Chapter 220 Come Four Bowls of Tea
ten miles.For ordinary people, it is actually more than half an hour, but for them, it took an hour.

As for Qingzhu and Liu Qing, one is used to walking on the road, and the other is very good at lightness kungfu, so they walk even faster.And the two injured donkeys, although unable to run, could still keep up with the speed of Qing Zhu and Liu Qing.

Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong couldn't keep up.

Although as a man, he still has some sparse kung fu, but after all, he was injured, and for so many years, he has been attached to Fu Wang's mansion, and there are carriages and horses in and out, so he really hasn't walked a few steps by himself.

Therefore, after walking for about five miles, they fell far behind and couldn't keep up at all.

Liu Qing even took off the water bag in the end and let them drink some water, but they still walked more and more slowly.

Qingzhu and the others couldn't really leave the two of them alone, because it was still what Qingzhu said before: after all, it was the person sent by King Fu to see King Ning.

So, when he saw the tea shed by the roadside, Qingzhu still suggested: "Why don't we drink a bowl of tea here and rest for a while."

The tea shed is not big, just a wooden shelf, covered with thatch on the top, and simply surrounded by bamboo strips on all sides. At a glance, there are only three or four tables inside.

In front of the tea shed was an old man sitting in front of a stove lighting a fire, and beside him stood a simple-minded boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Everyone agreed with Qingzhu's proposal, especially Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong, who wanted to raise their hands and feet.

"Boss, the four bowls of tea should be lukewarm, not too hot." As soon as he entered the tea shed, Liu Qing spoke first.

Hearing that Liu Qing wanted four bowls of tea, Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong were almost moved to tears, but then, Liu Qing's next sentence made them take back all the emotion.

Because, Liu Qing went on to say something.

"Bring a bowl for me and my son, and two bowls of tea for my donkey."

"Then... what about us?" Qiu Peng asked, pointing at Liu Changsong and himself after hearing Liu Qing's words.

"You? You want tea, don't you want it yourself? I didn't use anything to gag your mouths." Liu Qing glanced at Qiu Peng and said angrily.

Hearing this, Qiu Peng nodded helplessly, and said: "That's true." Then he shouted: "Boss, here are two bowls of tea." After speaking, he was going to sit with Qing Zhu and Liu Qing.

"Go, there's not only one table here, you go sit somewhere else, what's the matter with squeezing us." Liu Qing stretched out his hand, and stopped Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong who were about to sit down and said.

With no other choice, Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong had to go to the table next to them.

After several people sat down, the young man came over with a few bowls and a teapot.

"Little brother, how far is it from the nearest town?" Seeing the boy approaching, Qing Zhu asked.

"It's not far away. There is a market town less than twenty miles ahead." The young man said as he placed the bowl.

The bowl was big and thick, but it looked clean. Green bamboo touched it lightly with your fingers, and it was still warm, obviously it had been scalded with hot water.

"Twenty miles..." Hearing the young man's words, Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong were almost desperate. According to their speed, how long would it take for the twenty miles to go...

"Then, is there a village near here?" Qingzhu looked at the boy and asked again.

"Well, our village is about three miles away from here, very close." The young man nodded, lifted the teapot high, and Qing Zhu and Liu Qing's bowls were filled with a large bowl of tea.

"Then do you have ox carts in your village?" Qingzhu continued to ask.

"Yes, our place is close to Fuzhou City, and there are quite a few people with ox carts at home." The boy nodded again.

"Then can you rent two bullock carts for us? If we don't go far, just go to the town ahead, do you think so?" Qingzhu said, and took out a silver coin of about [-] yuan, and put it He went to the corner of the table next to the boy and said, "This is your foot money."

"Sure, right now, everyone's ox carts are idle, and someone should be willing to run." The young man nodded, and then asked naively: "However, there are only a few of you, and an ox cart is not enough. Is that enough? Why do you need two bullock carts?"

"Our donkey was injured and couldn't go on the road, so we need an extra ox cart." Qing Zhu said, pointing to the donkey resting outside the shed.

"Ah, the donkey is injured..." The boy's eyes flashed with distress, and he said, "Well, I'll go back and get someone to drive the ox cart."

Then, the young man put down the bowl and teapot in his hand, and shouted to the old man who was burning the stove in front of the shed: "Grandpa, come and pour some tea, remember to pour a bowl for the two donkeys, and I'll call two donkeys for the guests." The bullock cart is coming.

After speaking, the boy ran out.

"It's coming..." Hearing the young man's voice, the old man stood up, walked aside and patted the ashes on his body, washed his hands in an old wooden basin, and then entered the room to give Qiu Peng and Liu Changsong Pour the tea well.He poured two more bowls of tea, brought them outside, and put them in front of the two injured donkeys, and said nonchalantly, "Drink, drink, you guys, although you are injured, you have a good master. Blessed too."

Then, the old man muttered a few more words in a low voice, then got up, went to sit down in front of the stove again.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the boy led two ox carts to the outside of the tea shed. Qingzhu went out to see that the two ox carts were both carts, and they should be used for pulling things on weekdays.

"Guest, I'm sorry, the ox carts here are all board carts without carriages. But don't worry, since you are going to Qiantou Town, you will take the official road, which is smooth and will not be bumped."

Watching Qingzhu look at the ox cart, the boy said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's pretty good, how much is it to go to the town ahead?" Qingzhu smiled, looking at the two people beside the boy who looked like peasants and asked.

"Guest, there are [-] miles ahead, you can pay [-] Wen for a car, do you think it's okay?" one of the men said.

"Success, then it's settled." Seeing that the two of them were honest and didn't ask for a price, Qingzhu nodded immediately, and then said to the young man in the tea shed: "Little brother, please help me get two yuan." Build a plank so that my donkey can go up."

"Okay." The young man nodded, and ran to the back of the tea shed, and took two wooden planks to build it.

After setting up the plank, Qingzhu put the two donkeys into one of the ox carts, then looked at the boy and asked, "How much is this tea?"

"No, there's no need." The boy shook his head and said, "The customer has given you enough money, so I don't need the tea money."

"One yard is worth one yard, and you still have to give the tea money." Qingzhu looked at the boy and smiled.

"It's really unnecessary." The young man's face was a little red, he shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly while looking at Qingzhu.

"It's fine if you don't accept our tea money, brother, but although those two people are with us, they have nothing to do with us. You should still accept their tea money, brother." Liu Qing said from the tea shed He came out from inside, looked at the boy, pointed to the person behind him, and said.
