The crossing rabbit is attacked by the dragon

The two woke up very early, Qi Shaohan because of his 24 years of daily life habits, and An Xiaoyi because of the habit of getting up early to work.After tidying up their appearance, the two left the inn, ready to have breakfast first, and then go to work.

"Selling steamed stuffed buns! They are big and delicious, and you get two coins for one!"

Early in the morning, bun sellers were yelling on the street, and some passers-by sat down and asked for buns and porridge, while others packed them away.

"Boss, give me two buns."

Qi Shaohan handed four Wen to the bun seller, took two warm buns, and gave one to An Xiaoyi.

"Yo, isn't this the little brother at the gate of the city yesterday?" Qi Shaohan, who was walking and eating, felt that the voice was familiar, and before he remembered who it was, he saw a fat man with small eyes standing in front of him, greeting him with a smile.After Qi Shaohan ate the buns in two or three bites, he took out his own towel and wiped his mouth.

"It's you."

"Hehe, it turns out that I still remember me. If I don't mind, can I have a cup of tea with Fatty?" Fatty's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"There are no teahouses open to welcome guests now, right?" Qi Shaohan didn't know that the wine and teahouses in Washi opened at five o'clock.

"I have my own way." The fat man said mysteriously.

"If that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obedient." Qi Shaohan agreed to the fat man, and stretched out his hand to grab An Xiaoyi who was still gnawing on the steamed stuffed bun.

Fatty took the two of them back and forth through the alleys for a while, and finally arrived at a street beside Ziye Lake in Zhongzhou City.At this time, there are already many pedestrians coming and going on the street, restaurants and teahouses on the street are also open to welcome customers, and there are still several flower boats parked by the lake.

"Hey, fat man, why are you interested in coming to drink tea with me today?" The female owner of the "Miaomiao" teahouse saw the fat man and greeted him with a smile.

"I brought two friends over for tea today. Boss, can you make me a pot of good tea?"

"Okay, it's rare that the fat man is willing to spend money today. I'll make tea for you myself."

The female boss took the three of them into the teahouse and found a quiet seat for them. "Brother, please." Qi Shaohan was not polite, sat down first, and pushed An Xiaoyi on the stool.The fat man then sat opposite to Qi Shaohan.

"Dare to ask my brother's name?"

"Qi Shaohan."

"Good name, the one next to you is—" the fat man said, looking at An Xiaoyi who was eating the steamed stuffed bun.

"He's my boy."

"Oh. Fatty, my surname is Li, and the single name is a word of treasure. Qi Shaoxia can call me Fatty."

Li Bao?What a name...

"Young man? You are wrong, I don't know martial arts." Qi Shaohan lied.

"Oh? But I heard that a handsome young man with a bamboo pole taught a lesson to the city lord's troubled son in Washi yesterday." The fat man rolled his small eyes.

Qi Shaohan pretended not to hear, and the fat man stopped the topic with sense of humor.

"Why haven't you finished eating yet?" Qi Shaohan suddenly caught a glimpse of the bun in An Xiaoyi's hand, and frowned slightly.

"I... now I have no food for lunch." An Xiaoyi blinked innocently.

"Who told you there's no lunch?"

"Didn't you say that we are running out of money? Of course we need to save money." An Xiaoyi said as a matter of course.

Qi Shaohan was depressed, how did An Xiaoyi's parents take care of him? "No need to save now, and we'll find jobs today."

"Oh." So An Xiaoyi obediently finished eating the buns, moved his stool to the side of Qi Shaohan, and sat down next to Qi Shaohan.Qi Shaohan stood the bamboo pole on the other side, acquiescing to An Xiaoyi's actions.

Alas, these two people don't look like masters and servants.The fat man complained, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Brother Qi, are you looking for a job?"

"Ah."

"Looking at you, you should have read a book, right?"

"Ah."

"In this case, I can introduce you to a good job."

Qi Shaohan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's listen."

The fat man was not in a hurry. He rinsed the teacups on the table one by one before saying, "It's Mr. Hongtu Village's private school. The salary is not low, but because the children there are too naughty, no one wants to go there now."

"Hongtu Village? What's that place?" Qi Shaohan said while holding An Xiaoyi's hand who was playing with his clothes.

"Hongtu Village is not far from Zhongzhou City, more than 20 miles away, and it takes half an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage."

Qi Shaohan suddenly remembered the village he passed by before coming to Zhongzhou City, and the promise he had made with the children in the village.

"Brother Fat, do you have a map around Zhongzhou City?"

Hearing this, the fat man took something out of his pocket and spread it out on the table. It was a map of Zhongzhou City and its surroundings.Qi Shaohan put An Xiaoyi's head, who was so bored and fell asleep, on his lap, and wrapped his left hand around An Xiaoyi to prevent him from falling.Fortunately, it was morning, and there were not many people in the teahouse, otherwise someone would definitely criticize Qi Shaohan's actions.

Fatty is also a slick person, he saw Qi Shaohan's movements, but he just smiled and said nothing.

Qi Shaohan quickly looked at the map, and he corresponded with the location in his memory. Hongtu Village is the village he passed by before!It seemed that he had a good relationship with those children, which just saved him the trouble of making an extra trip.

"Come on, this is Biluochun tea from Taihu Lake in Suzhou. It was delivered last night. You can drink it."

After Qi Shaohan put away the map, the female boss asked Xiao Er to pour tea, and a faint tea fragrance wafted out, Fatty and Qi Shaohan both took a deep breath.

"As expected of a famous tea, the fragrance is refreshing!" Fatty exclaimed.

"Of course, the tea in my teahouse is the best in Zhongzhou City!" The female boss said proudly.

Qi Shaohan took a sip from his teacup and tasted it carefully.Although he doesn't know the tea ceremony, the Biluochun tea has a long lasting fragrance, which is really good.

"Okay, you guys drink first, I'll greet other guests." The female boss left after finishing speaking, and looked at Qi Shaohan and An Xiaoyi with great interest before leaving.

"Brother Qi, have you decided yet?"

"Well, that's it."

"Okay, my caravan will be loading here at the tea house at noon today, and it will depart at Shen Shi, just passing through Hongtu Village. You two might as well take a ride."

"Thank you so much, Brother Fat. If Brother Fat needs help in the future, you can come to me."

"Okay, what I want is your words, brother."

After drinking the tea, Qi Shaohan woke An Xiaoyi up, and the two went shopping in the market.

"Young Master Qi, what do you want to buy?" An Xiaoyi looked around curiously.

"Sugar man." Qi Shaohan sideways protected An Xiaoyi, there were a lot of people on the street.

"Can you buy me one?" An Xiaoyi looked at Qi Shaohan staringly.

"it is good."

The two of them were lucky enough to meet Zhongzhou City's annual city celebration.The city celebration is as lively as a temple fair, and all snacks and gadgets will be cheaper than usual, and the city lord will also invite opera troupes to sing operas for free to the common people.

"The ancients said it right, one generation is strong and ten generations are weak!" Qi Shaohan sighed.

An Xiaoyi scratched his head strangely, Qi Shao, aren't you an ancient?

The two of them wandered around until noon, and returned to the teahouse after having lunch at the snack street. Fatty's motorcade had already loaded their goods.

"Brother Qi, there will be a date later."

"Brother fat, take care."

So the two sat between the cargo piles and went with the convoy to Hongtu Village.On the way, An Xiaoyi saw the bamboo pole in Qi Shaohan's hand, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Young Master Qi, why do you keep holding the bamboo pole?"

"Convenient." Qi Shaohan's answer was very simple, but An Xiaoyi couldn't see where it was convenient to hold a bamboo pole.He looked up and saw two birds parked in a tree by the side of the road, and suddenly remembered the two songs sung by his former classmates, and subconsciously sang them out.

"Twobirds in the tree, make love everyday." (The tune of the first and second sentences of Huangmei Opera "Tian Xian Pei")

"What?" Qi Shaohan's voice startled An Xiaoyi, and he explained with a smirk: "It's just two birds on the tree, every day..."

"What every day?" Qi Shaohan asked, crossing his arms.

"..." An Xiaoyi pretended to be stupid.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Hongtu Village. They said goodbye to the convoy and walked slowly towards the village.

"It's yesterday's big brother, he's back!" A child shouted in surprise when he saw Qi Shaohan, and soon they were surrounded by several children.

Qi Shaohan took out sugar figurines from An Xiaoyi's back and distributed them to the children. He looked at the happy children and said, "Do you know where the private school in the village is?"

"Is big brother going to a private school? No one has lived there for a long time."

"I am the new private school teacher, and this little brother is my assistant. We are going to the private school, can you tell me the way?"

"Yeah, let's take the two older brothers." The child handed a copper coin to Qi Shaohan and said, "Big brother, this is the sugar buyer's money." Qi Shaohan didn't refuse, and took the copper coin.

"Young Master Qi, you know them so well!" An Xiaoyi looked enviously at the child of Sugar Eater. He was always excluded by other children in childhood, and his parents didn't care about him.

A big hand held An Xiaoyi's skinny hand, he raised his head, and saw Qi Shaohan looking at him gently. "You will be happier than them in the future."

An Xiaoyi nodded heavily, he believed in Qi Shaohan.

Perhaps when the two met for the first time, an invisible thin thread held their wrists together, so An Xiaoyi inexplicably trusted Qi Shaohan, Qi Shaohan was inexplicably soft-hearted towards An Xiaoyi, and wanted to treat An Xiaoyi Righteousness.
