Chapter 24
The sun shone in the city, and the cracks between the worn stone bricks on the ground were also extremely clear.An Xu, who just got up at this time, walked out of the inn with a basket on her back. The food in the inn was not expensive, but when she just passed the lobby, she saw that there were not a few grains of rice in the porridge, so she didn't plan to spend any more money on food.

A slight cool breeze blew in, which made An Xu feel better. Walking out of Pu'an Street where the inn is located, he walked south to the crossroads. Arrived, turned around and walked in.

A woman with a half-worn apron around her waist came over and asked, "What would you like to drink, little lady?"

When An Xu heard this, does this small tea stand still have many tricks?

"What's the matter?"

"The plum water in our house is good, and it is most liked by the ladies and wives in this city." The woman said with a smile, "How about a glass of plum water?"

"Then plum water." An Xu nodded, and at the same time looked at this small teahouse on the main street of the county seat. He said it was a teahouse, but in fact there was only a very simple shed built against the wall of a house on the side of the road. There were only two A stick for support.

"Plum water," the woman quickly brought a large rough earthenware tea cup to the table in front of An Xu, as if to see that she didn't bring dry food, and said: "We also have walnut cakes and apricot flower cakes at home. Would you like a plate, little lady?"

"No need," An Xu shook his head this time, but asked again: "Ma'am, does the government care if you build a tea shed by the street?"

As far as she knows, not only in modern times, there are urban management that do not allow citizens to build indiscriminately in the city, but also in ancient times, especially in highly developed metropolises, where you have to go to a special market for everything you sell.

In the Mulan poem I learned in junior high school, isn't there "Buy a horse in the East Market, and a saddle in the West Market"?It is said that the meaning of the two characters "things" is also related to the market in ancient times.

Aunt Chashui laughed and said, "We are a big county, how can we care about this? Have you seen the intersection in front of you? Every day at the beginning of the day, there will be country folks who sell vegetables, chickens, and eggs. .As long as we leave before dawn, that’s fine. The tea house in my house pays dozens of pennies every month, and the government is afraid that we will quit.”

An Xu: "Isn't the city gate closed every night?"

"Hey, kid, do you have something on your mind? The gate of the city is going to be closed, but those who sell vegetables have to come to the county town the night before. Some people's homes are far away from the county town. Boy, it's getting dark."

An Xu smiled.

"Do you want to do a small business in the city?" The tea lady was very kind, and there were not many people at this time, so she said a few more words, "Small business in our county is easy to do, and the yamen The master and the servants are all from good local families, so they won’t embarrass our small businessmen.”

An Xu said, "I'm just thinking about it now."

"Everything is sold in the city, you have to think about it carefully," the lady tea continued, "Be careful, if you can't sell anything, the stall fee of tens of pennies a month is a big deal."

"Looking at your young age, why would a girl run out to do business?"

Auntie is social cow x syndrome, An Xuzheng didn't know what to say next, two people, one old and one young, came from the south.

The old man was around 50 years old, wearing a blue cotton dress and wearing a crown on top of his hair. Although he didn't look worth much, he was a well-dressed person that An Xu rarely saw after traveling for several days.

For example, in Linhe Village, all the men in the village don't wear crowns, and the most particular one, Uncle An, has a piece of cloth wrapped around his head.

"Master, I heard that the tea brewed by this shop is the best in the entire Jipu County," said the boy in brown cloth.

The old man looked here, probably because he was satisfied with the hygienic environment of the teahouse, so he walked over step by step.

The lady tea is also good at watching people, she knew at a glance that the old man must be from a rich family, so she quickly dropped An Xu and came in to meet them, wiping the rag in her hand back and forth on a table twice.

"Guest officer, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

The old man sat down, looked around, and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of tea, just make a pot."

I don't think there will be any good tea in this stall.

The young man sat down and said: "Master, I heard that their refreshments are also good. You have been out for a long time, do you want to eat something?"

The old man waved his hand, "No, I'm not hungry yet. Take a boat, if you're hungry, order it yourself."

With a bitter face on the boat, he persuaded: "You have become so skinny. Don't eat more. When you go back, the old lady will definitely punish the villain. It's okay to punish the villain. You won't eat anything. Isn’t it a pain? I’m too, too sure and worried, the doctor’s treatment is not for nothing.”

"Since I quit drinking, I really don't have much appetite." The old man said, "If there is a bowl of wine to accompany the dishes, I can eat some."

Taking a boat to look around, he wondered: "My wife said, I will send someone to watch in the dark, I dare not secretly give you wine."

The tea aunt came over with a pot of hot tea and four teacups, and she was surprised when she heard what the boy had just said: "Alcohol is a good thing made from grain, can it also be sick?"

The old man didn't seem to mind at all, and said with a smile: "There is a limit to everything, isn't it bad if you exceed it? Especially steamed wine, which is strong and mellow, it is indeed attractive, and it is indeed hurtful."

Tea Lady smiled and said, "I've heard of steamed wine, but it's much more expensive than ordinary wine. Your disease is also a disease of wealth."

While speaking, the old man glanced at the young lady on the next table several times, and the tea lady cursed in her heart that she was not ashamed, and she also glanced when she left.

The open white steamed cloth bag on the table is neatly cut, and there is a finger-long one that looks like something made from a large intestine. The inside is red, yellow and yellow, which looks quite nice.

 Sorry, I was too busy to write yesterday, and I will update it every night around [-] o'clock in the future.
