Chapter 236 Selling Chrysanthemum Tea
Li Qingxiu was so shocked because halfway up the mountain below were yellow and white paper money flying all over the sky, and a large group of people in mourning clothes were holding funeral ceremonies.
Li Qingxiu narrowed her eyes. Since these people were all wearing mourning clothes, it meant that they were not refugees.
If they were refugees, they would definitely not engage in such a big battle. The following group of people must be the people of Xinzhou City.
But why did so many people suddenly die in Shinshu? Hasn't Xinzhou been captured by King Zhao for a long time? Could it be that the imperial court sent people to take Xinzhou back, so it was because of another war that so many people died?
Although this matter was weird, Li Qingxiu had to do a task and couldn't waste time here, so she planned to change directions to avoid them and go to Xinzhou. Maybe she would know the reason for the matter when she got to Xinzhou.
When Li Qingxiu arrived at the gate of Xinzhou City carrying a bag of dried chrysanthemums, he saw that the city gate was already open, and there were two rows of soldiers guarding the left and right sides of the city gate.
There were many people in mourning clothes coming in and out. Li Qingxiu frowned when he saw this scene. It didn't look like there had just been a war. Since there was no war, how could so many people die?
Li Qingxiu, who was extremely confused, cautiously entered the city gate. The soldiers guarding both sides looked at Li Qingxiu for a while, but they did not embarrass her or ask her to pay the city fee. They probably thought she was a little kid.
Li Qingxiu entered Xinzhou City easily. The moment she entered the city, she was still in a daze. Why didn't she even need to pay the entrance fee this time? But it would be better not to use it. The money saved can be used to buy delicious food for Qingfeng Li.
Next, Li Qingxiu was dumbfounded. Why were seven or eight of the ten shops on both sides of this main route closed, and the remaining three or four were three large inns and pawn shops.
Moreover, the sidewalks on the main bluestone road all look sad or indifferent.
Li Qingxiu walked for a while and finally found a tea shop that was deserted.
Li Qingxiu walked in. She wanted to sell the chrysanthemums, but she had to complete the task first.
As soon as Li Qingxiu walked into the tea shop, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter immediately raised his head. A rare customer came in. The shopkeeper was about to greet him with a smile, but when he saw a gray-faced little girl, the corners of his mouth immediately dropped. .
But he didn't chase them away, but asked: "Little girl, what do you want?"
When Li Qingxiu first saw the shopkeeper's expression, she thought the shopkeeper was going to drive her away. As a result, although the shopkeeper had a bad expression, he still asked himself kindly.
Li Qingxiu also responded kindly: "Hello, shopkeeper, I would like to know if you sell scented tea here?"
The shopkeeper was stunned. He didn't expect that this little girl actually knew about scented tea. He nodded and said helplessly: "Originally, there were some, but because of the war and natural disasters, we haven't purchased any goods for a long time, so we no longer sell scented tea, and even the good tea is almost gone. Alas, I'll tell you Why is a girl talking about this? By the way, what do you want the scented tea for?"
The tea shop owner looked Li Qingxiu up and down and felt that this girl definitely didn't want to come to drink tea. As for what she was here for...
Seeing Li Qingxiu carrying a sack on his shoulders, an idea flashed in his head. This girl asked, could it be that the sack contained scented tea?
Li Qingxiu was very happy when she heard that the tea shop owner said that there was scented tea for sale. It was great. As long as the tea shop sold scented tea, her chrysanthemum tea would definitely be sold. She also heard what the shop owner had just said. Worry about being out of stock.
Li Qingxiu asked again: "Shopkeeper, do you sell chrysanthemum tea?"
The tea shop owner was stunned when he heard this, and the hope in his eyes immediately dimmed. How could he have hope for a little girl? This girl is here to cause trouble. Where can chrysanthemums be made into scented tea?
The scented tea in their tea shop is honeysuckle. Although the honeysuckle is a bit bitter, it can clear the liver and reduce internal heat, and it has a unique taste when you drink it. Readers who stay up late like to have a drink.
"Go, go, what are you causing trouble? I've been running a tea shop for so many years and I haven't heard of anyone drinking chrysanthemum tea?" After the tea shop owner finished speaking, he continued to lower his head and fiddle with the abacus.
This time it was Li Qingxiu's turn to be confused. The shopkeeper was fine just now, so why did he kick him out after a disagreement?
Li Qingxiu knew that selling had to be thick-skinned, so she carried the chrysanthemum to the tea table and sat down. "Then shopkeeper, what kind of flowers are the scented teas sold in this tea shop?"
The tea shop owner paused while fiddling with the abacus and looked up at Li Qingxiu again.
When Li Qingxiu saw the shopkeeper looking up at her, she not only didn't hide but also gave the shopkeeper a sweet smile.
The tea shop owner didn't expect that this little girl was quite thick-skinned. Alas, that's all, there's not much business to do today, so let's just let this little girl sit for a while.
Thinking of the little girl's question just now, the tea shop owner still answered: "Honeysuckle."
It turns out to be honeysuckle...
Li Qingxiu took out a tael of silver from the storage compartment, put it on the tea table with a little force, and said to the tea shop manager: "Shop manager, I want a cup of hot water, the kind that was just opened."
The tea shop owner raised his head again when he heard the sound. He frowned and was about to speak when he saw a piece of broken silver where Li Qingxiu had just taken the picture.
Only then did the tea shop owner realize that he had misjudged her. He didn't expect that this little girl was so plainly dressed and was worth one tael of silver.
It was rare for business to come to the door, so the tea shop owner naturally changed his face. He smiled and said: "Girl, one tael of silver can buy you a cup of good tea. What kind of tea do you want to drink? How about Maojian?"
Li Qingxiu raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, money can make all the difference. For a few cents of silver, she was able to make the shopkeeper change his face and even change his title. He was promoted from a little girl to a young girl.
Li Qingxiu smiled slightly and said, "No, bring an empty tea cup and a pot of hot water. Remember to ask for freshly boiled hot water!"
"Okay, girl, just wait a moment."
When the tea shop owner saw that Li Qingxiu insisted on asking for hot water, he stopped trying to persuade her. After all, one tael of silver to buy a cup of hot water is no different from picking up money for nothing.
After the tea shop owner brought the empty teacups and hot water, Li Qingxiu opened the sack, and a unique fragrance of chrysanthemums immediately spread out.
The tea shop owner took a look at the sack and was surprised to see large dried chrysanthemums inside.
Li Qingxiu took a chrysanthemum from the sack and put it into the tea cup in front of the tea shop owner, then picked up the kettle and poured hot water into the cup.
A chrysanthemum slowly stretched out under the impact of hot water. Not long after, a whole big chrysanthemum gradually bloomed into its most beautiful appearance.
"Here, can I drink this?" Although the tea shop owner thought the chrysanthemum in the tea cup was beautiful and magical, he still doubted its edibleability.
Li Qingxiu picked up the chrysanthemum tea in front of the tea shop owner, blew it and took a sip very elegantly. “It’s a pity that such refreshing chrysanthemum tea cannot be appreciated by the public.”
