Chapter 90 Tea shop
As the time for the Eight Destiny Sword Competition of Zangjian Villa was getting closer and closer, Lin Chen left after only staying in Tiangong Pavilion for a few days.
Before leaving, Li Zhengye, as his uncle, gave him a generous silver note as a means of money, so along the way, he no longer had to worry about the various problems caused by lack of money.
In this way, Lin Chen led a fast horse and first went to Jingchu alone. After the sword body was cast on Tiangong Pavilion, Li Xiaoran would send it to him.
Although Lin Chen had never been to Xiangchu before, he had followed Li Xiaoran all the way south before, and had some memories in his heart. In addition, he was holding a map given by Li Zhengye in his hand, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
Since Lin Chen's injuries had recovered at this moment, he was no longer as worried as he had been on the road. He went north, traveling day and night, crossing mountains and ridges. Compared to when he was heading south from Jingchu, at this moment, when he entered the territory of Jingchu from Xiangchu again, the time he took was reduced by one third!
Lin Chen led the horse to a tea shop on the side of the road, and tied the reins to a piece of wood standing in front of the tea shop. The wood was extremely thick and fixed with cement to a stone pier. There were several thick and curved nails on the wood, so Lin Chen tied the reins here, so he would not worry that the horse would run away.
After Lin Chen placed the horses, he stepped into the tea shop and shouted at the same time, "Waiter, come and make a pot of tea."
This kind of tea shop is usually built outside the wilderness, and the decoration is relatively simple, but the space is huge. It sells a pot of coarse tea, a plate of peanuts and other snacks to passers-by, and the tourists and merchants will choose to rest in this place after a long time of journey.
Lin Chen walked into the tea shop and found a seat nearby. In the tea shop, there was a servant with a towel hanging on his shoulder. He led a teapot and asked with a smile while pouring Lin Chen a pot of tea, "Does this guest need other things besides tea?"
"Oh?" Lin Chen took the cup of tea handed over by the servant and asked with interest: "What else do you have?"
"If you want to ask about it, then there are more things we sell here..." The servant put down the teapot and smiled and said, "We have dried buns, sesame cakes, peanuts, wet, and white porridge, noodles and wontons. But the weather has begun to get hot recently, and most of the guests are eating white porridge, so there is not much rice left in our teahouse. If the guest wants to eat it, he has to make a decision quickly!"
"In this case..." Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "Then give me a serving of everything except peanuts."
"All of them are all?" The servant felt that he had heard it wrong. The food they sold in the tea shop seemed not much, but pasta such as steamed buns and sesame cakes would swell when they encountered water, which was the easiest way for people to eat. So it was not easy to put so many things together, and it was not easy to finish it.
Besides, Lin Chen doesn't look like a very edible person.
"Yes, I'll give you one." Lin Chen nodded.
"Are the guest officer waiting for someone?" For some reason, the servant asked in a mess.
"No, I'm alone." Lin Chen shook his head and said to the servant: "Hurry up, I've been driving for several days in a row, and I'm so hungry."
I see!
The servant "suddenly realized" that there were not many tea shops like them, and if you travel continuously, you could only eat some pastries and other things to fill your stomach, and there was no oil or water in your stomach. This is no wonder Lin Chen ordered so much food at one time!
"Okay, please wait objectively for a while. The young man will go to the kitchen to urge him!" After the servant said that, he turned around and trotted, lifted the curtain hanging in the back of the tea shop, and walked in.
When the servant of the tea shop left, Lin Chen raised the tea cup in his hand and drank the tea in it. Although the taste of coarse tea was extremely bitter, Lin Chen, who had been basking in the sun for most of the day, didn't care about it. At this moment, he felt a stream of cold flowing into his throat, and then spread throughout his body, with a sense of comfort in speaking.
"Second brother."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Lin Chen turned his head and saw a young man wearing blue clothes and carrying a bag on his shoulders walking towards him.
Isn’t this person the Mu Jiawang?
"Brother!" Lin Chen was stunned. Shouldn't Mu Jiawang be in Jingzhou City?
"What a coincidence!" Mu Jiawang walked over with a smile.
Lin Chen quickly poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Brother, why are you here? And you are wearing a short dress..."
Because he had to hurry up, when Lin Chen passed by Jingzhou City, he did not stop for much, but walked directly over. At this moment, his location was far away from Jingzhou City.
Mu Jiawang sat down and took the tea handed over by Lin Chen without hesitation. After drinking it all, he put down the teacup and said, "Actually, I envy you, the people like the third brother, who look unrestrained and natural. So when you left Jingzhou, I left a letter to my father saying that he wanted to go out to the rivers and lakes. In addition, I heard that you were going to Jiangcheng before, so I kept going north. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Lin Chen had a strange expression and asked, "Brother, aren't you afraid that Master Mu will worry about you if you do this?"
"Not afraid." Mu Jiawang drank another cup of tea and continued, "That day, after I left a letter in my father's study, I was about to sneak out at night, but I didn't expect to hit my father and come back from outside. Then the father and son chatted for a while. I told him that I wanted to go out and take a look at the world like you, and see the customs and customs everywhere. Then the next day he sent me out and gave me a lot of money."
"That's how..." Lin Chen nodded. It happened that the servant just now brought the food he ordered, so he ate the sesame cakes, white porridge, noodles and other things he ordered, while listening to the interesting things Mu Jiawang said about him going out along the way.
The two of them rested in the tea shop for a long time. After the sun was no longer so strong that day, they set off again, trying to reach the next county and town before dark.
