Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 242

It was Chu Guo, the third aunt of the Chu family who spoke.

And after she finished speaking, Miss Chu Si also followed closely: "Yes, give me one too, I want that wisdom thirsty water."

Wen Shu knew that they were taking care of her own business and helping herself out, but she was a little unsure whether she could drink two glasses of thirsty water in a day, so she had to refuse for the sake of safety.

"Thank you for the kindness of the third aunt, but each person can only drink one cup of this thirsty water a day. If the third aunt really likes it, I will send you one to your house."

Third Aunt Chu didn't expect her to say that, and was a little stunned for a moment.

After he reacted, he felt that Wen Shu must have seen through her good intentions before deliberately refusing, so he couldn't help being a little funny at the moment.

She really wants to try again.

However, since she said so, and there are other guests at the moment, it's not easy to say anything, so she just smiled, "That's not necessary, I will come here to offer incense every day, and then I will come to the tea house to drink."

"That's a good thing. I'll cook some other food for my third aunt tomorrow."

They were chatting lively with questions and answers, but the expressions of the old woman's family on the side were all different.

The old woman looked like I've seen through your little tricks a long time ago, so don't forget to play the oboe in front of me, and the middle-aged couple was surprised with a hint of curiosity.

When they came in, they really didn't pay attention to what was written on the wooden sign. When the poor lady asked what they wanted, they realized that there seemed to be a sign at the door.

Most of the wooden signs like this standing at the door are written on the signboards of each store, so that customers who come for the first time or who are not familiar with it can know at a glance what is the best selling in the store.

It's just that they didn't expect that an ordinary tea shop in a remote place in the outskirts of Beijing would dare to ask for three hundred cash for thirsty water.

The couple looked at each other, and then saw the middle-aged man waving his hand, "Then let me have a drink first, and let me taste the difference in the thirsty water in this capital."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman on the side refused to do it. She stood up suddenly, pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "You have money to burn. Although our family is not short of money, it's not like this. , should also be spent in the fan building."

When she was in her hometown, she had heard that there was a family building in Bianjing, but it was a place that spent a lot of money.Not to mention the dazzling array of food and tastes, even the utensils used for eating are made of gold, silver and jade, the old lady has long wanted to come and see.

So all the way, I urged my eldest son to hurry up, so that she could see the beauty of Bianjing early.Unexpectedly, before entering the city, she was "blackmailed" by a small tea shop first. How could the overbearing old lady bear it.

Seeing that Da'er really spent a lot of money to buy that kind of thirsty water worth a few hundred pennies a cup, he suddenly became angry.

However, the middle-aged man seemed to have expected it a long time ago, so he just followed the old lady and said: "We are going to the Fanlou, but it doesn't hurt to taste the thirsty water for three hundred yuan. Mother, think about Erlang, That's an important position. If outsiders know about it," he lowered his head to the old woman's ear, "...wouldn't it be embarrassing."

Although he spoke in a low voice, Wen Shu, who had been paying attention to the other side, faintly heard the words "can't drink", and then saw the old woman sit down slowly, although she was not very satisfied, she did not refute.

Seeing this, Wen Shu thought, this uncle is quite good at coaxing people, and knows how to take advantage of others.Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a few more guests coming outside the door.

Four middle-aged men and an old woman, over sixty years old, plainly dressed, with long hair combed neatly, were being supported by two sons in front of her.

The two men who helped her were one in his thirties with full beards, and the other in his early twenties with dark skin and an honest look.

The old woman who was supported by them was smiling all over her face. Although her eyes were looking straight ahead, her eyes did not fall on Wen Shu or Mrs. Zhao, but she was staring vaguely at the curtain of the back door.

Looking at the expressions of the men on both sides supporting her, Wen Shu immediately came to the conclusion that this mother-in-law has eye problems.

Therefore, when the leading man asked what kind of tea soup is suitable for the elderly, she enthusiastically recommended "Brightening Eyes and Thirsty Water".

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and dared not look any further.

However, the expected hopping and cursing did not happen, she only heard the big sigh and asked slightly, "Is it good for the eyes to eat this thirsty child?"

Wen Shu nodded without hesitation.

The big man answered readily. "Sure, let's have a try."

Lady Zhao raised her head in surprise, just in time to meet the gaze of the big man, she was startled for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and lowered her head.

After hearing this, the old lady hesitated a bit, took the big man's hand and said, "Farewell, Dalang, three hundred wen is enough to catch three medicines."

Although she also thought it was expensive, she didn't jump out to accuse Wen Shu of asking too much, but pulled her son to dispel his idea.

"It's okay mother, if eating it is really good for your eyes, then it's worth it."

"But Shiro and Goro are still waiting to marry a wife, and three hundred cash is enough to buy them a suit of clothes."

"I have saved enough money for their marriage. You put your heart in your stomach and drink with peace of mind. I will ask the doctor to take a good look at you when you go to the city. Your eyes will definitely heal."

When the big man appeases the old woman, Wen Shu is already adjusting the thirsty water.

Unlike the family just now, this family can tell who is in charge at a glance.So as soon as the big man spoke, he did it.

Besides, even if they have no money to buy recently, Wen Shu will give one for free, because she knows the person who came.

Years ago, Wushu Temple sold leeks, and it was the person in front of her. The big man who called himself "Master Xiao" gave her a good corner of the place, and said that she could go there again when she sold vegetables.

Although she never sold vegetables again, she always remembers this friendship.

Today happened to happen, and their mother happened to suffer from eye disease. This can help, and Wen Shu will help no matter what.

After appeasing his mother, the big man ordered four more cups of red bayberry thirsty water, and then helped the old woman sit down near the gate.

Seeing this scene, the old woman in front of her head thought of something, and stabbed her son next to her.

The middle-aged man reacted very quickly, and hurriedly said to Wenshu: "My lady from the host family, give my mother one too. If it is really good for eyes, ten or a hundred will not be a problem."

The old woman was very satisfied with what the eldest son said, she nodded slightly, and cast a slanted glance at Wenshu, as if to say, my son is not only filial, but also capable.

However, Wenshu was wearing a veil hat, so that she could not see the reaction of the face underneath, but then the little lady's words made her face sink again.

"Lang Jun was joking, ten lamps are probably possible, but there are no hundred lamps, and it is impossible."

She only got so many Yaocao in total, and after selling them all, how can they make a signboard? Besides, she doesn't even need ten lamps for common eye diseases, let alone a hundred lamps.

But when the old woman heard this, she felt that if she took Joe, if she was not afraid that others would say that she couldn't afford it and make fun of her, she would have dragged the man away on the spot.

So when Wen Shu brought the prepared thirsty water in front of her, she still had a bad face.

The table for the Xiao family brothers was delivered by Mrs. Zhao. Four bayberry thirsty water and a Mingmu thirsty water were placed on the table. The big man immediately pushed the "Mingmu thirsty water" to the old lady, "Mother, thirsty water Here you go drink."

The old lady sensed the teacup, held the teacup in both hands, and drank it in small sips, like drinking gold.

After taking a sip, the old woman on the other end curled her lips and said, "It's not very good, it's not as good as our well water."

Turning around, Wen Shu who had just walked to the stove: "."

"Really?" The middle-aged man picked up the "Wisdom Thirst Water" in front of him suspiciously and took a sip, "It's not bad, it tastes sweet and has a hint of rosin." However, five hundred Wen is indeed a bit expensive.

After tasting, the middle-aged man was a little disappointed.

"Anyway, I don't think it's worth the price." The old woman glared at him, then picked up the teacup angrily, and drank the remaining thirsty water in one gulp.

Although it's not worth it, I bought it all. Wouldn't it be more wasteful not to drink it?
