Wandao long distance

Chapter 14 Tea Stall
"Huh...huh." Li Qi panted heavily, and moved with staggering steps.

It is more than 100 miles away from Lizhou City. Although it has not yet left the jurisdiction, it is already sparsely populated.

To be honest, this is the first time Li Qi has traveled so far in this world.

In this world, most people will never leave their hometown, at least in Lizhou.

The farthest place people in the village have been to is probably the county seat, and the farthest place people in the county seat have been to is the state city, and the people in the state city may never leave the state city for a lifetime.

Li Qi had never been out of the state city, not once in more than three years, at most he would help pull the boat in the shallows in the city against the current, and then return when he pulled it to the suburbs where the water flow was smooth.

If he hadn't been in a hurry this time, he didn't want to leave the city.

He works at the wharf, pulls boats and sails, hears the gossip of various Cao Gang chambers of commerce, and knows the dangers of the wild.

There are monsters in the water. If you are lucky, you will be carp spirits. Turtle monsters are just teasing and will not hurt people. If you are unlucky, you will be water monkeys. A whole boat of people will die in it.

Instead of going to the water, take the mountain road, but the mountains are also densely covered with forests and swamps, and there are snakes, insects, rats and ants, beasts and raptors everywhere.

The truly safe place is only a human settlement.

Going out means danger.

He had been away for a day, and spent the night on the tree. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any problems. He ate some wild fruits. According to the original plan, he was going to Feng County, three hundred miles away.

It is said that Feng County is a relatively stable small county, and Li Qi will avoid the limelight there, and then return to Lizhou City after a year or so, so that nothing will happen.

After trekking a hundred miles a day, it was still full of rugged mountain roads, and he was still wearing straw sandals. Even with his current physical fitness, he was exhausted.

The only good thing is that it is still winter at this time, so the beasts are dormant, and the insects have not yet grown. Apart from being tired, there is no other torture along the way.

"Even if you don't go the wrong way, it's still three hundred miles...really." Li Qi was walking on the path in the wilderness, looking around to see if there were any tea stalls or water shops on the side of the road. He had been walking for a whole day. .

After looking around for a while, luckily, he found a tea stall on the side of the road.

He speeded up, and at the same time reached out and took out two copper coins from the bag behind his back.

The copper coin of Dalu Kingdom is called Dalu Wuzhu, its color is purple, and its weight is acceptable, but it is a bit thin, and one coin weighs about half a coin. He has about a thousand coins on him now, which is Yiguan.

Dalu five baht is the official currency of Dalu Kingdom. Most of Kaihe’s coins are of this kind, but they are actually not very valuable. The most common copper coins on the market are called ‘Deyuan Tongbao’, which contain a lot of copper and are widely circulated. It seems to be the copper coin of the Tang Dynasty, and one Deyuan Tongbao can be worth five deer and five baht.

Even, the weight of "one coin" in this world refers to the weight of a Deyuan Tongbao.

Even the unit of weight is in other people's currency, just from here, Li Qi already knows how powerful Tang is in this world.

Although this Tang country should have nothing to do with Tang in his own world.

However, this world is a little different. Although there are official coins, there is no silver in circulation. Economic activities are almost still completed by copper coins, and only in rare cases will gold be used to pay bills.

Even bills and the like are recorded in copper coins, and in rare cases of large-value transactions, gold tickets will be used.

Baiyin seemed to have been kicked out of the economic system, and Li Qi didn't quite understand the specific reason.

The one thousand deer and five baht that Li Qi carried on his body was worth one thousand dollars in the Great Deer Country. The purchasing power was actually quite good, enough to buy half a pig, which was three to four hundred catties of meat.

Generally speaking, a catty of meat costs two or three renminbi, and two copper coins are enough to drink a pot of tea at a tea stand and eat two plates of snacks that come with it.

However, Li Qi would definitely not be willing to eat these two or three coins in normal times.

Two or three jins are enough to buy two or three catties of rice. People in this world generally eat a lot, and there are many people who eat ten catties of rice in one meal. Two or three catties of steamed rice are only ten catties.

Besides, pork is cheap, and the price of expensive beef and mutton has to be doubled or tripled, which is really not something he can afford. After all, the tracker is still a physical laborer, and he has no strength if he is not full, so in most cases, he is just plain rice If you are full, if you have some vegetables, it is good to have some pickles. If you don’t have it, you can make do with water plants and salt.

Occasionally there are some fish for tooth sacrifice, but fish...eating river fish without seasoning is really a kind of torture. If it is not for nutritional considerations, Li Qining would rather eat plain rice.

Fortunately, rice is enough.

Pray to the farmer who grows Lingmi. If it weren't for him, countless people in this world would starve to death. At least the cultivation method would not be so popular.

No matter what kind of exercise it is, it has to be based on eating. If there is not enough nutrition, everything is nonsense.

Oh, except for the technique, up to now, Li Qi doesn't know what the source of the power of the Bull Power Technique is.

The existence of Lingmi prevents physical workers like him from dying of exhaustion and starvation. Li Qi, the inventor, does not know and has never heard of it, but he often prays to the old man.

This kind of feat is enough to honor the saint.

Worshiping the old man, Li Qi walked towards the tea stand.

Now that he has the technique, he may try to find some other ways to make money.

The things learned in the mind are said to come from qi.

But what the hell is Qi?

I don’t understand, let’s learn it slowly in the future, as soon as you hear something like the inheritance of divine will, you will know that it is not a common thing, and it will take a long, long time if you want to do the cow power technique again.

Holding two copper coins tightly in his hand, Li Qi walked to the tea stall on the side of the road.

"Dr. Tea, bring a pot of tea!" Li Qi slapped down two copper coins and shouted loudly.

There are many people around, because even though it is winter, the traveling traders don't stop. They also gather at this tea stand to drink tea and have a rest, and then carry their big baskets on their backs to do business among the villages.

However, the peddlers were also very distinct, with different baskets sitting together, it was obvious that they were all gangs. Li Qi was the only one, sitting alone between the two peddlers, looking out of place.

"Okay! Here we come!" Dr. Tea shouted, and quickly came over, enthusiastically wiped the table for Li Qi, then brought a pot of tea and two plates of pastries as a gift.

They are all rice cakes, made with Lingmi.

After all, it's a free gift, and it can't be too expensive. Using rice cakes is already very good.

Li Qi picked up a piece and chewed it. Although the raw material was also rice, it always had a bit more flavor than white rice, and with the hunger in his stomach, it tasted good.

After eating a piece of rice cake, he drank another cup of warm tea.

The temperature of the tea is not hot, but just warm. After all, the customers of this kind of tea stall are hard-working people. It is impossible to endure thirst and wait for the tea to cool slowly, so it is warm water and tea leaves that have been soaked for a day. There is almost no fragrance at all, it can only be said that it is barely a tea taste.

"Huh..." However, Li Qi was already very satisfied. According to this speed, he should be able to reach Feng County tomorrow night, right?

However, at this time, someone suddenly said to Li Qi behind his back: "Brother, are you traveling alone?"
