Chapter 122

Sure enough, before the sky changed, the door of the main room of the thatched cottage was opened from the inside.Then an old man with a beard and staring strode out, seeing Lin Baozhu and Shi Dayong, he snorted coldly.

Lin Baozhu stood still, and was thinking about what kind of difficulties she would face and how to deal with them, when she saw the old man blowing his beard and staring fiercely at the two of them and said, "Why are you standing there, why don't you hurry in and get the books?" Take it for me, and carry the luggage into the car. The old man's body can't stand the toss, so he can't delay the meal."

The expected difficulty did not come, but Lin Baozhu was taken aback.But seeing the old man's angry appearance, she really found it quite funny.I couldn't help thinking, could it be that the old man condescended to come to Taoshuwan because there was no one to cook?

I have to say that Lin Baozhu is the truth.In fact, the old man was with His Highness Prince Rui before, but because of his bad temper and stubbornness, he quarreled with His Highness Prince Rui in a fit of anger, and he sent him to Taoxi County to settle down.However, His Royal Highness Prince Rui also knew about his bad temper, not only did he not bear any grudges, but instead sent someone to take care of the old man's basic necessities.

As a result, Prince Rui sent a letter yesterday to ask him to go to a village to be an enlightenment teacher, teaching a group of children who could not read a single word, he immediately felt that the whole person was not good, and he refused to do so.Unexpectedly, His Highness Prince Rui was neither angry nor punished, but just transferred away the person who has been taking care of him.

It's all right now, because of losing his temper, the old man has been hungry for two meals.To be exact, not only did he not eat, but he didn't even take a sip of hot water.

You said why didn't he go out and buy food by himself?Naturally, he didn't have any cash on hand, and this residence was really far away from the place where food was sold, how could his legs and feet stand up to walking for so long?
Even if he is a gentleman who is valued by others, he is still a mortal in the final analysis, not a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.No, he couldn't stand it the next day, and seeing the sky getting darker and gloomy, he was also afraid that the books he was drying would get wet, so he had to open the door and come out.

But coming out is coming out, and the airs that should be handled must be handled properly.

Lin Baozhu pursed her lips and laughed. Although the old man looked angry, he acted like a child when he spoke.She likes to deal with such people, knowledgeable, but not tricky.

"What are you laughing at, why don't you hurry up and work, be careful old man, I'll regret it later." Seeing Lin Baozhu smiling, the old man blushed and bowed his waist for food, which is really not the integrity of a scholar.But he was really hungry, he couldn't care less, he just snorted coldly, glared at the cunning Lin Baozhu, then glared at Shi Dayong, who was like a log, before throwing his sleeves and going back to the house.

Lin Baozhu responded and asked Shi Dayong to carry the luggage in the house, while she carefully put away the books on the stones in the yard, and carefully packed them into the bag.

Now that the work was over, the few people went to the inn where they stayed in the county seat again.

When they arrived at the inn, the old man hated him in every possible way. They had no choice but to hurry back to the village.Although I rushed a little on the road, but at noon, I just entered the village.

"Don't be annoyed, old man, but this junior has to tell you clearly. This private school was built for the children in the village, and Zhang Xiu was memorized by us, so we have to ask the old man first. How much is the dowry, sir, so that there will be no estrangement in the future." Lin Baozhu said with a smile as soon as he got out of the car and entered the yard.

Left and right have already arrived at Peach Tree Bay, and in their own territory, some things can naturally be said bluntly.As early as when she was in the car, she probably felt a little bit of the old man's temper, and playing tricks with him, it's better to speak directly.

Speaking of which, this really subverted her impression of scholars.It is said that most learned gentlemen are poor and poor, but when it came to Mr. Zhao, she didn't see it.I can only see that the old man has a tough mouth and a soft heart. Although his words are not pleasant, he is a good person.

Otherwise, because he knew that the private school was built for the future of the children, he wouldn't have shown a slightly pleasant look to her.

Hearing Lin Baozhu's words, the old man looked a little impatient, "What a layman, the old man still needs your little bit of repair?" After a pause, the old man said again, "Three meals a day, and then find someone to help the old man Cooking books and clothes will do.”

It's not difficult, Lin Baozhu naturally agreed with a smile.Then let Zhaodi go and invite Lizheng and Liu Jincai to come over, and then invite the old man into the house first, so that they can cook some meals for them.

"Old man, try the tea made by Zhang Ji. It is not as good as famous tea, but it has a special taste." Taking advantage of the time when the water boiled, Lin Baozhu brought the teapot into the room.Although she can do tea ceremony and so on, she doesn't have the conditions to show off now, not to mention that a person like the old man probably doesn't drink less tea, and his appreciation and appreciation of tea is probably not inferior to her.

Although she occasionally complains about the ignorance of the ancients, she dare not easily deny the wisdom and sentiments of the ancients.Handmade tea masters have been handed down since ancient times. Who can say that the current tea making skills must be better than the ancient ones?
You must know that many crafts are lost due to various reasons in the process of inheritance, which is the pain in the hearts of all tea masters who rely on crafts for their livelihood.

Because of these, she didn't dare to use an ax in front of the old gentleman.

The old man looked at the clear and fragrant tea in the tea bowl and couldn't help being a little dazed, as if he saw an old friend.She also learned an excellent tea-making skill, and once poured tea for him with a smile on her face.If it weren't for the unexpected changes back then, they would have been able to have both children now.All in all, if she survived by chance, her granddaughter might be as old as Lin Baozhu.

Perhaps after such a encounter, the old man's expression softened a lot.When I look at Lin Baozhu again, I don't always feel that she is a profiteer who is focused on profiteering.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help taking a sip from the tea bowl, because Lin Baozhu aroused the softness deep in his heart, so he happily gave her face.At the very least, he made up his mind that even if the tea tasted bad, he would still be concerned about her face.

However, the expected roughness and bitterness did not appear, the tea tasted fragrant, and I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that after the warm and sweet tea entered his stomach, he walked around his body, and his limbs and bones felt suddenly comfortable .

The tip of the nose is fragrant, and the clear but pleasant tea fragrance lingers for a long time.He really couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing the old man's expression, Lin Baozhu could tell that he was probably also shocked by the spring tea of ​​Baijiguan.But this is also within her expectation, Baijiguan tea is not only smooth and fragrant.More importantly, good white cockscomb tea can cleanse the breath of the whole body and make people feel an indescribable relaxation.

Speaking of which, there is another legend about Baijiguan tea.It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a monk named Yuan Hui in Huiyuan Temple in Wuyi Mountain. Apart from worshiping Buddha, he also planted a little-known tea garden.

One morning, Yuan Hui was weeding in the tea garden. When he arrived at the tea bed, he heard a scream of golden pheasants not far away.When he followed the sound, he saw an eagle chasing a young golden pheasant, and a female white golden pheasant beside him was protecting the young and risking his life to resist the eagle.It's a pity that when he chased away the eagle, the golden pheasant had already lost its breath.Full of compassion, he buried the golden pheasant beside the tea tree.

Unexpectedly, in the spring of the next year, the tea tree suddenly became different. The leaves of the tea were curled inwards and upwards like a cockscomb.The white fluff is a little shiny when it is under the sun.

Yuan Hui plucked the tea leaves and made new tea for storage, and this tea, which was very much like a cockscomb, was already full of fragrance even if it hadn't been brewed into tea. .Not to mention how the mouthful is full of body fluid after drinking, and the aftertaste is long.

Then one day, the prefect of Jianning brought his family members to visit the mountains. When they passed by Huiyuan Temple, the son of the prefect's family suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, so he asked Yuan Hui to see a doctor.Yuan Hui had no choice but to make white cockscomb tea and let him take it. After a while, the young master recovered from his illness.Later, the magistrate recovered from his illness not long after, and later the magistrate presented this tea. After tasting it, the Holy Master thought that the white cockscomb was the top grade of tea, and ordered it to be sealed as a tribute.Since then, Baijiguan tea has become famous far and wide.

Although it is a legend and cannot be verified, it is not groundless.Baijiguan tea can be passed down for hundreds of years, so it naturally has its unique charm.Of course, the craftsmanship of tea making is also the top priority.

And at this moment, Mr. Zhao felt its unique charm because of Hey Tea.This is not squinting, feeling the so-called scent of tea.

"Girl, is this tea made by you?" The old man squinted his eyes and asked after a long while shaking his head.Of course, he was also worried about being coaxed.

However, from the first hello, to the later hey, to the girl just now, the address has changed again and again, which naturally shows the change of the old man's mood.

At the beginning, he was forced to become a teacher in a private school of a merchant, and he was very unhappy in his heart.But seeing that the man was still sensible, and he was really hungry, so he let go.But now that he knew that the private school was not built for profit, and he could drink tea with the same superb tea-making skills as the old man here, his mind naturally moved.

Now that he has come, he might as well teach a few capable young people, and let His Highness Prince Rui see that his old bones are still useful in the future.As for the other reasons, he naturally wouldn't say that he stayed for the sake of good food and drink.

Seeing the old man drinking vigorously, Lin Baozhu left the house with a smile, and went to the kitchen to help Zhang Xiuniang cook.

And after a cup of tea, Zhang Lizheng and Liu Jincai hurried over.Especially Liu Jincai, when he saw the gentleman who was willing to come to the village to teach, he first bowed his hands respectfully and saluted, and then politely called sir.
