peace of mind."

"To tell you the truth, I know some faces, old man, but I can't see you clearly. From this, you can see that you are definitely not someone in the pool. One day, you will be able to fly high in high school."

"Old man, I don't have any thoughts. I hope that after high school, my little friend can do his best to help the current emperor. If there is a little friend to help Ming Jun, my old bones can also rest in peace."
